Came in for a quick bite and sat at the bar. Mikayla started off attentive but got very distracted by a tattooed gentleman that everyone working seemed to know. Relaxing at the bar and comfortable as Applebees can be. The Hot Honey wings were drenched in a sauce that was either. The burger was dry as a desert. But we tried. read more

Drinks were weak; bar tender measured as trained; Long Island was citrus and coke, very little alcohol. To the bar's credit they offered to make another drink; asked for vodka and cranberry, received a cranberry and vodka; all juice. She was very kind but drinks did not measure up. Ordered a classic burger; horrible experience. Burger was not fresh and was cold inside. I would not recommend this place read more

Customer service cooks and employees including management rude ordered steak well done was not even close sent back and when they brought it back tasted burnt and like they were cleaning grill got food poison manager had the look on his face like oh my God what is it now rude read more

Food was fine and edible staff were slow and service was poor. Waited till I was leaving to offer a refill. This was lunchtime and the were not busy. read more

The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. Our waitress was very kind. It did take a long while for refills on drinks. She was really busy so that is understandable. The food is priced high for the amount that you get. I had the Cajun Salmon which was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were bland and the broccoli was unseasoned and cold. We paid 6.00 for soups that contained less than a cup of soup. My mother had to send back her "pasta". She got the chicken pasta and it was very bland. She said "It tastes like evaporated milk on noodles". They did take off the pasta dish which was kind of them. If you do go make sure to try the salmon! read more

Upon arriving to this location, there was a gentleman in an "Applebees" t shirt smoking a bowl directly outside the restaurant. Not a great sign. We were seated immediately, I requested a booth since we had a 3 year old with us. Service was kinda slow but it looked like our waitress had the weight of the entire floor on her so it's fine. I get it. All around, our food was good. We got two entrees, a kids meal and an appetizer. A little overpriced for what it is but I think that's every restaurant nowadays. read more

What could improve? A lot actually, Princeton doesn't have much to chose from as it is, but honestly this Applebees has to be the worst hands down, we sat down after 20 minutes of waiting. No big deal, but when I sit at my table and not one waitress introduces them selves after almost 10 minutes it kind of turns into a big deal. I understand people get busy, but not even a "Hi" I had to go to the bar to get my kids drinks, after over 20 minutes of not seeing a waitress near my table I decided to tell my family that we are leaving. Hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. I've gave this place numerous chances in the past and I think this was just the icing on the cake for me. read more

I ordered the ultimate trio for my meal. I ordered wings, pizza bread and wonton tacos. I was told they might be out of pizza so I said then bring quesadilla if you are. I got no tacos and the pizzA bread was almost burned. The wings were way overcooked. Didn't eat quesadilla. My daughter's chicken was totally dry and my son said it was worse steak he ever got there. Very dissatisfied. Service however was good read more

Very ran down and very dirty. Bar area is very dirty and broken bar stools. Glasses hanging are dusty. Bathrooms dirty, no hand soap, garbage can broken. My chicken breast was so cooked it was crispy and no juices. Terrible read more

Tried to order a spiced rum and coke or Pepsi, 1 shot in a tall glass and was told the bartender could not make my drink, basically refused. I ask for it that way so there is more soda specially when the bartender has a heavy poor! ‍. I just ordered a lemonade. read more

