While passing through town for the night, our dining options were very limited. It was late, we were exhausted, and we needed a quick meal, so we decided to stop here. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. Our server, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, was a young man who was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He understood exactly what we needed--a quick and efficient dining experience--and delivered excellent service. The only disappointment was the limited selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options. I wish the menu catered to a wider variety of dietary preferences. That said, our salads were fresh and tasty, and the great service made for an enjoyable experience overall. read more

Service was horrible! We pulled up to order and their order system didn't work. It was on a continual loop. My husband had to go in to order and there was no one there to take our order. So he waited, no ambiance at all as there was no one there but another customer also waiting. The food not as usual! Every time we get fish and chips they change the batter and it's so greasy! The fries were looking like had been sitting for hours. The Caesar Salad was only half full and more croutons than lettuce! The coleslaw containers were only half full. I'm disappointed and furious that our bill was $41+ and they had to go back as they neglected some of the order. We got ketchup with our order but no vinegar. Which is common if using ketchup. And most infuriating is that the girl who delivered it literally checked to see what her tip was and obviously not happy. But we did most of the running back and forth. No tip given. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Fish and Chips with tarter. I gave my coleslaw to my husband to give him a full tiny little container of coleslaw. - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

The new 2/25 menu has been expanded and lots of choices. My sirloin was cooked just right I love the steamed broccoli my favorite with the garlic potatoes and an appetizer spinach dip. I get them to bag up the appetizer for me. To take home and I have it for dinner Paulette always say no Problem. In fact Paulette is our favorite waitress there and always deserves a good tip for her awesome service. Oh husband got the ribs he said they were very good too. The Applebee's on Hickory is our go to. read more

Hi I have only had the 2 half slabs of there barbecue ribs, and they are great, in fact there probably the second best in Las Cruces, be sure to get them with no sauce, put there sauce on as you eat them, really good, we have them thru door dash because they are fast. The best place to get barbecue for us is the airport outside of Las Cruces, it's about a ten minute drive, be sure to get some jalapeño hot beans, and there corn in a pint cup, you can thank me later, 5 star's all the way, be sure to call ahead of time to make sure they have the food you want, and they will hold it for you !!! read more

On Thursday, 3/13, we stopped in after being on the road all day. The service was good. The food was good, but my Bacon Cheddar Chicken Sandwich was scalding hot. When I initially bit into it, the juices from the sandwich squirted out and burnt a part of my face. Even after letting it sit and then cutting up the sandwich, it remained too hot to eat. I know this is odd to report, but I'd be careful about ordering their fried food. Something is up with the fryer since the food never cooled off enough to enjoy. Pic shows burn mark 4 days later. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Half slab, fries, house salad, large beer. - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Went to eat Saturday the 9th of August. Ordered the 2 for 25. I had the half ribs, and my wife had the chicken Parmesan. The ribs were very dry and the chicken Parmesan was tasteless. The only thing that was good was the artichoke and chips. We frequent that restaurant very often and were very disappointed. The waitresses did not bother to bring the manager to voice our opinion. Very disappointed. read more

Pretzels were good. Beer was cold. The chicken mac n cheese was missing cheese. The bartender was nice at most. Sports on tv. Nothing special :( read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - a bottle of ultra - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

We've been patrons of this Applebees for over 20 years. We find ourselves visiting less and less as time goes simply because of the service has declined. I know businesses are struggling to find good employees all over the country. But it's hard to continue to go to places like this when the servers are so bad. We used to loved Applebees & even met my wife at this location which why we go so often. But lately we've been going elsewhere simply based on the service being so bad. Hopefully upper management steps in & retools the staff. We waited 30 minutes and never once saw our server. We just got up and left. We don't think anyone even noticed we did. read more

Service was good. Food was not as good as Applebee's usually is. The quesadilla salad almost too spicy to eat, and the lettuce was watery. Very unpleasant. read more

Nice place for a weekend happy hour (3:00-7:00). Decent amount of people but only a few remain after HH. Beers on tap or bottled however they don't carry Miller Lite on tap. read more

Came in on Mother's Day 2022 when several of the Applebee's staff called out sick for various reasons. Regardless... The staff that came to work, were working hard to ensure all patrons enjoyed their holiday celebration. Thank you, thank you to the bartender--apologies for not catching your name--and to all the managers, and server staff. Other Applebee's patrons please be kind, to those that have to take time away from their families to work. It was Nice Talking To the other patrons at the bar and staff; we enjoyed the nice conversation(s) over the Kentucky Derby and the other weekend sporting events. The Food was exceptional as always...even though the kitchen was understaffed, due to the holiday. Thank you Applebee's Las Cruces.. keep up the good work! #NiceTalkinToYa read more

