Upon arriving (Mothers Day Sunday) at 6:30pm I went to the restroom. Paper was all over the floor. There was no hand soap or paper towels to dry rinsed off hands. A server gave me about an inch of napkins to dry my hands. The mozzarella Sticks were served warm with cold marinara sauce. You got 8 for $9.99 Our server was not a Happy camper. He never smiled and stomped around miserable and complaining to everyone. There were two other individuals at the bar with us and they agreed with my comment. My husband's French onion soup was horrible. He could not even eat it. Food was coming out of the kitchen cold. His steak was tough and boxed up for dog. His potatoes were cold as were mine. Butter would not melt on them. The green beans were like rubber. I recommend going somewhere else to eat if you are looking to spend $60 for a meal. Do not order sweet tea...mine was sour. Most certainly would get rid of the young man who served us. He clearly is not to be around humans. I did leave him 20% of my check for a tip because he did bring boxes to pack up food for our dog. I also served food for over 30 years and did not have it in me to stiff a server no matter how terrible. Teamwork is seriously lacking here....food should never leave a kitchen cold. Rest assured I will not ever return to this Applebee's. read more

Food was good, service on the other hand genuinely one of the worst experiences I've ever had. They were not busy at all and we got there at 7:00 PM and didn't leave until 10:15 PM. The waitress and manager gave us attitude and refused to give us a discount on any of our food. So we gave them no tip. The worst experience I've ever had as a customer and will not be returning here!! 4/18/26 read more

Highly recommend another option unless you just love Applebee's. 45 minutes to get two entrées a couple that ordered after us got theirs well before us. Environment is fine, but Employees for the most part don't seem to care. Our waiter was kind and attentive but timing is unacceptable. read more

My wife ordered steak, I ordered the Neighborhood Burger. We waited for nearly 30 minutes for our food. Finally the waitress came and said they were waiting on the steak because it was frozen. Seriously, Friday night and you didn't have steaks out thawed and ready to cook. So after waiting nearly 45 minutes to get our food, the steak was fine, but obviously the burger had been cooked and sitting under a heat lamp the whole time. Bun was hard, and tasted terrible. They did comp the burger, which is why I gave two stars. But, the manager never came to explain or apologize. Just bad service all around. read more

I saw the ad for sizzle skillets and wanted to try it, but not worth the wait. Service was slow and almost nonexistent. I don't know if it poor management or what. The waitress were not standing around. They were serving and bussing table but no food was coming out. When the food did come out, the waitress forgot a knife and you couldn't cut steak without it (hard as a rock) when asked for a knife it took a good 5 minutes to get one. If you plan on going set aside a good 2 hrs or more. read more

It sucks, don't go. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Waitress said there would be a wait for a table. We waited 30mins and table was finally ready, but was told there would still be a wait to order food due to kitchen? What... We left read more

The food was not good. I am sorry to say. It took forever to get our food. It was so late the server offered free chips and dip but then our food came out. She didn't bring the chips and dip. The server tried her best but the kitchen sabotaged her efforts. I will not go back to this location. My dish was supposed to have the andouille sausage but it was served burnt and tasted like Kahn's hotdogs! Be warned! read more

First waited over a hour. Says order was ready, I go in to pick it up and waited 20 more minutes because "it wasn't quite finished yet" per one of the workers. Tried to vote 0 stars can't stand when they lie on when your order is ready. read more

This place is a disaster. Extremely slow service. Food was overpriced. To top things off, we spotted a roach crawling on the floor under our table. Never again. read more

We ordered carryout. 2 bacon cheeseburgers with fries. They couldn't find our order for 20 minutes after it was supposed to be ready. Food was cold and obviously old. Never again. read more

Terrible service, it took 20 minutes to get our drink order, 30 minutes to get our meal, (and no drink refills while waiting on food), 5 additional minutes to get our silverware. When the waiter brought the drinks he spilled some on the table and didn't clean it up so we used the cocktail napkins to clean it up ourselves. When the food finally arrived you could tell that it had been sitting for some time and the chicken strips were about the size of a finger (small). When we finally got the refills they brought unsweetened tea instead of sweet tea, twice so we drank unsweetened tea. The music was exceptionally loud making it difficult to have a conversation with the family. Overall a complete disappointment and we will spend our money at other restaurants in the future never again at Applebee's! read more

