All good to Applebees standard. The ambiance, service and food were tasty and satisfying. Five stars. read more

I haven't been to an Applebees in more than 25 years. There's a reason why; the food is average at best, usually below average. It's your typical Americana restaurant with a decent menu to choose from, endless fountain drinks or tea, a bar with plenty to watch on the tvs, and you're going knowing what you're getting. We were in town for a funeral and wanted to get dinner with some family that also came into town. They quickly seated us, although we told them 13 and they gave us two booths. Once my brother and family arrived they did accommodate them with some small tables nearby. The service was the best part. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. A couple of orders were either incorrectly entered or not made correctly (chicken quesadillas were missing the chicken) but they were fast to apologize and adjust the bill. I ordered the 8oz sirloin which came with 2 sides. Broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was actually better than I expected. My son ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was severely lacking in bacon. The waitress brought back drinks regularly and overall it was a decent experience. There are somewhat limited choices in Alamogordo and this was not disappointing. read more

Stopped here on a road trip ambience typical fast, casual dining. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and thorough. The food was decent. No Michelin star but it got the job done although I doubt I'll be back to this location specifically, I will likely return to an Applebee's at some point in the near future. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

Bruh!! We came to enjoy a great time eating out and sadly we were extremely disappointed!!! We arrived and got seated around 6:10pm, had a selection to eat around 6:18pm, got passed by 2 waitresses 2 separate times, at 6:38pm we asked for assistance from the hostess to see if there was a waitress on duty in our area? She said yes I'll go ask, then went to the restroom and never returned to verify we would be expecting a server or anything. We sat down for almost 40 minutes wondering what we were supposed to do, we even wondered if we did something wrong to be neglected. I wondered if it was what we were wearing, or maybe if we smelled, or perhaps it was just the way I was looking but, my wife and son both confirmed we smelled great, looked great and were extremely pleasant. And so this is something that the staff and manager on duty truly need to be more mindful of customers needs in a customer first occupation. Do better Sunday evening staff!! On to Chilis we went!! Door opened for us by a grateful staff, got our drinks and appetizers within 6 min of arriving, food within 15 min. Perhaps some remedial training or shadowing might be best. Smh! read more

Cleanliness was okay, service was good! Food was okay :( this is my first food stop in this town willing to give them a second chance but wouldn't come here unless I had to. read more

This is our local Applebee's and we've gone on several occasions. Even when they're busy, the service has always been great and the the food come out quick and tasty! The bathrooms are cleaner than most other Applebee's that we've been to which is a plus. read more

The food was delicious, but the billing was a total ripoff! 2 for $25 HAS to be ordered all at once or no deal! Why our waiter didn't cancel out our appetizer to be part of the "deal" is beside me!! A $25 evening cost us $40+ I'm pissed!!! read more

Don't even bother stopping here, the service is terrible!! The Bartender staff acts as if she's doing you a favor. I sat at the bar for about five minutes before being approached only to be told to me and she standby. Proceeded to serve other people then begin cleaning all the countertops, picking up glasses and stuff, all the while I'm looking at her like...lady I'm right here. The bartender then proceeds to ask the patron if they need anything and an older couple who was also sitting at the bar tells her, "go ahead and serve him he's been here for a while" and she says I'll get him in a minute so I got up and left. I went next-door to Chili's was and I was greeted at door, and I placed my order with a bartender before I even sat down. That's how good their service was compared to Applebee's. Applebee's never again!! Especially when they are so many other options available. read more

Service 4/5 : the waiter was nice and we got caught up on the last dish to order for a while and he didn't push us at all. And actually recommended us the right amount of food. Ambiance: the place is spacious but crowded at Saturday night. Got seated. Instantly but waited like almost 20 mins for the waiter to get order, another 20 mins for the food. Food3/5: mvp is the bourbon chicken and shirmp. Very tender and not too heavy. The saucing for the food here are generally a bit heavy for me. But the flavor is okay. read more

It's an Applebee's, so nothing too unusual, ur consistent food, but gets an extra star because it's open late while other restaurants close early in this town. Be sure to ask for Cheyenne as a friendly local server. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

As there's no Applebees near where we live, so we always wanted to try one. Here we are in Alamogordo there's an Applebees. Food was much better than expected! My husband ordered 12 oz Ribeye which was excellent! Looked bigger than 12oz so I asked my husband to cut in the center to see how doneness was, and that was perfectly cooked and no much fat and delicious! I ordered Oriental Chicken Salad as many reviews said good. That was good, though menu didn't have choice of fried or grilled chicken so I got fried. On the menu, wine got prices but beer didn't. Isn't it funny? So I asked our server if all beer were same price, she said "I have no idea!" as she was 2nd day of training. When we were leaving manager lady (I assume) asked how the food was, and I said I wish you had grilled chicken for Oriental Chicken. She said "Oh we have grilled chicken." They need to work on their menu. read more

