I told my friend that I have never been to an Applebees restaurant. So, we decided to come here. Because we were in the northeast Houston neighborhood. I always wanted to visit Applebees on Veterans Day but never made it out there. This was a great eye opener for me. I ordered Southwest Chicken Bowl which was recommended by the waitress. Mmm... it was very satisfying as it came with rice, salad and chicken. Only $14.99. My friend ordered the Ultimate Trio, also $14.99. I almost ordered the boneless chicken wings and fries AYCE but the salad looked better. The wait staff was friendly and waitress came by several times to check on us. The power suddenly went out and came back in a second. All TV's were off. Few minutes later, music was blasting in our ears. We couldn't hear each other's conversation, we had to text each other. read more

Really need to hire more people or have someone ready to welcome guest when they come in. My husband and I walked in and waited for a while for someone to come by and get us a table (it was not even busy) And once we finally sat, No one came to check or take our order! Waited for almost 20 minutes and decided to walk out. I am a big fan of Applebee's but unfortunately this location is not worth it! read more

We had a waitress who didn't wear a name tag and caught an attitude when we asked if we could get our drinks 30mins after we sat down and placed our orders. read more

This location service is terrible the staff here need better training, the food was not fresh and I would like for someone to show what the oriental salad looks like cuz mine was cole slaw and chicken. The ambiance is loud there was a lot of people present so that's normal,overall this location is the worst I'll stink I've ever been to staff is under trained not polite not aware of customers and definitely not fit for the positions they are hired for. I don't think management cares about this but someone should look into this location. Stay of the cheap menu items read more

The floor manager on duty at 8:30 pm on 1/21/2024, needs to go through the customer service training his servers complete. My husband and I had almost finished our meals when he found a hair under his french fries. We brought it to the attention of the server and asked that he make the manager aware. We were not looking to be comp'd for the meal but wanted to make sure there was some acknowledgment for hygiene purposes. Instead, the server comes back and relays a msg from the manager that since my husband had already eaten the meal there was nothing that could be done or discount to be given. Some accountability and an apology was all that was expected but apparently the manager on duty was ill-prepared to do so. read more

Our server was Angel & he was awesome. He was helpful with selecting from the menu since it was our first time. Our drinks were always full. Great service & friendly. I'll be back when in the area. read more

If you are on a lunch break this is not the place. 10 mins to take our drink order then another 30 mins for our food to come out. I ordered the lunch 6oz Steak, substituted the mashed potatoes with a Caesar salad and broccoli. Let me say not a good meal. Salad tasted like is was not washed, steak had no flavor and way too tough for a sirloin, broccoli had black spots and my server forgot to refill my husband's drink. We ate so fast to return to work and my husband had to leave without me, while I sat waiting on the waitress to finally return with the drink he requested and pay my bill. I had to flag down the hostess just to pay my bill since I still had not seen the waitress. Terrible!! read more

I went to this Applebees location on Saturday and while I was enjoying my chicken I noticed that their was a hair in it I proceeded on telling the server that their was a hair on my food and if she could make me another piece of chicken and she hesitated and told me if I wanted dessert and I said no I really just wanted another piece of chicken that could of really solved the problem but she dint seem like she wanted to fix the issue. Mind you I dint even notice the hair until I was almost done with it I was very disappointed but I was more in shock that at the end I did end up wanting dessert and noticed they were trying to charge me for dessert when really I shouldn't even have to pay for this meal that clearly had hair on it it's sucks because me and my husband love going to this location and love Applebees all together but this experience ruined it for ous and totally ruined our night so definitely not coming back to this location y'all need to do better!! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Hair on food - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food is not to great. Service is very slow. I don't recommend this establishment. I not sure about this place

Worst place ever. Let's start with that. Hostess failed to greet us as we walked in, no smile just rushed us to our table, where the ceiling was dripping water next to the booth to us creating a big puddle with no wet floor signs. Waitresses lack proper training, and not a single worker seemed to want to do their job. Utensils were dirty, our tortillas chips were stale, and when asked for fresh chips, we received a plate with scorching hot tortilla chips, oil still dripping from them. Our entrees weren't any better. Fries were raw, hot, and once again dripping with oil. Chicken was still undercooked and overcooked, how? Thats a question for the kitchen staff. Waitress failed to finish serving us, had to call for her through servers various times just to get our bill. Do not eat here unless you have health insurance. read more

Without going into any personal details I'll never come here again. I sat at the bar on a weekday night and the bartender and customers were being harassed by these two country white guys who had wayyy too much to drink. Sad part is the bartender kept refilling there beer glass! I felt extremely unsafe and won't be returning. The Bourbon chicken and shrimps was good. The blackened shrimp salad was ok. The drinks weren't strong at all even after three you'll walk out without even a little buzz. Come here at your own risk late at night. read more

