Don't go. Ordered 2 dinners. The chicken parm had no sauce and the chicken was totally overbread and dry. Just terrible. The other was a salad that had no salad dressing. Wtf. The only good thing was the waitress Mike he was a queen but lovely. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Geneseo, New York

Food was amazing and well cooked, the staff were friendly and fast, and the atmosphere, with the music and dim lighting, is wonderful for a place to hang out and relax. If in the area, this is a great place to stop for decently priced, high quality food. read more

Southwest Chicken Bowl is properly named as the flavors are just like being in Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona. Great food from a franchise owner that cares about the communities they serve. Always friendly people that are quick with the refills. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Southwest Chicken Bowl - Sports Bars Near Me - Geneseo, New York

Happened to be in Geneseo today and decided to go for lunch with the wife. We had a wonderful server named Erica. She was very attentive and friendly. She honestly made our visit so I really hope she sees this! We ordered our favorite Black Berry Bash Mountain Dew (which our now closed Applebees never seemed to have) and our 2/33 meals. We had the spinach artichoke dip which is always enjoyable and we both got the honey pepper chicken mac and cheese which was pretty good although I would have preferred it to be a little more cheesy. Atmosphere was typical Applebees but it was clean and comfortable. Not sure why this location has such a low rating...but we enjoyed it. If we have a need to come to Geneseo in the future, we will be back! read more

I'm not quite sure why the rate is low, but we don't see any issue at all. The food is good. The price is very good, it is better than local fast food restaurants in the area. Their deals are excellent. read more

Stopped here for lunch with my sisters and nieces when we were spending a 'girls day' together. When I read the previous reviews AFTER eating there I was very surprised. The food honestly wasn't bad and the service was great. We're not talking fine dining here but it was a decent meal for a chain restaurant. Applebees had a wide assortment of lunch combinations to choose from. Our server was very patient as we all decided on our choices, often asking questions and changing our mind. Our food was bought out in an acceptable amount of time and all together. Nothing worst than having a person or two waiting for their food while yours is sitting there in front of you. Do you wait and have your food get cold? Or do you rudely eat as they stare at you? Always a tough choice! Our server checked back often about drink refills or for anything else we might need. A large portion of my 4 stars is based on her service. Wish I could remember her name! I have some pictures but didn't get the names of the dishes. read more

Giving this a 5 out of 5 for an Applebees. Best Applebees around. Trust me ... I went to the one in gates.... Yikes. Food came out quick, pretty, and hot and our waitress was very sweet. I don't remember her name but she was from cali. Omg and they had dollaritas today! Score! read more

Hey so I'm sitting here rn and my drink isn't being refilled and there's nobody in here and my food isn't here yet it's been 20 minutes

I decided to come to this valuable and this beloved institution for my good friend DJ Bake's birthday (December 15th by the way). He was so happy to be celebrated by someone, anyone. You see, he grew up without a family, and he gravely lacked the love and support we (normal people) have all had growing up in a loving home. All the comfort he has ever been offered was music and song. Therefore, at his first birthday celebration, he wanted one thing: an appetizer board and a song. As our waitress approached, he was jumping for joy and bouncing in his seat with pure excitement. I'm pretty sure I saw him shed a tear of happiness. But those tears quickly became ones of deep sorrow when he was refused by our waitress a Happy Birthday melody. He threw himself on the floor, sobbing and screaming. 13 people had to drag him out of the Geneseo Applebee's, and this all could have been avoided if a song had simply been sung. Thanks a lot Applebee's... thanks a lot. #FUCovid read more

Went tonight with a party of 9. We were sat around 6pm and didn't leave till almost 8pm. 35 minutes for drinks and our food order to be placed. Served us with out napkins or silverware. Waiting another 35 minutes for refills on drink. We had to go to the bar to get our own water. We weren't given knives to cut any of out entrees. One of the people we were with had to cut his Fiesta chicken with his pocket knife. All the tables around us sat dirty for the entire time we were there. Our waitress had several tables around us we watch be served with out silverware. Get you stuff together. read more

All the upcharges on the food is why I give this place only a two. Also, the appetizer is kind of meh. Anyways, we came in around 6:30-7:00 pm and it was pretty busy. We did get a table quickly and the service seemed nice. They had a few servers and we were supposed to get one server but she never came so then another guy began to be our server. He was really nice!! I am so glad too because he was SOO much better! John! S/O to you! So we spend a LOT of time looking at the menu. Unfortunately they change their menu so often and all their items are similar. It's got variety, but it's still not super interesting. There are a lot of bland items on the menu. I wish they had more options for vegetatarians. They kept trying to have weird fusion items. Like cheeseburger rolls, or like tacos, or a thai salad, or srirancha shrimps or chicken wings. Or chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese. It was just way too sporadic! So we finally order, I got the srirancha shrimp, the other dining companions got the hamburger and the sandwiches. They were all really expensive!! For what you got! It was kind of ridiculous! They didn't melt the cheese in the sandwiches either! The fries were good though and they gave you a lot. The shrimp was deep fried and it was okay. It was just way too expensive! That's my only problem with this place. It's way too expensive for what you get! I may go back, but only if I HAD to. read more

