I get home, living 30 minutes away from this Applebees. I open the bags and I find everything except for my food. I’m bummed out because I worked all day without eating. I call Applebees and no answer. I call again 15 mins later and no answer. I call a 3rd time 15 minutes later and the girl says “we’re really busy so the manager will call you back later”. I gave her my contact info. Frustrated now.
A day goes by, no callback. I call and get no answer. Another day goes by and no callback. I call again and again no answer. I see I was emailed a survey invite so guess what I do, yea I filled out the dumb survey and it asks you if you want a call back. I obviously answer that with yes. 2 days go by before I get a call late at night from the survey when I’m unable to answer. Not a call from this store. Why buy dinner here when you don’t get your food? I just won’t be your customer again.
Though the did include all the items ordered, they did not include ketchup for fries and any cutlery (ordered).
Our to go order arrived home packaged well.
The breadstick was a bit hard and the French dip sandwich was too salty. The fries were okay, they did not travel as well as other places in similar proximity.
The Shirley temple had the right amount of cherries and the grilled chicken salad had the most delicious fresh ingredients.
The staff were friendly enough during pick up.
UPDATE on 7-6-2025 After leaving this review, Applebee’s main management did reach out and apologize. They said a manager from the Applebee’s I went to would reach out and send me a gift card to try to make the situation right. THAT NEVER HAPPENED!!! Never heard anything after the email they sent. I FEEL LIKE THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION HAS SOME REAL ISSUES. UPDATE 7-22-2025: So after my last update, a manager named Mike reached out to me to apologize for all the confusion. Said they had to fire a manager and that he would make things right. That his boss would reach out, and they would send me a gift card. GUESS WHAT!!!! STILL NOTHING. Mike gave me his number to check back in, and of course, nothing. I left a message and no call back. Don’t give this place a chance. It’s a problem after the problem.
No manager in sight, service was awful and the restaurant as a whole was a disaster. Dirty dishes everywhere. This location should be shut down immediately.
I’m usually pretty laid back, but our experience was just disappointing. We rolled in at 6:03 PM, party of four, and had to stand at the hostess stand for 12 whole minutes before anyone greeted us. The wait wasn’t the end of the world, but it set the tone for the rest of the night. We were told 15 minutes wait time, we were seated right on that time.
Here’s where it gets rough: our server didn’t come over for another 15 minutes. We ordered our food and drinks, and it took 13 minutes just for the drinks to arrive. No big deal, we thought, but no refills were offered until our food arrived. And boy, did the food take its sweet time – 47 minutes after ordering, the appetizers and meals(chicken wings and tenders) arrived at the same time except one of our meals took an extra 17 minutes to arrive (boneless wings with pickle fries), and by that time, the other food was ice cold.
The waitress was super friendly and did her best, but it was clear she was overwhelmed. When it was time to pay, I asked for the bill early, but it still took 16 minutes to process and get my card back – and they forgot to give us a copy of the receipt.
Maybe it was just an off night, but for a place that’s clearly capable of seating parties quickly, the service and timing were way off. Hopefully, they’ll work on getting their act together.
