Reviews
The server was very friendly and professional, apologized several times for the wait, but obviously not her fault. We will not be going back there,a hamburger is not that had to cook and doesn’t take that long. My husband also ordered a burger just a different kind and his was also crunchy!
No thank you!
The service was great. The food was pretty fair, not bad.
Our family of five went for lunch. My wife & I got the all you can eat shrimp, boneless wings, and rib cutlets. The kids ordered from the kids menu. Our orders were taken quickly, drinks & refills were prompt, and the food was cooked thoroughly, and delivered in a timely manner. Everything was reasonable. With a total ticket being about $55, not too bad I think. Only critique is the cleanliness could be improved of the facility & restroom.
Food prep: We waited for more than an hour and were told a couple times along the way that there are some new folks in the kitchen. Finally our youngest was getting restless for bed and we asked them to box the food without ever serving it to us- during the following conversation we understood this is a common occurrence. Having a one off would be bad but it being a common theme and management not fixing it is another.
Quality of food: My wife is sick after ordering their burger, need I say more. The oil used in the wings and burger seems stale and excessive.
I would not recommend this place to anyone who is looking for service within an hour.
We wasted an hour here. Walked in and was greeted by a greeter rolling her eyes. Never seen that before. Should have trusted my gut feeling and left right then. After being seated our waitress came to take our order. She was very friendly. Brought our drinks out pretty quick. Then after about 15 minutes brought refills. Great. Except, one drink had a black floaty in it, and it wasn’t black pepper. So, we kept waiting with one kid not enjoying his drink until we hit 40 minutes. We watched a couple of other customers get up and walk out during that time. Finally, an apology for the delay and then here came our appetizer. Finally!! Except, no plates and now we had to wait for a drink and plates while the food got cold. While we waited, we noticed a HAIR right on top of the appetizer! Luckily, I didn’t throw up in your floor. I told our waitress we were not paying for that and to cancel everything. She apologized as we walked out. I don’t blame her entirely. She was at the mercy of the rest of the crew. The restaurant was not very busy, so the long wait was not justified.
We drove down the road and found La Leyenda Authentic Mexican Restaurant, a small locally owned restaurant. We had a great time there. The atmosphere was inviting and very clean. The greeter / waitress was all smiles and very kind. She brought chips and salsa as soon as we were seated. She took our order and we had our food in no time. The food was great too by the way. Very good. The best Mexican food I’ve found anywhere. The differences between large corporations and locally owned small businesses were made clear. If you like Mexican food and want a great meal at a great price and in a timely manner, I highly recommend La Leyenda!
If I were over this Applebee’s, I’d call everyone in for a mandatory meeting. I’d read a few of the bad reviews. I’d tell them these are the changes that are taking effect immediately. Greeters are required to smile and say hello, thank you and goodbye to customers. All food handlers will wear hair nets without exception. Dishwashers will actually clean the dishes and silverware. A manager or trained crew leader would be on every shift and perform regular quality control for cleanliness. The manager would have communication skills to know when and how to interact with people. The manager would be required to make their presence obvious and be approachable by both crew and customers. Music volume would be kept at a more tolerable level, and the music choice would be better suited for the crowd and controlled by the corporation, not employees or customers. Focus on training for efficiency and establish a reward system to motivate employees to get things done in a timely manner. Focus directly on teaching employees to accomplish more with less steps. Ex. Appetizer plates would be brought out when the waiter / waitress first introduced themselves and took drink orders. Noone would be waiting on a plate after their appetizer is brought out. I’d post a now hiring add and keep resumes on a waiting list. If an employee rolled their eyes about the new changes, I’d call in their replacement and send them packing.

Someone else said they think the complainers are being petty and reminded us it’s not a 5-star eatery. Let’s see how you like finding hair in your food. Hairy food ain’t petty even if we’re talking about 1-star McDonalds doo doo mudslide blow out plastic injected chicken. My dogs eat better than the slop they tried to feed us today.
Hope this complaint reaches someone who cares. The bar seems to get better reviews than the grill. I’m sure it’s a better experience if you’re buzzed. You won’t notice any hairs or floaties that way! Drink up! Seems like y’all may need to change the name from Applebee’s Bar & Grill to just Applebee’s Bar. This place is on its way out.
