Service was great, food was decent. We were passing through the area and this place was next to hotel. It was clean, attentive server, but the food was just ok. All three of us had different options. One had Chicken Tenders, one had a Burger, and one had a Steak. Nobody's was bad, but it was nothing to brag about either. Would I come back? Maybe, only if I was in the area and it was late. It is the only late "sit" down option. read more

I used to crave Applebees burgers, but the past few times I've been there, it has progressively gotten worse. The last time, the service was lacking general server skills, and the food was absolutely horrible. I had to reorder a different dinner for two of my guests so they could eat. I was not offered to see the manager, nor was I offered a discount of any sort. I completed the survey at the end of my receipt with less than favorable comments. The manager, Kennedy, contacted me after she saw my review. We spoke for a while and I explained it all to her. She said I'd be getting a refund. That didn't happen either. read more

We only saw our server 3 times the whole time we were there. We waited 20 min just for our drinks. When our server dropped off the food she just sat it down and walked away didn't say a word and we didn't see her again until we had to ask another server to grab her for us. Mind you I am a server so I usually can give them the benefit of the doubt but they were not busy at all. When my husbands steak came out it was wayy over cooked and I got the o-m-cheeseburger it was fine but nothing to right home about. Overall just not a great experience. read more

absolutely awful workers restaurant itself was dirty, was really hoping for more, the food is good just slow service and bad service

When there's nothing to eat in the middle of the night, Applebee's is usually a good choice. This location was a miss for me. My steak was overcooked, mash potatoes were average but the mac and cheese was way off. The customer service was ok. The restaurant is as little outdated when it came to ambience. read more

I like the service and jukebox. They have beer and food too. It's walking distance from the Holiday Inn. I've had good service from the bar to tables. The food has never made me sick read more

The 6 dollars mixes drink have to much ice in them an not enough alcohol. The servers need to do better

Service was better this time than last. They brought out silverware when the waitress came to the table. Got our drinks in timely manner. Host was not very friendly had sour expression on his face. Ambiance was good because they had all major games on the televisions. Will consider returning. read more

2 things I ordered they were out of. Twisted Hard Ice Tea & Angry Orchard. They were out of both. I had a cheeseburger!! It was ok but very greasy!! Service was good. read more

Was told the wait was ten minutes, but when I look around I see plenty of empty tables. Fifteen minutes later we decided to call it. Don't waste your time. There are plenty of other establishments that will work harder for you $$$. Close it down or find better help. read more

The most nastiest place I've ever seen when you sit down the tables are dirty. The booths are nasty. The bathrooms are disgusting. You go to use the bathroom. All three stores are full of tissue and tissue all over the floors. I recommend nobody to ever go here you rather I rather eat off the day on floor don't ever go to Albemarle location it discusses me that I have to add a star just to let this go through. I rather add an upside down star but that's not possible. read more

While in town for the week, I Came in last night for some dinner and a couple drinks. As usual I sat at the bar and was greeted by Lilly! She was great, very friendly and always attentive. I started with a corona. I also ordered the pretzels & beer cheese for my appetizer. It came out pretty quick so I waited a little to order my food. Lilly made sure I had drinks every time I ran out. For my entree I ordered the Sirloin with broccoli and mash potatoes. The food came out pretty quick. The steak was delicious and cooked exactly how I asked. The mash potatoes were good and had great flavor but the broccoli needed something to make it good too. Maybe some butter or salt and pepper, but that's just me lol. I still liked them though. The atmosphere was good. They have enough tv's to watch the sports you want to watch. Also if you don't see something you can always ask for them to change the channel. Despite the bad reviews I always like to check out Applebees when I'm out of town. Overall it was a great visit with great service. I will def come here again before I leave! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sirloin with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and broccoli - American Near Me - Albemarle, North Carolina

I feel so sad writing a bad review for this restaurant but it's all on corporate. They have handicapped this kind staff by offering terrible food. The ribs were old and dry. The salad would have better at home. They simply cannot survive in this day and age with this poor quality of food. read more

