I would give zero stars because they don't deserve anything!!! I went to this place to eat lunch and the service was horrible. Janay or whatever her name is, was very rude and disrespectful. During this ordeal she did not bring the drink out that I requested and my daughter had to go to the bar to ask for the drink. When the food finally arrived, it was cold. I ordered nachos and the cheese was still intact and the queso was cold and nasty. She took the food back and returned it. It was burned at this time and hard. The manager Phil finally came to the table and we told him about the experience, he comped the food but that does not take away from the fact that she was rude and put something in the food. I know this because as soon as I got to my car I stared vomiting. I then told my daughter to get the manager. He came outside while Janay sat in the window pointing and making crude gestures. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! I SUGGEST THAT NO BODY GOES! BECAUSE I AM CALLING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!!!! read more

Hostess was nice. That was it. We never saw anyone else. We sat for roughly 30 mins and no one came to take our drink order. I asked the host for our server and still they didn't show up. Everyone else around was getting taken care of though. We ended up just walking out read more

Food turned out great l got my complimentary dessert for my birthday reward. I ordered the bourbon chicken and shrimp which is one of my favorite entrees. the mashed potatoes are so creamy and delicious also. The food comes to you piping hot so be sure to wait 5-7 minutes before digging in. The only reason l am giving it a 2 star review is because l wrote in a $7 20% tip and l was later charged for my birthday dessert but my total was $10 more than what l anticipated on paying. So l have no idea why l was charged more than what l wrote on my receipt. read more

See all

Angie always treat me good when I show up and the food is excellent!!!! The Management is always attentive and visible

I am still trying to process what it was that made this server the server from hell. This is the rudest service I have ever experienced. Talk about poor service. This guy was holding seats at the bar for ppl that never showed up. I came to find out the bar tender just saves seats for his friends. He also dismisses everyone at the bar as well. I left my phone in the bathroom because i am on crutches and that somehow indicated to the bar tender that I was drunk despite him only serving me a glass of wine. When i asked for the manager, he called security to escort me out on crutches. He then proceeded to make such a scene. It was not only unnecessary but so embarrassing. Ive never experienced this kind of service anywhere. I went there on Thurs March 3rd so whoever that bar tender was. read more

Came for date night and had a perfect cooked burger and manager Bill came by to check up on us. Quick service

Absolutely disgusting. Went in during "happy hour" and sat at the bar, hoping to drink a few and eat. As I drank my beer, I noticed several places where the roof was leaking water onto the floor and several tables (probably from the air conditioning). The beer was also lukewarm and poured with 90% head and left to settle. But the piece de resistance was when the bartender literally went wrist deep into her pants and scratched her buttcrack. Best part? She didn't wash her hands. Yes I saw. No, I'll never forget. Paid for my crap beer and went somewhere else. I'll never do Applebees again. read more

Two stars is two too many. Stopped in for a quick bite on our way to a concert in Dallas. The host at the door looked at us and said us as we walked in so where do you want to sit. Almost 30 minutes later we have our wine and water and that's about it. The service is so poor here. They obviously don't care about their patrons. Crossing our fingers our food comes out ok. After all how bad can you mess up a salad. And now our food is brought out to the wrong table and they took it back to the back. Lord help me keep my patience. read more

This place has some of the absolute worst service. Even with limited seating due to COVID the wait was 25-40 minutes with open tables. The host disappeared while a line formed at the door. read more

This should actually be a -5 star review!!! If your white do not expect service at this Applebee's!!! We sat for over 10 min., waiting for someone to come to our table to take our order while others who came into the restaurant after us were served immediately, and yes the waitress, greeter, manager, bar tender and all most all of the clients in the restaurant were black. there should be a sign on the door WHITES NOT WELCOME!! needless to say we will never go back to this place or for that matter any other Applebee's ever again!!!! read more

