Only reason I'm giving it a 1 star is cause you can't do 0. I have never had this bad if service ever! We have been here for 2 and a half hours and we are just getting our food!!! Took 20 minutes for a drink and no refills! Never coming here again! Oh and the food came out cold and looked like it had been under the heat lamp for an hour. read more

Wow this will be the last time coming to this one. Took forever to get the food, drink were empty and they just looked at them until we asked for a refill. Reay bad service! read more

Great customer services great and so is the food! The staff is very attentive. Nice atmosphere with good lighting and diverse music. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Macon, Georgia

With barely anyone in the restaurant it took us about 15 minutes to be asked for our drink orders alone and even then it took more then 10 minutes after to get our drinks. The servers were sitting and playing on there phone and just didn't seem to want to work or be there. 0 out of 10. Would not recommend. read more

I love Applebee's, I go way too often! I'm from Tampa Florida came up to visit family. This Applebee's has to be the best one I've ever been to. Super clean, order was perfect, food was delicious. Came around 2pm on a Sunday not too busy at the time but definitely enjoyed my visit. read more

I haven't been to this particular Applebee's before, so me and my girlfriend decided to stop by to try it out before a movie. At first glance, the place looked really cool, and the new style bar area was very inviting. We ordered one of their 2 for $20 deals which came with an appetizer and 2 entrees. The issue I have with this experience are these things: the waitress brought out our appetizers first followed immediately my entree. Nothing to eat with. No silverware. Asked for that so we could eat. Took 10 min to get that. We just stared at the boneless wings until we finally got that. My gfs burger still hasn't arrived, so we munched on the appetizer. After a few more min, her burger came, and it was the wrong side order as well as a hamburger that was bleeding all over her plate into her fries she didn't order. We told our waitress about the multiple issues, and she took the plate back. I finished all of my food and sat to wait on her food to arrive. It still took another 20 min or so before she got her food and STILL never not one time an apology for the issues with this meal. It's the least someone could do to be honest. The food issue wasn't as bad as the rudeness of not acknowledging the issues we had with an apology. We don't ask for much, but that's just human nature to us. Don't be ignorant. May come back, may not... read more

This was the second time I attempted to have dinner here. Each time the weather turned bad. I actually told my son maybe something was trying to keep me from going here. I wish I had listened. Sat for quite a few minutes before waitress came by. Hubby actually went for a smoke break. Ordered drinks and appetizers. No water, no bread, no nothing for a good 5 minutes. Order meal when drinks came. Soups and entrees made it to the table before our appetizers. Hubby found what appeared to be styrofoam in his potatoes. Won't revisit this location. read more

Horrible service.. unhygienic place.. would think before visiting water a glass of water takes 20 minutes to come pathetic service... n cold food.. The server took way too long to get a glass of water or a bottle of beer.. the management needs to work on the skills read more

We got there around 11:40 and there only two other customers when we arrived. It took 5-6 minutes before our server came to the table to get our drink and appetizer order. We ordered a combo appetizer and it took another 25 minutes before that was delivered. In that time she did not check back in with us to refill our tea or take our meal order. We ordered our meals when she finally brought out our appetizer. She was SO slow it seemed deliberate and acted totally disinterested in taking care of us. We saw her just hanging out at the bar chatting the whole time we were waiting for her to come and take our order. Once we got the appetizer the wings were NOT WINGS, but some old cubed up chicken tossed in honey bar b que sauce . The spinach dip was barely warm. There were probably 3 other tables that arrived after us that got their meals before we did. When our food finally got there it was wrong. My son had ordered mac-n-cheese with apple sauce and she brought out mac n cheese with french fries. The mac n cheese was straight out of a box, it was disgusting. My Thai shrimp salad was delicious however, we were all so grossed out by the chicken chunk wings, we totally lost our appetites and wasted our time and money. We took everything but the mac n cheese home in a to go box. read more

This place is open on Saturday until 1:00 am... BECAUSE IT TAKES 2 HOURS TO GET FOOD! The waitress was as very friendly, but equally slow. I gave it two stars because the food was decent, but I definitely won't be back. read more

This place smells terrible. The service is poor. The food is mediocre and some of the drink specials are very bad. It looks like poor management and poor selection of employees to me. Do not go here if you're expecting more than a dumpster fire for dinner. read more

Came here after the movies and the service was so bad we just decided to leave. The server came to take our drink order and literally disappeared on us. Would not recommend this place unless you have 2-3 hours of wait time on your hands! read more

Restaurant had flies all over our table my family and I spent the majority of the time trying to get rid of them. We were offered to be moved after waiting a long time for our food. A very unpleasant experience. read more

I returned to this location last night. The service left a lot to be desired. They are severely understaffed for peak times. The servers and welcomers are extremely nice, but they can only do so much at one time. Nonetheless, the food wasn't that good this go around. Everything took a long time to come out and when we finally did get our orders it felt rushed. Unless you can go during a bone peak time, I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. read more

