Grilled chicken Asian salads with bread sticks two for $25 with an appetizer , we choose boneless wings , were great! Recommend these Salads as a great choice! They never disappoint ! I didn't take pictures this time. read more

The Empire Mall isn't what it used to be and the entire complex feels tired and in dire need of TLC. This AppleBees, connected to the mall, felt worn as well. Dining room was bright, but was dingy and smelled very musty. Staff were friendly and there appeared to be ample folks working, however service was incredibly slow. While I didn't expect much from an AppleBees at a dying mall, the bar was set low and this location couldn't even step over it. read more

Food was good but cook didn't follow instructions for both mom's burger and mine. I asked for little pink and got no pink and burnt around the edges. Mother asked for no cheese on burger and still got cheese. Wasn't too loud or quiet was perfect. Server was great though came and asked if food was good and if we had any problems around 4 times or so. read more

Excellent place to eat in the mall customer service is one of a kind. Very friendly people

My husband and I went here with our friends and the food was wonderful. The service was superb and the ambiance was great as well

Normally, I wouldn't eat at an Applebees, Chili's, etc. Mostly because it's frozen food served by line cooks making a below average hourly wage. Which causes the passion of cooking to be non-existent. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. We ordered the chips and queso and 2 Dracula juice cocktails. Both were really good. Chips were fresh and salty. Then we ordered 2 burgers for the entrees. Food was solidly above average. It's not a 5 star but definitely deserves more than a 3 star. I have no problems going back to this location. read more

Ryan was very helpful and happy to point out the specials, he was very prompt and professional. Making sure water glasses were filled and food was out of the kitchen hot. Even sure to offer dessert even though my plate was not clean. Something my mom would frown upon. read more

Sadly, it's hit or miss for both food and service. I miss the consistancy that used to be the regular for Applebees.

So busy but friendly. Looks pretty clean Glad you got the 1.00 margaritas back. Tasting good Where's the scary decorations read more

Food was great Our server took time to laugh with us Need a few more smiles from other servers read more

As a Director of Nursing Services, we attend many trainings in Sioux Falls and I was there for a week long training. I ordered food using this stores delivery. My order was picked up by a door dasher and the store sent me a text and said to work with the dasher directly. I then received a text my order was handed to me. Of course I did not have it. I called the dasher who continuously hung up the call when I called. I called door dash and they said because I didn't use the app they could not help me and the store refused to send me my food and no one was responsible for a refund. So I paid $60 for food I never received. If Applebee's is not going to hold anyone responsible and neither is door dash, I suggest you don't use either. So if you order and it says Kimberly is bringing it to you, best of luck. read more

The manager is the problem. After telling my waitress my steak was over cooked the manager came over. She blamed me for not reporting my complaint to the server sooner. I didn't argue with the manager but I should have. She is not customer first person. This is not the first run in I've had with this Manager. She should be fired. read more

Nice place to dine in. Welcoming atmosphere! Food was delicious. The service was excellent.

Came here 45 mins before closing, the service is really great and the food was awesome. I felt so bad for coming in late and I didn't expect anything phenomenal but they were so kind and the food came out really quick and tasted good. Our server Sage was so kind and was super attentive even though it was so late. The best Applebees I've been to actually! Thank you guys! read more

Got there at 7pm on a Monday night. Didn't get our drinks for 15 minutes. It was slow. Our server said he'd be right with us. Great no problem. Got our food, grandpa ordered soup and he's the only one without food. Said it would be right out. Ok understandable. BUT server did not check on us, to see if we even got our food, we didn't get a single drink refill or even asked if we wanted one. Fiancés dad had a beer and we had to wait to see our server so we could get another beer for him. He didn't ask if we were ok or anything at all. Was the worst experience of our life. Not to mention the sarcasm that came from him was just not funny. No one had a good time, we didn't even eat our food because our child was waiting 1 hour for applesauce and a quesadilla that should've been brought out asap per request. The sole fact of having to pay for a $100 dinner when no one enjoyed their dinner, is remarkably unacceptable. I get places are short staffed, but i have worked in the industry 10+ years and this was beyond anything I've ever dealt with. Wont be back ever again. read more

Run Of The Mill Chain Restaurant. Food Isn't Horrible But Could Be Better. Prices Aren't Terrible.

