Refreshing $3 Miller lite and Bourbon St. Chicken and shrimp. The sizzling hot plate and onions/mushrooms made it pretty amazing.

Great service with very nice staff even tho short staffed. Great stop on our road trip for a reasonable and nice early dinner.

I popped into Applebee's on yesterday evening just to catch up and have drinks with my friend. We were greeted by the host as we walked in. We grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was hella cool. He kept the drinks coming, engaged with other guests at the bar and found his way in and out of conversations happening around him. I didn't order food but from the looks of people digging into plates around me - Everything is good here. Applebee's is located off the highway and shares a parking lot with Red Lobster, Big Lots and Walmart. I'm not local to this area but it seems this is a one stop shop! If you're in Statesville stop by the bar and see Dre. You are guaranteed to have great drinks and an awesome experience!

Drrrrry. That Sahara desert dry. Think I broke a tooth

Service was great. Shrimp was good. Boneless chicken dry and ribs worse my dog had ever eaten.

Dirt and grime on window sill

Came by this evening for the endless wings and fries.... Food was good- not great but good. Service on the other hand- seriously not impressive. Our server may have been new- seemed to be in a hurry. Hadn't even gotten seated and asked if we were ready to order.... Another person- not sure if she was a manager or not- wore a wrinkled flannel shirt and she had the most unhappy look on her face as she moved around the restaurant. Very unfriendly atmosphere. Cleanliness is not high on their list of priorities. Pictures were taken of the wall, window blind and booth where we sat. Pretty obvious that cleaning was lacking. It certainly was not a busy evening. Less than half the tables were occupied. Unfortunately, as I said - the food was good, but the service and the attention to detail in the store leaves much to be desired. No smiles or banter from the servers- everyone just mulling about going thru the motions. Applebee's certainly missed the mark this evening. Gotta step up your game Applebee's. There are so many other places to eat dinner around here- I would consider another place next time.

This was my first visit to this location. Applebee's in the past experiences has not been the best. But this experience at this location in Statesville was excellent! The service was quick, polite and professional. The manger made her rounds to check on us and ask how the experience was. Looked like good floor control of all their crew. The food was served hot and appealing. Taste was absolutely great for a low calorie meal. Cost of the selections was competitive with other similar establishments in the area. Location is good. Restrooms were clean and well supplied. Server was great and very polite. Good climate control. Not too hot and not too cool. Overall great experience! I would recommend this location. We arrived 430ish on a Saturday afternoon. July 30, 2018; 19:33; we were seated right away. Overall about 15 customers at this time. The server was polite, funny and smiling. Overall my experience is consistent with my experience a year ago. Very pleased with my experience today.

Bar and other side of the restaurant dining area

Much improved emphasis on service. Been awhile since I have dined in an Applebee's including this one. Must say it's a big improvement from the last time. When I walked in, I was immediately surprised by the atmosphere. Very clean and crisp, well lit and they did a great job capturing the local community in their pictures and murals. Great job on that one. I was promptly seated and my server introduced himself and then asked for my name. First time I can recall this happening but every time thereafter, he address me by name when he came to my table. Nice touch and it did create a better relationship between server and diner. Menu has been revamped since the last time I was here. The particular menu I had needed to be replaced because it was beginning to come apart at the spine. Looking over the menu, I chose the Triple Hog Dare along with French Fries. The Triple Hog Dare is pulled pork, ham and bacon with onion rings and sauce on Ciabatta. Interesting combination but did not work well for me. The ham did not compliment the pulled pork nor the bacon and the sauce was more like a sweet and sour sauce with a little heat. Not bad but not something I would order again. The French Fries were great. Another point, when I was leaving, my server chased me into the parking lot. I had left my phone on the table. This place gets great marks for service and atmosphere. Will have to try something a bit different next time but in the meantime, it's worth you time to give it a try.

Gross gray shrimp

Horrible food! My shrimp looked raw and my daughter's cheeseburger was definitely raw. The burger was ordered well done. Told waitress about the burger and was still charged full price. Never again Applebee's. Yuck!

Checked in online and was told at the door that they "don't do that". Horrible customer service. Would give lower score if I could.

This place is huge! If you tell someone you are meeting them there, you better specify specifically…read morewhere, because there's an outdoor area, a downstairs indoor that is more like a pool hall, and multiple upstairs areas. Anyhow, I found myself here after a hot day of golf outside of town, and this was the perfect place to please everyone, get a cold drink, and something tasty to eat. Beverage wise, I was too dehydrated to jump into beer, so I just pounded a bunch of water while there. Food wise however, we had lots of tasty things. The hot chips app that comes drizzled with bbq sauce and ranch is better than it sounds, though I preferred the pickle chips for sure. To me, the star here were the wings. They were nice and large, plump with plenty of meat. I had a korean sauce and a hot honey sauce and thoroughly enjoyed all 10. Maybe even had a leftover drummy or two from some of my companions. Would come back here for more casual eats and drinks again!

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated right away. The vibe was great and the decor was…read morespot on. The hostess and our waiter were very friendly and helpful. The draft list was only accessible by scanning the QR code. Not normally an issue for me but it was a little annoying since my cell service wasn't great in this area. I finally got it to pull up and asked for the Angry Troll PB Porter (I forget the name), the waiter asked if I wanted a sample first and I was so happy he did because it was not very peanut buttery to me. I decided to try a can of Docs: Pumpkin cider which ended up being a MUCH better choice for me. It was delicious. We started with some cheese curds as an appetizer. The kids split a kids cheese pizza (it comes with fries) and my bestie and I split a Philly Cheesesteak pizza. The cheese curds were amazing! I didn't try the kids pizza although the fries seemed a little over seasoned, especially since they were served to kids. My Philly pizza was not great though. The primary taste was banana peppers. Not meat, not cheese...the vinegar-y, sour taste of banana peppers. I was not a fan. Then the bill comes....I guess I should have asked for the price of the cider (NONE of the beer has a price listed.) My CAN of Doc's cider was $9.50. Not sure if that's normal in this area but in Durham, that can would have only been $6 (MAYBE $7.) TLDR; service - good, drinks - expensive, food - hit or miss.
