I doordash from here quite a bit and i love the steak and shrimp topper! the mango lemonade deal that they have is easily my favorite drink i've ever had. i've always been a big fan applebees and always will! read more

If I could leave NO STARS I would! Ordered the 8oz Sirloin (well done) with mashed taters, it came out red, sent it back, when I got it back it was pink, ok well I will deal with it, first bite (with A1) it has a weird taste, hmmm 2nd bite (without A1) was just plain nasty, the mashed potatoes were blan, took one bite of them.... I cut the steak up in tiny pieces (for my dogs) the waitress Rhianna comes over, asks "you need a box?" Ummm never asked me why I didn't eat my dinner or if she could do anything else for us....she then drops the container on the table and darts off...my husband was super pissed, he left her a $0 tip....and he NEVER does that!! On a brighter note, the Margaritas were decent...... read more

Awful customer service. Awful food. When I walked in, there was no hostess at the entrance/ wait to be seated sign. Three different servers walked right across me, made eye contact and went without acknowledging me. Waited 5 minutes until one of those servers sat me down. Keep in mind, there were plenty of tables opened. When the food arrived it was cold. I'm never going to this Applebee's again. read more

We travel through here from time to time and had a bad experience last winter - we decided to give them another try today. It took 10 minutes to be seated and there were only six tables full in the restaurant. After a 40 minute wait (we were seated) we were served soup. It took an additional half an hour to receive our food. When we finally got it, my pasta had a film on top because it had sat for so long and it was luke warm. The appetizer plate - we had it before at another location - was like it was cooked yesterday. They burned the pretzels, the wanton shells were fried in what appeared and tasted to be dirty old grease and the ribblettes were cold and only glazed on one side. You don't want to know what the other side looked like. Best way to describe them is gray... They offered to replace my pasta but who knew how long that would take and it's always really cold in here no matter the season. It is very uncomfortable in here to the point no one wants to sit very long. The server was rude from sit down and her attitude got progressively worse after I got the manager. They also messed up the orders of two other tables while we were here. They sent the mashed potatoes back because they tasted metallic. They didn't complain and nothing was removed from their bill and they were here 35 minutes longer than us. The manager is aware this happened to us last winter and again today. She reports a staffing issue. I don't suspect that will get better as the GM is in the kitchen to help out today I'd rather eat McDonald's...let's see if they take the crappy pasta off our bill. They didn't comment on removing the appetizer plate. Update- pasta is off but we had to pay for the crappy appetizer plate. Whole meal should have been comped. We should have stuck to the Jerky and Warheads we had for snacks in the truck. Hope this review makes you go somewhere else- I don't ever leave reviews. PS: this place so bad we told the people in the lobby waiting for a table to go somewhere else. They didn't know what to say to that. If you have to eat here. Get the French Onion Soup. It was the only thing they didn't screw up and that was warm in the entire restaurant. Food Temp - Warm Ambient Temp of building - Cold Service - Icy read more

I was there Christmas night. They had a limited menu which I certainly understood. However, when the waitress appeared I noticed her long decorated nails. I pointed out that they were unsanitary and asked for another server. She called me rude and walked away. As I asked the hostess for a corporate number I noticed the bartender had even longer decorated nails. I walked out hungry as I refuse to eat in a place where poor sanitation is acceptable. Imagine what goes on out of view of the customer. There are reasons health departments place stipulations or certain restrictions on nails. The York district needs a new health inspector. Ironically, I went across the highway to a truck stop to find better sanitation practices. The truck stop had a mini Pizza Hut. read more

If I could give 0 stars... Showed up at 7:15 pm on a Sunday night party of 5, and was told the wait was 10-15 minutes. As we were waiting a party of 7 checked in, followed by a party of 3. The hostess was terribly inept at managing the wait list. After realizing there were several parties now waiting, she attempted to write down names, however the names were written randomly on her tablet, rather than the order in which we arrived. I understand a party of three being seated pretty quickly, what I don't understand is that they were seated, are dinner, and walked out before we made it back in the door. Having to watch multiple parties be seated ahead of us when we were there first was extremely frustrating. Seeing empty tables, and customers walking out was annoying. The final straw was the party of 7 being called ahead of us, we protested, and were told we were "incorrect". We left...the trip to Wendy's had way less drama than this Applebees. Applebees, you can and should do better. You wait staff was looking pretty frustrated because unless tables are full there is no money to be made. read more

Thus has to be the best apple bees in my life Because one the baby back ribs are so good and my son loves loves the Mac an cheese and the burger plus the hole staff is so nice and welcoming read more

I was seated and sat at my table for 15 minutes without being acknowledged. I walked out.

Terrible. Grown men at the bar acting like kids. Throwing stuff at servers, servers throwing stuff back. There's a time and place for everything and it was very disturbing, unprofessional, and not a good environment at all. Manager seeing all of this happen and not doing a single thing about it. On top of that, couldn't even get our order right.... read more

Amazing food and service. Thank you! Will come back eventually. Bar tender is awesome.

