Stopped in to Applebees today. Our server Jennifer was terrific. Very friendly, great service and dining experience.

We had a great experience at Applebees this evening. The service was great. Jennifer was helpful with the menu. Checked on us for drinks, refills. Be back again soon. read more

Went in about 2:30 PM and waited at the front reception stand for about 5 minutes. No reception, no bartender, no waitresses or waiters. Thought the place was closed. Finally left. Called on the way to another restaurant to ask if they were closed and the manager said they were open. Worst service ever, even for Okeechobee standards read more

It's Applebees so don't expect great quality food but this location has some great service and is convenient to the Hampton Inn.

The order taker walked away and never came back. The manager looked right at me and walked away. Never will I ever go here.

Visiting from out of town and taking my family out to dinner, Applebees seemed like the best option for a mix of vegans, meateaters and kids. If you're vegan, I think your only option will be the impossible burger and you may be better of going to BK. The spinach artichoke dip & mozzarella sticks we're good. Everybody else seemed to enjoy their food. The service was decent. They gave the kids coloring books and their food came out right away. She server was also very attentive and gave us refills. I thought the bill was a little high for mediocre food. read more

Large group - waitress worked hard but clearly had difficulty. Food was good to yuck, for instance the broccoli was hard and crunchy, steak with onions and mushrooms came with a lot of onions and 2 mushrooms, ribs were cold. One dish was so late coming I gave her part of the ribs to eat. One of the staff called one customer sweetheart and another customer Mama - several times. I considered calling him Daddy. Nightmare to pay the bill. This was our second time and I'm not sure this place will stay in our rotation read more

Went for drink specials. They used to have BOGO all day. It changed. Drafts are 2.50 for a small and a large was 5.00. Ordered the drafts, got the bill after two large and and two small. The bill showed small at 5.00, large was 6.00 !@#? DRAFT! Here it was only Bud light, Miller Lite, not Coors like! Would have been nice to know. Really would have been nice to know when we ordered a small that for 1.00 more we could have had a large! Not thrilled with a 23.00 surprise bill and DRAFT beer of all things. READ or ask because they won't come out and make you aware. read more

Food was Great, My waiter named Liam he did a great job at serving making sure we had food and drinks, all in all amazing service.

For many years this Applebees has Always had bad service and rude Managers. Five years later we decided to give it a try. Nope.. our appetizers were put on our table 10 minutes after we already had our entrees. We let the Manager know that we'll box them since they're late. She stomped off, threw a tantrum, then dropped to-go containers on our table and walked away. As if it was our fault. Never again. The tables on both sides of us had issues with service and the Manager as well. The Serve however was very nice and we felt bad that she has to work there. read more

Food was good, service was decent. Took my parents while we were staying in Okeechobee and they enjoyed.

I have eaten at this location several times when visiting family. This location is located minutes from shopping and is on a main road coming into Okeechobee. Always clean and the service is always very nice. They have missed a couple of things on my order, but nothing major. I keep coming back because the food is usually prepared right and the service is always good and professional read more

Food is cooked to prefect ion. I live in Ft Lauderdale and NEVER go to Applebees.. the staff there is rude and food is horrible.. But this store is amazing! Thank you for bringing back to Applebees read more

If you have money, you can order and eat. If they screw up your order when you have to go and get it, tough. Why aren't people responsible for their mistakes any more? You just hurt your weekend parties there with us. Hope everyone catches on soon so the lot will be empty. read more

Our go to spot in Okeechobee. We have been coming here since it opened and it doesn't disappoint. We recently went this weekend and the staff was very kind, attentive, and fast. There are a lot of families and locals and the food is good. The crispy wonton tacos, spinach dip, and salad is usually what we start with. For meals I usually get the chicken breast with the delicious honey mustard on the side and my husband gets the jack Daniels burger. read more

Consistency is the key here. It is not outstanding 5-Star fare, but most always decent, and one of the few lunch places you can get an adult beverage! Wait staff is excellent some of the time; other times, not so great! It is a great place for a leisurely lunch because they don't close at 2 PM! And I do love their won ton taco appetizers! read more

