0/10 Took my girl out on a Friday night for dinner, ordered an appetizer and a meal, appetizer didn't approve until 1 hr later, was very frustrated with the wait and the food wasn't very good Server was the only good thing at this establishment read more

The food was late coming out. I had to call in after waiting about 15 minutes and then I was told the cameras for curbside was inoperable. I should have checked my order before I left. I ordered an oriental chicken salad with extra chicken. For what I paid that order was awful. I was told the chicken tenders were small. I will not be ordering it again. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Covington, Georgia

I been here 27 minutes and have not been greeted and when I tried to flag a waitress down she told me sorry im in a rush without stopping to even say it... I can't tell you how the food is because I never received any... The bartender with the Afro puff is rude as hell and acted as if she hates her job.. but what can you expect from Apple bees... rated a F ... yall failed read more

If I could give a zero star, it would be appropriate. For starters, my wife and I waited quite a while for a hostess to seat us, although the reastaurant was 1/4 full. This alone should have been a clue. Finally the host/barman/waiter seated us. We ordered and then waited, and waited, and waited for our dinner. The fish and chips were really awful and the French dip would have been passable if it had arrived with the requisite dip. It took 15 minutes and multiple inquiries to get the dip. By then, the sandwich was cold. An experience not to be repeated any time soon. read more

Arrived Friday Dec 12th after driving all day at 6:30 pm. This restaurant is usually less crowded than the other popular places. Thought we could get in eat and go home. The place was half full or half empty. We were told there was a 20 minute wait due to the kitchen being backed up. WTF? We asked to be seated and have a beverage while we waited. Got told there would be a 15 minute wait to be seated. Again, WTF?! So we left, went to Jimmy John's, got a sub and went home. read more

The food was good slow to come out and service was great. I got the multiple appetizer.

One of the ABSOLUTE WORST experiences I have EVER had! Top 3 worst! We walk in and are immediately seated. The restaurant is only about 1/4 of the way full. Hardly anyone there ... which probably should have been our first clue as to how things would go. After about 5 minutes our waitress walks over and takes our drink and food order. A couple minutes pass and the drinks get to the table. Great! That's as far as we got! Drinks! Our waitress stopped by after 15 minutes of our order being in and said it would be out shortly. Another 15 minutes pass ... 30 minutes after our order was in ... and our waitress tells us once more that our order would be out shortly. 40 minutes in after placing our order and now 50 total minutes of being in the restaurant, out waitress approaches us and says that they are backed up and she's not sure how long it's going to be. At that point was asked for our ticket for the drinks so that we could find a restaurant that actually seemed to care about their customers. We ended up not having to pay for the two drinks, though I did find it a bit offensive that they're were actually about to charge us after having to deal with such horrific service. If you're that backed up, you should have let customers know as they were being seated. Not after being there for nearly an hour. At that point you're basically lying to your customers by withholding that information. On top of that, we sat for 30 minutes without having our drinks refilled, even though the waitress approached us twice letting us know our food would " be out shortly". And there was no asking for refills as her comments were in passing, not even fully stopping at our table. We also witnessed 2 other table complaining about their food. One table complaining that all their food was cold. The waitress took it back and brought out new food about 10 minutes later ... the food was still cold! The second table complained about cold food and some of their food was so hard that it was completely uneatable. They ended up asking for boxes and leaving. There is absolutely no way that I will ever step one foot in this Applebee's location! Honestly, the best thing for this entire community is for them to close their doors forever. read more

If I could put a zero I would we were seated after waiting for 20 mins and when we were sat we never had a server even come ask for our drinks after 40 minutes we finally decided to ask for a server and we still had no one come even greet us so we got up and left definitely one of the worst places I've ever been read more

