Don't laugh. Came by as it was right next to my Columbus Days Inn. Relaxed calm interior. We've all heard the C D'Elia jokes :) and was craving a Bloody Mary, .. it Y'd me. Bartender was working double time keeping all the campers very happy, respect and props, best part of AB's. Bev's were as expected, she made sure to ask questions and customize em per patron. Staff were cool, friendly; My grub came out hot; I walked in @ 9p on a Thurs. Beware, their hottest best hot sauce is Tabasco. Food was completely as expected; check their Shrimp Bowl if lookin to b happy and out. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - the bar and the televisions - American Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Our dining expirience provided us with excellent service, a moderate customer flow, that is pleasantly Inviting and has a casual, relaxing dining atmosphere. We ordered from the Applebee's 2 for $25 special. This included an appetizer (todays choice: Spinach & Artichoke Dip) which was delicious and 2 main entres that were convenient and budget-friendly options for an affordable sit-down experience and with generous portions. Overall great experience and a good way to finish out the business day with a quick food review & meeting. read more

I visited on a Wednesday after 3 pm and the place was practically empty until happy hour. I cannot recall the name of the dish I ordered from the limited time only menu but I do know it was part of the 2 for $25. I chose a double serving of mashed potatoes instead of broccoli because I don't like how they're prepared. Overall, this was not a bad visit and the bartender was super sweet...even the bartender who came at change of shift was a sweetie. read more

I was disgusted by the place they had dead roaches everywhere and was dirty and they don't know how to scan the right receipts they will lose the receipt and charge extra money , and Ted the general manager has angry issues and just all over the place the plates for the food was dirty had stains on them even on the forks just disgusting period . read more

It was my worst experience ever with service!!! We came to eat as a family of 4 with two small kids on Valentine's Day. We arrived around 5pm and we were told to wait for about 15-20min because they are busy which we expected. After about 15min we got the table. We had to wait for at least another 20-25min to finally see our "waitress". First she looked like she was drunk or on some kind of strong medication! We ordered drinks and food at same time. We were very hungry so my husband told her 3x if we can get at least salats first with fresh fries. She was weirdly smiling and said she makes sure we get it asap. Btw she was responsible for another two tables next to us (next to the entry door) and she completely ignored them. After another 20min she finally brought us drinks! And ask if we are ready to order. We said we already ordered the food 20min earlier!!! She looked puzzled and left. After another 30min with empty stomach and no more drinks, my husband decided to just go next door for some food and that's when she finally came with salats and food for kids so I asked her politely (even when I was so upset and angry inside) if we can get those fresh fries too and that's when she snapped ano raised her voice at me "she is doing her best!!!!!" Omg I just nicely asked and she promised she'll bring it asap! I had to ask for refill. Another 20min, finally got our refill (wrong drinks) and she brought the food for me and my husband. My stake was burned on the outside and completely raw on the inside (asked for medium well) but I ate it because I was so hungry (even when the food was so sticky from the burn) after almost two and half hours of torture!!! We had to ask 3x for mac&cheese for our daughter and she kept forgetting even after we paid for it. Btw she was checking on us from the kitchen door the whole time, not even ask if we need anything, just short peek and hide. All 3 tables were so upset at her. I wanted to talk to the manager but my husband didn't want me to on Valentine's Day. read more

Deborah was the best waitress/server we've had in a long time. She even MADE some thousand island dressing herself (and it was excellent) because they didn't have any. She was on point with everything and very attentive to our needs as well as the other customers around us. The restaurant was clean and the food was excellent! I wish I could have tipped her more because she obviously cares about what she does. I will be back and I will ask for Deborah! read more

We ate here today and it was really good. Service was prompt and polite, food was hot and very tasty.

The food is is good,there is great customer service,the ambiance was quiet.I do recommend!

