Applebee's Grill + Bar

"Where do I start, I walked in ask how the long the wait was for my family if 5 she said I need to go clear a table off. Another one walked up and said would be about 2 hours because they are short staff. The lady went to go clear the table off and flat disappeared. Another party came in and got the table. It was party of 9. Another party of 5 came in and said I’m sorry we are full and it was a party of 5. It seems to me the servers are sitting people they want because they charge extra fee for a larger group. The team looks very frustrated at their job or management. This restaurant needs help big time. I’m glad we are visiting from out of town"

"I went to an Applebees in Michigan, and it was great. Decided to go back and got the same thing. The bowl was less flavorful, and the service was lacking. I loved our server, but it did not seem like there were enough people working, so maybe the cooks are in the same boat."

"Literally got food poisoning from this place. I already knew it was not going to be great but after getting so sick, definitely never go here. The cooks are CLEARLY mishandling food considering I was having terrible stomach issues for hours on end after eating here. The servers were amazing and super helpful and kind. We had already sent back a steak since it was looking old and like a super overcooked porkchop. Someone at our table got the same exact steak and theirs looked good. I have never left a review for anywhere ever but I just had to say this. DO NOT EAT HERE"

"Ordered dinner for take out yesterday. My salad was fine but my wife’s dressing was spoiled. My wife’s chicken tenders seemed as if they were cooked a day or two before as they were extremely dry and tough. My steak that I ordered mid rare was mid well to well done. The steak was less than 1/2 inch thick so there is no way to cook it properly. I ordered for a selected pickup time and picked it up 2 minutes early, was home in less than 10 minutes to plate the food and it was terrible. It had been a while since I had been to this Applebees but will not ever go back. There were only probably 15 people in the restaurant at 6:10 pm on a weekday. I used to go here weekly years ago, such a shame they have went down hill that much."

"Entering the restaurant, it took a while for a hostess to appear. When we were seated, the service was decent, until the end. We had cone for my son's birthday and waited so long to order dessert that we just paid and left. The chicken in my broccoli chicken Alfredo was burnt. The sauce and broccoli were fine. The chips were too flimsy to hold toppings. Bethany was nice until she never brought a dessert menu knowing we were there for a birthday. The only real delight was a very friendly bus person who checked on us several times and was very sweet. He should be doing the serving."
