the service was horrible, took at least 15 mins to even approach us to get our drinks, at that point we already knew what we wanted to order. We order our meals with appetizers and about 30 mins later we still haven't even received our appetizers. Once i asked our server about our salads they then took 10 mins to bring them. We finished our apps and it still took an additional 40 mins to even receive our food which was horrible. flavorless poorly cooked i don't expect a lot from Applebee's but this is just so bad. read more

Third time we have been to this location. NEVER going back. The food was awful! Everything frozen or processed. Spinach Dip was good but the salsa & chips are clearly store bought. I make better sandwiches and fries at home. The employees were VERY nice and professional! read more

This spot is hit or miss, seems to be more of a miss when I've come in with a big party. The place isn't even busy and they can't figure out how to sit six people down. I can't understand if the place was packed but it was empty. Anyways we got this really great server, who we've had before. He was able to split all the checks and got orders correct. Customer service on his end was great. I ended up getting dessert as the only thing there that I could actually eat was a salad. My triple chocolate cake was good, took a little longer to come out.. but was still great, recommended. read more

Worst service bartender couldn't even ask me if I wanted water let alone lied and said he couldn't add a kickers patrone to any drink because we had a previous altercation because of his unprofessional behavior I honestly think they put worker and manager to agree because of race I had the manager tell me he had to ask him what was his reason infront of me very unprofessional this took place on February 23rd 2024 at 9:15 pm read more

Won't come here at all ... walked in and no welcome host... waited for 4-5 min for a host to come .. then got seated and waiting for another 10-15 min with no service... a group of family came after a few min more ... they got helped before us ... so to top it off bad choice in coming and spending my time here ... talked to the manager jasmine and she is attentive and friendly but seems like she brushed my opinion to her staff In not being there for the customers. Management and staff needs to be attentive to customers ... hope this reaches top management and they get back to us .... I thank your staff in showing me where not come anymore for future business... read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - The location of the restaurant.. after I left for bad service - American Near Me - Lancaster, California

This place has definitely went downhill. My waiter was extremely unprofessional. He came to the table and said " are you guys ready yet because if not I kinda need to use the bathroom " definitely tmi. I brushed it off until I heard who I think was the manager tell the table behind me " sorry for the wait, I believe your server is in the restroom". I ordered fettuccine alfredo for my son which was disgustingly soupy and a burger and fries. The burger was undercooked and flavorless and the fries were cold and hard. I took one bit and couldn't do it. The waiter seen I was displeased and said " sorry if I was in the back I cooking I would fa sho hooked it up for you". Not sure if he was trying to do a "blaccent" or what. Definitely will not be going back. Ew. read more

I was at Applebees on 10th St W in Lancaster last week. I called in an order to pick up and they told me it would be ready in 17 minutes. Why oh why when I got there in 20 minutes did I have to wait ANOTHER 20-25 minutes! So it took nearly an hour for a take out order. There was another lady also waiting on her order who was livid about how long she waited. At this point I don't think I even want to dine in there anymore. read more

This rating is based on two things. First of all the food was great. However, the service was awful. We got there and it was empty but had to wait because I believe the servers could have been on break, that is okay by me because people need their breaks. What I didn't like is that our server disappeared. After waiting awhile I went to see if the lady at the front could help me but she wasn't there either. I had to get up and go to the bar to get service because our server Alexis never returned after taking our order. I know it's not the bartenders job to help me but she did and I appreciate that. So this is the break down of the rating. Food 4stars service by Alexis 0stars, help from bartender moves it up to 2 stars. My advice would be if Alexis is your server make sure your order what you want right away or else you will never see him again. read more

I don't know where to start... I normally don't eat out. But when my friends visit and want to go out to eat, it's conveniently close to my house. The three times I've tried to order or go in person have been terrible experience All three times I've tried to talk to someone and they give me this number to call but no one ever answers. I was a waitress for a year so I understand how the restaurant business is but for them to get my order wrong every single time is ridiculous. They put you on hold forever which is over 10 minutes. Hung up the phone and called back just to be placed on hold again. Walked in waited over 10 minutes left. I don't care how hungry my friends are. It would be McDonald's for us. This Apple is not neighborly. read more

I don't even want to leave a review on how horrible this Applebees is. Was there for over two hours just for appetizers. Need I say more. We didn't even get utensils to eat our food or napkins. Our waiter came to get our order and then drop our cold food off. The list can go on and on. The manager came to give us a discount but then I come to find out it was just my coupon that they give out. Oh hell no. If u value ur time just choose another restaurant as matter of fact u probably will get better service next door at yogurt land self service lol. read more

First off I will say that as an elite yelper I try to stay positive because that's my personality. Most of my reviews are great. Was there yesterday around 6 p.m. My son turned 16 and chose this place for his birthday. All of which we did not even mention because our experience here was terrible. We requested a booth and the wait was about 30 minutes. We were seated and I did notice that they were many other booths available but I just figured it was all due to covid and social distancing. We ordered appetizers and food which took a very long time and in fact the appetizers came out with the food. It was cold. My husband had no complaints because he is a glutton when it comes to food but my burger came with fries and the fries were cold and not even the ketchup could make them better or come alive. The impossible burger or veggie replacement that I chose taste like crap. On top of all that some of silverware that was in those little paper bags were dirty. We alerted our server and they were replaced. My sixteen-year-old son couldn't believe it. Our server was Derek and he was amazing. We tipped him accordingly because he did go over and beyond.......... But the food was crap and needs to be improved. read more