Waiting 10 min to be seated and the restaurant had about 4 people inside Then 15 min to get a drink order. Food took 30 min from when we were seated just to order. It was out quicker. I'm guessing no manager. Not even dinner rush time. read more

me and my friends decided to go out and grab a bite at Applebee's and we all know that they have great deals on food and drinks. When we got in they seated us at our table and that's not the gross part but both table were dirty. I cannot stand a dirty table and let's not talk about underneath that table!!!!!! Dirty dirt dirty. Like ew!!!! My waiter name was Marquis and he tried his best to look over things, we placed our order and when I tell you I always order the steak Parmesan with shrimp and loaded mash potatoes with a side order of broccoli. I do because that's my favorite meal. I was so disappointed my steak was over cooked and burnt and I never gotten my extra shrimp nor did they ever bring the new steak I ordered. Not only was I disappointed with the food but then we had to deal with read more

The worse damn Applebees ever all they do is sit outside and smoke on the clock instead of making / bringing you your order

I love this place so much! Jermaine is amazing human. He is always so attentive and has superior customer service. I am so grateful for this establishment. The team does such a great job to create such a peaceful environment. read more

We should have read the reviews before eating here. We can't around noon and there were only three other patrons at the establishment. We thought we had beat the rush. Even with such few people there, we still didn't get the greatest service. We constantly had to wave down our waitress. The sad part is that we wanted to support local businesses and tip out the team well. We constantly saw staff on social media it talking about what they wanted to do for the new year festivities. I only wish we had better service. The food was okay, but not sure if we will be back. read more

Got to Applebee's on Illinois at 5:45 were told to be a 15 minutes away but the place is not crowded only three seen three servers no one came back to check on us and see if we was okay been here for 15 minutes at this point and still no table read more

Slow service and food was cold and I had to clean my own seat. The manager was nice and gave a discount so not mad. I'm just disappointed. Things sure are not what they used to be. Service is a thing of the past, pride in your work place is gone. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION!!!!!!! If I could give no stars, I would. It is absolutely disgusting, the service is just as disappointing as the employees. I had 2 to go orders that were supposed to be complete by 10pm and weren't done until 10:50pm and no one wanted to update me on my orders. I had to stop employees in their tracks to get help and even then I was approached with an attitude. There were people in the kitchen who clearly work there or have in the past, just coming in and out getting the things they needed for their table. NO GLOVES, NO SANITATION. When I say the employees, service and location were absolutely disgusting, I mean utterly disgusting. There was another employee smoking a black and mild in the dinning area as he was walking out of the kitchen. These employees were standing around literally doing nothing, talking a table of people they all knew, except for one girl with red and black box braids. She was actually working but with an attitude, given they were terribly understaffed. The entire staff, including the manager Tony needs to get proper training to run a franchise establishment. The employees do not take their manager seriously and none of them take their job seriously. Lastly, the location is supposed to be open until 2am. They tried to lock the doors at 11pm because they were so understaffed and unorganized. If they can't get the correct training, the entire staff should be let go and hire new staff who is more qualified and equipped to work in a restaurant. I didn't mind waiting for my orders, but how bad it smelled in there, the health precautions that they are failing to take with covid-19 and just in general, the disappointing and again disgusting service, the attitudes, and lack of slight hospitality, made me write this review Don't even waste your time, trying to give it a chance thinking your experience will be different or you'll go with the "good" reviews. This location sucks and you might as well go to a different location if you really want Applebee's. read more

We arrived at 4:40pm. The hostess with no one waiting. The hostess said she would clear a table for us. She cleared it, took something to the kitchen and never came back! It now 5:02 and we left. While we were waiting two groups came in. No one even acknowledged they were there. They all left right after us. Horrible service!!! read more

Friendly service, but not much else good to say. Cheese on my French onion soup wasn't fully melted, yet alone browned. But what you need to know, is that this place is more like a neighborhood bar with people LOUDLY shouting to each other (playfully) across the bar area. Super distracting and not at all relaxing. There's a security guard on duty, which also tells you a lot about the area and clientele. read more

Great food great drinks great service. If you come here ask for Alex sherron as your waiter!

