Applebee's

WISH I COULD LEAVE 0 STARS. Around 15 minutes before I ever saw the hostess, then she sat 2 of the tables that were ahead of us over a period of time. A family stood up and mentioned that they were there before those 2 previous tables and the older lady who was the hostess proceeded to argue with them as they were on the way out the door. She has yet to take names or any info from the people that keep arriving including my family. Finally got seated and our waitress walks by saying that it will be a while she just got double sat. A short time later she takes our drink and app order. Followed by a wait while she disappears, finally comes to take our order and we add salads to my wife and my meals. Drinks and appetizers came out at a decent time, so I thought things were going to clear up... I was wrong. During the hour+ wait for our food I had to get up and walk to the bar to ask the bartender for refills of my family's sodas. The waitress then walks up and asks us if she has given us our check. I informed her that we haven't even gotten our food. She walks off and a different waitress finally brings us our food. At that point I asked her to remove the salads from our order because we had never received them the whole time, sad because my wife usually loves their salads.. My chicken was almost too crisp to eat but my family's food came out right. By this time I just wanted to feed my wife and children and get to leave. The waitress never refilled any of our drinks or even checked on us. Finally bringing us our check I paid with my card. She returned and asked me to sign it while hovering over my table. Very impolite and felt pressured on tipping. I usually tip well but not this time. Worst meal out with my family ever.

OK,I read all the most recent reviews..wanted to try it anyway..it was great!! Great food great service It seems that one employee was the problem Anyway the bacon whiskey burger was huge, Cooked perfectly onion soup not 5 star but excellent Loved it will return!! Returned a week later,had a different server..not quite as good..long wait but pleasant..food good but soup not as good today (different chef). Oh well still nice Casual atmosphere

We arrived when there was only two other couples in the restaurant, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. The food was good, but it too took a while to arrive. I do like this Applebees location, the local history and landmarks displayed make any visit a talking point about something. Other than the waiting time (for the amount of patrons), I have no complaints and I will be returning. I will update my review accordingly.

Based on previous visits, I was pleasantly surprised by Zoe (sp?) and how well mannered she was. Very nice young lady...she tried very hard and earned a nice tip. Now as for the blonde hostess...I assumed that we were in for another major disappointment eating here, she needs a major lesson in customer service, greetings and manners. Zoe actually recovered our visit nicely. Food was actually good also.

I hope they get more help. And note if coustomers want bbq sauce it dose not matter if it coast 55 cents. So I sent guy to microwave my stuff. By time I finished I noticed a black curly hair on my plate. Since they were short handed I didn't want to give the waiter a hard time. But yea won't eat there next time. I hope they get it together. And there dress decor for there waiters.