Our meals were really good. I had the grilled salmon and vegetables while my son had an 8 oz sirloin and almost licked the plate. I have eaten here before but today was really great. Service was great too. read more

Average Applebee's experience with more friendly staff. We showed up around 6pm and were seated at a hi-top immediately Trivia games are $2 if you touch the tablet. read more

Our server was extremely rude. When greeting our table she said hello and then snarkily asked, "You know what you want to eat?" When we said no and asked for a few minutes she huffed and and stomped off. She then came back a couple more times and repeated the same process. When she brought our drinks she slammed them on the table and almost spilled the one. Also, the drink she almost spilled had liquid already streaming down the sides because it was way overfilled. While waiting for our food our server sat at the table behind us eating and staring. When our entrees arrived we were given one set of regular silverware and two plastic ones, because and I quote, "I got you these so you can get out of here quicker." She then went back to sit behind our table and eat. When she was done eating she came to our table and stated she was gonna get our ticket so we could get out of there, even though we never asked for our check nor were we asked if we wanted dessert or anything else. The instant it looked like we were done eating she was back at our table wanting payment and stating we needed to stack our plates for her. When one of my companions told our server how rude she was being and about her horrible service she cocked her hip out with one arm on it and giggled at him the whole time. He asked her to leave the table several times while we filled out the check she continued to hover and lean over me making me uncomfortable. She was also staring and giggling at my other table companion because she was having difficulty getting her card out of her wallet due to her left hand not having full functionality from a recent stroke. We gave her the signed check and she left momentarily and then she came right back while we're were getting up to leave and was grabbing stuff off of the table. I have never felt so rushed at a restaurant in my entire life. I found the service to be beyond reprehensible and at the very least I feel our server should be written up. I understand that times are tough, however, having worked in customer service and as a server myself, you need to treat your customers with respect and dignity. My friend was made to feel embarrassed about something that she has no control over. I have always liked Applebee's but I don't know that I will ever be coming back. read more

Nasty inside. Poor service. Waitstaff had an awful attitude. Shrimp in the Thai salad was like rubber bands. Husbands fish was like jello. Baked potato was rock hard and burger was raw. You would do better dumpster diving for a meal! Don't waist your $$$. read more

Service is lousy.. We ate at the bar thinking that we would have good service and we were proven wrong..

The food was decent but definitely not great. The service not so good. Coffee was cold and waitress said she would be right back with more coffee and never brought more until we were leaving. Bathroom had a hazard on the changing table. A portion of it was hanging off that could be potentially dangerous. read more

Ok - I should have known better. It's Applebee's. Went with a group of 8 on a Sunday after church. Would not have been my choice considering that I know it's a sub-par (way sub-par) establishment, however it was the groups decision so I begrudgingly went along. Arrived at appx 12:45 and was seated with the group. Drinks, appetizers etc - no problem. Then the entrees. We all ordered straight from the menu, nothing special. 45 min later diners 1-6 of our group were finally served by the clueless food runners. Our server was nowhere to be seen as is the case in most locations these days whereas the one who TAKES your order, for some cosmic reason, cannot be the one who BRINGS your order. Diners 7&8 (I'm #8) aren't served and are forgotten. Nothing. So, we wait. And wait. At the 55 min mark diner #7 gets his. Nothing for me. I had ordered a chicken Parmesan. The server then told me that they were "waiting on the noodles to cook". At the 1:05 point I lost all faith that I was going to receive ANYTHING from the kitchen so I made my farewell to the group and left and went somewhere else. Never a response from anyone in management. No acknowledgements of ridiculous wait times for orders. They weren't full or overly busy at the time. Mostly angry at myself for agreeing to go this this notoriously god-awful place to begin with and having some ludicrous expectations that it would be anything short of deplorable. If you're reading this and considering going here, one word of advice: don't. There are too many other places nearby that appreciate customers and make an honest effort. The day is coming when these big chain restaurants like these who so often are a disgrace will no longer be able to maintain a presence with so many other quality alternatives doing it right. Thumbs down Applebee's. I should have known.... read more

I walked into the establishment for the first time because it was getting late and most restaurants were closing. When we entered, we were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and modern decor. Our waitress was amazing! The wait for the food is moderate. But when I received the food, for the price I was paying, I was sadly underwhelmed. I got the 6oz sirloin with macaroni. I asked to get it without bacon. I received the macaroni, and it had bacon in it even though I asked to have it without. She came back to tell me that the macaroni could not be without bacon AFTER I got the food. But all in all the food was good but the serving is underwhelming. Would not recommend. read more

I don't know if all the Applebees are like this now, but it was awful. The place is extremely loud. It had about 10 flat screen TVs going with different ballgames. The volume was turned loudly on all of them. The service was good, but the food was horrible. Mediocre bar food at best. Applebees used to have decent food. Have they done a corporate makeover or something? read more

