    Service wasn't much to my liking. It took forever for them to bring out our appetizers. We had finally gotten our food after more than 30 minutes of waiting and it wasn't too terribly bad. My only two complaints was that the fiesta chicken I received had too much sauce on it. The fries were also way too over seasoned and my kids were unable to eat them.

    On 6/1/18 at approximately 8:30pm I showed up to Applebees in their car side to go to receive my order. When I ordered online it was estimated that my order will be done at 8:35pm. I waited over 15 minutes to receive my order. The entire time employees would be looking outside the the window and talking to each other. Not once did someone come out and tell me they were busy or that my order would be coming out late. After waiting 15 minutes past my pick up time I decided to leave. I no longer wanted the food. As I was backing up an employee came out with my order. I pulled forward again. I asked him if they usually leave a customer sit outside for 15minutes with no communication that the food order was on its way. He told me that after a certain time it's not the employees job to come out and do car side to go. It's the customers job to come inside and pick it up. Customers just arnt aware of it because the online ordering doesnt state that. Now I'm furious. That means my food has been sitting off to the side for 15 minutes because I didn't come inside because I wasnt aware of a rule that wasnt stated to me! I love Applebees. I eat here all the time and although the customer service isnt always the best I continue to come back because I love the food. I always leave good reviews and suggest it to friends and family, but I'm disgusted. This was by far the worst experience I have ever received. I waiting 20minutes for cold food. The only good part of my experience was the man who ordered my food. He kept himself calm the entire time I was upset. Sadly, him treating me nice doesnt change the fact of anything that happen. I'm very upset and pretty sure I wont be returning my business.

    I came in for the first time last night, and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. This…read morewas primarily due to poor service. Our server Jeff did seem busy, and was pleasant, but never around. He greeted us and took our order quickly. Then someone else dropped off our entrees (app was supposed to come out first which he clarified with us when we ordered). My order was buffalo wings with a side of buffalo sauce, and the wings came naked with a side. I would have asked for these to be taken back and tossed, but was hungry and ate half of them before we could flag down our server--my husband had finished his entire meal of wings by this time. When we were able to flag him down, I asked for more sauce, and our app. He apologized for this, and brought out the (hot) app very soon after. The wings were ok, and would have been much better if sauced. My husband likes his boneless wings just fine. The cheese curds we got were pretty good--more of a breading than crispy fried texture, but the flavor was great. I would come back and give this place another chance, but in the future will just walk back to a kiosk to find an employee if we have any issues, since we had to wait so long to flag down our server (on our own) for assistance.

    I think a homeless man could be a better waiter and who has to pay, to play pool also the food was…read morehorrible

We weren't there for sports, we were there for lunch; however, we definitely took notice that it would indeed be the place to go for sports. A group of five of us, seated at a table and the only reason I'm docking a star is because we were seated just a few feet away from the Keno ball machine and it was quite unpleasant when it was running, which was during most of our visit. Excellent burgers, pork tenderloin sandwich, hand breaded chicken strips, fries & tater tots! Not a morsel left on anyone's plate! Our service was wonderful and attentive, we were checked in several times and beverages refilled often. We will definitely be back when we return to Norfolk!

    We went to have dinner and a few beers. Our waiter was exceptional. However the restaurant…read moreoperations leave the ability do waitstaff to do their job very limited. It really painted a poor picture of the bar. First, when you walk in there appears to be a wide variety of beers and a well stocked bar. However, the bar doesn't provide a printed beer menu nor does it have a QR code one can scan to see the selection. No waitstaff member should be expected to remember the selection of beers, especially since there were some smaller breweries, in theory, represented. I travel a lot, here and abroad and this was the first time I'd ever experienced something this poor. Our guests decided to have martinis after the meal. What should've been a standard order (Grey Goose dirty martinis) was near impossible to get. Our poor waiter had to twice return to our table to tell us the bar didn't have Grey Goose nor did it have vermouth. These are not rare or exceptional things used one in a while in a bar. Grey Goose is a standard upsell from well vodka; and to not have vermouth tells me inventory management is shoddy. We also found out that there were a large number of managers on shift. My experience has been that when a restaurant manager sees or knows one of their waitstaff is struggling due to the restaurant's shortcomings; that manager comes to the table and apologizes. Our poor waiter was constantly stuck as the bearer of bad news and it really was a very poor look for what could be a much better bar experience based upon the interior. Tragically this is one of the few places open on Sunday in Norfolk so you're captive to this bar or fast food when visiting here. We won't be back. This model of business doesn't deserve nor earn success. It negated any promise of value the food may have provided.

We arrived about 9pm and there was a sign that said kitchen closed, after driving all day we were parched and looking for a bite to eat. We asked if it was closed... it was, but they opened the kitchen back up for us! How genuine and kind! We ordered pickle chips, and each got a sandwich and a side, it's worth coming just for the double cheeseburger! It was absolutely huge and totally worth the price, tasted like mom made when I was a kid. Definitely homemade! We had two rounds each, and stayed to chat. We ended up being the last ones in the bar. Our server - Stacey is incredible, very sociable and kind! At the end of the night she bought us a round! The ambiance is your favorite small town bar! A pool table, juke box, casino games and beer signs fill the well lit bar. There were signs that mentioned this bar was for sale and sounds like the owners are looking to retire, I sure hope this bar has a long life, if not with the current owners then with new owners - this is going to be a new staple for us on our way through town!

The waitress was friendly and prompt to come and get our drink order and to get it brought to us. Then our order was not long after that. A table of 4 and we received our appetizer quick enough and had time ro enjoy it before our order came. We all made sure to get something different so as to try as much of the menu we could. Burger, fries, cauliflower, chicken fried steak sandwich, pork tenderloin sandwich, onion rings, glue fries, drinks and im sure im missing something. Everyone left feeling very satisfied, and loving our choices and what we ate. The place is smaller and I can see once its a packed house it is probably noisy but its to be expected. After all it is a tavern. I will be recommending the place as much as I can and will visit again when I am in town.
