I just wanted to leave a review for this Applebee's because the employees here were truly amazing. My friend started having a really bad body cramp while we were there, and the entire staff immediately jumped in to help and make sure he was okay. They brought him water, oranges, fries, and electrolytes and kept checking on him the whole time until he started feeling better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and weren't just doing it because it's their job. Every employee we interacted with was kind, patient, and helpful. Thank you to the whole staff for being so compassionate and going above and beyond for us tonight. It really meant a lot. Regardless of the food, I'd 100 percent come back just based off the customer service alone. -WestPort Football team read more

The service was extremely slow. It took our waitress an hour to get us our drinks, not even a water was brought to our table. This is the second time I have been to this location and both times have waiting over an hour for a drink, our server would disappear a multiple of minutes and come back out with nothing. read more

want to give a huge thank you to the staff at Applebee's. Our friend was showing signs of heat stroke, and the employees immediately stepped in to help. They brought him cold water, ice packs, and even oranges to help him recover. Most importantly, they stayed with him and checked on him the entire time until he started feeling better. Their kindness, quick response, and genuine concern made a stressful situation much easier for all of us. It's rare to see customer service go above and beyond like that, and we are extremely grateful. Thank you to everyone who helped--we won't forget it! Highly recommend this location for both the great service and the caring staff read more

Don't do it , took 15 mins to get a beer from the bar , sat at a 6 top there was food stuck in the cushions , tried to get an Old Fashion , no bitters , shrimp wasn't cooked , waitress was awesome but she should get a job somewhere else , fire the bartender & the guy that thinks he cleans the tables read more

Great servers. Decent food. Restaurant needs a deep clean. Ceiling tiles are horrible and some are missing. Tables were sticky. read more

The atmosphere was good. The hostess was rude no words, no smiles. Just how many then once we got seated, they weren't sure who was going to wait on us. But we did end up with the Young girl. The food is pretty good, but not exactly what we ordered. There's a lot of chaos going on in the back of the house behind the bar, you can hear it all and the manager just sitting in his office with his drink, not knowing what the rest of his house is doing. Telling people what to do as they come to his door and knock. Groups of waiter and waitresses.talking in groups. read more

It's about a 15-20 minute wait to get waited on. The steak was so tough as to be inedible; we gave back and my husband got chicken. Our price should have been 2 for $25-instead we were charged $29. Then we were told, no broccoli, no green beans-get a different side. So we got Mac n cheese and onion rings. Then our bill reflected a price of $4 for EACH change--now our $25 two-fer becomes $37!! Again, another 20 minute wait, so I stand up and the manager, not the waitress, brings our bill. I expressed my feelings to no avail. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!! (The couple beside us left because no one waited on them.) read more

Awful. Waitress didn't wash hands after leaving the bathroom. Didn't bring silverware gave us paper towels for napkins. No sense of urgency. Don't go! read more

Walked in at 9 PM on a Sunday. There was no hostess. There were a few guests seated. One man was sitting at the bar and a bartender was behind the bar. I walked up and asked if anybody could just sit at the bar. This was her response: "You can if you want to. Why you yelling at me, though?" That is an exact quote. My exact response was "I'm not yelling at you. Good night." Then she said good night and I turned and left. Unbelievable. Do not waste your time here. Giving one star because there is no zero star option. read more

I met with a client at this particular Applebee's Bar and Grill in Tallahassee, Florida. While I am usually not a fan of chain restaurants, my client suggested this place because it is close to his work. This particular location of Applebee's is not far off of Interstate 10 and there is a decent amount of parking. Our server was incredible. They were short staffed, which seems to be the norm nowadays, and despite being shorthanded and overworked, our server never lost her smile nor her cheerfullness. The inside of this particular Applebees is what you would expect. It was upbeat and colorful and a pleasant enough place to enjoy a meal. For my lunch, I ordered their French dip sandwich. I believe they called it a Prime Rib Dipper or something like that. It was about fifteen dollars. I would like to think that the portion for that price was a bit small. My client had a wrap which was about eleven dollar and that did not look much better. All In all, I will give this place three stars it is a chain restaurant and I will judge it from that perspective. It is not supposed to be great food, however, the food itself was pretty unremarkable overall. read more

