Traveling...again...surprise surprise right??? While driving from Columbus GA to the airport, this Applebees was right off the highway and close enough to not have to worry about leaving so soon to catch my flight. I sat at the bar, per usual, but we all know this already... Michelle J. was my bartender... my goodness talk about SWEET! And she's beautiful! She was helpful, attentive and very kind! I cannot speak the servers or anything else about this establishment. I ordered soup and an appetizer. Food is always good at Applebees. While I try to avoid chains while traveling and to try something local, today I was hungry and it was close... and ya know what, it was consistent. Thank you Michelle for your excellent service! Next time I'm passing through, I will be be back. read more

I want to reflect on my visit to Applebee's on Bullsboro Drive in Newnan on 4/8/26. As we walked in the place was sparsely filled. There were all white patrons we were the only blacks at that time. To start all heads turned, I said wow what is there to look at. Then there was no one at the hostess stand so we stood there for a few mintues. While we were standing there the hairs on my arms started lifting. There were three elderly white patrons sitting at the bar. Two female and one male. I could overhear the man talking and could only gather that he was referring to crime ( I am not sure of what nature but I do believe he referenced non-whites). I immediately told my daughter I think I am going to hear something I don't want to hear. And not even a minute later the white male said very loudly "they can solve this by just getting some rope, making a noose and hanging 4-5 of them"! By this time a server/hostess had come to seat us and she heard the same thing and was very apologetic. I let her know his ignorance was not her fault. I grappled with whether to stay because if he kept it up I was ready for it but I had my young grandsons and did not want them to be exposed to the foolishness. He said a few more silly things and then said "let me get out of here the police are already looking for me". As per the waitress he is a regular and says disparaging things almost everytime he is there. Now to comment on the post that "Rex S." made on 4/1/26 about not coming to this spot if you are white, there is no surpise why black servers would feel some kind of way if there are more people like that racist man who was there on 4/8. That is not to say all whites are racist but I would venture to say that they have probably experienced a lot of it there in good ol Newnan GA. Service wise, we had Tameka training Chris. Tameka did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable after all of that nonsense. She was also very patient with Chris as it was his third day training, I believe. Food wise the onion rings I ordered were amazing and everyone else enjoyed what they ordered. Needless to say there is no reason for me to ever stop in Newnan again when I leave Buckhead to go south of Atlanta. If Applebees wants to keep some good rapport with customers of all ethnicities everyone should be treated equally the same and that is like good paying customers coming to support their business and get a good meal. Keep out RACIST, OFFENSIVE people! read more

I recently visited Applebee's and had a disappointing experience. I ordered a burger and asked for pepper jack cheese, but it came out without it. I had to send it back just to have the cheese added, which was frustrating, and the food overall wasn't very good. The service was just okay, but what really bothered me happened when I got the bill. The server asked if I wanted to leave a tip, and when I said yes, she selected the highest tip option herself instead of letting me choose. I've never had that happen before, and it felt very inappropriate. Because of this experience, I don't plan on returning. read more

Racist! The seater, when I was asking for a table for three, said she had to seat these people first really rudely, and I said ok that's fine. We were waiting 6 or 7 minutes while she was digging in a bin under the podium for this kid that was with the people she just sat. 6 minutes later she gives him something like candy or toys, and went to seat him at his table with his family. She was talking to them for 3 more minutes and came to seat us. After she sat us, now here's the racist part, she past the waitress, and said sorry, the waitress said to her for what? And, the seater whispered white people, and I am sure she said that, the lips matched and everything. We got up and left. Terrible service, will not be coming back. DO NOT COME IF YOU ARE WHITE! read more

Great food still hot thank you for the great service if that's possible please give me your address thank you very appreciate your business and your read more

Went in for lunch at 1:15. I sat at the bar waited a few minutes and the bar tender comes around the corner ask my what I want to drink then disappears. She brings me my drink gets my order, when I ask for no salt on my fries she lets out a big sigh. No to much longer my food comes out, I ask for some extra sauce that comes with the wrap, again another sign but this time she turns around and mumbles a few things like I was bothering her. There were only 2 other people at the bar and one guy just had a beer and no food. But, she did get awful friendly when it was time to pay. Food was good, the service wasn't bad but her attitude was horrible. I won't be back. read more

See all

Food was terribly average. Waitress was very nice. Price wasn't worth the food. The place looks run down, not so clean. Won't go back.

