I came into Applebees with modest expectations, but was met with the highest tier service I've ever had at a place like this. Our server, Dra met us instantly, checked in often, and delivered food and drinks in a timely manner. He even brought my last water in a togo cup unprompted to take back on the road. Our food looked exactly as pictured in the menu and tasted even better. The ambiance is overwhelmingly pleasant, with great music and overall good vibes despite not being too busy. Two managers also came to check in during our meal and made us feel like VIPs. This has to be one of the best-managed Applebee's restaurant with great servers. Everything was perfect! read more

Slow service, cold food, confused wait staff. Don't order the "all you can eat". 2 hours for early supper. 20 minutes between 1st plate and refills, 6 shrimp at a time and some of them not fried, grilled and cold. Weak drinks. First and last time. read more

Another pleasant surprise from a franchise I hadn't visited in approximately ten (10) years. This location seems to always be busy, so we thought we'd give it a try on a Sunday, just before the church crowd let out. I tried the Whisky Bacon Burger, which comes with pepper jack, crispy onions, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and Fireball whisky infused steak sauce, on a Brioche bun. Overall a great burger, at a fair value. The host, server, and manager (who asked how our experience was) were all warm and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant, and a standard setup for bar and grill type restaurant. This includes table seating, booths, high tops, and bar. As one would expect, multiple TVs in reasonable fields of view, playing sports. read more

We don't have one locally, but if in the area the Tupelo spot is decent. Good service when we were there, reasonably $, only thing keeping it from a possible 4 stars was the food. I got the all you could eat in Boneless wings. First batch was spot on, second batch wasn't bad. Now the third batch was overcooked, it might have been a hint to get me to quit eating, but that lost them a full star. On the fence on wether or not I'd dine here again. I'm not a local, so was passing through. Need to be better at first impressions if you plan to get tourists back. read more

Food was really good, really better than I was expecting. Service was very good and food came out very fast for a busy lunchtime

We went to Applebee's today lunch! We had the Fiesta Lime Chicken 2 for $25. We also ordered the Wings appetizer because it came with it!! Our server was great! We had fast service!! Our food came in a timely manner and everything was really nice!! read more

The food was amazing I always get the rib tips I think is what they are called love em with mash potatoes and another side . The service was great always love our waiters . read more

I like it. The food is good. Service always been good. I like the classic, the steaks are good. We don't drink alcohol at all. read more

Walked away from our drinks and order due to a HUGE roach just chilling on our table.

service was slow and we had a very awkward dude named chris. the steak was too done and the chicken strips, fries, and mozzarella sticks tastes like straight fish and shrimp. Maybe use a separate basket for the oil bc i expect to taste what i order and not seafood. not to mention we were rushed with the ticket AND THEN WHEN WE LEFT THERE WAS A ROACH IN THE DOORWAY CRAWLING. DO NOT RECOMMEND. they also did NOT ID us when ordering drinks. read more

Wonderful!!! Breazia was a wonderful server, she made sure we was taken care of!!! I wish I could have tipped her more!!! The place was clean and well kept. The food was amazing, couldn't have asked for better! read more

Chicken was wayyyy too salty to enjoy. Steak was overcooked, broccoli also too salty. Spent all that money to not enjoy the food. Not coming back. read more

Went for all you can eat wings. Service was terrible and they cut us off and told us no more after around 25 wings each. Will not be back.

One of the the most disgusting restaurant I ever been. The place is old and stinks. Not to mention they served me rotten cabbage on my tacos. read more

Definitely felt fancy eating at Applebee's! Applebee's is a guilty pleasure restaurant. If they had more waitresses working, it would be nice. The food is the same every time because we order the same food every time. read more

We ordered our food and they forgot to put any of the fries with it then we had to drive all the way back because they wouldn't credit the account for the fries. I would not recommend this place at all. Way too many restaurants in this area to waste my money on them. I would have given a zero stars if I could read more

