This outlet was located in gateway mall opposite laughing crab Staff were friendly and nice. Hubby and I were seated immediately. Hubby ordered lemondade and I ordered prickly pear iced tea. Drinks were delicious and even thoughthey were busy. Drinks were prompt. We ordered the Ultimate Trio to share. You get to choose 3 appetisers to pair with 3 sauces. We picked chicken wanton tacos, riblets in asian chile sauce, and onion rings. Wanton tacos were delicious. Fried wanton skin as the shell, chicken slices and asian sauce on it with shredded cabbage/lettuce( i wasn't sure which except it tasted exceptionally good). Onion rings were battered and fried- you could see the onion petals in it. Delicious and fresh. Not overly greasy. Riblets were well executed- despite thin meat but i would order it again. Meat was still succulent. Our server checked on us every 15 minutes or so. We will be back. read more

Me and my buddy went to Apple bees, we didn't have a great experience. We showed up ready to get all you can eat riblet's because we called ahead and they said they still had it. Upon arrival, we were very disappointed. We were forced to sit at the bar, which clearly upset the not so busy bartender. We sat down and order the all you can eat, to which he told us there's more all you can eat forever at that location, even though the lady on the phone clearly told us there was. He got very short with us and told us he was sorry they didn't have it anymore, and if we still want all you can eat we should leave and find it elsewhere. That's what we did, we walked out and found better cheaper food and beer elsewhere, just like everybody else should do too. read more

The classic combo is typically pretty consistent but unfortunately the boneless wings were extremely tough, almost as if they had been sitting out for awhile before being served. The spinach and artichoke dip was lacking in flavor as well. The chicken wanton tacos weren't anything special. Unfortunately I can't remember the names of the drinks but the smaller one was delicious. The larger drink on the other hand just tasted like flat soda. Our waitress was nice and the service was timely read more

Well, this was my first time at this Applebee's in Nebraska. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves here! First of all, we had great waitress service by KYNZI !!! She was very attentive and knows her stuff! The restaurant is tucked away in this Gateway Mall. It was clean outside and inside. Restroom was clean. It was cool watching the LA Kings hockey and KC Chiefs football games here. For food everything was great!!! My friend and I both ordered the $14.99 All-you-can-eat special. Boy, did we eat enough! I started out with the shrimp plate, with shrimp sauce, French fries, and Coleslaw. I just had ice water to drink. Our cool waitress Kynzi kept asking and checking on us. For my refill plates, I had the following... Sweet Asian Riblets, shrimp, honey Pepper Boneless Wings, shrimp, and finally, shrimp again!!! Ok, was so full by then. We loved the variety, all the different flavors!!! Overall, was a wonderful and filling visit. We would definitely visit here again. Highly recommend! I will be back again soon!!! read more

Came here for my anniversary with my fiancé because every other place was closed by 10 p.m., and we had a great evening! I got the Grilled Chicken entree, and asked for the zesty lime sauce on top from the other chicken item. Chicken was perfectly cooked - not at all dry! For the sides I got steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, and boy were these mashed potatoes Amazing?! So soft and smooth! The broccoli was also really soft and tender and perfectly cooked. I even asked for an extra side of broccoli. My fiancé got the Quesadilla Burger; Such a unique item! I took a taste and it actually tasted like a cheeseburger and quesadilla mashed up into one! Proper hamburger patty in there and there was the tomato and all of it which just gave the spot on vibe. He really loved it as well. Also picked steamed broccoli for his side and enjoyed. For dessert, we got the brownie bite to share. What a lovely dessert! Warm, extra warm, fudgy brownie and very rich and chocolatey too. Combination with that vanilla ice cream was really good. I actually enjoyed both items separate as well! Totally want to come here again coz there's so many things to try! read more

I haven't had this great of food or service in along time! Katie R was the waitress & had a very busy section but so polite & professional! Great job! Thank u for making my day! read more

I love their fruity drinks and their dishes. Really nice bartender she's very friendly and I loved talking to her. I was able to have a good time and enjoy my drinks as I ate my meal it was truly delicious! read more

Place is so good!!! The food don't even get me started AMAZING!!!!!! The service 10/10. And the ambiance is lovely.

