We have not gone back to this Applebees I nearly two years b/c of such a horrible experience. We have gone to Applebees in Florida, however and the food, service and cleanliness was great. We were hungry and had heard that this one on Morgan Avenue was under new management, so we stopped in. The manager sat us. The table before ours and the one after it still had the last family's leftover plates still on them. And you could tell it had a while since the customers had left. So we were seated between these two trash tables. Our table was so sticky that the menus actually stuck to the table. Our elbows even glued themselves. IT WAS GROSS! We left. read more

We love their Steak and potatoes. The desserts and drinks are great. They have a kind and friendly wait staff are always professional. It has a light airy feeling. Place to go on a date night get that Oreo shake with whipped cream and two straws. Taking kids and grandkids is no problem read more

3 of us had dinner here when we finally got our appetizer and meal it was the worst meals we have had in a longtime. I have had better school lunches. read more

Horrible service, it takes a lot to get your food, employees don't care about your order. When I was there the bartender disappeared and everyone was trying to pay and get something ordered. At the end of the I left and went to Logan's an got an awesome service. read more

wasn't very packed but still took almost 2 hours for food to be cooked. brought my future and bother in law a kids meal when he specifically asked for a full sized meal . found hair in our food . wouldn't recommend for big family's or people in a hurry it was all around a very bad experience and will not be coming back. read more

A group from work ordered lunch to be picked up from Applebee's. We waited 30 minutes after promised time to actually get our food. When we got it to the office, we found salads with brown lettuce and some chicken. Considering we had ordered different types of salads, we couldn't determine who got what but it didn't matter because there was nothing other than brown lettuce and chicken. I paid $15 for this salad that I couldn't eat. We called and spoke with the manager who promised to send us all gift cards via email and took down our email addresses. That was well over a month ago and still nothing. I will never order pick up or eat at this restaurant. read more

My grandson and I went to Applebees on Morgan Street in Evansville, Ind. it was around 11:00am. A young man , Orlando, was the only person sitting people and taking and delivering orders. I was impressed by the way he worked. He was still friendly with everyone but was professional. He was hurrying as fast as possible without being rude. Good job Orlando! read more

We've been there before and the food was usually good. Went twice during the last two weeks. Top notch service and the food was great. The sound level was good. Just a little background noise but we could still have conversation. We like the bar area so we can see the tv's. Cleanliness was great. Highly recommend. read more

My visit on January 23rd, 2024 did not go well. The DISTRICT MANAGER was there and staff were on edge. I ordered the "all you can eat" shrimp, riblets and wings. The service was inconsistent at best. The riblets were burned beyond recognition, void of any sauce or taste. The boneless wings were inedible. Hard, crusty with little to no chicken discernible within. Even the sauce was substandard. The shrimp were OK but unexceptional. The table was sticky, the bathroom dirty. Save you $$$$ and go elsewhere. The should have paid me to eat there! WELL BEYOND BAD! read more

Don't waste your money. There is no management skills showing. I walked into bathroom and a new liquid soap cartridge was laying but the lavatory. My fish was like half prepared fiddlers, you know white and under cooked and it is just thrown in the deep fryer. Maybe old in freezer. Tables sticky. I looked at other reviews and they are spot on, maybe a little high. Can't rate lower. Sorry read more

Ordered prime rib side salad garlic mashed potatoes breadsticks with beer cheese. The beer cheese was way below par not terrible but definitely not worth the price given that it was delivery the steak was good enough salad was fine. The pretzel bread sticks were so heavily salted It was hard to even eat them combine that with the subpar beer cheese definitely not worth the price. read more

Applebee's is no longer the preferred Neighborhood Grill and Bar it once was. They still have great specials for two people such as 2 for $20 or 2 for $25. Half priced appetizers and drink specials. The food is hit or miss. Visited this location on a Sunday at 1230pm. There were 39 people in the restaurant. Three tables were speaking to a manager for cold food and long waits. One table only one person ever received food. We waited for 45 minutes as tables before us received steaks. Once we received a burger and pasta we waited another 15 min for napkins, silverware and drink refills. Now this could have been an off day and things happen. Food was decent and price was great. read more

Went on a Thursday night and had to wait an hour for our food after ordering. Then when they brought it out they brought it one plate at time about three to five minutes apart. I have never had such poor experience at this location. It will be a long time before we come back here. There are way to many better places to patronize. read more

Absolutely terrible. Waited several minutes to be greeted. We were sat at a dirty table to then wait another 10 minutes to be greeted at our table. Our appetizer was brought out to the wrong table by OUR SERVER, then taken to the back and brought right back out to us. The chips were burned tasted like burnt oil, the spinach dip was cold. All of the sauces on the sides were spilt over onto the apps. Then when my bourbon street steak came out it was way over cooked (supposed to be medium) and way over seasoned, and the mashed potatoes completely tasteless. My son was supposed to get Mac n cheese as his side and she forgot it, said it would be right out, took another 10 minutes. Before coming we even talked about how it was terrible the last time and decided to give it another chance, save the headache and go to the one on the west side. read more

