As with any Applebee's, you'll have best results if you know the specials ahead of time and plan. For example, they regularly have rotating drink specials for several weeks at a time ("Dollarita" etc). Happy hour is 3-6pm with half off select apps. Same thing late night (usually after nine). I'm pretty sure. Google it to be safe. Today I got cheerful prompt service from the bartender Chloe at 4:15pm. No crowds. Typically any Applebee's I go to has pleasantly cheerful service. Similar here. I'll return. read more

Great service. love the french onion soup. Quick arrival of food. Love the burgers and salads

My friend and I visited Applebee's on South Cedar in Lansing today. We went there for the all you can eat Ribs,Shrimp and Chicken. The ribs were good now the chicken fingers and shrimp not so good. Probably wouldn't go back there and can't recommend. As far as are waitress is concerned she wasn't? read more

This place was dirty, the service was terrible, the food was OK at best, overall this place sucks.

Applebee's on Cedar St. today I ordered the grilled chicken dinner. The chicken was so dry I couldn't swallow it without flushing it down with coffee. The garlic potatoes and broccoli were delicious. Disappointed that they no longer have a lunch menu. Service was excellent! I usually enjoy Applebee's. read more

We sat down and waited a full half hour for our pop orders. No one came back for over a half hour. We never even got our soda. Don't go here. read more

I actually give 3.5 stars... This Applebee's was above average due to its good servers and upbeat atmosphere. We came here for my mothers birthday supper in May '13. Our group had steaks, burger, Caesar Salad and of that those who had steak were actually pretty impressed with how good they were especially for the affordable prices. My burger was rather average as was the Caesar salad. Our appetizers were deep fried green beans, pretzel sticks and also artichoke dip... All were very good. One unique thing at Applebee's is their exotic drink selection... Fun choices priced fair and on a hot Spring evening they were fun to drink. I actually think we would enjoy going back! read more

Posted closing time is midnight, doors locked before 11:15pm. After working second shift, this is the only non fast-food place open in the area. I would have been out in less than 30 minutes. read more

Ordered the bourbon street chicken and shrimp and was extremely disappointed by how blah it was. I would not order it again. However, super friendly service!! They did add mini sub charges to the bill, and I had to ask twice to get it fixed. Once they realized it still wasn't fixed on the second time they compensated the meal, which was great! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp - Sports Bars Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

asked for a 6oz. medium rare serloin, expecting to get it in roughly 10 minutes. ended up taking well over 30 minutes to get my steak on the table, just for it to be medium/well done. then asked for it to be recooked, for it to take ANOTHER 25 minutes, for it be brown again. had my friend taste it and he spit it out. very bad service and food. waitress also took forever to get to our table multiple times. read more

The host max was far from helpful actually walked past us while we were waiting to be seated. Then let us stand there for a good 5 min while doing absolutely nothing but what looked like coloring a paper then he turned around to the ask us if we had been helped as if he didn't see us come in in the first place! Horrible service From the beginning of our business however the waitress Jane was awesome and was willing to help us within two seconds of sitting down! She came back and checked on us from the beginning to end! Appreciated the effort she gave to make sure we were good! She is the only reason I have this post 3 stars read more

This apple bees isn't being ran properly at all. The staff here have looks on their faces like they DO NOT WANNA BE HERE. My shark drink cane out melted, the shark candy was at the bottom of the bowl so I already knew that wasn't correct bc in the picture it sat on top, my food was dry and disgusting. I WILL NEVER COME BACK read more

Good food, good atmosphere, and better people.Britton is the best waiter and is by far the most kind and happy employee at this Applebee's! This was a busy day ( st. Patrick's day) and they sat us right down and we're very accommodating! This was a great meal at a great restaurant! -Joy read more

