Such a disappointment.. ordered online with my last dollars until tomorrow, to only get a call when 5 minutes away that they don't have ribs. Now I am out of cash and no food.. didn't want a substitute.. very very dissatisfied! Then still tried to give me the sides without returning my debit card where the refund should have been issued! Thank you for correcting the issue! Went from 1 star to 3 and I will return. read more

Where do I start? We had to wait twenty minutes for a seat. Mind you, there was only a handful of people there. Our waitress was acting a little strange. I think she was high, and asked my husband if he needed refills and never asked me. My husband had to speak up. There were dead bugs on the windowsill, overhead lights were broken, dirty hand prints on the windows. Ordered an appetizer, that came out after our main dish did. It was dark, the decor what little of it they had was extremely dated. I didn't think it could get much worse. Looked up at the ceiling and it was covered in dust, just awful. This place needs new management and needs to be remodeled or torn down and rebuilt. Applebees, you should be ashamed that you let this place get this bad. Never again will I eat there and I will tell anyone exactly how bad it is. Oh, and the staff was standing at the bar talking crap about a few of the waitresses, using profanity. read more

Ordered on the app took about 1 hr for food!! 7:15..... 8:01 psh When i got it my order was missing items and my toddlers milk was warm ( threw it out) Manger said they cant do anything about it because i paid already like duh its on the app... They offered brownie bits but id have to wait longer... um no duh Ppl that work there are inconsiderate and don't care! The only care if you sit down to eat but if you do an order to pick up, they could care less they don't even come outside to check cars. Place is super dirty and bathrooms are gross. Last time i went to the ladies room there was poo all over the walls and floor. The one bathroom stall is so tiny you cant fit in there unless u jump over the toliet. read more

Fries were good service was good but burger asked for a burger with just cheese and bacon I get it all the time for it. Came with some type of sauce never seen it before it was spicy and nasty. read more

lets see, was it the dirty silverware or the lack of napkins, or the totally clueless servor or the wrong drink or the tortured fetuccine or overcooked chicken or the lack of broccoli. when she said go to ihop i should have left. someone is trying very hard to make this place a no go to restaurant read more

Prob wont be back til the economy figures out wtf its doing, prices are kinda outrageous. 12.99 for 8 chicken nuggets is garbage. Staff is fine but the franchise should be ashamed, im done eating here for a while. read more

Today, a party of 10, party of 2 and a party of 3 waited 15 minutes before someone yelled out can we get some service. A young waitress comes over to my party of 10 and tells us we have to wait even though there were plenty of vacant seats. When asked why we couldn't sit a particular spot we were told they couldn't sit now one there. What a waste of time. We ended up leaving out because we didn't see anyone trying to bust tables down after other patrons finished eating. Please get some help here. read more

We've been here before and it wasn't so pleasant. We decided to give it another go. We were greeted quickly and with a smiling face. Sat very quickly and the server was at our table within minutes. The restaurant was clean and the restrooms were also. They were moderately busy. Our server, Brittany N. Was by far the best waitress I have ever had. She understood what a customer expected and went beyond to satisfy. She even helps cook also at times so she also gets the food. She ensured we understood that what we wanted was very important. If anything, she's the reason I will go back. Let's get to what people really want to know, the food. My wife said the salad was good and a great portion. I had the boneless wings with the Asian Chile sauce. They were crispy and hot. I did have to ask for more sauce as there was not enough to me on them. To be fair, I enjoy mine very saucy. Once the extra sauce was on, they were right on. My wife ordered the Bourbon street steak that was tender and cooked the way she asked. The sides were great also. I had the Bourbon street chicken and shrimp. I asked for the onions and mushrooms separate and it came with the onions under the chicken. I was ok with that. No big deal. The waitress ensured the kitchen knew it was a big deal. LOL! The food was great and the shrimp just hit right with that garlic butter. If you've read this far, I appreciate it as I know you're a person that enjoys an honest review. I'll be back again just as long as Brittany N is our waitress. Thanks Brittany N if you read these. You made a difference. read more

I went at lunchtime on a weekday. Service was good, server (who was also the bartender) was polite and did a good job. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. Ample portion, good flavor. Overall good experience at this chain restaurant. read more

My wife and I walked into the restaurant and waited near the door. Staff passed us by 3 or 4 times with no acknowledgment or greeting. We waited 3 or 4 minutes, no one approached us or said anything to us. We walked out. read more

We ordered take out at 730 on a Sunday night. Motza stick, wings, hamburger, and nachos. GrubHub said food was ready by 805. 835 we finally got the food. The food was good. The food took to long to get. The place looked like they seriously needed some help. The take out process is poor. The staff was nice but out of breath. No one spoke to us when we came in and so we stood around with the other take out people for 30 minutes. read more