If I could give 0 stars i would. Long waits, servers as bartenders who make drinks wrong. No communication within the team at all, food was given to another table and had to wait longer. read more

Came to celebrate my wife's 44th birthday ( her choice not mine ). My Steak was the wrong cut of meat and Iasked for mid-rare and got a well done steak. Not looking for high end, but I would like what I ordered. By the time they got me a refire my family was done eating. If this is the type if quality and service that I should expect at Applebee's, I will never go to any of them again. The second picture is the 2nd attempt to me me a Mid-rare ribeye. I hate this place. Enjoy my $98. Never again. read more

I will never make a delivery order from here anymore. I ordered the ribs and they were old and dry...$20.00 wasted and the coleslaw was not tasty at all. The fried were delicious and my grandsons chicken strips were good he said. Thank you but no thank you read more

We were in the area of Lancaster today. We went to have lunch and picked AppleBees. Our server was Jasmine. Great personality, friendly and made our lunch great. Callie the manager seated us and was great also. Food and atmosphere were perfect. read more

I wish I could give them no stars. I discourage anyone from going this whole experience too over 2 hours. Arrived at 7:40 pm didn't receive our food till after 8:30pm. Ordered drinks when we sat down and didn't receive those till 20 minutes later. We had ordered our food and drinks at the same time time. We asked our waiter 2 times how much longer for our 2 burgers and appetizer salads. He told us both times that he was going to check on our food. But returned to our table to bring the other people we were with drinks they waited 15 minutes for he did not tell us what was going on with our food or how much longer or anything. Another person at our table went to find the manager after 45 minutes of still not receiving our food by then our salads were coming out. When we brought it up to the manager she was nonchalant but did go and check on our food. She returned a few minutes later to tell us that "the way it was entered" into the computer was why it was taking so long but she checked on our order and it should be out in 3 minutes they were waiting for the burgers to not be pink. When our food finally came out the fries were cold and the burger wasn't even put together nicely it looked like they just tossed it on the plate. I finally decided to just take my burger home so I could warm it up and eat it at a decent temperature. We had to ask for the bill and waited at least another 15 minutes. It was not busy other tables that ordered after us received all of their food and drinks before us. After all of this the manager gave us a 10 dollar discount. Even after the waiter said the manager took care of our meal we only got a 10 dollar discount that is pathetic especially since our will was well over 100 dollars. As someone with experience working as a manager in a restaurant this is unacceptable. I understand they may have been hurt during the pandemic but the service here is unacceptable and we will not be returning. We have come to the Lancaster location at least a handful of times and have never had an experience as terrible as this. Even after brining my burger home and warming it up in the microwave my burger was still pink. read more

The place was practically empty but they took about 30 minutes to get us seated. The food was trash. We ordered 3 of the unlimited wings, 1 bbq rib tip's unlimited , 1 shrimp unlimited , a burger combo and 2 kids meals. The rib tips were burnt and only had sauce on one side literally smeared on. The wings were dry with no flavor. The fries were old not fresh and when we ordered seconds just to see if the food would be better they literally gave us 5 shrimps and about a small handful of fries. The service was ok. The food took about 45 minutes to be served but was still cold when we got it. My daughter ordered a mango smoothie and they took about 20 minutes to bring it to her. read more

NOPE. Never again. Don't come hungry. We were seated at the bar since seating was available right away. Biggest mistake. It took almost an hour for our order to be taken (including drinks). A table was seated behind us maybe 10 minutes after we had ordered and they were serviced right away for drink and food orders. Overall very disappointed. Staff walking around but refused to make eye contact. I get they're busy and short staffed but we were like forgotten about while everyone else was taken care of around the bar. Mozzarella sticks were okay. Ribs weren't the best. For the price I wouldn't be back either. Food is nothing to rave about. We should have went to the Habit. read more

Service was good. Ribs were undercooked and caused nausea and regurgitation. Would not recommend to others and the barfing affected my next day of work. read more

I would never recommend this place as a delivery for takeout. They skimp on the servings. But yet they charge you full price. Most of the time, this is my third time ordering a delivery in the past year and each time the order has been screwed up. But what absolutely made me put the review on is I ordered the avocado BLT and a salad I paid extra for the salad I paid four dollars for the salad the salad that was given to me was so incredibly small they should've only charged a dollar and that pissed me off that I literally pissed away four dollars on the smallest forget a side salad I have ever seen. For four dollars I could've gotten the family Cesar combo pack at the grocery store read more

I visited this location while visiting family. The energy and service at this Applebees is impeccable. Our server was Jazmine, she is absolutely an asset to the company. She served our table of 9 without any hiccups. Our food hot, delicious, and delivered to our table right on time! Jazmine made our out of town visit to see our parents feel like we were at home. Thank you Applebees and Jazmine for feeding my family so that we could focus on EACHOTHER! read more