I am very disappointed in the quality of the food. It wasn't worth the 67.99 charged. Plus they wouldn't honor a $55 gift certificate from the Southside of Lansing location. That was given to me due to a bad order from the South side due to low staffing. Plus, finding out that thir food is cooked bland from frozen, not fresh nor homemade. Hade to ask 5 times for napkins and silverware. Our server was too busy trying to hook up with the young women at the table across from us. My name is Enjoli Marks loyal custom turned away. I should be refunded for that poor food and service! read more

if it had zero I would put that! I used to work at this location years ago. it's so sad to see how downhill it has gone. We were greeted with a mean face and our waiter clearly had more important things to be doing because he had zero urgency to do.... anything. he didn't even write our order down and forgot my meal. We were brought visibly dirty plates and when I asked nicely if we could get clean plates he said it was probably just from the dishwasher and took them away annoyed and then never brought us plates. so we sat. and sat, he watches us from the bar waiting until I finally just asked for the bill. which he brought to me with the pretzels we never got. I have NEVER in my life not left a tip until today. I'm honestly surprised this pace is still open. I do want to add the (what seemed to be the manager) was doing most of the work, running food and super friendly. Just REALLY shocked at how poorly this visit went. and our last read more

They've stepped their game up! Applebees now has more health conscious and low calorie options. They had a wide variety of small plates and other additions. The entrées are not just photos, the meals look and taste exactly how you'd imagine them. The lunch combos and other combo options are great for those who want variety, low calorie or variation in nutrient content. I've been at least 3 times in the last 2 months and Applebees is my new go to place, again. Their shrimp are big, and tasty not salty or chewy. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the hearty sandwiches are more than I thought I could taste in a sandwich. read more

The only reason I went here is because someone gave me a gift card. I'm not a fan of Applebee's at all. I rather eat mcdonalds and today's meal, I wish I just went to mcdonalds. I pick the trio platter. I picked the brew pub pretzels, the buffalo wings, and the steak quesadillas. The buffalo wings were beyond bland. there was absolutely no sauce. the only reason knew that they were buffalo wings is because that's what I ordered. I tried the steak quesadillas. Yuck!! It's not steak. It tasted like some type of cheap meat. it was chunks of beef that had no grilled flavor. I love pretzels! I love going and getting a nice soft pretzel but this thing was so salty. it came with beer cheese. Yuck no flavor. I didn't even finish the meal. Applebee's doesn't even deserve 1 star. read more

Ok, so i am furious. I call 25-30 minutes ago to make sure my steak I ordered for delivery had A1 sauce. I gave my last name and the girl said no problem. Fast forward to getting my delivery. No A1 sauce and no dressing on my salad...turns out my order came from a different applebees. Ok my fault for dialing the wrong location...but her waitress took my last name and said no problem. So we she just humoring me since no such order existed?!?! Then when the manager got on, she lied to me and said that my order had already gone and they were unable to include the A1 sauce...on the order that they never had. Once we finally figured out That ai called thr wrong number, there was nothing I can do because I had been dealing with the wrong Appleebees the entire time, but they never once checked the information I was giving them to confirm that there even was an order. Re-god-damn-diculous. read more

While the food is very good for a chain, the waitstaff is more interested in each other than waiting on a table.

No thank you! I went with my grandma and cousins for lunch on a weekend. First please seat anyone over 80 at an actual table and not a booth... Do you know how hard it is for the elderly to get around? Having to slide into a booth doesn't go so well. The service was just okay... Nothing to rave about, she was a bit slow on getting drinks refilled. The kitchen was incredibly slow. It definitely took way too long to receive our simple lunch items. The food was just ok... No real great flavors or quality ingredients. Granny liked it, but she likes the boring stuff. Not my first choice at all. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and although we don't frequent chain restaurants we were glad we did! We were greeted with friendliness, smiles and efficiency. The restaurant was totally compliant. There is always a huge choice at Applebee's but this one was different because of the people. The food was delicious (apps, salad, main entree) and everything was delivered to our table in a timely manner. There was an environment of friendliness, efficiency and hard workers who seemed happy to be there - it was all very organized. We had a delicious and relaxing meal in a very warm and positive setting. read more

I live in lansing and eat out quite a bit, and I LOVE coming to this Applebees! I always seem to go when its really busy and still the customer service is excellent. The thing I think I actually like best is the fact that there are gentleman standing at the door holding it open for you when you arrive, and when you leave! FANTASTIC! Well done Applebees. read more

Asparagus was way over cooked and chewy. My medium rare sirloin was hard to cut and over saturated with a pico/lemon dressing. The cooks need to go back to basic cooking 101. The waitress I had was good and knowledgeable! read more

