Server was total fine but the speed of service from the kitchen was disgraceful. I guess the saying 'you get what you pay for' holds true. Can't imagine I'll be visiting an Applebees anytime soon. read more

Applebees in Owensboro, Ky charged $.75 for wings not the advertised price of $.50 per wing. So much for Applebee's. read more

Food never arrived. Waited 20 mins for manager. He paid for our waters. Tried to give them another chance. They still suck.

Worst experience. Wasn't busy so that shouldnt be an excuse ! Server seem nice so figured that's a good sign .. only 6 of us so wasn't a huge party . Daughter just got married and I came from Texas . Started off appetizers and salad. 1. I ask for no tomatoes on salad . Didn't see none on salad but could tell they scrape them off . Good thing was allergic . We all placed our orders wasn't hard stuff steaks burgers etc . Ppl like to eat together not separately. Food came out for 4 ppl other 2 ppl waited and waited . After 20 mins all hell was about to happen . My friend said cancel it . Decided to bring out of course was tough and nasty . Then tried to make them pay . My plate ( fiesta lime chicken ) was nasty.. rice taste like stuck in bottom . I said remove that off my bill . Got receipt seems fine . They came back so oh we didn't charge you enough I said so . You get what you first receipt says . Tried to say here is free desert . Only thing did was kept bringing drinks . He blamed it on shift change . read more

The food was wonderful and the waitress autumn easterling was amazing. You could not ask for better service and atmosphere. Hands down for the great help they have hired. read more

Portions just keep getting smaller and prices increase. I prefer not to go to ANY Applebee's since it's been happening. Most of the time food it good unless you find ants or hair in it like I did. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Burgers Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Food was cold. And a MALE employee came in the women's restroom to tell me the table was ready!!!

I ONLY COME HERE FOR THE BLONDIE!!! If you have never had Applebee's maple butter blondie off the dessert menu, you need it. One of all all time faves and I easily give this particular dish 5 stars. But....everything else here is just..meh. Don't get me wrong, I'd never had something bad to eat here, it's just never great. read more

Poor service, and it's not due to being busy. The music was very over the top loud. When our Green Goddess salad was brought to us it had old lettuce. We won't be back. read more

I've always been a sucker for AppleBee's appetizer sampler. Tonight I was in town & some friends decided on going to AppleBees. We arrive around 9pm on a Friday & sat at the bar. Our bartender was very friendly & only check my ID. I'm 30 but she said I looked 17 so that made me feel good. I ordered a bourbon and diet & she asked if Kentucky Tavern was okay and I said it was. I don't mind KT at all. The others in my group ordered some appetizers, 4 to be exact. Some quesadillas, onion rigs, pretzels and something else I cannot remember. I tried the onion rings and they were pretty good. They come with a VERY sweet BBQ sauce of sorts. AppleBees is an okay place to have a few drinks & some good food. They've got a random clientele, from country bumpkins to teenage kids. My KT & diet was $4.79 a glass, which isn't bad. I've had cheaper at other bars before, but I cannot complain. read more

Horrible service Food wasn't right waitress was slow only saw her one time had to refill my water myself by walking up to the bar. I promised a gift card and I never saw it. then they promised to mail it to me I still haven't seen it read more

QB I think the service was great manager met my needs and was very nice. Thanks will come here again out in frederica St. read more

Paid quite a pretty penny just to get extremely sick to my stomach halfway through the meal. Slow service on a not-so busy night (and it looked like there were more than just a couple servers on hand) and subpar food. Let's talk about service. It took forever to order, get our drinks refilled, get our appetizer, get our salad, etc. These things COULD be blamed on the kitchen but it took a good 5+ minutes just to get some steak sauce for my mother's steak. The appetizer wasn't too bad, but not worth $6 for some fried potato slices and queso dip. Salad was okay, decently cold and stuff. But the steak and mashed potatoes, oh God. Just, no. The NY Strip seemed like it had no flavor other than the flavor of the beef itself. Where is the seasoning that makes a good steak a good steak? Not only that but the evening I went, I happened to be dining with my mother. She ordered her sirloin well done and got it medium well. I ordered my strip medium well and got it well done and rather tough compared to steaks i've had elsewhere. The mashed potatoes are not mashed. There are potato chunks and some "mashed" potatoes that kind of taste like potato mixed with a LOT of milk. The consistency is gross, like eating chunky vomit. Oh, and did I mention that not even a third of the way through the main course my stomach got extremely upset (and my face got really warm) and I had to make two trips to the restroom within 10 minutes? Cause that happened. I was completely fine before and a couple hours after I got home, it subsided. I don't think it's just a coincidence. I think something about those disgusting potatoes did it. Never again. I will never go here again. read more

