Applebee's is one of the most famous restaurants here in Great Bend. I went a Sunday night, around 9.30 p.m. I am going to base my opinion on three criteria: service, quality and price of the food, and the environment. I am going to start with the environment because it's the first thing you notice when you walk in. The lights give you a warm welcome to the restaurant. The vibes that the restaurant spread change your mood. The environment stimulates you it does not matter if you are tired, angry or just stressed, all that goes away the moment you walk in. Also, Applebee's has a Karaoke night every Sunday, which is another highlight of its atmosphere. The food price is another feature of this place. They have affordable prices and the quantity of food you get is satisfactory. I got the Oriental Chicken Salad with Krispy chicken. It was a mix of flavors in my mouth. Without a doubt one of the best salads that I've ever had. As well, Applebee's has deals in some dishes, you can get two for 20,25 or 30 dollars. Also, you can have half-price appetizers every day past 9 p.m. on weekdays and past 10 p.m. on weekends. I tried the mozzarella sticks and believe me, they were exquisite, I loved the texture and the sauce goes perfect with them. The service I got was coherent with the fact that the restaurant was packed. The waiter took care of my order as soon as he could, and he apologized for the wait. Even though he was checking on me while I was waiting for my order I did not feel overwhelmed. Overall, Applebee's is a restaurant that you must try if you are in Great Bend. It has cheap prices, tasty food, and the environment makes you want to come back. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would recommend Applebee's. read more

Got a 8 oz. steak, it was very bland, I ordered a rare and it was absolutely not rare it was medium-medium rare. It was horrible.

Food was cold, orders were wrong, beer came with 1/3 foam. Wasn't even busy, we were sat immediately Will not be going back.

In general, I would not recommend going here. We waited quite a while to be seated, and when the people I was with asked a staff member about it, she simply said someone would be with us shortly. Still, we had to wait much longer. The hostess showed poor manners by taking so long to seat us without offering an apology. Our waitress was also busy working the bar in addition to serving our table. While she did her best, it took far too long for us to get our food, and when it finally arrived, the fries were somewhat stale. No one came to check on us after serving our food, and it wasn't until we were about to leave that they asked how everything was. read more

Genuinely waited 15+ minutes for a server to greet our table in a near empty restaurant with multiple servers walking by us. After 10 minutes we had asked the host to get our server, she walked directly back to the host stand and did not tell anyone we were here. When we finally had someone come to our table, 5-10 minutes after telling the host, they smelled like fresh cigarette smoke. Crazy long smoke break if you ask me. Mozzarella sticks came out before our bar drinks. read more

Get the quesadilla burger, it's so good. And the wonton tacos Also check out the menu of half priced appetizers after 9pm!! read more

Did Carside to go. The steak was mediocre at best, the broccoli was hard and undercooked. The sauce was super runny. Nice girl working the to-go orders, but overall not impressed. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Steak w shrimp and extra veggies - American Near Me - Great Bend, Kansas

Don't trust Jasmine with anything. She's a decent waitress but all she's looking for is a good tip. Ok food. Ok service.

This Applebees is HORRIBLE!!! Staff have no customer service skills to speak of. They could care less if you want to eat here or not. And the food is just as bad. I would rather go into the grocery store and eat dry cereal then eat at this Applebees. And make sure you don't get their mixed drinks! They are watered down and have little to no alcohol in them! read more

I HAD THE BEST SERVICE!!! IT WAS THE BEST !!! Food was nice and hot and delicious!!! MMHMMMHMMM!! Kaylee was ooooweeee Kyeal was super entertaining as well, best service from them 2 girls that I've had!! We like tre too! read more

food- my steak was raw didn't taste good at all service- I didn't get the food I ordered and then the manager was a d!ck about it. my bf couldn't even try his food bc we didn't get our silverware for the first hour that we were there! read more