I would have taken a picture of the food but it would be taken down because you're not allowed to upload pictures of war crimes on this app. I literally laughed out loud when our waitress (if you can call her that) plopped it down on the table. The waitress kept walking in and out of the restaurant flirting with her boyfriend who came to visit her doing god knows what. The table smelled bad, the lighting was off, and the 15 employees serving 5 customers were just standing around the restaurant talking loudly. This morning I'm paying the price for actually eating my food, I've been to the bathroom 3 times. I can only imagine what kind of food safety violations are taking place in that kitchen. This location needs to be demolished like yesterday. Avoid at all costs. read more

Our waitress was so so so sweet. Her name was Ramonica and she was very attentive and took good care of us. She also gave me a free birthday treat which I really appreciated. The food was okay honestly. My steak was a little tough and more raw than i would have liked. But I didn't mind because I was full from the appetizer I ate so it wasn't a big deal. The ambience was great because they decorated the store for halloween. There were cobwebs and spiders and pumpkins everywhere and it was really cute. Overall I had a great time, I wish the food was better but it's okay everyone has bad days. The wonderful waitress made up for it! Also the Dracula Juice was really good and worth the ten dollars read more

This restaurant is one of the worst I have seen in a long time. The cooks must be sleeping in back as my fried fish took over 40 minutes to get. The waitress must not like to. Pick up dirty dishes. The person who seats people was cleaning tables. The place is not busy. Sad to see this type of service. Any one wants to talk about this please email me at staabrl@yahoo.com... thank you. read more

POOR POOR POOR SERVICE!!!! The manager greeted us at the door and asked us to wait. He went to the kitchen and got the hostess who then came and greeted us. She went to 3 different servers all of who said loud enough for us to hear that they didn't want us. She went ahead and sat us and we WAITED. The manager asked 2 servers if they would help us and again they both said no. Finally the bartender helped us. The first two drinks we ordered she had never heard of even though they were on the menu so we ordered something else only for her to say that they were out of that. Finally our third choice was acceptable. When we ordered our food it was a very similar experience. She came back and said that they don't have the Crispy Shrimp and she didn't even know why it was on the menu. When we finally got our food it was ok except they forgot out sides. The entire time we were eating there were 3 servers sitting in the booth behind us complaining about the management and how they couldn't get enough help or pay the staff. There was only one other table of 6 that was sat after us in the restaurant at the time while we were there. This place is a shit show for sure. If you want a nice meal don't waste your time or money. If you want to be treated like trash...come on in. read more

It has been a while since I have visited Applebees. My last two interactions concerned the location on Apalachee Parkway, and both times, the experience was negative. In any case, met up with some friends at this location (Capital Circle NW) this past Saturday after a morning of community service projects. We "beat the crowd" but it still took a while for us to receive our order since there were only a few servers on hand. I am sure we have all been on the other end of waiting longer than usual due to staff shortages, of which I have no problem, but just like to know this when I make my order. There were over 25 of us seated in a particular section and there was only one server working the entire section. We knew we would be in for a wait and just passed the time chit-chatting. It seems that other servers could have offered help a bit in that the other sections only had a few folks in them altogether. However, I am sure there is a method to how this is done; perhaps the servers have to stick with their assigned areas and not help others, particularly when tips are involved. Still, the server who waited on us was super friendly, very attentive, very respectful, and did very well under the pressure of serving such a big crowd by herself. Regarding the specific orders, I ordered the Southwest Chicken Bowl and other parties at my table ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken, the Classic Burger and fries, and Wings and fries. We all enjoyed our meals, though I noticed that my "bowl" is not as deep as it used to be, lol! Inflation! :o) All in all, we had an enjoyable time and I just wanted to commend the young lady who waited on the group that was seated at 12:00 noon at this location. We give you props; you handled yourself with poise and grace and we really appreciated the service! :o) I usually post photos of the food, but was so busy talking, I didn't think about this. Still, I mainly wanted to post to give kudos to the waitress. read more