Was really busy when we ate there. And I'm a reasonable person. I expected a wait, okay, understandable. When my dish arrived (I always get the same thing) it was such poor quality, completely unappetizing. Over cooked, lack of sauce. The bacon bits were literally black. Next complaint, my youngest son was the last to get his food. Like, 10-15 minutes after the rest of our party. The waitress apologized, said they cooked the first one too long so they had to make him another. Not cool. Next, my mother was eating and bit into her chicken, thought there was a bone, but it was a SHARP piece of plastic!!! I mean, seriously...wth? When the waitress came, I wanted to relay our complaints but I was still feeling reasonable. Ya know, not every experience is going to be ideal. I said, It's not your fault but what's wrong in the kitchen today? She's like, Oh nothing! Then I'm like, well Here's the piece of plastic that my mother almost swallowed! And before I could make my other complaints she took the trash and said she would let them know in the back. Wait. I wasn't finished.... Manager comes out and apologizes, and they took $10 off for my moms meal. That's a good start anyways! But when my older son walked to the bathroom, he heard our waitress mocking me, repeating what I had asked about kitchen staff and what the problem was.... I GET that sometimes there are some very unreasonable and rude customers. It's probably easy to get defensive and pretend the customers are just ignorant. Make fun of them, like you did nothing wrong. But I wasn't even being a b----, you know? But I was after that! Terrible food, even dangerous dining!- and when I have the NERVE to speak up about it, you make fun of me for it???? I don't understand that. Extremely rude...you, not me! Own up to doing a crappy job. Take some accountability. I'm sure they'll still get a fair share of business, so yah, I won't let the door hit me on the ass on the way out, and after today that won't be a worry for me or them. Won't be back! read more

the food was absolutely mid wait time was an hour and a half our waiter was slurring her words might have been drunk the wings we got were like biting into leather read more

Ordered DoorDash while in town for work. Received my order at my hotel with no silverware to eat my salad or sides with. The ribs were the toughest ribs I've ever eaten. My teeth literally hurt after ripping them off the bone. Nearly trashed the whole order of nearly $50 but battled through. read more

Have been generally happy with this place in the past. Today not so much. Had zero acknowledgement when we walked in, when we finally got seated and ordered our waitress virtually ignored us. We waited forever to get our food. When we got the food the fries were cold and the steak was so over cooked it was like chewing rubber we sent it back took forever to get new fries and even longer for another steak as that this time was cold and so undercooked that it might as well have still been mooing. The third time it still wasn't great but at least was somewhat edible. The mac'n cheese was passable but just barely. Definitely would not recommend going for lunch definitely B team sub par service and food. Only redeeming aspect of the entire dining experience today was the fact that the steak and fries ended getting comped. read more

Waited 10 minutes to be seated. Numerous tables available. Multiple hosts walked by without providing an explanation. Then when they finally decided to start seating people, they sat a group that had arrived after us and after other parties that were also in line. Heading to tumble weed instead! read more

Applebee's is not the best restaurant anywhere, but this one is particularly disgusting. The service is terrible, food cold and when finally arrived it was wrong. The staff is on their phones or outside smoking. Pity I couldn't go lower than 1 star! read more

Terrible service , waited over 15-20 minutes for drinks . Dead night just lazy workers

Overall good quality and service. BUT - It is always the coldest freakin restaurant I have ever eaten in. At least they are consistent. Be prepared to shiver or bring a jacket - even in the summer! And the music is also consistently too loud. Can't have a conversation at your table. Other than that okay. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!! our waitress disappeared after getting our food had to ask another waitress for our tag to pay. No one came to check on us had to ask 3 different times for a box when asking a waitress that was walking past looked at me and ignored me. Took forever to get food and drinks were empty the whole time. Food wasn't good and was cold probably sat back there for a long time wasn't even busy!!! Will never be going back to that Apple bees was very disappointed! read more

I have to update my review from years ago because they have corrected every issue I had with them! Fabulous service, outstanding food, and all together a great experience! read more

Well Applebee's is not the first choice I make when selecting a restaurant but they do have several options on the menu that I like. However unless you have an entire evening with nothing else to do I would recommend finding somewhere else. This location has about the slowest service I have ever experienced. Also the food has not been very consistent. read more