Said I could make a reservation- did that got there said they don't take reservations but we came early before dinner rush so no waiting. They food was not good like the chicken sale weird dressing and the steak was chewy. However the veggie were great. Kids meal good. Our server was good But I don't think I will come back read more

I came here to to enjoy sum food after a very long drive and it bought maybe sum Applebees would be good cause any one I've been to has been amazing.But I walked in and was greeted nicely once I was seated I was instantly givin menus and drink but after 10 mins We still haven't got food but then after we got our food, everything tasted amazing until we were almost done eating and there were multiple hairs in our food, which is obviously really really gross, but we didn't say anything and even after we tipped everybody, we started looking around while we were waiting for our waiter to come back. It took her 15 minutes to come back, but during this time we looked around and realized the place was really, really gross. There was holes in the ceiling look like it was collapsing. It could definitely be better, but I'm not gonna deduct too many points because that is not the employees fault for the ceiling. I would probably not come here again unless I actually had to. read more

Bout froze to death in this place and when asked to turn up heat was told that then the cooks would get hot. Basically the patrons don't matter as long as the cooks are happy. No need for cooks if patrons don't eat there due to frigid temperatures!! Even our waitress is wearing a heavy coat!! This is ridiculous!! Don't eat here!! read more

Great food great service beautiful drinks. Love talking football with the bar guests had a great time

I love going to sit at the bar with Tammy and Lilly they make great drinks and better conversation!

It is just not consistent . You can eat there today and its ok or even good but never great and tomorrow order the same thing and it will be worse also I have had several times when the were out of things . Way more often than most and service is hit and miss . Some are good others don't care at all read more

Got our apps before we got our drinks, a child ended up eating their yogurt with a fork because waiting on spoon took so long. Other child had broccoli in his drink cup. Last but not least the mold, dirt, and dust caked up on the ceiling tiles around the a/c vents and the rest of the ceiling was disgusting. Tonya is amazing though! read more

Absolutely love this place and the service is amazing we had a server Sunday afternoon around 2pm I think her name was Tiffanie (probably spelled that wrong haha) and her manners and service was on point. She was able to get me my order and make sure it was correct. My husband ordered the 12oz ribeye and it was literally cooked to perfection. So Applebees keep doing what you're doing because these people are amazing . read more

Great food and excellent, friendly service! Fast and courteous. Good atmosphere. Thumbs up!

The food consisted of a ribeye with garlic, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. The ribeye I had gristle all the way around in my scarf in the middle, the garlic mashed potatoes have no garlic flavor whatsoever and the broccoli was totally uncooked and could've went on a salad.! Absolutely the worst meal I've ever had an Applebee's, and I have eaten at them all across the United States. The service was good and the ambience wasn't appealing at all. read more

Service was good and food was good but i could definitely tell that the waitress was rushing us to get out..

Applebees is just a sure bet and when I'm out in BFE visiting family my choices are very limited. That being said I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here. The service is always spot on and the restaurant seems to be very clean and kept. One thing about Applebees I really like is that they offer a lot of different meals under the 500 calorie threshold. That makes it easier for people like me looking to make sure I don't over indulge mistakenly. It's so easy to over do it when dining out and this is a good way to keep me and others in check. read more

Very disappointed in food and terrible service. Miserable anniversary dinner. Drove out of our way to eat there and our server"E", looked exhausted first off, had an I'm tired feel sorry for me please look, and to her credit being pregnant is tiresome . But she clearly had no interest in our enjoyment of special occasion or the meal She wasn't good at all and we had to ask others for assistance. Music was loud to compete with tv'son all over place. If you love garlic and onions then this is place for you. We left her almost no tip due to lack of service and interest in us as clients . read more

*EXCELLENT* Our first visit to this location; SO much better than most Applebee's. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. The wait was a bit long; however, understandable due to the reduced seating capacity. I would highly recommend this location! read more

