A plus service and great food. Drinks were watery but still had a good experience. I would recommend

Great location and convenient for us but be prepared...on a busy night, service is terrible. Slow to get drinks out from the bar and food was slow to arrive. We ordered the perfect margarita. The first round was perfect..2nd round had so much sweet and sour or margarita mix, it made my throat sore. Maybe its just because it was a Friday night and it was busy but it wasn't a perfect experience. We will definitely give it another try. read more

I have grown up in WC and have not been to this Applebee's in 5 years. Until last night. And as I suspected it was just as bad...if not worse then I remember. I walked in and was seated by a hostess in a stained shirt and yoga/pajama pants (classy). We waited quite a while to be asked what we wanted to drink. Finally we ordered about 20 minutes after being seated. I will say that the food came out freakishly fast...which may have been the only positive thing. I ordered the bourbon street steak. It came out sizzling with a side of what looked like breakfast potatoes. I asked for the steak medium. ..and when I cut into it...it looked grey, overcooked and almost translucent. The seasoning was gross and I promptly sent it back. Do yourselves a favor ans skip this place altogether...drive the extra few minutes to new tampa. read more

Food was gross, I had the whiskey chicken and my girlfriend had the sirloin. Should of went next to door to chilis. Server never came by to ask us how our food was. read more

It's nick-named crapplebee's for a reason. Confused looking staff, waitresses who are either very new or just bad at their jobs, and probably the worst house salad I've ever eaten. Should have gone to Chilis right next door. It would have been cheaper AND better. Parking was good, that's about it. Avoid Heathers section and maybe you'll fare better than we. read more

Absolutely the worst service Ive ever received in my life. Not exaggerating. I created a Yelp account specifically for this reason. We were straight up ignored the entire time we were in the restaurant. If I could give negative stars I would. Somebody in my party actually left a little tip and it pissed me off. After being ignored we asked for a kiosk to order our food and were given a dead one and then bitched at for picking up one that was working. After asking for food we ordered another waitress made fun of audibly for asking for help. Literally trash tier service. read more

Some of the food was not that hot, they replaced it though with no problems. The women's bathroom needed cleaning. Waitress was just okay!

Poor service and cold food.. Love Applebee's but not this visit. Don't think we will be back

This location is average in comparing to other dining experiences we've had, both at Applebee's and other like chains. Waitresses as well as managers are usually quick in wait time, as well as fixing any issues that may come up. We were, however, really disappointed to find out on my son's birthday that they "are not allowed" to sing at this location. read more

We just ordered take out and of course my order is incorrect. I ordered the chicken platter with buffalo sauce, fries and broccoli but there is no broccoli or buffalo sauce. read more

Good service, good food, and tasty drinks. This is what Chili's SHOULD be. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and they do a good job. Their menu and ambiance isn't anything to get too excited about, but it is not at all bad and some of the dishes are really quite good. read more

Applebee's dining in it is really good but don't get car service they don't bring it to your car and they don't keep it under the heat my fries were ice cold sitting in a bag by the back door next to dirty dishes want to eat that food read more

Meh. Three stars about sums it up. Everything about this place is mediocre. Not terrible but not great either. The quality of food and the level of service varies depending on who is working there at the time. They have a high turnover, so don't expect to see the same server twice. It's always packed, so it can get very loud in there and you might as well plan on waiting 10 minutes+ for a table and at least 30 minutes for food. Overall, it is generally clean and we've never had a terrible server. read more

Just left What an experience Bria**a was the bucket of joy......sarcasm! Rude and short gets you no tip! When the waitress seems aggrivated that you need time to order or snaps a wiseass remark when u ask for a menu clarification, maybe that person shouldnt be in the hospitality area Food was good but garbage service read more

Picture this: It's Wednesday night, you're chillin' with your friends at a bar and your server hands you your tab for $100 (hey wait I wasn't finished drinking...oh shit I should just be done drinking) and you realize that the night has come to an end. You try to go to Beef O' Brady's, but they close at 10, you try to get some liquor and chill at a friend's house, but damn, even they close at 10. Screw this suburban life, we want to continue drinking and we're hungry! Applebee's to the rescue! Open late, bustling, great service, and cheap drinks! A nightlife right here in the WC. Who'd have thunk it? After swallowing the $100 bar tab elsewhere, we were relieved to see the specials offered. 2 for 1 drinks, half price apps, oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about. After munching down on a basket of wings and some mozzarella sticks, and finishing 2 perfect margaritas, our check was less than $15. I WILL BE BACK! And next time, I'm bringing more friends. :P read more

