Food was good. I do need to commend our waitress, Heather. She did an excellent job serving us and the entire restaurant - apparently she was the only wait staff working at the time we were there! read more

May 6th dinner at Applebee's was disappointing, to say the least. I honestly don't even know where to begin. First, the entire beer tap system was down. They only had a few bottled beers available in the cooler, and they were not common choices most people would order. I had specifically planned to relax, enjoy dinner, and have a few cold beers, so that was frustrating right from the start. The bartop itself appeared clean, but behind the bar was another story. The shelf where the mixer cups are stored looked dirty, and the stainless steel surfaces behind the bar clearly had not been cleaned or maintained properly. Considering how slow the restaurant was on a Wednesday evening, there really was no excuse for the lack of cleanliness and presentation. In my opinion, management is clearly lacking and does not seem to care about the appearance of the restaurant. There were dirty glasses sitting in the sink waiting to be washed, and the overall atmosphere just felt neglected. The food only made things worse. My mozzarella sticks came out cold, while the marinara sauce was scorching hot, like it had been overheated in the microwave. It honestly felt like the sauce was expected to warm the mozzarella sticks back up. My fries were also completely cold with no heat whatsoever. The burger itself was actually good, but by that point the overall experience had already ruined the meal. One interaction with the staff also rubbed me the wrong way. Someone brought my burger from behind the bar, and when I politely asked for ketchup and mustard, he repeated my request back sarcastically and pointed me toward the bartender, saying she would get it for me. What makes this even more disappointing is that I was genuinely excited to find an Applebee's nearby. I even changed my hotel reservation to stay next door because I was looking forward to having a good meal and relaxing for the evening. Instead, the entire experience was terrible. Applebee's should be ashamed of the condition and management of this location. I honestly believe if the franchise owners walked in unannounced, there would be new management immediately. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Un polished sink - Sports Bars Near Me - Sidney, Nebraska

My wife and I stayed for the night at Cabela's RV park. Not sure where to go, we decided to visit Applebee's as it's normally fairly solid. Must say this was a disappointment. We ordered a draft beer, draft system is down. I ordered a Manhattan, no sweet vermouth. I ordered an IPA bottle, out. We played TouchTunes, my wife spent four credits at least only to find out there was no sound was out. Why have the system plugged in and registering on the network if it's not working? Our food was not too bad, and the bartender made a good whiskey sour. Those two items are the only reason it's three stars instead of one. read more

The service was fine after 45 minutes of waiting after being seated in a 1/2 full establishment. They would walk behind us 100 times but never stopped to take our order. Then asked about drinks we then gave our full order. We were on the Road, so every minute was precious We left without complaining because we were on a time crunch.... Apple-bees you need to up your game read more

Terrible experience, I ordered the steak dinner and the lime chicken dinner. The steak I ordered medium rare was cooked to a piece of leather, the broccoli was about two bites at best, steak was nowhere's near an 8 oz. The chicken was so cold the cheese on top didn't begin to melt. The rice pilaf was dried up like it wasn't cooked at all, very hard. Clearly there is nobody managing the kitchen . Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Never again. read more

This place is terrible the food the service everything about this place was just terrible can I leave 0 stars please? Manager definitely needs to figure this place out never again will I come back what a great birthday dinner (not)‍ read more

Two stars only because my server was good. Food is terrible. Arrived cold and returned hot but dried out. Chicken like leather. Second bad Applebee's experience this summer. OK, I get it. Lesson learned. read more

It has been awhile since we ate at Applebee's and I am disappointed w the quality of their food & the service. They ran out of broccoli & substituted tasteless green beans. The top sirloin was very chewy & grizzly. Our 8 ounce steak turned out to be 6 ounces because of the grizzle. After waiting 15 minutes after we were seated when no one came the bus boy acknowledged us and brought us our drink order. Our 8 ounce glass of wine was definitely on the short end. The bartenders need to recalibrate. As you can tell I'm very disappointed w my meal. read more

