Food is not too bad but it's Applebee's so it's a hit or miss. The wait staff is attentive depending who is your waitress. The only down fall for this Applebee's is the cleanness of the tables. read more

Took food 30 minutes to get to the table. There was 5 tables occupied in the restaurant. Out of beer. Very rude staff

The ceiling is filthy and falling apart. The vents are covered in grime. You can tell it hasn't been cleaned in years. No excuse for this level of grime unless there was a fire. They should replace the entire thing. Food was okay. Beer was cold. The people are nice, but they need to look up. read more

After some drinks and ordering some food to go already paid I asked for a side of A1 sauce just in case the steak sucked I was able to get through it. She said that's 55 cents for the side of A1. Are you actually kidding me!! She stated it's management. I tossed her a $5 said merry Xmas!! This is ridiculous read more

What more is there to say. It is Applebee's. The service is terrible and the food is terrible. Stay away.

Steaks was good everything was very fresh shrimp wasn't bad drinks weren't very strong great price

So, my husband and i ate lunch here today and let me just say we had the best service we have had in a very long time. I believe our waiters name was Ethan, That was the name on my ticket, but he was awesome. He did an absolute excellent job of taking care of us and I hope we get him every time we go!!! Also, they have new menu items and they were also delicious and very fresh! read more

The best thing about my experience at this place was the front door greeter. The food and service were total FBS! Never again! Glad I'm on my way back home. Fkn disgusting! PISS POOR! read more

3 stars for the inferior sirloin used in my 6oz dinner, which was way stringy and tough. No matter how long i chewed, it would not break down- my Dad said it was an old cow lol. The mashed potatoes were yummy. 5 stars for great customer service and tasty drinks. Tried the March drink special, the pot o' gold colada which was great. read more

EVERY SINGLE TIME I order food they mess it up! how hard is it give me a side salad that I had to pay $6 for!! or what about the Blondie when I ordered extra of everything only to get JUST the Blondie! The level of apathy at this place is higher than anything I've ever witnessed. They couldn't care less about customer satisfaction or service. They don't care enough to pay attention to anything! JUST GET IT TOGETHER! read more

The service from our waiter Ethan was amazing. We were checked on frequently. He made sure we had what we needed to enjoy our meal. The steak could've been a tad bit better was a bit chewy in a couple spots but that's steak. It was quiet and a great place to dine at. read more

I never got any other than where to sit. never asked what wanted to drink or anything sit there 10 minutes an finially got up walked out. not like they busy. 4 other customers besides me. I walked out after 2 people came in 10 minutes after I did an were seated a waitress walked straight to them ask what they wanted to drink. read more

We decided to stop at our local Applebee's after my grandmother's funeral to have a chance to catch up and get a bite to eat. There were 8 adults and2 children ages 6 and 2. The restaurant was not busy, we asked to be seated at tables instead of booths so it would be easier for us to move around. They made the yound man that greeted us go and sit the room up, well he did but it was 100° outside and about 90° in that room. He asked the manager to turn the air on and she said couldn't, so the young man, my son in law and nephew went and helped him fix a new set of tables. We grab our menus and heading to the new area (much cooler). So we sat there about 20 minutes waiting on our waitress to come get our drink and appetizer order. Finally she took the drink order for my end of the table, but she took the drink and appetizer order for the other end. So, half of us got drinks and the other half got drinks and appetizers. When I asked why our appetizer order wasn't taken she responded "you could have order with your drinks". I WASN'T ASKED IF WE WANTED APPETIZERS!! But I kept my cool. After about another 20 minutes we got out dip and chips had to ask for plates and silverware. We ordered our food which for 8 people was not a difficult order. We sat there talking, a few got up and went outside to smoke, my sister drove to Wal Greens and picked up some medicine and a few things. STILL NO FOOD!! So finally After we told them if we didn't have out food out in five minutes we were going to leave. Well our food came out. Boneless chicken wings were raw, to ppl in our group noticed after eating a couple. Green beans taste like rubber with sugar on it. 3 of the adult plates were ok but by the time we got them we were aggravated and wanted to leave. The kids food was good, but you really can't mess up microwave pizza and French fries. Drinks were good. Shout out to the bartender (he brought us our drinks to the table because they sat on the bar ready for so long and he apologized to us). Oh and we asked for steak sauce 5 times and never got any. Now finally our waitress was alright she did a good job trying to help us, but I will say 5 different tables came in was served and gone before we got our food. Two 4 top tables 3 ladies at the bar drank and ate before us, 2 gentlemen that sat by us and another 4 top with a child, ordered ate and left. In conclusion there was a waitress named Destiny that was extremely rude, rolled her eyes talked under her breath. You could tell she is just naturally rude. When we asked for the stesk sauce the third time she just turned and walked away. I guess she or someone went and got the manager and she came to our table and asked is everything was okay, i told her the issues about our food and we expressed how our waitress and the bartender was good. But then i told her Destiny was rude as hell, she seemed so shocked. Asked if she was rude "here?". I told her yes she is rude and unprofessional. I guess that enough complaining for today. We will not return to that Applebee's again. Thanks Carrie Blackwell read more

Foods and service was good! The pasta wasn't hot but still ok. The only thing made me so curious was they seemed to put every group so close to each other even though there were so many tables available still. read more

Didn't receive the full order and the food I did get was overcooked and cold. I swore I would NEVER get food from an Applebee's and now I remember why! Should of went to McDonalds. read more

Bad experience! No salad that I ordered was never brought. Beverages never refilled and had go find the manager to get a check.