Service is I don't know how to put it kindly, but felt like the server didn't want to be here. We waited 30 minutes to be seated and another 10-15 to be served! Food was ok but service sucked. Server even said I took $10 off your ticket by mistake so what am I to say thanks or pay difference via tip? Ummm no if service was good I would. But nahhhh read more

Gross. Customer service was below average. Then, there was a bug ON THE TABLE. Not the floor, or in the bathroom (which I didn't go into), BUT ON THE TABLE. I didn't even want to sit down again, or finish my food. I went home and gagged myself because I was worried the bugs had gotten into that as well. Seemed like it was some sort of roach. read more

Just received a delivery from this location. Trying to support local restaurants. When it arrived late it was cold and my hamburger bun was a rock. Very disappointing. The food has always been delicious when we dine in. If the quality of their food in delivery is bad in comparison they should honestly discount it and make customers aware of this during the time of purchase. read more

The food is good but I used to work there and I found cockroaches on the Fries and coffee and they would still give it to a customer like nothing happens read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Waitress messed up our order three different time and by the time I got my meal the rest of my family was already done eating. Paid $12 for 8 wings and they were not even decent sized not to mention the half sized chicken strips we also over paid for. Already had our ticket and then asked for a container of sauce and she went back to get it and brought a new ticket adding 50 cents to our order when I fee like after the whole ordeal the sauce could have been at least free. Last time we bother with this place for sure! read more

This last visit was probably the worst one I have had in years at Applebee's. We got there and the hostess asked us if we would like a high top and we said sure. We were in the middle of 2 other high tops, no big deal. We literally sat there for 15 minutes watching 2 different servers go to the tables on both sides of us. No one even made an attempt to ask if we needed anything. Finally I went back to the hostess and asked if we were invisible because no one had come over at all. She then asked us where we were sitting and she "went to find our server". She comes back and asks us what we wanted to drink, never even trying to apologize for the wait. We place our order, and then our waiter came over. He said sorry, I just got here yada yada yada. He must have sensed that I was pissed because he made a beeline for the manager. Manager comes over and apologized and said he would give us a free desert or comp one entree. We said OK thanks. But then things got even stupider. I ordered the all you can eat riblets, shrimp and wings. Finished the riblets and he asked if I wanted more. Said id try the shrimp. He brings back a huge plate, with 6 shrimp and cocktail sauce on it!! I couldn't help it and said what the f$ck is this and he just walked away. We decided we didn't want desert so took the comp meal. This was by far the worst dinner we have had in years. Applebee's used to be really good, now they just suck. read more

It's an Applebee's in a mall, so it's exactly as I expected for lunch. It was deserted for lunch. The soup tasted like canned and the Chicken Cavatappi had three small cuts of semi-charred chicken on top of dry pasta that was on top of the sauce in the bottom of the bowl. Like I said, I wasn't expecting five stars, it met the always low expectations for an Applebee's. read more

I was quickly greeted. Sat at a clean table. I had a grilled chicken salad the salad was divine. My waitress Sam was very helpful and made my dining experience exceptional. I will be visiting this location again. Thank you! read more

Got to the restaurant at about 12. Was seated right away but we sat and waited for 10 minutes and still not waiter or waitress- 3 other tables around us no drinks and other tables were all waiting for food. One lady said they had waited for the waitress to greet them for 20 minutes before taking a drink order. I cannot imagine how long I'd wait for food -- therefore we left. Extremely disappointing read more

This review isn't rating the store as a whole. But more so the service that was dealt to me, and that I observed from the other interactions I saw from the same server. My waitress/bartender was: Amelia. Right from The get go she was not happy to be here. At all. No smile, how are you, greeting, nothing. Then continued to be very distant, and not out going at all. I have ran and operated restaurants before, and she was nothing to what the standards for a bartender and/or waitress should be. No smile, mean looks, just didn't look like she wanted to be here. Very disappointed in the service that was given by her. On the other hand, Katie, who took over at the bar, was welcoming, smiled, introduced her self, and just had the energy of a server that I would want at my restaurant. Thanks to Katie, my business was kept at Applebee's. Food was great, and my drink stayed full the whole time! read more

This place is awful! Unorganized and very dirty. Management refused to fix problems with order and was very rude. Service was extremely slow as well. Most Applebee's are great this one flunked. read more

The burgers taste like they have been nuked, minimal toppings, sloppily made, cold. The fries have a strange taste. The onion rings were nice and crunchy, but no flavor and cold. The tea was good, tasted like it was brewed, you get about 1/4 glass, too much ice. read more

Service was wonderful, thank you Elysse. Food was okay but that's on the company not on the branch. Although the wings weren't as good as Buffalo Wild Wings' they were comparable in price. The service made them worth it. read more

