Applebee's Grill + Bar - Our devoured food - Sports Bars Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Very disappointed this time going to eat dinner there. My husband ordered the all you can eat mix shrimp/ bonless chicken wings for 15.99... wow. They only would bring 3 pieces of shrimp at a time for him on a plate and/ or 3 pieces of bonelwss chicken at a time on a small plate. It took over 1 hour and 45 mins to get a total of 20 pieces. Rude server too. Next time we will go to buffalo wild wings to get 20 pieces of wings and have dinner done before a hour. . I was so frustrated with server and this whole all you can eat idea. Tip was 00000. Obviously they are delaying these food items on the all you can eat, so you get frustrated and leave. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Friday night - not bust at all. A lot of empty tables. So why did it take over 45 minutes to receive 3 entrees? Quite a few empty tables. Lots of staff standing around. read more

We went to Applebee's because it was there. It was sunny and humid and the parking lot was wide and empty like a field where nothing good ever grew. Inside, it was muggy and smelled faintly of something familiar and dead. We sat in a booth under a light that buzzed like a dying fly. The menus were sticky. That was fine. We had been through worse. The food came quickly. Too quickly. I admired the swiftness with which they removed the dignity from a chicken breast and salted it to death. It was heroic, in a way. A man could die of thirst eating this meal. Not good thirst--the thirst of the desert. The kind of thirst that comes when you have been punished. There was salt, yes, but no flavor. Like the ocean, if the ocean had given up. They gave me fries. The fries were salted too. More salt than potato. You could strike a match on one and it would burn all the way through. But still, no taste. Like a pool noodle that had spent too many summers in the Key West sun. It reminded me of war. Not a particular war, just the concept of it. A lunch companion shared a bit of their meal with me. The salmon tasted like it had been cooked by a man who had a vendetta against fish. Perhaps as a boy his finger was barbed by a hook while fishing on a dock and now every fillet was treated as the object of that painful memory. They served it with something they called blackened seasoning. Said it with pride, like it was a thing done with care and a memory of the South. But it wasn't. It was black in color, yes, the way a thing gets when it sits too long and no one watches. But flavor? No. It was the taste of defeat, powdered and burned. In the end, I paid the bill and left the tip because I am not an animal. Outside, the afternoon was quiet. I walked into it, full of regret. A regret which will endure for the ages, if only because of the sodium content of the meal. read more

My fiance his son and i came in for dinner for all you can eat. This server named Brittany came up. Took our food orders and was about to walk away. I had to mention what drinks we wanted before she did. She didnt even offer it. She gave us our food later on. Left. Did not even ask how our food was. When we were done eating. We ordered more and her attitude just wow. Seemed like it was inconvenience for her to do so. That went on throughout our stay. One time she asked if we were done and my fiance was like what? No. He ordered more. I would to but my stomach was full. My fiance wanted some more. He wasnt done but she proceeded to give us our receipt regardless. It seemed like we were being rushed out. We didnt tip her at all. I was really considering to tell the manager about her lack of customer service. I looked around she did ask others how their food was. Just not ours. I may be calling corporate. Hate being a Karen I really do. But the disrespect of a restaurant was not called for. OH and btw, everytime we ordered, portion got smaller. read more

Perfect dinner date with our 4 year old grandson. Service was prompt and pleasant, children's menu great.

Jessica was my bartender and waitress and she was fantastic. We were there for Veterans Day and it was extremely busy but she always had a smile on her face and was very nice. I haven't been to Applebee's in a long time but I have to go back at least to this location because they are so kind and nice. The lady checking everybody and was also so nice and was all smiles, even though the waiting room was jam packed. Thank you Applebees for loving your Veterans!!! read more

Food was ok. Had the chicken with cheese with rice. The chicken was overcooked and the rice was dry and tasted old. My friend said their cheeseburger was ok. Slow service for an average weekday night, place was half empty. Friendly staff. read more

The food wasn't the best, it could've been better. I ordered a chicken tenders platter (5) and when I received it I only got three instead of five. When I mentioned this to my waiter (who was sweet), she quickly went back and brought back the other two. However those two were overdone. The bathrooms were clean and wasn't a mess. read more

This place is awesome! I found an ant in my strawberry lemonade, which is good, because I'm bulking and need the protein.