We were willing to give Applebee's another try tonight and they disappointed us again. We went early because we were going shopping afterwards. They seated us and had plenty of menus and specials on the table. We had time to find what we wanted and decided on entrees. But, all the servers were too busy talking at the bar to notice that we were ready to order. Not only did we not get greeted in 20 minutes but the host said "thanks, have a good evening" on the way out the door! I don't know if we will ever go back to Applebee's again with no service! read more

This is your basic chain. It's clean, the service at the bar is the absolute best. My boyfriend & I got the dumplings which were ok. And the cheese sticks which were great. The perfect margarita is a consistent cheap drink that I love. I'm so grateful to have this place in el dorado. I will come back and keep trying different things on the menu read more

I'll first start by saying Justin, our server, was wonderful and accommodating. However, that does not make-up for the poor quality of food we had to endure. A main complaint was our appetizer; we ordered the pretzels and cheese dip. The order came out with nearly no cheese dip in a large bowl. We asked about this and the our server said that it was the correct portion. We asked to return the appetizer as the portion was laughable for the price. That's when he brought out another bowl of cheese dip, effectively solving our problem. Unfortunately, the bowl was plastic and the cheese promptly melted the bowl right in front of us. The service was right on the money, but the presentation of the food and its execution was off (by a large margin). Corporate needs to get this store some help. read more

Poor service, didn't get the beer I wanted because I requested for one on draft and they brought me another in a bottle. very slow when it was busy. Asked for napkins from a waiter and never received them. read more

Why is this place still in existence in El Dorado? Do not order the draft beer-it was disgusting. It tasted spoil. I asked for a different brand and it was still horrible. read more

Most depressing Applebee's I have ever been too! Staff was great but the vibe was way off. I was scared when the I ordered my burger and they asked if I wanted pink or no pink. WTH happened to rare, med rare, med, well done. read more

Worst service EVER. The hostess was unconcerned. We had a good waitress. After an hour wait they brought two of the plates out and said we are sorry we are having to redo the pasta dish. I said never mind just bring me a Salad. I could not wait another hour. It was not busy. Our waitress was the only positive! read more

Had a good lunch today. Everything was clean, the bartender was friendly and happy. Checked us often with a smile. Happy to see the improvement. read more

To start this review, if there was a way to give a place 0 stars then this would be the restaurant to do it. The waiters are terrible and the food is never cooked well. The whole building has a soured odor that is not pleasant. Most people to frequent this establishment more than once are drunks that can't taste the food. read more

We had a wonderful dinner there last week Aaron was our server. He did a great job. Food was excellent. Had a very nice experience. We will go back again. read more

I was so excited when we came here to find something familiar. We eat there often in our home town. The lady behind us was having an issue with something on her cup and drink, they left without eating. We had to wait forever on our food and then when it came out it looked gross. We told her we could not eat this and they should be ashamed letting this out of the kitchen. This restaurant needs to be checked by the City and who ever owns this needs it to be closed. There's no excuse, I've eatin at Applebys all over the US and other than bad service I've never seen food like this. Never offered to fix it and then charged me for the fries which were subpar. I know someone is gonna get sick here. And yes I took pictures The beans are almost clear and are very brown on the ends. The others were not cleaned and the carrots were white, almost dehydrated. So Nasty. My husband works way to hard to pay for this. read more

Service was acceptable, bartender very cool, low prices. No complaints, they do serve Hennessy, however it is $12/shot.

We had lunch there on 7/27/2020,we were seated quickly and received our drinks very fast my wife ordered a steak and I got a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings,it came quickly and the cook came out 2 times and ask us how our meal was and the waitress came by at 4 times while we were there,everything was great,I would go back ,they are trying real hard to get back up there and I think they are on there way read more

Update! Second visit...beyond horrible! Food was mediocre, service just BAD! Won't make this mistake again

Food and service was unbelievably disappointing! Food was served, husbands fries were the bottom of the fryer basket crumbs. They brought his burger to the table and stated they would bring more when they cooked more.. what? Why even bring it to the table like that? While at the table 10mins later bringing the fries, they asked if he would like more Pepsi, he stated yes.. the same server refilled the neighboring tables twice with drinks and never brought my husband another one. As an appetizer he got boneless wings.. he asked for them not to be hot, just wanted plain. Server agreed to this. When brought to the table they were covered in Tabasco hot sauce.. we sent them back, they brought them back and stated that was the only "mild" ones they have. What?? Omg?? Never will I ever go back to this place. Very poorly managed! #JustPassingThrough read more

Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Took 20 minutes just to take our drink orders and after ordering my drink TWICE to two different employees, I still never got my drink. Our waiter was just talking to people the table behind ours and was not doing his job whatsoever. After over 45 minutes of waiting for our food order to be taken & still without a drink, we just left (which I never do). And no, they were not crowded or busy, just terrible service all around. Don't waste your time going here, you'll be disappointed. read more

Started off by getting here at 8:20. Sat down at the bar and the girl walked by us at least 5-7 times and didn't acknowledge us. Finally at 8:44 she takes our drink order. The food was brought out and was cold the serice never got better. Luckily I was hungry and tired or I would have up and left read more

Here on business. Ate there Sunday night. Food was okay. Service borderline. They clearly did not have enough servers . They did not seat us for 15 minutes even though the restaurant was half empty. read more
