Don't usually eat at any Applebee's... So this was first time in a long time to walk into this resturant. The new system is on the table and saw the adds for them but have to say was a little confusing. Not really good instructions posted.. Just asking to play games. Thank got there are still waiters and waitresses.. And it cost .99 to play.. Not each time you play a game..lol. And you can pay there too.. But still easier to pay the staff.. Food was ok new menus was interesting.. Lots of chicken dishes. Food was good and staff friendly. read more

Experience was so terrible that we left without even finishing our food. My husband and I ordered the endless ribs, shrimp and chicken tenders. We both ordered the shrimp and the plates they brought us seemed like they were meant for children. We literally received 6 pcs of shrimp each and a small portion of fries. The 2 next times we ordered a refill, the brought out JUST 6 more shrimp each and a small saucer plate. We couldn't order more than six pcs at a time and each time in between it took literally 15 minutes in between. We would sit there with no food for 15 mins each. Not only that, we had to ask for fries. They didn't automatically come with them. Mind you, the Killeen location gave us a full plate of fries, Cole slaw, and almost 10+ pcs of shrimp, no matter how many refills we asked for. We live in Cove so it's convenient for us to go to this location, but after this experience we'll be making that commute to Killeen. read more

They were out of onion rings. no marinara sauce. Drinks took 20 minutes which were literally 2 sodas. No silverware until after we got our food. Felt like they were hovering over little to see what the tip would be on slip. Sorry but not impressed and not big on tipping if overall experience was not great. read more

Service was horrible did not have a certain waitress one person ask you what you want to.drink next take your order next one would bring you your food. It be a little bit before one cone around ask you if need a refill on your drinks .Pepsi was flat tea was not sweet my French fries were not all way done by time they brought you your food it wasn't hot I not going back there for awhile I give this place a 1 star .waitress not too friendly. Service horrible food not good read more

My husband and I just had the chicken oriental salad and the chicken quesadilla and OMG both were delicious. !!! The salad lettuce was green and fresh way better than the Applebee's where we live in California and the quesadilla was tasty. The restaurant is super clean. The workers were really nice. I was so impressed by this Applebee's I wasn't expecting much but seriously it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. It should have way more than three stars or whatever it's rated because it's a really good restaurant. I plan to go back a few times before I have to go back to California read more

Service was pretty good, the waitress was as attentive as could be with a large group. The food for me was ok, the chicken was pretty tasty but the mashed potato's were cold and the shrimp just ok. The appetizer pretzel rolls and cheese were really good but the chips and spinach dip not great (cheese tasted watery). My husbands ribs were tasty. The restaurant was very crowded but Applebees was kind enough to let my party reserve a large area. read more

This was totally inexcusable. They removed this from the bill, but why was this even served in the first place? The extreme overlooking is why it took 30 minutes. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - This is supposed to be chicken and shrimp. - Sports Bars Near Me - Copperas Cove, Texas

Bartender cared more about her friends at the bar, then the customers. I THOUGHT Apple Bee's was a restaurant not a club scene.

DIRTY! Serve coffee with no spoon. Didn't check back on meal or refill drinks. Flies kept attacking our food. read more

It's your typical Applebees. Cool environment. The service is ok. This place could use an update but over all not bad

Sulley has to be the worst bartender I ever had. She has an attitude. Half the drinks I ask for she bitches about. Like sorry I'm making you do your job as a bartender. Ordered food with drink. She never put it in. Asked for another Jack and Coke and she totally ignored. Idk how this place so busy when she works when she is terrible. read more

Kay is the laziest bartender I ever seen. She has tables in bar and instead of going around she yells for them to tell her their order. And says I won't go around. She is rude and looks down on everyone and needs to be FIRED read more

My friend and I have been having your lunch specials for the last three months and we absolutely love the combo of the French onion soup and half a sandwich. The sandwich is amazing and so is the soup. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly and is very clean. Today we decided to do something different and we both got the cheeseburger and onion rings. Best burger I've had in a while I was shocked I had no idea Applebee's had such good burgers. I will stick with the French fries next time though! I will be back again and again and again read more