I like apples bees grill and bar I like their food and drinks I would recommend going there

Marie M was horrible some of the worst service ever slow with refills all the food was dry won't be returning

Did she just give that guy my sliverware? Yup, she sure did. So, after waiting 45 minutes for my meal today (shrimp skewers, mind you, which should take 2 minutes total to cook), I asked for some sliverware (because, hey, it might be cool to have a fork and/or a knife when participating in an activity such as eating). Keep in mind, our waitress only had two tables at the time. It was just us and the elderly couple behind us, which had already paid their bill and was in the process of leaving. Which table do you think our waitress gave the silverware to? You guessed it, the table at which the man was standing up to leave and the woman was already sitting in the car. Really? I looked at the guy and he just laughed. On top of that, our waitress (who only had two tables!), neglected to take our empty drink glasses after bringing us refills, and as a result, from mid-meal to the end, we had 11 glasses at our table (see picture). That would be fine in any other situation (no it wouldn't), except today, there were five of us at a four-top, with me sitting on the end. It was crowded, to say the least. I hate this place with a passion. I'm not gonna say much about the food, because you already know it sucked. I got the Spicy Pineapple Glazed Shrimp & Spinach. I didn't want to waste my daily calories on any of this shit. I was there to see people and not for the gourmet food. My shrimp were small and rubbery, the rice was instant, and my spinach looked like a pineapple spooged all over it. None of it was good. After my meal I thought about all of the delicious food I could have purchased for the $10 spent on my shrimp monstrosity and it made me really depressed that Applebee's is a multi-million dollar corporation, while places like Lee's and D'Mangu have to fight for survival. DO NOT come here...not even to drink! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Hey Applebee's, ever hear of "clearing the empties"? Jeesh! - Sports Bars Near Me - Geneseo, New York

The waitress was friendly until she dropped our bill off within 30 minutes of us being there and asked if we wanted boxes- way too soon after we even got our food. And then not to mention the puppy the waitresses and manager were over playing with and then going to customers tables.... Huge NYS violation. read more

NO i was there for 1 1/2 it was WAY to long and it was $150.99 for 7 meals like what 5 were kids melas we waited 1hr for food and kids were so hungry i was mad cuz the waitress ignored us the nice manger gave us a 30% of discount and they charged 16.99 for a stake the menu said it was 14.99 bad service and would NOT recommend read more

Katie our bartender/server was horrible. I had ordered a steak med-rare and it came back wrong 3 different times. For each steak she put a plate in front of my face for me to put it on. It was so unprofessional! I had accepted the last steak because I couldn't stand the thought of throwing away each steak that was cooked incorrectly, and after a 30 min wait my sides were ice cold at this point. Her server/bartender skills were lacking so bad it made the whole experience much worse. After this poor experience, She mentioned how a manager would be right over to address the situation, and no one had come. She barely apologized nor offered desert or anything. As loyal customers of Apple bees and one of our favorite places to go for steaks, we have a bad taste from this and are no longer going to this location! I do want to mention at Texas road house, the same situation happened and they had brought out a brand new plate AND sides, brought a manager over to make sure I was happy AND gave me the option to keep the other steak/ sides cooked incorrectly. read more

Be very careful when purchasing gift cards with bonus cards. Bonus cards have short expiration dates and may not be what you expect. Very disappointed. read more

Went here tonight and was served by Katie and her training waitress. The service was horable. The trainer was complacent and trainee was lost. Couldn't get order right and never asked about a refill. She stopped by to get order, drop off food and that was the last time we saw her....we had to go to the bar in order to pay. What horable service for what we paid for. DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED. read more

Quesadilla burger! Whoever heard of such a thing? Well the brilliant person who came up with it, deserves kudos, very tasty. This was the only saving grace of dinner here. Everything else can be described with the word "yuck". The runny spinach artichoke dip accompanied with oily tortilla chips, the yuengling draft beer I got tasted like straight up BUTT..and the fries,,oily and unappetizing. The service was slow but we were chatting and were glad to not be rushed out. Overall,only slightly worse than most applebees read more

Just had lunch there with family and the food and service were excellent. My steak was as good as any I've ever had. Will definitely be back! read more

Loved this Applebee's. They have a lady that walks around twisting balloons to keep the kids and grownups entertained. She made me a heart with lovebirds. I loved the light fare choices and tried the steak with whole grains. I added a side of grilled vegetables. The steak dish was very tasty and filling. The grilled vegetables needed a few more minutes on the grill. basically they had grill marks but were totally raw. read more

Excellent service and great value for the money on the huge fish serving of beer battered fish. We had the garlic mashed potatoes--really good, cole slaw--tad dry for my husband's taste, and garlic green beans--tad rubbery but the fish made up for any complaint. read more