Food is good. However, today the serving trays where dirty. Two of them cover in old food. The waitress said they (cooks) just handed them to her. Unprofessional of her. She represents the company. Why are we as a society excepting poor performance. Talked to the manager. I hope that she will take direct action and fix this problem so know one after me will see the same issues. read more

Well it certainly was not the best showing for the hostess and manager! The hostess was rude!! I'm sorry we worship together and we eat together! Don't be rude because you can't figure out how it sit us close! Also the music up front was so loud!! My husbands food took 30 minutes! I would try other places! read more

Worst service in Maysville, appears to be the result of poor management, when will the owners start reading the poor reviews for years now An do something, food is good when fixed an served on time, tried several times an won't be back. read more

Ordered Curbside To Go. Went to pick up order and discovered half of order was missing. Called back and told them part of Oder was missing. Spoke with manager (Erica). Was extremely rude on the phone and more or less accused us of getting all of our order and insinuated we were lying! Will not order or go there again! Sad that a chain like this allows mangers like her to deal with the public! read more

This was the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. It's Valentine's Day and I am trying to have a date with my fiance to celebrate. The host started out saying that there would be a wait because they had some servers walk out that night. Totally fine, we have no problem just drinking in the meantime and talking. We sat down and waited about 15 minutes for our server to walk by and apologize for the wait, and drop off plates and napkins. She said she would be back for our orders. We wait twenty minutes longer just for her to take another table's order that came in behind us, meanwhile we still have not even ordered drinks after sitting for 35 minutes. Then our server got into an argument with a guy who waited 2 1/2 hours for the food at his table only for him to have finished his dinner and his partner not having had any food served yet. We ended up just leaving. Super disappointed. read more

Sat for 10 minutes with no service. Walked over to Penn Station had a delicious lunch!

Okay prices but EXTREMELY poor service. Almost every time I have been in there, it's taken me 10+ minutes just to be waited on, then 20+ minutes to receive my drinks or refills and then 45+ minutes to receive my food. 1 out of 5 times I have been there have been a good experience. The best have been so poor that I just can't say anything good about this place. read more

I love this place. It's my favorite place in town!! The chicken cheese maqhami changed my life!!! If I could choose any restaurant in town I would choose here. I found a mouse on the floor and I named him Jack! Thanks Applebee's for my new favorite pet!! :) read more

My family and I have went a few times to this Applebee's thinking it will get better but it does not. The food is just okay, nothing to brag about. Even if you get a salad it will be messed up. The wait time to be seated is at least 20 to 30 minutes no matter what time of day you go there. read more

I'm not usually one to complain about a place, especially a chain because it is what it is. But, I saw a mouse run across the dining room floor. That was enough for me to never want to return. Plus, I think the food has just went down hill. read more

Service was very slow and it wasn't that busy. I ordered a steak medium and it was cooked to well done, dry an not a touch of even pink in it. Not very happy with this one and I usually love applebees. Plus it was pricy for what it was. read more

Ran out of ribs by 8pm on Friday night. Place had music so loud you couldn't talk across the table. The service was terrible and was brought the wrong food twice. One of the servers ran into me and started cussing. Place seems like a redneck club. read more

If you want bad service and nasty food this is the place to go. I will never eat there again. The wait staff is too busy arguing or on their phones or out side smoking. To cover up the smoke smells they adorn them selfss with bad perfume that ruin the smell of the meal read more

I've been here numerous amounts of times and the service is always awful. It doesn't matter what time of the day I come I somehow always have a bad experience. read more

Not a huge Applebee's fan but we stopped while visiting Maysville since we wanted some decent food and we find consistency from Applebee's to Applebee's. Got "favorite" dishes that were their old reliable selves. Applebee's is what it is so you go there with reasonable expectations. In a bright note, our server was attentive and sweet as a peach. It deserved more than 2 stars. read more

Food is good. Fiesta lime chicken was very good. Would be four stars if the service was faster. The device and food prep is slow.

In spite of numerous bad reviews I attempted to get my Applebee's favorite- an Oriental Chicken Salad. When I called to place an order I couldn't understand the person who answered the phone and when I asked if it was Applebee's I was placed on hold and forgotten. With service this bad I can't help but think the food would also be questionable. read more

Went on my birthday in December not during a lunch hour, and didn't wait for a table. Hostess was nice. Waitress was really good, food was cooked great, and the dessert I chose was delicious. Had a great experience. read more
