It was an excellent dining experience at this Applebee's location even for their budget friendly 2 for $25 deal, it actually met our expectations--not because of the value, but also due to exceptional service we received. The menu options for this deal were surprisingly varied and satisfying. We kicked things off with two fresh side salads sour appetizer. For the main course, I chose the burger and upgraded to the impossible party (totally worth the small extra charge), while my cousin had the chicken Parmesan fettuccini. Both meals were flavorful, filli, and even left us with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. I wish I could remember the name of our server--she was incredibly sweet, warm, and attentive, and really made our dining expert extra special. Highly recommend this location if you're looking for a tasty, affordable meal with great service! read more

Loved this location! It was very cozy and even has a pool table!! We sat at the bar and got great service. The triple dipper was delicious especially the wonton tacos!! The Grilled cheese cheeseburger was soooo good as well! Overall My first time at applebees was a success! read more

We come here about once a month for Happy Hour. The bartenders are always friendly but can become overwhelmed when it's busy. Deals abound, such as half price apps. The atmosphere is typical Applebee's so no surprises. Overall, a standard that hits the mark. Great place to chill without having to spend a lot. read more

I was going to write a whole review about how terrible the experience was but not worth it. I'll just leave a picture. Manager did comp the food. But it doesn't change my stress for the next 72 hours to see if either one of us gets seriously ill!! This was our 2nd time dinning here and only because we stayed at the hotel. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Raw chicken my 5 & 6 year old ate - American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This used to be our spot every month when my husband came to drill in the military because this Applebee's is inside the Drury hotel we stayed at. We had never had bad service or bad food here until this time. The grilled chicken caesar salad had more lettuce hearts, and cores stuffed down in the bottom then any good lettuce leaves that were on top. They intentionally used less good lettuce leaves and packed to the bottom with all of those inedible hearts just to make the salad look full. This was probably only done because it was a to go order. I feel pretty cheated. Likely to not eat here anymore. read more

Salad with just lettuce, small pieces of very salty chicken, and a sliced up strawberry cost $15. Took 40 minutes to get the order. Won't return. I'm read more

We love Applebees! The food is always served quick, and it is always on time. Our bartender Mikayla is awesome too. Thanks, Applebees!

Our mistake for ordering a 6oz Sirloin but we sent back our first stake for being completely rare when we asked for medium rare. It came back a bit better but the replacement looked like this. The waitress seemed annoyed to take it back. Not a good experience. read more

We never go to Applebee's..and when we finally do to mix things up I remember why we don't go..service is lacking and the food is never great. I thought steak and broccoli with a side salad would be a safe choice. Steak had to be smaller than the 6 oz advertised and it was the most bland piece of meat I've ever had. The broccoli also had no salt or pepper but was cooked okay, not too mushy but not raw either. Salad was drowned in dressing. I use a good amount myself but this was a bowl of lettuce swimming in dressing. Drinks were never refilled, plates were never cleared. Will not be back. read more

One of the last Applebees to have pool tables. Plus the cheap drinks make this place such an underrated hangout spot. Bartenders for the most part are friendly. Managers are good as well read more

Been a long time since we've been to an Applebee's; overall had a good experience. On a Friday night, for a family of 4, we were seated in a timely manner, 5-10 mins; you could tell they were shortstaffed, but our server, Savannah, kept her lively personality and was on point with checking in and keeping us updated! We enjoyed the food as well, had the appetizer sampler; honey BBQ ribs; quesadilla burger! Bathroom had a weird funky smell; but it was clean and stocked. read more

Wings were inadequate for what we payed and we payed for extra wing dipping sauce but none was given. We ordered garlic Parmesan but we just got a few shavings of Parmesan. I would not recommend this restaurant read more

The food here is classic Applebees. Nothing spectacular, just comfort EXCEPT for the mini cinnamon rolls. Fantastic (and they should come with a warning because they are so so so good). I had a date nite daiquiri (beautiful - check out the pic) and a chicken bowl. Hubby had all you can eat shrimp. Both were good enough that we would order again. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. It's a bar so the ambiance is full of energy ... nothing quiet here folks! read more

Sat at the table for over 20 minutes with no server coming to the table. Tables that sat down after us had a server come to the table before ours. We eventually ended up leaving after no server came over. read more