Passing through town and staying in the hotel next door. This was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. Young, and I assume inexperienced bartender (Stormy) gave nothing but attitude from the moment I walked in; I did not feel welcome. I arrived at about 10:15, the first in a group of four by about 5 minutes. I ordered a beer with the intention of ordering food; I was given my beer but was never asked or given an opportunity to ask for food. 15 minutes go by and I try to say I'd like to order wings, only to be met with an eye roll and a "hold on." She turns her back to us and is clearly agitated, whether or not it was at us I couldn't figure out (or why). A few more minutes go by and she comes up and says, "last call, do you want anything?" I say, yes, I've been trying to order wings. We all get in wing orders and she was for some reason so flustered by having to punch them in that when one of us tried to order a beer, she refused by saying it was past last call. Well, I interjected and explained to her that she didn't give him a chance to order a drink because she cut us off and turned around to her computer before he could even have an opportunity to ask. Well, he decided to cancel his order and leave, which sent this girl on an emotional spiral. At this point she's slamming things down, murmuring to herself, literally sloshing tap beer all over the bar bottles and then stops in the middle of the bar and just starts sobbing, vilifying us to her manager in an all out tantrum. It was nuts! We were never rude to this young lady, never mean. The whole ordeal was honestly very confusing and totally ruined our night. A manager started bringing out our food and when I asked if everything could be made to go (at this point it was closing time and we were so uncomfortable we just wanted to leave), he also gave us an attitude. Very bizarre experience. I would understand if we came in rowdy and rude, but that just simply wasn't the case. I've never been made to feel so uncomfortable in a restaurant, ever... and for reasons I just can't figure out. I'd love to know exactly what we did to send this girl off on such an emotional rollercoaster. I did get frustrated by the poor service but I never lost my temper or acted rude. Bottom line; If you're looking for immature, emotionally unstable bartenders coupled with incompetent management... I've found your spot! (Note: The wings were just ok.) read more

I literally downloaded the Yelp app just to be able to make this review. I walked in and stood at the front of the host stand for about 6 to 7 minutes before anyone even approached me as employees were walking around me aimlessly without even a simple hi or hello. Finally, someone approached me and asked if I planned to dine in and I said yes, and they said how many. Once I exclaimed that I was here alone only for one they said, "oh the bar is up there" and never gave me an option to have a seat at a table or a booth. I disregarded the irritation of the situation and made my way to the bar to sit down. Once I sat myself, I sat at the bar staring at the bartender continuing to try and make eye contact and grab her attention while looking around for literally 20 minutes in complete disbelief of the situation. The bartender was clearly under the influence of some substance, using profanity around families who are trying to enjoy their dinner, as well as other individuals at the bar. She looked at me dead in my eye on multiple occasions then continued to mumble amongst herself and fumble through a stack of receipts. As I sat, beyond appalled of the situation at hand and looked around to see if anyone else was witnessing what I was witnessing, another gentleman walked directly to the front of the bar and complained about her behavior as well as her being under the influence only for management to come out from the back of the restaurant and say "that's just how it is sometimes". The gentlemen was highly upset "respectfully so" and left without ordering. After a total of about 30 minutes, she finally asked me if I was ready to order to which I explained, "I don't know what I would order, you have yet to give me a menu or even take my drink order", only for her stare at me for an uninterrupted 20 seconds of silence and reply with "okay, you don't have to be rude". Mind you there was maybe a total of 3 tables occupied in the entire restaurant not to mention a separate server who was tending to them. Needless to say.. I walked out hungry and disappointed but mostly in awe of how obscure and unreal this experience was. read more

Easy parking, convenient location, quick seating, friendly hostess and waitress, quick service, excellent food (best Applebee's in some time), and attentive waitress. Music was not too loud either. :) Highly recommended! read more

Tony and I went to Pearisburg Va to get married, YES we eloped!!! After our marriage, we stopped at Applebee for a wedding day lunch. They were very quick to get us seated, and our waitress was very nice. We both ordered Ice Tea but mine was unsweetened with lemon and lime, Tonys was southern sweet no lemon. We decided to get the two for $20 with a shared appetizer of Hot Boneless wings with Ranch dipping sauce, we ordered the Chicken Mozzarella and the Chicken Spinach Artichoke Pasta....OMG, we shared and feel in love with both. Portions were large, we took leftovers home for continued Wedding Day Dinner. Definitely would eat here again!!! read more

Came to Applebee's for lunch. There was no wait, and we were seated quickly. I ordered the buffalo wings which were good. I had the chicken pasta for my meal. This Applebee's was hidden off of the highway. This Applebee's did a good job. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Applebee's - Princeton - American Near Me - Princeton, West Virginia

