The place is...like any other Applebees. Nothing special about it. Lot of open tables, but hardly any servers. It seemed like. Environment was...meh! Customer Service. The wait wasn't too bad at the door. At the table, it felt like we were waiting longer than we were just to get seated. It's a Friday night. Okay, I get it, it's busy. BUT I felt our server took advantage of the "busy" night. Because it took about 12 minutes to just come and greet us. We were already ready to order and wanted everything out all at once. Specifically ordered the blondies to come out with the appetizer. And entrees to follow. We get seated at 7:40pm. 7:53pm our server greets us and we give her our order. 8:30pm the waters and appetizer is on the table. 8:52pm our entrees are out. I ordered extra shrimp. It never came out with the entrees. I asked the server again. The extra "6" shrimp, I was charged for??! Was only 4. She was cool about and got the extra 4 shrimps out quickly. Sadly, after that...we barely saw her on the floor. Our waters are empty, still no blondies. Needed to go boxes. And wanted to pay in cash. I had to ask other servers for help and they would go and call for our server. It got to a point where the manager had to come out and ring me up. But dang! Even the manager seemed lost. It was a bad experience. 2 stars for the food being good!! Being on the road for 11 hours and just wanting a nice meal in a reasonable time frame...the waiting makes the frustration real. lol! I'm reading older reviews and it seems like there haven't been any changes with the customer service. This location oughta get some better customer service training. Talk is easy. But it's not only for taking food orders. It's a full service thing. I know. I used to wait tables myself. This experience was terrible. read more

It was not a good experience; they stacked the customers on top of each other, making it cramped and uncomfortable. We ordered appetizers, and the lady who brought them did not bring any plates. I asked for plates and she said she would check, but she cut across the room to check on her other tables and ignored us. Our waiter never returned to see if we needed plates and silverware until our food arrived. Our appetizer went untouched. We never got any refills and were never checked on after our food arrived. read more

I heard they had a flight of margaritas , which sounded great. $19.99. 3 plastic glasses on a board with fruity colors. No ice, no salt , warm fruity margaritas with a piece of lime that was so small, I could not put a drop of lime in each one . We had to get a glass of ice to dump the crappy drinks in so they weren't warm. Food was just OK, and the service paired really well with the food. Both dissapointing . I will never set foot in this crappy place again. read more

We stopped by Apples Bee after a high school basketball game hoping to enjoy a nice meal with family, unfortunately our experience was disappointing. The Manager immediately accused one person in our group of being intoxicated because hes eyes were red, in reality all our eyes were red because it was late. We politely asked to speak with the Manager to clear up the misunderstanding, however she would not speak with us. We simple wanted to enjoy a meal with family amd a drink after the game. Instead we felt unfairly judged amd decided to leave. It was a very disappointing experience. read more

This is a nice Applebees in town and one that was surprisingly descent compared to the ones in ABQ. Prices are reasonable and portion are adequately. Staff can improve in customer service. Lightening is not the greatest but if you like dim restaurants this is the place to go. Food decently seasoned and cooked. Overall is decently cleaned. I would not recommend it for special outings. read more

Well, you know it's Applebee's and it's a chain. It seemed clean a lot of places close on the weekend around here by nine. It was a place where the bar was open so my friend and I could have a drink. Service was fair and drinks were all right. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - A couple of drinks and fun - Burgers Near Me - Farmington, New Mexico

Have not been to an Applebee's for a while and I have never been to this one. So new way to stay safe is eat outside. Everyone has a small covering and you sit there. Menus are used once then thrown away, great idea. Waitress wears a mask and gloves, only thing is how often do they change the gloves. Restrooms are cleaned every 30 minutes and they ask you use a paper towel open doors. The food was great!! I must say it was worth the stop. Fries are great here. read more

A small group (6) of is went after the movies for quick apps. The waiter was the worst ‍. He took our drink orders and only delivered half the drinks. Then took awhile to come back with the rest. When we ordered, we ordered 4 appetizers to share, since it was late and we were full of popcorn from the theaters. His responce was "that's it... are you sure?" When apps came out, we asked for a 2nd ranch. He said "ok" then proceeded to go to table next to ours and clean that table off. After waiting several minutes, we had to go to the bar to ask for ranch and silverware. A different waitress came over and asked if we wanted drink refills. Then the original waiter finally made his way back to our table as was like, "oh someone already got you refills?" Then proceeded to walk off before we could respond. Our waiter never came back to the table, instead stood awkwardly several tables away starring. Then brought the check over. Probably won't be back read more

I was with my mom and she has a knee problem, we expected them to have a table (at least one) ready because we saw about 5-7 empty tables and when we first came it it was like they didn't want us there, the first girl rolled her eyes and the second girl was talking shit about the customers she just had and they weren't even out of ear shot yet. We waited a while until the guy asked if we wanted a booth or a table, my mom asked if we could be seated near one of the tvs to watch the game and he got a bit irritated and threw the menus down and said "we don't have any clean tables there, you're going to have to wait" then proceeded to seat two people near the tvs before us, so we decided to leave and get food at Freddy's. read more