Ok Gorge the manager was the best ever. Very sweet young man. Although he is the manager he helped serving customers and he sure knows how to take a joke. I did give him a hard time a bit about the dirty utensils, the slow service, the bartender not making drinks correctly. But Gorge corrected the errors n happy hour was just that.... happy. U want to go here. I had me a great time n haven't had fun like that in a very very long time. I was out on a business trip n it was awesome read more

Soooo, the girls are back in town. One of them got the broccoli chicken Alfredo. No bueno my friends. The pasta and the broccoli were undercooked and the chicken tasted ? Fake ? Her words not mine. The other child got a quesadilla burger. She said the beef was not seasoned but other than that it was fine. My food (chicken bacon ranch sandwich) was good and the zombie margarita thingy was gas (that means good btw). They did forget our appetizer but it's okay. After a long drive any food would've been devoured. Our server was nice and its an Applebees so you already know the vibes. We got here pretty early but it took a little bit to get our food. I've been here before but today just seemed ?? Subpar at best. Yours without a doubt - Deez read more

Last time we went the service sucked. The table was sticky and dirty and food under the tables, the waitress took forever to take our order. Tonight we ordered carry out, one of my items was missing so I had to go back. Then when I got it the ice cream was melted and the caramel was missing. Never going back again, even though it's so convenient bc it's right next door to the Drury where we stay when we're in town. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Went for the boneless wings but ended up getting them plus a take on French dip. Place was clean with a friendly server. Very happy we decided to go and will definitely return! read more

Service was amazing drinks were amazing everything came out perfect and our server niyiem was amazing and kind checked on us often and made us feel welcome read more

Worst food ever!!!! Order the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, got it delivered an hour after and what I received was salty and no mash-potato, just plain chicken and shrimp. read more

I had taste for chicken tacos so we stopped at Applebee's and everything was great. The service, the food and the surroundings (as in other guest 6ft) was great.I tried the new blue raspberry drink and it was really good. Babe ordered quesadilla burger, fries and $1 add on wings. He was very satisfied. The bill only came up to $32 which is not bad for lunch. read more

Tonight a group of 8 of us came in about 7pm, the bartender landyn and manager george went above and beyond to accommodate us and make our stay exceptional. Manager George was helping his employees out by food running, and landyn made exquisite drinks. Landyn was fast, efficient, and so friendly. The food was great, and the conversation with her was even better! If I was able to award this Bees location a Michelin star- they'd have 10. Come on in, and ask Landyn! You won't be disappointed. read more

My first time finally trying Applebees and I love the experience! Our steaks were actually cook to perfection, surprisingly. Kayla, our bartender made us frozen sangrias and also a complimented banana split cocktail. Great spot to watch the game! read more

Was here 40 minutes before the pissed off bartender took our food order to which she then told us the kitchen was backed up and it would take 45 minutes for us to get any food. read more

I would add zero stars, if that was an option This was the worst. I literally got up and left him. We were waiting 15 minutes just to be told that we have to wait to be sat after we sat we waited about another 20 minutes to even got our drinks and then was 15 minutes after that that we were asked if we're ready to order we decided to leave bad service we had asked what deals there were, and the bartender was rude and said, read the paper do not recommend this place ever read more

Went back finally and waited 30 minutes for a hamburger. Had to ask where my food was and the excuse was new cooks. Then it was that the burgers were still frozen. Just asked to pay for my beer so I could leave and the bartender just chatted up other customers. Horrible experience read more

Our favorite place. Friendly service. Our food has always been great. It's our go to always.

Things started off fine, like a typical night at Applebees. Then the food came. It was not good. The fries were stale and probably microwaved to reheat. The chicken felt like plastic. Then we just sat and sat, and sat some more waiting for our check. Finally my wife and three kids left and I waited for the waitress to come back. I eventually got up and moved toward the door, thinking maybe my movement toward the exit will get them to actually charge me for the food we just ate. Terrible experience. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

I ordered a rare steak, which came out very well done. The manager spent his time chatting with the 20 something women at an adjacent table. Our waitress was kind but seemed uncomfortable, given the management environment. read more

Although people like to hate on Applebees I must disagree. They have plenty of choices for various palates and great cocktails. Sis and I had just run a race early Saturday and needed to replenish so since she used to work at one she suggested this place. I ordered steak with fries and green beans and it was exactly what I needed. Sis got wings and a s and lad but only because we had a late lunch Her perfect marg was on point as well as my sauzerita. We didnt have to wait long for service either although it was Saturday night. read more