When i first walked into the establishment i was welcomed by a nice young lady who escorted us to our table. The waitress was nice and welcoming to us. She brought us out new drinks often. It took them 20 minutes to get us our food which is understandable but, our kids mac n' cheese was cold and it's fries had a hair it them. The waitress was nice and calm about the situation and brought us out a new one 10 minutes later. overall not a very good experience. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - hair in the food - Burgers Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Crispy Fried shrimp. It came with fries and cole slaw. I thought the shrimp was okay, however the cocktail sauce was a little different from what I am used to. There wasn't enough horseradish and a bit to vinegary for me. The fries was eh, not much to speak of and one taste of the slaw was all I wanted. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Crispy Fried Shrimp with fries and slaw. - Burgers Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

I don't know about other places, but this Applebee's captures the "neighborhood" feel perfectly! The atmosphere is great with great hospitality by the waiters and waitresses. You can't beat half-priced appetizers or the trio! The only critique I have is the price of the average entree seems a bit high, but what place isn't now-a-days? Overall great restaurant, great food, great atmosphere. read more

Service and manager was good. We ordered a platter but got a basket. Manager said it was cooked and served by weight not number of pieces. A little confusing. We definitely was served Basket. read more

Waitress forgot to bring out the appetizer, then gave us the wrong check. Steak was good, but a little to salty.

I tasted 3 different dishes from their menu, and I can almost guarantee that they were all frozen at one time. If you like a 'TV Dinner' style menu then this will right up your alley, but the only thing 'Fresh' was the salad which was somewhat crisp but had a MSG style flavor to it. read more

got pasta from here today. with a large mountain dew, i was eating my pasta and almost CHOKED on a piece of black silicone. luckily i spit it out onto my plate. read more

Not a good experience. In town on business- tired and didn't want to search for food options so I looked this location up on Yelp, without looking at other reviews, placed a curbside order. After I sat for 15 minutes at curbside- I began to read other reviews for this location. Could have saved time if I had. What bothered me the most was 2 times an employee walked by, looked at me and ...nothing. At 30 minutes, I left. This location was NOT busy and I just ordered a chicken roll-up. I drove across the street and O' Charley's could not have been more friendly and helpful. It was unbelievable how quick they had my order completed and I was out the door. Morale of story- read reviews first if your are from out of town! read more

My friend and I had a cola and strawberry cheesecake shooter today and I must say it was beyond nasty. It tasted like it had aftershave in it. Not sure which part of the dessert had the heavy metal taste but it was obnoxious. Sent it back and still had to pay for 2 soft drinks...over $5.00! The waitress seemed unconcerned, so needless to say, I will never return there...they need to work on customer service and desserts. read more

Went here to eat 2 days ago and I will never ever go there again. Food was cold and nasty. Took 45 min to receive food which obviously has been cooked and left sitting in the kitchen for some time. Staff was to busy laughing and talking to wait on customers. Absolutely terrible experience hope they close down soon. read more

Never again! My son and I went here for supper. He ordered the potato twists for an appetizer, and they looked and tasted burnt. The waitress was friendly but service was very slow, and she was not checking back with us about drink refills or steak sauce or if all was well, though it was not busy. We both had steak, i wanted mine well-done and he wanted med-well. I got my steak with blood running out, and it was too gross to eat. His was way too well-done. And the mashed potatoes were disgusting!!! I don't know what they are doing to their so-called mashed potatoes, but they are more like a tasteless, milky potato-salad, with big chunks of potatoes, and a lot of milk. I exchanged them for fries but by the time the fries finally arrived, we were too irritated to stay, and my son had started getting sick right after he started eating. I will never go here again! Wasted a lot of money on GARBAGE. read more

I love there 'Under $4' Menu after 9PM. It is great! Great value, good food and the servers get to know you! The regular menu is awsome as well. read more

The service was terrible.... Our family came in for dinner around 5 and sat there for about 30-35 before being waited on... Then I asked for a refill of my Pepsi. I waited a while and asked again... After that I waited for about another 8-10 minutes and asked another time until they finally brought it out. Now I will admit, the sirloin steak that the cooks made was excellent. read more

Recently my wife and I decided to order Cross-cut ribs from your curbside take-out after seeing them advertised on T.V. Previously we have enjoyed excellent dining at your restaurant. That came to an end when we ordered the ribs. We actually ordered an extra platter so as to have some extra. Big mistake!!!!!! They were less than inedible. On T.V. the diners were enjoying the meaty ribs. Ours were like pieces of leather with small pieces of tough,fat unidentifiable "meat". We ate the french fries and cole slaw and gave the majority of the "ribs" to the dog. The french fries and cole slaw wound up costing $40.00. read more