We dropped in here for lunch right after noon on a Tuesday. The place was decently crowded but there were a good amount of tables available. The receptionist was not friendly at all and was very terse. He first attempted to sit us in the bar area even though we had a 10-year-old girl with us. I pointed out an empty booth and asked if we could sit there and he agreed but he was obviously annoyed. However, our server was very friendly. He was very personable and he made sure to understand our order. The food was OK. I ordered a 6oz sirlion cooked medium rare with broccoli and a side salad. The broccoli was good but a small portion. The side salad was also extremely small. The sirlion was cooked at least medium WELL even though I request medium rare. Table partners order the beer burger, sweet potato fries and a wedge salad. Sweet Potato fries were very good but typical. The wedge salad was good and had some really good dressing with blue cheese chunks but gosh it was drenched in the dressing. The burger was very good but it was very light on toppings compared to our expectation from reading the menu description. Overall, this place was OK. The nice server is what tipped this review to the positive side. Otherwise, the food was just mediocre and the price was not a very good value for the portions. read more

We visited this particular location while on vacation here in Tupelo. My husband was sent a e-gift card and proceeded to pay for a our meal with the gift card. While trying to process the gift card, the system kept telling the manager, Melinda, and our waitress, Skyla, that the funds were not available/ unable to process. Miss Melinda was VERY patient with us and explained step by step what the issue was but she also told us that she wouldn't stop until she figured out what the issue truly was. She called her regional and all! We had this issue at a another Applebee's in Clinton and thankfully we had they're regional number and he was able to walk her through it and it processed! The food was delicious and hot! We just want to thank this amazing staff for working with us! read more

Who ever gives this place good ratings must be on drugs. Terrible service. People who sat down and ordered after us got their appetizers and food before we got our soup. Then upon bringing our food, was notified that my food had gone to the wrong table and had to make mine all over so by the time I got my food my husband and daughter were almost done. Daughters steak was way too chewy, her and I both got the loaded garlic mashed potatoes, flavorless, pretty much inedible. I wouldn't eat mine. Will never eat here again when I'm in Tupelo. 1 star only because you can't give 0 stars read more

After avoiding the Applebees in Atlanta due to bad reviews (service), we were reluctant to try this location but we are glad we did! All five members of our family enjoyed our dinner here last night. (Two people in our group had penne pasta, two had hamburgers, and one had the bourbon chicken and shrimp.) Our food came out hot and was very tasty. Service was great and the staff was very friendly.! read more

Eh, it was ok...not great, but not terrible. I haven't been to an Applebee's in years but one of my guys wanted to go after work. Service was lackluster. We got one of those 2 for $20 deals because we actually wanted things that were both on that menu. That is acutally a pretty good deal. The regular items were $14 a piece. Plus you get an appetizer. So basically we saved $8 then got a free appetizer. Not a bad deal. I got the Cajun Chicken and Shrimp which was actually pretty good. For an appetizer we got the chicken wings. They were honestly pretty mediocre. They tasted like they were microwaved in a bag. In the future I'd rather hit the local places instead. read more

we went for lunch and ordered some lunch specials. my husband got the chicken broccoli Alfredo and it was really dry. he normally loves it! I got the chicken roll up and fries. The fries were good but it was hard to get ketchup for them. The roll up was awful. the chicken didn't taste like real chicken or even meat at all and there was very little of it. read more

For the past couple of weeks I have gone to AppleBees twice a week and I plan to keep coming back. The service has been good every single time, even when something might have been a little wrong it was fixed within minutes and without a single frown or complaint. The manager Britney even did amazing at making sure that everything past that stayed good. Some of the nicest and understanding people that I have ever had wait on me. Overall a phenomenal experience. read more

Smells like a musty old bar. How does somewhere not allow smoking yet still smell like a stale cigarette? The crowd is even more peculiar. we all know the food is pretty much frozen and heated, but it's exceptionally bad. Everything feels like it has a coat of sticky, cheap liquor drinks on it. And did I mention the food came out cold after a 45 m wait? Gross place. Definitely not coming back after hesitantly coming in the first place. read more

Quick service and great food. Very clean and well managed restaurant. We will definitely be back when we are in Tupelo!

