Stopped in for a few late night drinks & had a blast!!! Go pass a good time with Taryn!

Applebee's are a great place to get food for their nostalgia. When you grow up in a smaller town, you would consider Applebee's as fine dining. It has many options to choose from. Today is Veterans Day and Applebee's offered a free entree from about 6 or 7 options. Thank you for that. I ordered the Oriental Grilled Chicken Salad. The dressing was a ginger/soy sauce. It was light and tasted quite well. Thank you Applebee's for your gift. Our server was nice and checked on us several times throughout the course of our meal. The ambiance is noting special but it was clean and organized. If you haven't been here, it is worth the visit, especially if you live in the area. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Oriental grilled chicken salad - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

This location is hit or miss. The menu is consistent with other locations and no single menu item is great, but there's plenty of specials for food and drinks. The one bright spot at all Applebee's is that they serve Pepsi an ice cold Blue Moon. One thing that is always a struggle is the quality of service. It's a rare occasion that you can get a server that is good. I can understand staffing struggles everywhere, but if they were to have a culture change and possibly training change they could do better if they really wanted to. I wouldn't recommend this location now, but it has potential read more

I like Applebees because the variety on the menu and the prices, and this one serves me on time.

Hands down the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Our waiter was great but clearly overwhelmed--they were obviously understaffed. The issue wasn't poor service or mistakes by the staff. The food itself was the problem. The fried chicken was disgusting, the steak was bland, and the coleslaw taco appetizer (or whatever they call it) was horrible. Everything was cooked properly, so this doesn't feel like a kitchen error. It feels like a problem with the menu, corporate decisions, or the overall business model. I haven't been here in years, and after this experience, I don't plan on ever coming back. I truly don't think the workers are at fault, but this was still the worst restaurant experience I've had. Drink menu is great though! read more

I got an email offer to test out a new fried chicken sandwich at Applebees, so I figured why not? Went on a Sunday around 2:30 PM and even with football, it was mostly empty. I sat at the bar, had quick service, showed them the email and ordered the sandwich. The chicken breast was HUGE, well-cooked, and seasoned well. The accompanying sauce was a thicker buffalo-style sauce and I used it more for dipping the fries. Fresh vegetables with a good crisp - not wilted. For $10, was a decent deal. Clean, fresh, attentive, tasty! read more

I came to this location last night to celebrate Thing Two's birthday. The restaurant was fairly slow, which could be expected for a Monday evening around 6:00 PM. Therefore, we (a total party of 4) were seated right away. We ordered appetizers, and all had individual entrees. Here we go... Brew Pub Pretzels Everyone knows that pretzels are a staple food in pubs, bars, restaurants, and, of course are served with a pint of beer! Its popularity truly has nothing to do with its history but continues to develop and become better than ever with the rise of the foodie culture. Fun fact: Did you know that pretzels are associated with the religious practice called Lent? Back in the 7th century, the Catholic Church had much more strict rules regarding Lent than now. However, because people still needed to eat, the church suggested the pretzel be an ideal food of choice when practicing abstinence. These pretzels served have a tender chew with a lightly crispy exterior. However, the beer cheese that accompanied these pretzels was chalky and left much to be desired. Chicken Wonton Tacos These sweet chili chicken tacos are sweet with flavors of garlic, ginger, soy, and sweet chili sauce. These are light appetizers that are perfect for those who like a little zing. Tex-Mex Shrimp Bowl- Yikes, this entree is extremely bland. The base for this entree (cilantro rice) didn't have any taste whatsoever. It was as if the line cook last night just gave up. The other ingredients did nothing to help the dish as it was mostly Romaine lettuce. Other items ordered include the Bourbon Street Mushroom burger, sweet and spicy crispy sandwich, and a sirloin holiday combo. These entrees fared better than the Tex-Mex shrimp bowl. However, the sirloin on the combo wasn't cooked as requested. The service provided by Emily was efficient and pleasant, yet the food (which was not in her control) was underwhelming. read more

I do love applebees but I can't drink my martinis without the olive juice. They've been out now foe a couple weeks. Instead of ordering why not pick some up at specs instead of people walking to chili's. I've had a few people tell me they're going other places for their martinis. :( read more

Taryn, our server, was professional, engaging, detail oriented and delightful. She alone will bring us back!