The steak that i ordered was pretty good, but the 4 cheese mac & cheese that my bf ordered was not good. The chicken was overcooked, could barely be cut with a knife. The alfredo sauce was tasteless as if it was just cheese and water. Our server (Sav) was amazing and attentive. The restaurant was a little messy. My chair was sticky and had a big rip in it. Overall, we'd still go back haha but could use some improvements. read more

Bad server from the start, taking our order to talking to other people. Waited almost 45 minutes to get our meal, asked to have it boxed cause we lost to much time. Restaurant manager looked at us funny when we told him to just make it to go. Like he was in a hurry to drop off plates to us. Never got refills or offered any. Still got charged full price. Poor service and staff (Amanda) needs to take care of all there tables the same. Definitely won't be back to this location read more

Bleh!!! And they didn't accept the $10 Gift Card I got when I bought a $50 one. Horrible!!!

My husband and I ate dinner at this Applebees because it was close to our Hampton Inn hotel in Las Cruces. Our waitress and her service were top notch. She was very thorough and attentive. She was busy handling a lot of tables but that was no problem for her. We did the 2 for $25 dinner. We had a shared spinach & artichoke dip appetizer, the chicken tenders platter and an oriental chicken salad. Dip was good. Chicken salad was good. My chicken tenders were a little over cooked, and not very tender. Check out was fast and easy. read more

I went to the bar to sit down for lunch. No bartender had to wait, what seemed like 10 minutes. Then the bartender wasn't even accommodating I had to ask for everything. Like my eating utensils and napkins to start. Hoping to have better luck when I submit a table next time not real happy with the service to start off. read more

I mean, it's just another Applebee's, but it was pretty dirty. They need new carpets here and the tables need a good cleaning around all the endives, not just the top. I got a chicken sandwich with fries. As for service, I asked for mao and the server gave me an empty bottle... other than that, I thought the service was attentive and very nice. It's not the service that gets this low grade! read more

Decent food and a fun place. Great bartenders and a fun friendly crowd make it a nice stop. Service is good and prices decent

This Applebees location is so good! Just stoped in on a Friday night. Great service from servers and hostesses. Our food came up fast, hot, and very tasty. I haven't been to one this good ever! Also a side note it was not too loud. We could converse with ease at our table read more

Regarding the manager's response. I do not believe talking with me further will help with anything. Many similar complaints can be found here that go back for years with the canned managerial response of "sorry for your experience, thank you for your feedback so that we can address your concerns", yet the same issues keep happening. read more

I hadn't seen an Applebees in a while. Used to think service and food were great. Tell me why do waitress get pissy when you're not seated in "their" assigned location. Should they take it out on the customer or management? This waitress was hard to find. Nobody came around to check on us. Fill water. She had a problem with a substitution I had. She didn't mention you could use the bill receipt to scan the code she just set it upside down on table. And I had to have my card ready because you wouldn't see her again. The other table recognized that too. The mashed potatoes were cold and the blackened salmon was dry. The coleslaw was questionable. The same basket ball game was on all the monitors. It's like nobody gave a darn. My wife's salad with chicken was dry and tasteless. read more

Was not treated properly, bartender was too busy on her personal phone call to serve me properly. Did not tell me about any specials nor bring a menu until I asked. 9:30 p.m. and the restaurant was not busy on Saturday night. Will not return. read more

I don't come here for steaks or Mexican food. I come here for a beer and the 2 item build your own app deal. For about $20 after work you can have a brew with a friend and grab a bite before you go someplace else for dinner or head home to fix something. $10 for some mozzarella sticks with really good marinara and some of their chicken wonton tacos - which are remarkably good - make for a nice little bite with a good beer. Their bar has about everything and their sangria is decent. It's pretty clean and the service is usually spot on. read more

People writing these reviews need to chill way out. This is a nice restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I saw employees sweeping, smiling and serving food. My food was good, came out quick and my server was friendly. It's Applebee's not Gordon Ramsey Steak House, people. read more

No service, no servers. Restaurant less than 50% capacity, and ask for seating for one. "Gonna be a 20 minute wait." Figured I'd save them the effort and left. read more

Ya just can't go wrong w Applebee's. While traveling thru and staying at the Hampton Inn down the street....this Applebee's hit the spot. Wanted a sit down dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the bourbon street grilled chicken and shrimp. It came out sizzling HOT and yummy. I also took advantage of their drink special, margarita in a mug for $2 bucks. Can't beat it. Service, once I got service was good. It just took awhile for someone to come to the table. Fairly priced. The bar was packed. read more

Slow service, cold food! Only positive, cold beer. Had Prime Rib Dip meat was tough and over cooked, au jus would have been great if hot and could be served as a French Onion Soup if croutons and cheese were added . They served my original order to another customer and had to remake. read more

