I had the 6 oz sirloin, broccoli , and coleslaw. It was tender and very flavorful . It has greatly improved since the last couple of years.

Ordered online, only for them to call me right before pickup time and tell me something wasn't available. I asked for it to be removed from the order, they said ok. Got another call as I pulled up to the restaurant to tell me they can't remove it since I paid online. This is too much trouble for mediocre food. read more

Date night on a budget? The 2 for something meals are a decent way to go. If you have a bigger budget, you really need to try the skillet meals. Tonight we were on the budget menu and the food was good but just...blah. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. We sat in the bar area so we can see all the TVs. The restaurant seemed clean and the restrooms were as well. I'll return when my budget is bigger because I really want to try that shrimp scampi thing in a skillet. read more

Had a great experience! Avery, the hostess was really sweet. She let us know there was only one waitress and then set us down promptly. Tammie, our waitress was exceptional! Even though she was the only waitress, you couldn't tell. We never ran out of drinks and she checked on us frequently! She deserves a raise! All of the staff worked together! The food was great too! We did the 2 for $25 deal and even had leftovers. read more

is was cold when it came out I will nrever eat ther again is horrible and my waitress was so mean like I'm going to sue them and the texture and my steak was horrible. It taste like raw. read more

We called the restaurant as we were leaving a baseball game twenty minutes away. We asked to be added to the waitlist. The lady on the phone was so nice and reassured me that we were on the list and wouldn't have a wait. We show up fifteen minutes later and guess what- it's a 25 minute wait whether you called ahead or not. She let me know it's a courtesy to call and tell them we're coming. read more

I'm a total food snob, but for the money this Applebees is great. I got the bacon cheeseburger, best burger I ever had. The patty was thick and juicy. their half price apps for happy hour and late night are a steal. read more

I would give a 0 if I could "Ms. Christy" the manager tonight said they were unable to put two tables together so they were trying to force my large family of 8 to sit a small table for 6 because they are not allowed to put two tables together since when does a restaurant not allow you to put two tables together? The food has always been bad at this location anyways. I will not ever be returning! read more

The clubhouse grille is the best. FOH manager Tonya said she would make this happen anytime even though it is a limited time menu item. Thanks for being awesome read more

Music: 10/10 - Best mexican restaurant music I've heard since Casa De Burro. If you play a song on the jukebox that isn't mariachi, don't expect it to get played. Goodbye dollar bill. Atmosphere: -6/12 - Its an Applebee's. Service: 3/30 - if you hate eye contact and love sitting awkwardly at your table for 20 minutes before being acknowledged as a sentient being, then you'll love this. Food: 13/100 - Was it food? I don't know. It came on a plate. I ate it, my friends are it, and we haven't died... Yet. Beverages: N/A - I was denied service due to my race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, favorite sports team, and / or lack of proper identification. Parking lot: +5,000/0 - if you want to chug a beer in peace without being questioned in order to make it through the rest of your dining experience without resorting to flipping tables and threatening the other patrons, this is the spot. Overall: Seriously? If you're deciding where to eat and applebee's is among your top considerations, you've already admitted defeat. Do you want what might be food at an establishment that caters to unhappy families and poor customer service with a slight possibility of getting stabbed? This is your place. Do you want a high class dining experience? You're reading applebee's reviews on Yelp, so let's be honest with yourself here: you don't. Stop beating around the bush and just let them take your money. Worst case scenario: you actually do get stabbed after being overcharged for mozzarella sticks. Best case scenario: you can say you ate at an Applebee's. read more

Horrible never coming here again!!! Table of six and 2 plates had long hairs on it! Disgusting. My daughter couldn't even eat after seeing that. The way they responded to that was rude! Like if it was our fault! And we paid for the rest of the food. Not even one star they deserve! read more

