I visited Applebee’s in Edwardsville/Glen Carbon, Illinois, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing.
My meal was going well until a party was seated behind us and lowered the window shade completely, which blocked the natural light at our table. I politely asked if the shade could be kept halfway down instead of all the way. One of the individuals, a male, said the sun was in his face, which I acknowledged, but I still suggested a reasonable compromise.
Instead of responding respectfully, he called me out of my name and I retorted with a similar response. At that point, I told him that if the sun was that much of a problem, they could consider moving to another table. The waitress finally stepped in and suggested the party move.
What made the situation worse was the complete lack of management involvement. No one came over to check on the situation or ask if everything was okay. Later, the manager came through and lowered all of the shades, stating the sun was bothering someone. The way it was handled felt dismissive and disrespectful, especially after one of their guests had already spoken to us in such an inappropriate way.
A brief check-in from management or an effort to address the behavior would have gone a long way toward maintaining a respectful dining environment. Instead, it felt like the rude behavior from another guest was indirectly validated.
I typically don’t leave negative reviews because I understand that restaurants are busy environments and situations can happen. However, this was a situation where a simple moment of management awareness and professionalism could have prevented the experience from escalating. It may also be worth additional training for management on how to handle guest conflicts in a neutral way that does not appear biased, particularly toward the party that experienced the disrespectful behavior.
What started as a perfectly fine meal ultimately turned into a very negative and uncomfortable experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future guests at Applebee’s in Edwardsville/Glen Carbon have a better experience.

Ordered the double glazed baby back ribs and bourbon street chicken and shrimp both were cooked to perfection with the right amount of tenderness. Shrimp was a little too salty and ribs did not have as much meat as expected but were still very delicious. Especially the ribs that were devoured in 4 minutes. Good service too the waitress was very attentive.

I stopped by Applebee’s for a cocktail. I tried their featured holiday drink. I was fun, festive, and had a decent amount of alcohol. The price was reasonable.
I recommend these drinks. Please drink responsibly.
The booth I was sitting in was worn out and uncomfortable. The carpets could use a good shampoo. The waiter was friendly and efficient.
I have dined here in the past and the food was tasty.
The restaurant is child friendly, wheelchair accessible and has plenty of free parking.
I recommend this restaurant.

Our server was upbeat and friendly. Restaurant was clean, and well-lit. Ample parking lot space right off the main road in Glen Carbon. Menus were clean, colorful and easy to read.
We had the 2 for $25 deal, our appetizer was a salad each, and we tried the O-M-Cheeze burgers. I chose no spicy mustard or bacon on my burger. They both came to the table sizzling hot. We were very pleased with our meal.

SUPER small portions for car side to go for the same price as the in-store eating. Ridiculous. This is a “FULL” sized salad.

We went to this location on 03/03/2026.
We had a club house grill with fries, And a quesadilla burger with fries.
The quesadilla burger and fries were so salty that I couldn’t eat it. I managed to force down some of the burger because I was starving. But had to quit. So I tried the fries, wow! The same for both orders of fries, extremely salty just lime the burger. My wife had the clubhouse grill she said it was salty but not like the burger or fries.
We left almost all the fries and a large portion of the burger.
I won’t be back at this location.

The food was good. We had salmon mashed potatoes and broccoli.
My Wife ordered a blue Hawaiian Long Island iced tea which should’ve got her feeling very good then she ordered a margarita. Between the two drinks, she did not get a buzz at all and she is a small woman which doesn’t drink much. She should have been feeling very good by this time so that was disappointing that the drinks were so weak.
I appreciate your concern over my review. I won’t be copying and pasting the link for any future conversation between us. I’m not looking for anything. I just wanted to give an honest review. Thanks for your time.

I really like the food and the prices, but I can’t deal with the staff anymore. The last time I came in, 2 hostesses ignored my fiancee and I for about 2 minutes and actually had an argument over who was going to seat us. I couldn’t really ascertain as to why this may be between their giggles other than “it’s so scary”. Our server did a decent job, but I also watched all the servers gather at the bar and loudly discuss (we were sitting by the windows btw) their tips, customers, and how much they don’t like their job. I get it, times are tough and my job sucks too. However, I’m not going to continue to spend my hard earned money at a place that clearly doesn’t care about my business.

Server was nice, however food was terrible.
Steak over cooked no flavor, chicken strips and onion rings- dark brown left in fryer to long, asked for no tomatoes on salad- it had tomatoes, larg climbs of lettuce in salad also. When I spoke to manager, her response was did you tell your server, did you pick your tomatoes off. First of all where is “I’m sorry let me see how I can fix this. Where is customer service. I usually don’t complain but I guess I will start

I stopped in for a quick bite after a difficult day and encountered the kindest waitress. Her name was Chloe. She greeted everyone with a smile and was attentive to all her tables. What a gem of an employee!! I truly hope the management realizes what a great employee they have. The meal came out quickly and was delicious. A wonderful experience tonight and I will definitely be back!!