Great service , and good food , we've tried this location before and all I can say is they've improved and we will be going back

If you want cheaper food at a sit in restaurant, this is an okay option. Most of their food is honestly pretty mid. Went there this week and it was nothing to write home about. The service was not good either sadly - only made two easy requests and neither were done. disappointed read more

good food and great service Everytime we eat here the server is amazing. The food always comes out hot and fast. With the option to sit at the bar or a table we never have to wait! read more

Great Service. Great food. Thank you Cherl P for serving us!

45 min to hr wait Not all people have the QR scanner, so menus would be nice The waitress was friendly but really slow The bartender brought our drinks and the cook served us our food The food was poorly prepared. The steak was tough and over cooked The baby back ribs had little bbq sauce and hardly no taste NO BAKED POTATOES The green beans and broccoli were under cooked and almost raw with little garlic on them The best food was your caramel apple blondie which was awesome. read more

Appetizer platter was ok. Entree was delicious my only real complaint for the night was the bartender. My first drink was super watery and my second was so syrupy I couldn't even drink it. I picked Applebees because of the (usually) delicious drinks but unfortunately I was not happy. read more

Food was pretty good but nothing special. They do however get my order wrong every single time I come, no matter how many times I tell them

Decent service, greasy food, free refills on coffee. Yum. Downside, no service. Couldn't get any contact with the outside world from in here. Lol They're pretty steady each time I've been here, and there is never any fail of courtesy or customer service no better how busy they've been. read more

Not good for an Applebee's. very slow service. Waited over 20 minutes for food after ordering. Food so so. Had to ask for refills on my soda. Other Sioux Falls location is much better. read more

HIGHLY recommend Applebee's in the Empire Mall! The bartenders are awesome and Melissa the manager is fantastic! Excellent customer service.

Service was briskly efficient. Food was good. Brew house chicken was very filling. We will be coming back if nothing else come to mind read more

6 of us and 1 yr old. Two steaks came not med rare as ordered but well done. Got fries when ordered mashed potatoes. The tacos were cold except the slightly warm soggy fried onions. Ran out of green beans. Held the onions in my chicken and shrimp but held the mushrooms I ordered too. Waited a long time for food - took us 2 hours from start to finish. Very disappointing meal for our granddaughter's 1st Birthday. read more

This restaurant is decent and food is always as expected. The only things that REALLY gets to me is that basically with all of their younger servers, they will bring the meals out and then come over and ask if we want dessert five minutes later and then proceed to drop the check. They do this after I have literally had three bites of my dinner. I would really like to enjoy 45 minutes in a restaurant without being shoved out the door by these young servers. This never happens with the experienced servers there. Unfortunately my mother is addicted to their salads so I suppose I will be back. read more

Very nice server good food and desert. Did the 3 appetizers. Atmosphere was very warm and inviting lots to look at on the walls. In the empire mall Sioux Falls sd so you can go shopping after words read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bar fun bright festive good food music - Sports Bars Near Me - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

The wait time exceeded even the outside of what was expected. It took quite a while to get our appetizer and when it came I asked for plates for the table so 4 people would not have to dip breadsticks into the same cheese container. The plates never came. By time food came to the table it was cold. The women's restroom was worse than an outhouse it smelled terrible and all the garbages were overflowing and the floor had toilet paper everywhere and every sanitizer dispenser in the place I tried was empty. I will not be going back read more

Stopped in at 4 in the afternoon there were only 4 other customers there service was slow food was bland! Wont recommend this restaurant to anyone read more

Consistently good food. Very good service. Atmosphere is nice. The menu has a decent selection. Prices are fair for what you get. We will go back because we know what we will get. read more

Had the Bourbon Street Steak and it was good. However, the bartender Chas being on a power trip was a negative experience. Im 43 (almost 44) and he carded me for a beer. He claimed it was policy. I replied that id drank there before and not been carded. "Its policy" he said gain. Well, he apparently picks and chooses when he enforces (if it actually is) the policy. Another couple younger than me came and sat at the bar. They ordered mixed drinks and weren't carded. You and your employees should strive harder for consistency. That would make people's experience at your establishment much better. read more

We got there a little before noon on a Sunday. There was only two of us, and we had immediate seating since we chose to sit at the bar. Bartender working (Duane) provided excellent service. Food was good; we got the grilled chicken breast with bacon beer cheese topper and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Mashed potatoes are a little bland, but nothing salt couldn't fix. Overall very good experience. read more

Watched Iowa game 11/27. Bartender didn't wash hands before touching drink garnishments. I complained and received a comment and laugh amongst the fellow workers. All I ask is wash your filthy hands before touching my food!! read more

I love that it's in the mall. The service was fast and the food was good.