Service was beyond subpar. Took over ten minutes to receive drinks, and there were honestly flies crawling everywhere including all over our food to the point it was inedible. Honestly do better Applebees!! read more

Rice bowl was really good but don't order online and expect it to be ready when you say you want it to be, they wait until you arrive to make it. read more

If zero was an option it would be zero stars. Nearly walked out to begin with as we immediately got the impression we (me and my son) were burdening them for coming into their restaurant. Food was terrible, short staffed and extremely slow. Not sure how this place is still in business other than I-80 pass through travelers like us that don't know any better. Stay away.... read more

It's great if you like bagged food prepared off site and reheated at resteraunt If they zap it properly in the microwave, and you have a few drinks, you could walk out happy. Seed oils are used read more

Excellent service & food. Easy on/off highway 80. Taken care of & checked on quickly. read more

First off I am not generally a fan of Applebees, but I wanted a meal instead of fast food for a change while traveling. My husband and I ordered and had our meals delivered. The foos was delicious and the delivery was fast. Very good service! read more

We decided to have dinner at Applebee's last night. I had the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo and it was fabulous. I'm eating the leftovers for lunch today. Husband ate a whiskey burger and fries. They looked delicious also. Everything came out hot and fresh and tasty. This is a great place to eat. Recommend 100%. I know Covid has been hard on restaurants. This one seems to have made it through. read more

I stayed at the Hampton Inn next door and needed a place to grab a bite. I walked over to this Applebees for a relatively forgettable experience. The wait was long, the place could have been much cleaner, the staff seemed to all be hanging out together and ignoring patrons, the tables were not being bussed and were filled with dirty dishes from previous customers. When the food did come it was ok. I think many people were here to get drunk on the $1 margarita sale, but as watered down as they were you'd be spending lots of George Washingtons just to get a buzz on. read more

Our waiter Greta was really cool. She was genuinely friendly and helped us pick our entrées. The main section of the restaurant is open with high ceilings, much different than other Applebee's I have been to! Our food was tasty, the drinks were good and the service was very fast. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Very good experience. Our waitress, Kelsey, was very efficient and personable. The food was good. Salmon was cooked perfectly. The oriental salad was exactly what you expected. I do wish you could get a half order on that though. The bar did make one mistake with my drink but it was quickly rectified. The service was quick and we were checked on regularly. read more

We stopped in (family of 5) for lunch on a rather slow Sunday afternoon. After waiting for almost 10 minutes we were never greeted or offered to be seate.... in fact we were never even acknowledged by anyone who worked there. we were the only ones waiting to be seated. We took our business elsewhere! Clearly this location's management/staff are disappointingly sub par. read more

The busiest bartender and manager I have ever seen! The problem is the restaurant was HALF full. Bussing tables and customer service was completely optional. It's an Applebee's so the food is ok, my only draw here was the 20.00 dollar gift card. I'll send my time and money across the street at the local establishment. read more

Slow service every time. The cooks are eating (probably your food) when they bring it out. The bartender is constantly hiding and texting on her phone so you can't get anything. And has no clue how to poor a draft beer. read more

The Manager on Duty (Gilbert) was TERRIBLE and clearly did not have the well-being of the restaurant in mind. I gave a 4star review because the bartender (Briana) was fantastic. She kept her cool under pressure as it was very busy at closing time with a rowdy crowd. She continued to answer the phone, properly jiggered all drinks and interacted with her guests while keeping up! Meanwhile, manager Amy, hopped behind the bar and assisted by washing dishes and interacting as well. Several servers and Gilbert passed the bar, seated guests at the bar and watched the bar all while leaving dirty plates piled 4high and even added to the pile. The kicker, he instructed Briana to start doing last call at 9:30 moving forward so people stop drinking and leave earlier. (As a regional restaurant operations manager I'm confused as to why he would not want the restaurant to make more money!) I would hire Amy and Briana in a heart beat but I think this location will never see higher ratings with Gilbert as a manager. The food was exactly as it is at any other Applebee's read more

