Great service
December 8, 2023

I stopped in after work, because I didn't feel like cooking for myself. I had Nacoshia as a waitress. She was really nice and on top of refilling my drink. The app was really tasty. My 3 cheese pasta was nice and hot

Not what I expected
November 19, 2023

My husband and I went to a Applebee's and Riverdale in Utah last night, we set up to the bar and ordered our food. Our food was delivered. 15 minutes later, but my husband's steak was a little the potatoes were cold and the broccoli was cold, and had no seasoning. My combo platter nothing was warm. My cheese sticks were hard and my honey buffalo wings were cold and hard. Not what I was expecting not for the price. I'd rather have a big Mac from McDonald's than what we ate. My husband would not let me send it back, he did not eat his potatoes or broccoli and only had a couple of bites of steak. So disappointed.

Oriental chicken salad
November 3, 2023
Updated review

Once again I thought I'd give you guys another chance and we'll to my surprise it's just as bad as the last 3 times. So this will be the last for me. "All Carrots and your Oriental straws and NO Freaking Lettuce again" as far as sending a picture WHY? It certainly doesn't do any good.
I can understand why you are closing down around this country. It's a Shame

No Lettuce
November 30, 2022
Previous review

I get the Oriental Grilled Chicken Salad
And there is no Lettuce in it. This is the 3rd time now and the help just says "well that's the way it is " Seriously that's the way it is...
All I can say is goodbye Applebee's. I'm done with ya. So ridiculous

So my coworker told me that she signed up for the Applebee's rewards and was supposed to get an email for a free appetizer on her next order. She never got the email. She called the location where she had scanned the QR code. They told her to sign up again. I also signed up as an experiment to see if I got the email with the coupon and I was going to forward it to her. I don't eat your restaurants anymore, too salty. Well I took never got the email. I never even got a welcome to the program email, nor do I get any emails from you. It doesn't matter to me as this was an experiment, but to those you like your restaurants and want rewards this sucks. Fix your program or don't offer it.

Discriminating
October 29, 2023

Went into the establishment and was profiled based on a specific stereotype. I was not served properly and I feel as if i was being discriminated against at Applebees in Brandon Florida. I am a loyal customer who eat at the restaurant multiple times a week… Not to mention most the time the food is undercooked or it's placed together in a messy way. But I will not be discriminated against based on the color of my skin. The manager assumed that I will engage in illegal activities because previous customers that were African American decided to break the law. Not to mention I do have voice audio of such incident of the manager verbally admitting to the reading g for my actions. This is to protect myself as a law abiding citizen!

Great server tonight
October 16, 2023

Our family of 4 tonight, greatgrand ma, from Atlanta, grandma, from frisco, son from Detroit, and his daughter, had a very relaxing evening together tonight at applebees in frisco. Our meals and drinks were fine and the young african american male who was our primary server, and all the staff who served us, were extraordinarily kind and went out of way to ensure we received good service, although the restaruant was short on staff tonight. God willing, we will go back there soon. Very relaxing friendly atmosphere. Sorry I forgot individual's names. But i definetly reccommend this place for great family environment, with multiple t v screens with various sporting entertainments..

Job Opening for Carside
October 11, 2023

A job opening came up on Indeed for Car Side making $18.00 - $22.00 an hour. I went to my interview which I was 15 mins early. I got seated by the Hostess. One gal that works their came out of the back, looked at me, went back behind the wall and said, "Car Side!" and started laughing really loud. Here came the hiring manager. Introduced herself. Really nice till she started asking me questions. The one question was, "What are you looking for in wages?". Stopped and looked at her and said, "Indeed said $18.00 - $22.00 an hour!". She told me, "Not to go off Indeed because they blow things up!". She said, My employees make $10.10 an hour plus tips which is minimum wage!". She asked me,
" Did you want to go any further?". I told her, "No, that won't pay the bills!" Interesting point, Applebee's put that out their on Indeed. I have proof! Don't go to Auburn Hills Applebee's for job. What a slap in the face on wages...

Two days ago my wife decided to order take out from Applies on Ecorse in Taylor, Michigan. She ordered a 6oz sirlion steak and waffles fries and I orderd a 8 oz sirlion steak, green beans and fries. She picked her order and drove home. I looked and both steaks and didn't even come close to the pictures on the on-line menu. Both steaks were on the tough side. We have gotten better steaks and Pondarosa just a few blocks from the house. Plus I did not get my french fries but the green beans were fantastic, just like my mother made. There was no salad dressing either. She called Applebees about the missing fries. She got an apolagy and was told to come back and get the fries. I thought not to drive all the way back just for the fries but if she did to go to the McDonalds which it right next door to Applee's and they have much better frieds anyway. Needless we will never go to Applee's again. I just wish neighborhood Pondarosa didn't close. We went there quite often.
