My mom religiously orders the French onion soup and ceasar salad-and she is 92, so that's a lot of repeat orders!

Went to Applebees for lunch and really enjoyed ourselves. The 2 for 25 was awesome we got the onion rings and the cheese burger grilled cheese. Oh my gosh the burger was to die for. They cooked it perfectly and the onion rings were excellent. We got the food and drinks quickly and our server was really nice. We did have to wait a little for a table but that wasn't a problem. We'll be returning again soon. read more

Exceptional service. My husband and I ordered the 8 ounce sirloin with broccoli and mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad and we split the meal. The steak was cooked just right and very flavorful. The rest of the meal was very good. read more

Service sucked! It was early and not busy and it took forever to get our food and waited for waitress to notice us waving her down

Our server was great and the food was just as good! Love the environment of Applebees, the low lighting is relaxing. read more

Food was good. Temp of food was good. Server was friendly and helpful. It was a much better experience than previous visits. They seem to be headed in the right direction. read more

Beautiful place, absolutely astounding, sexy place with great food and service, recomended

Finally the food surpassed my expectations. Quesadilla burger, steak and a few apps for the win.

imagine getting your food before your drink after telling them twice. my whole party got their stuff before I could get mine

Had a great experience with 3 of my buddies. One of which was very dead set on NOT going to Applebee's. We had an incredible server (shoutout to my guy Nicklas!!) who helped in making my friend glad he caved. He was an incredible server and even started making jokes and adding to our conversation. A great experience for me and my friends. Give this man a raise! He's training employees and providing a 10/10 experience. read more

Yes, I do see this place has so many negative reviews with few stars. I've dined at this location several times and it was not perfect each time BUT this time I'm giving them shiny five stars solely because the top notch service I received from a great server! One Friday evening. I rushed in for 1/2 off appetizers happy hour (it ends at 6) with a friend. No wait. Yay! We ordered the happy hour appetizer and an appetizer. Our server I think his name is Cory was perfect from the beginning to the end. He is so kind, polite, courteous and attentive. He checked in on us often before and after we got food. I ordered a steak and I was especially impressed that he asked me if I needed any steak sauce BEFORE the food arrived. Most people ask me about condiments after the food is served. I think he asked me when he did so I didn't have to wait for it once the steak is on the table. Fabulous! Busy Friday night, but a kind service with a smile. Thanks to him we had a great time and I'm sure I'll be back hopefully he takes care of my table again ! read more

Brooke Perryman's service here was awesome! She was very attentive, but not pushing. Very sweet and friendly!

I only gave two stars because the sweet girl at the bar was awesome I ordered the double cheeseburger and I added a dollar for the boneless wings the wings were awesome when my double cheeseburger came it also looked like they took one patty splitted in half and made two out of it it didn't know where near cover the bread and it was cold sent it back this is my very first bad experience with Applebee's when the manager seen it she says that that's how it's supposed to be with that special you're supposed to get a child's Burger I seen nowhere in advertisement where it said that read more

I haven't been to an applebees in a long time. There aren't that many around anymore. This one reminds you why that's true. It's dated, it's dirty, and the servers just don't seem to care that much. Unfortunately I really like the quesadilla burger they're so there is that chance I'll be back since I don't know of any other Applebee's and maybe if they're still there in a couple years I'll get the urge and go again. read more

waited for well over 20 minutes while 3 different employees walked by us without any form of communication about why they were not seating us. they didn't even acknowledge us to tell us why we were not being seated read more

(Really 3.75) During the pandemic you need to be cognizant of the struggles and roll with it. Not ready for exposure those not wearing masks so opted for the to-go order. I checked out the Oriental chicken wrap with fries which was very tasty. My fries were cold but obviously that comes with the to-go order, fries are not made to travel. The wrap was very good with plenty of chicken inside with chopped veggies (Asian Slaw). Most complaints I have about a wrap is the over excess of veggies and a tiny piece of chicken. This was adequately distributed and I'd definitely get that again. read more

Big shout out to Eli tonight he was great the food was awesome he was a sweetheart and guided us through the menu very well !

I'm only giving a review because I want to shout out the waiter Joseph. My husband and I went to this Applebee's for New Year's Eve dinner and the food was good and we got some drinks which were also good, but Joseph was so fun and kind to us! He made our very casual Applebee's dinner so so much fun. I hope someone on staff sees this review and let's Joseph know that he is getting some high praise. Our hostess that seated us (I didn't get her name ) was also very kind and welcoming. She had short, dark hair and was wearing a red face mask with gold polka dots I believe. The people in front of us were very rude to her but she handled it with such grace and patience. Hopefully she sees this too and knows who she is! read more

Best back rips and steak we had ever tried. The meat was very tender and juicy. Our server was amazing and really quick even when the restaurant was a little busy. Our drinks were AMAZING!!! read more

The smell of mildew in the carpet is too much. Also, I understand being understaffed, but my son and I came in literally at 11:15 am, there were maybe 7 people total in the entire restaurant, yet we stood there for a solid 10 minutes, with not one person acknowledging us, I take that back, they did look at us, then went right back to doing what they were doing, no one ever said we'll be with you in just a minute or anything else, between the smell of the place and the lack of acknowledgment it was our first and only time there and we will never go back. read more