Shay/Shae was awesome! She was welcoming and positive. She showed initiative with her service and went above and beyond. She definitely sets herself apart from other servers because of her excellent people skills and genuine personality. read more

Service at the bar was great. My app was timely and fresh. Main course meal was substandard. Not too much of an ambiance, too dark due to limited lighting. Most likely I would not return. read more

Burgers were disgusting. Service was OK server was too talkative. Scared my sister several times. The lady who was supposed to see us look at us walk in and then proceeded to go back on her phone and have us wait 10 minutes. Buffalo wings were mid. The atmosphere was very chill. read more

Visited Applebee's on Airport Thru way, Columbus, Ga. Dreamed of a delicious Ribeye Steak with Salad and Potatoes. The climate upon entrance very inviting. The hostess was very pleasant and granted my wish of where I wanted to sit by the window. My Waiter, Mr. Legendary was very helpful in sharing what I wanted to eat and accommodating my wants. He is very professional,caring, not in a hurry. Returned several times to see if my food and accessories were to my liking. Legendary adds flavor to the establishment! I was introduced to the Manager, Ms. Katrina, who greeted me with a smile and invitation to please return. She was very courteous and caring. I will return in the future with friends and especially myself because of the niceness of Legendary. My meal was the Tomato Basil Soup, House Salad with Ranch dressing, Bread Bars and Alfredo Sauce, Lemonade/Water, Median well 12 Oz. Ribeye Steak, Mashed potatoes. It was all pretty and tasty to my palate. Had to gave a Goody bag to go home. A great experience. Also Legendary knows the Menu he shares. Sunday, August 13, 2023 read more

A coworker and I went to Applebees for lunch, her suggestion. I was skeptical because it's a hit or miss with more misses with this particular chain resturant. We ordered the special which was the fajita plate and ordered the trio combination. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was and all the meat was tender and not dry..I would order this again. Our server was fantastic and had such a good attitude. read more

Service was 5 star, food was. The double crunch shrimp wasn't crunchy, several of my fries were raw. The Moz sticks were really good though. The chicken fingers were not like they used to be and were smaller, overcooked. Onion rings were really good though! Won't deter me from Applebee's, but could just be the location. However our server was amazing and was checking on us every few minutes! Id go back just for the Service and the moz sticks. read more

Came out to eat with my kids and our server was Kat, sweat at first, but was not attentive, never asked was everything alright, it took over 30 minutes just to get our salad and I had to ask for those, looks like she just threw some lettuce on a plate, absolutely nothing was presentable, she still never check on us then it was another 20 plus minutes to get appetizers which was nothing just mozzarella sticks, spinach dip and boneless wings. Then she continues to serve a table right next to where we sat even though they came in after us, so we just left & I will not be coming back again. read more

Maybe it was because I hadn't had a good meal in Columbus and was really hungry and had too high of an expectation, or maybe the food here just isn't tasty. NOTHING on the menu appealed to me. It was standard Applebee's fare: salads, chicken, nachos, burgers, ribs, steaks, etc. You know the drill. They do have a nice selection of sports (including my favorites: tennis and golf) on the TVs in the bar area. I finally asked the bartender which steak he recommended and I got it. It was a sirloin in a BBQ sauce. The menu describes it as: " A juicy 7 oz. sirloin & grilled sweet onion is finished with sweet & spicy Hawaiian BBQ sauce and served with steamed garlicky spinach and crispy smashed potatoes." The onion was 'ok,' the steak was cooked 'ok,' and was of 'ok' quality and the spinach was SUPER garlicky, and I like garlic. I subbed broccoli for the potatoes and was surprised they serve it without any butter, or even lemon to squeeze on top of it and the cut ends of the broccoli were **brown** ugh. I didn't eat a bit of broccoli - it was so pitiful, browned on the tips and dry. A good expeditor would have caught that. The wine offered was Barefoot label which is a really low line label, a step up from Boones Farm. The bartender and servers were friendly as was the hostess. It's located in a small outdoor mall. I think the bartender was a little preoccupied because he had a leak in the ceiling right from the air conditioner on this hot day. He and the manager were assessing it. read more

