Applebees in Lancaster SC went down hill during Covid and in 2024 they still have not improved . Rumor has it they hired a new manager so we decided to give it another try . . I have to say they did improve . It's no longer a hang out for employees children , the food has improved along with the service . They do have to do better on cleaning the bathrooms . Don't know if it was just a bad day . The bathroom was a turn off to where I wouldn't want to go back . They need to do better in that . Also their no gun allowed sign is not on there door and it's is faded read more

Complete BS. I keep giving this place a second try, might as well blow this s hole up and put in a Texas Roadhouse. Terrible staff and terrible food. Bathrooms smell like urine. What a shame to the owner of the crap hole. Workers don't care at all. Spent my last dime here and I'll be calling my credit card charges fraud to get a refund for the crappy food read more

I haven't had Applebees in years and usually haven't had good experiences, but I decided to give this one in Lancaster a try. Unfortunately I was once again reminded why I hardly eat here. I ordered curbside and that was the only positive about the location. I had my food in less than 5 minutes and the waitress who delivered it to me was very kind and appreciative. Sadly the food did not reflect the service. I got a classic cheeseburger and fries. The fries were very overdone, stale, and had a bitter aftertaste. I can only assume this was partly due to the oil they were fried in not being fresh. The burger patty itself was ok and had decent flavor but the toppings were wilted and didn't taste fresh such as the lettuce and tomato. I only finished it because I was hungry and didn't want to go back out. I would probably not return to this location. If you're looking to simply satisfy your hunger it'll do the job, but don't expect anything above average if that. read more

We went here one night after working and decided to try their menu since it's been years since we've been. It was ok the service was fine but the food was just ok. The boneless wings aren't very good being kinda dry but the honey pepper sauce is good. Mainly too sweet would be better if it was hot. The bourbon chicken was really juicy and the shrimp were tender too, the steak how ever was tough and not very flavorful. If you order here don't get the steak, go for the chicken but not the boneless wings. read more

Sooo disappointed. We usually order carry out - NOTHING IS EVER CORRECT!!! Is seems pretty simple look at what we've ordered and prepare and pack. Ugh. Please Applebees get your act together. Don't go anywhere until you verify you have the correct order. read more

Friendly staff and great food even when you request specific orders not in the menu the managers will ensure you are happy! It's the only place in Lancaster you can go late night and have fun!! read more

Walked in was not greeted sat myself when the waitress came over I asked for a beer she processed to bring the beer bottle set in on the table with no glass and ignored me. read more

My mom and I had dinner here a few nights ago. She had the fish and chips (YUM) and I had the smoked salmon with broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes. The food was very delicious!! Our service was excellent!! We felt comfortable and at Home! Looking forward to our next visit! Kudos!! read more

This Applebees location is disgusting, everything we ordered was nasty even down to the drinks everything they gave us tasted microwaved, me and my wife will not be going back EVER!! Wish I could give them no stars. read more

Haven't had Applebees in years & decided to give it a chance with my boyfriend. We were immediately sat by a kind man in the corner of the restaurant. After 15 minutes our waitress came to get our drink orders and we went ahead and ordered food as well. My boyfriend got a soda and I decided to get a drink at the bar. We received our appetizer and meal before I ever received my drink. I was not even offered a water in the meantime. When I kindly asked about my drink order, the waitress replied with "the bartender is talking so..." and the waitress walked away. My boyfriend and I shared his soda and we both finished our appetizer and meal. It has now been 45 minutes since I initially gave her my drink order and there were only 5 other couples in the restaurant at the time and 6 waitresses. The place was not busy at all. I told the waitress to cancel my drink order where she states that it's now ironically "on the bar and ready to be served" I told her to cancel the order. I have never been to a restaurant and never received a drink the entire meal. This was the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Do not come here. The waitress even tried to keep the drink on the bill and no manager was in sight. Don't bring anyone you care about here. read more

the food was decent. me and my family waited an hour before we got our appetizers. then once me and my grandfather got our food it wasnt the best quality. my father and grandmother waited for another 30 minutes before their food came. then they had to wait for french fries and ended up not getting them. the servers were great! but management was horrible. the manager sat at a table on her phone while the cooks and the servers struggled. read more

There service is becoming more and more horrible. Having to sit and wait for more than 30-40 mins just to get our appetizers and none of them check on you read more

Was there October 20th Had the brisket tacos and haven't been able to trust a fart since. Seriously, nothing but water coming out from my rear end. I should've known better. I blame myself for ordering food from a place like that right before they closed. Agggrrrr read more

Got car side to go. Service was awful. I had to go Inside & waited a few minutes before the 2 people staring at the screen for placing orders acknowledged me. I must have been in there for 10 minutes and these 2 people were STILL TRYING TO ENTER THEIR ORDERS! The 3 cheese chicken pasta has changed. It's awful. The spinach dip had s strange odor to it & didn't taste very good, the chips were super greasy. Pretty sure I am now done with this location. They need a lot of improvement all over the place- management, service, kitchen read more

Our server, Kaitlyn W was amazing! She was friendly and efficient! We appreciated great service and a good meal.

