After bowling we came in just to grab something to eat! Parking was easy and we were seated quickly! Our server was nice and explained the menu and told us any specials that was going on! We ordered the trio platter and shared it! It came out hot and fast in like 10 mins! It was quiet and loved it we were able to just talk and enjoy the moment! Will come back when in town! read more

Dined there on Christmas Day- it was one of the few places open on the holiday. But it was not crowded. They had a special limited menu headlined by a "turkey dinner" at 16.99. My guest ordered it. It featured three little rolls of what looked like thinly sliced turkey from the deli, an ice cream scoop of dressing and another of mashed potato. There were also some rather stringy green beans. Overall, it resembled a holiday meal at Boot Camp. A slice of pumpkin pie was included with the turkey dinner I had the fish and chips which was good, but probably frozen, despite being billed as "hand breaded". The staff seemed a little confused and made a bit of a scene as the host and a server argued over how to arrange two tables for a party of 5. There were a few too many TV sets for my taste. The hot tea was cold and the coffee was somewhat warm. The manager offered to reheat the tea in the microwave. read more

I was at Applebees on my birthday January 20th with my sister whose birthday is January 19. She is 10 years younger than me. Anyway we ordered our meals and we were all happy with our entrees. We were given a birthday dessert that was tasty. The restaurant was not very busy which is when I like to dine out. I liked the football games on the tv. Haven't been to Applebees since the one on Forest Road was closed. I enjoyed myself. I'll be back! read more

great menus great services. Tigest is great customer services too. I return to this location many times.

Had the wonderful opportunity of eating at applebees this evening. i was greeted by a nice and friendly server Malik. He was prompt and attentive! 10/10 service. read more

This is a great Applebee's location. I love that they now carry impossible burgers (make it a cheeseburger!), and you can get broccoli as your side instead of fries. I wish that wasn't a big deal, but it is! I also appreciate the very obvious labeling of the impossible burger because sometimes those things taste pretty realistic. The service at this location has always been friendly and efficient. I have no complaints! read more

The service was really bad since we dat here for about a hour and our appetizer hasn't came out server was nice but the food coming out late was really horrid read more

I hadn't been to Applebee's in the longest time. We went here on a late Saturday night when visiting Lynchburg when almost everything else was closed lol. But it was a great time! The restaurant was packed, good atmosphere, good food. I really enjoyed the Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders and the blue cocktail. Food came out quickly for how busy they were. Would definitely visit again! read more

A year and a half or so after my original visit to this location, I ate here again. It was date night so I got some food here with the lady. The second time around I am more impressed and my perception of Applebee's in general has improved. I ordered Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo, which she ordered also it came out hot and the chicken was very well seasoned before cut across the pasta, broccoli and Alfredo. The broccoli was fresh had a little crunch and pasta soft and everything was tasty. Meal gets a 3 and 1/2 out of 5 The only thing I did not approve of as far as food was the breadstick that came with it. It was not well seasoned, a little stale, hard and tasted as if it had been cooked up with fish perhaps. The breadsticks definitely don't come close to those of a popular Italian sit down restaurant. Service is very friendly! We came on a Sunday evening after dinner and it was not too crowded. We were greeted and seated immediately. Despite the slow night, service and being waited on seemed slightly slow(just slightly!) but they did a great job. This is 2023 and I greatly understand the problems of the labor market and I was sure to leave a well deserved and generous tip. Restaurant is an older location but has been updated. My original visit I felt like it was a bit dated but they've really spruced it up and it isn't really dark, depressing and they have a plethora of TV's around if you want to watch a game too. Will I be back?... ABSOLUTELY! I'd like to keep giving them business and would recommend you to eat there. This Applebee's has come a long way. Check it out! read more

Food is decent. I have been there on several occasions, but only to take out. But I like the fact that is on a mountain side, giving you a nice view of some parts of Lynchburg, VA. read more

I'm not from the area and this is some of the best service I've ever had. Waitress was extremely friendly and made great conversation. Shoutout Melissa!! The food was about as expected (3/5). However service truly made me appreciate choosing Applebees over other options in the area. Maybe it's cause I'm from up North, but you just don't meet friendly people like this much anymore! read more

My kids, granddaughters and I went there this evening. The manager Andy was our waiter. Excellent service and food.

