This location is being renovated but still open to the public. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. We ordered chips and queso and both tasted old and stale. My salmon bowl was good just needed some dressing. I asked for some and that really improved the taste of the bowl. Somehow the waitress had mixed our receipt with another table but it was an easy fix. read more

We ordered the new OM-cheese and that was a disappointment. Literally NO CHEESE At all... You got like five people in the back, talking, not attending to the people.. like the waiters didn't care and on top of that. The parking lot didn't even have much cars and it wasn't even busy in the inside and they were still slow. None of the workers look like they wanted to be there. They didn't even seem happy. My drink was good though. This place has a very slow lack of professionalism. It's crazy to see the manger in the back and not once did she check in anyone she was just n the back with the cooks laughing and talking. They also need a deep clean behind the bar! The sink is so nasty and dirty! Please someone change the workers and clean the place up read more

Decide to go here on our way back to Raleigh and I wanted to try their OM cheeseburger witch is on their 2 for 25 menu. Separately this costs 14.99 do on the 2 for 25 we got two of these burgers and an order of mozzarella sticks. A much better value for the money. This burger was over the top delicious. Loads of molten cheese and dipping the perfectly cooked fries in the molten cheese was awesome. read more

Burlington, NC Applebees 7/1/2026 20 min wait to get a drink & place food order. There was a sign on wall advertising $1 Dollaritas. I ask if the advertised margarita came in flavors. Waitress said yes. I ordered 2, one for my guest. Then waited 15 min for drink followed by a 30 min wait for food to arrive. Ordered 2 more flavored margaritas. Finished dinner. Check arrived for over $70. Waitress admitted she did not tell us flavored margaritas were full price. Talked to manager, waitress was standing there & admitted that she had not said anything about the much higher cost of the drinks I ordered. Managers said "that's too bad". Did not even say he was sorry even though waitress took the blame. read more

Hellooooo Yelpers Y'all if you haven't been to "Apple Bee's is a while NOW is your chance to reconnect. This time of year they have several great salads, but my favorite is the grilled chicken strawberry salad with a strawberry vinaigrette dressing...WOW look at my pictures. Plenty of grilled chicken, red onions tomatoes strawberries and I sprinkle it with shaved almonds and cranberries. So good well worth a try, you will NOT be disappointed, pinky promise!! We ordered online, which was quick and easy, server came right out and greeted us, got our food and made sure everything was in the bag; even napkins and plastic utensils. Chicken was hot in temperature; which made it all the better. Yelpers start a spark at your neighborhood Apple B's. I know you hear those rib-lets calling your name ENJOY read more

If you know..you know! Just in case you don't, here it is...not one of my go to places, but decided to give it a go. I ordered the bourbon chicken and shrimp, it was good. The waitress was friendly. It was normal Applebee's normal atmosphere. read more

Love their bubon steak and onions. My new favorite dish. Employees are nice and atmosphere is nice.

What's the purpose of making an appointment to arrive 5 minutes early to still be told that I will have to wait 20 minutes to be seated when there was hardly any customers in the restaurant. read more

The 1 star is for the waitress that was super kind and sincere. Im enjoying my burger when i look down and see 2 black dots looking at me. I show my husband and he thinks its jalapenos from their new sauce. i take a fry and pull it out...a whole roach. Whole roach, dang near almost ate it. I didnt take any pics bc i was disgusted upset distracted by how the manager handled it. The manager comes over obviously intoxicated and tells me 'i am so sorry, we are spraying for those tomorrow' that is it. that is all he says. and offers to comp. my burger... i was in awe. never saw him again. my waiter had to go talk to him because she knew he should have covered everything, and she did. She was great. Everything else...just stay away from this location if you intend to dine in. read more

terrible service, waiting to be seated for a very long time, ended up leaving and going elsewhere to eat. Very poor customer service y'all

Two words for you before considering this restaurant: Food Poisoning! The only pictures I would post below would be of me puking in my toilet 8-10 times Tuesday night. So I phoned the manager and they said they would look into it. So far, nothing. We were a table of 5. The service was slow, the food was terrible, and the salmon / broccoli / potatoes made me deathly sick. Please, for the sake of your health, stay away from this restaurant. read more

