Chili lime chicken plate with tortillas were absolutely amazing! Thank you for the suggestion Tee! ( Shout out to our server!) The house salads were crisp too. These Don Julio mixed drinks were light, but tasty. We sent the coconut one back. Not good to us. The berry one is really good. Service was on point. Ambitious ambience with the standard Applebee's decor. Love it! I'm back! Yelp you later! read more

Great Caesar salad, but potatoes and green beans tasted leftover from days ago. Huge disappointment in their usually great ribs. They must have been frozen and the cook tried to rush cook them. Very tough! When reported to the waiter it didn't seem to be a big deal. Drinks were good and great price..but this location has really gone downhill since the old mgr left! We took the ribs home and slow cooked 3hrs ! That tells you the shape they were served in. Unless mgmt changes ...don't bother! read more

Food was amazing, The service was great everyone was respectful and friendly, I highly recommend coming here for date night or even just for somewhere to eat. read more

i ordered delivery yesterday with money i received for my birthday. this food is not good, it was horrible- what a waste of 50 bucks I ordered the 8oz sirloin- it was tough, non flavor! leather would have been better. Also in the order was a chicken oriental salad (which i prev loved) the while thing lettuce, chicken were not good- tasted old & the breadstick was rubbery. then i also ordered the cinnamon rolls - i received pieces of old, stale rolls-its gross I will NEVER go there or order from there again. Its ridiculous to pay for food this horrible So disappointed read more

The manager is awesome! She made sure our dinner was perfect! We ordered an appetizer and she suggested the best dipping sauces and made us feel at home. Our meal was awesome and we will be giong back soon. My wife reminded me today how great the food was. Thanks Applebees for a great time! read more

This location has managed to get rid of their best bartenders and treated them horribly. Most of the longtime customers have gone elsewhere because of the management and treatment of their staff And customers. Food has been either really bad or sometimes just ok. read more

Took dad here for lunch for Vetren's Day. He ordered a buger and loved it. I had their chicken sandwhich and it was good. Limited beer selection but they were Ice cold! We had a fun lunch and the waitress was great. read more

Must be new management. One server at open time, understandable. Food (onion rings) undercooked. Raw dough. Server too busy shooting the breeze in the far corner of the restaurant. Had to wave and wave. Couldn't remeber simple tasks.. like need mustard, need another beer, etc. Had to be reminded the next time I could wave him down. Chile's next time read more

This was my First and Last time visiting this location!!! I ordered food for my family and I and waited awhile! A total waste of money and time!!! The ribs were extremely cold and beyond eatable!!! Horrible!!! My 5 year old chicken quesadilla was cold, cheese was hard inside and out as if it had been sitting out for a while!! Her 3 cheese sticks felt as if they had came straight from a frozen container!!! That's not the worst of it!!! This place should be ashamed, embarrassed and shutdown!!! Every restaurant should have a serve safe qualification, I think this place paid off some other restaurant for their certification!!! My fries were also extremely cold, with nasty condiment packets and wet wipes on top of them to include a balled up straw wrapped on top!!! Disgusting!!!! I don't recommend that anyone should eat here, extreme health concerns!!! Unsafe food practices here!!! Eat at your own risk!!! Totally Unacceptable !!!! I need a full refund!!! Had to find my family another meal elsewhere!!! Bottom line this is the absolute worst restaurant I've ever been to !!!! read more

Ordered a delivery from Applebee's. They used Doordash. Order was 10 minutes late and was the wrong order. I called Applebee's in Rockwall and they gave me a number for Doordash who gave me a number for Applebee's. I could not get a hold of the driver because the number given to me was not in service. Applebee's said they could not refund money, Doordash said they wouldnt that they were 3rd party. Applebee's hired them I did not. no resolution. I will not go to this Applebee's again. if they do not care about customers not worth it. By the way if I got the wrong order, the person who got mine got a wrong order. read more

How do you mess up an old fashioned? They didn't know what a cesar salad was or what medium/medium rare meat was, BONELESS WINGS practically breading no wings. Bourbon mushroom burger was all onion, no sauce or mushrooms. With the amount of time it took to get the orders out you would think they'd be correct no? read more

the lady that served us was really weird and didn't get my fiance order right it took awhile for her to come check on us and come back. , also she brought a cup out with water and that's what she used to fill up our glasses of water with. I don't recommend coming here my southwest chicken bowl was cold . read more