American menu, friendly staff, cold beer. The food is average frozen prepackaged chain restaurant fare nothing special. It is consistent and good, but not great. The bar is expansive and they have several specialty drinks and cold beer . We stop in when we need a quick warm meal. The service is friendly and the food is what you expect. read more

I've had the culinary pleasure of eating dinner at this location twice. I must say it was superb both times. Typically my experience with this chain has been mediocre to poor. This restaurant exceeds all expectations. The wait staff is friendly and proficient. Our food is hot and tasty and delivered quickly and correctly. Thanks for your service!I highly recommend. read more

Great food. Fast service. Like any other Applebee's. Won't be disappointed. Our food was good and came out rather quickly. read more

Been in a few Applebee's and this one is by far the best. Food and service are great. We go quite often and have never been disappointed.

So tell me when you get a 2 for 1 beer special and you get this 3/4 filled mug I say not so special especially the snippy bar maid or (manager) maybe idk she was dressed in reg clothing and then giving me a lesson along w/ it of what is a proper pour is for beer hmmmm not very nice way to treat a guest in your house...sorry you are having a bad night and you are stressed but I just wanted to have a few cocktails with my husband but thank you Marvin the server who asked if you can use anything ... maybe Marvin should be the manager. read more

I was so happy to door dash some food and sit down and eat with my family when I get a notification that my order was reassigned. I start looking into it and shortly after I get a text from my re assigned dasher saying Applebees gave my order to the wrong person and they walked off with free food basically. All this taking up over 30 minutes. I could've ordered from somewhere else but noo, support local businesses.. I called Applebees myself and they refused to do anything about it except refund my order.. which by the way, amount takes 3-5 business days to re allocate into your account. I'm upset they don't even ask for proof of order details from the dasher.. basically a big F you to their customers but "hey random guy have some free food!" I was bout to f up them buffalo wings too man lemme tell ya. I rarely ever order from here and when I do it's always something up. One day I went to go dine-in with family and they messed up the orders along with charging the wrong cards.. it's like the employees are just trying to get through day and aren't fully attentive . The service here is always hit or miss. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Sat waiting for service for 30 minutes. No one spoke with us at all. We weren't even asked what we would like to drink. Wouldn't recommend.

Waitress was great, everything was going good until a roach crawled past my head. Definitely ruined the appetite.

Always friendly and served with a smile. We usually go to bar so we can mingle. Food is ok, usually eat several appetizers.

You better skip this place!!!' Horrible service, manager acts like he doesn't even have a clue, & service was awful! On top of awful service, our waitress looked so unprofessional. She was covered in tattoos & boons hanging out of her top! I am sorry but tattoos, No matter how popular, are unprofessional! And all she did was complain about wanting to go home! Really? Just so your job, buy a shortcrust fits & cover up your trashy tattoos! read more

This is one of the best choices in Okeechobee. Amazing margaritas! Excellent service. We always sit outside because it is always FREEZING INSIDE! So bring a jacket! read more

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Waitress brings back your credit card receipt only your credit card is missing from the tray. Mind you, I'm there on a Saturday afternoon and the place is 1/3 full and sitting 2 booths from the cash register. In place of my credit card is a random piece of plastic that looks very much like the credit card the waitress used to charge my meal. After management hunts down the waitress and the card, I'm told it was mixed up with another customers card. Really? You let people pay for meals with random pieces of plastic that resemble credit cards. How progressive of you. Shady experience. read more

Went there last night & my steak was over cooked, when I asked someone for steak sauce they said ok and never can back so I had to eat dry sauce less steak. But overall The rest was good. read more

We travel 30 miles to this Applebee's and today was such a disappointment. Food tasted dried up and overcooked. Server never asked because I believe she knew it was not right. Left is on ignore. So sad because this has been awesome in the past read more