It's Applebee's I haven't found it an enjoyable place to eat since I was twenty sum-thing and thought that it was upscale eating out. Well compared to the Army rations I was used to at that time, it was "upscale". The tables were sticky and the menu's were even sticker. When we went in, around 5pm'ish, they acted as seating a table of 9 would be an issue. They initially wanted to sit us in a round booth, but we declined as we knew that would not be a comfortable fit. Several in our group were soldiers, that were graduating from nearby Fort Benning, and they had on their uniforms, so you would have thought we'd been offered something more accommodating. They blamed it on staffing and stated that only one section was open to receive a group our size. We were then offered several of the high-top tables pushed together. Again, not really interested. We had a few in our table, who didn Those are only nice when you are doing more drinking than eating in my opinion, so finally, they spit our group into two booths and we were served promptly. We received a 10% discount on our meals since we were staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, but the waitress told us that only the persons with actual key cards could receive the discount if we were going to get separate checks. Thankfully we had 3 key cards, so we grouped together that way and used the discount for each set of checks. Service was average, and at the end one groups check had items on it they had order but didn't receive. Those were removed without incident, and we basically went on our way. Nothing special. It's Applebee's. 40 of 100 read more

The staff and management at the airport thruway location have been such a delight! From the time that you walk in until the time that you leave, there is an air of welcome! Food is always great and Gary is a great server! He suggests drinks that always hit the spot. I can't say enough about the place! Thank you Applebees! read more

they are so fast with my food and nice and food was so delicious and they are so kind to me and my family and they

If I could give it 0 stars I most definitely would. First they only had Pepsi, Diest Pepsi and Mountain Dew to drink which kind of pissed me off but nevertheless I ordered the chicken Cesar salad and my chicken was cold so the lady just brung me extra chicken and thought I was gonna mix that with the cold chicken. She went and got her manager and he brung me another salad but then the chicken they brought me was extremely old. So I decided to not eat. My boyfriend food was okay but definitely didn't taste like it normally do and the next morning he was on the toilet. Definitely won't be going back here read more

This place got my husband hospitalized after an ER visit. He got an extreme case of food poisoning after eating here. He is a healthy man and does not have a sensitive stomach. I think there were definitely spoiled meat and the kitchen just used it anyway. I'm currently writing this review in the inpatient care room while my husband is having a diarrhea for the 12th time today. DO NOT EAT HERE read more

As far as this location is concerned, the staff is great! It wasn't a busy time when we arrived so we were sat immediately. Our server recommended some drinks and I took her up on the Perfect Margarita. It was actually perfect. It comes in the shaker so you get several glasses and it was the perfect balance of mixer to tequila ratio (which is harder to find than it should be!) For dinner, I had the Three Cheese Chicken Cavatappi and I can't say I was super impressed. It wasn't bursting with cheesy yumminess like I hoped but it was still good and filling. Overall satisfied with our visit!! The music playing in the background was really good read more

Very first time here. Order the quesadilla burger. I was very dissatisfied with it it was very not what was advertised. read more

Always a favorite of mines to go and grab a quick good bite to eat. I ate during lunch time one day before work. It was not busy but it was also only a handful of servers trying to serve everybody. The manager was helping deliver food and seat guest. My server was very friendly. The host was nice in greeting everyone who walked through the door. My food was great as usual and for a great price! read more

A group of 12 came to this restaurant for a graduation celebration. Needless to say the service was horrible. Not the server but the food came out 1 plate at a time. One of the people in our party ordered a salad and ww had to ask for it to be brought out. When it came out it was drenched in salad dressing. We waited 3 hours for food that came out sub par at best. The manager (Perry) came over and asked what did we want him to do. Really, you are the manager - what did he think he should do? Based on the experience - what really should have happen... I think he should know.. No one wanted their food for free we just wanted good hot presentable food that taste good. read more

If you going to this Applebee's don't the service was the worst ever, Ordered two salads first one came out the second one they had to redo it twice waited so long for the second salad that we just got it to go would not recommend eating there wouldn't recommend eating there to anyone if you want your food to be super super super and super late read more

I will never go here again. We have always been a fan of Applebees until a few weeks ago. We like to sit at the bar because we enjoy drinking a few beers with our meal. The bartender was too busy texting on his cell phone to actually take our drink orders. Once he took our orders he went back to his phone and continued texting before actually pouring the drinks. He acted like it was an inconvenience to take our orders. In a restaurant that makes most of its money on alcohol sales the bartender should actually be bar tending instead of working on his social life. I had this exact same experience at an Applebees in Newnan, GA over the holidays. I don't know if Applebees is doing a poor job by hiring inexperienced management or just sloppy bartenders, but we will not be returning to Applebees any time soon. read more

