Applebee's Grill + Bar - SO GROSS - Sports Bars Near Me - Winchester, Kentucky

Since I am one to leave an honest review for a bad experience, it's only fair to leave a good review when warranted. Had dinner with the wife here last weekend and was very satisfied. I ordered the Parmesan sirloin steak with the blackened shrimp, with the 4-cheese Mac-n-cheese, and the garlic green beans. I haven't ordered a sirloin steak in years, preferring ribeyes, since the restaurant sirloins are usually tough to cut and chew and very dry. But this one was perfectly tender, juicy, and the right amount of pinkness throughout. The Parmesan topping was creamy yet had a little crunch as well, and very tasty. The five shrimp were fresh and tasty as well. The Mac cheese was savory, creamy, perfectly al-dente, and had stretchy cheese in each bite. The garlic green beans were nicely al-dente and flavorful. I have to say it was the best Applebee's meal I've had in years. So what is normally a 3-star place gets 5 this time. Well done. read more

This is my favorite place here without a doubt. If I ever want something out and don't have a decision, here I go.

I've been here many times and the food has been below average in the past; stale vegetables or what seems like simply microwaved entrees. I decided to take a chance a give them a try and I was disappointed yet again. This is the worst Applebee's I've ever been to. After almost 15 minutes we still didn't have anyone to take a drink order or acknowledge our presence. Several other patrons were in the same situation. We just got up and left and went to another restaurant. Extremely disappointing. read more

Save yourself the aggravation & drive 30 minutes to Hamburg. This restaurant is the worst managed restaurant I have ever seen. Takes an hour to get ice cold food & then they don't even give you everything you order. This is not based on a single experience. They are just horrible every time read more

Went to this place because it was close to the Clark Regional Medical Center. Waitress was extremely helpful and friendly (Jodi). She made sure that we never ran out of drinks. And our order to eating time was very quick. I very much would recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially if you need food while a loved one is in their hospital (only .4 miles from Clark Regional Medical Center). read more

Always the same experience with there food. Great service tonight, horrible order to table times, and once it got there it was cold basic bacon burger And fries that was extremely bland. This place never can find a decent and consistent cooking staff. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars was because of the service. read more

My husband and I ate here Sunday night. His appetizer sampler was good but I had to pick a lot of brown lettuce out of my salad. Also, towards the end of our dinner, while we were still eating, thE server came up and asked if this would be cash or charge. My husband said, "charge", and the server immediately did the transaction right there at our table on the interactive table pay system, while checking his watch. Since it was exactly 7pm, I'm assuming he was getting off work? It was rude to have us go ahead and pay while we were still eating. read more

Applebee's invited us back to make things right and the service could not have been better. They apologized and did not make excuses for what happened. read more

Atmosphere pleasant. Wait staff polite. Clean. Reasonably priced. Food good. We were refilled drinks without even asking. I would recommend this as a place to eat. read more

Pretty good food. Definitely nothing special but it was good for a chain restaurant. The waitress was attentive without interrupting which was nice. read more

I have to update this review. They have come a long way. Last 3 visits were top notch in food and service.

After much debate my wife and I decided that on our first date night in over a year that we would stay in winchester and not venture to Lexington and just have dinner and see a movie closer to home. Needless to say that was a mistake. We got to Applebee's with over a hour and a half to spare before our movie started.. After sitting and waiting for well over 15 minutes the waitress shows up and was extremely rude because she was mad the hostess opened up the booth searing section after she had closed it down or something of that nature and of course it was our fault that she had to get up and do her job... But anyways, I wasn't all that hungry so I just got a simple Mt Dew and a order of boneless wings with the sauce on the side along with both ranch and blue cheese dressing as my wife likes one and I the other. My wife was obviously complicated and ordered a Blue Hawaiian Long Island Ice tea and got the brisket tacos without Pico. See what I mean, that's a extremely complicated order..... (I got carried away here and forgot to mention that we waited over another 20 minutes between ordering our drinks and ordering our food. I sat and watched as my wife's drink sat on the bar for well over 15 minutes before the bartender actually got our waitress to deliver it to us..) Well once the food finally arrived my wings were cold and could have broken a window they where so hard not to mention I didn't receive the ranch nor blue cheese. Fearing it would end up taking another 20-30 minutes to receive my spit covered replacement wings I kept my mouth shut and just got over it. My wife got her food and I must say they looked Amazing!! They had been cooked perfectly, put together by someone who took pride in what they do only to be ruined by our wonderful waitress whom left them sitting so long the tortilla had become to hard to eat.... She did manage to eat the fries after the hostess took it upon her self to check on us after my empty drink sat on the table for who knows how long and she brought me a fresh drink and my wife some ketchup and mayo... She herself even made a comment that our non existent waitress had "obviously forgotten about us"..... So after basically having to chase her down to get our check and pay (yes I was nice for some reason and left her a 5 dollar tip, she may have sucked but I'm still not going to be a dick) we finally managed to get to the theater and only miss about 10 minutes of our movie... Do a hour and a half spent getting cold and hard food, no refills, treated like a horrible person for making someone do the job they agreed to do and a little making fun of a guy at the bar who I kid you not didn't stop talking to a girl beside him the entire time we sat there lol. She honestly may have got to say 10 words back to him lol. I could just about bet a second date isn't gonna happen lol! But anyways I recommend if you have somewhere to be then don't take the chance on getting this girl as your waitress as you'll more than likely be late lol! !! read more