Our servers name was Arthur and he was so great! His service was phenomenal and he had such a positive attitude throughout all of our time there! He was so sweet and friendly and would check up on us consistently with a bright smile on his face, and was very mindful of the fact we were traveling and still had a long road ahead of us. He made our experience a 10 out of 10 and if we get the chance to come back we'll a hundred percent ask for Arthur again!! read more

We stopped here for lunch while traveling through instead of fast food, and it was pretty good. We had a bubbly smiley server that said loved she loved her job when I complimented her cheery service. We ordered a Quesadilla burger with fries to share, and was brought two plated halves which was really nice, and only a rare few kitchens do this instead of just an extra plate! It was cooked perfectly, so it was juicy and seasoned. I would order this again. read more

When to Applebees after graduation it was freezing inside the restaurant. Some of our noses were running it was so cold. We asked for them to turn down the air SEVERAL times, and even asked for the manager, he refused to come out and we were told he was cooking on the line. Customer Service should be a priority but at this Applebees and Tony as a manager it was not. read more

We were traveling back to La from a family funeral in Tampa. We stopped here because I had to get reports done for work and we needed to eat something. I will be the first to admit that I have not been a fan of Applebee's in the past few years bit they had wifi... so... The hostess greeted us and placed me in a spot I thought I wanted but I discovered my laptop was dead so I needed a place near a plug. Our server, Ethan, reseated us and was so kind. I was having an emotional moment and he was very attentive making sure I got everything needed to connect and took our order. The food was delicious, hot and he came by several times to check on us... I was surprised at how good the food was and so thankful for the great service! Thank you Ethan and manager at Applebee's in Tallahassee! You ROCK!!! read more

Sat down for almost 30 minutes all the servers looked at us and nobody offered even silverware or drinks! We left while they sat others! Felt sorry for them because we saw multiple walk out before us! read more

Service was impeccable! Imani was great. The tomato soup and chicken wonton tacos were delicious quick lunch. Atmosphere was upbeat w nice music playing. Thank you!! read more

They made sure my children and I were fed happy after having a rough day. Thanks guys

Food was awful, fish with the chips was bad, frozen with thick crust, fish was slimy. I spilled a drink at the table and no one helped. Host and hostess looked over and back to thier phones. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Fish n chips ......not good - Sports Bars Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

This is my sixth time to this establishment. Like any other big chain, it is a crap shoot. Service: 5 stars. The waitress was very helpful and caring. Baby back ribs: 4.5 stars. Well seasoned, soft, and delicious. 8oz steak: 3 stars. My daughter order this "well done" but she got it medium to medium well. She tried to eat it all. read more

I come in for late night appetizers. Usually, the wait time is over 30 minutes with multiple open tables in clear view, staffing shortages is the reason we are given. Sometimes we get lucky and beat the rush. I don't think it is worth the money to come during regular price hours. read more

Not happy. Food came out before drinks and everything was missing something. Wasn't impressed. It wasn't even busy.

It's a chain and it's kinda what you get and expect Food: Wasn't that good honestly. Some items are better than others. The chicken was kinda bland. The ribs are pretty dry and not tender. The brisket tacos were decent but ehh. Service/decor: Standard chain decor. Service was ok but nobody was at the host desk for a while. Overall below average experience honestly read more

it's horrible dont listen, slow service and poor communication skills. never coming back again

Went in at noon on Friday and there were very few customers. Made me a little nervous. But service was quick and food was good. Our waitress was also hostess and bartender, so she was running around like crazy but very efficient. read more