Very disappointing location The waiter/ waitress's Walked around singing /talking / flirting / giggling with each other . My husband Ordered the endless mix three . It took Like ten minutes. To get the waiter. To tell him. He Would like more Shrimp and fries And He tried to walk away without listening then . 20 mins later They brought out six shrimp . We ask for our check. He brought. It and walked away . We. Was looking. For where to pay a was told we pay the waiter that had walked away . And. They. Took. Card and walked to the back with it . I don't guess anyone told. Them that's not legal in tenn for a long time now . We won't go back . read more

Have been here before, better results than today. Tonight, while trying to get in- several guys hanging around outside the door, had to navigate them just to get in the door. The food was hot, had a good taste but the presentation was not the best. Inside the restaurant was a buzz if activity with no real attention to the guest. Everyone likes to be in close out mode and ready to call it a day. The drink had an off putting taste and definitely not what I was expecting. I had a discount (10% off) from the hotel I was staying at and when I mentioned this to the server the quick reply was- oh sure - let me get that for you. Well, he took .35 cents off- about 2%?! Not sure what was going on here, but this place us d to have. Whole lot better service than this. read more

I got the blackened Salmon with vegetables when it came to the table it looks delicious. When I got to the thick part of the salmon was still raw. I will not be going back to to Applebee's. read more

Very friendly staff. Bartender offered me a shake that a lady accidentally ordered. I've been here several times. Their onion ring tower is delicious. You need to get it with the campfire sauce read more

Awful. Don't bother even walking in the door. I do a better job at home. And my place is clean!

Just ordered Doordash from here. Paid 13$ for chicken and rice and they only gave me chicken. No sides. 13$ for just a piece of chicken? Awful. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. They just run out popular items alot. But service wise and cleanliness wise this place is always great. read more

Total shit show. Never received silverware, straws, ordered two appetizers, one came cold, on a dirty plate with ranch, not extra blue as ordered. Second app came 10 minutes later cold mozzarella sticks . Every table around us is filthy and the hostess is leaning .. not doing a thing. Occupied tables around us all have complained about service, wrong meals and then a random guy walking around trying to find where 5 boneless wings belong. He actually set them in front of a guy at one table when they belonged to the next booth and then after he realized it several minutes later went and removed them from one table, and walked them to the correct table. After they had sat in front of another customer. Our table is sticky , menus stuck together ..plates dirty. All the while the manager looking unprofessional and dirty in a hoodie and leggings , holding her cell phone walks by all unhappy customers and dirty tables over and over. I'm guessing the kitchen is just as much of a HOT mess - I'm kind of glad I didn't see it. My prediction is this place will be doors shut soon if management doesn't step up and lead a good team. I would like to add that Dustin , the evening manager took full responsibility for the mess, and took about half of our bill. He came on the scene late but seems to be pulling it together with a great attitude . read more

This place sucks I ain't never been so irritated with my food and the workers got the nerve to be rude. I believe you chose to work there quit if you don't want to do your job. This place used to be great but it had gone to hell In a hand basket. read more

Update 22-Dec 2015. Replied as requested via Katie B. comment to call Guest Services phone number. My experience with that was no better than my in restaurant experience. Anyway I've wasted all the energy that I intend to on Applebee's. There's someone missing in the neighborhood; it's me. There are plenty of other places to dine; I'll be at one of those. read more

I would give them zero stars if I could. The first time there was great, served alcohol with no issue. The second time my waitress refused to serve me alcohol because my ID has a red line around the picture even though my ID is valid and I'm very well old enough to be served alcohol. Third time I was hoping for an optimistic bartender but nope. The bartender told me Applebee's has a new policy about IDs. My ID expires soon anyway but we will not be visiting this Applebee's anymore. read more

This place is so slow. The waitress are not cleaning the guy at the post just stands there ,he could clean .but no and not the same as before. Where is the manager. So sad our waiter was great. Food was good just was disappointment in the guy who signs you in. The restaurant was getting half fill and we was still waiting .and he had saggy pants on why do they let tha t happen ,shouldnt they be neat. Really disappointed in Applebees. Don't plan on going back. read more

This is probably the worst service we've had at this restaurant. They didn't do the napkin/coasters under our drink. They brought us cold mozzarella sticks (they had been cooked for a hot minute). And we didn't get napkins till we were done with our cold appetizer. Thank god the food was hot. read more

Yesterday evening I came here, ordered a steak , and this is what I got. The PAPER was still on it!!! That's disgusting ‍ I was then told this was not the only time that this has happened this week I gladly got my refund by the manager who could only say "sorry". Will never be back ! UPDATE: 4 hours later. We posted this on Facebook. And the manager (or something ) JADA BARNETT wants to get smart on Facebook great costumer service! read more

Made an order to go, pickup was great and fast! I had ordered a bacon cheeseburger and side of fries, I only got a regular cheese burger, but i paid for bacon... I also thought my fries weren't fresh, they were stale and had no flavor. Very dissatisfying. read more

The night i was there it's pretty busy, but still there's table, and they got a table right next to the bathroom for me and my friends, the floor was dirty and there's dirty napkins right under our feet. Honestly i have to say every time i went there the food takes forever(even when they are not busy), and it's not worth waiting 30+ minute. read more
