Applebee's should be ashamed! The owner of this establishment should literally FIRE the staff on tonight, with the only exception of the 1 person that took our order (a woman with dark hair, shorter, and mid to late 40s). The hostess (a younger 20s person with dyed box blonde hair, black glasses, and a fowl mouth to match her attitude) turns people away at 9pm on a Saturday night (they close at midnight) with less then 10% of the restaurant seated. Telling Customers "F^ck my life" "your not going to get served" "it's going to be hours and you probably won't get food". She was extremely mean, rude and disrespectful to our ASD 7 year old when she was looking at the menus on the front desk, and the 7 year old was trying to talk nice to her. Her cussing was in front of an extremely polite table of BMX children. And she typed more on her cell phone than literally the seconds she would stand at her place and spew vile vocabulary at both customers and the people walking out because of her disgusting behavior.
The pink haired person that equalled the hostesses, attitude enjoyed snickering at her behavior and further enjoyed tossing plates one at a time down on tables, then rushed away so that the poor recipients of the under cooked, cold or just wrong food, couldn't not be told to him, as it was not his problem, he was not meant to be serving.
A extremely polite couple sat at the bar for service, and was never acknowledged except by the door dash people that were also standing around getting the same treatment from staff. After about 30 mins, they left.
There is so much more, but I will just move on to the health Hazzards we experienced and had served to us.
We were directed by the hostesses to sit (not seated at but pointed and thrown menus at) at our dirty food covered table. With food and trash under and around on the sticky thick groos floor. Pics included. We were brought the only cups to the table 2 waters, an ice tea plain, and 2 sodas. Our order was taken, then we were left sitting there. Approximately 30mins later the 1st set of still frozen cheese sticks were brought out. About 20 minutes later we flagged down a person that sent the hostess over to microwave the untouched frozen to the touch cheese sticks. She made some very choice nasty comments and brought them back. STILL COLD pictured also.
We then got 3 signature dishes that are heavily advertised served at room temperature, and 2 kids meals with no appropriate silverware, condiments or anything.
I prefer steak, mash potatoes and broccoli served at the very least warm. And 3 cheese pasta should have melted cheese and no cold salsa.
At this point we decided we were done... no one was eating but the kids WITH FINGERS NO SILVERWARE.
I asked for someone to clear the table of full untouched plates and bring me the bill for what was eaten. 2 kids meals, 2 sodas and a tea....$29.35 No refills, filled with ice... 1 meal- 2 chicken tenders and a packaged applesauce. 2nd meal- 1 corn dog and a packed applesauce. THAT WAS ALMOST $30 and served cold. My 4 year old ate the corn dog, the about 30 mins later threw it up. So 5 people paid $40 ( I tipped the only person that showed up to work and provide service $10 for her 10 mins of interaction with us)
The person that came out claiming to be the manager. He looked like a dishwasher that hates his job. He allowed the 2 previous mentioned employees to stand near by, giggle and make fun of our complaints. He only changed our bill because I actively told him we would not be paying for the other and that I had picture proof of how bad it was there.
NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!!
We were told by 3 separate employees that they don't make the food there. No seasoning, or anything. It comes made, the heat it up how you tell them and serve it. The "garlic mash potatoes" pre-made and not seasoned. "Just heated per order" same with the "the seasoned broccoli" the pasta, the steaks. All just heated up... they just put the servings on a plate. They don't even know what seasonings go on them, and the don't have them there.
The "manager" was 1 confirming this to us. It's all heat and eat type tv dinners at top dollar. Also why you can't sub or make changes to the dishes.
Im furious, disappointed and discussed....
Again 5 people walked in hungry, and 5 people left starving 2 hours later and $40 less in pocket...