Service was great - but that's where it ends. Food was awful and thats giving it some benefit. Honestly I LOVE going to Applebee's, my favorite meal is the 4 cheese Mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken. I was severely disappointed when I was given not only the wrong noodles, but soggy, flavorless noodles, with dry chicken and an overdone breadstick. I have attached pictures for reference. There's a reason this place is a two star. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Fun time! - Sports Bars Near Me - Copperas Cove, Texas

They are under covid rules so you can not sit there and wait. You place your name on the list and they call you when they have a table ready. The waiter we had was attentive as she could be but i think she had too many tables to wait. The appetizer were the best thing we had out of all of the things we had. The main dishes were trash. Dont go there and get the shrimp bowl or chicken Alfredo. If you follow my reviews you will just not go to applebee's at all unless its a family get together and you dont want to look like a picky ass. But yeah only go if you have to. Cook at home before you come here. Your stomach will thank you. read more

the winter storm is approaching. i was waiting across the street for my tires to be fixed so i walked this way. due to the storm, service is not able to be completed. i told them how i am waiting for my car to be done. they allowed me to continue to sit in here and the owner even offered me coffee. (i left cash at the table). it's just the small gestures. they could have shoed me out and told me i can't wait in here. wonderful people. so kind. everyone stay safe during the storm! everyone is trying there best! read more

Showed up at 5:50pm. Had about 12 tables empty and told us the kitchen was backed up. Wait 25 minutes. Got our table about 630pm. Ordered drinks sweet tea for me and a mixed drink for the lady. Ordered queso and chips and they showed up before our drinks even did. My lady ordered boneless wings and I had a 12oz. Ribeye med. rare . Her wings came out cold and my steak came out well done. Ran out of tea and the waitress said twice she would bring me more and never showed up. Haven't been to Applebees in over 4 years and now I know why!! It was a horrible service experience but me made the best of it with the trivia games. read more

No effective manager walking through the crowd and it shows! The working staff seem miserable and are unfriendly. This Applebee's is getting less pleasant to visit. First, we walked in to two high school girls as hostess who both had a snarling look and you could hear the sigh of discontent that more customers just walked in and was disturbing them. Next we got seated near the bar where the bar tender was pulling double duties on the floor and the bar. We could tell she enjoyed the bar more than the floor because she was more attentive to the several people sitting at the bar than her tables. The one time she came by to change our drinks she was rushed. They should not have the bar tender pulling double duties like this when she is busy at the bar with customers. This is where a good manager would step in to help out by either moving staff around or working the crowd as a team player. When the food came out it was delivered by a woman who did not speak to us. She did not offer a good afternoon or hello or even an exchange of words to make sure the two plates went to the correct people. She dropped the plates on the table and walked away. This rude encounter would have had me say something to a manager if one was around, but no one came by or was visibly walking the floor at any time during our visit. We did finally get a chance to ask the same lady who dropped our plates off to bring condiments. We will probable eat here a lot less in the future because this Applebee's is more stressful to experience than I care for. I go out and spend money to relax and be happy. This was not a happy visit and previous recent visits here have not been in the past. When we visit locations that are friendly and the staff make us feel welcoming we generally tip 50-70% (even occasionally up to 100%) of our overall bill, but not on this trip! read more

The absolute worst Applebee's I have ever been to. The service at the bar is horrible. Place was empty and the bartender kept going to the back for 15 minutes at a time to BS. Will never return here. Dirty dishes piled up on the bar. read more

The service was great and that's all. I wanted something different and it was not at all what I expected. I look in the window and I see lots of people in the restaurant although corona is still going around and figured it must me good considering people are this desperate. I was completely wrong. Mine( on the right) flavorless and I just couldn't finish it my husband's was just soggy noodles and the combination was so odd and weird that when the Alfredo sauce combined with the sauce othe tenders it made his whole meal taste like pancake syrup it was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

if I could leave a 0 star I would after this experience. Jay(jeremiah) the waiter forgot to put our order for our main course and when I asked him about why it's been 40 mins he acted surprised and went to the kitchen. he came back to inform me that he forgot to put the order in and he was sorry. and i also noticed he did the same to another table earlier so that proves he incompetent to do his job. my husband and I had to find a sitter after working long days and we had the worst experience. we won't be going back. no wonder they have 2.5 star review. food and drinks was good but service was the worst I've seen in years. read more

