Really chill but prices are extra don't come if you broke. Overall I give it 5 stars.

The servers are very cool and friendly and real with the customers don't come if you ain't gone keep it G my boy gang shit.

Well Applebee's just lost me as a customer. Fish and chips was a failure. The fish was very small. The fries weren't that good. Not to mention they got spilled off my plate and onto the table and floor. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years,the food is good and the service is excellent! This visit the music was so loud you couldn't have a conversation without raising your voice!! Other than that, it was good!! read more

Had to call twice when ordered curve side whatever it's called.....order was made 45 mins ago. Would been ok if they don't give you the its almost ready but then take 15 more mins until it comes out. Sadly it's prob just best to just go inside I don't think anyone even watches for any orders that are curveside read more

I'm writing this review (again) in light of the fact that I'd gone there with my best friend, Evelyn, who was visiting from out-of-town and she'd never had Applebee's before. She stayed at the Travelodge by the HEB and after a late afternoon of swimming at their hotel pool, we decided to go somewhere and eat a-la booth-style. At this point, there weren't many places open (WHY, KILLEEN?!) and I scrounged around on the internet for a good twenty minutes until I saw that Applebee's was open until 2AM. SCORE! So we went to Applebees and conquered a booth. I know that sounded like we had an epic battle for the perfect booth seating, but really - we just kind of scuttled to a table and plopped down. Hence, conquered! Easily. Anyway, we ordered drinks and I let her know that one of the first things she needed to try was the Spinach Artichoke dip that came with tortilla chips. Evelyn is somewhat of an adventurer when it comes to food, so she was pretty gung-ho about trying the appetizer. I could probably recommend something truly disgusting and she'd probably trust my judgement on it, but in favor of the fact that she's my best friend and I would never recommend anything truly heinous to her palate, I knew she'd like it. I didn't, of course, count on just how much she was GOING to like it. I'm pretty sure she liked the appetizer better than the entree. She ate that bitch like she hadn't had a decent meal in years. I laughed at her but in all honesty, I did enjoy seeing her enjoy herself. She even devoured that shit later when we took it back to the hotel with us. I'm taking away two stars because a couple of nights later, we decided to go back and get some more food. Well, more like - she was seriously craving her some Spinach Artichoke dip and chips, so we high-tailed it back to Applebees. It was a little later at this point; it was maybe around one in the morning so we figured a good hour to go, we'd just get the food to go and bounce. Unfortunately, they had already closed the kitchen and wasn't serving anymore. What the hell, Applebee's? Your schedule said 2AM. That's 60 minutes after the time we got there, we still should have been able to get some food. MY BEST FRIEND NEEDS HER SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE. MAKE IT HAPPEN. Alas, fellow Yelpers, they were immuned to our pleas and sad Bambi eyes and turned us away. Evelyn went back to California without trying the dip one last time. Cue end credits, sad music. read more

The waiter "big James" amazing. Kept up with the group. All the orders were correct, even when it was time to split the bill amongst about 8 people. I went on a Wednesday it was $1 margarita day. I mean unless you really like the taste of salt I recommend getting sugar on the rim instead. Only because I can tell it got in the drink and for my second margarita it tasted like I was drinking salt. And my first one was with sugar on the rim and it tasted as it should. So that's my only heads up. Otherwise everything was great. I didn't order any food. My the people I was with seemed satisfied. read more

The food was whatever but the waitress was trash. Waitress was catching an attitude. It's not my fault your working Friday night with an attitude. We had to wait longer for the bill then the food which is sad. Overall I wish I could put a zero overall to busy :( read more

They got my order wrong and my food was not even ready when i got there and made me wait 20 minutes wasnt even busy

I was highly disappointed and dissatisfied this go around. Not only were we missing half our food when the food finally came out, our appetizers came out with our food. Then it took another hour and we finally just said we were ready to go because we still had not received our food that was missing. When we spoke to the manager, he was incredibly disrespectful and rude and did not want to give us a reasonable solution to our issues. Since Covid, they have switched staff quite a few times and this new staff is highly unprofessional. We will not be visiting with this establishment anymore. read more

