This restaurant is SO unpredictable. 50% of the time, the meal is cold, tasteless, old, and just downright awful. Do not get the chicken on the calorie - saver portion of the menu. Steaks here are either hit or miss, too. My friend ordered the Bourbon Street steak medium rare and it was medium well at best. However, my macaroni & cheese and appetizer artichoke dip was wonderful. It was cheesy and "gooey" and delicious and the artichoke dip was everything you'd want it to be, served with fresh tortilla chips. All in all, you're either gonna leave REALLY happy or REALLY dissatisfied. read more

I always was a fan of Applebees but this time was off.The pretzels and beer cheese were not good.They were overly cooked .We split the mushroom Swiss burger combo.It was floating in mayonnaise.The only good part is service was great and the beer was cold .Otherwise a dud of a stop for The Working Man Review. read more

My husband and I came in to use a gift certificate we had received. I ordered the cheeseburger sitting in cheese but it was supposed to come with fries. The waiter brought out food but he wasn't who took order and I couldn't find out why I didn't get fries. Half the meal was over when she finally showed up and asked if everything was okay. I said does this not come with fries and she said yes, I showed her my plate and she acted like I had eaten fries that obviously had never been served. She served them in time for me to be leaving. She offered to put fries in box, but I hate cold fries and it ruined date night bc he felt horrible that I didn't have enough food. In this economy I won't spend my money in a restaurant that treats ppl the way she did. I would rather spend more for a quality meal that I can take leftovers home from. Your business may go the was of Wendy's. Bankruptcy may be in the future of the business of you don't get this fixed. read more

Always a steady choice. Service was quick and friendly. No complaints. I wish they had better drink specials at lunch, but it is what it is. I was craving cheese sticks and they were fantastic! Chicken salsa roll up has been on the menu a long time for a reason! It's always a great lunch choice! Atmosphere was fairly quiet and not too fussy. I wish they still had the farm burger. It was fantastic! Our server was Kelly and she was friendly and quick. The table was a little dirty, but nothing I would get upset about. In all, Applebees is a good all around restaurant that everyone can find something they like on the menu. I wish I was hungry for desert because theirs always look amazing! Late night for half price appetizers and drink specials is really my favorite time to eat here. Cheers! read more

Brownie was as hard as a brick. I couldn't even cut it! What a rip off! Uber eats delivery, or I would have sent it back.

No thank you. 3 things order 3 things they didn't have. Ordered a drink and they got it wrong read more

I used to work there as a utilities kitchen helper, years ago. One of the servers showed me how to start sending emails. read more

Honestly, I don't think I'll ever eat here again. My food was horrible. My chicken was dry and bland. My sides were dry and cold. It's a waste of time and money. I DO NOT recommend! Should've ordered from Chili's instead. At least their food is actually edible. read more

Got the bourbon chicken and shrimp with mashed potatoes, got to say it was cooked and tasted amazing the service was great our waitress was patient and told us to take our time while ordering and she was super nice, also kept me in stock with diet cokes, the only problem is that it smells dull and stale but other than that great place read more

Came here late on a weekday and they were surprisingly busy, but not a wait, the 4 of us were seated immediately. From that point on everything else kind of went downhill. First, our waitress was nice, but it took forever to get her to come to our table to get drink orders and even longer to get our meal orders placed. Once out meals were ordered it took about 45 min for the food to come out. Overall quality of the food was ok. We had a variety of apps and regular meals, but to be honest non of them really stood out. I would come back and try again, but as far as Applebees goes this one is far from the best one I have been to. read more

My boyfriend and I went here last night on New Year's Eve for a dinner for us... the food got there super fast we were not complaining about that but.. We did not get any silverware, we asked our server to please bring us some but she didn't give us any until about 20 mins after our meal was with us.. Once we got out silverware and it was dirty and gross that is very unacceptable when there is a pandemic going on so, we asked for more silverware and we had to wait 15 more minutes to even get any at all and on top of all of that when we got it one of the sets were still dirty and the other was clean so we both shared a fork and got to go boxes and left. Pictures of silverware included and might I add by the time we ever started eating or food was cold. Our time last night was very long full of waiting and watching staff laugh and cut around while we were waiting on our utensils to eat. read more

Great food! Great service! MATHEW is the best server there! sweetest man ever! always made sure our drinks were filled!! give him a raise!! We love mathew read more

SLOW SERVICE!!! Incorrect orders. We waited over 45 mins to 1hr for food. The waitress was nice and quick to get stuff but it was the KITCHEN that was slow. Only 4 people on the table. Looked around several people waiting on food and saw one table send food back due to incorrect order. WILL NOT BE BACK. Waitress NOT the issue it was the kitchen. Noticed browning vegetables on the salad bar like it was not fresh. Restaurant was not very busy. Place has gone down hill since last been here read more

Had a great time..food was great..I ordered the bourbon chicken & shrimp. Loved it..the sautéed mushrooms/onions were awesome. Thanks for the dinner..end of shift at work...service was quick and the waitress did a fabulous job. read more

Read the reviews first and was skeptical but I kind of had no choice. We came in with 16 people and within 10 minutes they had put our table together, set it, and then sat us. Our waitress was a little late at first but then was on it as far as drinks go. She was very nice to all of us and remembered all of our orders. She did everything a waitress was supposed to do, she didn't anything above and beyond but I couldn't think of anything else. Food was ok, I feel like you can't expect TOO much of Applebee's. It was good .. not great but I'm still satisfied! read more