Absolutely never going here again!!! They leave cheese and meat wrappers in your burger! I literally chocked and had to spit out my food! Please for the health of people, close this place down and fire everyone in there!!!!!!!btw it's not the first time this had happened. read more

I just left Applebee's a couple hours ago & I'm in the restroom fir the 3rd time sun e leaving. The service was good. I want you to know the waiter was nice, super speedy, & the hostess was quick as well. It was lunch time, not too busy to my untrained eye, & I still left a 22% tip because the service was not the problem. The problem is 100% the food. I ordered a prime rib dip sandwich with fries. Fries were decent. In no way was the sandwich prime rib. The meat was in chunks, dry to taste but squishy in texture There was a stack of cheese slices tossed on it. Not spread throughout the sandwich, whoever pieced this monstrosity together just tossed a stack of cheese in 2 spots. The au jus looked like dirty sink water with pieces of a different meat floating in it. I thought it still might taste better with it, & I was very wrong. So, very, wrong. My fiancée ordered a southwest chicken bowl. She's the type to finish a meal no matter how bad it is & not cause waves if at all possible. After a handful of bites she was absolutely finished. She wanted me to try it, & although most ppl will have a morbid curiosity of "just how bad is it" I would not try it knowing if it's at all like my sandwich. Our son had the corn dog & he was very happy with it. The side he wanted was strawberries & creme, & it came with one thinly sliced strawberry & a mountain of cream. One strawberry. One. We did order the appetizer combo thing, & that was actually pretty good compared to the other stuff. Mozzarella sticks were appropriately flavored & cheesy, mini chicken quesadilla was ok, Buffalo boneless wings were OK, & the chips were average. We ate off this plate more than anything. If not for the strong service & appetizer I would give one star. I did leave comments on the review thing. I did not talk to management for 2 reasons. 1- I don't want anyone to think I wanted anything for free. Even though I only ate 30% of a sandwich & there's almost a whole chicken bowl left I paid full price. 2- if they gave vouchers to apologize for the food then I would feel compelled to give it another shot & I think I prefer just not coming back. read more

Argued with the unprofessional manager because she did want to correct my happy hr price as she said " couldn't discounted alcohol as she would lose her job" but refuse acknowledge I wasn't asking for a discount I was asking for the correct price.

Great waiter, very courteous and accommodating. Kept checking to ensure we had everything and to refill our drinks.

We love Applebee's in general. Usually they have a business model that can't be beat but this place is hammering them into the basement. We arrived at around 8:50pm. Most of the customers were in the bar. No bartender visible. No hostess visible. No servers visible. We looked around and said "Hello?" Still no service staff visible. After about two minutes the bartender comes out of the back. A server appears and quickly disappears. No greeting from the bartender. She's holding her head down. She is clearly catching up. A server appears on the opposite side and disappears. A server joins the bartender. Everyone keeping their head down. We've been standing without greeting or acknowledgement for maybe five to seven minutes. My daughter tried to hail a server. No luck. At close to the ten minute mark, the hostess comes to seat us. I pleasantly ask if they'd had a birthday to celebrate in the break room. She answered "Oh, no. I was in the bathroom." I let her know there had been no staff on the floor, as above written. She says something pleasant and seats us and hands us menus. I figure that's the end of it. Our server takes our order and then says," I hear you had a problem when you first came in. I want you to know "blank" was in 25, and said she'd be right over." We said we had neither seen nor heard her. She insisted the phantom server had been there. Ok. We order the appetizers and drinks. The apps were ok, not the usual great. I sent my dinner riblets back to be warmed, as they were cold, under a warm sauce. They came back charred. I ate 30% of my meal and did not request any take-away. It's now the morning after and my daughter, who had the Mac and cheese and chicken tenders had been vomiting all night. Applebee's needs to do something about this place. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. We were here for a total of 2.5 hours99% of that was wait time, then we get our bill and it's $15 more than what it should have been. Turned out they charged us for something g we didn't even buy but they brough to our tabel and we TURNED IT AWAY, and proceeded to tell us that someone had to pay for it even though we didn't order it. Horrible customer service. read more

Today 4:30 pm we got there,and the waiter did not toll us to have a seat, said we gave to wait 15 to 20 minutes ,because need to wash dirty utensils, I was shocked, it was only 10 people inside dining, we did no wait.Very bad service never again..... read more

Service was quite slow but the staff is super friendly the food is not nearly as good as I remember. I would not come here again. It seems like management needs to figure some stuff out they are very short staffed and claim they are not hiring. I am concerned for the workers management was yelling at one of them in the middle of rush-hour. I do not recommend for anyone wanting good food. read more

This used to be our go to! The food was eh, drinks were eh, and the happy hour selections were eh. Definitely would NOT be going again.

On Mother's day my son went on and order for and paid for it at that time. Was told a 30 minute wait no problem. The problem began when he returned to pick up the food. The waitress and I use that term loosely was very rude and accused him of not paying for the food. She didn't ask to see the receipt just started talking under her breath. We have supported this restaurant through out the pandemic, so why would we skip out on payment now??? read more