Door dash and Applebee's just can not seem to get it done. 3 out of 5 there is something missing from the order or there is something just wrong, such as overcooked. read more

Every single time I come as a door dasher the order takes 10 to 15 minutes to get ready, just recently I showed up and they said someone else picked up the order, then when Door Dash customer support called the store for information I could hear the phone ringing at the waitress booth and no employees would even acknowledge it, the store was not even busy so idk what the issue was, the food is all microwaved re heated chewy garbage and the employees and store itself are just dirty and gross would not come here if I were you! read more

So the customer service was great our server was gracious and extremely accommodating. Honestly her abilities were worthy of five stars but the quality of our meal is the reason for the two stars. Our food was not fresh (I ordered fries and a Caesar salad, the fries were definitely sitting before I received them. My wife ordered mozzarella sticks which were warm at best). All in all it wasn't a terrible experience just wish our food was fresh. read more

I wanted a late night snack and was craving pretzels. The pretzels were actually very good but the beer cheese was lukewarm and just average. The french onion soup was terrible. The cheese on top was barely melted and there was barely any broth. I heated it in the microwave which did help. read more

I haven't been to an Applebee's in 25 years. This is got to be the most disgusting dirtiest restaurant I have been to since I've lived in North Carolina. Ordered a hamburger and the waiter didn't even ask me how I wanted it cooked. Zero zero zero. Cc health department????? read more

Me and my 2 sisters and our kids went out the eat one day. We arrived around 3. We put in the kids orders before we even ordered our drinks. Wish I knew the waitress name because she was absolutely terrible. After an hour of waiting and hungry kids she says she had JUST put the order. AN HOUR LATER. We tried to be patient because we was hungry. She was very snobby. Anyways the entrees and the kids food came out at the same time. Some of my sons food still didn't come until after we was all done eating. It was like 6 and dark time when we left. I left a $2 tip which is not me at all. I love to tip. Then days later she "mistakenly" charged me for a tip of $12. I feel robbed even tho it was $10. Never going there ever again. read more

The tabletop video game console was fun. Overall the 12.99 all you can eat was tasty. It was disappointing the boneless chicken only came in one flavor. The endless fries were cold and tasteless. read more

First the service on Saturday July 22 at about 5:00 was atrociousour waitresses, an older woman with short hair was very UNATTENTIVE to us. She was busy with old friends around the corner from us. Other staff checked on us more than she did. Pretty young girl with a ponytail was more concerned about us than our wait staff. We ordered an appetizer which someone else brought. Therhe main course my wife ordered cheese burger. Her choice was pink or well done. Nothing in between then read more

Tell me why I'm eating baby back ribs and the ribs is flat and wide the meat is not right I kept trying to figure out why is the bone inside flat I've never seen a rib that's flat I am totally grossed out right now I feel nauseous sitting here eating this don't know what I'm eating be careful out here eating just anything to ask ain't nothing wrong with asking what you're eating where they get the food from I actually think they should make a list of where they get their food from and have that on the table also..every since they pass the law about lab meat.. but I do have to say the lady that waited on us yesterday was very nice she was very good at her job thank you read more

Wearing masks is primarily to protect others, so them wearing a mask is also meant to protect you. It's your choice not to do so, but vilifying people who are trying to do that for you is low. So thank you for asking me to leave for not wearing my mask. If you have employees who wear them as chin warmers as they greet you at the door then customers should have the same option. Simply put I have been looking for an excuse to stop coming back. There is only one thing on the menu my wife likes and that is why we would come back. For me, the food has never been that good. The service is horrible, employee attitudes are and always been terrible and the restaurant needs to be cleaned. I hope the franchise owner will see this. I hope your business model is not to empower employees as mask police. You need all the support you can get. read more

came here as a last option because everything else was closing and boy am i glad we did. Our server Shade was very well mannered and the food was delicious, it blows my local applebees to high hell read more

I so love Applebee's. I think for a low priced, American cuisine family restaurant its great. However, it saddens me that I've been to the New Bern location 4 times and this last time was the last straw for me. I find it to be unclean, the tables are always sticky and this time I had to wipe it down myself with baby wipes. The service has been slow at various times of day and we basically have to ask for everything from the moment we sit. Silverware, napkins, plates for our appetizer, straws for our drinks.... I just find it a disappointing experience each time. Sorry! read more

Everything was of peak quality. Our food was absolutely delicious and it didn't take long for us to get it. Our waitress was wonderful, the service was great. Unfortunately she did not pull out her ta-ta's at any point in the night, so I'm gonna have to deduct from the total. read more

Dirty floor. Very Slow kitchen. I had ordered no pickles still received them. Also the whiskey bourbon sauce on my burger tasted far too sweet the whole dining experience was ruined. Saw roaches crawling in while walking out, probably towards the half eaten slice of pizza on the floor. read more