Lunch for a coworkers birthday, party of 4. Waitress, Tanasha was nice. Service, not at all! Food came all separately. Like in 15 minute intervals. Rib order with fries, missing the fries.. had to ask for fries 15 minutes later. Lunch was early and restaurant was not crowded. I see why Applebee's is not a first choice for diners anymore. At least not the Gadsden's location. read more

Great service, our server was very sweet and attentive, however, the food was terrible. The Mac n cheese was just simple pasta with unmelted cheese on top. The steak was not cooked how I asked and the mozzarella sticks were simply inedible. I'm usually not one to complain about food at places but this was simply awful. read more

I just wanted a beer. Sat myself at the bar(3 other people across from me) at 755pm. It's now 805 and no one has even acknowledged my presence even though the server that seems to be working the bar poured a beer 3 ft from me and wouldn't make eye contact. The bartender came back from break at 810. No support from her teamates....that's bad. 15 minutes waiting to be acknowledged is terrible. At least the bartender is on the ball. read more

I ordered on the app and chose to pick up inside. When I went in to pay, the server was nice, but she stood over me to see if I would tip. It felt very discriminatory, so I didn't tip. I didn't feel like they deserved anything extra from me. If you are black beware, this is definitely a yt establishment. I gave two stars because the food wasn't bad and the order was accurate. read more

Was not pleased with our appetizers or meals. Wife said we won't be back. Our appetizer was cold our food was cold, the restaurant was cold. The one positive thing I can say is we had one of the best waitresses in a long time, she told us she was new there but she acted so efficiently and pleasantly you would think she was a career waitress. read more

Good food on the river and nice service little small but a nice sports bar all around jus outside of rainbow city

Me and my boyfriend are visiting here from new jersey and we loved our whole experience here. We were welcomed by a manager right away who held the door for us and our server keenan was awesome. He was fun and had a lot of personality. Food was good and so were the drinks. read more

You just can't ever tell about this place! One visit will be great, the next will make you wonder why you've ever been there twice. I am really not a great fan of that type inconsistency. I will resoundingly say that I always get better service and a better meal, go figure, if I sit at the bar. Maybe it's the captive server? Avoid the ribs. More often than not they will not satisfy. The flavor is decent but the meat is mushy and doesn't taste fresh. Get your ribs elsewhere! Often times the fries are cold enough to not be edible. The Tequila Chicken always seems to be good. The steaks are usually good. There's not a lot of steak option in this area and this establishment is one of the better. read more

Tanesha was a very good waitress even though they had her covering too many table. She was always attentive and professional. I had French onion soup that was cold but had a good flavor. The bourbon street steak had a very good flavor and was cooked just the way I like it. Note to the management the place needs a remodeling. Carpet had holes in it and the bathrooms had seen their better days. read more

Waitress Brittany is rude and was screaming making a scene this weekend. I mean, that's no way to be in public, and especially not at your job. read more

Went here for my birthday dinner, was very disappointed. 7 of us, and they were out of stuff for 2 of the orders. Appetizers were cold, everyone had finished eating by the time my food came out. Waiter gave no refills after we requested 3 times. He also said we would get a discount on our ticket, which we didn't. read more

Best Apple Bees I have ever been to my server Tabitha was absolutely amazing she was super helpful and made sure I was taken care of my entire dining experience. I truly hope that I am lucky enough to have her every time I come in. read more

I suggest the wonton shrimp stir-fry. Its really good! And the workers here are nice too.

Food was awful drinks sucked for the prices of the food and drinks you'd think they would try a little bit this would be a good place but I bet it's great for the hipsters of nowadays #nevercomingback read more

Went there for a late lunch was seated in the bar area. Other folks were seated AFTER we were ( only 2 of us) we were passed over by the server. Tried blaming the boss, which we found very odd since we didn't see one until AFTER we finally got waited on. Not a friendly place maybe to the locals but the outsiders always get pushed aside. read more

Let me start by saying the waiter was amazing and very accommodating. The food was far from it. The chicken I ordered was so dry and tough it couldn't even be cut. My daughter (3) got a hamburger and it was still pink on the inside. I won't be going back.. read more

Always pleased with our service here and the wait stays on top of our needs and fills our drinks often. Love the lunch options...just wish they made similar options available at dinner too like the soup and 1/2 sandwich or salad and 1/2 sandwich. They do offer them except seperately and it would be nice to get a little deal like soup or salad & a whole sandwich at dinner too. Overall though, we're always pleased. If you go weekly however, you tend to get burned out on it...so we make it no more than once per month or twice if we go once during lunch and once for dinner. Would like Wifi and would like discounts available through their cell phone app. read more

It's hit or miss here. Order through car side To go and got home no salad dressing for my oriental salad and the 4 cheese mac and cheese was just like eating watery noodles. I don't think I'll be back here again. read more

Haven't eaten at Applebee's for 15 years. Ate at this location and could not believe how disgusting it was. We got take out, it was fairly expensive and it was basically a couple of microwave pasta dinners that were set outside to cool. They were cold, undercooked and tasted terrible, zero flavor. It was definitely not cooked in house, not restaurant quality food. read more

Not willing to seat a large family! The servers were rude when we questioned whether we would get a seat after 45 minutes. Every small group quickly received a boot but they would not push tables together for us. read more

We come here all the time and tonight we came and they were so rude to us and several customers tonight. I might never come back just because of the way we were treated. Customer service is a must in this business and mistreating customers is the #1 DON'T in this business!!!! read more

Applebee's is a chain and the quality is fairly consistent from place to place. This location is typical of most Applebee's. It has good food with good variety. The menu changes fairly often but it is a solid value. read more