I saw a TV comercial and was super excited about the All You Can Eat boneless wings. We went today, Thursday September 1, 2022. Unfortunately, the wings were not what we expected. We ordered Buffalo Mild, Buffalo Hot, and Garlic Parmesan. All the wings were dry, salty, and the Buffalo didn't have enough sauce. The fries that came with them were also salty and soggy. We also ordered the Hot Cheeto cheese bites. Those were also salty and greasy in a really bad way (like old oil). It was not a good experience at all. The only thing that was good was the sweet tea. read more

A blast from the past. They closed the Applebee's closest to us so we stopped in for a bite. Food was as expected. Chicken strips were a bit over cooked but it seemed that was common any place we went. The blonde brownie with the maple syrup was spot on. Really enjoyed the restaurant. read more

We went to this place at 7:30 fully expecting a wait. They said 40 minutes. We didn't mind but went to the bar to order a drink while we waited for the rest of our party. The bartender fully ignored us and took literally everyone else's order. I was just trying to order and pay for a drink. I finally asked the bartender who said that she couldn't serve me if we were waiting on a table because it was a "long process". We asked to speak to a manager who said we couldn't order a drink while waiting for a table because they couldn't transfer the tickets to the table. I said "okay, we'll just pay for our drinks at the bar." He gave the okay and the bartender still refused to even look at us to a point where the manager had to take our order. Then the manager says to me that he didn't see my name on the list for a table but he never asked me for it. I go to check the list after AN HOUR to see that the number of people in our party was changed and the hostess informed us that the manager changed the number to make it more people! Meanwhile, people are going and order the bar with no problem while waiting for a table and the bartender had no problem serving them. It made me feel so incredibly uncomfortable and I've never been treated like that at a restaurant. I wasn't rude or condescending and I felt so embarrassed. We even had customers come up to tell us that they didn't understand why they were making a big deal about serving us. It was embarrassing and I won't go back or recommend. I will also be filing a formal complaint. read more

If I could give zeros stars I would. Honestly this Applebees is so trash and racist toward the black community, the service sucks, the servers suck. I had a racist experience at this store . Mind you staff is full talking in the back. The server took 5-8 mins to greet us while watching us walk through the door. Then tells me there is a 15-20 min wait when the place isn't even at capacity at all maybe a total of 5 tables are being sat. As a former server the quality of my experience was terrible because we did wait and decided to leave after they proceeded to sit a person who wasn't black before us. As we were waiting I asked why didn't you tell them it would be at 15 min wait & she then says hold on to speak to her other peers, then comes back to try to sit us. If you didn't want us eating there you didn't have to treat us like it . The host Courtney with the two pigtail braids had an attitude with me after I asked why did they get seated before us. So of course I left. These are the type of people you all hire ? What happened to being friendly ? I had time today because I was in shock at the service & will not be coming back at all. How are your servers fully seated with a total of 5 tables being sat. This is 11:30 at night mind you on September 13, 2024. I will be talking to corporate about this situation because I would hate for someone to go through this type of treatment. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Great place to be! Good customer service and Applebees will forever be a classic go to spot

We love Applebee's--the one by our home is clean, the food is always great, and we can always catch any game we want! Makes it easy for an Eagles fan and a Broncos fan in Texas The customer service is always great too, our servers and bartenders are so friendly and accommodating! Love this location. read more

Me and my husband came in on Monday and Tuesday all because of Jersey. We meet her on Monday and she was awesome. She recommended options for us and we were blown away with our meal. CK and shrimp. Delicious. She our stay very comfortable and happy like we were family. She went beyond and we will be back. Great service. Scale on 1 to 10 we give her a 20. She's a keeper read more

I don't know what it is but I really really enjoy this Applebee's. The staff, the bar, the atmosphere, and most of the clientele are nice and classy (for an Applebee's) lol. Do you get some odd people up here either way but it is what it is. I've struck up many a conversation with people at the bar and people are easy to talk to. I prefer sitting at the bar and you get a pretty good view of the entire place. Usually after hitting up a movie down the street we come here for a late night snack and a beer or marg. read more