Service was horrible food was okay. Took a long time to get our order in. The restaurant was about half full and servers just standing around. If you have a lot of time to waist this is the place. read more

Just keep on driving. Poorly managed, if a manager even exists. Our server was ok, but she only had so much to work with. Kitchen out of food, table guys not cleaning and setting tables, but watching the game on tv instead. Food that was available was pretty crappy. Servers back by bathroom register talking about punching people in their head? read more

I love this place. Real Atlanta look of a sports bar. We always sit at the bar, but the downside to sitting there is sometimes the waitstaff negativity. Bartenders are the best. read more

Terrible service!!!! Ordered drinks took 30 minutes to get them!!!! Do not recommend don't even ask about how long it took to get food

Applebee's in this area used to be run by an organization that managed 100's of stores in the southeast. They always had great service and good food. I'm not sure who is running them now, but this is embarrassing. Stopped by on a Monday at 6pm. Probably 20 ppl in the store. Was seated and then got drinks. Then it went down hill. The server was not present. Drinks remained empty, took forever to get our order, and food. Wow. Unless they were in the back breaking down live chickens for the boneless wing it should never have taken so long. After we got our wings and salads another 30 min goes by, no server no food. Finally server stops by and asks you " you don't have any food yet". Yeah we ate, cleaned our plates and then cleared the table because the self service here is the best. Finally got our food. Food was good when it finally arrived. I wont be back. Too many other options on this exit. Try Buffalo's down the block. Always good service and great food. Also never saw a manager. Whatever corporation is running both Applebees in Macon needs to read the reviews and clean house. Or just close both stores. It's embarrassing. read more

The food is good here and the place is nice and clean. They need to work on the service here. Twice I've been placed in dead sections where there seems to be no server assigned. The good thing is that a good server will find out that I need service and will come by, but it is so awkward to have to wait until someone figures it out. read more

Went here around time it first opened in summer/fall 2015. Bad service. Follow up with manager was promising, but didn't follow through on promise to email coupon for free dinner. Other options in the immediate area, so I'd give them a try before coming back here. read more

Decided to stop here with my mom recently for a quick dinner one Saturday evening. Should've known the experience was going to be bad after we waited almost 10 minutes to be seated when the restaurant wasn't even full... Right after we received our drinks, the fire alarm went off. No one seemed concerned or mentioned anything to us, and the alarm blared on and on and on. Our waitress never apologized and in fact was down right rude. She walked by and said "well it's just noise" when we contemplated just paying for the drinks and leaving. Well yeah, but I'm not spending money to sit in silence with my fingers plugged in my ears! A friend of mine was actually eating with his parents there at the same time, and he mentioned how his waiter apologized for the inconvenience profusely. Our food took forever to arrive and came out at different times. I had a question about my food when it arrived and I was met with another defensive and rude comment from the waiter. We also had to wait for silverware and when I asked for a to go box, I opened the box up only to find a hair in it. I'm usually very easy going at restaurants but haven't had a waiter be that blatantly rude in years. My mom and I were actually both shocked with her attitude and how we were treated. The food was lackluster and I can't believe we didn't even receive a coupon or a simple apology for the experience of sitting through the never ending alarm. The floor had trash all over as well, and a dirty table near us was never cleaned off. I will never return. read more

Came into Applebee's on Zebulon RD on Monday 2/15/16.@320-330 There were not many people in restaurant but there was a dirty table full of dishes directly across from me the entire time I was there 1.5 hours) Saw waitress ( Kimberly add trash to the table saw Hostess look at the table several times before partly removing some of the Dirty cups and plates. I ordered Double crunch bone in wings with a Caesar Salad. Wings came out but not Salad ( told waitress Jessica) who brought food out but was not person who took my order,( Kimberly took order) I'm missing salad. Salad never comes out I'm almost done with Wings Kimberly returns I tell her I ordered Salad she says let me go check. She comes back to tell me its ready... I tell her cancel it I'm done eating. Kimberly tells me they made Salad but it wasn't brought out. Im thinking how was I to eat if if if was never brought to my table. I again tell her I don't want it now we are about to leave.. Reluctantly she had it taken off my bill.. Terrible service again.... Will never go back. read more

See all

This place sucks. I've been here twice in the last 6 months the first time service and food was mediocre and the second time was terrible. We were sat immediately after walking in. Me and my husband sat there for nearly 10 minutes before someone stopped to ask what we wanted to drink meanwhile other tables near us seemed to have quick great service around us our server returned with the drink put them on the table and walked away before we could tell him we are ready to order. He didn't return to the table and I got up to let somebody know we are ready and he was just standing around the corner talking to some of the other waitstaff. Our food came out cold and after a table that sat down after us. He didn't return to the table until he collected the cash for the check. Sad service. Poor food. Go somewhere else. read more