Came in one afternoon not expecting much (husbands restaurant choice).... however I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed myself and my meal! The highlight of our whole experience was a sweet young lady named Alice. She was extremely attentive and provided fast and friendly service and she catered to our every need! Overall I can say I will be coming back and I will definitely be requesting Alice as my server. read more

Service was very slow, which was a surprise on a Friday night and there were only 3 tables being served. Silverware was dirty for both os us and had to be replaced. Food arrived over salted. Will not be going back with so many options in this area. read more

Meangela was absolutely amazing! She handled the bar, tables, and to-go orders all by herself and didn't miss a beat. She was attentive, respectful, and made sure everything was perfect. Truly impressive service! read more

Despite what the sign says outside they are not open until 2 - they are only open until 12 Service not overly friendly, and did not seem too happy I decided to drop by - just a handful of tables occupied. I sat at the bar and was greeted with - Picking up? I said - no eating in - which got a response of oh! And a few minutes later the menus. Later on in the service bartender became a little more interactive and is the case with a lot of places has been at the bar since mid morning- double shift- grace granted - hard working employee. 1/2 price selected apps from 9 to close. Tonight was my third visit to take advantage of this special. Tonight my choice was the chicken quesadilla- flavorful chicken, crisp tortilla- very pleased. Overall Applebees delivers for the late night food fix read more

We went there for lunch. Right at noon. Waited for someone to seat us but nobody showed up. There was only 1 waitress serving the whole restaurant which had about 8 tables occupied. The wait staff was overwhelmed and we got the best they could do service wise. However, I put it on the manager for the poor experience b/c basic service (refills, order not right, lack of attentiveness. They just needed more servers. The servers they had, though, were great and had good attitudes. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening and were surprised that the restaurant was mostly empty with no one at the bar. They have 10 flat screens with sports on, but no sound except for a little house music in the background. At least the sparse crowd only accentuated better service. You will notice that on virtually every single table there is a small gaming machine. Not sure why this is a thing, but it must be to get a couple extra bucks out of you and keep the kids distracted. I had two of the five dollar sippers but I could tell there is very little in the way of alcohol in them. They also have a very limited craft beer selection, just one or two comercial options. When the food came out, it wasn't that spectacular, but everyone seemed to be OK with what they got. I got the bacon cheeseburger, but in hindsight, I should've just got the double burger since the patty was thin and overcooked. I have to admit, they do have a lot of offerings on their menu, including some value pairings. We did try the chocolate lava cake with ice cream which was only seven dollars and worth it. All in all the service was good and the food was OK, but then again, you get what you pay for. read more

Gave us the menus, we placed our orders. Came back, said those menus are for tomorrow and they can give us the same food but will charge us $10. Didn't try to apologize or rectify what was their mistake. Now, this is our fault for going to Applebee's but definitely their fault for not knowing which menus to give us. Definitely do not recommend this location. They are not run well. read more

My wife and I stopped by for dinner on Sunday, March 25th around 6:00 pm. Restaurant was not very busy. We were seated promptly and waited 15 minutes for service. The hostess noticed our wait and eventually came over and offered drinks. After another 10 minutes of waiting, we got up and left. We went next door to Chili's and were seated and served immediately. You need to hire and train your staff. read more

Excellent sirloin steak, perfectly prepared, with tasty side dishes and bountiful salad. Served by professional, attentive waitstaff in pleasant atmosphere. What's not to like? read more

Applebee's....One of the first places I stopped at for a cool beverage 22 years ago after moving to Georgetown and it's still a good place to hang out and grab a bite to eat. Yeah, it's a chain from the era when Bennigan's, TGI Friday's, Chili's, and Ruby Tuesday's were popular, but Applebee's still does a great job at keeping their food and drink menu fresh along with iconic favorites like Double Crunch Wings and Burgers. read more

The service was horrible. It took this lady an hour to take our order. We went there to celebrate a birthday. The waitress took the order of 4 people that got there last. We were seated and waiting. The last to get there got their food ordered and were eating while we waited. Then she took the other 5 people in our party and placed those orders before our order. I asked why not take the entire party's order and place it in at the same time. The food was horrible. I ordered ribs. It was burnt. Who burns ribs? Applebee's burned the ribs? The ribs were burned, dry and hard. Another person ordered wings. The wings were dry and hard and flavorless. I was charged $35 for food. I'll never return to that place. The restaurant was streaming hot. It was cold outside. But it was like that had the heat turned on hell. It was extremely hot. The floor was dirty. The menu that was there was sticky and had a film in it. read more

Ordered a Cesar Salad and the cheese was so bad- as soon as I opened the salad it had a bad stench.

