The worse place to eat on earth I got food poisoning I honestly thought I was gonna die I threw up and had stomach issues after eating I had a steak it tasted like rotten meat It's so sad please fix this I wish Marvin Zinler read more

I was like waiting for 30 min for just a shake and soup so I do not recommend coming here in Conroe tx.Also they can't clean the tables on time read more

Gave Applebee's one more try and this was the last and final time. No more happy hour food and when I ordered wine, the bartender took out a measuring cup, that looked fairly dirty, and measured the wine in front of us and then poured some back in the bottle when it was over the allotted amount. The place just felt dirty and there was no one there on a Friday night at 5:30. read more

I always like coming in to this place. The service is quick, the manager always stops by to say hi, and the food is classic and tasty. The happy hour prices are always perfect with lots of options. read more

Please don't waste your time and money eating here. Service was terrible and food was mediocre. Waited 10 mins to get a drink order. Restaurant was not busy and there were plenty of staff. Looked to me like no one wanted to work, just plain lazy people. Wish I'd stayed home and cooked instead, it would have tasted far better than the food here. Big disappointment. read more

Service was Awful. They are way understaffed. Some guy came over, Wiped our table down with an old nasty rag, dropping crumbs all over us. Waited 15mins for a waitress. Ordered drinks and the Spinach dip. Which took another 15mins. Spinach is store bought but it was Free since We signed up for emails. I ordered the Fish and Chips. Which was surprisedly good. Nice and Crispy. Hubby ordered the (Penne) with Prime Rib. Which he substituted for Linguini. Which wasn't bad. The only reason we came here is because I've had a Applebee's $25 gift card since 2014. We don't need to do Chain Restaurants up North but it seems they do better here. The food is actually Decent for the Price. Maybe I got Lucky! read more

I would give this place NO stars if I could. The drinks were absolutely horrible. The pretzel and beer cheese appetizer was not cooked all the way, and the beer cheese was nasty. 3 of us got the 4 cheese mac n cheese with honey chicken, and 1 got the broccoli chicken alfredo and we have been throwing up all night. The atmosphere of the place was gloomy and depressing. We will NEVER go back again. Worst Saturday night out with the family we have had in a very long time. Even called to have them check the milk/cream and let them know, and the manager said all they could do was make a report! Did not say they would check it or anything. Be very careful if you do choose to eat here. read more

I actually had a really great meal here tonight. My husband and I met a couple for a double date at Buffalo Wild Wings during a popular football game. They didn't seem to care about seating us- so we thought about our options. Red Lobster or Applebees. We decided on Applebees, so walked right over. We were immediately seated, the warm air was welcome because it was 35 degrees out tonight! The booth was cozy, lighting low, the game was on!, and it wasn't too crowded. I ordered a Bourbon grilled chicken with shrimp and broccoli instead of potatoes. I had unsweet tea. Water. Buffalo wings with ranch to start as an appetizer. Our waiter was amazing- he kept our glasses full and was extremely nice! I think I would actually come back! read more

Walked in today for lunch and was sat promptly then ignored for more than 10 minutes. Guess I didn't meet their age requirement. Nice job to the EIGHT different employees who walked by and ignore my party. Will not be returning any time soon. read more

I have never been treated like this ANYWHERE IVE EATEN BEFORE. we walked in and we were seated immediately, however this is where the story gets good. We were passed by 3 waitresses who looked us dead in our eyes and never checked on us. Three tables were seated after us and were served drinks and orders were taken. At this point I asked the hostess did he let someone know that we were at the table and waiting, he said he would notify someone. So now 15 minutes has passed and no one has checked on us. So i went back to the hostess table and asked could they send the manager to our table. I notified the manager (Michael) of this unsatisfactory customer service and he actually waited on our table from that point on. However he's the manager so on top of everything he has going on he can't be as attentive as others. Our food came out hot, however I am so displeased with the service received today that I will never come back or recommend this location. read more

