The food was ok, i am not too picky; the service is good. Busy Friday night and they were pretty efficient. Portions are nicely sized. Plenty TV screens. And they have decent dark beer from the brewery up the street. read more

The staff took for ever to come talk to us after my wife and my son sat down. They finally came and never came back to refill our drinks the food seemed to take a long time and the food was not that flavorful. But well it was late and not much open so we just stop here. But sorry I would not recommend anyone to go here much better places to go. There is Monk's and there food and service is exceptional. But here at the Applebee's in the Dell's they fell short. The restaurant was not even busy. Then when and after we had paid my wife wanted a togo box for my sons cheese Mac because he did not really eat while we were there and guess what they never brought us a togo box so we paid and just left did not want to wait any longer and needed to get back on the road due to still having a long trip home. So please check out reviews before you bother to waste your time and money and support this business. read more

(written by my nine year old daughter olivia) i HATE applebees it stinks. we went there when we were in wisconsin with grandpa and grandma. it was my first time going there. when we walked in it stinked. it smelled like old pickles and broken crayons. i made that combination up.the food was ok. but i like mcdonalds better probably. i dont think i want to go here again. read more

The service is taking a very long time, we have been waiting to be seated (a party of 2) for 15 min.

3.75++Sweet staff and consistent choices on their menu. Yes their menu is limited but still got some good choices for ya. We stopped here for some salads and high calorie mash potatoes, yummm, evil delights!! You can't go wrong w/ a quick bite on the way home for Applebees!! read more

This is a good place to eat. I wish applebees would add a little more to their menu. Some of the menu items may be over priced for what you get though. I ordered a 9oz sirloin and what i received looked like a 7oz along with a pitiful amount of mixed veggies and mashed potatoes, and shrimp top. This pitiful amount of food was $17! Butttttt... the food was GOOD. Everything was made to my request. The girl who brought my hubby and i to the table was a little rude, She was going to sit us on a center table, but we had told her we preferred a booth and she rolled her eyes and looked around for. Minute. There was 4 clean empty booths and she kept looking around like an idiot. I dont think she really wanted us anywhere else but where she had first tried to sit us, but if so, then why ask if we would like a table or booth to begin with? The best part about my experience here was the awesome waitress we had. Mystique, is her name. She is SUPER friendly, efficient, and all natural for providing excellent customer service. She made suggestions, patiently waited on us, checked up on us, offered more refills etc. She should be working on a higher end. Tables were clean, bathrooms were a little messy, but i still managed. Will i come back here? Probably yes read more

Absolutely Horrible!!!! Do not and I mean do not visit this restaurant!!! Me and my wife and son went while we were on a trip to the dells, we waited 20 minutes for a table, no big deal it was semi busy. Once we got seated it took 20 minutes just for a waitress to come to out table and acknowledge us. We knew what we wanted and ordered right away, our son is young and it was getting late so we ordered. 40 minutes later no food no waitress to check on us, until I see her sitting at the bar for more than 15 minutes chatting with a coworker!!!! No explanation on what is taking so long and no food!! We decided to leave and then the waitress argued with me about the fact the kitchen was busy!!! If we at least we're told.they were behind maybe we would have stayed, or at least if she wasn't sitting on her ass!!! Don't go Ever!!! There are plenty of better choices!!! read more

Service is terrible. Food took forever to come out. Drinks were very salty. Pasta wasn't saucy enough, quesadillas were burnt

Ordered a blazin Texan burger but they didn't have the ingredients. Manager only offered a dreary but insisted we pay for the meal

I came here with family and my two young children, they took forever to get the high chairs. Then they took there time serving the food to us. The food was good though and hot. They just have a hard time with large groups of people. read more

This place is bad. My family and I walk in on a Saturday night at 7:30. The hostess tells us it will be a 15-20 min wait. So at 7:51 we get seated. Our server doesn't come over to our table for almost 10 min. When he does come we put our drink order, appetizer order and dinner order all at the same time. After about 10 min our drinks and appetizer came out. Then another 15 min our dinners came. The food and portion sizes where ok. Then it took another 10 min for our waiter to come over and take care of the bill. I will not be going back to this or any Applebee's anytime soon. read more

Terrible service! Waited forever for appetizer. Wasn't in the least bit busy. When we FINALLY got our food, it was obvious the plates were sitting under a warming light for quite some time. My husband's rice was rock hard, my daughter's steak was super well done and un-chewable, and her friend's mac n cheese was dried out from sitting. We did complain and they compensated us. We even saw people leaving because they got tired of waiting for someone to seat them. Looking at the reviews of this location, something needs to change. read more

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews about this location. We were initially turned off by the reviews, but decided to chance it anyway because we had a gift card, and it was convenient to our hotel. We didn't regret it. Yes, it was obvious that they were short staffed, but everyone was friendly, hard working, and very attentive. We had a short wait for a table, which they apologized for. Our order was taken right away (Matt was our waiter), and our food was delivered in a decent amount of time, hot and delicious. The mozzarella sticks were great, as was the three cheese cavatappi w chicken and the triple chocolate meltdown - mmmmm warm chocolate goodness - for dessert. We had a pleasant experience, and will visit this location again when we are in the Dells. read more