So, the service here is really slow. However all the employees seem really nice. The food was just like any other Applebees. I did notice that the table behind us were seated at a table that was not yet cleaned which was a little surprising, but they did not have any table clearing/cleaning people on the job at the time I went and the waitress had to do it all. So I would probably avoid going at lunch to steer clear of slow service. read more

Came for lunch and ordered the 2 for $20. My side Caesar salad had a large bug in it, looked like a fire ant. Received me food, ordered the chicken cavtappi, and it had absolutely no flavor. Was so bond. The sauce was as liquids as water. Definitely don't recommend read more

Absolutely awful! My husband and I ordered margaritas which came out looking like orange juice and with no alcohol in them. My daughter waited for a refill of root beer for over 20 minutes. Our waitress was horrible. Said she had too many tables, when all she had was 2, including ours. We waited for our meals and when they came out, they were cold, half of the sides were missing, and they were bland. On top of that, we waited for ketchup. Out waitress didn't even come back to check on us. We used to enjoy Applebees, but the last few times we've gone it's been terrible. Won't be back. read more

Thursday 7/11/2019 all you can eat special. Table for three,we were seated right away at 5:55pm. Restaurant was 2/3 full. Drink order was placed quickly but took waitress 20 minutes to return with drinks. We all ordered the specials but it was 50 minutes for the food to come. That's 7:05pm until we had some food to eat. No one cleared plates as we ate, when we left there were 14 plates on table! Food and drinks were good, but management needs to staff kitchen properly when they run specials. If apologies were money we would have eaten for free. Instead we were given a $5.00 discount. read more

3/17/19 8:30p appetizers we're great and on time but when I receive my sirloin meal the green beans were basically dying and the steak was so ever cooked it didn't even come on the platter bubbling cuz it was already dry and black. When the waitress asked what was wrong with the steak she used the fact that I got a lot of appetizers as an excuse to why I didn't eat the meal. I was obviously not happy and told her what was wrong and no refund was offered, instead she told me not to order well done or it will always be like that, UM EW NO. First time having problems here but man I'll never forget paying for something I didn't touch read more

We went on a Friday night the restaurant was not even close to half full! It took forever to get our food and when we finally did it was luke warm and the people who brought it never brought steak knives. We asked the host he then continued to walk by our table never brought them never apologized. Finally the waitress (who was very nice) brought them...roughly 15 to 20 min after we got our meal. Then we waited forever for the bill! We had our 2 year old with us and by the time we left it was almost 2 hours in the restaurant so he was antsy. When I got up to pay the bill nobody who worked there knew where I could pay. Finally I found someone and as I'm standing there another mother with 2 toddlers was sitting there and started talking to me about how bad her service was! It's sad because this used to be a good place to go hut now it's worse each visit. We said the last time we werent going back but it's been almost a year and its honestly worse! read more

One of the few chains I go to is Applebee's. I know, I know: it's just Applebee's. It's not fine dining - it's not supposed to be. That said - the kitchen at this location is horrible. I never really had a fluctuation from location to location until today. I have been to Applebee's more than 100 times in many locations and almost every time I go I order the Bourbon Street Steak medium rare. I have had it probably 70+ times over the years. Never had one this bad. I received my medium rare steak so well done there was literally no moisture left. This overshadowed the fact that the steak had to be 6 ounces maximum, it was miniscule. They murdered it. That may explain why my entree came out 15 minutes after the rest of our party. For the second time in my life I sent a dish back. The waitress (who was very nice otherwise) asked me "have you had this dish before?" to which I simply said "yes, always medium rare". 20 minutes later I had a new steak, again VERY tiny but this time only medium well (zero pink), not the medium rare I ordered. I was told "the manager made it this time herself". After more than an hour since I ordered I was done. At least this time it had some juice left so I had one bite and took the rest home. My wife had the "Spicy Shrimp something". It was a pasta dish advertised as made with Sriracha. It had literally zero spice. 3 of us tried it..... nothing. Definitely no Sriracha flavor and zero spice. Some black pepper would have made it spicier than it was. My son had a burger, they specifically asked if he wanted it well done or "some pink", he asked for "some pink". Again - way overdone, beyond well. He noticed right away but he is 13 and was starving. He ate half and gave up. There were a few other minor annoyances that don't even rate a mention, sad that this location has the bar set so far below every other Applebee's I have been to. Nice people but how do you mess up mass produced food so bad? Luckily this location is 400 miles from home and I have good Applebee's nearby so when I am in the mood I can go. I am near this one once or twice a year and will avoid in the future. read more

Every other time they mess something up. This is a very sad Applebees. Eaten here well over ten times. There are not many choices locally, so I risk it but that is about to end. The personnel are not trained very well, not managed well, or the pool of applicants in the area is poor. Orders have been taken incorrectly a few times, other times there have been missing essentials, and the food preparation has been extremely poor a few times. I eat at Applebees all over the country and this one takes the cake. read more