Yo. COVID has made things SUPER weird for businesses and being in public in general! Take this next scenario, for example. As I walk into the ever-so-humble and quaintly familiar domicile that is known as Applebee's, I am promptly grilled by the hostess for my name, phone number, email address, last time I traveled outside this state, whether or not I'm displaying flu-like symptoms, blood and urine samples. I made those last two things up, but it gives you some idea of the current state of things. Thing is...I can genuinely applaud this establishment for taking the proper precautions during these difficult and turbulent times and putting most people's mind at ease. I am also additionally pleased to report that I did not see any cases of customers sporting that ever-so-annoying "chin diaper". Yeah. You all know what I'm talking about. Look, if you've been to one Applebee's, you've been to them all. The food is almost always the same. The question is: how good was the service? Splendid. Ol' girl was on her game. I only wish she weren't wearing a mask (briefly) so I could see how pretty her smile must have been. But...no matter. I still left her a good tip. If only the food had been as stellar. I decided to give the bourbon street steak another chance. But since I knew this was a lower quality cut of steak, I decided to break personal protocol and ordered it mid-rare as opposed to my usual medium. Eh...I'm not sure these "chefs" know what mid-rare is. This thing came out looking (and tasting) more like medium. Which is not to say that it was totally inedible. But it WAS kinda chewy like beef jerky. If you ask me now, I couldn't tell you what I was even expecting. They do a different thing with sides now. They let you choose any two, apparently. I probably could have tried their mac n' cheese thing. But....then I came to my senses, remembered where I was eating, and stuck with the mashed potatoes. They were okay. At the end of the day, it's an Applebee's, ladies and gentlemen. Nothing worth writing home about. I don't think I've ever rated a single one of these places above 3 stars. So, that's where this one ranks as well. 3 cordial waitresses with pretty smiles hidden behind 'Rona masks out of 5. I should probably elevate my spontaneous dining out misadventures. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bourbon street steak - American Near Me - Alamogordo, New Mexico

Food was not good, 2 prders of the Rblets platter was served cold sent back and remade/reheated. The steak was subpar, lots of fatty inedible spots. This was our anniversary and while I didn't want to go to Applebee's we had a great experience the last 2 times, and had procrastinated reservations elsewhere. They did give a small discount, and tge assitant manager and server were great and tried to resolve the issues unfortunately it was just not cooked with care. read more

Terrible service. Had a reservation for 10 for mothers birthday. We showed up for reservation on time and were told they had no tables available even though we had a reservation and that they had no idea when a table would be available. They blamed another group for taking out table. Said the group had been there for fours hours already with no intentions of leaving soon. Seemed a little fishy since we observed them barely getting their food. Management seems to have a terrible problem. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

I tried the curb side pick up tonight for a stay in date night. I was so desperately disappointed!!!! We also bought a gallon of sweet tea and a gallon of lemonade, they apparently were out of the bags and chose to give us 4 large ICED sweet teas and 4 large ICED lemonades!!!!! That is absolutely ridiculous. My drinks are completely watered down and disgusting!!!! Why was I not called??? Consulted or at least given an option???? This service was a disgraceful and the food was okayish at most. I sadly will not be going back. read more

Singularly the worst meals we've had in a long time. Ordered the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp duo for $32. Three chicken strips covered in a sickly sweet sauce and an Alfredo sauce over noodles that was supposed to contain shrimp. None were found. The duo was a steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli - steak was dry and lukewarm while the potatoes and broccoli were cold. Noted to waiter about conditions and got 'Gee, I'm sorry' but nothing done. Manager was equally useless. Arrived home to nausea. Show less read more

Service was awful. 5 separate orders of wings were brought out mixed together leaving us all to separate the food ourselves to how we actually ordered. The manager brought the food himself and when we made him aware of the issue he made no effort to correct and was obviously uninterested in providing even somewhat decent service. Server was too busy hanging out with his friends at the bar to bother serving. read more

So we're fairly regular at this store in Alamogordo. A lot of the time, food and service is pretty good. But without fail, if C#*"e is the server, both are subpar. Today we showed up at 3:15. There were exactly 7 tables filled. Right off the bat we were greeted with attitude. "It's gonna be a while folks!" We were the only two at the bar. It took nearly 49 minutes to get our food, it was luke-warm and fries were limp-cold. Service was not good except for her friends, where she spent all of her time. Now I'm not blaming her fully. This is half a$$ management! Zero operational oversight. I was told by another server that they had been working 16 hours hours on Saturdays. Try Chili's or BBQ for better service. read more