Went for dinner for my friend birthday our server Amanda was amazing she's super kind and helpful ( request her ) our meals were wonderful and dessert were amazing it was triple chocolate meltdown will come back read more

Really good food and service was great. Our waitress was Deanakay she was great. I'm not sure what the place is like during the busy season but this time is was great! read more

Would not recommend this place their food was disgusting I ate a chicken Caesar salad with chicken that was at least two days old I would not recommend this to even my worst enemy read more

Came in recently while in town for the weekend. We waited after being seated for 15 minutes for our waiter to come and even greet us! Will not be returning here. read more

worst service ever. ! Would not recommend. Came here and thought and it would be fast but I WANTED TO WALK THE HELL OUT OF HERE. They didn't came and check on us at all. WORST SERVICE I'VE BEEN TOO. read more

The restaurant was disgustingly dirty, with absolutely no care on cleaning or clearing tables. When walking in there was no one to great us. About 10 min and a man came up to grab our group, he walked us back to the table and then asked what we wanted to drink. We waited another 20 minutes for a server to return to our table to take our order. The appetizer took over 35 minutes to come out, and then our entrees arrived within 1 minute after that. My steak was well done with both of the sides being cold. I advised our server of this and they took my plate back and a very obviously microwaved plate was returned to me after 20 minutes with a new gray steak. The server asked several times if we wanted any Pepsi products and that he was sorry for the wait as they were "extremely busy." There was about 3 tables in the entire restaurant. I would recommend NEVER coming here. All left unsatisfied. read more

I gotta say I had the worst experience at Applebees today. Normally I am not the type to complain but I can't let this one go. So we went to the Applebees in Wisconsin dells today and when we showed up there were 2 groups in front of us waiting, the waitress took my name down and let me know it would be a half hour wait so we decided to step out to the car for about 10 minutes and when we came back in the group in front of us were still waiting so we waited in the door way. About 15 minutes later the waitress brought the group in front of us to a table while we continued to patiently wait another 20 minutes went by and another group came in behind us... She then asked how many in their group and sat them down. She then came back by us and I asked if they were ready to seat us and she said I have to add you to the list because you guys were not here when I called your name.... How could you have called our name if we were standing behind the group that was before us on top of it as she was telling me that we weren't there when she called she was crossing my name of her clip board, after arguing for a little bit she added us back to her list and then never came back to seat us. After watching 3 large groups of people leave I decided to stand up and wave down a different waiter who then came up to us and sat us at a table right away and took our order. On top of this struggle we ordered 3 burgers that were burnt to a crisp and I also ordered a Mac and cheese for my baby that did not come until we were all finished eating. So needless to say I am very frustrated considering we were at that same Applebees 3 times this month and have never had such a bad experience. I am very disappointed and will not be returning. I would suggest if anyone goes to Wisconsin Dells please choose somewhere else to spend your money. read more

Worse Applebee's I have been to in my life. First they didn't have the food that I wanted. Secondly the server messes up my order. Then she comes back with my food and she still manages to fuck up my order again. The service sucks here. Expect to wait to get seated while there are open tables. read more

Terrible service. Male server apparently don't even understands English. Food took forever to come to our table as well this place is dirty, not clean at all. read more

A Favorite place, wait staff and managers are phenomenal. Bourbon street chic and shrimp! And Come on ! Long Islands People !!!! Flavored and Brutus ! Drop the Mic ! read more

We stopped to have a good site down meal and Just were blown away with their lack of hygiene. The place smelled like pee, the floors and tables were all sticky, I was able to get a view of the kitchen and just saw food everywhere. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. This place should not be open. read more

After waiting some time to be seated, we waited another 15+ minutes to order. When served, 4 out of 5 in our party received their meals-- with the promise that the 5th meal was on its way. We reminded our wait staff that we didn't have silverware to eat our meals. Several minutes passed, so we asked passing staff to please bring silverware to our table when they had a chance. After 20+ minutes, staff brought us 10 sets of silverware and the 5th meal. Bizarre. You'll do well to avoid this restaurant. read more

Stopped here last night and after waiting for the waitstaff we finally gave up and went to another restaurant. If someone had stopped at our table and said I will be with you in a few minutes we would have been stayed. Not a good experience. read more

I ordered a salad to go and when I walked inside I was completely ignored by the staff standing at the host desk. They didn't even give me attention and didn't seem to notice I was waiting for them. THEN I go to checkout my order and the lady at the bar says nothing to me and just hands me my receipt and places the food on the counter and just leaves. Very frustrating because I worked in a restaurant and I have never seen customer service this unhealthy. read more