This was a rough interaction here. The host was nice, sat me and even gave me my water (which is the only reason I'm giving two stars). However, no one else even came to take my order. It was a slow raining day today and even other waiters walked past me without even asking me if I've been helped. After sitting for 20 minutes I ended up walking out. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Wait time was awful, There was a hair in my beer, and they forgot our appetizer, and the employees were just standing there and looking at us, the last reason is when I ordered double vodka cranberry with a splash of pineapple and got charged for the wrong drink. That is why this Applebees gets a one star review read more

Went to this restaurant when visiting friends and the food was ok with good flavor but the service was slow to respond and took forever to get anything. I would probably go to chillis before coming here due to the service was poor.The bathrooms were clean for the most part but not excellent. read more

Been here for over an hour... still waiting for our appetizer that we ordered 45 minutes again. Would like to say it was busy, however there were only 5 people in the entire restaurant. Patrons that came in 20 minutes after us have already received their apps and meals. Update: waitress/ bartender came over after 50 min and asked what we ordered an if we received or order... well we clearly didn't due to the lack of food on our table. Next update. 1 hour and 20 minutes. Still no appetizers. Beer is still flowing... Will not be back and hope they demo the place for a new Fridays!!! Rockwall Needs A Fridays!!! read more

Looks like Applebee's in Rockwall, Texas is up to bad service again. Sat at the bar for 15 minutes with no service. Disappointing. . . . So I left and went elsewhere. read more

Their service is terrible when you come to pick up a takeout order and they look at you.

Ribs were more bone than meat, overly well done and tasted left over from the night before. On the Oriental Salad, I found too little dressing and when I asked for more, I was told the there would be an additional $1 charge. I don't think that is the way to stay in business. read more

Applebee's of Rowlett, Texas has put up their 10.06 no conceal carry sign. This use to be a good place to eat for Veterans, not anymore due to their lack of having a safe place to eat. If you are a Veteran and conceal carry...don't eat at Applebee's in Rowlett Texas, located at 4616 Lakeview Pkwy, Rowlett, TX 75088-4027 Phone+1 972 412 2630. Their pickup and go order process sucks because I pinged them that I was there to pick up my order and it was marked to be ready at 4:41PM...went inside and was ignored by all the employees there on Dec. 10, 2023. Took someone coming in for a new shift to notice me trying to get someone to help me. read more

If I could give zero stars I would, this place is completely unprofessional. They should close it. It's not clean and they have the slowest service in Rockwall read more

Starting from the hostess all the way up.. We had excellent service . They had excellent team work , helping served everyone. The foods was delicious. They were treating their Veterans with number 1 service. Thank you read more

Walked in around 10:30pm for a late night snack and instead of walking into a "Neighborhood Bar" we walked into what seemed like a dance club. No shits given by the host, whatever there. Server was nice, beer was cold (so was the queso), wings not bad. But the overly loud music blaring rap songs dropping the F-bomb and talking about killing people turn this neighborhood bar in to just a hood bar. There is no way "Who Want Smoke" by Nardo Wick and "Real as it Gets" by Lil Baby are on any corporate approved playlist (Thanks Shazam for the assist). Add a bouncer to the door and some club lighting and this place would easily fit in with Deep Ellum. My friend and I could not wait to bounce out of this joint. Just goes to show if you hire the wrong staff you will kill your business. read more

1st bad meal at a Applebees. Onion rings soaked in grease. French fries old and stale. Ordered well well done burger came out with pink sections. Beer was good. read more

Good food good service, had a great night here eating and talking to people almost too much food...

Food was so good today. Staff was friendly. These days when you go out to eat we must all be patient because of the lack of staff EVERYWHERE! They did well serving us. read more

We gave them another try tonight, Chili's was cash only, should have went to McDonald's. Only two other tables were seated, ordered two bourbon steaks, medium well, closer to medium. 30 minutes later two charred well done steaks came. The manager came over and told me how medium well has no pink, but she will take it back and have it made to medium. So I sent mine back and the wife kept hers, she was too hungry, she ate about half . 30 minutes later a very well done steak is brought back. I tell the waitress before she walks away this is cooked just as much as the last. "I'm sorry. " that's it......? So I eat my mash potatoes and left the steak. When the bill came, manager never checked back, I asked the waitress to ask her manager how much she is going to take off the bill. After explaining why waiting 30 minutes to get a second well done steak wasn't acceptable she discounted $5 and gave us a free iced tea. I really miss the days when Apple bees was a good place to go, used to frequent at least once a month before moving to Rockwall. read more