I wish I could give negative stars. Absolutely shit service. There are several empty tables and we've waiting for 20 minutes. Piss poor management of a place. I hope that the overarching Applebees owners read this and wipe out whatever shit management is in place and brings in fresh people to overhaul this establishment. It's no wonder this town continues to be dead.. the same people running Applebees are probably running the town. read more

Tonight a 5 star..We had the 2 fer.. Friday evening with special friend, She loved her Asian Chicken Salad, I had the very delish Cheesburger with friens, Appitizer of the Spinach Cheese dip and chips. all for 25.75..This price included two non alcohol drinks. Servers very cool. She noticed we swere senior citizens, so she gave us a discount for being old as dust,lol. Cheeseburger had a very good smoky crispy texture and flavor, quite good and bigger than you might think,over 6' tall.Fries hot and crisp, good fun crowd, everyone seemed to enjoy ythe joint read more

Shout out to our server Jose for being super attentive being our server. Definitely makes the dining experience a lot more enjoyable when you have a great server. Jose made sure to touch all the tables around in our area including ours multiple times and made sure everyone was taken care of. My wife and I got the 4-cheese pasta with honey pepper chicken and it was pretty good. The honey pepper sauce was a little too sweet for me but the 4-cheese sauce tasted just right. Pasta was cooked al-dente the way pasta should be cooked. Overall not bad of a dish. For desert, we had the chocolate molten lava cake with vanilla ice-cream. Fire. Our server dressed it up to where it looked better than the menu picture. Definitely recommend applebees to change it to the way he made it. We came in at a somewhat busy time, wasn't too loud, and was able to have conversation without projecting as much. Tables/area were clean and tables were bussed shortly when guests cleared from the tables. read more

The best little cocktails and hoerderves, yummy food, they never disappoint. I would like more options in the soup department but not a deal breaker. read more

If I could give them less then one star I would. I ordered a corona margarita and they didn't have it, and that was no problem. Then, I ordered a jack and coke with lime instead and it came out flat. I tasted it to make sure but I knew because there were no bubbles at all. It was completely flat for sure. But I'm not that impatient, so I thought no biggie, I'll send it back and get another and let them know it's flat. Guess what another one came back exactly the same. I'm almost certain they gave me the same drink. Finally I ordered a lager because I knew it was good since my gf had one. For dinner I ordered the Parmesan steak and shrimp. After about an hour of hanging around waiting for the food. The steak came out with no shrimp and it was cold. They told me that the shrimp was out after cooking the meal. By now I've lost my patience. Between the horrible drinks the waisted time, and the entree being served poorly and missing ingredients I have decided I am never coming here again and I'd suggest never wasting your time here. The manager also doesn't care about the value of her customers experience and opinions of this location as you can tell by the average rating here. read more

We were passing through and had a late lunch. Hubby and I shared the grilled chicken with cheese and bacon. It was delicious! Perfectly seasoned. French fries were okay. Prompt service. Oh, side salad was huge! read more

I love the grilled chicken oriental salad. This salad didn't disappoint. It was delicious. I sat at the bar and the people were friendly and talkative. Many people were eating tacos and they said they were delicious. read more

It was empty so we were greeted and seated promptly. Everything started great with our server promptly taking our drink orders and bringing them quickly. Then it all fell off the rails. 20 minutes after our drinks were served, no refills. When we finally got our food, they brought it all out "family" style and so we had to divvy up whose wings were whose. Manager gave a slight attitude when asked for plates but no big deal.....still NO REFILLS! I was facing the other way at the table but one of my guys saw our server constantly hanging around the bar watching trivia since it was trivia night. I drink slow so by the most of our group had finally got refills but I had to flag down on of the other servers to get our server to get me a refill. We all only got two refills in the two hours we were there. Also, the wings were cold and dry but we had a long day so we just ate it with no complaints. Here's the icing on the cake. Our server never asked and just assumed we would be on one ticket so we asked him to separate it and one of my guys brought up military discount. He comes back with the tickets and say he can't give us military discount on separate tickets!!! Never in my entire military career have I been anywhere that will not put military discount or any other discount on separate tickets. I can't even remember the last time I haven't left a tip but that night was the most pitiful service I've had in years!! I remind you that this was a Tuesday night and very few people were there and our server only had two tables. We ate at the Applebees in El Paso a few days before and I can't count how many times our server was at our table refilling our drinks and asking us how we were doing. Basic stuff here folks. I hate not leaving a tip and it took everything in me to not do it but lying about the discount was crazy and I most likely would've left him 20% BEFORE the discount like I always do anyway. Sorry Alamogordo Applebees but you failed that particular night. read more