I tried it one more time (well almost tried it) after a few years. Several years ago my wife and I got up and left that dump in the middle of our meal. The waitress answered a text while we were ordering. Food came out wrong ( no surprise) cold and gross. We left! So, after the years past i wanted to give it another chance. While getting out of my truck, I saw two employees smoking pot in a car in the parking lot. Went inside and waited to be seated. I saw food on the floor , wallpaper torn, hanging off the wall. People holding their hands up trying to get service. While employees gathered at the bar laughing and ignoring customers. I turned and left again. Never again. Classless, trashy , unprofessional worst restaurant I've ever been in. read more

If I could give no stars I would. Order was wrong and not suitable so burger ordered instead. Waitress said it was being comped but not the burger-- the one they got wrong in the first place. She had an attitude about the "inconvenience." Also no drink refills. Thumbs down. Waffle House would beSt this. read more

Its Okay depending on what you order. Mixed drinks, Dont waste your money. And i hope you can hold it because every time ive been to the bathroom smell is disgusting. You can smell it before you get there. read more

Hostess was very nice! Waitress service suck! Food still terrible! No alcohol for the drink I ordered! Why not build a Chilies Resturant or TGIF or Ruby Tuesday. At least it would be a step up. read more

If you want an undersized portion of overly-salted food served by a waiter who couldn't care less, look no further! This is the closest restaurant to my house but I still avoid it like the plague. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is that the blondie dessert is pretty good. It is literally the only thing this restaurant has going for it. read more

Management sucks! Thieves and liars! They bring chicken in place of steak and then say that is what i ordered. Called corporate office and was only offered an Applebee's gift card for a future meal. Really??? After I had to call the police to get my debit card back because the manager refused to give it back to me and my wife. I will never eat at any Applebee's restaurant again. I only rated one star because that is as low as it would take. This place needs to be closed. By the way, the meal was charged to my debit card without my consent and was not given a receipt. read more

I love apple bees it's so good the people were nice and the bathrooms was clean and the food was fresh and hot!!!!!!

We visited this Applebees at about 7:30 on a Friday night. It was moderately busy, but they were able to seat us immediately. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and both the appetizer and food came out quickly. We selected the "2 for $25" deal, which is a very good deal, btw. You get an appetizer along with a selection of several of the normal entrees. Just pick two of them. I had the 6 oz. sirloin, and my wife had the half rack of ribs. The sirloin seems like more than 6 ounces. It filled me up. Both meals were good. We were very satisfied. I had looked at the media device on the table, thinking it was a trivia game like you see in some restaurants and bars. Although I didn't play the trivia game, whatever I did caused it to add $2 to our bill. Their billing system wouldn't allow them to take it off the check, but the Manager came and handed me two bucks. No fuss. We stopped and chatted with the General Manager (Frank), and the hostess on the way out, and told them we'll definitely be back. They were friendly and interested in the conversation. Very pleasant. read more

Very poor service. 6 staff members on their phones with maybe 4 customers. Staff just stared without any greeting. Women's bathroom not clean and in poor repair. Toilet paper holder came apart. Floor dirty. They had time to clean for sure read more

It's just simply terrible. The service and food have reached an all time low to where the depths of hell wouldn't even think about consumption. For whatever reason I talk myself into giving them another shot, not anymore. I had the worst ribs I have ever eaten last night. They were dry and tuff with the meat being practically obsolete from the meal. NEVER AGAIN read more

We went in and the hostest "iesha" had absolutely no personality she didn't even greet us or say hi she just looked at us and started walking with menus, then we were sat down and sat there for 20 minutes without anyone coming to ask if we wanted drinks or anything. After that our service was okay and the food was good. Felt like our server was a little distracted but we just ate and left. Usually this Applebee's is good but this time it was not a good experience, may not be returning for a while. read more

It's an Applebee's. There is a smoking section! One of the most popular spots in Lancaster, according to locals.

I felt like I was in the movie "Waiting." The bar staff consisted of two unattractive, overweight girls who slugged along the bar and complained to each other about how much they wished they were still on vacation and rolled their eyes whenever somebody needed something. I ordered a beer and the girl rolled her eyes and tolled me that I'd be better off ordering a bottle because the draft beer sucked. I ordered a burger and it was ok. There is a smoking section in the middle of the restaurant which is kind of weird, but then I'm from Colorado where it has been illegal for several years. I left the restaurant feeling depressed. read more

Your typical Applebees but in the country!!!! Good service and great because there was a graduation in the area. It is across from the Super 8 so that helps!!!! read more

Worst food & service I've ever had 3 times in a row . I plan on never eating at any applebees ever again.

We chose this place so we could get fresh vegetables for the kids in our group. The quality of this food was worse than any bar I've been to. The grilled chicken on my salad wasn't sliced chicken. It looked more like some kind of processed chicken-like food. Our kids LOVE veggies. But, these were so bland, they wouldn't eat them. It was also cold enough to hang meat in this place. Will NEVER go back. I can open up a can of food and zap it without freezing as I wait read more

This is by far the worst Applebee's I've ever been to terrible service didn't have things on menu

Worst service ever. Our food took an hour and the restaurant was empty!!! We ordered An apple fritter and when it came out 25 minutes later it was rock solid! The waitress was so slow with everything and the food sucked. My brothers chicken tenders tasted like seafood and they were inedible my grandparents were astonished at the lack of professionalism and food quality at this place. I work in a restaurant myself so I understand that not every night is going to be perfect but tonight just ticked me off so much. I ordered the 3 cheese penne pasta with chicken but what I got served was hard Alfredo pasta with crunchy chicken on top. The manager was no help and the waitress looked and sounded like she couldn't give a crap less about her job. read more

I've been here for the past 6 months for work and have eaten here at least once a week. Tonight will be the last night. The quality of food as well as service has reached rock bottom. Save your money eat somewhere else read more

This a hit or miss. Some days the service and food are great. However, recently the service was slow, they forgot about our appetizers, and bought them out with our meal. No lie our food came close to an hour later. It was the worse and it wasn't even packed. Go to the one in rock hill. read more
