My Irresista-Bowl with Tex-Mex Shrimp was cooked perfectly - slightly spicy but flavorful, chipotle lime and chimichurri blending with black beans, corn, and romaine. 2-for-1 deals and online ordering make it affordable. Thanks very much to Tessa for taking such good care of me and Tex while on the road - great service is what makes this spot a winner eight days a week. read more

Very poor experience here 3/19/26 Arrived at 10:20pm Food arrived at 11:11pm Left at 11:47pm For what it's worth the food was decent but Customer service was extremely lacking.Our appetizer was given to another table.,which took considerably long considering it was just breadsticks.Our waitress checked on us maybe once after we placed our order and once after we received our food.By the end of the meal we had to flag another server down to get her to come bring us our checks and a box which I must include never did receive a box for my meal after waiting for 10 minutes I just left.Wasnt much of a fan of Applebees prior to tonight and unfortunately this hasn't changed.Eat elsewhere! read more

See all

I shouldve read the reviews. Food made me ill. It didnt just twist my stomach, but it felt like a lil poison. Like i felt depleted. Ordered online. Pasta had a lot of water/milk. That was the first sign of trouble. Food was kinda burnt/overcooked too. read more

Was seated when we entered the restaurant, waited 12 minutes to be waited on, the waitress told us she didn't know it was her table. Ordered the 2/25 and added the steak for $5 more. The steak was cooked way past medium, didn't send it back since it took over 20 minutes to get food and was told they only had one cook. Told the hostess, she apologized and offered to have it recooked but didn't send it back because of only having one cook. The waitress did give us a 10% discount, but not enough to make us want to return. Did not see a manager on the floor. read more

Durant was my stop for the night - after a full day of work and 5 hours on the road - 10pm dinner choices are rather limited in this small town. National chain Applebees delivered. Friendly and interactive bar staff, decent food (pretzels (appetizer) and the chicken quesadillas hit the spot) I will keep the spot on my restaurant list. Should I ever be in this town in a similar circumstance again. read more

Food was awful (one overcooked steak, one extremely undercooked steak, and horrible ribs). Appetizers were bad and they took them back and did not offer a replacement. Server was inattentive read more

Sat at the bar with another couple who had already been waited on. Another family seated and had drinks. Waited for 10 minutes and several workers passed by us and never waited on us. Got up and left. Horrible service. read more

Refused to even seat us. Acted like we didn't exist. Stood up at the front with 6 people for 20 minutes. Debated on seating ourselves until we decided we just didn't want to eat there read more

Just came in did not acknowledge and they knew we were there. Place was slow with almost no customers. We were fixing to spend a lot of money too but just ended up leaving so I could not review the food. Do better! I have worked in food all my life and I would not leave customers like this! read more

They food was great!! My boyfriend and I had the queso and chips and mozzarella sticks and also the chicken Alfredo and it was great!! The service was amazing! Our waitress was named Brooke M and she very welcoming and super sweet and she made sure we had a pleasant experience!! I definitely recommend going there for food! read more

Oh wow. Service was lackluster and very slow. We got there pretty early and server was inattentive and spent time talking. Food took forever to come. It is Applebees so not surprised food was only heated onsite, so not sure why it took 35 minute? then it got busy, and couldn't get our check. Only the hostess seemed to be working with any effort. Wishing for pay at table device like Roadhouse. Would go back only in a pinch. read more

Hadn't tried out an Applebee's in years.. this location was friendly and had good weight staff. we just wanted a little light lunch and ask for a suggestion from the waiter. he suggested their Asian taco appetizer so we ordered that and 2 cups of soup. Perfect and everything was so flavorful I had the tomato soup my husband had the tortilla soup, and the suggestion of the Asian taco appetizers were amazing! read more

The first thing I noticed was a very friendly atmosphere as the workers helped customers. As we sat down we were treated greatly and everything came out excellent and delicious. Charlie was our waiter and he did an amazing job and is what warranted the 5-star review for this location. I would go as far to say that the service provided by Charlie was great enough for me to consider coming back to this location, despite me living over 2 hours away. He is the type of server you only get once in a while, and he is the type that makes your evening specia. read more

Not a good beginning Waited at station and she just walked away saying "just a second" and didn't come back. Another person finally came to seat us. Menus were dirty. We just left. They weren't ready to provide service. Just not fun being ignored read more

