In spite of the many negative reviews my wife and I decided on Applebee's because we had been well served in the past. We were seated immediately and our waitress was asking about our drink order before we could think about it. Also with our food order, the food arrived in a reasonable time. We order the Asian chicken salad since we had enjoyed it before. And it met our expectations. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Thai chicken salad - American Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

This was my first experience at Applebee's and I must say some dishes were excellent! While others didn't meet the mark . I got the shrimp Siracha and it was delicious! The chicken and ribs might have been good except they were dropped in BBQ sauce. The fiesta lemon chicken was like a party in your mouth I would highly recommend it. The waitress: well mediocre at best, it might be that they are busy but should never be an excuse. Overall, Applebee's reminded me of Chilis so it was alright. read more

Very disappointed. I put in an order to go online. Their selections had bottled water and I was traveling so I needed s couple bottles for my hotel room. Went in to pick up order was met with a female that asked what I was needing and I told her my name and had put in a to go order. The girl took a bag that was hanging on wall and handed it to me and then proceeded to ask for payment. I told her it was prepaid. She said, oh ok, then thank you and was about to leave the take out area. It was obvious the bag didn't include my water so I asked, she looked at ticket and said, oh we don't have bottled water, I said well I paid for it, she said, I can give you a cup of water. I said no I'd like a credit. She went to talk to someone else and came back with cash. I got to my hotel and there was no dressing for my salad, (I checked ticket and it was on there), the chips that came with the spinach dip were stale, and the sour cream for the dip that I paid extra for was also not there, again I checked ticket and it was there and charged extra for. The soup was great but seeing how I couldn't eat my salad and the chips were awful (hard in some areas and chewy in others like old oil was used) my meal was ruined. I will try it again when I'm back in town, but will check the food before leaving since they don't double check anything there. They should have told me 1st thing that they were sorry but they don't have bottled water when I picked up rather than me asking where it was, she was just going to let me walk out the door without my full order when "someone" had to have put order together and had to have notice water was there but no note on bag? Poor service. The one star is only because the chicken tortilla soup was good. read more

Only gave them one star because that's the minimum... HORRIBLE. Bad service -- the worst excuse for a restaurant I have ever been in. Gave them many chances but every one was a disaster... Complaints ranged from never receiving food to wrong order, to sitting and watching the wait staff chat up the liquor vendor while ignoring customers and their jobs in general, poorly run and poorly staffed. Frequently "out" of many things on the menu. Complained to main office... They don't care. read more

I usually head straight to the bar seating area because of the TVs. And I also think the service is a little better there than in the main dining area. Like everyone else in Uvalde, I've probably tried everything on the menu. I can't say that I've ever been impressed w/ the burgers and appetizers, they always taste too salty, as does most of the food served here. The soups and salads are good. And I can definitely say that I've never had a bad steak in here. They are always cooked to order and are flavored well, which really surprises me. All in all, the atmosphere is good and the food is generally better than anyplace else Uvalde, which isn't surprising considering that every other place in Uvalde sucks. read more

Always sit at the bar. Service great. Food is good. (It is just bar food). What do you want? No complaints. Beers are cold.

Party of 5. We Sat for 20 minutes never had a server or anyone come ask what drinks we wanted or if we wanted to even order an appetizer. Disappointed in our visit. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Service is pitiful. Manager is rude. Food was cold. Bathrooms are nasty. Eat anywhere but there.

I went here for lunch with a co-worker. We ordered off the lunch menu...soup, salads, sandwiches. The food was good, but slow to come out of the kitchen (hence the 3 stars). read more

I came here to eat and asked for a medium steak when it came out rare I asked for it to be corrected and when I heard waiters talking abought what happens when you send steak back I asked the waitress at the bar if she would eat eat and she shrugged her shoulders and wouldn't give me a answer when asked for a manager he just said well don't eat it and would not give me a Corpret number to call just a local Superviser not at all like what happens at most Applebee's waisted time and no respect from any of the staff as they all just laughed while I was complaining read more

This was a typical small town Applebee's. The service wasn't great but the food came out promptly. The food was as good as any other Applebee's I've been to. read more

The food had this Applebees is not bad but it's not great the service is very spotty and we had plates in front of us after we had finished eating and were sitting there having a drink that the waiter or waitress did not pick up or didn't even care to look at our table like I said before the food is good but it's kind of expensive I went in there one day ordered fish and chips for $10 I went back a week later and there word $12.99 pretty expensive for some Gordons fish fillets and some mashed potatoes read more

