The service was amazing! Our waitress was friendly & made us feel welcome. The steak was good and cooked correctly, mashed potatoes were undercooked and hard but the onion rings were crunchy and delicious. The quesadilla explosion salad was big and delicious. Happy hour for $3 margaritas was a nice surprise, cannot beat this price anywhere in town! The spinach artichoke dip was good. The place was very clean. Yes, I would go back for lunch or for a happy hour drink. cheers! read more

Great, respectful staff, area was clean and ready. Food was amazing and fresh. Definitely would recommend.

Abigail was a great host. The food was amazing and the decor was positive to local interests.

Bourbon Street Chicken & Andouille Sausage Penne was a 10 out of 10. Most definitely will get it again next time. My husband said his ribs were a little dry tonight. Our server Aaren was amazing. We love his energy. Seems like a very sweet down to earth person. Recommend my meal and it was most definitely as good as he said! We enjoyed our night. Thanks to everyone from the cook, hostage, and server. We appreciate all of you. read more

So it's A Friday night date nite for me and my baby.. we drove to Lafayette With the intention of dinner and a movie !! Which is about a 45-50 min drive for us After a hard day in the work world. I asked my girl where she would like to have a quick dinner before movie time .. as some of you know Lafayette la isn't the best place to drive around on a Friday. But hey it's the weekend !! Back to the dinner question My wife said she wanted Applebees grill and bar . So we found our way there in Somewhat of a hurry and pressed for time We found a parking spot and with a smile on our faces we walked to the door. Of course o opened the door for her ..! A young hostess first caught my eye. I noticed she wasn't having such a good evening. But she was polite and friendly I glanced around their were at least 12-15 available tables or booths And. I thought wow this is luck for us quick meal and out of there ... well she looked at us and asked how many I politely said 2 Then again she politely said this I'm sorry sir. There will be a 15 -20 min wait for a table. Now I'm a little slow but I know I'm looking at several empty seats and table . So I asked why would I have to wait to be seated With so many spots to sit were available (Her response on a Friday night was and I quote. ). Well we only have one server and one cook tonight !!! On a weekend night what should be their best night of the week ..! I held my breath. And actually counted to 10 .. before I told her politely that I could make her night easier. . Wish I could say I was nice but no . Don't open the damn door if you can't cook and serve the public .. I'm sorry but if I had eaten and accidentally have forgot my wallet to pay would they not be pissed off ? Needless to say now I'm sitting in the grand theater. For 45 min in limbo waiting on a movie I sure hope I'm not disappointed again Applebees just one star I know my money didn't matter to them in the big picture but hey I splurged and bought my wife a big bucket of popcorn and a soda along with some skittles . So she is happy and that is all that matters So no food no service and no excuse for them. read more

The food was good, but the string beans could have been more plentiful. The male bartender who served our to-go meal greeted us very friendly and we didn't have to wait. read more

The drinks were garbage and so was the manager's response. I told my server my long island iced tea taste like sour mix and water i didn't taste any alcohol. So he had the drink re-made with top shelf liquor. Got that one back and it tasted the same as the other. Then the manager walked over and asked could he help. I asked him for a different drink cause this was my second and it didn't taste like it even had alcohol in it. He told me he couldn't take it back. And if I wanted a different drink I had to pay for that one as well. Then he said they don't make drinks so you could taste the alcohol. But they put a lot of alcohol in the drink. I told he I don't see how cause mine wouldn't get a fly drunk or even tipsy. Not to mention they had no carbonation for beer, soda or any drink requiring fizz. The server was mediocre and he acted like he had ADHD. My wife gave he drink order and before I could give mine he was gone. Brought my wife's drink and I had to wait another 10m+ for him to return with mine. My steak was good but my garlic mashed potatoes looked and tasted like they came from a box. My wife order a full rack of ribs and they were dry. So she asked for a small cup of the glaze they were glazed with and they charged us a $1.39 for the small cup of glaze for there dry ribs. Not ever going back cause they suck!!!! read more

Good food and the burgers were very greasy but good food And the people were very very nice read more

I don't want people to waste there time ordering " 50 cent boneless wings", they're NOT WINGS, just nuggets. Kinda false advertising, on the TV, they say Boneless Wings, again, don't waste your time. read more

slow service, took forever, ok food but took forever on a SIDE SALAD. main meals came before the salad. disappointed. expected way better. service was slow and poor. read more

I'll be completely honest. Service was okay nothing too special but not the worse that I have personally experienced while dining in Lafayette. Last night my friend group went to eat at this Applebee's and the food was horrible. Either the portions were too small or the food had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. Also, $1 dollar margaritas. Our expectations were not too high but our drinks were all watered down. Like REALLY watered down. The worst part was we all awoke the next morning with stomach problems. read more