Little Disappointed. Bartender eating lemons, and then making Drinks didn't wash he's hands Before making them . Bus boy eating off people's plates when they guest left. 3 different tables. Then took the tips left for waitress I was very shocked. It used to be a nice place to go. I would give the young waitress 5 stars. But the bus boy was starving. Need to be talked to. Very unsavory read more

My salad didn't even look appetizing. It's like they threw some lettuce in the container, sprinkled some cheese and threw less than a handful of chunk chicken on it. On top of that, they charged me almost $16 for this....sad read more

Lucky to be getting 1 star! Arrived and got sat down. Took our waitress 10 minutes to take our drink order! She seemed to not want to even be there. Very rude and disrespectful. Ordered our appetizers and waited 30 minutes to receive those. We placed our food order around the same time. When we received our appetizers they were cold like it had been up for awhile. Waited about 30 more minutes for our food and waved another waitress down to see what was going on. She went back to check on our food and came back and said our waitress never even entered the order. She said she would enter it in but it'd be about another 20 minutes so we decided to just pay our check and leave. Our waitress brought the check with no apology and said I took the drinks off for you but you still have to pay for the appetizers...(that were cold in case I forgot to mention) terrible service and would advise Applebees get their crap together. read more

Beer is beer. Service is average depending on which bartender is working. Still a great place to go. Try the steak french dip!

Worst experience I ever had ever since y'all opened up here in Durant. Service was 2.5 out of 10. I got there before 12 didn't get my food till 12:40 while people that came in 10-20 mins after me got their food and was eating it before the server finally came to check on us. Didn't get a refill the whole time because the server didn't ask or take the time to come to my table again after he got our order. Food is delicious to look at and smell but now I have to wait 1 hour to eat it. read more

I rate this no stars because when I got my ribs they were so dry that I could barely chew them. Our service was not very good. The ambiance was okay. read more

We had lunch there today, It was great! Despite the fact that the computer system was down for the whole corporation, both the welcoming hostess and our waiter, Luke, explained the situation and handled everything smoothly. The food was delicious and came in a timely manner. Luke was attentive to our needs and served our table pleasantly and efficiently. We were very pleased and plan to go back soon! read more

TERRIBLE to-go service! If it was just one instance I wouldn't be upset. However, they are consistently 20-30 minutes past the stated pick-up time. Nothing is ever done about the complaint. if they were busy I can even understand that. I now understand why the parking lot is bare. I will not be ordering from them again. read more

The food was wonderful. However, the thing that impressed me was the staff. Everyone has a smile on their faces all the time. Every time I saw the hostess...smile. Our server, I can't recall her name-the beautiful redhead with the long braid-was outstanding. The food runners, so sweet and kind. Well done!!! You are the exception to most Applebees. read more

I sit in this Applebee's for 15 minutes without one waitress coming to the table. Worst service I think I've ever had.

Been here twice now in as many days. Both times the hostess was more concerned what her friends were talking about then she was to sit me. Waited 15 minutes without even being talked to. Terrible service read more

This place is not very good in my opinion. The food is ok, the service is ok . I would highly recommend eating it there. I spent $70.00 for 4 to eat and took it home. It was not good at all. I have eaten there a couple of times in person, and it's ok not great. There are a lot better options in town. read more

Everything from the moment we got sat down, went downhill and fast. My boyfriend got up to use the restroom. Our servers proceed to ask my our drink order. My boyfriend gets back and our server comes around to take our full order. The server then proceeds to ask me for my order only making eye contact with me only. No even for a second asking my boyfriend what he wanted to eat or nothing. I spoke up before our server walked away and said to my boyfriend what do you want to eat. Server then realized and wrote down his order but still made no eye contact towards my boyfriend. We get our food shortly after the order was placed. To find out after two bites his burger was completely raw. I told him do not eat it. We will talk to the manager. The manager comes over and says he we will remake it, we declined and said we would pay for what we have eaten/drank. But we were going to take our business else where. Absolutely horrible customer service, food quality. You name it , it is going to be horrible. Lost our business permanently!! read more

Greeted by two, unfriendly hostesses. Sat at a booth, and assigned an unfriendly waitress. Ordered an overpriced meal that tasted less than mediocre. Will never return and won't be sad if Applebee's goes out of business. read more