Went to Applebee's in Covington Georgia service was awful what's the second person to order it in the group of six people everyone had gotten the food and I was still waiting most people at the step food and I still have not gotten mine I set my tea glass out to the edge of the table so that the server could see it after about 20 minutes or so she finally came and said that she would bring me a new glass of tea another 10 minutes past she finally brought the glass of tea I still did not have my food at this point I asked for the manager the manager finally showed up the manager finally showed up and I told her what the problem was she said that she would correct it right at this time and when it makes me finish up food I just described and told her not to worry about it that we would just leave and would not be coming back I do not To go into Applebee's service was awful read more

My husband went there tonight for dinner with a friend for his birthday...thinking you know maybe since the remodel the food and service would have improved as well..however he was terribly mistaken. He said when they arrived they waited 20 minutes to be acknowledged let alone get a drink, and the service declined from there ..moving on from that I had him order me a to go Quesadilla Chicken Salad and as you can see in the pictures it was absolute garbage...it was missing the corn salsa,the pico, the tortilla strips ..and they couldnt even put enough lettuce in then drenched it in a dressing that was not asked for as I got ranch on the side...this is an absolute disgrace that that food was even allowed to leave the kitchen ..besides the sorry ass cook why didn't the expo, the bartender the to go notice that this was incorrect...this is why this place will continue to be trash because you clearly don't train your staff or have any sort of dignity in your work. If this establishment was to have any chance of not completely going under they would to clean house from the gm down because clearly no one knows what their doing !!!! read more

I haven't been inside an Applebee's in years! Just like in "Who Cloned Tyrone," stepping into Applebee's feels oddly familiar, but is it really the same old AB we know and love? I always wonder who is still keeping them alive, much like the funny quote, "Who's keeping Arby's alive?" While many chain restaurants are struggling, it's interesting to see the buzz around Applebee's $1 margaritas in all those funny viral videos. Although I didn't order a margarita so I could pretend I was pinky-toe deep in a bowl of chips and guac in Mexico, I did buy a strawberry and mango daiquiri and was channeling my inner Puerto Rican princess! I couldn't taste any of the Barcard but the drink was superb! Hiding alcohol well in a frozen drink is a hidden talent. When there's too much alcohol, people tend to nurse their drinks, but if it's well-hidden, you'll hear, "I need another round, bartender!" While I nursed my drink, families were coming in by the carload. Besides the margaritas, there has to be something else drawing people in, right? I'll have to report back after investigative food samplings! Stay tuned! read more

Service was good this time. However, I ordered extra mushrooms for the Bourbon Street grilled chicken and the kitchen gave less than the normal order of mushrooms (4 slices). read more

This place is known as to having bad customer care, waitresses there are rude and dont seem to want to attend us. They sat us down & we had a normal wait atleast but as soon as i barely ordered 2 kids drinks my waitress walked away & didnt seem to want to wait for my other drink orders. Apperantly they seemed to change their own rule or law" that my iD had to be horizontal in order to recieve a margarita. As soon as we ordered appetizers she soon walked away (my waitress). Didnt come check on us for anything till we were half way done wit our meals. Never going there again. The waitresses there are louzy. read more

Had a so-so experience here. The supposed to be alcoholic beverage was completely watered down, and my date's meal was obscenely undercooked. The only things on par was my quesadilla burger, which was admittedly delicious, and the wings were decent. I doubt I'll return, though, unless I'm alone to get the burger. read more

Visited Wednesday afternoon almost 5pm. Sat at the bar.service was very good and food was great, their big chicken sandwich!!

Food was overcooked, server was extremely rude, long wait time. I will never come back I have the same terrible experience Everytime I come here. read more

Disappointing - the food was ok, but the service was terrible. Once seated, we didn't see a server for at least 10 minutes. It wasn't busy at all. We ordered and it took almost 20 minutes to get our food, which I thought was tasty. The overall experience was lousy. read more

I don't care for the food but the henny Rita is good and most other drinks from apple bees

Terrible experience, no refills offered They brang out half our food and then we waited an additional 10-15 minutes for the rest. One plate was wrong took them 10 minutes to correct it. Child's food came LAST!!!! The food wasn't good. Overall just bad experience Super upset my son's food came last!! And super upset half of 10 people's food came and half was eating while the other half waited 10+ minutes !!! read more