Great place for a nice dinner date. I absolutely love the BLT. I usually eat them at home a couple of times a year but Applebee's is worth it. Great service and the ambiance is nice. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a quick meal. Took a while to get waited on and when placing my order for grilled chicken Caesar salad I asked for some extra dressing on the side. 'Ok, no problem' My husband ordered a drink from the bar. Our meals were delivered by someone other than our waitress (I think it was the manager) and i again asked for a side of dressing. 'Sure, no problem ' I wait again and ask our waitress for the side of dressing and my husband asks for his drink. 'We're all behind but I'll check on it' He finally gets his drink and we both ask for my side of dressing. 'I'm sorry, we were out and had to make more' When my side of dressing finally arrived it was not even Caesar dressing! I'm not sure what's going on with this location but we will not return. read more

Good food, good service. Like that they continue to change up menu. Nice that they offer free meals on veteran's day for vets.

Usually, we don't have a problem with service or food here. However, we arrived & did not have a hostess upon arrival. Told a passing waiter we were going to the bar area to eat. Sat at a 2 seater table & waited 5 minutes for a menu. Had to get our own, waited another 5 minutes without any service. Got up & went to another establishment. Manager needs more employees which could be a sign of the times? read more

The waitress was nice but she kept forgetting our food, she also made the whole ordering thing confusing and the food was way to salty and the restaurant atmosphere was alright read more

For several months after new management the food has been great. Today the food was cold, I sent it back and it came back lukewarm. Now what? Try them again? It may be awhile. The wait service was fantastic. read more

Came here with 5-6 others in my extended family. It was very nice, & we even upgraded to a bigger table when more people came (we weren't all arriving at the same time). They do have some kid-friendly options on a colorable kids menu. There may not be a lot of vegetarian choices, but I just ordered a pasta dish without the chicken. It was really good! It takes a while to navigate the menu & find what you want, but I like having options. read more

Only our second visit to this location. Food was really poor. I had grilled chicken, flat, poorly seasoned; green beans---literally looked like they had been rehydrated and reheated---tasted that way too; blop of mashed potatoes----looked really funny and had virtually no taste. The "bacon" that was visible in the potatoes had no flavor. Really disappointed as this is a convenient location for us. Won't be going back. Not worth the expense for food that I could make at home that tastes WAY better. read more

We eat at this Applebee's when we take my parents out to dinner. I'm surprised by the negative reviews. Generally speaking I never eat at 'chain' restaurants because they all seem the same, but the main reason is that I like to support family owned businesses. However, this Applebee's consistently has good food and good service. Is it a 5 star restaurant? Of course not, but they do a good meal for the money. Our service tonight was very good. Athens doesn't have that many great restaurants so I have to say, this Applebee's still does a good job for the money. read more

Poor service and poor food. Not once but twice. Waitress got the drink order and food order wrong. We had to ask for plates when the fajitas we ordered finally came out after waiting over a hr on food. Ordered a brownie bite and they served it frozen. When manager came around and asked if everything was ok she seemed bothered that we did not say yes and told her about our issues. Why ask if you do not care. We will not be back. read more

Today 2 friends and I visited the Applebee's to have a little reunion and have a few drinks. We got the bill and realized the bartender, Heather S., had charged us for top shelf drinks. Heather never asked if we wanted house or top shelf, but felt she had the opportunity to up-charge us. We spoke to the manager, Josh Cooke, who stated there was nothing he could do about besides make this a "training moment". After realizing the cost difference between house and top shelf, which was $5 EACH, we asked to speak to the manager again. Josh would not come speak to us but sent another manager who finally settled by offering us a $25 gift card for future use. WATCH OUT. read more

Service was terrible. The food came out cold and under cooked. This is the second time service was like this. Over priced and it sucked.

