While traveling in Bismarck we decided to go to dinner here at Applebees. Not sure of the consistency of different stores and states but I was totally disappointed with the chicken oriental salad I got tonight. I was at an Applebees in Minnesota two weeks ago and the salad was on the 2 for menu and I ended up bringing home half my salad. Not tonight. I ordered off the regular menu and appeared to be one chicken strip cut up on my salad. And the cabbage was a lot of the core of the cabbage. Totally disappointed. I guess it will be awhile before we return to an Applebees. read more

We had a large groups (15) dinner at Applebee's this past Saturday night. They were able to seat us quickly even though there was another group of about twenty young girls that came in just after us. Food and service were great and the dinner very pleasant. Really responsive waitresses did a great job with our large family. read more

NEVER GO TO THIS APPLEBEES! They are running a scam. They send you a $20 gift card. You place an and if it just over $20.00 they tell you that you cannot use the gift card when you pick up the order. I even asked the person I placed the order with if I could use the card and pay the balance due. She told me I could do that. When I arrived at the Applebee's I was greeted by the pierced tattooed lady who directed me to the fat bartender. Before I pulled the gift card out of my pocket she told me could not use it for the order I had placed. I told her if that was the case I did not want the order and turned to leave. She called the pierced tattoed lady (turns out to be the manager) and the pierced tattooed manager said I could not use the card. I told her to keep the order and turned to leave. She asked the fat bartender why the order was taken by the "central office". I told I did not know. I told her I wanted the card back and she said she was going to "fix this" I thought she was going keep the card to make herself uglier with more tattoos and piercings. Avoid this Applebee's at ALL COSTS! read more

Couldn't leave a zero so here it goes... :( We were there Sunday night. 2 of us ordered "all you can eat" and 1 ordered from menu. First round showed up cold and dry. The fries were like they had been sitting for long periods, times possibly only to be be measured by sundial or calendar. Actually past the soggy stage and resembling stale dried out husks. It hurt my teeth to try to chew. Chicken and rib-lets also cold and dry. The kind of dry you get when you forget to put leftovers away and see them out the next morning. The word terrible is an understatement At that moment I realized what all you can eat meant. We gave them benefit and hoped that the first round was delayed due to our menu item. Round 2 just as bad. Ironically had to wait a very long period (ordered immediately) for not so fresh food. Not sure if the food was pre-maid earlier for all you can eat special and/or waitress delays. Almost had to be combo of multiple factors to create such a masterpiece. We were at tail end of day (8:30) if this should even matter. Have suffered intestinal issues for last two days Not even kidding. Regrettable I didn't just walk out, may never eat there again. read more

Food was terrible worst apple bees I've ever been in left most of my food there the only good thing they had was the beer

Half price apps is always a good idea with friend for something to do and a nice little place to eat!

Our server was amazing- the rest of the experience was not. The hostess was inept and had a difficult time deciding at which table we should sit: the restaurant was not busy. Perhaps she was too preoccupied with checking her phone. I ordered the salmon, which was cold. In addition, the broccoli tasted like it had been frozen, and the greens beans seemed to have been from a can. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I always enjoy going to Applebee's during happy hour(9p-close) for their half price appetizers. The food and service is always good, especially when Nick is our server. read more

Applebee's is Applebee's, not much of a change. However, the customer service and overall morale is low. Nobody seems cheerful that works here, it kind of worries me... like are you all okay? Is management treating you all okay? I've come here quite a few times and just receive non-friendly vibes. The food is typical Applebees, comes out pretty good. It is pretty clean, but sometimes can get chilly in the winter months. read more

What the actual....I went to Applebee's today for lunch for the sole reason of looking forward to my favorite desert. The food menu is....edible. Nothing really standoutish about it, but it's ok. The one thing, the absolute one thing that Applebee's had going for it was the Blondie desert. I ordered it and the server said it has been changed to some Carmel covered garbage that is just as generic as the rest of the menu. I'm so disappointed but oh well, at least there are many other restaurants with good food choices that I can go to. read more