It was 9 PM and we was hungry. Ordered a appetizer (the pretzel n beer cheese) it was out in decent time. When it came out we placed order. Quite a while latter 30 min to 40 latter our food arrived. We would have been understanding if they had more than seven people in the restaurant. 10:20 then we get our check. We was asked if we wanted drinks to go. We accepted the offer but they didn't show up. At this point we was more than ready to leave. Unless they change dramatically I would steer clear. read more

Just don't eat here unless you like loud obnoxious entitled ghetto people all around you. In terms of the staff...unprofessional, terrible service. These kids seem to have everything figured out. Except for getting your order right, or serving hot food, or being decent at their job... I don't even know where to start. I kinda felt dumb for walking in, in the first place. Sometimes you have low expectations and they get exceeded by going even lower...somehow. The management clearly stopped caring years ago. Why does this place even exist? read more

Absolute Worst Service Ever!!!!! Waited F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! Food came out wrong and waited forever AGAIN!!!!! Manager was not sympathetic at all. In fact, it was very much a "sorry not sorry" situation. Really no desire to come back and will definitely tell others to steer clear of this place! Soo disappointed! read more

Food wasn't worth the cost everything was overly sweet a falsely advertised I've never had lemon pepper that was sweet

Awful service for everyone seated with our server. Other parts of the restaurant were getting drinks and food. We saw other servers hustling. Our server, however, was rarely seen. We made three separate trips to the bar ourselves to get our own drinks bc she would not even make eye contact when she walked by her tables. Multiple groups left after being seated bc she completely ignored them for over thirty minutes without even getting their drink orders. Groups that arrived even an hour after us ordered, ate and left while we waited for our order which was placed well before those parties even walked in the restaurant. After waiting over two hours without receiving our food, we asked the hostess if she could find our server and help us get our check so we could leave. read more

the service was absolutely horrible the waitress let us sit for and hour waiting on our food and she kept losing our orders and came one of my family members what they ordered 3 times and he still didnt get his whole order I recommend nobody come to the east side one read more

I called and placed an order for pick up. They told me it would be ready in 15 minutes. Upon arrival to the Pick up entrance, I waited for 5 minutes, as 8 different employees looked at me and walked past without any acknowledgement. Finally someone came out with my order. One would think that when someone places an order To Go, the staff would supply you with eating utensils. After I got back to my Hotel room, I realized they hadn't supplied me with any utensils, so I had to get my own. Food was good, but the service was horrible! The next time I am in town for work, I will not be going to this Applebees! read more

Is it possible to give negative stars for this place? Food took forever. Tables that arrived after us finished eating before our food came out. Didn't even seem like there was a manager present. Filthy. What a horribly run place. read more

We were pretty disappointed with our experience tonight at Applebee's. The service was awful and the food was okay. Our server, Amari, was very very slow and you had to ask her multiple times for things and it seemed like our drinks were always empty. At our table we got the 2 for $20 with 2 side salads with honey mustard dressing, which was the highlight of the whole dinner and the cedar lemon chicken which was alright. The chicken was dry, the rice was bland, and the toppings on the chicken didn't have much flavor. We also had a pick 2 appetizer meal with the pub pretzels, which were very tasty, and boneless wings with sweet Asian sauce, which were very gristly. I would not get those again. Lastly, we had the oriental chicken salad, which was alright and had way to many noodles on it. Then, when we were paying, we tried to use the machine at the table to pay and it was not working so we had to track down our waitress, which took another 12-15 minutes to do. We asked the hostess to get our waitress, after waiting 5 minutes and she couldn't find her. Then we had to ask the manager with hair the color of a stop sign to find our waitress and she wasn't much help either. Finally our waitress appeared and had to take the card to the back to get it to work. Needless to say, we won't be going back to Applebee's any time soon. read more

We saw that they were having bogo free deal for "national wing day". So we placed an order for 2 wings. For pick up. Once we got their they told us you have 2 order 2sets and ur 3rd is free. We told them that's not what it said on the advertisement. It clearly said bogo free. They still wouldn't honor the deal. What a rip off, now i know what this place is always empty. I won't be back read more

Party of 2. We awkwardly stood at the entrance to be acknowledged for mins. I was headed out, until I believe a "manager" sat us. Table was slippery wet, with crumbs still on top. Finally our waitress came over for drinks, she was very busy. I heard her tell the "manager" no silverware. We got our water, and soft drink I was ready for a drink from the bar. No where in site to order.We got up and left. Other locations, never had this service. Sorry, just being HONEST! Too long of a wait, no service. read more

Food is below average at best. Bourbon street chicken shrimp had no flavor and the onions were barely cooked. Might have had 2 mushrooms that also were barely cooked. Chris was a nice server, but he was also the bartender and had tables in other parts of the restaurant. $1 margarita was the highlight of the meal. I can't imagine how this place stays open. If it wasn't a chain it would already been closed. read more