***changed from a 2 to a 1 after leaving. We never got served after waiting an hour for 2 beers. The young, male manager asked us if we got our beers as we put our coats on and got up. Day late and a dollar short. Completely understaffed the Sunday before Christmas. Our waitress (who was great) quit mid shift during our meal. We then waited 45 mins for another waitress to notice us. A full hour between drinks. My boyfriend wanted to wait. So we did. I was impatient and annoyed that we didn't have service for that long. We grabbed the manager who apologized and offered us a free dessert, saying the bar was backed up. We ordered 2 draught beers. Instead of a dessert go help out the bar! Good start. Absolutely dismal finish. read more

This is by far the worst Applebee's I have visited in quite sometime, Rude, worst customer service, annoying, table bus, sat us down at a dirty table as the host grabbed food with his fingers to throw on the floor. Absolutely insane. Management needs to look at this staff. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Dirty floor right at out table - American Near Me - Great Bend, Kansas

Awesome hearing a customer complain to manager Joseph about the increased price of long islands and the managers says "it's because the retards upstairs thought it was a good idea." So disrespectful to the customer, upper management, every other customer, and to people with disabilities. Other customers at the bar talked inappropriately and staff and management was ok with their foul language. The only positive was the young girl cleaning tables and cleaning the bathroom. Management could learn from her. I will not be back. read more

I hated the heavy metal music! Food was good and service helpful. Interior needs updating. read more

Never know what to expect. Did Applebee's lose their direction. Over the years they have had dishes I really like a d it seems I must be the only one that likes them because they get dropped from the menu. The salad was good. The Salmon was consistent Applebee's quality ( overcooked ) and the vegetables were undercooked. Go figure. I eat at Applebee's if its the only choice. Luckily I live in KC which has an unbelievable number of top notch restaurants in every speciality. read more

This place is absolutely terrible! We try them once a year due to our bad experiences and it never fails. They take forever, mess up your order and the food isn't worth the wait. Never coming to this place again. The help is sub par. read more

Salmon seems to be hard to find at Applebee's. We find one we like, then the next visit it is no longer available! We both had the Savory Cedar Salmon today, it looked pretty and tasted good even though it was a bit overcooked. The veggies were undercooked. We also had side salads which were huge and delicious. The salads were very fresh and well presented. Our server, Solin G, was excellent ! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Dinner salad...fresh and tasty - American Near Me - Great Bend, Kansas

Came here pretty regularly during our stay in GB. The first night I came with my boss. I got the maple bacon chicken piadini wrap (no longer on the menu) and split the butter pecan blondie. For some reason, I had a coupon for a free entree, as I think the lunch portion didn't come out in a certain amount of time (I think it was 15 minutes or less). I got the triple hog sandwich first off- a monstrosity of pulled pork, ham, and bacon topped with crispy onion strings (also no longer on the menu). I also got the oriental chicken salad the next day and it was more than enough for lunch. Staff was friendly and quick service 2 out of the 3 times, but I was in no rush read more

Our waitress was amazing. She asked us many times if we needed anything else, and she was supper nice even with our large group. After we got our food however, she never came back. We had to call her back We were there for Kareoke night. That was fun, but a little noisy. A few of our guests didn't show up so the table was plenty big enough. The food itself was not so good. I usually love their mozerella sticks, but they were mushy and undercooked. read more

Absolutely the worst service we've ever experienced. Our waitress was MIA for the first 30 minutes, food was cold, couldn't get drink refills, and manager didn't seem to care about the service anyone was getting. Do not recommend. read more

Damian J was awesome!!! Deserves a raise! Our only disappointment was to hear that Applebee's still has not replaced their blender and is still unable to make our favorite drink - mucho mudslide. However, the reality is they still can't make anything on the menu that requires a blender. We think it's a bit sad that the company has not replaced their blender yet....I mean should I just go to the Walmart behind the restaurant and purchase an Oyster and bring it with me when I visit this Applebee's? Perhaps we will just go to Plaza Azul down the block for our drinks....I know they have a blender! Bottom line - take care of Damian, he should not have to tell customers after 2 months - still no blender. Thank you! I was about to post my message and heard from the manager they received a blender but it didn't work, and another one is on the way! I hope I can drink something from your blender by Christmas Eve ....ps great group of people hear!!!! Take Better care of them, so they can take better care of us! Thank you (no blender emoji) read more