Took my niece and her son (8 yrs old) to this location last week (11/12/23) for lunch. The positives were: nice hostess and waitress. The negatives: 1) the SMELL. God! It reeked like a bathroom. I thought it may have been a mistake, but the smell never got better. 2) The food - it wasn't cold but it was below lukewarm. We ordered 2 of the "fish & chips" - I think they had been cooked earlier and were just waiting around for someone to order them. There were 3 fish on the plate, only could eat 1 of them. The plates weren't "hot" or even warm. 3) the overall appearance and cleanliness of the restaurant - it's dated. Like, SERIOUSLY DATED. The pictures/"paintings" on the walls - UGH, had catsup and crayon markings all over them. (Don't they ever wipe them down?!) Just nasty. While it appeared the table had been "wiped down" it was still sticky to the touch. (Maybe use a clean rag or something. IDK - ) 4) I DID use the facilities (i.e., bathroom) while there - you could tell they had mopped at one time as there were mop strings (?) wrapped around the doors, but the floor was still sticky. And that smell I mentioned before - yeah, it was in there too! Might I suggest using some bleach in there? And a good dousing of drain cleaner? I only go to Farmington a few times a year. It isn't until we are in that specific Applebee's that I remember that it's horrible in Farmington. I've told my niece that we need to make a note to never go in there again. read more

By far the worst Applebees I have ever been to. Waiter needs to find another occupation. Manager spent the entire night apologizing to people around us for poor service and wrong food orders. The restaurant was not busy at all and should have been very easy to deliver food and drinks in a timely fashion. No one at the bar yet it took 20 minutes for a basic alcoholic beverage. Food was bland and obviously just quickly thrown together. Should have figured this was the case when we got seated immediately on a Friday night at 7:00pm. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Staff doesn't care and obviously the management doesn't care either. read more

I would give no stars to try his outfit. We tried it tonight and could not consume it. It was so nasty. I will NEVER attend again!!!!!

Great service. Nice waitstaff. Food was fast and hot. Including appetizers. The 2 for $29 was great.

It's Applebee's. Not much to say besides the fact it's average food and OK service. Pretty quiet on a Saturday night, but it's a small town. Food was served quickly and no issues. Came with a friend who said her salad was good. Food: 3 Service: 3 Parking: 4 Ambiance: 3 read more

I would give 4 stars but my drink tasted like it was only juice, for almost $9 I'd like some kind of alcohol in it, otherwise service was good my Fajita wrap was amazing !! And we were seated quickly. If your wanting to have to drinks here I would wait for happy hour prices read more

Horrible management less then mediocre food... Favorite waiter is no longer there probably because of horrible management. Bourbon steak was gross...fiesta lime chicken even worse. Always new inexperienced staff who work super hard for their whole $2 an hour they get paid. Never seen worse management of a place, she literally blamed an employee for her bad conduct. Will never eat here or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Well first back here again in years , and this time we went because had to many gift cards too use, so we got seated right away when we walked in and place was not that busy and waiters were very nice and friendly she took our order right away and our food came out on time and we had the 2 for $27 dinner and you get a appetizer and two meals it was awesome and my father he got the bbq tacos and he enjoy it he said and they were big tacos too and so we don't mind being back maybe a Thursday because they have the all you can eat riblets . The manager she was very nice and came over and check on us and talked too us for a bit and she loved my husband patriots gear . read more

Well last night wife and I went to Get us a bourbon street steak They have been good in the past This time total crap Steaks tough and a lot of grit In them potato's cut much larger Then in the past hard hard under Cooked onions a little crunchy Found some kind of stem in onions We both ate less then half of our meals Most of the time we clean the plate Or close to. it will be sometime before We re visit this place if ever we don't Think there food is that great anyway The steaks is really the only reason We go there read more

Made the mistake of waiting until after 9pm to go grab dinner. BAD idea in this place they call Farmington! Since nothing else was open we went to Applebee's and discovered what the bottom of a dumpster must taste (and feel) like. I ordered the shrimp and spinach salad which should be advertised as the shriveled sea turd and spinach salad. The "shrimp" tasted and looked like they had never been in contact with water, let alone the open ocean. The bacon dressing served with this salad was suspiciously gelatinous (like the stuff you might find congealed in the bottom of a dumpster) and didn't have an identifiable taste which had me slightly worried about my health. Nothing bad to say about the spinach...just wish it wasn't drenched in the bacon-flavored dumpster splooge. Any hopes of a cold brew making up for the meal were dashed as soon as the waitress rattled of the beer selection. Does a large portion of the population out there really drink Bud/Miller/Crappy light?!?! Whatever - to each their own. Next time I need to eat after 9, I'll save myself the trouble and wait for breakfast. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would because the service here was terrible. We had a family dinner and the bill was about $85 we left a 20% tip $10 in cash the rest on my debit card. We had a good dinner as a family but as we left we were followed outside because their employees lost our signed receipts and the $10 cash tip, we felt like the service was awful the manager got involved and was no help in talking to us to resolve the issue, we suggested they should check the cameras that were around the area. They had us wait and re printed the debit card receipts we signed them and they didn't get a tip because this is ridiculous, they lost their tip when they lost the $10 in cash and the receipts. read more