Worst place ever! We went to the bar and since i forgot my ID i didn't drink. I understood that but what i didn't like what the fact the bartender and other employees were making themselves drinks and trying to be sneaky about drinking them. Come on Applebee's I know ya are not a 5 star restaurant but get your employees to stay sober during their shift!!!! We took our business to cotton patch read more

Service was horrible. Would walk passed our table several times, never asked us if we needed anything. Never even got a refill. Waited for TWENTY minutes just to get a tiny cup of ranch. Continued to walk passed our table. Then finally asked if we wanted our check. Finally gave us our ticket, it was incorrect. So we waited another 15 minutes just to find a manager. Ridiculous. Waitress was Kristin P. read more

Don't be fooled by the "new management" sign. Sat for an hour and couldnt get help. Our waitress would go around the opposite direction of our table. And we were being nice and friendly. Couldnt name a worse place in athens to go read more

The tables and condiment bottles are sticky, the food is bad and the service is not great. The little girl with a scowl greeting us should have been a sign. Will not be going back. read more

Great location with wonderful servers the atmosphere is great and the decor is nice. Our service was prompt and very courteous. The waitress was attentive and extra sweet to the kids in our party. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp with red potatoes - American Near Me - Athens, Texas

Placed an order to go. Soup & appetizer, 1/2 hour wait. Back to hotel I booked for my parents, with no plastic ware, crackers or napkins. Pretty sad for a to go order to be so poorly prepared. It seems like they're wanting "to go" biz, but it won't work if you don't train the staff. Let's let them have their soup without a spoon or make them go out again to get one. Could help the training some. Soup & app might have been good but they were cold by the time I could retrieve necessary stuff to eat it with. read more

I always have a great time here and anytime my family visits we come here! Our servers are always super sweet too!

First of all I've been coming to Athens for over 12 years and this place is the only place to really eat. I took a business associate of mine in for dinner tonight after being there just 2 days ago and spending over $150 with no problems. We walked in the front door talked to a half a dozen ppl in the restaurant that knew my associate and then we took a seat. We sat for about 3 minutes before we were approached by what seemed to be a dressed up billy goat that "told" my associate "we" had to leave in a very disrespectful tone. I interjected and told him this was my dinner guest and that he was here under my pretense. The guy looked at me and told me I did not matter and that I wasn't welcome there either!!! Now I have know clue who this random 12" beard goat thinks he is. But I run a very lucrative company that operates all over the country and I have never been met with a more disrespectful attitude from any restaurant much less a reputable, national chain. So I'm not sure what the GM Clint Kitchens is promoting with the people that he is hiring at this location but it seems to be running amuck. I call for an audit of this particular location by their cooperate franchise because this is not being run to the regulations outlined in there agreement. I would warrant anyone thinking of going to grab a bite to eat to steer clear of this place bc of the type of people that are hired to work at this establish, the people that work here are not indicative of the population that lives and works around Athens. From this point on my company nor I will set foot in another Applebee's location again and I will also do my best to spread the word of this experience to every cooperate company representative that we contract to weekly that this is not a place that cares about your business. read more

We've been going to Applebee's for years in both Cali and Texas. Always great service fast friendly and courteous. Food is always hot and served in a timely manner. Plates are removed and drinks promptly filled. Happy hour has the best deals. Can't beat those lil wonton tacos. Always a fantastic time here will always come back for more. read more

good but you guys need to get your website in order. you allow delivery to be ordered directly from the store but Don't deliver... stop relying on door dash, it's useless around Henderson County and don't allow delivery orders if you don't deliver. read more

I went here not too long ago and the food I got the first time was inedible. So I said I can't eat this, ordered something else and the second thing I ordered tasted like those nasty diet frozen TV dinners I used to eat. And the manager was acting like a zombie the whole time like she didn't care about anything that was going on-but I guess you have to be kind of heartless to serve "food" like that to people. The dessert I got was acceptable. read more

The food and service have really gone downhill. We ordered the steak. It was very fatty and tough. Will not go back.

I love going to Applebees. Never had a bad experience. If they messed up your order they will fix it asap. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. And over all clean restaurant. Love the margaritas there. They are the best. I was get the bourbon street chicken and its always amazing and cooked to perfection. read more

We got 3 appetizers and fast! Really great service and the manager made sure we were happy! Loved the tacos

Applebee's menu is now pitiful. They removed all the best salads and everything else was okay but nothing special. Our waitress was good but the food was mediocre. Applebee's also needs to get a real gluten free menu. read more