Greeted at door promptly, seated at booth. Dinner was tasty Shrimp stir fry with plenty of shrimp , and grilled salmon was cooked perfect, with broccoli & mas potatoes. Happy Hour long island ice tea was strong but good , overall service was good no major issues. And music was enjoyable believe it or not. read more

Met a friend for a drink as this is one of his favorite places. They have a jukebox with decent music options, many TVs to watch the game, drinks are reasonably priced and they are open till 2am every day of the week. My only complaint is the staff seemed a little less than enthusiastic to be there. The hostess stand was unmanned a lot. I watched as people walked in and no one to seat them so they seated themselves & there were some elderly ladies with walkers who needed assistance with the doors but once again, no hostess to be found. The food that passed by me did look good, however as i said earlier it's a friends favorite spot to go to. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Nothing better than a cold beer. - American Near Me - Duncanville, Texas

Absolutely the WORST Applebees we have ever been in! Place smelled like mildew, very dirty. We stopped because my husband is in sales and had to stop to het some orders done. Waited about 15 minutes to het our drinks as we saw our server ask the bartender 3 times for them. She moved so slow and gave us go to hell looks the whole time. Our server tried but had nothing to work with. Bartender should be fired. She hand delivered drinks to a table and proceeded to visit with them then it had been so long she had to ask our server what we ordered. By the way we were 2 of 6 people in the place. Will stop on the side of the road over ever going there again!! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER! Waitresses prioritize their friends and family before the regular customers ! The waitress took 40 min just to take our drink order 40MINUTES !!!! Food was disgusting and cold. We expressed to the manager that we where unsatisfied and he didn't care at all. NEVER COME HERE! read more

Went for a birthday luncheon today. Everything was in slow motion. There is no way they had a full staff today. Food was okay but we got our food after everyone else in our party. Although the party was at least 22 people, we only had one server. read more

This was the best Applebee's experience ever. Great music, great people, good food. It was definitely a vibe.

The worst service ever..We sat 45 minutes in an empty restaurant with several servers walking passed our tables without service..We sat at our table with dirty glasses that did not belong to us..We had to wave down a manager just to get a server at our table..It took 50 minutes to get our food..That came out cold while still waiting on drinks that never came..I had to find my own utensils..While several servers stood around and managers sat around talking never once checking on patrons..I will not be visiting the Applebees in Duncanville on 67 @cockrell Hill again read more

No workers are working . Definitely needs to focus on the customers. Also please make sure the workers wash their clothes and brush their teeth. better Hygiene as well read more

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVEN WORSE THEN THE FOOD!!!! We were literally sat down by the host our waitress walked past us 6 times even told the table next to us to "take their time because she aint got nothing to do." Yet haven't greeted us nor acknowledged us at all! When she finally did she walked up to our table with our drinks in her hand and scratching her hair. She was play fighting with other workers and rarely checked on us. When I got a water with lemon it was literally salad pieces in my water. Food was cold, just distasteful. read more

No where on that receipt does it say that the total had to include a tip. This morning I saw a notification stating that said "Your transaction at Applebee's has been updated from $145.50 (which was my total without a tip) to include tip. Your new tip is $165.50." There was a group of 4 of us that ordered and I did not tip. I am the one whose card the total on. I did not tip because (1) we wanted a bigger booth for a more comfortable space but we were lied to by the host and told that it was not open and had to sit at a smaller booth. They proceeded to place another group in the spot we asked to be at and that group only had about 3-4 people as well. (2) The waitress did not repeat our order to make sure it was right so one of my friends food was wrong. She was suppose to have Steak but was given chicken. My friend said it was fine as long as we werent charged for her steak. (3) The waitress didnt ask about how to cook my steak and I wasnt thinking to ask but when I got it, it was well done so it was hard. I ask them to cook it Med-well and it looked like a different type of steak came back out and it was still cooked the same way (well done, dry and hard) . (4) My other friend ordered two meals one to eat there and a 2nd to take home in which he asked the 2nd to be made closer to when we were finished and in a to-go box but it was brought out with the rest of the food. Which meant it was gonna be cold by the time we got home, which it was. (5) Then the waitress tried to also charge me my specific order (which was $24.48) twice. I have my rece that shows "0" for tip with a line through it and the total showing $145.50 ONLY! read more