We frequently visit this location with my 10-year old son and always make it a point to sit in the bar area because without fail, Ashley W is working. She is incredibly friendly, personable, and just a joy to be around. She definitely is always busy considering she's bartending, making drinks for the servers, and waiting on tables around the bar, but she makes it look easy. She provides exceptional service with a smile and is a real asset to Applebee's without question. Keep up the great work! read more

Great service. Love the appetizers but the entrees aren't for me. Drinks are cheap but not strong. Family during the day but party atmosphere on a late weekend night because of bar. read more

Half empty restaurant and we are told 15 minute wait - as they have limited staff. We finally get seated and we sit at our table being ignored. Found out the key to eating here is to go to the bar - the bartender is the only one who cares. read more

The food was great my steak was overdone but they made it right. The thing that stands out about our experience was the customer service. The manager Vernon went above and beyond he made my husband's night, he overheard a passing comment that my husband said, and took it upon himself to make sure we had a great experience. read more

Never going back to this Applebees. Sticky dirty tables, uninformed and lazy server with uncovered long braided hair, cold. All for $29. Must be like others as there was just one other (older) couple seated and no doubt expecting better long-gone service. read more

Went there the other day and was told that when you order the all you can eat wings that they don't do boxes to go which doesn't make any sense, this place insults the cookers and what ever is not eaten they don't give it to the homeless, they like wasting food instead. read more

I must say that I am absolutely pleased every time I come here! I would also like to acknowledge one of the best managers that I've experienced. Ricky is always checking and extra checking to make sure the food is hot and ready. He is always ready to go above and beyond. He always has a positive attitude and ensures that his employees do too! He is a great example of how a restaurant manger should be! His employees always appear to be positive and happy to be working at this location. I love this Applebees! Today I was going to eat Thai but decided to come here to support Rickys location. No, I do NOT know Ricky and he did NOT ask me to write a review. I am just appreciating excellent service and hope this encourages someone to do the same. I bought the salmon plate today and each food item was hot and tasty! read more

Waited 30 minutes for a table of 6. After being ignored for 10 minutes, they told us the wouldn't seat us till our whole party was coming in. Then when we had people show up, we continued to be ignored. You'll get better customer service at a cemetery. They don't deserve your business. read more

Dear Greg, the general manager at Applebee's in Rockwall Texas, You are a rude and unpleasant man whom is loathed by not only customers to your restaurants location but by the very staff that works there as well. It has been many years since I have felt so agitated to have to vent my frustration on a place like social media, but you sir asked for it quite literally. In my youth I did my time as a server, first at a restaurant called Souper Salad and later at Bennigans. In these years I learned the business and about things like side-work, sections and busing tables. Most importantly I learned the fundamentals of good customer service. During my time at Bennigans people would specifically request me to wait on them due to my reputation to sing, do magic, dance and entertain children with to-go box puppets while never letting a cup get half empty. You could say that I have a good knowledge about how a modern restaurant works. Today during your slowest time period, around 2:30pm I stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Being alone I sat at the bar so I could watch television and chat with the bartender. From my seat I could see that several servers were literally wiping down the walls, picture frames, decorations and under the tables. This is deep cleaning. While I understand the necessity to have a clean restaurant and am thankful that you value that kind of environment, I was dismayed to see you forcing your servers to do this work. Your servers are paid well below minimum wage and depend on the tips from patrons to make money. Taking advantage of the fact that it was slow to make them deep clean the restaurant is basically getting super cheap labor, after all you are only out $2.13 an hour for this work. The servers are forced to do this because it's the only way to get good shift assignments and retain their jobs. Listen, I understand that this is a part of the business. All servers have to so basic sidework. Cutting lemons, restocking sugar caddies, filling up salt and pepper... I have been there. But when you make employees get down on their knees to scrape gum, stand on a chair to wipe down a picture frame, or start removing decorations to clean them.. for $2.13 an hour... I have a problem with that. So I was not sure if this was some cleaning crew, (at Bennigans we hired a pro crew to come in after hours to deep clean the place) so I asked one of them if she was a server as she was near the bar. She said yes, and I could see quickly in her eyes that she was upset she was having to do this but didnt want to speak about it. I told her "I think it stinks that you have to do this, you come here to make money waiting tables not to be a $2.13 an hour cleaning service for Applebees. I know this is the way it is, but for what it's worth, I am sorry that you have to do this without being compensated. That's my opinion anyways. " Enter general manager Greg, who unpronounced to me was listening in to our conversation behind my back. "You are entitled to have your opinion, and to keep it to yourself!!!" He squinted his eyes and tilted his head at me. He then turned and walked away as if he had just dropped the mic at a improv rap battle. Only we were not at a night club, we were at an Applebees and I was a customer and Greg was the general manager. As soon as the GM was out of sight the bartender came to me and said "I am so sorry he spoke that way to you, he's like that to people". I got into a conversation with her and learned that Greg had been the general manager since November and had been terrorizing customers and staff ever since. "He's just like that... he has no filter. I have so many regulars that wont even come up here when he is working." she went on. I realize that not everyone is going to agree with me about the deep cleaning for $2.13 deal, after all this is Texas and you don't have to work anywhere if you do not wish. However I think no matter the context, a general manager eavesdropping in on a private conversation by a customer and telling them to "Keep their opinion to themselves" is extremely rude, and speaks to your character and a larger underlying problem. Greg you approached the situation totally wrong. Had you said "I am very sorry but I accidentally overheard your conversation and I would love to address your concerns" we could have had a polite discussion about it. Instead you looked me dead in the eye and told me not to open my mouth. Sorry Greg, I am going to open it, and thanks to your poor attitude a lot more people are about to be aware of how you treat guests and employees. I do not expect much from others, but common decency and courtesy should be automatic when dealing with customer service in a public setting. Your staff has it, but you do not. Your staff fears you and your customers avoid you. You are a problem, and you need to correct yourself. -Jared read more

