    We had a really fun time at Applebee's last night. We sat at the bar and came for drinks and appetizers. The fun holiday drinks were only 5 dollars and were yummy. I got the brew pub pretzels. They were really good with a good dip! I tried my friend's onion rings and they were perfectly cooked, tasted good and were served with bbq sauce to dip which I had never had with onion rings before but I definitely liked! The bartender, Jessie was really nice and did a great job putting up with our antics! He's a keeper for sure.

    Let's start with the pros. This restaurant is still taking COVID-19 precautions. You must wear a mask to enter. They are actually spacing out patrons so we were definitely at least 6 feet or more from other customers. Our server was very nice. The $5.00 drink special I ordered was really big so I definitely got my money's worth. The cons. My husband was the only one who enjoyed his entire meal, which was fish and chips (fries). I had a chicken and broccoli Alfredo that just wasn't great. There wasn't enough sauce on my food. The broccoli was bland. My oldest son had steak. He liked the steak, but his broccoli wasn't good either. My younger son had a cheeseburger. He said it was alright. They also forgot my youngest son's side of yogurt, but they did eventually bring it out. I'm a foodie so I want to eat good food when I go out. The food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't good either. Overall, I'd suggest coming here for drinks and maybe appetizers or dessert.

    There is a smell of mildew as you walk in pretty strong and I almost walked out not able to stomach it, but we were seated in a separate area. The waiter and staff were nice and the food was fine. I do enjoy their military appreciation so I'll give a 3 star.

    Came here for dinner on NYE around 930pm. There were open tables but many needed cleaning. My sis and I were seated promptly. We waited at least 15-20 minutes, no one came. Finally a manager walked by and took our drink orders. We ordered a cocktail that was on special and waters. She said our waitress would be around soon. Natalie (our waitress) arrived at our table at 10:01pm. I looked at the clock. We both ordered chicken quesadillas and I ordered thre AYCE special, with riblets! After about another 15-20 mins, the quesadillas and cocktails came. We were pleased. I only ate two, because my plan was to mostly eat my AYCE entree. We waited... the people behind us got their apps and entree even though they'd been seated AFTER us. (Same waitress and section). I was heated and hungry! Also, I could see Natalie dealing with a large group that was clearly stressing her. I didn't say anything, the manager came by at 10:50pm and saw the grief on my face and asked if I'd gotten my food. Uhhhh no! She then said she'd take care of us when the check comes. Natalie came over soon after to apologize and say that the entree was otw. I was so annoyed! She asked if I wanted her to go ahead and enter a refill... I said yes since it all taking so long. Of course, yes! My food came out after 11pm. The main plate looked great. The refill plates were filled with fries but only 5 shrimp and 5 dry boneless wings (facepalm). I ate half my main plate and asked for go boxes. When the check came, they charged for two AYCE specials when we only ordered one, then after the manager said she'd take care of it, she only comp'd $5 off the bill. I still felt like she should've taken care of the entree since that caused the hassle. They removed the extra entree. All in all, Natalie was pleasant-tempered, but her non-verbal communication was not forgiving. I tried to remain pleasant since I knew she was stressed from the other table. The main entree and apps were good but those refills looked horrible and tasted mediocre. I appreciate the availability on a holiday where most restaurants were closed but please do better Applebee's. However, I'll probably be back.

    This is a total turnaround on the Applebee that I used to go to. We ordered our food to go and everything with fresh hot and very very good. I would definitely recommend this location. When we went they were following the CDC guidelines so you may have to wait for a table, but the waits not long at all!

The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.

    First time at this chain. Was pretty impressed. Parking spaces in the back (appreciate the parking…read morelot for parking a truck). Restaurant was clean. Bar was nice with 4 large TV's and nice beer and liquor selection. We opted to do the $15 flight. You get 4-1oz pours of select whiskeys. The bowman port barrel was my favorite (smooth and with good taste). The least favorite was knob creek 12 year. Was not near as smooth for a 12 year whiskey (surprised). It will out some hair on your chest! Pretzels were my favorite appetizer. It was hot and salty! Pretzels were served with beer cheese in a cast iron dish (love). The pretzels were soft and buttery. No complaints. I will knock them for this dip trio though. That salsa tasted canned from the store and not a fan of the buffalo chicken dip. Queso dip and tortilla chips were great though! Service was excellent!

After being seated in the bar area, we were informed by our server that only appetizers were available. This was both confusing and disappointing, as it does not align with reasonable expectations for a restaurant still open for regular business. If the kitchen is no longer able or willing to prepare full menu items well before closing, that policy should be clearly communicated--either through adjusted hours or by informing guests upon arrival. Otherwise, it creates the impression of inconsistent operations or a lack of coordination between management and staff. Situations like this suggest a need for clearer operational standards, better communication, and stronger staff alignment with customer service expectations. Guests should not feel discouraged from dining simply because they arrive within what should be standard service hours. Overall, the experience reflects an opportunity for improvement in both management practices and customer hospitality.