Went for a late lunch around 3 pm. Not busy at all. Food was good. Only problem was the servers. Rude. Eye rollers. Attitude. read more

Had a horrible experience at this restaurant. It was very bad with service and communication. The staff was also very uncooperative (My family & I had to wait for an hour & a half for our food) and rushing around bumping into people with no apologies. I would not eat here again & would choose some place better. read more

As a recently turned 21 year old your main thought is how exciting it is to be able to order a drink at a restaurant. However that is not the case if you still have a vertical ID in the state of New Mexico. Applebee's refused me a drink because my ID was still vertical, and the manager was incredibly rude about it. Saying it's just "Applebee's" policy. read more

I've been here several times. I used to love love love their frozen strawberry lemonade. well after going in today, i can honestly say one of my last times if not my last time ever walking in through those doors! the wait time was insane, then when we sat down the waiter took 10 minutes to come ask us what we would like to drink, they were brought to us fairly quickly and the food took forever to come out as well. To end it all, the person with me needed a refill & we asked the hostess, he asked us to speak to the GM. who gave her that title?! she was rude & tried talking over us. the hostess cared more than she did!! and after that he was told by the GM he was no longer allowed to talk to us! smh. read more

we have been to a couple of applebees restaurants in phoenix, arizona and they are disgusting. crummy food and service. i cannot explain why this applebees in farmington is so much better. the steaks, burgers, sandwiches and salads have all been great. the service from the hostess to the servers and managers have been top notch. so way to go farmington applebees. for the record i probably will not go to another applebees anywhere else. lol. read more

Food was ok, service ok but the bathroom was revolting. Puke on the floor and smelled awful. Sat at the bar and 3 different times staff argued with each about who was suppose to do what. read more

Tried this Applebees; not much different from Applebees in Phoenix, AZ. There was a crowd here- karoake going (on a Friday), so a bit loud,... the waitress was not so well, she took our order and that was it- the rest of the time we were waving our arms, saying excuse me... not very friendly. My sister's serving of fries on her order was more than that of my nephew's order on his kid's plate- lol, so we requested more fries- we got the attitude from the waitress but she did follow through on loading my sis up with more fries. All in all an o-kay dining exprience, but nothing to shout about :). read more

After visiting here a couple of times, service has gone down. Waited for a table for 15mins, this was on a Tuesday afternoon, plenty of tables available! Finally was seated, ordered a appetizer and a beer, after another 15mins, Beer was warm and had no foam whatsoever, appetizer was cold. I asked to speak to the manager, they took 15% off my bill. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Supposed to be a fiesta chicken chopped salad. Had 4 beans 4 corn pieces and about an ounce of chicken. - Burgers Near Me - Farmington, New Mexico

This use to be an ok place to eat, if you wanted a quick meal. Is this one the that will be next to close? Out of steaks out of other food, tonight soup will need to b thawed out. Very few desserts only chocolate items on the menu. Heard Applebee's is shutting down many of their resturants. I paid 9.99 for a crappy sandwich that I could have made at home read more

Went here for Fathers Day, worst place to go. I've been to other Applebee's and don't have to search for the host. Mind you it was not busy at all when we went 1/2 the restaurant didn't have customers. That is not the case here, you have to search for the host or in this case the host will motion you come to her while she sits eating a basket of fries. When you are told where to sit and order an appetizer it took over 20 mins, finally we asked the waitress how long does boneless wings take to make, oh 7 mins. Well it's been over 20 minutes and no appetizer. Then when your food arrives it wrong, ordered a full rack of ribs and only get a half rack. Asked waitress didn't I order a full rack, is this a full rack he response oh did you. I'm not sure if that is a full rack. Smh. Then blames the cooks and says oh they read the ticket wrong. Overall worst Applebees I've went to tried to make Fathers Day a special one for my Dad and this was the service we got. read more

Nothing more than a hangout for alcoholic servers after their shift. Staff has no idea about customer service; no idea where menus are, no idea about specials or happy hour, care more about frequents than paying customers. If you don't know the bartender and need of some suspect food, Taco Bell is next door read more

It's a chain and typical of it's "name"; but still is a much lessor quality than other Applebees around the country. Service and food quality is lower than other Applebees. read more
