“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in…”
I will start with that quote. I didn’t want to give another bad review of food places here, but this location asked for it. My beautiful Wife and I decided to go to applebees and use a BOGO coupon. Here we go. First the place has gone to crap in looks and quality. This location lately has had a horrible smell of sewage or lack of cleaning in the restrooms. I’ve smelled truck stops better that this. To start my wife ordered a white wine, her glass was dirty. We ordered wings (which in the past were better than other wing places.) I ordered them extra extra extra crispy (like we like them), well they came back soggy and raw, blood dripping after taking a bite. Also ordered a bacon cheeseburger with smokehouse sauce or something like that, well as the burger shows, hardly any sauce in it. I asked for mayo, and they brought out smears of mayo. The response was, “that’s how they do it”. I asked for another mayo, they brought out another “that’s how they do it”. Horrible service and food, dirty glass, smelled like we were eating in a port-a-john.
There was a manager walking around asking other tables if everything was OK. We were avoided the whole time, for the price we paid, even with a BOGO deal, we should have gotten more than we did.
It is unfortunate, because we really liked applebees, maybe a management issue, or probably crew just doesn’t give a crap. (no pun intended).
Would be nice if this place straightened out, because there is a real lack of restaurants in Palestine. Well that’s all I gotta say about that.
Revised:
Well after a few discussions, we made it back to Applebee’s Palestine. I will have to be very honest…The food and service was 11/10. We were very pleased with the service Vanessa provided and the food was a 10. We tried to go back over this past weekend, but Vanessa was not there, we were told. We will be going back and try those wings again…I’ll cross my fingers. Overall, my Beautiful Wife and I were happy customers again. Keep up the good service and food quality.

It’s always something, every time we go, there is always a problem. Whether there is no a/c, no servers, bad servers, food was wrong or cold. We haven’t eaten there in almost a year and we decided to order online. My husband was going to use the ‘grab n go’ and they told him they won’t go out after dark. So he needed to wait inside (understandable), but now its been an hour since we ordered and still haven’t gotten our food. They are busy and only have 2 servers. (I suppose they are short staffed in the back as well.) I was hoping to have a better experience this time since its been so long and we have heard better things. Most likely will cancel our order if its not ready soon and they haven’t updated us. If the food comes out fresh then I will revise this post, but I doubt it.

⭐️ 1 Star (only because I’m required to give one)
A group of us went to Applebee’s after work last night and arrived at 10:45 PM, well before their posted closing time of 12:00 AM. We stood at the front for about 10 minutes waiting to be seated, with no acknowledgment at all.
Eventually, the manager told us they had “run out of food” and still had several to-go orders to complete, and essentially refused to serve us. The interaction was rude and dismissive, with no attempt to be accommodating or apologetic. It made us wonder if we were treated differently because we work across the street at Jalapeño’s Tree — regardless, that should never affect customer service.
On top of that, the restaurant itself was run down and dirty, which only added to the bad experience. Overall, the lack of professionalism, poor management, and unwelcoming attitude were disappointing. After reading through the many other 1-star reviews, it’s clear this is an ongoing issue.
I will not be returning, and ownership seriously needs to reconsider management.

Did curbside to go they were late, ordered two fries they gave us two containers but not enough fries for one order, ordered a full rack of ribs gave half, but broke it in two. Then while going in to get it because they were unable to go out they made an assumption that it was our order based on skin color. All ready followed the link that they will give for leaving a poor review and no response.

I was at apple bees around noon on 02/08/2026 waiting in the parking lot for a friend to arrive. What I witnessed was absolutely absurd. My windows were down as I was enjoying the weather and I observed 3 employees walking to converse. As my windows were down I couldn’t help but to listen as the short Hispanic lady with black hair started screaming and threatening the other two employees! From what I gathered she was the manager and the way she was speaking was not only belligerent but disgusting. She was threatening to physically assault the white lady even screaming at the the other black lady! Her profanity and violence in how she spoke made me leave the Applebees and me and my friend ate else where! I would never support a restaurant that allows their management to treat employees like that.

Arrived about 1040pm. Waited 10 minutes for anyone to come out of the back. Bar was covered in unwashed glasses. Bartender came out at 1050 and called last call said the bar was closing at 11 pm because she was tired. Note restaurant is open until 12. They used to have good service there.

Excellent service. They were understaffed but handled it very professionally and provided outstanding service. I hadn’t been to an Applebee’s in probably 6 years but they are still incredible and a good value. This one is not local to me but I’d definitely go to another one!

Our service was amazing! Christon was our server and she provided the best service. We were a group of 10 with four kids under the age of six. She was absolutely fantastic. The Grinch was there and provided lots of entertainment for our kiddo’s

In from out of town today and stopped in here for a brew, horrible service. When you’re the only person at the bar you should never have to wait on a beer. Was gonna eat too but honestly I’m not spending my money at a place like this. Literally the worst Applebees I’ve ever been to.
