The banana pudding was a complete miss for me. I honestly wouldn't consider it traditional banana pudding. The texture and taste just weren't there, and I would skip it altogether. Ironically, the most enjoyable part of the meal was the store-bought rolls with the honey for dipping. Fresh food is a great start, but Southern food is about flavor. Unfortunately, this meal just didn't deliver for me.

We had an impromptu family gathering here with eight of us. Our server, TD, was undaunted in…read moretaking good care of us. We started with the Broccoli Bites. The Broccoli Bites were very flavorful. They were made from Broccoli Bits that were wrapped in flavored cornmeal and fried. I had the Mint Julep and the Bourbon Smash as cocktails. The Bourbon Smash was a special made with Bourbon and smashed Maraschino Cherries and a dash of Cherry Juice. It was very refreshing. My partner had the Lemon Blueberry Mojito which was also a perfect drink for a hot summer day. Our meals consisted of the Seafood Pasta and the Barramundi. The Seafood Pasta was a large bowl filled with pasta, shrimp and scallops. The Barramundi was a nice sized piece of white flaky fish that was seasoned just right. This has become a go-to dining spot in Hartsville for my family.

Our calamari was under cooked and some of the flower was sticky and gooey the result of under cooking. The lobster roll....was just ok ...nothing to write home about . On a roll about 5" long with some lobster meat . The baby back ribs ..SOME OF THE WORST i have had. Definitely not flaking off the bone. As a matter of fact they were dry and chewey. Not at all tender. And as a note to management: throwing a lot of sauce on top doesn't make the ribs underneath any better. These were not freshly cooked. I will not be back......

These staff members are terrible!! The restaurant would do better if they took it seriously... Everyone leaves Hartsville to go to Florence because of this terribly run restaurant!! Just an embarrassment Blowing a golden opportunity to pull in more people since Hartsville is growing and new people are moving in at a high rate... I'm unfortunately... this location just sucks!!! No end in sight either...

First time at an Applebees to be honest and had extremely low expectations to be honest. I didn't…read moreeat the food, but read the reviews and was shocked. I just sat at the bar to kill time . The service was better than I would have expected, very attentive and on top of things . Would have given a five star except I didn't eat any food and I don't like being called boss man , probably a generational or area term . Other than that professional and attention to detail! Keep it up and you should make a 4 star!

Came with 3 decent sized hand breaded tenders, choice of 1 side, we went with hand cut fries and a dipping sauce. Unfortunately they gave us basic ranch when we asked for the pineapple habenaro which was disappointing. The other plate was the Spy dog box. 2 hotdogs with chilli and onion rings. The dogs were loaded with chilli and a fork was definitely needed. We had requested cheese on the dogs but this was missing. The onion rings were phenomenal. Light crispy batter cooked to a golden brown and not a bit greasy. All in all, we enjoyed our food. It more than filled us up. A shame the sauce and toppings were missing. For the 2 plates and a Pepsi it came to just under 20$.