NO OUTDOOR DINING. We came sunday about 2pm, because We were limiting our restaurants to those with patio and outdoor dining they have a nice patio but seem to every remove the tables. Fortunately Freddys next-door has some outdoor shaded concrete tables. Freddys has a very limited menu but it was adequate for lunch read more

Never returning here....every waiter/waitress or manager just ruins the experience...I use to love coming here to hang with friends after working out or even during my college days. But the last 2 years has just been awful...I could give you a run down of everything, but just gonna give the tonight experience. Everything started off well. I ordered the chicken wonton tacos and boneless wings. Those items are on the appetizer list and it's after 9pm on a Wednesday. Well the waiter is nice and food comes out fine. The bill comes around and the apps are put down as full price. Well, I tell the waiter that hey these are suppose to be half price. He tells me they don't do half price apps on Wednesday...ok???? Then he comes back and says "I apologize we do do the half price apps tonight, but what you ordered isn't on there." I turn look at the lil flyer on the table and it's at least got the wings on it??? Anyway, I'm like whatever. I give him my card and he comes back and tells me to sign the top....but he doesn't leave. He stands over me and watches me write the tip, total, and sign....like bro, do you just wanna sit beside me and watch??? Anyways the hovering done it for me with the list of other bad experience. Good luck! read more

The food used to be good and the service was quick, however, that is no longer the case. Unfortunately, the food is very bland and service wasn't the best this time. I wish this was a one time event but it has gotten consistently worse each time. read more

The employees are great, but they have no management or corporate support from what I can tell.

Food was great service was ok. 2 in our group total. Ordered appetizer with 2 ice teas and 2 ice waters. 2 issues. When app came out no small plates for messy app. Had to ask for them. Second issue no refills of iced tea but server seemed to know when we were out of water. Either way Food was good and experience was pleasant. read more

We went to Applebee's today for dinner. We arrived about 5:15, and placed our order shortly afterward. At 6:00 pm we still had not gotten our appetizer. When we asked about out food, the waitress said someone had taken it. What? Shouldn't someone be keeping track of the food? She did however inform us that we would not be charged for it when our main course came out. Told the manager on the way out, he did not seem surprised at all. Will not be going back. read more

The food was horrible to start off with. My chicken tenders tasted like straight breading and were totally bland. The bathrooms smelt like absolute putrid disdain. It was like somebody took out their member and peed all over the floor. The floor was so sticky I had to lick my hands to clean them. I had high expectations for this applebees but I was so disappointed. I would put 0 stars if possible but I can't. Disgusting. read more

I worked a long day and did not get the hotel until 12:30 am. I had not had dinner yet and wanted something other than fast food. Only two options where IHOP and Applebee's. The service was great Brandi took great care of me. She got my order right all the way down to extra ice in separate cup for my Iced Tea. I was in an appetizer mode she informed that all appetizer's were half off. She kept my iced tea full through the hole meal. Everything food and service was great. The one star deduction was for the funky smell in the bathroom. Otherwise I would give a full five stars. The key here is open till 2:00 am and appetizer's half off M-F after 9:00 pm. Great late night option. read more

I have not been here, but had the pleasure of waiting on their bartender at my own bar in Sherman. She was trashy, rude, and complained about everything after requesting free birthday shots which Applebee's does not do. After spending the worst hour of my life with this girl and 3 of her friends, they left me no tip other than some chewed up gum that I had to scrape off the bar top. Like I said, I haven't been to this location, but if she acts an eighth as trashy as she did at my bar, I would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Went in during lunch and sat in the bar area. Host threw menus on our table and walked off. Service was slow. Our waitress couldn't keep up with everything even though it was dead. My friend and I got pasta and the breadsticks were hard and inedible. Asked waitress for a to go sweet tea and she brings me an empty cup to pour half of my watered down tea in... gee thanks read more

Laurie was so amazing, she know how customer service is suppose to!! Her skills or memory and how she recommends items is great!! Her smile is so welcoming and seeing her go table to table is crazy good. Always there for anything and refill or not she will ask or get for you!! I would recommend you going in her section. read more

The food overall here is on par with most applebees i've had the pleasure of visiting. Staff can be slower in the late evening hours but to be expected due to downstaffing. One thing i can say for certain though. Be VERY weary of anything they serve you with chicken. This picture was taken of a to go order i received from them only to have raw inedible chicken tenders. Sadly after showing this pic to some people around town i know i learned i'm not the only one this has happened to. read more