Worst Apple Bees Ever!! Horrible customer service from EVERYONE including the manager!! Very dirty, including roaches crawling on the table!!! DONT GO DONT GO! read more

I am very displeased with the experience and service, or lacktherof I experienced last night at the Applebee's at 810 S. Cockrell Hill Rd, Duncanville, Tx 75137. It is apparent that the guy manager is every employee's friend and they do not respect his leadership. Upon ordering I ordered a water with lemon. The waiter, Cameron J. brought my table 3 waters. I inquired about my lemons and he stated he" was busy" with an attitude, meanwhile there was hardly anyone in the establishment as it was late and cold outside and only 2 booths he was servicing in our section. His attitude was strike 1. 2nd strike was I ordered an appetizer, spinach dip which didn't make it to my table until after my entree. Cameron J. never came and gave me an update on the timing or delays of the appetizer or anything. So upon tabbing out it took Cameron 30+ almost 40 minutes to come get my table's cards from the table and run them. So I see Cameron sitting on the job and socializing with a coworker not far from the bar so I went over and got his attention to tell him we were ready to close our tabs and go. He immediately got upset and stated " You didn't have to do all that!" Apparently he thought we were supposed to just sit there all night waiting for him to finish socializing and fraternizing. He then proceeds to state "We can take this outside!". At this point I'm livid because we waited patiently for so long and his attitude was distasteful and unprofessional. The entire time he's yelling and causing a scene the older male manager was at a booth on the same side sitting down, looking and aware of how problematic Cameron J. was being, allowing him to make threats and be disrespectful. Cameron then shoves my sister as she was getting up to defuse the now escalated situation. Thankfully the cop with some sense came to disengage the near altercation since the manager didn't say or even attempt to do anything. Cameron J. And the manager on duty tonight are both liabilities to Applebee's and as a result should be terminated. The staff was doing whatever they wanted to do, sitting down, socializing with each other, and not checking on us, the paying patrons. As the night went on the 2 occupied booths also had to hunt Cameron down to close out their tabs. Patrons should not have to wait 40mins+ to get their cards ran when only 2 booths are occupied in the entire establishment. It seemed Cameron J. did not want to work and neither did the manager on duty. The timestamp on my receipt is 12:37AM on 2/13/21 After this experience I will NEVER be eating at Applebee's again. Applebee's patrons deserves much better service than poor performance, laziness, and bad piss poor attitudes.  DO NOT VISIT. Go where you are valued, respected, and appreciated. read more

Worst applebees EVER. So this review is about to get brutally honest. Went to the Cockrell Hill Rd Applebees on 01/24/19 at around 715 PM, when we arrived the customers in attendance were minimal and there were about 6 or 7 servers, we opted to sit in the bar area. After being seated we watched as several servers walked around but did not acknowledge us, finally after 10 minutes our waiter passed by us and said he'd be right with.... Five minutes later he was back to take our order of unlimited riblets, fried shrimp and two beers. Twenty minutes later the food arrives....rubbery unappealing fried shrimp and riblets that were warm and doused in bbq sauce. The food was not that good as a matter of fact we tried to change it up and got instead chicken fingers and riblets...two words about that ...THEY SUCKED. The fingers were overcooked, hard and dry and this time the riblets were undercooked. We then wanted to get a pitcher of Bud light, we asked the waiter and off he went, 10 minutes later the waiter comes back and tells us "we only have two pitchers and both are being used" ( mind blowing) He also once one was freed up he would get it to us. Thank you but no thank you. All in all, this was $50 worth of a very bad experience. Come on Applebees I've seen better and I know you can be better. read more

This Applebee's is terrible. Our Waitress was great but management and the bar tender KALEB was horrible. Service was slow took forever to get our food. The bartender Kaleb was rude he messed up our drinks they were very watered down. The manager MARK did NOTHING to rectify our situation and claimed there was nothing he could do about it. They need to teach staff about be courteous to customers. But on a good note our Waitress was great!! read more

Worst experience ever! Our sever took forever to get our drink orders in . Looked at tables across from us and told them she wasn't in a rush walked passed us and still did not take our orders . The food was warm almost cold as if was just sitting. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO APPLEBEES I read more