We had a bad experience here. The waiter seemed new or high, he came twice for our order and took forever to bring our drinks. We ordered 2 rainbow drinks and didn't even come with the little candy that was advertised, as well as the shark drink. I asked if there was any alcohol in it and the waiter just said yes and left. It literally tasted like a smoothie. Once everyone at the table got their food the waiter asked if I still wanted the burger I ordered. I believe another waiter or cook came to drop it off while our waiter didn't realize it got to the table. Once we paid and left a $5 tip for a $48 bill our waiter wasn't seen at all. We waited for awhile to eventually ask another waiter for a box to go. The waiter was nice so I dont want yo out him on blast but overall a horrible experience and won't be coming back. read more

This maybe the BEST Applebee's I've been to. It was a little wait for our food, but it was totally worth it. It was the BEST Chicken Alfredo I have ever had. The service was also great. read more

I'm not really sure why the ratings are so low for Applebee's in New Bern. I have gone several times now and I have had the BEST service! We never had to ask for drinks, Scott or waiter just kept them coming. Our food was fast, fresh and hot. Literally zero complaints. If someone was going to complain about the food it would be my husband and even he agrees it was good. Thank you Scott! read more

This has been the worst Applebee's I have ever been at. This place needs new management immediately. Longest ever wait time with literally no one really in the restaurant...why aren't the servers "serving". Why is it that there is no one here and still such a ridiculous wait to make some chicken strips and fries? read more

My husband and I have not been here in years due to the quality, service, and management always being so bad. We decided to give it another try last night. I will not rate on the small staff situation because they are dealing with what just about every restaurant is dealing with. They seem to be doing the very best they can. The only negative was where we were seated. We were told we had to sit in the bar area. I understand the server situation, but was still disappointed that we basically had no choice. Our waitress was great. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name. The food was very good. Yes, it's a chain and most everything is prepackaged and/or frozen, but it was still very good. I had the Riblet Platter with coleslaw and husband had the Double Crunch Shrimp with coleslaw. We will not wait as long as we did this time to go back. read more

Should have yelped before we went... DONT do it. We're new in town and thought Applebees would be consistent and reliable food like it is elsewhere. It was horrific. Dirty and unsanitary. They were out of silverware. Server said they don't even order some of the food items on the menu anymore. I was served raw chicken. The place was so nasty I was scared to send it back just paid and left. There was literally a bar fight and the staff did and said nothing. It was pretty obvious these types of things happen often. An hour of my life I'll never get back and the worst dining experience I've ever had. read more

Better.... I swore I'd never go in again after two horrible meals /service there a few years ago....but a friend had a gif5 card and I had a coupon, so there we were today at noon. Apparently it's under new management, and a fire a while back forced a much needed cleaning and remodeling. It could still use some attention, our table was sticky and the blinds very dusty, but the food and service was ok. I think I might go back. read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant. We had ordered in the past with similar results and decided to try again on good faith that maybe we had just ordered on an off night. We were wrong. Ordered curbside to go, the waitress/carhop was fantastic. Got home and found they had left a side out. Called and told them I would come back up to get it. Wasn't offered anything extra for their mistake and having to make a second trip. Got home and ribs were so tough and awful even the pressure cooker couldn't help. My wife had a pasta dish and I could have spit more than there was sauce in the bowl. This is the second and last time we will ever order from this establishment. We tried. read more

My mother ordered via the Applebee's site for pickup. When she arrived, she called and said she was outside and the guy who answered said the food would be right out. She waited and waited. She finally called again and the woman who answered told her they didn't know anything about her order and that she couldn't refund it because mom had "paid the internet." Then the girl hung up on her. She called back and asked for the manager, who told her the exact same thing and hung up on her again. I recognize you don't expect much from an Applebee's, but this is ridiculous. Don't go, at least not to the location in New Bern, NC. read more

Love this restaurant perfect combination of awesome food aka Steak and molten lava cake and football on every screen! The waitress staff will change the channel upon request for the game you are looking for. read more

Went to have dinner with my husband... waitress was sneezing and coughing while making drinks and bringing us food. Felt bad for the girl because she was visibly sick, but we couldn't even stay. We left after the appetizer, which we were hesitant to eat. read more

It's an Applebees so it is what it is. This one has a very limited bar. The problem is they have no staff. Tables are empty but there is a 25 minute wait. By the time food arrives you've forgotten what you've ordered. The current staff are working tables as fast as humanly possible. There are simply not enough of them. Time to consider a real hourly wage. read more

We were seated promptly and then waited at least 30 minutes and never had a waiter/waitress come by our table to take our drink orders. It was not busy during the time we went. Restaurant overall was dingy and not very inviting. Will not be returning. read more

Absolutely horrible no help and terrible customer service need to close the doors if you can't operate a business in a professional manner I was highly disappointed read more