This place sucks. Food wasn't great. Orders were took wrong. Waited over an hour for a steak that never came out. Just an overall terrible place I wouldn't go back. read more

They were really terrible!! Got brought the wrong food four times! Waited over an hour for my food and they messed it up..the waitress didn't even introduce herself until after I had my food. Was very disappointed with the service and the quality of the food...this is the last time for awhile! I asked to speak to a manager, the manager was nice but I didn't appreciate the fact the I was overcharged for food that I didn't order..when I spoke to the manager my waitress acted like I was lying.. read more

The food choice and quality has gone steadily downhill over the past couple of years. What used to be a menu of good value dinner items, prepared by competent chef's and cooks has now become mainly 'bar food' of inconsistent quality and showing the skill of minimally experienced line cooks. read more

Went here on a week night, not a Friday. We were able to park right out front. There were two of us. We looked around and there were lots of empty tables. We were told we would have to wait a few minutes, we asked, "Just a few?" The hostess replied we would be waiting at least 20 minutes. We left. Can't attest to the food. We just weren't willing to sit and wait while looking at lots of empty tables. Poor service. read more

AWFUL! Servers may be nice but the does not compensate the quality of food or the service. I have been here multiple times with my husband and each time i have to wait for over an hour to be served my food. The boneless wings are small and you better order the appetizer before you even get to the restaurant b/c you'll wait for over and hour on that as well. The worst is when they serve the appetizer @ the same time as your entree, I mean come on! it is an appetizer for a reason. P.S. A Well Done Steak is not supposed to be RED! NOT even mentioning the carside to go i thought that would be better but no. They get the wrong order every time not even to mention the wait time. i called in the order @3:20 and they said 20 min, well i was there @4 b/c i know they take time making the order and when i arrived i still had to wait 20 extra minutes!!! I ordered a ceaser salad and what i received was mostly croutons no lettuce (the dressing was poured on) I let them know, they said the cook was new. Next experience i ordered pasta and received steak regardless i went back and had to wait over 40 minutes for my order. I always give restaurants second chances on service but for the same mistakes to keep being made is not excusable and the wait time is preposterous. Don't expect your bill to be comped either b/c they wont even offer. If i could rate the restaurant any lower i would!!! read more

The service was fantastic and we all had a good time. It was very busy (veteran's day) but our server still took time to be warm and enthusiastic to our table of veterans. The only downer was the food poisoning I suffered from the 3 cheese chicken penne. I spent a painfully miserable night and following morning. Maybe there was someone in the back that didn't like vets. I'm giving this a top rating for the table service received. Obviously, the pain and suffering doesn't rate a star. read more

The food is never similar to what is presented in the menu pictures. Typical fare for a chain restaurant. Very limited vegetarian options. In an effort to improve this, I contacted corporate. In a very thoughtful, long email I was informed that I could order any chicken dish without chicken. Any beef dish without beef, etc. Not being interested in carbs, carbs, and more carbs, I have not been back. Put a veggie burger on the menu. read more

Walked in and stood at the hostess station and was looked at by about every employee in the place, finally after about 5 mins the hostess showed up to seat us. After we were seated the waitress came up and did the drinks then the food order. Got the drinks very timely but the food took 30 mins to get after ordering. Once the food came we were not checked on until my wife asked for a to go box. I ordered the triple bacon burger, was not worth $11. There was supposed to be a sauce on the burger and they didn't put it on, thank goodness I asked for the lettuce, pickle, and onion. Was about the driest burger I could choke down. The other orders were ok, not worth the wait for somewhat ok food. Probably won't be back to this location again. Very disappointed in the service and the food at this location. I could understand the wait if it was busy, but it was not. I talked with a manager there about our experience at her location. When I told her about the service and the food issue she really didn't seem to care and that I was bothering her. Not sure if she was a main manager but her lack of people skills and not much caring about the operation of her location was to say the least a shock. Most places seem to care about your experience at their establishment. On a later note, have been up most of the night with stomach cramping, not sure if it was from the food here but was fine until I visited this place. Definitely will not go back, may try another location. Usually have great service and food at Applebee's but this location is the exception. read more