They have improved their service ten fold! Dinner specials during the week are great values. Hamburger meals I mean meals are less than fast food and larger burgers! Can highly recommend them now! read more

This Applebees is so horrible NEVER, WHEN I MEAN NEVER COME HERE. I ordered a meal online (KEY WORDS ONLINE , NEVER SAT DOWN ONLY ONLINE) got the wrong thing which was my fault. Boom I asked for a refund he claimed he issued it. Mind you this all this happened 10/31/25. So he then he retook my Order for the correct thing. Days later I look into my account extra money is taken. I go up there just to find out a bartender took my money that didn't even take my order & took it upon herself to take out a big tip from me . Which I put 0$ on the tab because I didn't eat inside. ATP we are on week 1, they said to me it takes 5-7 business days depending on my bank . Now we are on week 2 I then call my bank and they have no records of a processed refund That they claimed to have given me . They have been given me the hassle and it's going on 2weeks . They claimed "oh our system has changed we issued a refund but corporate has to issue it." In this case it's theft y'all didn't wanna do this the simple way . So I WILL BE FILING A POLICE REPORT & TAKING THIS TO COURT & somebody will pay for my money being lost & never issued . read more

We came in the morning and the service was fast and very kind. It was very clean inside and fairly quiet. The food was delicious.

During the day, this place is fantastic at night. It is the worst place you can eat at! there is no hostess nobody talks to you or greets you. You just sit there and wait for somebody to come to you. Good luck try someplace else if you want to eat that same day. read more

Took my son here Wednesday night. Food was by far worst I have ever had at an Applebee's. The people next to us had their food burned. My son's steak was burned on the outside but uncooked on the inside. It probably wasn't thawed out before thrown in oven. Everything on the plate was sloppy like a child put it together. I then realized that the waitress was likely the cook also. I paid full price for a horrible meal I wouldn't give to my dog. This is not acceptable and I would like my $ back. (I still left a generous tip for the waitress) read more

Worst customer service in Newnan , stood at the host stand for minimum of 8 minutes while the managers are having a whole conversation across the room and making eye contact with us , we were so confused read more

The service is consistently poor. We waited almost 50 minutes to get the special they have advertised. It took forever to get drinks, we had to ask for straws; when we were served our food, sides were missing. It appeared that the ones who were working were hiding in the back. The hostess was following one of the waitresses around. Our waitress was doing the drive up orders plus waiting one whole side of the restaurant. None of her tables were bussed the whole hour and a half we were there. An older white haired lady came in around 530, apparently was the manager on duty, we couldn't tell really, not only her, but not a single person wore a name badge. The older lady just leaned on a chair or table intermittently and watched the bartender/chatted. None of this walking the area and asking patrons how was everything. She looked too tired to move or care. It was the last time we will be visiting an Applebee's. I wouldn't be surprised if Applebee's goes out of business soon with this mindset. There are so many other options to eat and have a nice dining experience, but we were intrigued by the promo and thought we'd try. We're cured of that though! read more

The service was nice and mostly friendly, however, our original waiter, who ended up being moved to another table before we ordered our food completely lied to the manager and our new waitress about mentioning a drink to us. A flyer on the table said that if we weren't recommended one of the margaritas, then we got a free appetizer. Neither waiter recommended so we asked the new waitress. She went and asked the original, he walked over and claimed he recommended every drink on the flyer. A lie. A lie so he wouldn't have to be held responsible for an appetizer. The new waitress was very apologetic and offered another appetizer. The marinara tasted freezer burnt. The riblets tasted freezer burnt. The chicken fingers were something you'd find in a frozen meal at the grocery store. The fries were cold, hard, and completely covered in seasoning. They had cool tablets for every table to order food, call your waiter, and play games. But you could only order appetizers (and desserts) and by the time you looked at it, you might as well just tell the waiter your appetizer order. It also cost $0.99 to play the games. So this tablet was basically pointless. I love Applebee's, but not this one. read more

This Applebees is the absolute best I've ever been to. The place is clean the atmosphere is amazing and TAYLOR out waitress was absolutely fantastic. It was a great experience today and my family and I was very please. Keep up the great service. read more

My wife and I wanted a nice dinner at around 9pm Sat night- Applebees in Newnan said they were open until 1am so we went. I wish I could tell you about it but I can't. We and about 6-7 other people sat in the waiting area for 15-20 min and were NEVER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED, far less asked to sit or even put on a list. No contact with restaurant personnel AT ALL. Restaurant looked perhaps 1/3 full and no one even spoke to anyone in that waiting area. So we left. I know too well that all businesses have trouble finding people who will actually WORK or even apply - but THIS, for a restaurant on a Saturday night, is RIDICULOUS. I truly weep for our country and Mankind in general- read more

Food was bland with no taste, but the service was very good. Amblance ok Bourbon Street Chicken read more