The food was good but service was terrible. The older lady with dark hair at the hostess stand has an awful attitude and doesn't belong in the service industry. After we were sat, we waited 15 minutes before finally asking the manager to get someone to wait on us. No one had stoped to say anything. After ordering it took 20 min to get 2 beers, one draft and one bottle. The food was good but there service was slow and bad attitudes all the way around read more

We used to be a regular and it had been a long time since we actually came in to eat. But everything was good and we will be back. The ribs were amazing according to my husband read more

Good food, friendly staff, very clean and spacious seating, amazing food; definitely a great spot for a date night with my hubby.

Ordered from Doordash and let me tell you... I will never, ever place an order at this location again. The Chef KNEW what he was doing was 100% wrong. I am disgusted. I ordered 6oz top sirloin and broccoli. The 6oz sirloin on the menu is a BUTCHER'S CUT. Its a proper sirloin. What I got was a PIECE of a larger steak. Was it somebody's uneaten plate portion??!!! It looks like scrap for pigs! The Chef literally lopped the fatty end off a larger steak and served that shoe leather with ROTTEN BUG INFESTED BROCCOLI. This is how Applebee's treats DoorDash Customers! They'd NEVER pull this crap on dining room Customer. This garbage never should have left the kitchen. read more

Door dash delivery perfect. My bacon cheddar Chicken sandwich - POOR!!! - I ordered NO onion - had ONIONS! YUCK - lettuce was WHITE not green YUCK - tomato was thin and mushy - needs some type sauce, dry without it - over salted Won't order again - maybe will avoid sandwiches at Applebee's My wife's chicken dinner item was ok Blonde dessert - by itself the blonde was waaaay dry I'm sorry I had a bad dinner Applebee's. DoorDash ain't cheap. Disapponted read more

Eh.. haven't been to Applebee's in literally over ten years. This visit reminded me why there's no need for me to ever go back. I'm still mad I wasted the calories and money here! The food/drink gets 1 star. The $1 margarita gets 1 star but I did manage to finish it. The blue drink special was ok just super sweet and kinda weak. The employees at this location get 4 stars. They were all really nice but not nice enough for me to return. The chicken was super tough. The spinach artichoke dip tasted really processed. The whisky burger and fries looked good but the taste was below average. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service and I used to be a waitress and I understand how many things can happen in the kitchen, take our orders, etc. Where is the manager? Never there. Place is a joke. Waiters don't care. RUDE. Food is always always cold. read more

I'll keep this short but it has been a long time since I experienced racism. I am white and so are my family members that were with me tonight. However, we were seated and watched our black waitress serve 2 tables, and make 3 separate trips to one table (both having black guests at the tables). It took over 10 minutes to get acknowledged and with no apology for the time it took to greet us. She obviously ignored us for a reason, which seems pretty obvious. We were not rude to anyone upon our exit but we refuse to give our money to an establishment such as this. Applebee's corporate feel free to reach out. We will NEVER visit another Applebee's in North Carolina. read more

Excellent food but piss poor service. Waitresses will disappear and never show up until the check.

Yeah, it took about 1 minute to realize why we don't go to Applebee's. We were immediately greeted by a hostess/manager chewing out a waitress in the entry area. The waitress ended up being our waitress and was completely flustered the entire time. She couldn't pay attention to anything being said to her. Example, she asked me if I wanted lemon in my lemonade- (you can't make this stuff up) I ordered mozzarella sticks to play it safe. Honestly they weren't even as good as the frozen ones I buy from Walmart. Nobody enjoyed their food or the service or vibe. I wouldn't go again or recommend to anyone. read more

The lady (can't remember her name) but I think it was Amanda, was so helpful I had called in a order over the phone and when I arrived tonight they were busy but she was super nice, even gave me extra ranch!! Thank you!! read more