I used to come here all the time and loved it. Over the years I've seen this place just get worse and worse. We went from coming here once a week for yrs to maybe once a yr. The prices have gone up and the quality has gone down. The only thing they had left to cling onto was the bar vibe which isn't much of a vibe anymore. These are the weakest drinks for the most ridiculous price. I work in the restaurant industry and I know so many people that say this is a terrible place to work and it shows. They really need to step it up throughout the restaurant before they get shut down at this location. This place is just sad. read more

As has been the case, the last two times I've visited this particular Applebee's, the service lacked a lot to be desired. Additionally, most of the food was extremely salty this time! I will return to another Applebee's as I think that their chicken Alfredo with broccolini is really good. Unfortunately, this time, my chicken Alfredo had broccoli , which was a little tougher. Also, there was no consistency in the two drinks I had from the bar. They were made by different bartenders, and each one was significantly different from the other. Not happy at all! read more

This review comes in two parts: the restaurant and The to-go meals. We got there for happy hour (3-6 PM), during which they offer 4 half price apps (queso, spinach artichoke dip, mozzarella sticks, and boneless wings. We got all but the queso. Everything was lukewarm. The sticks were not goey on the inside, obviously frozen, and the cheese was strangely chewy. The wings were pretty good and meaty. The spinach artichoke dip came with tortilla chips and salsa. It was not great but not bad. They also have $1 Long Island iced teas right now. They're just okay, if that. They have every day $2 margaritas, $4 large margaritas, and $2 Bahamas Mamas. They do not make them by hand, and all mixes are premade, which made it awful. Everything was WAY too sweet with very little liquor. And there is no way to get around that because of this. So do NOT go here for a drink...even if the prices seem worth it, they aren't. You will pay for something you cannot drink. I got a coupon for A BOGO entree in the mail, so we ordered them and took them to go. The full rack of baby back ribs had pretty good flavor. But one half dry, overdone and had hardly any meat. Also, they charged me $19.99 instead of the $17.99 stated on the menu. Whatever, I didn't make a big deal about it, but it was pretty shady. Sides: the fire roasted veggies were delicious; the garlicky green beans were gross and not salted at all. I ordered the four cheese mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken with the chicken on the side and the sauce for the chicken on the side. The sauce was good and the chicken is three small chicken tenders. But this would have been really weird with the glaze in the macaroni and cheese. Separated, this entree was slightly above average, but not for $13. The service was friendly but slow. I was really unimpressed. I didn't expect gourmet food, but I didn't expect it to be below microwaveable-food-aisle caliber. I won't come back. Fridays and Chilis are so much better. read more

The only consistent quality about Applebee's is its inconsistency. My wife and I have been regulars at Applebee's for several years because they have great specials on appetizers, drinks, and meals every day of the week. However, the company is now in grave financial trouble and they are in the process of closing 150 stores. This fact is not surprising, and many regulars have noticed ample reasons why. After closing the Tomball store that we frequented without notice, we came to this location much farther away for their March Madness special. That was a mistake. Applebee's has become a disappointment, which is a shame, since we really enjoyed going to eat there before. They have also become rather inflexible with their alcohol service and their menu in general, which is definitely a change from before. My wife asked for a hand mixed Bahama Mama and was told she could only have their atrocious premixed garbage unless she bought top shelf liquor. Customers should not have to buy top shelf alcohol to get a hand made drink and she had actually talked to the bar manager a couple of weeks before, and she was told she could have a hand made drink of any kind. But my main complaint was the service. The food was quite good, but the server basically abandoned us, only checking on us one time during our entire meal. Over and over again she walked by our table, never asking us once how we were doing. Not only that, she sat down in the booth right next to our companion uninvited to take our order, which I feel is highly inappropriate. After dropping off the check, she never came back to pick up the payment. We waited 20 minutes before finally flagging down another waiter to accept it. Although business was busy at the beginning of our meal, it slowed down a lot toward the end, but the service never improved. The waitress neglected all her tables. Unfortunately, this will be the last chance we give an Applebee's restaurant. read more