Slow service, watered down drinks, food took forever to arrive and it wasn't even packed. If you have time to kill and don't mind waiting or don't mind watered down drinks.. Eat here! Other than that McDonalds is probably better read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I went to Applebee's last night with my boyfriend and a few friends. Considering I live in the Dells and have been here before I had already knew that i didn't really enjoy it too much. But since my friends liked it, I decided to deal. Our waitress seemed friendly at first but we had to wait like 10 minutes for her to show up. We ordered drinks and those came out in like 5-10 minutes. Finally we put in our order and our waitress was quite rude. I had said to my boyfriend while someone else was ordering that I forgot to order our appetizer. So I waited for her to finish writing down his order to tell her. While she was writing she says to me "I'm listening." In a very rude tone. I decided to brush it off. So she put our orders in and we all finished our drinks in like 10 minutes. So we were waiting for her to come ask for refills but she never did. Eventually our apps came out (someone else brought them) and our waitress still hadn't shown up. About 30 minutes after we ordered. Then about 10 minutes later our food comes. Brought by someone different than the first two. My soup was cold of course. Our waitress finally came back and was being kinda nice. Brought refills. Then she didn't show up for about a half an hour. We ordered desserts. I ordered a hot fudge sundae shooter and one of my friends ordered a cheesecake shooter and my other friend ordered a strawberry milkshake. The shooters came out about 10 minutes later. Mine was chocolate mousse and not a hot fudge sundae. About 10 minutes after we got ours, the milkshake came out. The waitress asked how everything was and eyed up my dessert. I told her it was not what I asked for. She said rudely "I see that." I was so irritated by that comment I said "it's fine." She didn't even apologize or offer me a new one!!! It took forever for her to bring checks and boxes. I was so frustrated with the service I received that next time my friends ask me to go with, I'll choose to stay behind. read more

We went there for the long Island ice tea special. Great price. Bartender was friendly and very accomodating. Excellent service.

Applebees has yet to give me the correct order! I have given them numerous chances whether it is a togo order or at the restaurant. The Sriracha shrimp are great but the drinks are poorly made most of the time. read more

I do not like to post negative reviews but, this was likely the worst dining experience my wife and I have ever had. Everything from dirty tables to poor service. The food was decent but not worth the hour wait. Very dissatisfied to say the least. No wonder these establishments are closing down in The Chicago area. I would have rather gone across the street to Taco Bell read more

Horrible service. Came in late for a snack [also just happy to be near an applebells] and encounted something I normally would just walm out on but. My order was wrong, still was almost charged for it. Food was meh. Drinks meh. The kicker was the service. At the bar sat a girl [I presumed was a guest] getting pretty drunk and loud. It became apparent she knew someone working in the kitchen because as we sat across from her at the bar she was screaming into response to him..all the way in the kitchen. After waiting for the bill to be corrected I noticed this girl get up after having a few drinks and help a server to a table...to serve them food. I normally expect this service minus the booze at a fast food place..but an Applebees? read more

Service was slow, when we got our food it was terrible. Taste, portion, and undercooked. Needless to say I won't be returning

All of there staff are either 15 or obnoxious. There's this one French guy who doesn't follow the #1 rule of working at a restaurant, the customer is ALWAYS right. I wanted this brunch burger thing without ketchup and he started rambling about how it doesn't have ketchup and how it's just the picture when it even said on the menu that it HAD ketchup. DON'T GO HERE! The staff are terrible. read more

I like applebees, but it is such a shame that they cannot get it together here in the Dells. We are locals and hate to eat at the restaurant since the service is soooo sloooow, but then we order takeout and never get everything we order. Tonight my husband called and asked to talk to the manager they have him on hold over 14 minutes and they will not pick up the phone and talk to him. read more

First i order a drink watered down. Couldnt order another. That came at the end of or sitting when she asked. ordered appitizer never got it ordered all u can eat chichen and rib meals got 1 serving. Then waited 20 minutes and was promised a desert to rectify this never got it. And still had to pay full price needless to say we left hangery read more

Will not go back. It was a weekend, so yes, busy. Finally got a table and ordered drinks and meal. Waiter brought drinks and we waited for 45 minutes and the waiter never checked back with us. Never came over to say, "I will check on your meal" or "It will be a so and so minutes". We were very hungry and tired of waiting, so we just left. read more

Was on vacation in the dells and thought Applebee's was a great idea. Ended up being a very bad mistake. It wasn't very busy, since it was a Monday evening. When we arrived, we stood at the door for about 5mins waiting to be seated. Then, after being seated, we waited about 10mins before our waiter showed up. It was approx 15-20mins before we received our glass of water. When the waiter was taking our order, you could tell he was getting impatient. When my grandma was ordering, he started to roll his eyes and shake his head, since she couldn't choose what she wanted. Food took forever to come out, and wasn't very warm. I don't think I've ever had such terrible wait service. I could get better service at a fast food restaurant that I got here. It will be the first and last time, I go to Applebee's in the dells. read more