Service was very poor. When we were first greeted by the host he was very rude brought us to the table and then through our menus down on the table. My boyfriend ordered whiskey over ice it's not that hard to make,It was completely watered down. My mixed drink tasted like there was no alcohol in it. The buffalo chicken sandwich that my boyfriend ordered was supposed to have bacon on it like he requested but it didn't. And my order was ribs with mashed potatoes and you can tell that it was fresh out the microwave. Zero stars. Plus some of the customers at the bar were extremely rude. read more

My family and I came to applebee's for dinner after church. And we waited inside there for 10 minutes, so my wife proceeded to ask the bartender did they have a hostess, the bartender stated they did not but she would seat us in 5 minutes, so we waited and the bartender never returned . So we left and went to Longhorn steakhouse instead. Applebee's need some serious help.. I don't recommend this restaurant read more

I've been coming to this Applebee's for years but over the past 6 months the service has been horrible!!! I understand if some nights are busy but Jesus Christ it's been lIke that for a good while now ! For example today me and my wife went around 1120 ish and we literally stood at the front for 15 minutes waiting to be seated and not one freaking person even said anything to us . It was like as if we didn't even exist then right behind us was another couple waiting as well with no help in slight . (We ended up leaving ) read more

Trying Applebee's again for the first time in a long time. Service was great but food was all screwed up. Got the salads wrong,the entrees wrong,the broccoli was so salty you couldn't eat it.the steak was way overcooked and the garlic mashed potatoes had zero flavor. Will not come back and will never recommend anyone eat here. read more

So came here to get a burger. I will say it was a good burger and bartender was nice and attentive. Fries were standard. I could tell they actually make their burgers and don't just use frozen burgers. read more

I went to this restaurant a few days ago. The hostess was Melody. She was absolutely a a breath of fresh air. She was so pleasant and helpful. She walked us to our table and made us feel so welcome. She refilled our drinks, got our to go containers and even bagged them up for us. I will return just because of this outstanding service! read more

Stopped here with a group of friends on our way out of town for the weekend. Drinks at the bar were $1... One dollar... Bar tender was cool. Very friendly. Totally worth the stop. read more

First time coming to this Apple bees. Amazing service OUTSTANDING FOOD. Highly recommend for lunch!

We were dining at this Applebee's for lunch and one of the waitresses was wearing tights for leggings and you could see her butt threw them. It was so gross to see her walk by while we were eating. I understand that a lot of businesses are getting a little less formal with their uniforms, but this was unacceptable in a dining establishment. It also doesn't help that I have teenagers that had to see this. read more

Foods ok but the service is terrible . Nice people, but soooo slow and the food took forever and some of it never came at all . Sorry to be so negative read more

I love eating at Applebee's ... each one I go to has very great service and excellent food . But this one my mash potatoes were cold when they came out ... my salad had no dressing on it and my steak wasn't done it was almost rare and I asked for well done... also my waitress (forgot her name) took a very long time refilling my drink bringing my order out to me (so it was cold like it's been sitting for a while) and to give me change back. I always tip way over than I'm suppose to because of the service but tonight I tipped under because of how the waitress treated me. I feel sort of bad but also I got bad service. I will not be coming here again I rather drive a further distance than to come back here . Her service sucks. read more

Don't bother joining the waitlist online, the restaurant doesn't honor it and the wait time listed is wrong.

okay not excellent. Service was quick. Food was quick. Didn't realize we needed to order lettuce tomato mayo during order. It all worked out. read more

I went here and it was gross ! Never again only thing that was good were the wings the ribs were dry the mash potatoes tasted like pure ass and how the heck do your chicken look seasoned but taste like nothing if I could give no stars I would ! NEVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

Very friendly staff. Loved the waiter. Food was amazing. I highly recommend this Applebee's.

I have a nenewed enjoyment of Applebee's. Their menu has changed. The wait staff and managers are much more attentive and I love their under 550 calorie dishes. They have 5 to choose from. From sirloin to chicken to shrimp. Just the right amount without feeling too full. They have a new rosemary chicken pasta dish that Vickie adores. Kudos to Applebees for a change for the better! read more