This place used to be a regular spot to go to among friends but lately this place has lost its appeal. I have been going here since it first opened and there has been a lot of turnover among the bar staff and wait staff lately. Gone are the friendly and knowledgeable staff. My last visit was disappointing, I ordered the whiskey burger, which fell apart on the first bite. My friend and I ordered their drink specials a "Top Shelf" Long Island and a Hurricane. I don't know if the bartender was too lazy to clean the proper barware, but the drinks were supposed to come in a schooner glass or a bowl-like glass. They were instead served in Pilsner glasses... There's a big problem with that because you get a whole lot less than what you're supposed to. There was a few other mishaps, my wife's French onion soup has strings of melted cheese in it when she asked for no cheese, the kitchen swore that there was no cheese even though it was clearly visible. I hope this place starts getting better with their quality control and items are check before they leave the kitchen or bar... This place...not what it used to be... read more

This is 2 reviews in one. Went in with a party of 4. Place was not busy at all. 2 other couples were waiting for tables. Dude who was seating people was having a problem understanding the seating chart I guess, because he kept looking at chart and counting people. In the 5 or so minutes we waited he never did seat anyone. His job was to seat people, you know people are going to walk in the door. BE PREPARED! ain't that hard to do, especially when not busy. We left and went to Cowboys and had a good meal. We waited a month or so, went back, was immediately seated, and thought this is cool they got it together finally! We would probably still be seated, had we not finally just got up and left. The hostess that had just seated us 15 minutes earlier did tell us to have a nice day. Didn't even remember seating us, and could care less why we were leaving so quickly. We were never approached by anyone while we were seated, about drinks, food order, or anything. Place apparently needs someone to manage that understands the business. BTW....READ all the reviews for this place before going...we didn't, BAD mistake! read more

Wow! I had just about given up on Applebee's but wanted to go for a quick dinner close to home and gave it another shot. To my unexpected surprise they had brought back their grilled bourbon street steak with mushroom special, so I had the steak and wife had the bourbon street chicken and shrimp with mushrooms special, 2 entrees for $30.00 which included 2 sides and an appetizer (had artichoke dip with chips). Very satisfying experience we will be back! We both had a personal small desert me the chocolate brownie with delicious sauce and wife a fudge brownie with sauce and whipped cream ($2.99 - effect for one person). Also their beer special is always 2 for 1, - love their cold drafts! We will be back read more

Out of town --let me just say it was crowded with kids that should not have been at the bar We asked to sit in the bar an were passed up by a so called waitress without a personality . Passed the table by three times when we asked her for Menus she blew us off on the door staff saying if she didn't give you a menu we don't know your here-unless passing our Table three times doesn't count as being able to see. Then the front staff door greeters she told we needed menus just blew us off . 5 dirty tables in the sitting area ,poor service , Lack of customer service an inward atmosphere. Eat here if you don't care about service. Won't recommend or return Called an manager even blew off the call How sad read more

Two hours to dine in a casual restaurant. Granted it was Halloween, but still. Waiters were very good in offering apologies for the kitchen backup food was slow to come out and there really not that busy when we got there. The rush came much later. You have to blame this one on the manager as he did not staff his kitchen with the number of cooks needed for a Friday night. Food was fine so I have nothing to complain about. Staff were good in keeping our drinks filled up and the offering of apologies throughout the night. Doubt I will ever go back on a busy Friday night again. read more

I have tried this place about three times on a Monday night. I'm not sure if it's just something about Monday night's, but service is pretty bad and slow and they tend to forget you're there. I went there because it's Monday Night Football NFL but they don't seem to either play the games on the main screen with volume unless you ask them to. The best place to sit is at the bar because at least there's somebody there you can constantly be asking for something since they're right there in front of you and it is impossible for them to forget you because of your location. read more

came for our first visit to this Applebees! everyone was great from the moment we walked in the door. our waitress Connie was totally awesome and very attentive! food was delicious!!! read more

Since when does an employee smoke break take priority over a customer being able to be seated. Entered the restaurant, 4 employees discussing who was going to smoke. Finally we were escorted to a booth which was requested but another waitress informed the door greeter that she hadn't had her smoke break yet. We were seated near the restrooms and register and to go door. Noisey to say the least. Our salads went to someone else first before locating us. LETS GET THOSE SMOKE BREAKS IN. PSA. No sweet potatoes and no baked potatoes until after 4. read more

I've crossed Applebee's off my list after this last visit. It was the worst meal I've had in a long time, service was awful and a waitress who could care less. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else the next time you think of going into Applebee's in Okeechobee, FL. read more
