The service was fantastic. Our server Manon was very sweet and attentive. We had a party of 3 and for the most part the only complaint I have is my sirloin steak. I honestly couldn't chew it as it had gristle all through it. I definitely wouldn't recommend that again. But I do still love the restaurant and will go back. read more

To add to my review earlier. The restaurant needs to be updated. Also when we were trying to use the kiosk, it wouldn't give us a receipt. All the server could do was give us a printout, not an actual receipt. read more

Tried to eat there and no one came to the table. We left and no one noticed and there was plenty of staff and It wasn't busy

I got the new NEW Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Sandwich and added waffle fries I only got 6 fries and the chicken is a frozen patty it was gross and it was suppose to come with a bacon sauce never came with it had one tiny piece of lettuce and tomato a crap load of pickles and the cheese was that processed crap and bacon wasn't cooked fully!! ALSO WAITED 20mins Just for the waitress to pass us about 15 times before she even acknowledged us but she had to be told that we were here just to only get our order and bring us food and that's it!! ( this waitress has blue and black hair and tattoos) This Applebees sucks so bad do not recommend to anyone!! And my stomach is upset from this food!! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - NEW Bacon Cheddar Crispy Chicken Sandwich - American Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

The service was quick and courteous, but the food was problematic. I ordered the Shrimp & Parmesan Sirloin, which was great until I started noticing that one side of my steak was a lot more difficult to cut through than the other. It wasn't just tough; almost half of it was literally impossible to portion because I could NOT drag my knife through it. I might return some day, but will definitely stick to the burgers or chicken. read more

Our waitress seemed to busy to keep an eye on our table. The Dr pepper tasted flat and our food wasn't the greatest the spinach dip was awful. Me and my hubby got bourbon chicken and shrimp it was dry no cheese on it and the mashed potatoes were cold that I got mine loaded and the cheese wouldn't even melt. This was our last time there I will not be back. read more

The meal was great and the service was good. It was a relaxing meal we enjoyed. No wait at the time we went.

Used to come more to apple bees, the lines were so huge. Seems like the lines are not as bad anymore. The food is good, and if someone is interested in watching the games, they have tvs all over the place. read more

I have always loved their oriental chicken salad. Ordered to go a few days ago and it was horrible! The fried chicken strips were very old so i dont know how long they were sitting around, very dry, mostly breading, not fresh at all, had an off putting taste. Salad greens not fresh or crunchy, hardly any almonds, even their oriental noodles didn't taste fresh or crunchy, so disappointing how quality of food has gone down, huge miss! read more

Recently went to Applebee's after banning them for years after bad experiences in GA. The shark tank & perfect margarita were very well made & I ordered the Cajun salmon & he ordered a penne pasta. Extremely good value! Nice ambience & service read more

Our experience this last weekend was pleasant and would recommend this location to friends. Me and my girlfriend had the sampler with the honey sauce on the wings, it was hot and very good. The service was nice and not overwhelming. We sat in the bar area and the atmosphere was pretty standard. read more

Ordered 2 classic trio appetizers for curbside. Arrived and sat in the curbside spot a while but they never brought it out so I went in and picked it up. Left and as I was driving decided to make sure everything was in there and as I was checking I realized the spinach dips were both still cold, like straight out of the fridge type of cold. After inedible spinach dip we realized the cheese sticks weren't cooked either. It's like they were quickly dipped in a deep fryer but the cheese was still cold & solid inside like string cheese you'd give a kid out the fridge. Then moved on to the quesadillas and it was literally just a small portion of cheese in the quesadillas. Even my chips for the spinach dip were greasy and not crunchy.. the only edible thing in both trios were the 4 boneless wings.. I've actually never had this bad of an experience with an Applebees till I tried this location. read more

Exit 44 off Rt40 was a horrible experience! 45 minute wait for a sandwich and a salad, the restaurant was 1/2 full! Our server tried using Covid as the reason for the delay, I thought it ended a year ago I replied? The manager finally brought our food and it was OK, I couldn't recommend this place and would warn anyone reading this to be prepared to wait a long time.... Lastly my wife and I used the bathrooms on the way out and they were disgusting! PS. Our meal was free after my wife told her she was going to write on yelp, I can't be bought as I just wanted my sandwich and wife's salad in 15- Minutes like any other Applebees! read more

I don't get to Applebee's very often so this was a nice treat. The service was very prompt. Our server was very familiar with the menu and when I expressed interest in the oriental chicken salad she said it was her favorite. It was perfection, well presented and HUGE! This was a wonderful, and delicious experience! read more