Disappointed - it all started with car side to go that didn't happen. I placed an online order and didn't use the App which duh didn't notify them I was literally parked directly in front of door - 2 steps from door. I had to walk in - so much for car side. I ordered bourbon street steak medium well - however it was inconsistently cooked and over 1/3 was inedible fat and gristle mixed with grit from the grill. Just plain yucky. On a positive note the garlic mashed potatoes were delish. Disappointed in this Applebees- I keep trying to like this location but I am done trying. Can't even get a signature right. 2 stars for potatoes. read more

Avoid this location like the plague. I would've given this place a zero, except the waiter apologized profusely. Right away noticed the house flies buzzing around and the dead ones in the window sill. Opened my silverware and leftover food flung across the table off the fork. Waiter took order for child's food right away, took our order a few minutes later but forgot to put it in the system. Claimed because we were outside his normal section he forgot. To give the benefit of the doubt, he seemed like the only waiter working. Plenty of food runners but no other waiters. And he did give us to go cups without us asking. To top it all off, laid a straw down which was in my soda glass, we left 30 min later and ants had already attacked the sugar. Eat here at your own risk. read more

This was absolutely crazy! Empty restaurant (about 4 tables total occupied) 3pm in the afternoon and they said "give us 30 seconds and we'll wipe down a booth for you" - 13 minutes later, no table, no hostess to be found and nobody checked on us. Absolutely ridiculous!! We walked out of course... read more

Bailey provided wonderful customer service. I will certainly be coming back. The food was delicious.

I had a great experience when me and my kids went to Applebee's our server kalicia h was very nice and friendly she does exceptional work and she make sure she listen to your order carefully she has very great customer service skills and she make a person feel welcome if I could rate this above a five star i will rate a ten star read more

Still in the applebees im not sure when well get to leave. But our service was amazing! gaby has been delightful. Just know that if u order a medium rare steak it will be rare. But i googled it and it is still safe to consume so i ate all 8 oz. the winter raspberry drink slapped! Would recommend americas finest dinner. Do not go to chilis. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Chicken Tenders Basket - Sports Bars Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Hilarious. Showed up at 8pm, sat at the bar. Bartender greeted us at 8:10pm and said she would be with us. She then makes 30 drinks and waits on a couple tables BEFORE taking our drink order. After sitting there for 20 minutes with not so much as water, we moved to a high top with a waitress. Waitress finally takes our food and drink order at 8:30pm (yes it took 30 minutes to place an order). We remind her about our drinks 5 times but finally at 8:50pm our food arrives so we have to cancel our drink order. I understand in 2023 customer service is at an all-time low, but this was ridiculous. I am pretty sure the bartender didn't serve us promptly because we were white, but "you can't be racist to white people" or whatever libtards say these days. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. My server took 30 mins to just get my drink order and ended up getting my food before my drinks. I was then told to be patient after waiting over 45 mins. I then waited over 30 mins for my money back to need getting stolen from. I asked my server who was Fatima B. For my receipt and she told me she made a mistake and payed for it but actually used the money she stole from me to pay for it and told me is was a accident and sat the money down on my receipt. And ended out still missing changed. read more

I've visited this location 3 times and, so far the food as well as the service was impeccable. The food was well seasoned and the perfect temperature. The servers were fast paced, respectful, attentive, and people friendly. The patio area was a nice vibe, very clean and spacious. I enjoyed my experience each time I visited. Keep up the great work. One tip I can give is for staff to remember to ask the customers when they get a dessert to go, whether they want it warmed or not. Other than that, everything was perfect! read more

We ordered our food to go. The salads were not fresh! There was black mold on the lettuce and we had to pick out the unappetizing old brown pieces. There was no Parmesan cheese on the Cesar salad, just a little stuck to the dressing cup. I will never eat there again! All 3 salads were old! read more

I'm afraid this Applebee's 'ain't what it used be". The food is so-so, service fair and atmosphere is quite stale. They've changed the riblets; not even close to as good, and small portions. The two for one margaritas were awful. If you want a good margarita find a Mexican restaurant. Sorry to say, just not good. read more