I ordered the ribeye steak. I asked for it to be cooked Medium well instead I was given medium rare to medium. I do not personally like to eat meat with blood still coming out of it. The restaurant only had less than 10 people through out the entire restaurant. My waiter said they were just going to put the same steak back on the grill even though it has already been cut into. This will lead to the meat drying out and taste worthless. The menu states that your steak is cooked to perfection. Obviously this a misprint in their menu seeing that is not what I was served. This is Texas if can't cook a steak to a customer request then remove it from your menu and only cook what you know how to do read more

We like Applebee's. Good Bourbon Street offerings and very good hamburgers. My wife often gets the wonton taco appetizers as her entrée.

Tonight my family and I decided to dine at the Georgetown Applebees location. The food and service was good overall until I almost choked on a piece of plastic that was buried in my garlic mashed potatoes. The piece of plastic looked like a corner of a thick plastic bag the tip of it was burnt hard and had a sharp point. I decided to stop eating the mashed potatoes at this point and notify my waitress what I found. The waitress took a quick glance and replied with a quick "I'll give you a discount and make sure to remove the three dollars from your ticket." There was no concern of how it got there if I was OK. I never asked for a discount. I didn't ask to get free food. I wanted to bring this to her attention so they can get with the kitchen staff and maybe the manager so that this doesn't happen again instead I got the three dollar discount and what seemed like a total disregard to the bad experience I had and how dangerous it would've been if I actually swallowed the piece of hard burnt plastic. I honestly felt insulted that she did not seem to care, as if she was thinking I was just trying to get a free meal. Not sure I'll be giving this place a second try. Maybe if management was made aware they would have handled it differently. Do better. The least bit of concern would have gone a long way. read more

This place has the worst customer service I have ever seen. As the only customer in the building I walked in and sat at the bar for lunch. The bartender then walked away into the kitchen. I saw another employee sitting at a booth so I walked up and asked her about the bartender. She replied "she will be back, your just going to have to sit down and wait" I can not comment on the food because I never received a menu. read more

Im not sure why people are giving this place such low ratings a lot of the time.I eat at restaurants all over austin area and way outside austin area.Ive eaten here about 5 times over 3 years.I have Never had an issue.Food is good,atmosphere is good,servers are good,cleanliness is good.Price is a little high but thats on bidenomics.I love this place and will be back again! read more

Less then 1 star. Last night, 9-24-22 the entire staff walked out at the same time..this place needs to close. read more

Ok, let's face it. This isn't fine dining. But it is a known quantity. And when your Christmas plans changed due to a family emergency and a group wants to eat something, you find any port in a storm. And between the virus, staffing, and supply chain issues, the plain truth is that it's borderline impossible to find Christmas dinner in the Austin metro dinner unless you've made reservations way in advance. After driving past many crowded Chinese options and 24 hour breakfast options, we were all but resigned to getting something from a drive through when we drove past this location a second time and saw the parking lot had emptied out some. The location was short on staff, but both the host and our server Garrett did their best to take care of us and make us feel welcome. The menu was limited for the holiday and they were out of several items (notably their version of a French dip), but we all managed to find something to satisfy the hunger. My babyback ribs were pretty satisfying as I do like grilled ribs and the sweet Asian chili sauce was a welcome change from the usual cloyingly sweet BBQ sauce that most chain restaurants slather on ribs. The other two in our dining party had Caesar salads -- one with shrimp and the other with grilled chicken. Both of them described the salads as a pleasant surprise. Nope, it's not fine dining. It's chain dining. But when you're looking for a late night and/or holiday dining option, this location delivers. read more

I arrived @ 11:30 PM and they declare they are closed when the sign says midnight closure. Wow. Thanks a lot Applebees!! I chose to bring my business to you and you can't honor your own standard. read more

Thank You Applebee's for recognizing veterans and for providing free meals along with an additional 15% off discount card for later use. It was an honor to serve this great country for thirteen years as a combat medic in the US Army. Though I do not seek it out, it is nice to be recognized, and appreciated for your service, but my heart goes out to those who were disabled, or lost their lives defending our freedom. You will never be forgotten. God Bless Applebee's, God Bless our Veteran's, and God Bless the USA !!! read more

Had dinner here tonite , we had blackened salmon with broccoli and salad. It was perfection!! Our server, Summer, was fantastic.