Stopped in for lunch today because someone in our party of 4 was "in an Applebee's mood" (only God knows why). I'm not really a fan of Applebee's or most of their close competitors because I find the food to be pretty unimaginative and lacking in flavor much of the time. And if there is any "flavor" it's from killing it with butter and/or salt. I had the Butcher's Meat & Potatoes, and as good as the picture looked, what I got looked nothing like it and tasted pretty bland. The only plus was that the portion wasn't terrible for what it costs. Our server was not too enthusiastic, didn't point out any specials, make any recommendations, or doing any upselling. She didn't even point out the dessert special where you get a $1 brownie slice with ice cream (available until 4pm) and we didn't even see it until we had ponied up for the bill. At that point, we were ready to just head out. Also, the menus were worn and a little grimy. This visit just reinforced my distaste for this chain and I won't be eager to ever return to this location - or the brand, in general. read more

My husband and I are frequenters to this chain, and have never had to leave a bad review for an Applebee's before. But our first visit to this location will also be our last. Tonight was truly awful. We came in a few minutes before 9pm and were seated, being told our server Kayla would be there shortly. By 9:25 no one had even acknowledged us let alone brought us water or beverages. I alerted the hostess (curly hair, dirty blonde), who said "Oh yeah. I'll take your drink order and let Kayla know." She got our beverages and told us she'd be over after she gets food out for other people. Kayla finally comes over and asks what she can get us and leaves with our order. Both women were nonchalant and acted as though we were the problem. Our food comes out, and the waitress is not to be seen again at our table. We finish our food, get all the way through paying on the kiosk at our table, and STILL cannot get her attention for a box. We wait another ten minutes (at this point it's well past 10pm) and finally get her attention as she had not visited our table at all aside from dropping off the food. I request a to go box. A few minutes later, she comes walking over with a box. I wish I were joking when I say she dropped the box ON THE FLOOR, picked it up, AND PUT IT ON MY TABLE. She walked away as my husband and I stared at one another in disbelief. We left the box and food on the table and walked out... Not one person saying a word to us. Y'all... I wish there was a single good word I could say about this experience. But from start to finish it was a disaster. We both left livid and without half of my meal I tried to take with me. The unprofessional attitude of the establishment is sickening. We didn't get back out of there until 10:30pm!!! How in the world were we in an Applebee's for an hour and a half? Stay away from this place. Try another location, or a different restaurant altogether. read more

Ridiculous. We seated ourselves after 10 minutes even when 3 waiters/waitresses walked passed us. I ordered dessert it was ice cream we had to eat with a fork after asking two people for spoons never got it. Ordered a strawberry vodka lemonade drink they brought us a pink water downed (ice melted) drink. I don't understand why all the Applebees keep going down no changes in almost 7 years. Just shut the bit.. down every last one. Every time I try to give them another shot I be so ticked off. That's it I'm done. read more

This is the second time I've been here and there's friends in the ceiling and not once have they offered to discount our food never comming back till the friends are gone but the service was pretty nice might consider comming back for dollaritasss at another location though !! Probably come when the friends are gone read more

Food was good but my waitress was outstanding . Her name was Natalia. if you go request her she went above and beyond to make our food special . Had a great time . read more

Food is meh, and the staff is a joke. Pretty sure there's some drug deals going on in the mens room. Took longer to pay for the meal than it did to eat it. And the music is ridiculously annoying lol. read more

Service was extremely slow, by service I meant the food. The waiter was nice but the food just took forever. Probably more than half an hour! Then when the steak got to us it was too well-done and was tough as a rubber. We asked for medium-well. We didn't want to have it redone because we were catching a flight and we can't afford to wait another half hour just to eat. The only good thing was the server who was really nice, but other than that I would never go back here again. read more

The Cjicken Fajitas are good; the flour tortillas are hard and rubbery. Not given a lemonade refill. Also informed by the waitress/bartender (when our food was brought to our table) pay your check now, we are changing shifts. I felt rushed and my honey was not feeling well (from his doctors appointment). We go to this neighborhood Applebees regularly. Then I never got a copy of the bill; just the copy I paid the bill with, I asked the new person on the shift for a copy. I would not recommend sitting in the bar area, it seems to be a poor service area for us. read more

Destiny H. Our waitress Thank you so much for the service she was very nice and friendly. Would come back here again with my family. Food was amazing and so delicious. read more