So its been years since I've eaten here just because I am never on this side of town but today I was in the area and wanted a quick bite to eat after shopping. They revamped the menu and atmosphere completely. I stopped here to eat with my mom and I'm so glad we did! We got the chips and queso dip and that was delicious!! There are so many wonderful choices on the menu that made it hard to pick. After going back and forth, I decided to try the Chicken Wonton Stir Fry & it was absolutely amazing! The food came out fast, hot, delicious and so filling. I cant wait to come back here soon and try more delicious items on the menu. Customer service was top notch and our waitress was amazing! read more

Ate at Applebys tonight. Got burgers and fry's Really good. Burgers were juicy . Will go back. Service good. I don't order any other food there. All their burgers are good. Ambiance ok. Booth seats are worn out and not comfortable. Could use a partial remodel. read more

Very good food! Service is awesome! We've eat several different dishes there and they are all very good! Love there salads they are awesome! We also feel like it's a great family dining experience! Try Applebee's, it is the neighborhood favorite! We have eaten at Applebee's many times, in Las Vegas where we lived for 24 years and now in Lafayette , La . read more

The food from the kitchen was given to the table before us. And the girl had to constantly apologize to all the tables around us. My food was good but my friends was burnt They did remove it from her bill but not a good experience read more

Applebee's have revamped their menu and customer service and surprisingly it's great!! I have been back a few times since they improved and I like the place. Lunch time everything is done quick and hot for you and I think they stand a change now in Lafayette. read more

called twice to ask how long a wait time was, and both times was told to wait just a moment. they then hung up on me. other times the service was good, but it is very back and forth. read more

I'm not one to ever leave good or bad reviews, but I have to speak up about this. Zero stars, if it was an option. We decided to try Applebee's on Johnston St. one last time before I put it on my list of restaurants I will never go back to. It was worse than the time before, and the time before that. We ordered the combo appetizer, and were planning on ordering lunch if our waiter ever came back to take our order. Never did. There were only about 5 other people in the whole restaurant at 11:30 am. The combo appetizer had store-bought Tostidos for chips (manager said they were because they ran out of regular chips), lukewarm boneless wings, pink juice with chunks of tomato for salsa, and..... no plates with the appetizer for a family of 4, and server disappeared after he dropped the "food" off. Server never returned. I had to get the hostess to bring our check after my wife and kids had a few bites. We wasted nearly 45 mins of our day in there. Portions have shrunk considerably, too. We paid for our appetizer and drinks, then left to go somewhere else. I do not recommend them anymore. read more

Me and friends went here to this AppleBee to pregame before going to a Popeyes chicken buffet , informed by friends that there's $1 Long Island Iced Tea(LIT) special at the AppleBee. When we arrived to the location our friends are already here , the waitress immediately came by , she is very nice and very attentive. She often comes back asking us if we need anything refills or need another Long Island . We also ordered mozzarella sticks and chips and salsa just so we can also make it to Popeye chicken buffet. The $1 drinks are on the weak side and they are small. For the four of us we ordered 10 of the LIT and it was a very good deal to have. read more

The staff is friendly. restaurant clean. Food arrive timely and hot. Had the burger, cheese sticks and wings. All was good.

Seriously who in their right mind puts a medium rare steak on a hot skillet? Also my son cannot eat cheese and we ordered no cheese on the burger and it comes out with cheese. And the sad excuse for a "top shelf" long island, it was completely watered down and i could taste the fact one perk of being a former bartender. Absolutely the worst experience in an Applebee's and it's here on our anniversary. If you come here because the wait is too long at tx Roadhouse, just go to a different restaurant completely. As a former chef and military cook I've had better meals come out of a plastic package in the field. read more

Okay, before I get into it I just want anyone and everyone to know that this place is the absolute worst place I have ever eaten at. I normally don't take the time to do these kinds of things but it would be a disservice to humanity to allow others to go waste their time and money at this garbage dump of a restaurant. Staff was nice. Waitress was friendly. The food. The food is terrible. Tastes like everything is frozen. My fiancé's entree smelt like complete trash. Food was definitely microwaved. Chicken park looked like the sauce was scraped from the bottom of a 99 year old barrel. Just no. Don't do it to yourself or your family. Stay away from this place. Go to walk one instead. read more

Applebee's has made a very drastic change since my previous visit. New menu and looks all around. Definitely made a 180 with this restaurant. I ordered the crispy bourbon chicken and it was fantastic. We had the make your own trio of quesadillas, cheeseburger egg rolls and crispy tacos. Everything came out quick and flavors were on point. If you were disappointed with Applebee's as I once was I suggest you give them another try. read more