Please note that this review is for a Curbside To Go experience. I placed an order for a chicken wrap and mozzarella sticks at 7pm for a pick up time of 8pm and paid online by credit card. As I pulled in at 7:55 pm the car next to me was speaking to the manager Gilbert and wanting a refund because they had been waiting far too long for the food that they had already paid for by credit card online. He told them that he would refund the charge but it would take around 3 days they were not happy but left. I asked him if I would also have a long wait (considering that I ordered my food an hour ago) and was told that they only had 1 cook (on a Saturday evening) and he would check on my order and give me an update. 15 or so minutes later I had not seen or heard anything so I went inside to check. The bartender attempted to contact the manager via headset and was unable to do so for about 5 minutes. When he finally came out I requested a refund and was told that my order was ready and he just needed to bag it up. 5 minutes later he brought me the wrong order. Another 3-4 minutes passed before he finally delivered my food. Several couples at the bar claimed to have been waiting for over an hour for their food also. It's a shame because this used to be a very good place to get a good meal. read more

We visited this place after an 11 hour drive to be left waiting for 15 mins. Even after 15 mins the waitress bypassed us multiple times but didn't care to take our order. The Manager was incompetent and didnt bother to ask or inquire about our order and at times danced in and out of the kitchen. None of the guests nor waitresses were wearing any masks and no social distancing protocols were being followed. Thanks to this unprofessional behavior we had to drive around searching for other places which had closed by then. we ended up eating at arbys instead. I gave this place 1 star because there is no option to provide half a star. Advice: Please avoid this place if you are traveling and do not have all the time in the world for this place. read more

Only marking one star because it will not let me select no stars. Recently came on a Sunday night, by myself. Sat at the bar, for 30 minutes. Not one manager, employee, or bartender even acknowledged me. So I walked out. It was not busy, only 5 others sitting at the bar where they were all receiving service. Will not return. read more

I'm an over the road truck driver and have come to expect bad service and bad food at truck stops so when the chance came to go to Applebee's in Sidney Ne. I jumped at the chance. They were slow and it took a few minutes to get seated which wasn't bad the waitress come over and asked me what I wanted to drink I should I would like water with lemon I got the water no lemon then she took our order I ordered one order for there and want to go I got both of the orders at the same time I was never able to get her attention again I never got a refill on my drink the fettuccine Alfredo that I ordered was called I wanted to get some more Parmesan cheese on it And more water but she never paid any attention Mike chip reflected the service I got no service she got no tip read more

I ordered baby back ribs. They were cold and tuff. The waiter took them back and brought out a new order. The same thing cold and tuff. My codriver ordered a steak. He said it had no taste to it. The only reason we went there is it was next next door to the Hilton Hotel. We're truck driver that got stuck here because i80 was closed do to snow. I'll go hungry before I go back there. -5 stars read more

The bartender Briana was super nice and very friendly, however, nobody else was attentive. One of the servers/ food runners was wiping her nose and eating while she hopped around trying to figure out who ordered what. We ordered from here to-go and the order was incorrect and we had to return to the location. We walked in to get our order and the host told us to "Go over there-" without saying anything else. What should have been a quick stop to pick up dinner we ordered almost an hour before we arrived turned into almost an hour long wait. read more

They brought my meal 15 minutes after my Husbands. The prime rib dip was Gray meat on a moldy bun. I would give them zero stars if I could. I had to go across the road to McDonald's to get Lunch. read more

Absolutely terrible service the last two visits..we arrived at 6:30 pm at 8:30 pm part of our order arrived...we will never visit this restaurant again!!! This doesn't even deserve 1 star read more

A typical Applebees. Quick service, decent food, good location. I would come back for sure.