For Applebee's this rating is an improvement. Artichoke dip and chips appetizer wasn't bad. They were consistent in doing the ok job. Good food with depressing atmosphere. They very slow on getting orders out. Poor service. read more

Our server, Randy, was seriously awesome. The food was decent.   When another server leaned over me to help deliver my plate, I was suddenly whisked away into what I can only describe as what I imagine is the same whimsical pungency of the inside of a 1967 Volvo on the eighth day of a week-long Cold War surveillance posting, parked near East Berlin with nothing to pass the time but chain smoke and pray the KGB hasn't noticed the car. As I write this review, this particular Applebee's is sporting a solid 2.5 stars on Yelp, and I wholeheartedly concur with this evaluation.   If nothing else, we can sleep soundly knowing that we are able to eat fries fresh from under the warming lamp and cheer this establishment's dedication to carry forth the torch lit by those very same 2.5 stars. read more

Me and my family came inside after going to Discount Tire to wait for our car. We had half full Starbucks drinks that we were almost done with. All the workers started talking about us in clear view. Very unprofessional! Do not come here. read more

Haven't been to an Applebee's in 6+ years for many reasons. Came here late the other night-service was wonderful and happy hour was great! They sanitize before you sit down and the whole place was clean. read more

First of all the workers are ridiculous, they whisper and stare the whole time. The only good thing that's actually a little bit appetizing is the wings and the rest of the food came out cold. My mother and brother were sharing an alcoholic drink and he is older than 23 and she still asked for an ID to a man with a full on beard. My mom ordered a margarita and while she was waiting on it for 20 minutes and it was sitting there unmade and my mom went up to the bar and made it herself. Once the worker came she looked at my mom and gave the most disrespectful look towards her with attitude whispering "oh my g*d" under her breath with an eye roll. Horrible service. Definitely do not recommend. read more

Worst Applebee's I've EVER been to. We visit Applebee's almost everywhere we go when we travel. And we travel a LOT. This local bar ( & bar is what this one does, NOT food), has a pretty good turnover of waiter/waitress staff. But their abysmal service is just part of the problem. NEVER have we EVER received the items we almost always order, the same way. Case-in-point. The 4 cheese mac-n-cheese with honey chicken. This last order was VOID of ANY cheese. Brought it to the attention of the waitress (her FIRST DAY she tells us), and nothing was done!! They tried to sell us an appetizer that had been sitting in some sort of micro-burn warmer for God only knows how long, AND DIDN'T try to fix or amend it. SAVE YOURSELF THE AGONY of piss-poor service and piss-poor food and go elsewhere. read more

I ordered a rack of ribs with fries through DoorDash . When we got the food we realized they were not even cooked fully through. They had burn marks on the surface as if someone through it on the grill to get grill limes for like 5 min an then threw it in a box with some sauce. I will never ever eat at this place again! I hadn't eaten here but once in the last ten years but decided to give it a try again. Still a disappointment but even more importantly they could have killed me with they under cooked pork. read more

To start we went and were told a 20 minute wait and it wasn't busy, empty tables throughout the whole restaurant. Our wait ended up being closer to 35 minutes and as someone who has worked in the food industry before there was no reason we shouldn't have been seated prior. Food: we ordered 1 adult quesadilla, 1 kids quesadilla, and one combo appetizer. Both quesadillas felt like they'd been sitting awhile and the cheese had basically rehardened. The kids quesadilla came with the yogurt and strawberries which looks very different from the pictures, there's only like 2-3 slices of strawberry. It was also supposed to come with tomatoes and lettuce on the side and didn't, when we mentioned it to the waitress she acted like she was doing us some favor by grabbing them even though it should have come out with the quesadilla. The combo app was DROWNED in sauce, and I mean everything. The quesadillas, mozzarella sticks, the whole plate was a puddle of sauce and everything was soggy. They did offer to remake the combo but I chose not to have it remade as our food had already taken awhile and everyone else had finished eating. read more