My initial struggle with this place is the smell of something sour mixed with a nursing home kinda smell, as you walk in the door your nose is seriously assaulted by the rancid smell. The best thing about this place is that you can order and pay on the little table machines, I like that as I don't have to spend ages justifying my odd orders to the wait staff. The food is very generic and mostly frozen, but priced fair, you get what you pay for I guess. I simply don't enjoy the vibe in this place, it's like it has a bad atmosphere and is jaded. read more

I had the chance to eat at Applebee's tonight with a church friend of mine. My server was a woman name Keyana. She had 4 tables including mine as well as the large party booth. She had a issue with the large party booth food order they said it was cold. Keyana never broke a smile apologized to the woman and continue to be pleasant and sweet. She constantly keep check on all those tables with the same energy all night. I personally couldn't do it with the people of today and the attitude they have today, yet keyana did it all with a smile. So for pleasant service. When there ask if keyana is working. You want be disappointed. And the food was awesome the drinks were like I would say... To die for. But the server personality and character made the night a one well spent. read more

Front of house is rude. Wait times are terrible. Manager is beyond rude and we won't be back. Need I say more?

The waiter and lady at the front did great considering the amount of workers they had! Food was great. Peach tea was great, needs extra alcohol... read more

This is by far the best Applebee's experience I have had in a decade. I was traveling with a group across the country and the group stopped to eat here. Service was great, food was great, I might be turned back on to Applebee's after this visit. read more

I am just NOT a fan. The food was good, the service was as well, and the cost was reasonable. But, this Applebee's NEEDS a MAJOR OVERHAUL! It smells like old beer, and the CARPET even feels nasty (under my shod feet)...what restaurant has CARPET in it??? It just DOES NOT FEEL CLEAN. I would have NEVER gone but our dinner guests wanted to go there, so I acquiesced. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants because of the great food and atmosphere. The staff is usually okay, sometimes they're nice sometimes they're rude. When we entered we stood at the host station for a long time & almost left. Our server this past time was great. The only thing I would advise is to not use the restroom while you're there, it's disgusting! read more

I stopped coming to this Applebee's about almost a year ago. Figured, why not try it out again, it's been a while. All I can say is WOW! Food...amazing, Staff...amazing. i even had a manager come by and make sure everything was perfect. She uses the word perfect, not good or ok. She made us feel wanted and happy we were there. The floors were clean, bathrooms were clean. I was shocked to see such a difference. We will be back. Kudos to who ever the new managers are. You can tell the atmosphere is much more friendly. Ask for Dillon, best server have ever had. read more

Seated quickly, service good. I had new menu item, Grilled Dijon Chicken & Portobellos and it was very good.

Great service but average food. The girls serving and at the bar were always fooling with their hair then make a drink or serve food. Not good! read more

Hubby had the beer pub Philly cheese (and I had to have a bite) and it was awesome. I got the Classic-Classic lunch combo: Thai shrimp salad and tomato-basil soup. They were both great, but the soup was just amazing. Creamy and not too acidic. Our server was Jessica and I have to say, she worked behind the bar and was still very attentive and helpful to all of her tables. We will definitely sit near her in the future! We had two managers (maybe one was district?) check in on us several times. Overall, best ever visit to any Applebee's - including Oxford and several in Mobile, AL. Will DEFINITELY be returning!!!! read more

the bartender took our order right away. awesome service keeps the drinks comin best applebee's experience yet! will be back! Darby is the best come see her! Red Alburn hair girl that's really cute!! read more

Wonderful service. We had about 10 family and friends show up after another restaurant wasn't open. The waitress handle our orders and drinks like she had only 2 customers. Clean restaurant with very nice host staff. I love that they reserve veterans parking space. read more

The food was mediocre at best. The pasta tasted like I vomited and re-chewed it. At first the Server was really nice and welcoming, I guess she was having a bad night cause she kinda turned into a nightmare. The good news is I had to use the bathroom, not because of the food but because she kept the drinks refilled. And by drinks I mean sweet tea...I'm a minor...I'm sure if I did have alcoholic it would help me to down the food. read more

I love Applebees' quesadilla burger and loaded mash (w/o bacon) BUT this location was by far the worst service and food I'd ever experienced. Our waitress seemed like she was purposely avoiding providing service because she would look at us and pass us by, never inquiring whether or not we needed anything. Our food was not very warm and it took our waitress too long to bring extra napkins. I do not recommend this location. read more