This place has caved over the last few years. I understand the food is frozen and "Chef Mic" prepares most all of it. However, the quality of food is just terrible. Chewy chicken, hard pasta, flavorless dry French fries, and I won't bother to comment on the steaks. I ordered chicken tortilla soup the last time I was there and it was more like a paste than a soup. The restroom was atrocious to say the least. The smell is terrible and everything was dirty. The floors and sink were wet and sticky. A gross black build covered the lower portion of the trash can and the stall doors were disgusting. read more

Only one waitress when we first walked in. My boneless wings were not very good. My dad's riblets were terrible. My mom's lime chicken was great. one for three. I'm done with Applebee's. read more

My sister and I went to Applebees tonight it seems like this was the only place in town that has a lot of customers we ordered the two for $22 and I must say it was pretty tasty the best hamburger and onion rings that I have had in a long time it was not overdone help it was really good and my sister had the chicken finger platter and she was delighted with her meal also I guess we found our new spot thank you Applebee's and we had a great server her name was Hannah she was very prompt and she was very treveri what she was very attentive read more

if i could leave no stars i would. i came here today with my boyfriend. first thing, the hostess was extremely rude and then our waiter was very dry and unfriendly. the food wasn't that great either. i regretted even spending any money there. i live here and that's the first time in a while that i've been there and will probably be the last. read more

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup last night and when it got delivered, it's clear it had been sitting in the kitchen waiting for the other food to finish because it came out cold with all the tortilla chips having soaked up all the soup so it was like a layer of tortilla oatmeal and no liquid on top! The consistency was seriously like paste. No where near soup. So I told the server it was cold and asked for hot soup. Thinking I would get a new bowl of hot fresh soup, all they did was took that awful soup and just put it in an oven to heat it up. The soup wasn't soupy whatsoever. Zero remorse by the server who delivered it nor whomever was in the kitchen and didn't give me hot soup but rather warmed up paste. read more

I was in town for work this past week we stopped in Applebees for dinner, while sitting at the bar I noticed the bartender removing all the spouts off the liquor bottles , then sitting them on top of the bar, a few minutes later a customer comes in and sits directly in front of the exposed bottles, made me curious with all the protocols right now if this was a safe thing read more

Just arrived in area for an assignment and played it safe with a known name. I like their menu and visit the one near my hometown regularly. This location feel warm, welcoming, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Manager rounds around the place, and I felt like a regular after two visits.... even though I am far from it. If you goto Applebee's around you and like it, this place won't disappoint. Good beer and happy hour specials 3-6 and 9-close... read more

6/29/2014 Three of us were seated in a corner booth with menu' and dinnerware. After sitting there for twenty minutes and seeing people getting waited on after getting there after us,we got up and left. We will not go there again. The manager didn't come around to check on customers as other Applebee's we've been to. read more

Stopped in here for drinks and appetizers while staying at a local hotel. The bartender, I think her name was Wendy, (I do know she was going to school for journalism, if you read this,,,stick to your journalism) was very friendly and a delight to talk to. We had long island ice teas, and an order of cheese sticks. The drinks were very good and the cheese stick order was huge. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. read more

Terrible don't waste your money or time. Took forever to get food wasn't good Mashed potatoes cold and waitress didn't refill drink

Applebee's . . . . This place has had a total overhaul from the last time that I have been here. The menu, thou has alot of the same foods and choices on it, has been changed quite a bit from what it used to be and the prices have went up a bit as well. On some items by 2-3 dollars more. The service that me and my buddy got was just lousy at best. After it took 7 minutes (on average not bad but it wasn't that busy for a saturday at 2pm) then took another 10-15 minutes to get our drink order and appetizer. Took another 10-15 minutes to get our drinks and another 5 minutes after that to get our drinks. So this is how our order went Ordered a nacho to start off with, wasn't shabby. I ordered the burbon street steak which should be steak mashed or loaded mashed potatos steamed veggies and on the steak is sauteed mushrooms and onions, quite a nice meal. Now it comes with steak (which is smaller now and cost 3dollars more) and the 2 sides is cut up red potato's and sauteed mushrooms and onions. I had ordered my steak medium rare and came back well done. Told the server that my steak was over cooked and now another 15-20 minutes go by, my buddy's order was wrong as well but kept his mouth shut (I know why now). Steak still wasn't right and now my little bit of potatos tasted like they used a whole bag of salt on them. Suppose that is their way to prove a point. Been here many times and appetizers and drinks usually alot better, but just expect an adventure when going there and eating. read more