On July 4th I ordered the 2 for $24 thru Uber Eats and when I received my order~ fries were missing from the riblet platter. This is not the first time items were missing but this time I called Applebee's~of course they stated for me to come get my missing fries~after explaining that not only had I already paid delivery fee that my complete order would be cold by the time my fiance came up there so they cemetery remade my complete order which I commend~however~after my fiance gets home with the 'correct' order~the fries were STILL missing~this had to have been 1~total incompetence or 2~this was done on purpose~as if they were saying F~you for complaining~when you pay over $50(that's including delivery fees and tip)~it's certainly not too much to ask to get the correct order~it's as if when you order through a delivery app~the restaurant doesn't have to be concerned if order is correct because you have to go yourself after all to get corrected order~and by the way~they were NOT too busy to get order right the SECOND TIME AROUND~Even though it was not Uber Eats fault~I still had to go through Uber Eats to get a refund as by this time I had just had enough of the bull and wanted my money back~so all this to say that the service at this location is truly HORRIBLE read more

The second my family walked into the doors we knew it was gonna be bad. The host was rude and told us our table was gonna be 10 minutes. We sat and waited but the host was to scared to tell us to sit outside so she went and got her manager. After we went out side we waited for well over 10 minutes. There was 9 of us and we were gonna be sitting 6 and 4 (due to social distancing). There was plenty of room for our family to sit, but it took well over 10 minutes to sit us. It's bad when you get better service from the McDonald's then you do a well respected business such as Applebee's. If I could give 0 stars I would. Definitely not worth the trip. read more

I've been here a few times. I keep ordering a steak, and they just bring me steak. They never ask how I'd like it cooked. They just bring me an extra well-done steak. I've tried to tell them I'd like my steak medium rare, but they still bring me a well-done steak. I ordered a Caesar salad today and what I got was a pizza box fill with romaine lettuce and some Caesar dressing. One time, after I had eaten my dinner and boxed up some food to take home, I had to wait 15 minutes for the bartender to finish a story about his prom night to the only other person sitting at the bar. He gave me my To-Go food then turned around and told an epic tale of forgotten love and heartbreak as I sat there with my credit card in my hand. I tried to be patient and let him finish until he turned around and looked at me, and then continued with his story. After my terrible meal, I was ready to burn the place down. Once he finished his "war and peace" style monologue, he asked if I was ready to pay and it took everything in my power not to come across that bar and throttle him. I can't stand this place. You're better off going to the giant Burger King across the street. read more

We came in to avoid the late night fast food and were not disappointed. Our server Stephanie was very attentive and super nice. She made sure our glasses were always full and assured we were without need. Now, the only reason for the four stars was because of the food. It was pretty tasty but honestly could have been a bit better. The appetizer was great but our pastas were a bit bland and short on the serving size. However, the overall experience was pleasant and we most likely will return soon. read more

I've avoided Applebee's for quite a while since the quality of food has declined and had quite a few bad customer service experiences. I decided to give it a try for lunch today. Wish I hadn't. Service was good and fast so no issues there. However the food was just terrible. I had the 6 ounce sirloin with the grilled veggies and steamed broccoli. I couldn't eat most of the steak. Mostly I just chewed the flavor out and spit the rest in a napkin. Most of the steak I couldn't even cut because it wasn't meat. Just a large block of fat. It was cooked fine but not edible. The grilled veggies were just a soggy mess with way too much garlic butter on it. The Broccoli was ok but not cut very well. Very disappointed for a $20 meal with tip. I didn't complain because I'm sure they get enough of that without me. I used to love Applebee's, 15 years ago. Sadly I haven't had a good experience there in about that long now. read more

Apple bee's my favorite place for dinner. I usually go there twice in a month. My menu is fixed 2 for $20. strong point is every time i ordered food i get it as per my ordered and excellent taste.

After being told my wait time was 15-20 minutes, we ended up waiting 40 minutes to only be seated separated from half of our party of 5 adults and 2 babies. The waitresses seemed to not get along then had a bit of an argument in front of us then the plus sized one came and apologized about it. The food wasn't that great. I ordered the boneless wings with a side of fries and blue cheese dressing. It came back with ranch dressing and overly cooked fries. Our waitress was nice. 02/15/14 read more
