The Server "Emma" was very rude.... Evidently we came at the end of her shift, so her entire focus was to get us out of the restaurant as soon as possible so that she wouldn't have to work over.... She didn't allow us time to enjoy our meal and she started clearing the table before we were finished! Because she hurried us through the meal, we had a considerable amount of food left over and needed take home boxes....so what did she bring us?? These small boxes that weren't nearly big enough for the leftovers!! When we asked for napkins, instead of bringing full sized napkins, she brought us small bar napkins!! Her heart wasn't in serving the customers, it was in serving herself! When we were done, I asked for a refill to go and she brought me a small to go cup and I said that I was not finished with my drink and asked if I could have a fresh drink to go so she poured one for me but then we she came back to the table she said "Well I'm off the clock so I need to go, so can you give your drink, so that I can leave?!? I can't remember a time when I've been treated as rudely at a restaurant as I was by Emma today!! I don't know if we will ever come back to this Applebees or any other one ever again!

Went tonight with 2 little ones and 3 adults. I didn't catch our servers name, she was blonde (Jade? Amber? Something?) I ordered an alcoholic drink & after 20 minutes I asked where it was. There were 2 other tables in the whole place and nobody at the bar. The dark haired bar tender was chatting it up with a customer at a table, so either my waitress didn't ring in the drink OR this lady just didn't care. Either way, my waitress didn't care to go check on my drink. I got the slushy and it was half ice chunks and watery. Anyway, back to the waitress. I ordered the fajita roll up that says it comes with chipotle ranch dipping sauce on the menu. No sauce came with it. I asked her and she literally dipped from the table and ignored me. Ok, that's fine. She came back with a water. Again, I tried to get her attention and she scurried away. Fine. The man at my table had to loudly say "MAAM" and she finally acknowledged me. She said it would be out in a minute. 23 minutes go by!!! Everyone else at my table is done eating. My food is cold. I can't microwave it because there's lettuce. She comes back WITH NO SAUCE!!!!! And I tell her just to get me a box, I'm not eating it any way. Absolutely Ridiculous. And a waste of money for having to beg my waitress to get what came with my dang item. read more

I'm visiting from the DC area. It was dead there on a Thursday night. Not sure if it's always like that. Service was good, and everything came out fast. The bartender was on top of refills and checking back up. Overall a good experience. Wonton tacos are always my fave. read more

took almost an hour to get my food, and they got the order wrong as well. Never going here again!

Pretzels were good, but the cheese... tasted like gravy, oily, pretty bad. When asked about it, i was told this is the recipe. Hmmm nope, awful taste. And the mustard had honey, not a good combination. Not recommending this place. read more

Used curb side pick up for the first time here and it was terrible, despite ordering early and scheduling the pickup we still had quite a wait. We were given two salads, missing dressing. The salads were pitifully small. I mean, I don't even think they could have been side salads. There was about 1/2 once of chicken on them and I think I got about a half of a strawberry. The lack of dressing also made them awful. Anyways, now we are home, we Finished our two bite salads that totaled near 30$, and we need to order from somewhere else. We don't usually like big portions at restaurants, we ordered salads with grilled chicken because we are both pretty healthy eaters, for us to say a salad is small, it was tiny! Absolutely not going there again. read more

This place is fucking ridiculous I've used them Maybe five times In the last month I've used deliver three times out of the five times and my drinks was left off every time something I've paid for every time 2.79 to be exact. Ordered last night and they forget my two Drinks and my brownie and Ice cream that I paid five dollars and something cent for I go Back in there to pick up My stuff and she act as if I was lying. She was rude places my bag in front of me and walked off no problem Boo I will Never never never eat at another Applebee's for A very long time with your none checking asses and to be exact y'all owe Me a blue ribbon ice cream read more

Want a steak? Don't go here then. You can order medium well, but you'll get RAW! The bartender never stays behind the bar, so don't expect quick service. The visits in the past didn't turn out too well either...my past favorites have been reduced down to a shell of their former self... Changing to 1 star. Because after 10 minutes, they brought the steak back cold and not cooked anymore at all. SHAME ON The KITCHEN CREW. read more

The service was excellent, the girl waiting on us was training and kept apologizing for being a little slow coming back to table but She really did great job. Food was awesome and the drinks, Bahama Mama, was very well made. read more

Absolutely the worst service! Spoke to the manager about the disrespectful bartender and he just had the deer in the headlights look with nothing to say. I then emailed corporate at the email on the receipt regarding my experience and did not even receive a reply back. Now you see why this place is empty all the time. read more

Recently, this store just remodeled/ updated and reopened after Hurricane Michael. I'm currently working near the Calloway Applebee s store and had a 50 gift card so I thought I would try out their Carside to Go. I signed in on their website. Picked a store. Ordered a couple of Triple Bacon Cheeseburgers and fries . The app lets you choose if you want your burger pink inside. Let's you choose all your condiments, or toppings. They all show how much extra calories per topping. Some will add a cost like extra cheese for example. It gave me a time on my iPhone for 12:30pm. I tell them my vehicle and color. It also lets me hit a "I'm Here " on the screen when you arrive. I pulled in their "to go " space and a girl came out and asked if I was Wayne. And then said our burgers would be right out. They were so good that we ordered the same thing the very next day using up the gift card. The trays were also rectangular and wash to Eat out of if your on the go go , I would do this again if I didn't have time to dine in read more