My husband and l visited Applebees at the Conroe location, and we were very disappointed. We arrived at the restaurant at 11:15 am, and were greeted by a young man with droopy trousers down to his butt. NICE. Next, our waitress took our orders and then we waited for our drinks for about 15 minutes. I.noticed our waitress was over at the table next to.us socializing and showing the couple some photos on her phone. They promptly got their drinks and their food, and we continued waiting for our food. I asked her where were our drinks, and finally she brought them. So, now it is almost 12:00 noon, and our food has not arrived??? My husband and l were frustrated at this point, and we went over to the bar and asked for the.manager. We told him we were leaving since it had been 45 minutes since we arrived, and had not received our food. Not ever going back to this Applebees. read more

If you ever go to Applebees in Conroe ask for Brooke the bartender she is the sweetest person you will ever meet. If you want to be impressed she is the girl for the job. Thank you Brooke!! read more

Horrible service! We waited 30 mins to order our appetizer and drinks. Took forever for our food to come with barely anyone in the restaurant. Plus my noodles weren't cooked fully it tasted like. Also the entire time we did not receive refills. I was very disappointed will never go back. Our waiter and the hostess were at the front chatting and had people come up to ask for things. Just do your job and watch your tables. read more

TEENA IS THE BEST SERVER EVER!!!! me and my ex came in and the dynamics were immaculate. she was so sweet, made jokes, called me pretty, listened and gave her input on our stupid stories, she managed to make applebee's my best dining experience ever, the food was really good too! we got 3 appetizers, we got the classic appetizer combo, white queso and chips and the pretzels, everything was soo good, but that wasn't what made this 5 stars; it was teena, i will come here all the time now just to say hi to my new favorite server! read more

Went today for an early supper to use a gift card. We were so blown away with the service and food. Menu has much more to choose from. Steak & shrimp Parmesan and Loaded Shrimp fajitas were both excellent. It was only about 4 PM so they weren't real busy. Our waitress was so accommodating and vigilant. We may be going back soon! read more

The food here is terrible. The only good thing about this visit was the alcoholic beverages and the lemonade I had. The sides were okay. The main entree, which consisted of an 6oz steak on one plate, was charred. I asked for well done not a burnt piece of steak! The chicken breast on the other entree that was brought to us, was flavorless. The chicken breast literally tasted like it had not been marinated nor seasoned. The waitress was polite soo the customer service was good. I didn't complain to them about it. I just knew immediately that I would Yelp about this place. I would like to think that if I'm going to a good part of the city that your restaurant would be held and maintained at a higher standard. Yesterday's meal was a joke. The waitress said "hope to see y'all again on y'alls next visit." And I was thinking in my head. Never again! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - #Charred - Sports Bars Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Disappointed...the food was ok...the service was pretty good. It looks SO much better on TV. Not appealing at all. My shrimp were tiny like blackened salad shrimp...The hot wings just taste like hot sauce, and they make sure they give you the boneless wings. I wanted Bone-in and was willing to pay little extra. WOW!!! Tortilla chips were stale to go with a watered down spinach dip. I am just so hurt because I passed up another place to come here. Price was good, but ...I say...Follow your first mind and go somewhere else...even if the food looks great on tv. read more

Stopped in the Conroe Appleby's for Sunday lunch and was disappointed. First, I ordered a lemonade and it didn't arrive until our food arrived. About the food, after everyone who came in before us was finished we finally got our order. My wife was given the wrong dish, not what she ordered and when we sent it back we were told it would be another 15 minutes. Don't waste your time in this place. Many other options in Conroe. read more

Went there around 4:00 today and ordered off the 2 for $25 menu. We both got salads which never came out. Noticed bartender had our entrees in hand and then turned around back to the kitchen as she finally noticed the salads had not come out. Received our salads which consisted of wilted lettuce and stale croutons. We let her know that we saw the entrees were ready and to just bring them out. Normally I would say something and just ask for the bill for the one beer we had, however decided to suck it up. I ate about four bites and did not feel well. I took it to go and threw it away when I got home. Dirty bar and table all around. Went to the ladies room and almost slipped several times due to the greasy floor. We will never come to this establishment again. read more