My parents and I went to this location a couple weeks back during homecoming on a Saturday. Despite being busy they got us promptly seated. We were then greeted by the most pleasant server I have experienced in the last couple years. Her name was Ginny and def made us feel comfortable and that we would be taken care of. Had nothing to wrong with our order and everyone enjoyed all of our orders. Thank you Ginny for making our night out so pleasant. read more

This Applebees has restored my faith in Applebees! Jamie greeted us at the door, Kara was the BEST server and Yo-the manager even stopped by. It was clear they knew their locals and the food was actually perfect (it was awesome)! We'll definitely be coming back here again!!! read more

We would just like to say that we loved our food and service! Shoutout to server, Zion and managers Tyler and Allen for being so helpful! You can tell that they go above and beyond to help their team and customers! Cheers to the chef, great ribs and burger! read more

When a restaurant offers a grilled chicken caesar salad for $14.00 it seems reasonable to expect freshly grilled chicken and not the bland, multi-purpose cubes that came in the very disappointing salad I was presented with yesterday. Torn iceberg lettuce, a few croutons, and what I'm guessing was bottled dressing topped off this completely forgettable meal. If making a proper salad is not the kitchen's strong suit, they shouldn't be on the menu. To add insult to injury, the server seemed completely disinterested in making me feel welcome or well taken care of. C'mon, Applebee's, you can do better. read more

I ate a few bites of the $23 dollar steak. I sent I back and waited for the bill. I paid, rushed he and didn't make it in time. Her is the steak, and the pic of the aftermath. read more

Had a gift card here so I decided to take mom out for dinner and the food was honestly fantastic! We arrived during happy hour and first ordered the boneless wings with honey BBQ sauce and Grilled Chicken Wonton Tacos. Holy mother of wonton tacos those things were amazing! The wonton shell was very light. The peanut soy sauce the chicken was mixed in was a little on the thinner side but still wonderful and the cole slaw topping really complimented each bite. Since you only get 4, I definitely think it's only worth buying during happy hour but I could of easily eaten 20 of those! The wings were good. Normal wings saturated in BBQ sauce. For the main course I settled on the Brunch Burger with a side of steamed broccoli while mom went with the Whiskey Bacon Burger with garlic green beans. My burger was one of the best I've ever had. Coming from a sucker for breakfast foods, this was right up my alley and it did not disappoint! The melted cheese and egg were most pronounced in each bite with the meat almost taking a back seat but it worked! The extra bits of bacon and hash browns made it even more delicious. I cannot say enough good things about that sandwich. If you like breakfast foods as much as me, you HAVE to try it! I was disappointed with my side though. Even though I ordered steamed broccoli, it was caked with butter. Yuck! If you go that route, be sure to reiterate to your waiter you want it steamed without butter added! Mom loved her sandwich as she ate it just as quickly as I ate mine! Overall we had a great experience here. Our server was friendly and easy going. Our food came out in a timely manner and was the proper temperature. The wonton tacos and my brunch burger were the highlight for sure! The broccoli was meh with the butter but wasn't a deal breaker. Seems like people get a mixed bag of good or bad experiences here but if you're in the area - especially during happy hour - you should stop and at least try there wonton tacos! And if you like cheesy, eggy, beefy, bacon-y, hashbrown-y food, do yourself a favor and snag that brunch burger :) read more

Not of the same quality that your food usually is. We had the 2 for 32$ dinner ( chicken and shrimp) which we have had several times. We were quite disappointed. Even the Caesar Salad was small and very dry. Are you cutting back? We don't complain often but felt we should about this dinner. November 20, 2023-6:00-7:00 read more

This is a well run and attractively outfitted restaurant. Management clearly takes cleanliness seriously. Every step of our dining experience was exemplary: friendly and attentive greeting from the host, prompt service and expert advice provided by the waitress, food attractively presented and deliciously prepared by the chefs. The next time we are in the mood for American fare and a clean and comfortable setting to enjoy it in, Applebee's will be our go-to choice. read more

The food is very, very salty. The food was cold. I ordered the prime rib sandwich. Between the salt and the burnt prime rib meat was horrible. My husband picked it up and we live very close so not sure why the fries were so cold and tasting old. My prime rib sandwich was soooo salty. Do not recommend this place. I normally eat from Red Robin's but thought we would try something different and me and my family regret it. Red Robin's is way better! read more

Food was great. Our service however was not good. Our waitress was more interested in her own lunch than helping us with ours. Wait staff should not be taking lunch and helping customers at the same time. read more

Oh Applebees, I'm so sad to write this. I loved our server, the environment was nice during the game, but most of our party had stomach issues after. My food was good, I truly enjoyed the bourbon chicken and shrimp as did my husband with his burger. The whiskey burger was delicious, he dug in before I could get a picture but unfortunately his fries were cold. Chicken Penne was good and enjoyed by a few in our group. My son loved his chicken tender & fries, the fry portion was his was rather small. Food was overall good, we liked it. But unfortunately we woke up with terrible stomach pains. read more