I just moved here recently I am in the Air Force. There are not many places to go around here. I come here a lot during the weekdays and get incredible service. I came here Saturday night and set at the bar because I've had a great service there since I have moved here. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry before I am here to tell you this girl needs to find another profession. Unless you guys are running a undercover escort service. She had a couple guy sitting there talking to them about getting up with them when she left. One of the guys handed her money and said you can make it up to me later. I was disgusted by what I saw. I didn't even wanna eat the rest of my food. She then decided to come over and start talking to me and decided to tell me your whole life story about her husband being abusive to her and her kids and how she's trying to get away from him. It was really unprofessional. I was having a rough day and we just wanted to come have a couple drinks and eat not to get more stressed out by someone else. When I did work in the restaurant industry I never told her my business to other people. I won't be back I will definitely go to beefs for now on read more

Awful service. Slow, slow, slow. The store was slow and our waitress stopped by about once every half hour. Ordered honey mustard and she said it would be out in a minute. 30 minutes later she stops by and asks where is my honey mustard "no one brought it to your table?" Apparently she felt it was someone else's responsibility to take care of her table. To top it all off, and to show what terrible waitress she was, we had a blonde dessert which comes with ice cream on it. She brought it out and the ice cream was completely melted, as in just a puddle of soup on the skillet. So clearly the dessert had been sitting for a while, and she was too stupid to ask for it to be remade. We didn't bother asking for the manager, we just wanted to get the hell out of there. That is our last visit to this Applebee's. Clearly the management sucks too because they allow the wait staff to suck so back. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Amazing! The bartender was super friendly and kind. Food was great too. Will definitely come again!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Wanted to have a nice date night with my husband. We ordered wings and wonton taco ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING !!! Our steaks overly cooked. Dry. No flavor what so ever. The only good about our visit was the server that's it ! We haven't been to Applebee's in awhile and now I remember why !‍ I knew we should have gone to chili's . read more

Supper Bowl party... everything's great except for ordering wings from Apple Bees. Order was not ready when scheduled. Got 40 wings and only 4 pieces of celery, really??? Will not order from them again. read more

Wont be back the staff disappeared no refills on food or drinks. Tye manager was watching the game and then took the kitchen staff and others out the tog door to have a smoke while we and several other tables waited for food. Not very appealing. Overheard d alot of other tables complaining about the same issues and the place was no where near busy. What a waste. Dont go here. read more

The Kids love to go to Applebee's because of Kayla H. we always have to sit in her section. She makes every visit eventful and fun for the girls. Kayla handles my picky eaters like a pro and the food always comes out just right. We look forward to getting back to see Kayla once this covid is gone. read more

It's Applebee's. Nice wait staff, clean location Food was just what I expected. I travel a lot for work and it's nice to have a chain you can count on for a quick decent dinner or lunch. read more

I am originally from Connecticut and stay far away from the Applebee's at home. Tonight, I had a great experience here! Our server, Christopher was very friendly and was happy to inform us of all the deals and specials! He gave us excellent service as well. We ended up ordering the 2 for 1 Beers, Appetizers & Entrees. We left happy, satisfied and full! read more

Slowest place in the state (probably not really, but I guarantee it's a front runner). Here for lunch and ordered our food when they came to get our drink order, 30 minutes later we asked about it the lady said they just had 30 people show up. We are sitting outside beside the door, I've seen 4 people walk in. Update-the manager "paid" for our lunch since it took so long, he/she didn't have to do that but it is good that they recognize there is a problem! read more

Applebee's used to be enjoyable. Now you go in, get seated by the host, wait 20 minuets for your waitress or waiter. Only to have them take your order and it be delivered 20 minuets later by a completely different person. You have to flag someone down to get a refill on your drink are even your check. My bill is usually tucked at the end of the table before I even cut into my food. With the kind words "No rush guys" but, my kids want dessert.... no need to tip, I have no clue who to actually tip, best service..is the electronic device on the table if you're lucky to have a charged one. read more

I do not recommend as a restaurant or means of employment. To keep it short, there is a systemic issue with this particular Applebee's. The management seems to be the root issue that leads to poor staffing. The attrition rate for the wait staff is ridiculously high. Any waiter/waitress worth their salt immediately recognizes the lack of control and respect the management has. It causes the kitchen to run slow and the orders to delayed or just outright wrong. This leads to the inevitable dissatisfaction of guest and poor tips and low return customer rate. The inability to retain quality staff perpetuates these issues by giving this location a terrible reputation with the locals. Sadly, a couple incompetent managers can ruin an entire restaurant. Structure, leadership and control are sorely missed attributes of this management team. Hopefully the owners care enough to restructure their store. read more