I can't say enough good things about the service, food, and environment at this Applebee's on Sunday afternoons! Every time we go here after church, everything is great! read more

Two recent visits to Applebee's. First visit I had the fish & chips. The French fries were seasoned & tasted great. However, my fish was over cooked based on what it looked like appearance wise. I still wanted to give them another chance. 2nd time I ordered fish & chips. Again, the fries tasted great. However, this time the fish was undercooked. Outward appearances were deceitful. When I got to the middle of the fish, it appeared to be semi cooked in two of the fish pieces as if the fish pieces were frozen & not cooked all the way. Very disappointing. read more

Applebee's has lost a customer from the last two visits. I realize restaurants are having staff changes but the quality of the food is not worth the calories. The food was less than satisfactory. The location is convenient but there are so many other restaurants to choose from to return to this one. Kudos to our server Devon. He was very attentive and personable, deeming the two stars! read more

Our server, Robin, was horrible. She was rude and dismissive. It became worse after we complained to the manager about the cold food and poor service. I now see why this location is always empty. The manager was kind enough to cut our tab in half. From the the conversations overheard in the restaurant, no one else was happy either. read more

Last night, my husband wanted to take me on a date to Applebee's. They had drink specials and a couple other specials. We got there around 7:30, and we were told to wait 15 minutes so we waited. There was no one in front of us waiting. The manager then pulled the host because they didn't properly staff, so no one was up front to greet anyone. A man walked in and sat himself at a table around 7:50. He was given a beer and a menu by the manager. My husband then asked the host to speak to said manager. The manager told the host to tell us that we had to wait so my husband went to the manager and told him what happened. The manager said that it isn't his fault and we had to just sit and wait. He said the host s supposed to tell us 30 minutes. We had no problem waiting, the problem came in when someone came behind us and was served and the manager, named Andy, didn't do anything to help us or show any remorse. Terrible customer service. Terrible manager. If I could give zero stars I would. My advice, if you want to eat here, just walk in and sit yourself. They don't care about what's right. read more

I tried the Zesty Chicken Sandwich, which is crispy chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and pickles with wing sauce and ranch dressing. I also got a side salad. Both were really good and service was excellent. I only had one complaint. The glasses from the bar were dirty! We sent two different draft beers back due to the strange taste. Finally asked for one in a bottle and it came with an empty glass to pour it in and you didn't even have to hold the glass up to the light to see how nasty it was and the soap residue. I would give this place a higher rating if it wasn't for that. read more

Very friendly and accommodating service staff. Food was brought out quickly and everything was cooked exactly to order. Shaun was our waiter and he was fantastic. Very helpful, offering recommendations and never letting us run out of sodas. Best Applebee's I've been to in years! read more

While visiting the area, I had lunch here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Our waitresses Morgan is excellent, she was extremely efficient and attentive to our needs. After ordering, we did not wait long for our lunch to arrive. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Oriental Chicken Salad. read more

.Had lunch today at Appleebee's, Candlers Mountain, Lynchburg, Va today. Chase the bartender/waiter was super extraordinary. I spent over 35 years in the industry (over 14 of that at Applebee's) and can say as a manager I wish I had 100 Chase's on staff, heck even 20 would have been great! Kudo's to Applebee's on a great hire and to Chase for being real and going over and beyond any of my expectations! read more

First of all Applebees is the McDonalds of casual dining. Everything they offer is frozen or pre-packaged. This particular location seems to be run by rif raf. I ordered the chicken penne pasta and asked for a simple substitution of shrimp for the chicken it normally comes with. Waitress told me it would be no problem. 30 min everyone's food comes accept for mine. She tells me that she couldn't substitute the meats and asked me what else I would like to order. I immediately spoke to the manager and told him that because of her incompetence I was now watching the rest of my party eat. He comped my meal and I swore to never eat there again. read more

It's Applebee's. If you wanted something good you wouldn't be looking at this review. Sirloin is a horrible cut of meat that should only be used to make cube steak. They serve it either way overdone or raw, your choice. All pasta and rice is soggy, and tastes like it is fresh out of the microwave. The beer is cold, yay! If you are actually reading reviews for Applebee's I'm sure you will like the place. read more

This Applebees is terrible. Ribs way overcooked. Meat doesn't come off the bone so you barely get any. The Long Island Ice Teas are a joke. No evidence of any alcohol in them. We will not be back. read more