I love coming to Applebee's anytime weekday or weekends. The staff is always very friendly yet professional. I've never had a bad experience as of yet. I love the food. On the weekends there is a 10 to 20 min wait sometimes but that just says to me that the food is good and with the small wait. I give them 4 stars. read more

I was on a 8+ hour road trip with my dog and stopped to eat here because there is an outdoor seating area. Upon entering the restaurant I was told dogs were not permitted in the outdoor area. I was shocked considering this is a very high traffic area for traveling families to stop and rest. What's the point in outdoor seating if traveling people cannot bring their pets? This could be some sort of county/state/regional/franchise/restaurant rule and not solely governed by the establishment itself, however, I have traveled many miles and many years and to many states with my dog and NEVER been told I couldn't sit outside with her. read more

Me and my boyfriend came in at 9 pm on Saturday July 30th, me and his 11 month anniversary. We had to wait about 5 minutes to get seated which wasn't a problem at all but why we were waiting there was a sign on the door that said " half price appetizers 9pm-closing".We came in got seated and we ordered half price appetizers (at least that's what we thought). Our server was pretty shit, she got our drinks and orders and we didn't see her again to about half way through our meal. When she did come my boyfriend asked for some queso dip, she was like sure no problem. She didn't bring it out for about 15 minutes, then we didn't see her again until it was time for us to pay. We see the check and it comes out to $31 and we are like no way appetizers are supposed to be half off. So we ask and she's like "oh no honey these are the only appetizers that are half price" she pulls out a paper that was hiding behind everything and both appetizers we got were not half price. Which is complete bullshit if I do say so myself. As a server she should've told us the deals going on and maybe when we were ordering for HALF price appetizers she could've said something. We left her a $0 tip because fuck her maybe she should do her job. read more

This reminded me of why my family no longer goes to Applebee's. We had problems from the start. My wife tried to order the pick two lunch only to learn they do not have that on Sunday's. No offer from our waitress to modify or try to get something similar for my wife. My wife then asked what the sever had that was vegetarian since she couldn't order the tomato basil soup or Caesar salad she originally wanted. The sever looked confused and finally offered a vegetarian pizza. Our order of vegetarian pizza, two kids Mac and cheese, riblets basket, and my Bruch all day burger took over an hour to get. Then we had all sorts of issues with our food. My wife's vegetarian pizza had congealed cheese, was slimy and greasy, she ate what she did with a fork. My daughters Mac and cheese was cold and chewy. Lastly my Bruch all day burger was burnt, well done and overly dry. The only person at our table who had a decent lunch was my son who had the riblets. I normally would have sent our food back but we had already waited an hour for the first round and didn't want to have to wait any longer. Other things that contributed to this 1 star review. We never got drink refills in almost 90+ mins at the restaurant. Never saw the manager or had someone ask why most of our plates were not eaten. Just here's your check for $50 and have a nice day. We won't be back to this Applebee's or any others in the future. read more

The best Happy Hour in town, hands down! $1 off bottles and Brewtus beers! Where else can you get 20oz beers for just under $3? 1/2 price apps are much larger portions and better selection than the competition around town and quality is incomparable to the other chains. I love the boneless wings and pretzels with Blue Moon beer cheese dip! read more

I will never be back to this Apple bee's. EVER. I found a spider in the drink that I ordered. Then they tried to convince me it was a mosquito, which I don't know how that's any better. Also, after almost drinking a spider the manager came over, all she said was don't worry we aren't going to make you pay for it, and offered to make me the same drink again. I was definitely not getting another drink. Our waitress even said that they should have given me my meal free which consisted of only a french onion soup. The waitress also said if she was in my shoes she would have walked out, and honestly I should have. Absolutely ridiculous. read more