Normally a decent place to go for fresh steaks, everything else is frozen and put in a microwave. Ordered a steak a classic medium rare. Came back medium well. I returned it asking again for a medium rare. They brought me back the fattiest pice of steak they could find. They asked me to cut open the steak while they stood there watching, which they should have done the first time. I had to walk my first steak to the kitchen because no one checked on me. The second steak was better, closer to medium than medium rare. But I didn't want to sit around for round three and risk someone spit in my food. Of the 12oz. Steak I got, maybe 8oz. were not fat. read more

My visit started out ok until I got my steak and shrimp parm. Husbands food was fine. Mines looked over done and unappetizing. I ordered a med steak. My shrimp was also missing like why? but it was fine the waitress was super nice an had it redone. I get it back quick enough and cut it, now it's about to moo from being pretty raw. I was done then. She came and asked I told her I don't wanna send it back again I'll just take it home and finish cooking it‍ I've sent back a steak already( I don't like waste ) but this was 20 dollars! I was just like whatever. She left and sent over the manager he asked I told. He was really nice and said it was a new cook and wanted me to leave happy. He then made my steak himself and it came back perfect! They were super patient and understanding! read more

Good food. Good service. Clean bathroom. I would like my free drink when not asked to try a specialty drink tho

The food was not hot, the steak was dry and the service was almost non existent. The staff was very rude. The bartender was doing shots with the customers and even went out for a cigarette, came in a didn't wash her hands. We will never go back. read more

My wife and I just arrived in town and decided to eat at Applebee's. Our waitress was very nice but poorly trailed. We asked for a house wine and they were out. We asked for bread sticks with our salad they were out, the table next to us asked for boneless wings, they were out. If you plan on eating hear the food is good but plan on not getting everything on the menu. The Manager/Owner has no excuse for not paying attention to this other then they can charge the same amount for a entree with less food Suggestions bring your own bread, own boneless wings and your own wine read more

The food was very good. Waitstaff really nice. Especially when I discovered I had left behind a little purse with lots of money inside. It was still there the next morning and Jackie the manager a real sweetheart. Waitress Jen was amazing! read more

the southwest chipotle chicken bowl was delicious and the service was good. would recommend

This is (seriously) one of the BEST restaurants in Alamogordo & the only good restaurant that serves drinks too! For a chain restaurant this is unheard of, but Alamogordo is pretty small. I am gobsmacked that Chili's has a higher rating!!! I have been to this Chili's several times & even wrote a good review for them when I first got to town, and while my service (at the bar only) has always been pretty good-the food pales in comparison to Applebee's & it often smells of garbage in there-for some reason. Back to Applebee's-the service (again at the bar) is good with Abriana being OUTSTANDING! Always in a good mood, more than efficient-she truly shines & is exceptional at what she does. My drinks are spot on & she handles any request, no matter how big or small, with a genuine, dazzling smile. She makes you feel like a member of her family. I see this in all her interactions with other patrons. She also has lots of great food suggestions-she never steers me wrong. Cannot say enough good things about her. On to the food-brew pub pretzels are really good. As are the wonton tacos-I have never tried the chicken but the steak ones are SO good-I don't know what they marinate the steak in, but I could drink it. They are crunchy, crisp fried wonton shells so they tend to fall apart, but I don't mind because the flavor is so amazing-just have a fork ready! I also have also enjoyed the chips and salsa, the crispy brewhouse chicken (if you are in the mood for comfort food), the chicken fajita rollup, the all-in triple bacon burger, their fries (both regular & sweet potato-get a side of blue cheese with the regular or a side of the maple flavored cream cheese sauce with the sweet potato) & the butter pecan blondie. I am sure they have other great items, but this is what I have tried personally and liked. If you are in Alamogordo, do not wait as long as I did to give it a chance, because it is a chain. I regret it! read more

We were going to have dinner here and there was a 20 minute wait because it was Father's Day. That was understandable but then they said we would have to wait in our car and they would call us when they had a spot. Two things at this point is why we left. One was there is a waiting area but the seats were covered with their surpplies like napkin boxes and other things. Secindly was it was 104 degrees outside. We ate somewhere else. read more

Tonight we ordered from Applebee's and I drove off without my credit card.... Not good. When I got there I realized I didn't have enough to cover the meal. The server and I'm guessing a manager, offered to pay for the meal. I'm already a pretty regular to this place but this just shows great the crew is. read more