Walked from hotel to here. Have had good food at different locations. Food was good. Music was God awful country western. Another patron complained and was told wouldn't change it. I left very early, was planning on staying all evening and having a nice evening. Told bartender that music was terrible and was leaving because of it. She replied that their general manager refused to change the station when people complained. Talk about a poor business decision. Putting your personal music preferences above those of the paying customers. read more

I can say I have been here quite a few times and it just gets worse and worse. The food is pretty bland and just taste like reheated frozen food, while the staff or the cooks seem to always get an order wrong. As far as the management is concerned they are usually a joke and can't fix problems, there are much better places to go read more

Worst apple bees I've ever beeen to it was FREEEZING LIKE ANTARCTICA undercooked cheeseburger over cooked steak still cold at this point asked to go outside they said they didn't have enough manpower to have the outside open and we froze in silence a mind game of chills and shivering. read more

Good food, but somewhat slow service. We've had our ups and downs with the service at this place, but the food is usually good. One thing I'd like to add is that I don't think Applebee's is the place for karaoke. My husband and I went in here on a Saturday night recently and they were doing karaoke very loudly. People were drunk around the bar. It gave the feeling of a trashy bar instead of a restaurant. If I'm going to pay for my meal, I'd prefer not to have to listen to drunk people loudly howl into a microphone, while I'm eating. I don't care if it was 10pm. read more

I went there for dinner and got served a gray steak... do I need to say more?

Trash trash dirty every table was dirty when coming In. Y'all need to step y'all game up in Callaway

This Applebee's has progressively gotten worse over the years. Service is awful 3 out of 4 times, food is almost always bland and/or burnt! DO NOT GO THERE read more

I would highly encourage for everyone not to come here. This has by far been the worst service and food I have had in visiting several different Applebee's. There were maybe 12 people in the restaurant for lunch and it took over 40 minutes to get our food. The wait was completely not worth it, my fiesta Lime chicken was charred on the bottom and I ended up peeling the whole bottom off so I could eat it. My brother's quesadilla burger was burnt on both the top and bottom as well. I ended up taking to the manager and she didn't see anything wrong with my charred meat that i peeled off, she only told me I hope I have a better experience next time. I would highly encourage all to avoid this location and to go to any other location, I promise you you'll get a much better chain experience elsewhere. read more

This is probably one of the worst places I have ever been to. The general manager was completely rude for absolutely no reason she continued to glare at my table until we left, my friends steak was rotten someone next to our table had the same problem, my margarita was watered down, my cheese burger was completely burnt along with my cheese (you couldn't even tell the difference between the burger and cheese), we continuously asked for different things like ranch or whatever else and it was never brought to us. read more

Visited Applebee's on a Friday, after the lunch rush @ 2:00pm. There were 13 customers in the restaurant and 4 employees working outside the kitchen. We waited for 5-7 mins before the waitress took out drink/appetizer order. It took another 20 mins for our food to come out of the kitchen. In the meantime she chatted with her friends at the bar while our drinks ran empty. The food was tasty and hot when it came to the table, but our waitress was more interested in her friends than working all her tables. read more

2 days ago, my very good friend, a senior care-giver, and her elderly client were having lunch at our Callaway, FL Applebee's. Another elderly couple were seated at a table in close proximity, with the woman in a wheelchair. At some point during their meal, the woman became ill and vomited on herself. Instead of receiving any assistance or help from a server named "Lucy"(?), that poor couple was treated HORRIBLY!!! The man was told to get her out of there -- right now -- and 'you people' from next door aren't supposed to come in here. What's next door? A nursing home. Is that where they came from? No. They were just an elderly couple having lunch. As the man was leaving with the woman in her wheelchair, he expressed his feelings in a non-vulger way about their treatment, loudly enough so many of the other customers could hear. Good for him!!!!!! Whatever happened to "good" customer service? Whatever happened to treating patrons of your business decently, at the least? Treating them with respect and kindness? This "server" obviously knows nothing about any of that, or was never trained properly. Too bad for you because THAT'S what keeps customers coming back. The way this employee handled the situation was totally appalling!!!! I, myself, have a history of working in the customer service industry, as well as other members of my family. That poor couple!! My heart and 'well wishes' go out to them. They were most definitely DISCRIMINATED against. They did NOTHING wrong, except choose to eat at our friendly neighborhood grill & bar... yeah, I noticed "friendly" isn't even part of your logo anymore. I won't be recommending your restaurant as a good place to eat. Way to go, Applebee's. My home state has a logo, too, with 2 words. One of them is "nice". read more

This place is absolutely terrible. When the food is good, the service sucks. When the service is decent, the food sucks. Waited 45 minutes for a lukewarm sandwich. Waitress was good tonight, but I have yet to have an overall good experience here. If you want Applebee's then go to the 23rd street location, it's worth the drive. read more

Good OK. Went there at 2:00 PM. The employee working at the Bar was yelling. Have not gone back since and never will. More then one year ago. read more