I don't think the health department ever comes to Uvalde. My husband and I used to eat at Applebees on Sundays, at the bar, and watch the games. About a month ago I was disappointed to watched the bartender count the entire cash register and then go right back to serving customers, handling food, and making drinks without ever washing her hands. There were not very many customers at that time and there is running water right there behind the bar. If the employees that are out in plain sight are this lax, what is happening in the kitchen where we can't see? Two weeks later we were there again, against my better judgment, and I ordered my favorite salad on the planet, the Fiesta Chicken Chop Salad. The first bite was gritty (like the lettuce had not been washed). The second bite was gritty. Upon the third gritty bite I discovered a bent and dirty toothpick in my salad. Of course my stomach turned over. I discreetly notified the bartender who instantly took it away, and the manager came out to apologize, asking what I wanted him to do about it. Since I didn't want another one, he took the salad off our bill. And the last time I ordered my other favorite salad, the Oriental Crispy Chicken, it had random pieces of soft corn tortilla in it???? When I informed our waitress she said, "Oh, it's supposed to be like that." No ma'am, I said. I've ordered it a million times. She just looked at me like she expected me to just pick them out. I wanted to know how they got in there. She got the manager, who took the salad away, returning 20 minutes later with a new one, and obviously annoyed with me, so I was honestly scared to eat it when she had that attitude. Everybody else was done eating anyway, so I just left it. I am usually a totally gracious guest, grateful to not be cooking or cleaning up the mess. I'm not picky, wanting substitutions, am patient, and tip well, especially if the service is good. Unfortunately, there is hardly a place you can go in Uvalde that you won't end up with a tummy bug after eating. There are just no cleanliness standards in this town and obviously no one monitoring health and food safety. Ask where they post their inspections before you order. Check the date and reasons for demerits. If they are offended that you ask then they probably have something to hide. If they don't have one, run....leave skid marks!!! Here are your safest bets for food in Uvalde: Sunrise Cafe, BBQ at Evett's, Catfish and the salad bar at Oasis, Italian food at Napolis, Burgers at the Shell station (on w. Main by Stripes), Sandwiches at the Coffee Cup and also that little place down by the fire station on Getty, soup and sandwiches at the Tea Room on the Square, a pretty good steak at Jacks (and they are open for lunch -- but I can't vouch for their kitchen either), bar food in the evenings at The Huddle, wings and burgers at Johnny Gringos (although the service is slow if you are fair-skinned), Hong Kong House and Lins Garden for Chinese, Mexican at Julios, Ofelias, Los Alamos, El Herradero, and probably the best of the Mexican is Vasquez (if you don't mind the owner talking to you the whole time); and the Country Club (if you can afford to be a member). read more

Possibly the worst dining experience I've ever had. After a busy day. Realizing I had not thought to eat, my kids talked me into Applebee's . What a mistake. We had an inexperienced waiter(which was okay, we tried to be patient . )My daughter ordered the chicken tender plate, which came with fries and cold slaw, my son, French fries, mashed potatoes (yes 17 year old boy) and grilled shrimp. I ordered tortilla soup. We also had chips and hot sauce . These were stale but that was only the beginning. My daughter's food came with no slaw. My son got his two sides but no shrimp. After a while I set a timer and 12 minutes into it my daughter got up and went to the bar and asked for help. In a bit two waitresses approached and I said we needed the grilled shrimp, slaw and my soup. A few minutes later they came and dropped some barely skillet warmed nasty shrimp to my son and told me they were out of my soup. Finally the manager and original waiter came over. I expressed frustration and the manager patronizingly dismissed the waiter.(the waiter was very nervous and apologetic) the manager offered us a free dessert and asked if I wanted a different soup. We were on a tight schedule so I did not want anything but the check. In the end we got a free "meal". But left hungry. We've had less that stellar service at this Applebee's before but this beats all. I will not be returning. Besides, they took the boneless wings off the menu( my kid's favorites) read more

I stopped by on a Wednesday evening during the NBA playoffs. They have 8 tvs in the bar and plenty of room. I had good service and the food was what I'd expect from Applebee's. Pretty good all around. read more

Food was okay. Ordered a burger and asked for no pickles and the waitress brings me a burger with pickles. She just stared at me and did not even ask if I wanted desert. Then, she left and came with the bill and never returned. I will try other restaurants in San Antonio. read more

I was never impressed by the advertisements for Applebee's and never felt the urge to go. Today I had to while visiting my grandparents. I ordered tea like usual, which was good and so was the service that we encountered. Trying to pick the safe route, I picked the nachos. This listed on the menu for chips with quest blanco, poco de gallo, and a choice of meat ( I chose the pork). What I got was a layer of plain chips (nothing on top) underneath a couple of chips with a whole flock of lettuce (which was watery and should never appear on nachos, especially when not listed on the menu). So instead of returning like a coward, I decided to test them out. There was barely any queso on the chips, and the so called poco de gallo was only a couple slices of tomato. The pork had a high essence of cilantro and red onion which made me avoid the pork. All of the items were poorly spread out by the chefs and the nachos left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Two stars for the service and tea. read more

I just cannot stand to eat here!! I have gone to it three times hoping that my experience will change. To me, everything here is just precooked food that they heat up. The menu is extremely limited. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak here and was really looking forward to it. When he got it, it was apparent that it was a frozen, precooked version that is just heated up. It is like the breaded beef patties you can buy at HEB in the frozen section! Gross!! Also, they brought out my husbands order and I was still sitting there waiting for mine!! He was finished with his plate by the time they brought mine out!! We wanted to eat together, not sit there and watch while the other one eats. Just a poor place to eat with no variety whatsoever. Typical Uvalde crap! Also their flavored drinks are incredibly sweet and are undrinkable!! read more

If you want a good place to try a new dish or order one that you are familiar with. Then Applebees is the place for you. With a nice comfortable dining atmosphere, you can sit down and order drinks, food, beer, watch sports games on TV, borrow their restroom. It's nice, quite, and air conditioned. It's out by Walmart in Uvalde, like you're going out toward Knippa and Sabinal. They have steaks there and can order custom made hamburgers there. If you don't know what their dishes are, I wasn't really familiar with them with they opened the place up, then ask to look at their menu before you order, that helps. Also, you can have orders to go! That is what Applebees is known for! When you're driving thru Uvalde (and can drive toward Knippa) be sure to try eating at Applebees. Have friends, family, kids with you, great! Cause when you come here, You are "Eating Good in the Neighborhood!" Whew, I had to throw that one in there! Thanks for reading my review. Alot of time and patience went into creating that, and food tasting, that one too, of course! I hope that my review is helpful and that you liked it! I give give it Four Stars for these reasons, it has a good nice relaxing atmosphere, there food may not taste as good as what you cook at your house, but it tastes allright and they have alot of choices! It's a good place to invite friends and family. It may not be thrifty eating, but I think that a person should spend a little bit of money when he or she eats out. That way it means something! Eating out should mean something! Recommended, leave a tip on the table, waiters like that! read more
