    Plastic packaged flatware

    It seems to always be a risk to eat out on Sunday since that seems to be the day where more restaurants suffer from staffing and management shortages and issues. Our visit to the Pooler Applebees a few Sundays ago was no different. We were seated near the kitchen, at a table next to a large 8 top that still had not been cleared from the previous party. It stayed dirty for 30 minutes while we heard an argument happening between servers on whose responsibility it was to clear it. We were also surprised to be given plastic flatware instead of the usual stainless. (Photo). Service was spotty throughout the meal, no one checked on us after our food was dropped and management was never seen. Disappointing for an Applebees.

    I'm only giving them two stars because they tried to fix last night. We went out expecting a nice dinner after the place we wanted to go to is originally closed and very hard to get to so we decided to try here because it popped up on Uber. It made a suggestion and I figured you know why not we always order from them why don't we go there. What a big mistake. This was last night because we had gotten there. They originally told us 25 minutes for two people it wasn't 25 minutes even though it was for limited service so we said fine. I guess we'll stay. We should've just left at that right but we got seated a little early. The manager was very nice to us. We ordered breadsticks, two drinks and pretzels, which were actually reasonably good. That should've been the only thing we bought that night in fact, it was so good that we had before we left, but our main trees were completely ruined and they took them off our orders. The chicken was like rubber it looked freezer burnt and old and like the head microwave that it was absolutely horrible. No, we did not eat those odors. No did we not eat those entrées? We told them to tell them to take them off the order which they kindly did. This is why I'm giving them the stars that they are only too because it was that bad. They try to be decent servers. We really appreciate that but the food quality needs to be fixed. I mean this is horrible. I know it's an Applebee's but there's no reason why the food should be the way it was. It's like it was freezer dried out and not any good which it was Maybe we'll give him another chance on Uber, but that's about it. It was not worth the money that they charged us just for breadsticks if I wanted that, I could've gone to Olive Garden.

    If I could give this place a zero I would I had order a steak and I order medium well it was made rare and they forgot my sides.

    Chicken Classic Broccoli Chicken Alfredo.  Breadstick was rock solid

    Customer service is just non existent. It's really embarrassing to walk into a restaurant and the employees are completely oblivious to anything and everyone around them.

    Grilled chicken, seasoned perfectly!

    A simple meal.. I typically order much larger meals, like a burger or ribs. My wife put in the order for us. She ordered Grilled chicken and broccoli, with a side salad instead of the mashed potatoes for both of us. The chicken was perfectly well seasoned and was very tasty. The broccoli was soft and flavorful. The side salad was disappointing and just thrown together. We were driving by and did curbside pickup, which is very convenient. They brought it right out to the car, including utensils and napkins.

    Dollar margaritas water down and no color. No taste. Ask to be remade. All they did was scoop out ice. Someone out of town brag on theirs.

    Hair in the salmon. Clearly the floater's hair who was wandering around.

    Took awhile to get the food...wings ok but no celery and nothing to offset that it was because the "kitchen was out of celery." Then, service was essentially nonexistent and had to catch others as they walked by to even get small plates for the appetizer. When the food did come out, medium well steak was way well done and the salmon plate had hair in it. They brought 2 mall plates (we were three so doubting isn't their strong aspect) and one had food residue on it. Waiting and waiting, no apologies or anything and eventually just grabbed the inattentive manager to just tell them to make it to go since that took forever. Did take it off the bill anyway. Not one minute of an apology from the manager. Went to actually eat it and it was as dry as a bone. The entire meal when we got back and so inedible it got trashed. Just do not bother with this place.

    Went in for lunch today and had an amazing visit. Felicia was very attentive and friendly. She did an amazing job, will definitely recommend her to my friends. My bourbon steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly! The best steak I ever had anywhere! Will definitely return.

    The amazing drink specials Applebees has to offer

    We haven't been here in a while due to a few bad visits at another location. I'm happy to say we were seated quickly and our waitress was over right away. She was very pleasant and quickly came back with our drinks. She also made good food suggestions. Our food also came out very quickly which was nice. We had the mozzarella sticks and the spinach and artichoke dip. Both were very tasty. Some of our meals were five's and some were three's. The bourbon chicken and shrimp for one was a three. Chicken was good but the shrimps were "shrimpy" - as in small. The quesadilla burger on the other hand was a five. Perfect blend of flavors. The steak was also very nicely prepared. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders fell flat. Not sure exactly what was going on with them but they did not taste great. Overall a nice night though. COVID RELATED: the place appeared very clean, the staff all wore masks, social distancing was in effect.

    We decided to try this new Applebee's but also knew that our prior experiences at other Applebee's locations have been less than ideal.

    What separates restaurants is good service, hot and good food and cold beer with lots of options…read more I got all of those at Wild Wing Cafe. Food was served so hot I couldn't touch it. Bartender was prompt and available and all the sports you could imagine was on and available to watch. Wasn't super loud and temperature in the building was cool and refreshing on a hot south summer day. Tons of TVs to fit anyone's liking. Highly recommend.

    My first time at Wings Cafe could have been a 5 star rating…read more I gave it a 1 star based on the service. The young lady by name of Delaney was nothing but short, cold, impersonal and not very informative of the restaurant and menu. It was our first time. We came on a Wednesday, which happened to be a great day to come. It's $1 wing day on Wednesday. Great value for your $$. We ordered a few diffrent flavors which included Korean, Garlic parm, and BBQ. All were very good. They are served with celery and carrots. Your choice of Ranch or Blue cheese. We made the mistake by ordering cocktails. They were more like a shot. Very small glasses. They have a good variety and selection of beers on draft. I would recommend going for a beer, plus it taste better with the wings. Lastly, the ambeionce. It was very casual, like a sports bar restaurant vibe. Big screen TV's, a bar that wrapped around, and a nice size outdoor patio. I would come back on a Wed. during happy hour. In hopes that we would getting better service. Wild Wing Cafe could have been a 5 had Miss Delaney provided the service we pay for.

It also has a large restaurant and bar area and an extensive menu. We each had a $5 side salad, well worth it. Mine had candied pecans, apple slices and crumbled blue cheese in a bed of lettuce with a raspberry vinaigrette. His was a garden salad, with lettuce, tomatoes and croutons, not as exciting, but still a large serving for only $5. I had the chicken fingers with fries, with just above a thimblefull of coleslaw. He had the grilled chicken burger. They were out of bacon (how does a restaurant run out of bacon?), but they comped the $2 bacon would cost if added. Both were pronounced very tasty. I was ravenous and still had some ti take home. I was impressed with their menu, which went on & on for many pages, Flatbreads, burgers, sandwiches, Flatbread,, wings, ribs, appetizers, I honestly can't remember it all.

The food was decent, but the real issue was the app that allows you to add money to your digital card. Unfortunately, it crashed, and when I approached the desk for assistance, I encountered the worst customer experience I've ever had. The attendant's name was Jaylen. When I asked for help, he rudely instructed me to use the app. I explained that the app was malfunctioning, but he responded with an attitude and clearly didn't want to be there.