Craving some food after we went swimming, my bestie checked for some places that were open to accommodate us. It was about 9pm and most places were closed, so thankfully Applebee's called out to us. Since they close at 2am, we had plenty of time to relax and hang out. I love the atmosphere when I walked in, and it was awesome to sit at the booth. I love to sit at the booth when given the opportunity. We ordered the appetizer, my favorite part about it is the creamy artichoke dip. Having never tried the dip before...well, more like never having gone to an Applebee's before made me want to go just for the dip alone. Yes, the way Applebee's made it to my heart was through the dip. The steak with shrimp I got was tasty, but the dip...memorable! Thanks for the memories! read more

This is my second time here since moving to Killeen. The first time was not worth me ever returning back, but today my son picked it, and waaay better customer service. The drinks and appetizer came in an orderly fashion and was on point. Not sure how you're supposed to tip, when you are waited on by multiple people, but hey. It gets the job done. The entrees were good, and the desert was okay. To me the appetizer was the best. Not to mention my perfect margarita!!! :) read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Appetizer sampler, yummy - American Near Me - Killeen, Texas

Just dined there tonight and it was awful. My husband and I came in with our two very young children, were seated immediately, and our server greeted us in fairly short time. That was nice. We ordered and our appetizer and the kid's food came out first. The appetizer wasn't that great tasting at all and the kid's were done eating (they're very slow eaters by the way) while my husband and I sat and waited for our food. The restaurant wasn't busy and or server was just standing around and talking the whole time. She told us it would be two more minutes for our food after waiting about 20-25 minutes from when our children finished eating. Finally, someone else ran our food out to us and we just asked for a box to go. Our children are very young (toddlers) so with it being almost 9:40 at night, we really couldn't wait any longer. She gave us our check and I took the kid's out to the car while my husband waited to pay. Finally, he came out and said a busboy asked him if he needed to pay his check. The busboy brought the receipt back to him. To summarize: The food isn't impressive The server seemed careless and/or lazy And no, we probably won't be coming back. I'm not usually someone that writes reviews (my last reviews were almost a year ago) but this put a damper on dinner time for myself my family. read more

I always have a good meal here. 2 for $20 is the best deal in town & $5.99 any burger & fries is awesome. Thick bacon, grilled onions.. Hands down better steaks than most places in Killeen. I love this place. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - $10 lunch, it was so tasty! I ate every bite. I've never had a bad steak here, always great service too. - American Near Me - Killeen, Texas

Terrible service. Sat at the bar had two drinks and food. The bar at no more than a total of five customers. Bartender forget my drink. I had to remind her. Didn't smile or hardly acknowledge me. read more

Late lunch at Applebee's in Killeen today. Ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken on the Lunch Special, which came with a side of seasoned rice. The service was extremely fast. I didn't ask, but the chicken tasted like it had been marinated. It was very flavorful and juicy. My server, Tonisha, was polite, friendly and very attentive but she never asked if I wanted a refill. Otherwise, I would have given this visit a 5. I saw some other dishes on the menu that I want to try when I go back. read more

The waitress was extremely rude waited 15 minutes to get a drink and over 45 minutes for the food said she was going to bring me a refill but walked by 6 times and had to ask again and she got a attitude about it read more

I generally like this place. I love their deal on alcohol. I mean really, $2 refillable margaritas? You can't top that. I got 5 plates, and 6 drinks and paid $55. You can't beat that. Quality of food is questionable, but you get what you pay for. Good thing about here is that you get a good quantity for what you pay for, like more than enough. Good for football, too. Not too stressful, not too much hustle and bustle. Overall, I like it. read more