You're food is terrible, at least speaking about it within delivery service. I can't imagine these issues wouldn't be there if it were dine-in. Food very below average. I can understand temp difference with delivery vs dining in but that's NOT the issue. First-you absolutely DID change the Chicken Parmesan. I can understand that maybe you have had to change vendors, as it seems many restaurants have, etc.... BUT you should know how to cook it!!!! Sadly-BK's chicken parm sandwich from last year (2019) had more flavor (the new special one they did right before the Popeyes chicken sandwich crazy hoopla). I'd much rather eat that! At least I could eat through it without the crunch of the chicken-something you need to strive for, Applebee's!) and it actually had more, better flavor. The fries suck-no shocker there. Knew they would because they steam in the packaging. Thought I'd try-I was correct. The breadsticks are super hard but weirdly only on the bottom half with no discernible flavor of said stick. Actually doesn't even taste like bread. Think maybe they suffer freezer burn - Really, really bad. The boneless buffalo wings are sooo terribly overcooked, cutting one in half was an issue-hard/crunchy, the batter fell and was not sauced enough. Your ranch was...well...ranch- so that was ok-but nothing to put it on. Fettuccine that comes with Chicken Parmesan was underwhelming-no flavor, no salt. The problem with ALL of the chicken ordered is-no one knows how to cook there apparently or understands the difference in chickens. Simple training! And there should NEVER be a crunch when eating chicken by the way - UNLESS the crunch is from batter or breading!!!!! And ONLY that part. PSA-Chickens are raised differently than others. Certain chickens require different thoughts/methods when it comes to actually cooking it. Some are more muscle and require some finesse. No one there, locally or as an entire corporation probably, understands this! Ugh! I threw everything in the trash. $50 bucks spent on nothing! *Side note-I cannot believe I think BK chicken parm sandwich was miles above...‍ Sad but true! How embarrassing....For Applebee's! read more

Went in for the unlimited riblets. The first ones were pretty good. Tender, tasty. The first order came with about five on the order. Ordered a second round. Got two, which is fine. Just have to order again sooner. The problem was that they were noticeably of a lesser quality. That's when I remembered that Applebees had done this in the past. I got a third order. Another two, which is fine cuz I wanted to try a different sauce. BUT they were actually worse than the second ones. I'm not suggesting that they have three grades of riblets, probably just chance in what the cook grabbed. But the definitely have the good ones for the first course and sub-par ones for follow-up orders. If I had gotten the sub-par ones in the first order, I would have sent them back. At least at this Applebees, you can switch between the riblets and chicken fingers. If you can eat chicken fingers,I would suggest getting the riblets for the first round and chicken fingers after that. I don't see how they can substitute sub-par chicken fingers. read more