Went to this location in Wesley Chapel for a late lunch and it was not very busy. We were seated right away and our waitress came right away and took our order. Our drinks came right away and our appetizer was there pretty quickly but we were done with that and waiting for our main course for longer than usual especially considering that they weren't that busy. Our food was good and our waitress kept our drinks full but mixed up my hubby's sweet tea with unsweetened. I thought that the portion of fries that my husband got with his chicken was pretty skimpy but my Oriental Chicken salad was really good. I wasn't too thrilled that my view from my seat was apparently of the employees smoke break area on the patio outside my window with three being the average on break while I was there. Maybe that explains the slower service. read more

My latest dining experience was disappointing. My husband and I have had a few meals here and bought gift cards for our family, which offered bonus gift cards for us to use. Well, today we decided to redeem $20 worth towards our Valentine's Day dinner. The server took them and cash to the register. We were surprised when he came back and told us that we could only use $10 worth of the gift card. Talk about feeling scammed! You can be sure we won't be back. We'll also be sure to tell all our friends and family. read more

I received a gift card so we went to Applebee's to use it. I honestly am not a fan of this type of restaurant and this visit didn't change my mind. It was Valentines day so we did expect them to be busy. We waited 20 min for a table. The place was packed so it did seem reasonable. I had a cold coming on so I wanted something hot to drink. We sat down and I asked our waitress what drink is hot besides tea or coffee. She answered tea. She came back quickly with our drink order and she took our food order. we got the 2 for $25 special. 2 meals with a appetizer to share. We also ordered sweet potato fries. Very quickly a few minutes later, our waitress brings out our main dishes. I asked what ever happened to our appetizer? She goes, "oh wow I don't know I'll check. Oh wait here it is now". So we accepted the food a little upset since now something is going to get cold. We ate our apps then started on our main dishes. We didn't even eat 1/2 when our waitress came back and asked us. Anybody ready for desert or a togo box? We looked at her and said no. We waited for the manager and made our complaints. He said the usual, so sorry, I'll speak to the waitress. he did offer to pay for our apps and also free desert, but it really did feel so un-genuine. Waitress then offered to take our plates away and my BF replied sternly , "no". Our valentines meal was ruined for us. Then she forgot about us. We were going to just leave the gift card on the table and walk out, but we knew it didn't cover the whole bill. We had to ask another staff member for a togo box. My bf started to stack the empty plates to the end of the table to give a hint we were done and wanting the check. We waited 7 minutes for the waitress to finally come over with the bill. We declined the free desert, just wanting to leave. Honestly the food was pretty good! The sweet potato fries were awesome, but we will never be back and hope our friends and family never give us a gift card for them again. read more

Service was great. Restaurant was very dirty. Waitress didn't remove any used dishes, food was cold, chicken dry and hard. You might want to head to Chili's next door instead. read more

If you get take out, be sure to REVIEW YOUR ORDER BEFORE LEAVING. We got home to find out I did not have ANY shrimp in my supposedly shrimp salad. That's right, a container of very expensive spinach and few things to add in.... How on earth do you manage to do this? Can I ask for my tip back? At least an apology? read more

My family likes this chain; I don't think I'd go if it weren't for them. That said, the staff is friendly and they have some decent deals (99 cent kids meals and 2 for $20). I like the game machines at the table, they make for a fun wait. The ladies restroom needs some bleach and a makeover. While there was no trash build up, it is dingy and smells bad. read more