Far from a good experience. Only 3 tables were occupied by customers and no employees to be found for 10 minutes prior to being seated. Wait staff showed no interest in taking orders, much less providing menu's or even remaining in the lobby to provide service. After a 40 minute wait, with only 3 tables occupied, we left. One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Would not recommend anyone attempting to dine here. read more

It was terrible. Waiting service was trash, as well as the food. Two family members ordered steak and both were way under cooked, one looking almost raw. Waitresses as well need to be trained to treat customers better, ie. not giving dirty looks towards customers. read more

Just ate at this location. It was late and choice in Great Bend was limited. The restaurant was dirty and disorganized. The service was slow and the servers got the orders wrong. This was going on at every table around us. I don't expect great things from Applebee's but this was the worst. The company may want to send some one to look at this location.I would recommend staying away from this place. read more

The server was obviously preoccupied with her boy friend as they were smacking in the corner. She actually laid down in the booth to "hide" from others. She was seen by another employee who did nothing. The manager was too busy entertaining his family to notice. The entire experience as HORRIBLE. I have been to other locations and had a much better experience. Great Bend, KS needs some help from cooperate office or they will have no business........ I will never go back to this location. read more

I went to Applebee's to eat and spend a good time with my friend from Brazil, we got tired of Cafeterias food. I invited her to go with me, I had three criteria for my evaluation. First of all the atmosphere of the place, the price of the food and the quality of the food. The atmosphere of the place is calm, all the time playing songs that made me relax, the place is also clean and smells violets flowers. The price of the food can change if you go after 9 p.m., there is a half-price and almost all the plates cost 4-7 dollars. For me, is a good option to go at this time and enjoying saving my money. The quality of the food is amazing because of the restaurant offer the real plate that is showing in the menu, I am sure that the select the best products to make the foods, as a result, the taste is incrible If you want to save money, have a good time with friends, and eat good food you should go to the restaurant after 9 p.m. read more

Do not use the curbside service. The breadsticks were hard as a rock and no alfredo sauce came with them as ordered. The bowl of tortilla soup came in a tiny container, half full and cold. The shrimp was raw in the wonton shrimp dinner and the broccoli hard. The French fries that came with a wrap were in a container that was not even half full. It contained 8 small fries. Received the wrong wrap. The manager said she would refund it. We will see. read more

They kept sending our food to the wrong table and when it finally came out 45 minutes later the food was cold. If I could rate it zero stars I would. read more

Place is dogwater took an hour to get some mozzarella sticks. Worst service I've ever experienced, our waiter was cool but seemed absolutely lost. Probably never going to an Applebee's again. CHILIS FOR LIFE ALL MY HOMIES HATE APPLEBEES!! read more

Nice waitress who recommended Asian chicken tacos. They were surprisingly good. Tortilla soup was a bit spicy for my taste. Side of broccoli well done and not over cooked. Surprisingly solid meal in small town America! read more

Definitely won't be coming back anytime soon. Give you the full menu but when you go to order it's " oops sorry but we forgot to set that out today. Can you pick something else" service is trash read more

Had lunch and the service was great. One in our party did not receive their soup right away, but the server and manager went out of their way to make it right and even provided a free appetizer. read more

Curb service for take out is nice. Thai shrimp salad was very good but kind of small for the price.

The food is is mostly good although the meat on every item was overcooked. But this seems to be true at many kansas restaurants,it seems Kansas people like to burn their meat. The service was horrible, so bad I never went back in the past year. If they improved their customer service I would give the restaurant 2 1/2 stars. read more

It literally like seriously took about an hour for a box of Mac and cheese with huge chunks of tomato & uncut chicken.

Applebee's is the place for college students in Great Bend! Sunday night is the night, starting at nine they offer half-price appetizers. I always get the honey bbq wings, which are delicious, especially dunked in the ranch. Sunday nights also feature their karaoke night, making a fun thrill for you and your friends to go sing and dance. The service may be a little slow, but I understand considering the place is packed. Tonight I was served by Ryanne, she was very friendly, and although she was busy, she did amazing. Overall, if you have nothing else to do, Sunday night at Applebee's will leave you with a full stomach and a smile on your face! read more