Sooooo slow! I usually try and avoid this Applebees's location because it's always been slow...even before the pandemic. There were several wait staff on the floor so I'm not sure being short staffed is an excuse. Maybe new staff? Took 30 minutes to even get our order taken. Different people bringing food out with no silverware and plates. Just poorly managed and wait staff disorganized. read more

I've had mixed experiences with Applebee's restaurants, but this one in Olympia is really good. It's usually never busy and the service is always excellent. I would only ever go to these restaurants during happy hours because the appetizers are extremely cheap and are the best part of the menu. Recently, I had the Spinach Artichoke Dip and Mozzarella Sticks. The dip is surprisingly really good - it's not too creamy, but not too liquidy at the same time. The chips are also extremely crunch and contain the right amount of salt. The mozzarella sticks are pretty standard, but very tasty as well. The best part about Applebee's are the month-long deals ($1 margaritas or long island iced teas). We paid an extra 50 cents to make the long island iced teas stronger and they are not terrible. You can definitely taste the alcohol and the iced tea mix is pretty good. It's refreshing to not have to pay $15 for a cocktail. read more

The food was really good and the ambience comfortable. Also, Cole and Jeremiah were very helpful and quick!

It wasn't too busy. The people working there were pretty laid back. Quite possibly THE worst French Onion Soup that I have ever had in my life. At least you could try. Slapping a piece of Swiss cheese on lukewarm soup isn't even trying. Our entrees were a bit better but it just seems like these places aren't even making an effort anymore. read more

Awful service and my food was cold, even though I had to wait almost 12 minutes for a pick up order. Not once did the anyone come out to check on me waiting at the hostess desk, I had to ask the bartender for help. And even HE was rude!! Horrible service, horrible food, and nasty atmosphere. Won't be going back again. read more

We have ordered twice recently to go. First order was missing the dressing to the salad, which was unfortunate as we live 20 minutes away. We called the manager and they were apologetic, and gave us a credit for a future meal. Today we called and talked the "manager on duty" which was a shift lead. We received our credit and put our order in with her. We then drove the 20 minutes to retrieve the food, drove all the way home and once again, it was missing an item. We ordered two meals, yet they forgot an entire hamburger. We called, and the shift lead sounded as tho she was laughing and said she noticed the hamburger once she came back in from delivering it to our car. Why didn't she call us? The second meal was riddled with brown lettuce as well. Anyway, we drove there to get the hamburger and the shift leader did nothing for us and took no accountability. I won't be back, and will contact corporate. read more

Food was horrible. It went into the trash immediately. I am so sorry. I spent that kind of money.

My friend and I walked in to use the bathroom. As we passed the dining hall, a humid smell of shit engulfed us. The bad smell was everywhere. We went in the bathroom and the smell was surprisingly less intense. Wtf Applebee's why does your food smell like hot garbage read more

My dad and I asked for our steaks rare and mine was harder than a rock. Second time it came around it was finally rare...but such a bad cut of meat that I had to cut off more tendon thank there was steak. The best part was the wings and dessert. Otherwise the more complex dishes I'd stay away from. Stick to the bar like food. read more

I hope my food is good, got an order to go not expecting it to take over an hour! I was already here so called it in, it's not fun sitting in the parking lot for an hour. After waiting an hour, my food was cold. Was so hungry for the bourbon steak, what a disappointment. read more

Go to the Lacey location. Great service there. They gave me the wrong order, the waitress admitted that she made a mistake. I waited another 20 min for my sandwich to come out. Meanwhile my husband was done eating and sat and waited for me. I get my sandwich and they put the coleslaw on the bottom, with the chicken patty on top. That just made the bottom bun fall apart. The Lacey location puts the coleslaw on top so no issues with the bun. Did I get a discount for their screw up? Nope. I will not be back. read more

Poor customer service , I did not get my drink that was ordered, no silverware or napkins given. Complaint to the manager all he has to say was do you want me to take out the drink out of your bills, not even an apology. Terible read more

Ordered the two meals for $25 with upgrades, two extra sides and two sodas through Grub Hub and the total was over $70 which was fine. What was not fine is that they gave me a huge fry container with literal crumbs for fries. 17 pieces and only about two of them were more that two inches long. My loaded potatoes were regular potatoes. My burger (without onion because I am allergic to red onion) was actually amazing ...until I got to the bite with an onion. There was just that one piece so I speculate they put them on and then removed them...less the one. But, yeah, they refunded me just under $3. read more

You're Going To Pay For this! Table top devices for paying the bill automatically starts at 20% for a tip. I ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad wrap.
