    Empty table no food
    Gabe C.

    I ordered my all you can eat meal with high expectations, I was highly disappointed. The food took so long I was considering eating the gum stuck on the bottom of the tables as I'm writing this I still haven't got my food. You could probably door dash the food 10 times faster.

    I am no fan of Applebee's but this one is much, much cleaner and more up to date compared to the one near where I live. I wasn't hungry but he wanted to get an appetizer. I said I will go and drink. I drank some new Busch beer. It was my first time trying it and well....it was ok. (They have a limited beer selection) He got a quesadilla and I did not want to try it. Not sure why, but quesadillas are not my thing. Plus, I was real full. Well, my Dad ate the whole thing so I guess he liked it. Our server was super cool. He had a unique name that started with a D, and I can't remember now. Anyway, there was actually a 30 minute wait when we got there but I think we got sat faster. I overheard someone say this store was remodeled a couple years ago. It looked pretty nice for an Applebee's.

    Food: 4 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 4 This restaurant is situated on Columbia Ave in the heart of Lexington, SC and very easy to find. We decided to go there yesterday (11/11/2022) for dinner, because one of us was a Veteran. This Applebees restaurant was honoring the Veterans, with a free entree meal from a special selection. We had no issues with parking because they have a large parking lot. Upon entering we noticed that they had "A Fallen Soldier's Table" and you could that they definitely support the military services. We was quickly greeted by a friendly staff, and if you were a Veteran with identification than you were given a special menu, $5 gift card, and raffle ticket.  Applebee's menu has many options for steaks, chicken, pasta, seafood, salads, and a wide drink selection. We decided to sit at the bar for faster seating,  and our bartender was very attentive and very friendly. We had to pay for the extra stuff we order, such as drinks, appetizer, and one entree. The drinks were very affordable and definitely top shelf and not water down. We had an issue with one of our meals, but our bartender resolved this issue and removed it from the bill. So the customer service was very professional and drama FREE. We don't usually usually review chain franchise restaurants, but because we received exceptional customer service I really wanted to share our experience. I'm positive that we will be back in near future, and I would highly recommend this Applebees restaurant location!!!

    Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp
    Jeffrey J.

    Haven't been here in a few years decided to check it out again. The last time I have been here it was not good at all . They have gotten better since then it wasn't very crowded at all I went here on a Saturday evening . I had the. Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp. It was on the 2 for 30 menu it also included one appetizer to share or two side salads. I had the side salad which was good. The main meal The Bourbon Street chicken was good as well just seem to be fairly small for what I was expecting for a 2 for 30 meal. They also included in on the regular menu for $14.49 just for the meal not any appetizers or side salad. They also have other specials on the menu in categories of three things which includes two for $25 or two for $27. The waitress that we had was very pleasant and attentive to the table the meal took a little bit longer than expected but it was all good. The place was clean and organized. I would go back but probably would just order off the regular menu instead of the special

    Management is everything to a place. This is no exception. I believe his name was Jim. Grey short hair and well groomed face. Super outgoing and just as nice a person/manager as you'll find. Good cold beer and the Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli is fantastic. I'm not joking. Ask for it soupy(trust me)with a complimentary breadstick. If something is wrong,don't hesitate to ask them to make it right. About the only place around to get a cocktail or a beer or 2. Not a bad place and I promise you I'm not a huge fan of Applebees,but this location does a good job!

    Rare steak

    Service was exceptional HOWEVER when my food came out I cut my steak and it was nearly rare! I don't have the time to send it back! I have a long day planned and now I'll be hungry.

The pretzels were fresh and savory and the Harp Lager Beer Cheese was the perfect pair to complement the pretzels. For my main course, I went with my ole faithful Irish pub meal, Fish N' Chips. I will honestly say, this was one of my favorite Fish N' Chips meals in America. I have tried Fish N' Chips while traveling in Ireland and the Fish N' Chips from O'Hara's is a solid second behind that. Our server was attentive and helped navigate us through the menu. The ambiance was that of a proper Irish Pub. Overall, I will give say O'Hara's was a PHENOMENAL choice for dinner. I will highly recommend to others who may be visiting the area.

Now mind you there were a lot of empty tables with "reserved" on them at that point. Fast forward an hour later, because we didn't get a txt from them, we went in to see what the story was. They proceeded to tell us it would be another 30 minutes. Also the seats that had "reserved" on them were still empty! They said they would take care of us, and walked us over to the bar side, and told us we would have to stand at the counter to eat! I was fuming. The other three from my party walked out, while i proceeded to tell the manager this was extremely poor service! All he could say was they were busy. I pointed out the empty tables that were empty when we first walked in an hour ago and are still empty! They finally gave us one of those tables. We were out in an hour and guess what ...... there were still empty tables with "reserved" on them! Would NOT recommend this place to anyone! My suggestion is to go someplace else!! Like I said, our waitress was extremely nice and couldn't apologize enough.

This was better than my wife's order of tri tip, which was much more like roast beef. We are both of the mind that sometimes mistakes can be opportunities so we just accepted it without complaint. It wasn't bad, but it was. Just ok. So overall, the experience was simply just that. Ok.... $50 of ok. I just don't make enough to have $50 ok experiences.