By far the worst Applebee's I've been to. You expect to see some area's of improvement in any restaurant, especially the chain restaurants, but we waited about an hour and 15 minutes between ordering and getting our food. Most of the food was cold, the apples my daughter ordered looked old, and her yogurt was spoiled and had a spot of mold in it. The waitress did ZERO to fix any of it. Horrible...just horrible. read more

I would never think to give any Applebee's less than 3 stars. Unfortunately, tonight's experience changed my mind. A couple of us went in about 10:15PM, and on a Saturday, I was surprised at how slow it was. We were one of maybe 10 tables in the whole restaurant. First sitting down, I noticed the manager, JR I believe, sit down on his break at the bar to eat. Not a problem, he probably had a rough day and deserved it. I am all about breaks. I know for a fact I made eye contact with him when he sat down. That made me think that as a manager, he would be personable, he didn't get hired to not talk to people. in the hour we were there, he greeted 4 other tables that came upwards to 45 minutes after we did. We were not greeted once by him. At my job, and as a cook, I even check up on customers. It's the one thing that made this experience so bad. After neither server (Leslie and Kevin) knew exactly who was going to be our server, I knew it was going to be a rough experience. I will admit, we did take time to order, and the server(s) were pretty persistent about making sure if we were ready, but for an order of wings and one burger, I would not expect the 20 minute wait we had for our food. Especially when my wings were warm at most. After all being said and done, I use to love this location, but now, I will never be back. read more

Food and service get worse with every visit. Riblets were very tough, could not finish them and left still hungry. My wife had the garlic mashed potatoes for her side, they were more like a potato puree and very tasteless. She asked for a different side which didn't make it to the table until we were almost finished. We were never asked how food or service was. Will never go to an Applebee's again. read more

Eaten here several times, food is somewhat infrequently but maintains portions.Service was slow, especially at bar,I am sorry....

This location tends to fill up fast and get LOUD LOUD LOUD in comparison with other locations in Lincolns. Still, the food is good, prices great and service friendly. I like the convenience of having it in the mall, you can have a nice lunch or dinner and then go "walk it off" in the mall....and spend more money lol. read more

Rolled into Applebees after the camper show. Git seated right away. All the t.v.'s had college basketball on.....Sweet. Waitress came right over took our drink order. I had a dirty martini....when it came back to our table a small hair was floating in it. Of course I was shocked but got it out and met the waitress know. She said I'm sorry....very sweet woman. A few minutes later the mgr came over and comped the drink. He apologized and said its unacceptable. The food was amazing. We all left with smiles and a new camper. Great Day!!! read more

Stopped by Monday evenight for the All In Burger Specials... I had the burger with the fried egg and my spouse had the triple bacon burger with sweet potato fries. I had the homemade house chips. Everything was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. Wonderful visit. Especially with the Monday night burger special prices. STILL OUR FAVORITE FOR A QUICK BITE!!! read more

The only reason I am giving two stars is because of the waiter. The bartender messed up my drink twice, our food came out cold and took over 30 minutes. The manger didn't even come to check on us. Maybe it wasn't their night but it was bad. read more

Had an unfortunate experience our first time here. They were out of stock of some food items we ordered, service was slow, and a friend ended up getting sick shortly after finishing the meal. They had good drink specials that evening though. read more

Service is extremely slow. We came in on a Saturday for lunch and it wasn't busy at all but we had to wait several minutes at the front to even have someone acknowledge us to get us a table. Our server was very friendly but slow. Once we finished our meal it took forever to come back and take our payment so we could leave. The food was great but service was lacking. read more

Went in on a saturday night and was TOTALLY disappointed. Used to go on fridays but since they added karaoke and its so loud we switched. They've added some sort of jukebox and the music was horrible and at full volume, It was what I'd expect from a club, not a restaurant. We were seated and told that our server would be kevin, but fifteen minutes passed and he never showed up. We asked a passing server if we could order and she sent someone over to take our drink orders. When I tried to order a beer she told me that legally she wasn't allowed, but could offer us some water. We got up and went to cheddar's. We used to go every saturday after work, but we'll never be back. Can the teenager BS and go back to being a family place. read more

Not bad restaurant. I won't say great good, but not worst though. Going one time o.k. to this place. I went with my friends today for lunch and got this experience read more

Went here to finish watching the Huskers game on TV and have some appetizers. Food and service were ok, no big complaints, but one thing stood out: this is a SPORTS bar and not one party was asked if they wanted to sit by a TV to watch the game! Even parties that came in full Husker attire weren't asked about watching the game! And there was only one table filled in the bar area along with a few patrons at the bar itself. Next time, on game days, at least address the game and possible viewing availability. read more