Horrible customer service, especially for to go orders. It happened once, it happened twice, and happend a third time. I placed a to go order, and once you place the order online it says they will take out the food to your car which is not the case, therefore, I walked in into the restaurant and I stood in there for 10 minutes and none of the servers including the manager even say hi or came up to me to ask what it was needed. Again, this is the third time the same exact thing happens. I thought about putting a complaint but it seems to be on unnecessary to put up a complaint to the manager when he is not even given example to his employees of greeting a customer. The lady in charge of the to go orders seemed to be very busy at the kitchen therefore I don't consider it her fault, I did told her that they must step up their game, as the restaurant next-door" chillis" has a pretty good customer service When it comes to take out orders. Unfortunately, this are the things that make you decide where to go eat or place a to go order THE SERVICE! read more

This business needs to go out of business. It is poorly managed by the staff and owners. Both times my wife and I ate there we ended up sick to our stomachs. The hygiene of the serve staff is terrible. The rest rooms are better at the public parks. The food is frozen out of the bag microwaved garbage. Will not go back for health reasons. Over priced. Go to Golden Corral for better service, fresh food and prices. read more

My wife and I have been going to Applebee's for years and we noticed a big change a few years ago (not a good one) when they brought on celebrity chef Tyler Florence to be the "face" of the restaurant. Menu changed, prices went up and food quality seemed to have gone down hill. We used to go 2-3 times a month and now have been twice in the past 3 years. Tonight I came up with the brilliant idea of going to Applebee's which turned out to be a horrible idea. It started out decent with the new pretzel and beer cheese dip. For dinner I ordered a new menu item. The 9oz. GRILLED sweet onion sirloin with crispy mashed potatoes and garlic spinach. The reason I gave 2 stars and not 1 is because the sides were pretty good. The steak however was another story. I don't expect a great steakhouse quality steak at a place like this but come on. I ordered it medium and it came well done, I took 2 bites and sent it back because it was like chewing on a piece of chewy salisbury steak. I don't ever send food back but it was gross. I asked for another one cooked properly. The next one came cooked almost how i like it. I don't know how they cook their steaks but its like they take it out of the freezer and microwave it. When I cut into it, it bled like I was cutting into a live cow. It was still really chewy and the only reason I ate it is because i was starving. By the time I was done eating my steak the plate was covered in blood and I couldn't finish my sides because they were drenched in it. Worse steak I have ever eaten. Can't go back. I wish they would go back to the old Applebee's. read more

The esp service predictor is neat, but I feel as though you lose an important aspect of service.... the personal part! Our server was good, food was good.... have the fiesta lime chicken! read more

I don't understand how this place has customers. Problem 1) they got our order wrong. But no big deal, it's not the first time this ever happened. 2) they got our order wrong again. Wtf? 3) they didn't replace the wrong order that we waited more than half an hour for. 4) I started drinking. I just turned 21 so my tolorence isn't so great yet. Wellll... I down FOUR margaritas in an hour and a half, the last of which I chugged. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TANKED. But nothing happened.. Like I mean nothing.not even that warm tummy feeling. SIDE-NOTE: one margarita at primebar I'm giggley as hell, two at chilis and I'm tanked. 5) I asked for the manager, I asked him what's up with the drinks. He tried to feed me some crap about a controlled pour and that I must just have an AMAZING tolorence to alcohol.. But eventually he offered to take the drinks off the bill... Never did, read more

Literally hate this place. Been here a few times and every time there seems to be this manager that make me feel not only super uncomfortable, but also extremely unwelcome. I don't know his name but hes kind of heavier set with blonde hair and glasses. He's just absolutely God awful. Pusses you around and talk down to you to the extreme. Cant stand it.. Got the cheese sticks and they were super terrible. Just disgusting and unclean. Everything about this place is the worst. read more

Carside service is terrible! Kicking myself for giving this place another try. Same service as before, You order and told 15 to 20 minutes, you pull into the parking space and wait another 20 minutes, This time I flagged down one of the many staffers who came out on the patio and ask about my order. She worked in the kitchen but went inside to help. They did not have any record of my order. The guy next to me had been waiting longer and if I had not said anything he would still be waiting. The server finally came out and was flippant and could not understand why I was upset; A manager came out and was more interested in praising the kitchen worker for telling him than listening to my complaint. The server finally came with my order while the manager was there and said I am the one who took your order and I put it when you called like what is the big deal. The manager accepted her excuse and left. My bill should have been torn up or let the flippant server pay for it. Not Happy read more