Worst Applebee's I've ever been to. We were a group of three adults and three children, two are toddlers. For some reason, it took two people to bring us menus and silverware. Then both left and one came back later to take our order. My granddaughter and I ordered the garlic sirloin skillet, medium rare, and then we waited for the food for 45 minutes. When it finally came, there were four servers carrying plates for one table and they kept setting the hot dishes in front of my 18 month old grandson before one of us would grab it so he wouldn't hurt himself. Thankfully, they were smart enough to not do the same with the sizzling skillets although one of them passed my granddaughter's burning hot, sizzling skillet directly over her head to place it in front of her. That could have been disastrous. Then, we ate. The steaks were overcooked although the flavor was good, the broccoli was actually amazing, but the mashed potatoes were actually rancid and tasted and smelled like fish. I'm guessing rancid garlic oil? Neither of us could eat it. We didn't bother mentioning anything because we didn't want a Three Stooges repeat. Also, the section they sat us in smelled like poo. Actual poo. The best part of the whole experience was the rainbow we got to see through the window. It was terrible and we'll go to the other Applebee's from now on. read more

The food was as good as it could get a applebee's but I was excited that they have updated their 2 for $20 specials. As expected! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - The bar - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Forgot that I was even there with my service dog at my table and I was ignored for almost 30 minutes. I needed to flag several waitresses in order to get a menu. When I asked if my service dog could have a piece of meat that was being returned by a customer and subsequently thrown out, a manager told the waitress that I would have to pay full price for it. FULL PRICE FOR A PIECE OF SCRAP MEAT..... read more

Went for early dinner - busy but still got excellent service from the waiter and management. Cannot beat the 2 entree one appetizer special! Great size portions- had a great dinner and walked out with 2 more meals for $25 read more

Great place very friendly. The fajitas were awesome. It was a short distance from my Hotel and they always have the best salads. But the fajitas looked so good with all the fixings. Good place and fast service read more

Establishment nasty. Paper, cups, food, all on the floor in the bar area. Countertops filled with food and drinks from previous customers. I wouldn't eat here. Straight health hazard. Walked in saw area and walked straight back out. Management and staff should be ashamed.. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Awful place... go somewhere else. We arrived and it was slow... told there would be a twenty minute wait, when the twenty minutes passed we asked the hostess and she said we still had another ten minutes till the twenty which wasn't true, turned into 40 and we finally left. They never came to check on us... they didn't care. New parties walking in and getting seated. Rude hostess read more

Would give it zero stars if possible. Food was completely tasteless. Won't be going back

Terrible service and can't seem to get your order right Bartender too busy chatting Used to be very good here I guess new staff But on a Friday night Give me a break read more

After driving all day and then finding my that my previous go-to restaurant in Las Cruces has closed (sad face!), I thought I was going to eat my arm, and pulled into Applebee's because it was the only non-fast-food place open near my hotel. I normally avoid chains such as this like the plague, and was reminded why tonight. I can't believe people eat this food. Blech! Nothing, absolutely nothing, on that menu looked appetizing. My arm was looking better and better. As I "ate" a glass of awful, overpriced wine (what kind self-respecting restaurant has multiple varieties of white Zinfandel on their drink menu, btw?! Thankfully they have a few reds...), I figured chicken quesadillas and a side salad couldn't be mangled *too* badly. Wrong. The chicken was dry, there was hardly any cheese (isn't that the defining characteristic of a quesadilla?), and the salsa was literally right out of a jar. And my salad? Some lettuce, shredded cheese, and about a 1/2 can of Bacos bacon bits. All I have to say is I'm glad there's a McDonald's drive thru next door. Fries. Get the fries. The two stars? They're for Miguel, my server. He was super nice and attentive. Skip this place though, and find food elsewhere, even if it's a drive thru. read more

People are giving 4 and 5 star ratings to Applebees? Really? Do you people work for them or something? Paid to shill for them? Here's the story...went to Applebees and ordered a chicken fried steak. Got a processed pre-breaded meat patty. It was disgusting. The service was terrible also. 1 star, and they don't even deserve that. read more

If you are going to this location, there is an 90% chance that you are dying from hunger after driving for hours through the ass-end of nowhere. We arrived here after we decided it was the only non-fast food restaurant open at 8:30pm in this town. right away and were told "Adam" would be our waiter. He took our drink order and asked if we were ready to order seconds after we slid into our seats. We said we needed another minute and then proceeded to wait over 15 minutes while we watched Adam carry out other people's food, do several trips to the table behind us, and shamelessly flirt with the 21 year old hostess, all while never once glancing over at our closed menus, piercing stares and hand waving. I even got the attention of an old man at the bar who noticed that Adam was not as helpful as he could be. So long story short, we don't know how the food is at Applebee's in Las Cruces. We ended up at the McDonalds drive thru next door. But I'm guessing that since it's corporate food, you know what you're getting. There were a lot of folks in there who look like they "eat well" so I'm sure you're in good hands so long as you're ordering from one of the non-dopey staff. read more