Food is okay. Service is horrible. We were asked how many in party 4 times. After we haf already waited for 20 minutes. They could not figure out how to seat 5 adults and 1 baby. Kept asking if a booster seat would be okay because a high chair could not be used at a booth. Even after we said no, they seat us in a booth. We then get up to walk out and manager apologizes and finds us a table. Will not return. read more

I get the same thing every time from applebee's and have never had a problem with my food but after i cut my boneless wings, they were completely raw. After seeing this, I had lost my appetite completely. read more

Terrible customer service. Stood by the front door with several others while the employees stood around in the back. Finally was seated right next to another group in a nearly empty restaurant. Ended up walking out with 3 hungry children in tow. Also sold the gift card online that we intended on using. Won't be back! read more

Typical chain Applebee's. The staff was friendly. Only had a beer. They weren't very busy at 930 in the evening, however, there was a big party here. There was ample staff to wait on everyone. read more

Gave this place an unwarranted second chance after years ago finding bugs in my salad. Should have never attempted it again. When you walk in and the hostesses are rude enough to make you want to walk back out that front door you know what you are in for. Then they send you off to be ignored because they don't give anyone a heads up. No thanks, I'll go somewhere else. read more

The service was slow, but the food was horrible. We ordered hamburgers. They came burnt black and looked like a handful of burger was just thrown on the grill. No patty formed. It will be a long time before we go back. read more

Unfortunately 2 of the 4 meals weren't quite up to expectations. The bourbon chicken and shrimp tasted like whatever was cooked and not cleaned off the cast-iron pan they bring sizzling to the table. The chicken was obviously burned and blackened and not in a good way. The fish (which may be what they had to work with) was flat and soggy. The salmon was OK and the batter fried shrimp was OK. I have had a lot better at our local Applebee's. Service was 70% fantastic as the server disappeared after bringing 1 refill and never checked back after that until she brought the bill. Leaves room for improvement. read more

The hosts hardly greeted us, looked disinterested in our arrival, and them seemed rather confused on where to seat our party of three. Server forgot to bring us the waters we ordered and our food took quite a while to come out. The food itself was mediocre. A manager approached us and apologized for the wait and discounted our ticket, which warrents an extra star at the least. read more

Typical out of a box restaurant. Came for all you can eat rib let's that is completely misleading. I got two very small orders and never seen the waitress again. Too bad as we did not tip because of the fact she decided to disappear. Party of 8 and no tip guess she should of stopped by more than once. 8 ounce blue moons were good but come on serving ponie beers and calling that a special. If you want bland out of the box food than this is your spot. Restrooms were clean read more

If I could rate the service, it would be a half star because it sets the tone for how your food arrives, if its hot/cold/warm, and whether you get a refill in a timely manner. With the influx of population in Bismarck, Applebee's suffers from poor service and average food. Applebee's in north Bismarck gets 2 stars for at least closing the blinds when we were seated in a window that had the evening sun blaring through it (even then we asked for it to be lowered). read more

Don't even deserve the one star but I had to.. The waitress was very nice but the manager "expoed" our meal and we ended up waiting 45 minutes for a few apps... Kinda ridiculous... Didn't have time to complain because I had somewhere to be which is why I went there at 4 in the afternoon! Payed full price and didn't even get offered a discount. Wont be going back. read more

had a great experience here! thank you julitta for being an amazing bartender! you are truly the reason i will be back!