Lunchtime visit to this location. Server was polite and prompt in service. Ordered the three cheese chicken penne pasta, which was presented in an ugly green bowl. The food was tasty though. Also had a very delicious chocolate mousse dessert. read more

I love Applebee's, but this location has let me down. The food is always great except today. Mine at least. I ordered Steak medium rare... it was over cooked. I also ordered coffee, but it was awful. I was surprised because again this place is usually on point. The customer service aspect of the visit was ok, I just feel that the waitress needs to be more attentive. I didn't even bothered to check the reviews on this location because again this place has never let down before. It is downright sad. Won't be coming back again. read more

How Applebee's food is supposed to taste! Our meal tonight was hot, fresh and it tasted great! Our server was awesome!

I ordered takeout here at Applebee's and it was simply amazing the brisket quesadilla was awesome I would most defiantly recommend this Applebee's great staff just great and awesome read more

Our experience here was just ok. The waitress was polite and helpful and the wing appetizer was yummy. Our entrees though left a little to be desired. I had the pasta with chicken tenders and it was drowned in the sauce, so much so that it was all I could taste. My husband's ribs were tasty but barely had any meat on it and my daughter's pizza was burnt. The dessert was ok but just like any other chocolate lava cake from almost any chain restaurant. If not for the great service from our waitress, I would have rated them only two stars. read more

Please..... get rid of the Brioche Hamburger Buns! They taste fine but they are too small for an 8 oz burger and they fall apart and get soggy long before you can finish the burger. End up having to cut the burger in half or even quarters in order to keep it and the toppings somewhat together. Often have to finish the burger with a knife and fork (that ain't right). Go back to big good quality regular hamburger buns and you will win the burger wars with the other chains! Big juicy American are not made for Brioche Buns! read more

Stop by for a late night appetizer, while attending Wildfire Weekend, waiter was great! The pretzel, wings and steak quesadillas was delicious! read more

We were seated and as soon as we sat down we noticed the table was super sticky, so we didn't touch the table at all during our visit. We then got our food, but still had no silverware. Five minutes later a waitress passed our way, and we were given silverware. On top of that, my husband ordered regular fries, but got sweet potato fries...ended up getting the regular ones, once he finished his main entree. I ordered the three cheese penne and the noodles were half cooked. I wouldn't ever go back to this Applebee's, and don't suggest you go either. read more

Went in expecting very little and had a good time. I had an ok salad for the price and pretty tasty burger considering I hadn't eaten all day. There was a pretty cute little game thing for 99 cents and my family and I enjoyed toying around with it. Overall, an appropriate evening, I left with my tummy full. read more

Very clean, and friendly Applebees. This resturant is a good example of how the resturant should be from this chain. The food is exactly as you expect it to be. Service was very quick for the lunch hour. read more

We both had burgers and they were good, cooked to order so no complaints. This Applebees is getting long in the tooth furniture wise. The booth for two we sat in was very tight and extremely uncomfortable. The booth seats were very worn with a noticeable dip in the center that hurt our backs terribly. Could't wait to finish and get up and out. read more

The new fired grilled menu is great. Love the sirloin...I don't use steak sauces and didn't even need to add salt and pepper. The fire grilled vegetables are soo good! A summer favorite. The management and staff have been so nice and accommodating. read more

It's Applebee's. I didn't expect much. I wasn't let down. When asked how I'd like my burger cooked, I was offered the options of "pink or no pink" (and it says that on the menu too). So, after giggling about this to myself, I decided to order a burger with pink. I'm still laughing about this as I write the review. My girlfriend ordered her burger without pink. The orders came out, and when I bit into my burger, it was over cooked and completely lacked the pink that I was promised. I guess they gave my girlfriend my burger because hers was not a barely edible piece of rubber. The sweet potato fries were good though. Management kinda creeped us out with the over the top phony customer service shindig paired with the unrelenting awkward gaze that was fixated on our friend. PS, the sweet tea is mediocre, go with an overpriced cocktail or carbonated beverage instead. read more

Slow service even with 6 waiter/waitress standing around. Manager can't keep her nose out of her phone. Bathrooms filthy. Toilets not flushed. Pee on floor kills the appetite. And not busy. Wonder why? read more

I'd rather eat out of a dumpster ... I had to use half my strength to pull apart the ribs
