Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
I used to like the southwest quesidilla burger at Applebees, but even that has lost its luster. Applebees has some great Happy Hour specials, and the South facing patio is a favorite of ours during summer days. However, their kitchen is really behind the rest of the pack (Green Mill, Ground Round, Chile's, etc...). You never are really satisfied after you leave. Unless, it's after five ice cold Brewtus beers!

Husband and I decided to use up some of the gift cards we had so we come here for some later night half priced appetizers. The food was really good and our waitress was helpful and attentive. Well, that was up until we paid our bill. We had 3 gift cards, one with a bit over $4, another with a bit over $11 and then one with $25. After using the ones with low amounts on them she used the $25 gift card to pay the remaining balance which left $12.90 on the gift card. She brought us a receipt showing what was deducted and what was remaining on that gift card. We gave her a 20% tip which would have been about $5.45 but I decided to round it up to $6. I wrote six $6 down in the tip line signed it and handed the receipt and gift card back to her. We watched her walk into the kitchen set it down and walk right back out. We waited and waited and waited and we never received the gift card back with the remaining balance of $6.90 on it. Finally flagged down another waitress to ask her to get our waitress. During this time the manager came by and could see that I wasn't happy and when I explained that we wanted to leave but our waitress have not yet returned our gift card he went and found her and brought our waitress over to us. When we told her we wanted to leave and was waiting for her to return our gift cert with the remaining balance on it after she took her tip off she stated she had given us our card back and I said no you did not otherwise we wouldn't be standing here waiting to get it back. She starts looking in her black revise book and saying she did gave it back to us and we are saying, no you did not. She went off to look for it and at this point I realized I needed to remove myself from the situation because I was not having any of this Bologna she was trying to feed us. Ultimately they could not find the gift card which had $12.90 on it so in turn they gave us a $10 gift card to make up for it. What really upsets me is that she knows she did not give me back that card and she walked away with a 40% plus tip. I have absolutely no problem tipping and tipping well but when somebody pull something like this it does not make me happy. So my advice if you're going to go to this restaurant or any restaurant, keep a close eye on your gift card/s.

My husband, sister, and I went to lunch here. We waited a long time for our food (two burgers, wings, and two side salads). While we were waiting the waitress did not come back to check on us, give us an update on wait time, or refill our drinks which were empty. The food was mediocre. Nothing special. I don't think the price was worth the wait or the taste-- $50 for just three people. We won't be back. There are other restaurants with shorter wait times, more attentive staff, and a better price.

Went in to grab food to go. The wait was long but service was good. I got the nachos verde. First is seems like they used stale chips, limited cheese on bottom and then more stale chips with lettuce on top. Very different type of nachos, the type without cheese or cheese at the bottom. Do not recommend. Maybe try something else and don't carry out, definitely treated as a nuisance rather than a customer.

My family and some friends went their after some mma fights and wanted to watch the fights worth our group. 5 people got there first and they sat them. Which would of been fine if we didn't ask for a table that fits 10. The hostess was rude and crossed off that we needed a large table for 10. Talked to the manager and he refused to seat us or put us on the list if everyone wasn't there yet. All of us then arrived and still refused to seat us in the back since he sent home all of his staff. After 20 min he finally put us at a table. But it gets worse all of our food was wrong and we had to send it back and he was still going to charge us for one of our guests food even though she sent it back twice and they messed it up so bad she didn't want anything. The root of the problem is the horrible manager who had zero customer services and was beyond rude. We will never eat at an applebees ever again.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