Terrible terrible! As soon as my wife , daughter, and I stepped in we got acknowledged by the host, and right when she's about to ask us how many in our party.. a rude manager, who later gave us the name of Chris, interrupted the host and completely ignored the fact we and another party were waiting to be seated; he continued to ask the poor host if she can stay later and mentioned she needs to clean the bathroom and so forth and completely ignored us for several minutes. That was just the start of it! We were seated at a booth where we WAITED 10 + minutes before we got up to leave. The same manager walked past our table multiple times as did some servers as well and we were not acknowledged. We looked around while we WAITED 10+ minutes and some servers would look at us and not even come to check to see if we were being helped. It was 5:30 pm on Wednesday (January 11) and the restaurant was more than half empty . My wife and I are both managers at a restaurant and never ever experience this. Extremely disappointed. But that's not all... before leaving we asked our host for a manager. When "Chris" approached us he seemed to already know the issue. I explained what happened and he just shook his head in agreement and continued to say, "yep, yep, yep" after each of my comments. I explained that we watched him walk by several times... which he replied that he thought we were helped. I told him that he should have noticed we did not have beverage napkins, the first indication that we had been acknowledged, and as a manager he should have noticed... he was also present when we were sat. My family and I do not go out much and this was to be a celebratory dinner. We were let down. We went to another place in town and thankfully continued our celebration, but our experience at Applebee's left a bad taste in our mouths! read more

Great service and great food! We had tried to go to Olive Garden for lunch, but ended up walking out after waiting 20 minutes AFTER being seating and getting no acknowledgement from anyone. So, we went back to the place that we seem to always have great service and great food - Thanks Applebee's! read more

A cook in the back was very loud and was yelling and swearing during a slow time. When i asked my server who it was that was so loud she told me that it was her store manager, very unprofessional and immature. i can see why the north store goes through 4-5 servers per month. He must be horrible to work for. read more

My recommendation if you are looking for take out service, spend your hard earned money elsewhere. I have tried to give this establishement the benefit of the doubt by being a repeat customer but after multiple attempts to allow them to win me over with service to rave about, they continue to fall short. As a frequent consumer of take out food this place service level for take out is well below those they compete within this market so buyer beware. Employees behaviors are a reflection of management, which doesn't say much about the manager on shift during this period of time. Ordered take out last evening on-line @ 6:04pm. Nothing difficult, 3 appetizers, pretzels, quesadilla, & cheese sticks.......6:04pm order placed. Applebees confirmed order received. Stated it would be ready by 6:26pm. Arrived @ 6:24pm. Only car waiting, with no service or acknowledgement until 6:38pm. 2 other vehicles pull in and are also now waiting. At 6:40 someone now finally acknowledged we are there, and confirms our order. Needless to say no apology for delay, but of course, we shouldn't have expected much formalized training in customer service since the individual helping was a table seater rather than an actual server. She proceeds to be oblivious we've just waited 36 minutes since we first ordered and now 15 minutes past their committed time of 6:26pm. Rather than understand our frustration she continues to the other vehicles confirming their order while we continue to sit and wait. FINALLY she comes out with our order @ 6:49pm. So 25 minutes we waited once we got there and 45 minutes after we initially ordered our small appetizers we were finally served. Pizza delivery establishement can delivery faster. To top off the miserable experience we were handed a bag of of cold/luke-warm appetizers. At least have employees trained to acknowledge the customer, apologize for missing time commitments, offer a beverage as they have to wait, and maybe most importantly how about just showing the customer their business is appreciated by communicating it. None of that happened, and the end consequence of terrible service is an honest assessment in hopes others are not treated in the same manner, because really as a service business it is inexcusable, especially considering there was no accountability, while charging full fare for service that is very much under delivered. read more

Took my family out too dinner, it was the worst food and service. We had arrived around 4 pm and my dinner was so over cooked the broccoli it was like eating mush.The steak bites that I had in the meal were so overcooked and dry they were not editable. My sons food was so cold it just looked nasty and who would want cold mashed potatoes. My granddaughter order Med Rare steak it was very well done of course she ordered all the extra topping mushroom, onions. They picked up her steak and made her a new one but did not recook the topping who wants cold mushrooms and onions on there steak after paying extra for them. By the time they brought her steak we all finished eating. They must have used whatever was leftover from lunch and threw it on our plates. The waitress and Manger showed no interest in making it right changing of shifts just wanted too get out of there. For the price I paid we could have went too Long Horn or Texas Road house and had a real meal. read more