We went to Applebee's on Morgan Ave. because I had a gift card. This was possibly the worse meal I've ever had. Our entrees were absolutely horrible. I had the BBQ riblets and my husband had the chicken penne pasta. I can say that the salads were the best thing we had......even though we had to wait 45 minutes to get them. I understand staffing is low, and I'm not complaining about the wait.....the quality of the meals were awful. We didn't get appetizer or drinks and the bill was $35.......no way I'd go there again, even with a gift card. read more

Bartender was amazingly efficient even with a busy lunch crowd. She kept my plate and glass full.....no easy feat. I will definitely be back read more

I just ate at my local Applebee's. Service was a little bit slow. I had one of their burger deals with an add on salad. It took more than five minutes to get a glass of water. Fortunately, the salad did arrive before the meal. When the hamburger came to the table , it looked good, but upon the first bite, I discovered it was rare. which I did not order it that way. The french fries were cold. I know some people may like it this way, but the cheese on the burger was overwhelming, which took away from the taste of the beef. On the menu next to where the burgers are listed, it shows an add-on salad for two dollars and some change, but when I received the bill, I was charged a price of almost $4.00. I called the manager to the table and then he found it in the front of the menu as an ala carte item, and said I got a good deal. I must say that was not a four dollar salad. My wife's meal was, in her opinion, actually very good. She had the blackened cajun salmon and broccoli. I thought that the manager's lack of response to informing him that my burger was rare and french fries were cold, was really lame, and he just walked away after I complained about it. read more

Holy crap was this bad. 35 mins of waiting for food wasn't the worst part. It was the empty restaurant and the employee that endlessly tried to avoid talking to us about our food. We should have guessed something was up since as soon we walked in the hostess looked at us asked how many, and walked away from us to get someone else silverware. Once someone else took us to our table and we did not get silverware by the way. We sat for 35 mins for our order which was simple enough that anywhere else it would be out in 15 mins. My wife asked to speak to the manager, and I guess the manager wasn't told about it for a bit cause it took her 6 more mins to get to us. The food was at least hot and was edible. The manager ended up comping the food. It wasn't a good experience. Which is why we won't be back. read more

They have a variety of good food and alcohol. There honey BBQ wings are the best. Service is 8/10

Not great service. Got bad tasting margarita, ordered a different one and was charged for both. Then one of us in a Party of 3 didn't get our salad. Then 2 of us got our steaks, only one steak knife. I ordered shrimp stir fry & got sirloin stir fry. A comedy of errors tonight. Fortunately for me, my husband and I are visiting and go back to Texas tomorrow. read more

AWFUL! This place is next to go out of business. Staff was horrible..there's 7 employees standing around looking at us and none waiting on us. Bar was dirty from previous customer and bartender was lazy. Will never be back here. Disgusting place read more

Probably the worst Applebee's I have ever been to. No... I was the worst I have ever been to. After waiting for 10 minutes, a waitress walks by and asks me if I have been helped. I said no ma'am,so she apologized and said that no one told her that I was seated. Lol. Root beer was flat, French onion soup was cold, and my bourbon street steak came out 30 minutes later on a dinner plate with raw onions. Lmao. I told them them that it's supposed to come out on a skillet. They said there was a new line cook going through training in the kitchen. I asked, who is performing quality control back there? With a blank stair she responds with, so you wanna speak to a manager? I said no madam, please just take it back and have them prepare it correctly. 30 minutes later and after sounds of joking and loud laughter coming from the kitchen so loud that the whole restaurant could hear,the meal turns up. Smaller steak, cooked wrong, with no flavor. I sent that one back too and said I wanted to speak to the manager. She shows up about 5 minutes later and apologized with a typical snarky Evansville service industry attitude. Needless to say, I didn't pay. Heading to Texas Road House.. This was on a Monday night. read more

Picked up order to go and I called the number on the Togo sign when I arrived. They said they'd be right out. 30 minutes later they came out and asked if I was picking up order and I said yes. The server said, "well they didn't tell me". When I got home, no chutney on the bone in pork chop. we asked for plain burger with the items on the side and it was all on the burger, and we ordered celery with our wings. That was missing also. MGR wanted to make it up to us, but I said no. this is the third time in a row we've had issues. We will most likely just choose to go somewhere else from now on. We don't have these issues at other Applebee's locations. read more

Today was not good at all, BBQ chicken appetizer was warm to cool frozen old celery, burnt chicken and old Luke warm coffee festa chicken full of toughness read more

Not terrible, but never what you hope for! I'm sad to say I've given up on ordering steak here. Even with the new grills the meat is bland and overcooked. The honey chicken mac n cheese is always delicious though! read more

Great food always! Service is hit and miss but as long as your good sitting with a drink and not in a hurry then it's a great place!

Not bad today good timing with the service. Food was fantastic. I had the Fiesta lime chicken it was delicious and the sweet tea wasn't bad either the waitress was very professional and you can tell she knew what she was doing. I will go back again. read more

Food, service was good. Fair prices. BUT-------while the front door area was clear of snow and ice the handicap ramp and that part of the sidewalk was NOT clear. Made it dangerous for my wife who is in a wheelchair. read more