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered the shark drink. I wasn't given a spoon, so I dug into the icy topping with my fork. I felt something in my mouth, and spit it out. What I found in my napkin is in the picture...a booger? An old piece of food? I have no idea. After I found the mystery substance, my party of 3 was told that they had run out of ribs...which is an Applebee's signature item. We asked the manager to come out, and she did. She was a star, and is the only reason I'm not giving a 1 star review. She comped us for our drinks and meal, but informed us that they weren't actually out of ribs... We left without eating and are on our way to another establishment as I type this. I hate Applebee's and only came here at the insistence of my parents. I won't be coming back. read more

Honestly, the Applebee's chain should've gone under by now, but I digress. We arrived and there were two parties ahead of us who had not spoken to a host yet, shortly after 3 more families came in and were seated before my party or the two ahead of us. The restaurant appears to be very poorly operated, with little to no staffing, and a complete lack of care for customer satisfaction. 0/10 will not return. The food was microwaved well, but the centers of nearly all the foods were cold. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - No host. No staffing. No greeting. No service. - American Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

Walked in with my family, no hostess at the front. The bartender made eye contact with us but gave no greeting or informed us when we would be served. We decided to leave after a few minutes of standing around with not greeting and awkward glances from the bartender. I'd understand if the store was busy, however there were only 5 customers in the store. It was totally unacceptable and unprofessional. read more

They never seated me. (The restaurant was half full, if that much.). A server told me she would be right with me, and then she didn't come back. Someone motioned to some girl sitting by herself over in the empty section to seat me. I'm guessing she was on break. And when she finally waddled my way, I told her that I was sorry that I was too much trouble to be served, but I would just go somewhere else because there were so many more dining options close by. Which I did. read more

We arrived Friday night before Christmas. There were about 4 groups waiting and the restaurant was pretty empty. We thought, we got there at a good time before it was full. There was no hostess. We waited about 15 minutes for a hostess. Really you ask, really. When the hostess arrived, she asked for our names and said it would be about 20 minutes. Remember the restaurant was empty with only about 6 groups sitting at the bar and tables. We said okay, thinking that's the normal thing they say. After 30 Minutes we observe 2 groups waiting get their own menus. Another 20 minutes, we thought we would get menus for ourselves. 70 minutes passed and the hostess sat a group that arrived before us. We waited another 20 minutes and noticed there was only 2 waitress, one person, maybe an employee that wasn't supposed to wait tables. We think a cook came out or someone from the back. We waited another 10 minutes and I said to my spouse, let's go. We went to a steak restaurant and the service was banging. The was good in giving this restaurant a one star, it was the service and not the for. They need help read more

Great and fast service. Taylor L was an awesome and friendly server. Order was accurate and food was good.

Went to applebee's and had the best server!! I believe the young girl's name was dynasty. She was very pleasant and made sure us as guests were enjoying ourselves. The food was delicious and the fries are absolutely yummy!! read more

Taylor is an amazing, enthusiastic waitress. Will definitely request her on my next visit. The food on the other hand was great

Taylor was an amazing server. Very sweet. I love the oriental chicken salad. Great atmosphere and music.

Awful. Awful.Awful. Worst food ever. Do yourself a big favor and go somewhere else....you'll be glad you did.

The bartender was completely awesome! He was very kind and fixed great drinks we hate we didn't get the cheese sticks because we love them also read more

I dont frequent Applebees but I've never had a bad experience until Sat. night. The vodka selection was very limited. We ordered the pretzel app and when they brought the pretzel they told us they were out of cheese and cooking some more. A couple of minutes later a waiter brings out a small condition. cup half full and tells they are rationing the cheese. We say something to the manager and she seems uninterested. We asked for things on our salads which didn't come with them. Our food came and the presentation was awful, I think it was rationed also. It was delicious but the experience we had so far didn't let me enjoy it. While we waited and ate, there were several tables that left when they were done and those tables still had dirty dishes on them when we left. Servers were good so I can only think it is a management problem. Hope it gets fixed soon read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp - American Near Me - Newnan, Georgia

I came to this place for a birthday dinner and I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad with blackened shrimp and after I eat it I feel my mouth fill up with saliva. I knew something was wrong and I ran to the bathroom and puked horribly. Never coming here again and this is the first time I had to throw up from a restaurant. Just horrible. The team was very understaff I only saw 2-3 servers going around during rush hour at 5 PM. read more

We did get seated quickly , that's why it gets one star . The waitress came , we ordered and ... waited and waited .... and waited. The food was poor quality and the burger was cold . I don't think this place has a manager or anyone who cares about anything that works here . I will save you pain and suffering , go to steak and shake. I predict this place will be closed within a year . read more