Worst service I have experienced in a long time. Took 15 minutes for a server to show even when the place was essentially empty. Then took an extremely long time for drinks and food. Didn't bring out the correct items for the appetizers. Strawberry balsamic salad was drowned in dressing and chicken was raw. When Manager finally came out, he was extremely rude and disrespectful. If I could give this place less than one star I would. read more

This is by far one of the worst Applebee's I have ever been to. We came to the restaurant in groups of 5 and when we walked in more than half of their tables were open but they said it would be a 30 minute wait. During our wait time we watched as groups of 5, 4, and even 6 were accepted into the restaurant but not us. After a 45 minute wait we requested to speak to the manager and he was one of the rudest and stupidest people I have ever had the displeasure of speaking to. I feel bad for anybody who actually thinks this is a restaurant that possesses any semblance of good service because they are clearly delusional. read more

We stopped in today, first the little plate they have your silverware on was filthy. Dried food and I don't know all over it. Next tried to order the prime rib dipper first was told out of the normal bread, then after agreeing to that she comes back that they are out of the prime rib. When the food is delivered the waitress is setting down the plate and dumps all the fries all over the table. It will be lucky if I ever go back. read more

We ordered from the 2 for $25 deal. My husband ordered the bourbon chicken and shrimp. He enjoyed it. No problems. I ordered the 6 oz sirloin, medium rare with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. They got my order wrong, starving me broccoli instead of potatoes. I sent it back, and our waitress said the mistake was made in the kitchen. My husband ordered Diet Pepsi, but they tried to give him a refill of regular. Also, they tried to bring us each a beer we didn't order. The food was okay, and our waitress was nice enough, but they couldn't seem to keep our orders straight. read more

Came in on a fairly busy Friday night, hostess greeted and seated us promptly, even asking about our table preference. Ashley, our waitress, came to our table within a couple of minutes of being seated. Took drink orders, came back with drinks and graciously answered our menu questions. We did the 2-4-25 deal with a rack of ribs and bourbon chicken. Salads came out quickly, and entrees came out the very second we finished the last bite of salad. Ashley checked on us, brought us extra napkins, refilled drinks, and brought sour cream on request. There was no reason I could find that made this any less than a 4 star visit, I don't see a good reason why this place was rated 3 stars with sone harsh reviews, maybe just a one off bad visit? With so little in Sidney to choose from, this was a safe pick. Go ahead and go, its pretty decent. read more

Friendly staff, prompt service, food is always good with generous portions. We've never been disappointed. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Sidney, Nebraska

The host was great. He was very kind and even asked what our table preference was. It goes downhill from here. It's a Friday night, only 1 bartender and the restraunt is pretty full. Our waitress, Chareese I believe was her name, (it was odd spelling) wasn't very attentive. Our drinks were sitting empty every time for around 5-10 minutes before she would come back to check on us. We ordered alcoholic beverages and it took forever for each drink to get to us. She brought us our check without asking if we wanted anything else like she was trying to push us out of the restaurant and when I told her we weren't ready to pay she had an attitude. Applebee's is where we go most of the time we go to a restraunt and my husband and I have ordered 4 or 5 drinks before without an issue but after a 3rd drink she had the manager come to our table to "check on us". I have worked at an Applebee's before and this was never part of our "protocol". We were not at all acting "drunk" or had an issue at all but she wouldn't serve us more until we were checked on. Overall she was just very rude and pushy so she didn't get a good tip at all. So as we were walking out, she hollered at the door "thanks for the non-tip". Very unprofessional in my opinion and we will never be back to this Applebee's. read more

Our family was driving through the area and wanted something other than fast food. Ordered curbside pick up, only to be told 25 minutes later after a phone call and physically going inside, that our food was delayed because it got sent home with someone else and they were on their way back with it. They were shocked when I wanted the food replaced and that it seemed perfectly appropriate to serve food to someone that has left the premises and returned. This is not appropriate even outside of the COVID pandemic. read more

The food was pretty good, we had wings and a salad. But the service was excellent. Everyone in the restaurant was so incredibly warm and friendly. We have two young children and sometimes restaurants find having children with you annoying, but they couldn't have been nicer here. They even made a balloon bee for my toddler to take with him when we left. The manager was by to make sure everything was alright and the waitress was very attentive! read more