Should be zero stars. Easily the worst restaurant in town. Tonight we had a no service from the wait staff. Sat for Almost 15 min with no signs of a waitress. Clearly not interested in serving any customers. Don't waste your time. We Went next door to longhorns and had great service and food. read more

I'm not sure what's happening with the Applebees brand but this was the worst Applebees I have ever been to. They had no sweet tea, no boneless wings, the blenders were broken so they can't make frozen drinks, no sugar, no honey barbecue, and no chicken period. it took over 45min for our food to arrive to the table, and our server Tanesha act like she was lost or high or something. We asked questions and it was like each question was stumbling her. Our server dropped ranch dressing down my back and did not even apologize. I don't know who owns this franchise but you really need to get a hold over your establishment. To be this close to the Battery it would seem like service would be better. Worst experience ever and I would not want anyone to come and eat here. read more

A long time ago in an Applebee's far, far away .... I regularly ate their Bone-in Hot Wings specifically ordered extra crisp and extra hot. And they were always perfection. Sadly, I've never found their equal from my local Applebee's. Advertised as double crisp they just aren't and apparently my plea for extra hot also fell upon deaf ears plus they forgot my celery. read more

I made the mistake of not reading Yelp before coming here. I'm in Covington for work and assumed, "Can't go wrong with an Applebees for a quick bite and drink." I was sadly mistaken. Ordered a whiskey neat and a steak and shrimp meal. Easy enough. The whiskey was watered down in the bottle, knew it when the bartender put it in front of me. Took my first sip and noticed a fly in the drink, lovely. You could taste the water in the drink. It was truly the worst attempt to stretch a bottle I've ever seen. Steak was rolled on a grill to look like it was charred and then most likely microwaved, shrimp were mush, potatoes were fine I guess. Broccoli was old and re-steamed. Some of them were rotten. I don't know how Applebees corporate is set up but they need to address this hellhole. You know what to expect going to a chain and it doesn't have to be top tier, but holy sh-, at least try. read more

This is the worst place to ever go to!! When a server who's not attending your table. Decides to step into the conversation and . Over talk the manager. You know there's a problem at the restaurant !! read more

Sat at the restaurant for 5 minutes before a host came up. Once we sat at our table we proceeded to sit for another 15 minutes with no service at all. (Btw there was maybe 5 people in the restaurant) Ended up leaving. read more

DO NOT EAT here!!! If you like friendly fast service and eating good! This is Not the place, just go to McDonalds! Bc after an experience here your going to wish you had. The first thing our waitress tells us is pretty much a list of excuses To cover her .....self, she said they were short staffed BUT only had 1/2 the restaurant open which should have canceled out the "short staff" problem, than decides we need to know how many tables she is serving, made us feel instantly uncomfortable and unwelcomed! Took OVER AN HOUR to get our food all while our server kept acting like we were the biggest burden it was a wast of time and will NEVER BE BACK!!! read more

Food was terrible, we ordered the southwest bowls chicken & shrimp, they put so much rice with a vinegar sauce that made it sour barely any lettuce or other ingredients! We'll never go out here again Service even sucked! read more

Honestly, I can't believe this restaurant is still open. There hasn't been any draft beer for the past 2 or 3 weeks, and it is very clear by the leaning around and lack of energy or concern for the patrons that neither the management nor the staff cares at all about what kind of experience their guests have. The food wasn't terrible, but the experience itself continuously leaves something to be desired. read more

I give up on this restaurant! The last time, about 2 months ago, I ordered to go. I had to wait an additional 40 minutes for it. No real apology, no consideration given. Then tonight I went, alone for dinner. There were only about 10ish people inside eating. I was told my wait would be 40 minutes! I asked why and I was told they didnt have enough staff. I just dont understand. I left and went next door to Longhorns. No wait and plenty of staff. read more

I'm not at all sure why this restaurant is getting all these bad reviews, but they do not reflect my experience at all. The service was five star all the way. We were greeted immediately by our waitress, she was super friendly, our food came out within 15 minutes, the food was great and we were never without a drink. There isn't much more that can be expected from a restaurant, and I would definitely go back to eat at this location. read more

