The bartender Ashley is so welcoming! Even if you have time to waste she will take care of you and make you feel comfortable at the bar. She’ll have you rolling with her stories!

Awful service. Just went in for drinks and appetizers. Drinks were ok. Can't speak about the appetizers because we never received them. Was the server with blond hair. Long fake eyelashes and braces. She was awful tried to say the kitchen was backed up when two other couples sat after us had already received there drinks and they're food. Don't waste your time here. We will never return.

I’m tired of giving this place a chance. All staff hide in the back. The host is busy with seating people, to go orders letting others know there’s people ready to be served but it shouldn’t take 30 minutes to get drinks. There are so many things wrong with this Applebees but honestly their #1 problem is staff. Either there aren’t enough people working there or there’s no one there to make the employees do their job. I can excuse a few things like dirty bathrooms, and a long wait time to be seated but when it’s 15 minutes to be seated and 30 to get a soda that’s where I draw the line. Food wise isn’t bad but when I ask for a steak to be medium rare and it comes to me burnt? criminal. I can’t with this place. Try anywhere else.

Usually come here at least 2 to 3 times a week. Honestly its hit or miss! Went last week had a lady ....idk maybe in her early 50s serve us. This was during ik past happy hour start time...she took at least longer then 10 mins to greet us. Then from there.... service ended up being so bad we ended up having the manager serve us. Then couple nights later we went and Mich was our server but also the bartender at the time. He was very discombobulated and all over the place good Lord if he would have just wrote our order down he probably would have gotten it right!! Or God knows??? Maybe he wouldn't??? That kid is all over the place. I can't believe hes actually a bartender in that restaurant. Then last night we went and MJ was our bartender. At first the vibe was kind of off, but as she star

Waitress only came by 2 times , we all ordered there happy hour half off appetizers. Would have been about 50 75.00 total. The manager came out , they didn't have any won ton tacos so they were gonna give us free appetizers. But there were none we wanted so we went from 75.00 total to 127.00 total. They discounted 6.00 off taxes . They really sacked. And this was happy hour . I know 5 of us wernt happy .they really need to stock plenty of the things they offer on there menus.