We went for a late lunch and decided upon Applebees since neither of us have been to one in years. The restaurant was slow with only a handful of customers present. We where immediately greeted and seated and met by our waitress who, though shy, was polite and fast. While waiting for our waitress I visited the women's facilities and was instantly questioning the management's follow up on ensuring that the restrooms were receiving adequate care. All 3 stalls were unusuable. Like I said earlier they were slow and this to me was unacceptable. We started our meal with the choose 3 appetizer and selected the pub brew pretzels, cheese sticks, and crispy wonton tacos. The pretzels, well it's hard to mess them up, served with a white queso. Same goes for the cheese sticks. The surprise here though was the Crispy Wonton Tacos. These were stuffed with spicy pieces of grilled chicken topped with a nice slaw and served in a soy sauce. Definitely the highlight dish. I ordered the double whiskey barrel sirloins. They where overcooked and the toppings had little to no flavor. My partner ordered the three cheese basil penne pasta and was also disappointed in this dish. Two stars because of the surprising success of the wonton tacos and the server was at least attentive though at times forgetful. I don't think we will ever visit here again though. read more

The workers forget they exist. Walked in and waited for a while before being seated. Waiters too slow.

I chose to take my girlfriend out on a dinner date last night and we chose this Applebee's. We got water with lemon and the water was just tap water and the lemons tasted old. We chose to get the White Queso Dip & Chips for an appetizer and the queso was luke warm and clumpy to the temperature. For entrees I ordered the The Prime Rib Dipper (it's almost like a Philly cheesesteak) and the entire dish was also luke warm and the fries were cold. The only thing that was hot on my plate was the dipping sauce that was probably microwaved. My girlfriend got the DOUBLE CRUNCH SHRIMP. THE SHRIMP WERENT EVEN A SINGLE CRUNCH. Which was $15 for crappy shrimp. They were not crunchy whatsoever, the crust fell off extremely easily, and was soggy. The shrimp tasted frozen and were mushy all while still being cold. One of them wasn't even fully cooked. Needless to say my girlfriend got food poisoning and has been throwing up all night and day. I spent $50 on crappy food and food poisoning. So don't go to this Applebee's, either save your money, or go somewhere better. read more

Bar manager was all over bartender in very sexual manner the entire time we were trying to have dinner. Very inappropriate behavior! it looks as if he feels he is Joe Cool in his 70's leisure suit and 2010 Mohawk. But pretty ridiculous actions from someone in a managers position. Ourselves and two other couples in the dinning room watching all at from different tables thought he was very inappropriate! Have not been there in a while and be a long time before we return. read more

Service was spectacular!!! Our waitress, Faith, was beyond great, friendly and attentive. She checked on us several times and always with a smile. One of the best servers we have had in months!! read more

Horrible service got our entree and nearly finished it while still waiting for drinks we waited like 15 minutes read more

Well came in here. I eat at the one in northshore 3-4 days a week. $1 ziegen bock yes please as always. Took an hour at least to get my steak. It was cooked medium-medium well. I ordered medium rare. I like that streak mooing. Bartender is nice as can be. Cooks need to be trained better or replaced. With 2 stars on yelp it's probably a management problem. read more

The worst customer service I have ever experienced!!! The place is run by a bunch of 20 year olds that don't give a crap. After 40 minutes of sitting we were given one glass of water and no food so we left! I will never go back and never visit an Applebee's again. This is the restaurants MO there is no responsible adult who cares! read more

Took my kids to go eat there on 12/13 and we were seated quickly. Took a bit to take our order. To start they were out of the appetizer we asked for and which they have all these billboards and special menus, we went for the second choice. After about 30 min later what looked like the manager came out with our appetizer which was cold and looked like it was sitting there for a while . I informed him that it was taking way to long for our order and he said he would look into it. Never returned. After about 10 min more I flagged our waiter down and inquired about our order. So over an hour now with 2 hungry kids getting wrestles and no food. Finally they showed up with below par food and apologized for wait but they wanted to make it better with a free desert. The steak was cold, tough, and dry, the rest of the food looked microwaved. We just wanted to eat and get out of there. We asked for the "free desert" to go and low and behold they were out of it. At that point in time we paid the bill and left. That was the most horrible experience at a restaurant We have ever had. Never again will we return. Now I know why so many shut down. Poor customer service, poor food selection, and beyond poor food quality. read more