This update is for carside service only. Pros - online ordering is easy. Valante provided friendly service. Cons - Pick-up was scheduled for 5:13. I arrived at 5:14. Received the meal at 5:21. The online ordering did not allow me to select cocktail sauce as a side for fried shrimp. The only sauce option was tartar sauce. However, Valante gladly went back inside to get me a cup of cocktail sauce. The french fries and shrimp portions were generous. The coleslaw was missing. Finally, the drink was 2 inches short. I attribute this to foam. The online ordering system needs to be revamped so alternatives can be chosen. There was no place to type in notes, like "replace tartar sauce with cocktail sauce." And I was unable to request it be ready at a specific time. Could only select "ASAP-15 minutes from now." read more

The cook isn't capable of cooking a steak medium-rare, my steak came back rare 2 times and the manager was no help.

Ok, so I'm eating lunch alone. I get up to go to the bathroom and I guess they thought I left because when I came back, the table was bare. All my food, my beautiful delicious food WAS GONE!! They thought I left mid meal! The waitress Jazz was so sweet though! They comped my whole bill and MADE ME NEW BEAUTIFUL DELICIOUS FOOD to take home! How awesome is that?!?! read more

I went in yesterday with a friend and we both got sick after eating there. Management said because we could not prove it by medically testing the food we ate that night, that they were not at fault. Will never eat there again. Eat at your own risk. read more

Jenn, the manager, is sooo rude and stupid. The waitress refused to accept my license and brings over my Mom's alcoholic beverage. Fine! Jenn comes over and incorrectly takes my Mom's full drink because of MY license issue then gets mad because she won't pay for a beverage that she DIDN'T DRINK. What?! I've NEVER experienced that level of incompetence!! She was sarcastic and snarky when she was in the wrong. There's nothing that she can do? If Jenn "with 2 ns" is working, feel free to run out of there. read more

1 of the 3 worst dining experiences in my life! Victoria the server really needs a new job, anything that does not require performing a service of any kind. Can she correctly take a food order? NO. Does she return to check on you and perhaps ask hey is your food alright or would you like a single refill of that 2.89 Pepsi? NO. In fact we didn't see her until she wanted our money. Did she get a tip? NO! Asked to speak to a manager since we couldn't eat our food considering it was wrong and included ingredients we specifically asked be left off. Did a manager ever arrive? NO! So in conclusion will we ever return? NO! read more

This location is not good, we ordered the classic dip trio and the waitress didn't even know what the dips were. When they came the salsa had leftover soggy chips in it like it was reused. And the queso was not melted and luke warm. Service was very bad. read more

East Lansing, Michigan 169 Pending review Dinner with Gift Card My wife and I stopped for dinner at Applebee's on West Saginaw, Lansing on our way back home. My wife ordered a chicken with Shrimp entree and I ordered a similar meal. My wife's chicken came out about 70% cooked so we sent it back, mine was fine. We wanted to use a $25.00 gift card to pay part of our meal. The Applebee's system was down. Our waiter told us they were having problems all day getting gift cards authorized. Waiter tried it again and same problem. I ended up paying for the whole bill. The Manager never came to our table to help with this problem. Waiter said we can use the gift card next time. Really, how about you keeping the gift card and run it later. Make it convienent for your customers. When we got home, I called the gift card 800# to verify amount and yep, it is worth $25.00. Same thing their manager could have done and applied it to our bill a a later time. So I have spect $65.00 for a $40.00 meal. I could give a 3+ for the meal, 4 star for service and 1 star for problem we had with gift card. read more

I requested a delivery time of 135. I received a call at 115 saying they were here. My lunch didn't start until 130. Boo. I ordered soup. No spoon. My final disappointment was my fries were in a fry bag set inside another (open)bag. If they're going to deliver they should come up with a way of at least trying to keep food warm. All in all it was a poor experience for $25+tip. Never again. read more

I've been coming to apples for years this is currently my favorite location. Great service and very friendly. My server took the time to check on me and made sure my party was taken care of. On top of that the food was great. Everything came out super quick. But the food was still nice and hot. We loved the half off apps. The boneless wings are my favorite! Let's not forget the $5 mucho drinks they have on special, plus you get a nice buzz. I'd definitely recommend this location on the Westside of Lansing! Always satisfied.