I ate here twice. The first time I had no problems and thought it was great! The service is so nice, I have zero complaints about that. However, after eating here for a second time I am a bit disappointed. First off, they brought my meal out on a paper plate, very ghetto.. and yeah I understand it is Applebees but I've never experienced anything like this even at other Applebee's location. Shortly after my meal was brought out on a paper plate, my boyfriend notices something on the floor. He says "What is that?" And points towards the floor. It is a roach. A baby roach crawling across the floor next to us lol. I literally never leave bad reviews and I was hesitant to even leave this one but I am a bit disgusted. I understand bugs will be bugs and it doesn't exactly mean they are a "dirty restaurant" per say but after the paper plate being brought out I was already on edge about my meal, although I ate some of it I lost my appetite quickly after seeing the roach. The overall experience was comedic because I just was so taken aback by the whole thing. Again, the service was amazing and our waitress and hostess were so so sweet and lovely! But, if you're someone who is picky about the spaces you eat in I wouldn't recommend this specific Applebee's location. read more

good food and everyone there is friendly. sometimes, the wait to sit down can be extensive if they don't have enough servers

My husband & I dropped in at Applebee's on a Sunday afternoon after church. We did have the expected wait to be seated, but that's normal for Sunday at lunch anywhere! Once we got seated (20 minutes tops), our waitress was very attentive. We had an unforeseen showing for a home we were looking at and she helped us to get our food quickly and then get us boxes and our check so that we could make it in time! The food was great - he got a burger and I got a salad. We will definitely be back! read more

We went for dinner tonight. The service just plain sucked. The waitress was horrible. We had no silverware, no napkins and no plates for appetizer. She never came back after we got our food to see if everything was okay, or if we needed anything. I was watching her bring drink refills to all the other tables and she ignored our table. I don't usually complain. I usually just let it go, but tonight I got the hostess and asked if she could please send the manager over. She said yes ma'am the waitress heard the hostess tell us that she was going to get the manager then the waitress decided oh, let me be nice and see if they need anything. I told her yes I check in the manager please the manager came over he could not have been more than 2627 and when I told him that the service stunk, he didn't know what to say. He said he would talk to her that's not gonna do any good. I told him we would not be back and that the food was good but the service had definitely gone downhill since we had moved to the area a couple years ago. there is no need for that kind of service they were not busy. read more

I come here after work often as it is one of the only places open later. Usually the food is very good and the service okay. But, they are always having issues with silverware!! It happens almost every time. And tonight the server wanted to give is plastic forks!! I was NOT amused! There is also a guy who is supposed to be hosting that stands at the front constantly on his phone. You would think they would have him rolling silverware since there is always a shortage SMH Where is the work ethic anymore??? read more

Quesadilla burger with fries and sweet tea to drink. Tea was good but fries were greasy like they had laid for a while and cold - the burger was ok and just warm (cooked but not hot). The waitress was attentive and noticed I didn't eat fries - offered to get me some fresh ones but at that point I was dis-satisfied with meal and I declined - only reason I am giving 3 stars was because she made an attempt. read more

This Applebee's clearly needs work on the quality of food and service. We enjoy their food when it is cooked right, but the last couple of visits the food has gone downhill tremendously. We love the Bourbon Street Shrimp & Chicken. They have changed the way they cook it and it was way over cooked our last visit. The Chicken used to be so tender and juicy, but now it is dry and tough. We told the waitress and she said all of it comes out that way now, because they changed how they prepare it. We have also had several visits where we have had to wait on our order to be taken for 45 min. Then over an hour after that for our food to come out. I will have to say that the last waitress we had was very good. It was the food that was very disappointing. I hope others complain so they go back to cooking the Bourbon Street Shrimp and Chicken correctly again. read more

We've eaten there twice this year and it's better than before the pandemic. Waitresses are top notch and friendly. Restrooms are clean and they are following safety guidelines. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - See I told you - American Near Me - Albemarle, North Carolina

Food is good, the staff are very friendly and they wear masks. I would recommend for a nice lunch or dinner.

Worst service EVER! Took the waiter 3 times me asking to get me lemon or lime for my water! And it just got worse after that!

I was under the impression that half and half iced tea was 50% sweet tea and 50% unsweet. Our waitress set me straight by informing me with the correct formula of 90% sweet and 10% imaginary. Service was poor. Would not see our waiyress for long stretchess. The food was prepared correctly. Restrpom was filthy with trashcans overflowing. Take a pass on this one. read more