This place should be closed. The service was absolutely horrible. I was traveling through and wanted to grab a bite with the family. We were sat right away and shorty greeted with menus. This is where anything positive stops. We ordered waters and after awhile they arrived. We placed our order and did not see our waitress again (despite the empty water glasses) until she was walking by with another tables food and informed us that our food was "sitting back there" and she'll get it soon. Another 5-10 minutes out comes our luke warm food. She then asked if we wanted more water. OUR GLASSES ARE EMPTY AND YOU JUST GAVE IS OUR FOOD! what do YOU think. She left and returned with a single cup of water that she divided among the 3 of us. Oh she's a smart one. She was bothered later when we asked for more water but out comes the rationing glass again. When asked I requested for a lot of pink in my burger. If you squint you can see some I believe. When compared To other Applebee's, this place is garbage with food prep. It took about 20 minutes to get our check and the dirty dishes were never cleared from the table. Will not return. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch on our way to a funeral. I ordered my "usual" Applebee's Caesar salad and French Onion Soup. Both were excellent, our meal came promptly, our dear server, Grace, was full of fun. The manager stopped by and actually visited with us. The restaurant was clean and quite busy. Most pleasant time and will feel good about returning if I'm ever in the area again. read more

The service was horrible. I waited a hour for my food that was completely cold and made my stomach upset after only a few bites. I asked for medium well done steak and instead they gave me a steak that was well done or should i say close to being well done. I also ordered Mac n cheese but received something that didn't even come close. It was penne pasta in some white sauce that looked nothing liike the picture or the description on the menu stated read more

We were traveling thru today and stopped in to have lunch. This is our first and last time at this location. We eat at Applebees a lot but it was a complete fail at this location. Service was the only thing that did pass today. We sat at a high top in the bar service took our order but the bar was very slow with the order. We ordered food and I took one bite and before I left the parking lot I lost my stuff. It was awful. read more

Who would think that closing the men;s room at 8:30 pm for 30+ minutes for cleaning in a restaurant whose best qualities are sports TV and cheap beer is a good idea? Fine example of piss-poor management. read more

Food wasn't great. Service wasn't much better. ID was snatched, was given attitude when food didn't taste great. Waitress kept mentioning how far behind the kitchen was, like there wasn't enough time for our expectations (chicken that didnt taste like complete vinegar or dry) of decent food. Thanks Applebee's read more

Had amazing Mexican across the street after waiting for one of the eight workers to seat us, then Christy never came to get our drinks, while two people that came in after us were being served. Eight workers and more than half the tables were empty. read more

Food was good but the broccoli wasn't even half cooked every time I get it. Ask for silverware and condiments soon as you are seated or you will be waiting a long time to get any. Your food will be cold before you get silverware napkins and condiments. We always have a hard time getting those things every single time we go. And we go a lot read more

Order the neighborhood double burger and got a patty that's was cut in half. What a joke and waste of money avoid ordering that at this location. read more

so I went to this Applebees on a nice Friday afternoon for some wings with my grandma well not only is that what we got but also some EXPLOSIVE waste I mean turns light on in there and the house will BLOW I mean stuff I ate when I was five came out full on BODY CLEANout but the wings were good anyways and the NASCAR cup series was on and a bunch of old men were in there drink and what looked to be chocking each other out. read more

We will definitely never be eating here again. There are 8 servers on the floor with about 12 tables seated... approx. 30 minutes passed between our food arriving and the waitress coming back to the table. When she came back, she had the check printed already. Never checked on how the food was -- we both needed sauces. I'm shocked at how bad that service was. also, a month ago we ordered dessert from here via a delivery service and I am not exaggerating when I say that we somehow received a box with a tiny corner of the wrong dessert in it. Just, avoid this one. (and also, bless the staff, certainly it must be something else going wrong...) read more

Food and service was good but I wanted to write a huge thank you to the manager, Kenneth. When I got home, I saw an incorrect charge on my credit card. I called the restaurant and was immediately directed to Kenneth. He went above and beyond to help get this corrected, even though it was later determined that it was a mistake with my bank and had nothing to do with Applebee's. I was impressed that he was concerned and helpful and I appreciate it! read more

I went for a long time without eating here. Just grew tired of it. So my mother and I ate there a couple weeks ago. It was really good! The service was amazing! When you go, PLEASE ask for Patrick Mears for your waiter. He's on top of it and does check on you several times throughout the meal! I highly recommend it! read more