I normally can find something good to say about any place but not these people. If I get seated and I do not at least get a glass of water within the first 5 minutes there are going to be issues. I could never find my server to get a refill on my drink my food was brought out barely warm and when I asked for a manager I was told the manager was unavailable. This place sucks it makes the food at Hooter's seem classy. read more

Absolutely horrible. The food is super low quality. I got 2 for $20 and some how wound up having to pay $47. I'm never going back

I have visited this location a few times and will never be back. How are they even still open in a town full of great options? Service is horrible and the food is even worse. The chicken strips are definitely just Tyson's frozen chicken, and to be honest the place is grungy. Do your self a favor and go spend the same money somewhere else for a much better meal. read more

Last time I went here I said NEVER AGAIN!!! My job have out Applebee's gift cards so I decided I'd give them another try.Long story short, NEVER AGAIN, you couldn't pay me to go here. Bad service, mediocre food, bad service(just making sure to let you know the service is bad), and and the waitress said after not getting me any refills or anything that she'd like a good tip because she had to work late. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

It was so bad we didn't even order food. I went for a late night app and drinks and half of the tables were covered with dirty dishes. We sat at the bar and noticed dirty dishes all across snd behind the bar, a few of them had flys. One of the most disgusting things I've seen in a "restaurant" in awhile. We decided to leave before even looking at a menu. Knock this place down and start fresh with something better! read more

Service was incompetent, although friendly, and my Orange Chicken Rice bowl was NASTY, although my friends Grilled Shrimp and Island Rice was pretty good. WARNING: the triple chocolate meltdown's picture looks amazing, I know, but it is storebought and nasty!!!! read more

Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly!! Food was very hot and tasteful. My fiancé and I will definitely visit again and refer our family and friends. read more

Much the same as the other review. Service was terrible, everything was too expensive. 8 dollars for a glass of cheap wine, another 7 or 8 bucks for the spinach and artichoke dip, of which there was enough to fill 6 Chios. I too asked to speak to the manager, something I never do. And of course the manager took 20 minutes to come to my table. When prompted to leave a tip on the check, I simply wrote 'BULLSHIT'. Absolutely horrible. Oh, and the food sucked too. Not hot at all and no flavor. read more

I love the new menu! The won ton tacos are the best. If you haven't been there lately you must give it another shot.

Great experience I enjoyed how the waiter's and waitress's are happy at any point of the day also good to fill up your stomach for the night also makes a great date to go on. read more

Ummm our waitress was kinda rude she was late she didnt pay attention to our yable and she was forgot food and her name is Hailey R

Not the best service or cleanest place. They had old workers who came to visit and sat at the bar, they were talking so loud and had the most inappropriate conversations going on while we were eating. On a better note the fried green beans are delicious read more

Poor service. I Odered my margarita before my meal. After I finished my meal I still have not get my margarita. Not even busy tonight.

Pretty sure all of the food at my table was frozen and microwaved to order; and I had the runs before I even left the parking lot. Will not return read more

I'm the GM of Applebees, my names Asher Cabrera. We've been working hard the last 2+ years to bring our service level to next level and our food quality. This store went through a rough time several years ago and I can proudly say now we reached a level execution that even surprises me sometimes. We are not perfect, even though we strive for it, so if you ever have an experience that was less than desirable, please let me know. read more

I was not pleased with my visit to Applebees on Saturday. My girlfriend and I got there at 12:30 am on the dot to be greeted by locked doors and a waitress whom was cleaning the tables and just gawked at us when we tried to open the door before returning to table cleaning. I wasn't pleased at all so I called the restaurant up and asked why are they locked up when it's only 12:30. I was greeted on the phone by an employee named Ashley who was full of attitude and barked "WE'RE CLOSED" . I asked to speak to a manager and spoke to a guy named Daryl who was acting as if he was oblivious to the fact that both front doors were locked. He said "o no, that's just the car-side to go that's closed; the doors are locked?! Really?" "I'll have them open it up for you all"; to which I replied, no, that's okay, we're already on the road. We've left. He said "O, OK, bye!" and hungup. This is not a common practice at every applebees I hope...Ridiculous. Not pleased by the service or lack there of... read more

In a time where customer service has gone out of the window in most cases, I was more than happy with Applebee's. The manager comes check on tables as well as attentive hostess and waiters. But besides the very good customer service, the food was the best I've had in quite sometime. I'm a steak snob, and believe that only a ribeye is a real steak but Applebee's changed my mind on that. I ordered the Bourbon sirloin and it was cooked perfectly as well as seasoned perfectly. I damn near licked my plate clean!!!! I've had real Steakhouses who did not do as good of a job. read more