I only go to Applebee's for appetizers which is the only decent thing there. Tiffany is the only server who I enjoy serving us when we go. To say that service there from the other servers and management is horrible, is an understatement. The female server, Marchelle, might be the worse server I've ever seen. Today we went to Applebee's and Marchelle asked the bartender to take our order because she severed us before and didn't like us or doesn't think we like her. All times she served us has been trash, however, we still left her a tip, so I don't know what she's complaining about. I definitely don't recommend anyone go there. You will wait 20 minutes or more for a drink or for someone to take the order. It's a waste of time and money. The only thing you will get at Applebee's is a headache! The only reason why I'm giving a 1 star is because I'm forced to rate the restaurant other wise it would be negative stars! read more

Went here today for lunch and we were both impressed. Our food was served quicker than expected for a lunch hour and they were busy. The food was served piping hot and very flavorful. Our waitress could not have been any better. Based on our experience today, we will surely go back and try something else next time. read more

Meh, we generally meet here for drinks and go somewhere else to eat. I've eaten here twice before tonight, both times, McDonald's would have been a better choice. However, tonight we again, decided to risk it all and order dinner here. I ordered a hamburger, not bad, pretty good actually, comparable to Chili's, tbe onion rings were really great. The croutons on my wife's salad were great. So, I've come to the conclusion that their fancy topped steaks are crap, they don't even have a ribeye on the menu. The appetizers are really good, those who've tried, the siracha shrimp was good, the won ton tacos are really good and the artichoke dip is good also. The wait staff are really great great, poor guys, they have to suffer with all that crap food. And the biggest problem of all,...no Coke, Pepsi. WTF?!? I've had to change all of me favorite bar drinks just because they don't have Coke. We're actually looking at different venues to have our get togethers at because of all the changes we have to make too drink cheaply after work. read more

I only give a one star because of the hours opened. It was completely terrible. After a concert in the Woodlands we decided to head home and hit up Applebee's with our friends. it was roughly 1130, the place was relatively scarce for a Saturday night. But the wait staff was pathetic, and the place was not clean nor did anyone pay attention to detail. They really need to get it together read more

very horrible service first of all waited ten mins at door before I was even acknowledged. then when sat down waited 15-20 mins no waitress still, we finally flagged down someone and she wasn't our waitress but helped us order drinks and appetizers! then we kept trying to place our food order and no one would put the order in this is ridiculous this store needs serious training and better management! I even talked to Courtney the night manager all she did was apologize! very unprofessional that's when we decided to. finally say forget it we are leaving I will never return read more

I've been waiting for 45 minutes and the food is still not here yet. Ordered two draft beers and both of them taste like detergent was in them. Been here an hour. Service sucks very understaffed. Still no food. read more

I've been in the restaurant business for 12 years. I'm a manager at a place I worked for years. I'm one to never complain, but so disappointed. Never been to this place, my daughter and I stopped by there the day before thanksgiving while shopping in the area. I walked in and stood in the front literally 10 min or more, had 2 servers look at me and never said anything to me or acknowledge me. The bartender that was in full view had one customer and saw me too said nothing. I never felt so awkward. While still waiting a older gentlemen on a cane comes walking toward the door I opened the door for him to help him in. He told me thank you and went and took a seat. Well never being here I was like I guess your spose to seat yourself. I followed right behind him and me and my child sat at the next booth. The waiter that saw me earlier and never tried to acknowledge me went straight to the older man got his drink order walked past me and met with a younger women and said those two ( talking about my daughter and I) they just sat themselves. She was very rude about it. We ended up walking out. Never again!!! read more