Placed our $64.00 ordered arrived :15 minutes sooner than they said too, after :10 minutes past our time someone came to the car took our name :20 minutes later no one ever came out for us or any other car. Walked inside the place which was not super busy (less than half the tables in use)and 1 person told me they would get someone to bring my order. For the next :10 minutes i stood in the middle of the walk way and not one person came back to me or asked if they could help. Eventually I just left. No need to give business to a place that acts like they could give a dang about serving someone standing in the middle of the isle. Just a shame these people in the service industry dont seem to be interested in actually serving people. Its clear they lack the desire to actually do a good job. This is a perfect example of why half brained lazy ass people should not be paid $15.00 an hour. read more

Bruh this restaurant is the worst! I order my food online at 11 for it to be ready by 11:45 pm. Once I received a notification saying our food was ready I head inside and ask for my food, southwest chicken and chicken Alfredo. Instead of getting the food I ordered the waitress hands me one container talking about "is this it?" Then come to find out that they gave my food away to the person that came in before me. I had my mouth waiting for my food too! Please starting asking for people names when giving out food instead of just passing out free food. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. Do yourself a favor and eat at an Applebees anywhere else in the world, just not here. Theres so much wrong here. I ordered a reindeer punch and my husband a beer. It sat on the bar for 20 minutes. By the time we got it mt husband's beer was warm and my reindeer punch tasted like I poured Cranberry juice in a glass of ice and forgot about it. It tasted like straight water with just a hint of juice. Not to mention when it was brought to me, it was SPILLED ON MY ONE YEAR OLD sitting in a high chair beside me. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 3 kids meals. And we were fully prepared to order 5 dessert plates, had the whole visit not gone so terribly before we got the chance. There was literally like 10 people when we arrive, so it's not like the place was swamped. Every one of our meals came out, with no appetizer ever being brought. I asked about it, the waiter comes back and says oh they're getting them ready now. I politely said just take them off, don't worry about it. No apology, he walks away. The chicken tenders I ordered were so over cooked the roof of my mouth is raw. Like eating a bowl of captain crunch without milk. He comes to check on us, ONE TIME, which was when we asked for the check and a to go box. I'm not a Karen so he still got a hefty 24% tip, but I've never been so appalled by the LACK of customer service. Seriously a massive waste of 50 dollars. I would've rather gone through the McDonald's drive through. We went to Walmart and bought brownies and ice cream instead of ordering brownie bites. read more

Definitely appear to be struggling. Food was poorly prepared. Burger patty was cooked to order perfectly. Bun appeared and tasted to be a few hours old under the heat lamp. Waitress disappeared, had to walk up to the bar for a drink refill. Good luck. read more

Food was not good. I ordered a simple steak and shrimp meal. The medium steak I ordered came out charred, after sending it back, I received another charred steak. The burgers are small and don't taste good. The only saving grace was the alcohol. Service was horrible. Our server disappeared for 20 minutes. We were very close to walking out on a $200 tab. read more

Beware!! Big mistake!! My 9 yo. grand daughter wanted to have her birthday lunch at Applebee's in Covington. We arrived around 11:30 am. I noticed only one server on the floor. It took a while to order our food and my son ordered the SpInach and Artichoke dip t start. It took at least15 minutes to arrive. We ordered our lunch at the same time we order the dip and that took an additional 20-25 minutes. When it finally arrived my grand daughters cheeseburger had burned cheese on it. When we mnntioned it to our server she said she noticed it when she picked up the order. My son pulled the cheese off. The server said it looked gross. HONEST TO GOD!! Who says that? My husband and son both commented on how dry their Salmon was. And to mke matters worse we were told the bar doesn't open on Sunday until 12:30 even though Covington, GA has adopted the brunch bill and serves Beer, Wine and Spirits starting at 11 am. Avoid this restaurant ...PLEASE. read more