Great experience. We had a bad day and after getting far away from the nightmare lunch that happens earlier. Will address at the end. The manager was the one who seated us and as he greeted us he was as polite and kind as he could be. The meal was perfect and our waitress was a pleasure. Wish we lived around her but always next time. After telling them about the nightmare we just left they brought us a dessert on the house and thanked us for letting them serve us. They were nice enough to let us take a picture. 5 star classy! To the other thing.... after spending the night at the casino we ate at a local spot called Paul's. Stay away worst service ever. For more details read my lengthy review with pictures. read more

I understand being a server and seeing your table not leave you anything. But when you come to the table with a attitude from the get go don't expect anyone to leave you anything. We came in to apple bees tonight, and our server, didn't catch her name. But she had long red hair. Well she came to the table, and you could just tell she had an attitude. I let it go, throughout our meal her attitude just got worse. So we used the tablet at our table to pay, and left nothing on the credit card tip. We were just gonna tip with cash. She came to the table and I asked for a to go box, she came back with our receipt and no box. I asked again and she completely disregarded my question. Another server walked by and I asked her for a box. I hear the server who was waiting our table say guess I'm not making no tips tonight really loud. So she was exactly right. I left her nothing. I refuse to tip someone whose attitude was horrible and is rude!!! read more

Was great food and great service ! My steak was cooked good and my husbands as well they treated us with respect was a wonderful evening will be back ! read more

I had today off and i had an AMAZING time today here at Applebee's!!! Free was an amazing server! She had me sold with these new 5$ drinks & ALL YOU CAN EAT WINGS? YOU KNOW THIS IS WHERE I WANNA BE AT! read more

We visited the Ashville NC Applebee's on 9/30/23 at 5:22pm. Walked in door and was told they had no hostess, ok! That's fine just seat us and get menu! We stood there for 5 min before girl came back from talking to two men, I assume manager or something, she showed us a table and took our drink orders. Brought them back quickly and said our waitress would be by shortly. Well after 15 min. I flagged one down who if course wasn't ours but she would tell her. Asked for a refill on drinks. This took another 5 min. Finally took order and brought drinks. 30 min later we get food but no napkins, or silverware! Had to get up and ask for silverware! This is honestly the worst experience I have ever had at Applebee's and have eaten at many! To top it off food was cold when it got to table We go through Ashville NC alot but will never stop here again. Gives Applebee's a bad name!!! read more

Typically don't mind going to Applebee's. This particular Applebees is closer to me than Hendersonville location. The Host and the GM's Cowboy hat wearing son were awesome. The wait was extremely long for a 2 top table due to the fact the the food was coming out of the kitchen slow, I'll admit standing and waiting for a table while looking at several tables can be very frustrating. When we sat down there were dirty knives that in window seal. Our Server was really nice, ordered spinach dip and came out stale we sent it back. Kitchen compensated us with a discounted ticket and we're extremely nice. Towards the end of our meal the GMs cowboy hat wearing son actually came to check on us and it was a pleasant surprise. He's quite young he seemed very concerned. My experience wasn't that great with the food alone but the service definitely made up for it! Everyone was really nice but the chef needs help or to be replaced. read more

Free was our server and not only were the endless wings great but talked up the 5$ cocktails and they did not disappoint! We had a great time at applebees! read more

Love love love some Applebees they have the best food and great deals. Not to mention it's not far from my house.

This was the only option open on DoorDash and I placed my order an hour before they closed. My driver had to wait for my food at the restaurant, which is 5 minutes from my house. My food was COLD. I had to put the mozzarella sticks in the air fryer. I paid extra for sub cheese and bacon, which was missing on both burgers. One of my burgers was RAW, as in mushy and cold on the inside. I chose "NO PINK" option on menu. The fries of course were cold, but the buns were so soaked in grease they were WET. I know it's just Applebee's, but we ended up with no dinner. read more

They certainly are having their pandemic/economy difficulties. Curbside pickup is not working and really should be posted on their website to go inside for orders placed online. It takes a long time for orders to be filled. There is a need for this restaurant to inform its patrons upfront about the timing aspect!!! read more

Omg!!!! So yummy!!! Best fries in Asheville!!!!!! Mushroom swiss burger was amazing lava cake to die for!!!!!!!! Patricia "patio" great waitress!!!!! Manager checked on us!!!!! Only down was while my puna colada tasted wonderful, there was very little alcohol in it. The taste made up for it tho!!!!! I wanna go back tomorrow!!!!! read more

"Granted, we arrived at 10pm and they close at 11"... We waited 15 minutes for the manager to actually come take our orders. Food was cold, service was terrible and we were there until midnight. Don't waste your time! read more