The food here is decent. Nothing to write home about. It's hard for me to judge though, I have since moved away to San Francisco, "Land of the foodies" there is so much diverse and excellent food here that going anywhere else is hard to rate. Considering other places in Copperas Cove itself, this isn't a bad option, considering it's a chain. read more

Wear my is less of a challenge hear than some other places around Killeen. Nice friendly staff working around the restrictions placed up them due to a virus with a 99% chance of recovery if you catch it. The boneless wings were nice and warm and crunchy. Had the Honey BBQ & Sweet Chili once the wings. The Garlicky mashed potatoes can use some more garlic to be able to taste the garlic. Beer on top was nice and cold. Plus this is the only place open later than Midnight. Will continue to be a patron for some time to come. read more

If I could give zero star that would definitely be my rating. The waitress (sky) service was horrible. The lemonade was like water, the drinks were changed and she never remove the unused glasses from the table. The artichoke dip tasted sour. The steak wasn't cooked as requested and the waitress body language showed she didn't want to be brother. I've visiting this location several times and this is the worst service ever. She never come back B to ask to refill out drinks or remove the empty plates. Now the check still had item which should have been removed. Now it time to ask to speak with the manager. read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat after going to the movies. Ordered a medium steak and the damn thing came out bleeding all over my baked potato. I send it back and the raggedy ass cook, cooks my steak well done. I mean damn I can't win. All I wanted was a perfect steak. At least my server was nice. read more

Horrible! Service and food was awful. (I made this account to give it the sucky review it deserves!) My husband's friend ordered the steak medium rare, and let me tell you, that steak was MOOING! Our waitress was impatient and rude. After all four of us ordered she continued standing there.? Not normal writing it down or talking to us, no. She legit just stared me and my husband down after I said something to him that was obviously unrelated to the food. We said we were fine and didn't need anything so she just walked off all huffy. Whatever, bad day- I can get over that. But from then on she stayed in the bar area and repeatedly was looking/staring at us making us feel like we couldn't talk about anything too loud. Not only that, the food was nasty. She did NOT tell us that they didn't have the type of rice that went with our meals. No warning, she hands it to us and said "It's good, you'll like it." After telling us they were out of the good rice(while handing us the plate). The rice she gave us was horrible and it tasted like grass! We asked for other options and were not offered a replacement. ??? Left the restaurant not full and very dissatisfied. read more

This is, by far, one of the worst food places in Copperas Cove. I ordered the "Four Cheese Macaroni" with honey tenders. The tenders were basically plain tenders with barely any sauce. The macaroni was somehow cold when it arrived, despite a warm plate. There was approximately 1T of sauce in the middle, also cold, and the rest was obviously dry pasta that had been sitting for a long time. While I would love to give benefit of the doubt since it's a Friday night, it wasn't even busy. There were multiple waitresses and not that many full tables. Maybe 3 tables to a waitress? I typically go once a month to Applebees, spending $50-ish dollars with my man. His meal was just ok with gristle on the burger. He asked for Mayo 3 times before the waitress decided to get it. Mind you, she had only two tables as far as I could tell. The appetizer was greasy and not remotely coated in the Cheeto seasoning advertised. In addition, she did not collect a single dirty dish. We had our appetizer dish still crowding the small booth when our entree came out and she still didn't take it. She would get refills and yet, leave all the cups. When asked for a side of sauce for the pasta, we waited 10+ minutes to receive a side of cold sauce. It doesn't make any sense. Every ounce of this meal was subpar. Service was nonexistent and the waitress hid in the kitchen, not serving any of her tables more than half of our time there. I say hid because she would walk out with nothing in her hands, 9 times out of 10. The food was cold and practically flavorless since I guess the price wasn't enough to put sauce? The ambiance was typical Applebees, so no complaints. 10/10 avoid this place, don't spend your money and time. Will not be coming back. read more