If there was an option for zero stars that's what I would give. 1. There was no greeting. No smile, no hello.....nothing. Just the question ......"How many?" 2. It was hot inside the restaurant......so hot that a couple behind us left. I mentioned it to the waitress and at first it seemed as if I disturbed her for asking if there was anything they could do about the temperature. She then said, I don't think there is anything they can do. Once the family behind us complained, she then went and told the manager who said it was on the wrong setting. 3. The service was terrible, refills came about 20 minutes after the drinks were finished and we were offered more chips with our chips and salsa order but they never came. The waiters were standing around on their cell phone or conversing with one another....... and I just terrible. It is a Monday night so it was not crowded at all! 4. The food was terrible. The lettuce for the salad was warm and my chicken in my pasta was undercooked. 5. When the waitress finally came to the table, she asked if we wanted more water, we said yes, she said how many, 4? My dad replied, just bring 5. She then says, this is why I don't work Mondays. The only good thing I can say is the chips and salsa and cheese sticks were ok. So yeah.....probably not coming back. read more

Jesse was a great waiter and the food was amazing. The appetizer and 2 meals for $22, were hot and seasoned. Will def be back but to go next time. It's a lot of locals there late night at the bar read more

The only thing good about this place is during covid they are still open to 2 am but I so desperately feel like I need to speak to a manager about service I e received. THIS PLACE SUCKS ! I'm met at the door by I'm thinking was a host so she seats me asks if I want a table or booth I say booth. She brings me to the RAGGEDIEST BOOTH IN THE PLACE , I didn't get a pic but it's literally all chipped off on the sides and falling apart then proceeds to let me know she'll be my waitress. We order dollar drinks of the month which so happens to be long islands which were great then she lets me know all apps are half off. So I get the app combo it was 15.99 so if it's half off it should be 7.99 long story short I got my bill and it was 20$ that's ok but she charged me full price on the app combo and I left her 5$ so I'm pretty sure she up charged my ticket to get more , I get that you need it in these uncertain times but conning people is not the way to go. Enjoy your 10$ tip I guess ! But I was terribly mislead and that shouldn't be able to happen ! Also she asked if we were paying card or cash I said cash so instead of walking away while I go in my pocketbook she stands there and looks away LIKE GIRL !!!! CAN YOU GIVE ME A MOMENT ? I'm actually a waitress I'm not going to dine and dash you hunny !!! So after I gave her 25$ I never seen her again. Funny. This place is a S H I T H O L E !!!! BEWARE OF THIS PLACE. Only come here if it's before 2 and you're drunk or hungry af. read more

Melissa is so slowwwwwwwwwwwww Oh my goshhhh. There's barely anyone at the bar and she takes forever to get our drinks. If your not focusing on her 100% she drags on and on getting your drink. She has a face as if she hates everyone. She isn't nice and delightful as you should be in customer service and I know because I work in customer service. She brushes you off like you dont matter I'll get to you when I can they should reconsider hiring someone else. read more

I can say this location is very decent the wait is never long , drinks and food are actually good before I came to this location I didn't like Applebee's at all had multiple bad experiences on the one on 610 but. This location has changed my perspective on this franchise and I always leave stuffed read more

took almost an hour just to get our drink request and when we had a waiter come to our table she didnt help with anything & just left us here without even asking us for our drink order read more

I used to actually be okay with coming here. The bar was open and you could order drinks until about 1:30 or 1:45 am. It's now only 11:20 and before we even got a server, the bartender shouted that it was the last call for alcohol. Mind you there's no curfew in place anymore. Anyway, our sever seemed less than enthused, and I get it--it's the end of the night. But we were told we couldn't get a pitcher, or even any shots. Only two margaritas a piece...which is the equivalent of a pitcher, if not more. I don't blame our server for our bad experience but the restaurant itself. Get it together management. No wonder everyone's going to the local bar instead. read more

Horrible service. Staff was very unprofessional. We walked in and there was no one to great us at entry. We had to find our own table to sit in. Our waiter destiny took forever to take our order and place was not even that busy. She Couldn't answer any of the questions we had about the menu. Took forever to bring our drinks. After bringing the food out we didn't get any forks and had to ask for them. Then wait till she brought them witch also felt like forever. Also she forgot about our appetizers and had to be reminded to bring them to the table. Very unprofessional and lets not forget how awkward she made it every time she approached us . Horrible experience. Never coming here again!! If you're thinking in coming here. Think twice!! read more

Went to Applebee's today the waitresses gave us plastic utensils while everybody else has metal utensils

I was greeted as I walked in and seated quickly. My server got me my beer and took my order as soon as I was ready. My steak was prepared perfectly(very rare). All in all a great visit and I will happily come back. read more
