Applebee's Grill + Bar

"I've been living in Stafford since 2017. I used to frequent this place at least once a week for about a year. Then something happened and it tanked. I know the pandemic messed up the restaurant business pretty good, but the food here is inconsistent and always has been. The place is 50/50 dirty with tables almost never turned over. But most importantly, the service is horrifically slow and most of the staff is very apathetic. Occasionally we've had some amazing servers, but they usually don't last long and we never see them again. Do yourself a favor and go to Chili's (literally next door to it). It's not much better, but it's still better. Or bdubs (also right next to it). I remember going once after arriving home from a flight (around 11pm). There was a woman sitting at the bar drinking with her kid in the stool next to her (probably around 11). Just skip this place."

"My family and I went to Applebees for my 6 year olds birthday. We quietly told the waitress that it was her birthday, to have the staff sing her happy birthday. When we got our food, my chicken in my Alfredo was undercooked and the pasta was overcooked. My husbands fiesta lime chicken was so salty he ate it and started coughing. My daughter’s strawberry and yogurt was curdled. We sent the food back, and it was comped, thankfully which I appreciate. However, the waitress then secretly asks what dessert we wanted. She brought it and just handed it to my daughter, without singing happy birthday. That was extremely disappointing, especially because she just watched her brother get sung happy birthday at the same apple bees. Usually the food is pretty good, and the service is wonderful. However, this time was disappointing enough to discuss."

"The one good thing was the service. The place is kind of shabby and the air vents in the ceiling are so old and dirty they're gross. The food was not great: the broccoli was fine but the grilled chicken breast was NOT. I'll never go back there."

"Great visit , not too busy and server was very friendly, my entree barely had any cheese despite it being a 4cheese pasta plate it was hot and fresh though"

"Cheese sticks were good, pasta was bland, and the chicken was tasty. Every since the global transportation shortage, I noticed a trend in food at these types of restaurants not tasting the same. I was bothered that they sat a couple right next to us as opposed to spreading us out."