So we went on a friday without reservations which is always a wait at restaurants. BUT they had no ability to coordinate their waiting list different people kept coming up to everyone asking names because the list kept going missing. When they did finally seat us the table was disgusting and they did not even pretend to clean underneath it. We watched them flip it. It's an applebee's so you know what you're getting with the food, basic crappy chain food. We really just went for the drinks they're cheap and they taste cheap. A person in my party asked for BBQ sauce they didn't get it until we asked for the bill. They brought out the wrong dish for me entirely after a long wait they finally got it right. I got the four cheese pasta from the deals in back of menu. It tasted like watered down alfredo sauce. Not cheesy no flavor pretty repulsive honestly. They cooked the steak as they were supposed to but that's all I have. Service was mediocre at best even taking into consideration they were busy. I work in hospitality I get it but this was bad. read more

Horrible drunks. People fighting and puking in the parking lot at 6pm due to the fact bartender can't properly count drinks and serve them. I had to call the police on a drunk driver who literally hit someone's car in the parking lot and drove away. Applebees more like ghettobees read more

Went to applebee's last night , first time in awhile and it will be the last time I ever set foot in there. First salads were served on hot plates, one salad was sent back because the lettuce was old and all they did was cut the lettuce up and re-plate on a different plate, my salad had some brown spots on the lettuce and it looked like it was just thrown at the plate whoever made it has no pride in their work. Who checks the plates before they go to the table? apparently that person is too stupid or just doesn't care to make sure they look right. There were 3 steaks ordered with baked potatoes and the baked potatoes were ordered with just butter and sour cream which they didn't bring when the steaks came out, the steaks were ordered medium rare and medium well, one server took the order and 2 different ones brought our orders out, the lady that brought the steaks out was wearing a purple shirt and said here are the steaks I asked which one is medium rare and which is medium well ? she replied oh just cut into it and you will be able to tell. LOL what a complete BS answer a server bringing food to the table not knowing what seat it went to and what temp the steaks were. The wait staff was clueless and no sense of urgency and the table next to us had the same waitress and same problems, she seemed put out that she was having to work. LOL we went to pay the bill and were told if we were paying by card we had to use the machine on the table we got a 2 second explanation of how to use it and she walked off. I almost forgot I had the loaded shrimp fajitas and they were bland ! I had to load them up with salt and pepper to make them edible they were not seasoned at all, I have worked as a cook and a sous chef I have an associates degree in culinary arts and I am working on a bachelor's degree in culinary and restaurant management, I know it gets really busy in a kitchen at times and there is a lot going on but there is no excuse for bland food coming out of a kitchen especially when your staff knows it is wrong. If it were up to me most of the staff in there would be fired for not caring about the food they put out and for having no sense of urgency. I guess applebee's fell into the same thing that most restaurants fall into in Killeen is that you hire people that don't care or kids that don't know anything and you don't train them or you hire butter heads to manage these places and they won't or can't fix anything because they just don't care either. read more

We had to flag down a waiter to even order our drinks. It took 30 minutes for them to bring food out, and our entrées came out before our appetizers!! So I will not be coming back to eat here. read more

Wouldnt give 1 star. TABC law says they take up alcohol 15 after close and they took my nearly full beer before then. No warning what so ever. I'm not mad just disappointed. read more

Our family have never felt discriminated in our whole lives until we went to this Applebees. We had the rudest server name Tatannia that night. She gave us the stinkiest look as if we don't belong there. We ordered our food and waited. She gave us our food without any silverware to eat with. We waited for more than 10minutes for silverware until she showed up. Mind you our food has gotten cold...ugh. We asked her for silverware and she said they are short of workers to role up silverware if we would settle for plastic forks and spoons. I said, "Just give us something to use," hoping she would use her brain and give us good silverware like every other customer in the restaurant was getting except for us. She actually came back with plastic forks and knives and gave it to us. Oh no! I told her again, "Are you serious?!" And she asked again with the rudest look on her face, "Did you want me to go role you guys some forks in the napkins?" That was it for me. I got up and asked for the manager. Really bad service. Never have I ever been treated terribly in a restaurant before until we went to this Applebees. read more