Ordered form here today and was super excited to get the oriental chicken salad and they forgot the dressing. This is the THIRD TIME i have ordered this salad from here and received no dressing. Dinner ruined. Again. read more

The menu includes some good meals, but I not have a good experience ordering called oh on line and picking up food I prefer to eat in restaurants because I like the taste of the food make fresh and hot in the bar they makes drinks like very refreshing margaritas! l have not drink one recently its been a while and since is a cadena/ restaurant depending were town o city is located read more

my wife and buddy that came Into town, always wondered why the parking lot was ways always empty. we gave it a try and all 3 of us sick to stomach within an hour of leaving. one ordered a burger, one ordered salmon and the last plate was the bourbon chicken.... we didn't share food but all three plates made us very sick. I know now why people do not go here and the parking lot is always empty... never again. I don't want a gift card or anything to "give us another shot" NOPE. Its kinda like the scene from brides maids.... read more

The last couple times in Applebee's has been disappointing. Tonight..the last straw. Came in, waited a bit to be seated, given menu's, then...GHOSTED. No water, no be right with you..as a matter of fact when I looked around there was 1 waitress on the opposite side of the restaurant. No bartender, no managers. Nothing. Waited a while, started looking at other places open. Decided Dairy Queen was a better option at this point. Got up, wife walked out, I went to find someone to tell them we are leaving. All the staff we huddled behind the staff wall chit chatting with the managers. Never Again! read more

I always have loved Applebee's for its consistent service and food selection. Not to mention the drinks which are always refreshing and creative. However this visit wasn't pleasant at all and after traveling through a terrible thunderstorm for a couple of hours on the interstate, my son and I looked forward to resting and recharging with a great meal and amazing service. My daughter was also traveling separately and would join us later on. Not the case at all. Simply put, no greeting from the server, we had to ask for everything from napkins to a drink refill for my son. Condiments and the check. I would have wanted another drink for myself and possibly desert but... I always had to grab the other waiter from the next table or the greeter to go grab her for us. Super annoying and distasteful. The good was mediocre, the broccoli had a strange aftertaste, my robe were okay and my sons fries were the smallest serving we had ever received. Not big deal breakers but I wield hand mentioned this to my server if I'd been asked. I never was. I also would have asked for the manager but felt too deflated from asking others to find my server. When I was asked who my server was, didn't know her name because I was never introduced. At the very end I asked for her again to bring the check and I read her name on the receipt... Samantha. My intention isn't to bring harm, but to hopefully make management aware of increased training opportunities, in hope that others won't experience her poor customer service. When my daughter eventually joined us, we went to Chili's next door. This is the first time I've never left a tip. In all fairness I did write a note on the receipt. read more

I love Applebee's so much! Last night my boyfriend and myself had our first date out in over a year due to COVID. We were both so excited to go out and sit down to eat at a restaurant. The experience was subpar and the taste of the food was a little off. Today I woke up with food poisoning and my boyfriend felt the same. I had to call out of work and I just felt like crap! My boyfriend pointed out that we always feel like this after eating at this particular restaurant. We've eaten at other Applebee's locations and never had an issue but after having 3 visits to this location we've decided to stop going here and when we crave Applebee's we will drive an extra 20/30 minutes to the Austin location. read more

It's Applebee's so I'm not expecting the world... Food is decent, drinks are good and always some sort if special on. My issue is every time we order an appetizer they just bring everything at once.. Not the point of a starter. Let alone because they do this I finish sooner (meaning no more drinks to be ordered) and will no longer spend the extra money on a starter since they can never get their kitchen right. Also why in the world do you need to be open on Thanksgiving and Christmas? I feel very sorry for your employees. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Why??? - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

This restaurant is really iffy. I've gotten great food and service, but I've also been served raw shrimp and broccoli on undercooked pasta. It really just depends on the day. A lot of reviews say it's cheap, but it really isn't. My husband and I spend about $85 eating here, and most of the time we leave saying we shouldn't come back. But since there's a line everywhere else, we always seem to be giving it another try. Good news is, their updated menu is pretty decent. Now they just have to get their cooking and service to match. read more

We came tonight 7/22/22 and had no service. We got sat down and waited a long time to get someone to come up to us. We ended up just ordering 3 cakes through the tablet they have. A while after, the server came to ask us what we wanted to drink and she brought them. She asked if we wanted straws and we said yes and she left and never came back nor brought the straws. Someone else brought the cakes later on and I'm convinced he only brought them out because the ice cream was melting. Anyways, good thing for the tablet because we were able to pay and leave. We should have just not paid anything because it was like we were never there. read more