I'm being pretty generous with the two stars. And it's only because the staff was polite, which even that should be a norm anyway. The food was awful. We got the two for 20 and paid the extras to get the steak. Asked for medium and got well done. The steak was nasty it tasted like it was cooked on a dirty grill and I couldn't even finish it. My pink lemonade was a powder mix and my husbands beer was flat. The only good thing was the fries. The artichoke dip was very mediocre as well. Worst $40 I spent on a meal and I won't be returning. There are many other similar restaurants with better food quality. read more

I usually love going to applebee's, but the service was so horrible, I'll never ever eat there again. The girls at the door seated parties before us, when we spoke up the manager all he had to say was "we called you"... uh no you didn't. He put us in the smoking even though we asked for non. Then our waitress forgets appetizers and my meal, it was just awful, and they made no effort to make it right. read more

What a joke.... super sad.... food took forever our server gave us no attention and we were waites on by other staff members. Food was nasty. Noodles were chewy and xols. Mozzarella sticks were cold cheese wasnt melted. Ribs tasted horrible. Didnt finish pur food about to go to walmart and pick up something. read more

I love Applebee's for two things. Their steak and parmesan shrimp, and the spinach artichoke dip. I have to say I've never been to a restaurant before where the waitress takes everyone's order and doesn't write it down, but remembers every single detail you told her. She even remembered to bring me lemons for my water! (Which by the way, no one has ever remembered the first time I asked). She was cute and very polite as well. I loved the food and the service here. A+ from me . read more

Never really been a big fan of Applebee's food and the Killeen location is no different! The food is mediocre & the staff can be hit or miss!! I do like their cheap bar drinks & half priced appetizers after 10pm.. Today I discovered how good their Maple Blondie dessert is; simply scrumptious!! read more

My chicken was undercooked and fatty. Then it tasted rubbery. The chicken in an MRE is better than that. Then it was 15 bucks and I only got a water and my entree read more

Service is slow, the food is barely edible. My pasta was cold and the Cesar salad was dry, no dressing!

It was good for Applebee's. The food was good and came out hot. Only complaint I had was it seemed like they were really understaffed. The hostess seemed really stressed out, so did the waitresses. We saw maybe 3 different tables complain to the manager that night. Overall they just seemed disorganized. read more

First let me start off by saying it's not busy in here right now. We arrived round 5 pm. We order the 8oz steak with steamed veggies, the $29 dollar meal deals. Almost 20 waiting, finally gets here my steak looks good but has a bad burnt taste, now my husband steak is flat and charcoal and the mushrooms are cold! We wait 10mins I finally got up and took the food to the waiter and waited another 20 mins for another steak that was full of fat. The manager takes that back and says she will cook it her self. 10 mins and I'm still waiting to eat dinner. It is now 6:25!!! And still no food. Just got my first refill of tea!!! This is the worst place to ever come eat. Never never again will I do this. read more

Ordered the fried shrimp with fries and coleslaw and it was horrible. The shrimp was really greasy, the coleslaw tasted like they dumped a few cups of sugar in that tiny bowl I had and when i ordered lemon for my shrimp there was a hair in it.... that made me completely lose my appetite. The service wasn't too bad except that the server kept pushing me to get an entree that I didn't want and even when I said no he still tried to push for it which got annoying. I don't recommend eating here and I will not be going back. read more

Written on behalf of my dad, who is a hermit by the way. Came out to watch the playoffs and he was thoroughly impressed with the service. Didn't hurt that the general manager is also a Seahawks fan! Great, very welcoming staff. read more

Tried the new spinach and artichoke chicken cavatappi pasta. The spinach was over cooked to the point of very crispy and there was no artichoke to be found in the entire dish. Only three strips of chicken. Don't waste your money ordering. read more

Worst experience at a applebee's ever!!!! Sat at my table for over a 20 mins before someone came. Sat there another hr before he even took our order. We could have gotten up and left and no one would have noticed. No refills, no hello are you guys alive just nothing. Just terrible service, bad business practices all around read more

This is absolutely my husbands and I go to spot when I am too tired or too busy to cook! The two for 20 is just perfect more than enough food for you to be full! Our car side to go service has always been spectacular! read more