Poor service, no silverware until after food was served, no ice in drinks. Cold food delivered to table, couldn't eat half of the dishes we ordered out of 5 meals. Will never return. read more

Bad Food! We ordered two salmon dinners. The salmon was 1/3 the size in the photo. Both were over-cooked. The broccoli was fine. I ordered draft Michelob yet it was completely flat. The waitress said she would not charge us for the beer, so I ordered a rootbeer float. Unfortunately, the kitchen employee who made it ruined it by putting ice in it. I told the waitress that they clearly made it wrong, but she ignored my complaint. read more

the food was good but our server sucked. I don't remember her name but she was a BRAT. my friend asked for ranch and she said no. i asked for help cause they skipped my order and she said im bussssyyy. then their was googly eyes on our fries which was insanely weird. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - York, Nebraska

Not an Applebees regular. First time customer here or anywhere. Saw all the negative reviews and thought it might be fun to see what it's all about, as we were staying at the adjacent hotel. We had a great experience! Start to finish the service was perfectly on point. Our server was great and I saw other customers around us also being helped efficiently and in a friendly manner by other wait staff. Food was good too. I honestly have no idea where the negative reviews come from. Either we just got lucky or the locals are trying to scare away us hotel guests. read more

This is the burned salmon piece. I can't explain how small it's I can bet anything this was not a proper size either. No more Applebees worst experience ever read more

Stopped in for a girls night out with my besties. I ordered the Asian salad with fried chicken and loved it. Everything tasted so fresh. We also ordered the appetizer of different items. Everyone enjoyed themselves and their food read more

it took a long time for somebody to take our order, waitresses walked by a few times before a couple told them we we were waiting. we didn't get our appetizer and the the service was slow, there were only 5 tables occupied.. read more

We were seated promptly, and our server came by a few minutes later with the menus. She also took our drink order. Our beers took a little long, but there was a group of riders there too who were keeping the bar tender busy. The restaurant was busy for a Monday, but the noise level was reasonable. Apps were 1/2 price, so we got the pretzels, which came out before our entrées. They were done nicely; hard crust and soft, warm inside. As we finished, our entrées came out. My wife had the burger, and I had the chicken, and both were good. Our server made sure we were doing well. Overall, just what you would expect. read more

Absolute the worst service I've ever had at a sit down restaurant. We were here nearly an hour before receiving our appetizer. There were hardly any people at the restaurant. read more

I know for a fact that service is the last thing on this Applebee's list. Ribs are also not there specialty, it more like barbecued bones " NO MEAT " to be found anywhere on the bone . Don't leave your seat , because when you come back you'll find your table cleaned off !!!. Will not be back !!!. read more

I'm afraid to eat at Applebees anymore but we're starving and in York Nebraska at the best western, it seems like everyone in on slow motion pills and kind of out of it. I'm going to get the soup so hopefully it will be edible! Kinda scary read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Tomato basil soup - American Near Me - York, Nebraska

Stopped at Best Western to stay and decided to go to Applebees since it was connected to the hotel! As soon as we walked in we were seated and even though they were short staffed we were waited on right away! I ordered a 6oz steak which was cooked Perfectly and my wife ordered half a slab of ribs which was also cooked Great! Service was Great, even my friend Walker Hayes would of loved this place ! read more

Pretty good Applebee's! Entrance was confusing because we weren't thinking we had to go in the main door because the sign is by the other door. Great food and service though. Spinach and artichoke dip with salsa was still just as good as any other Applebee's. Drinks were very good as well. I really enjoyed both of the summer special drinks! I wish my honey pepper chicken tenders had less sauce as well. I just don't like my pasta tasting that much like honey. read more

See all

Food is delicious. And the lady sat us down so fast, it doesn't sound like there's music but it's nice and quiet. Definitely recommend

We stopped for lunch on a Thursday. Freeway travelers not hotel guests. The hostess was engaged in a conversation with a co-worker and failed to notice our arrival for a couple of minutes or so it seemed. After being seated was told a waitress would be right over, well we were told that about three more times before one appeared. They were not busy at all and seemed to have plenty of staff. The food: my son had a bacon cheeseburger. The top bun was oily on top. Not exactly appetizing. The presentation looked good. He said it was lacking flavor. I had prime rib dip. The beef was way past well done. Cut with the grain, really! How incompetent do you have to be the get that wrong. It mostly fell out of the bun while trying to eat it. Flavor was okay but not great. The meat resembled beef jerky in shape. The fries, well they were great. Good flavor well seasoned. The ketchup was almost empty. Overall this was a disappointment. Seems like employees just don't bother with the important details. And whomever cut the prime rib should look into a career change or seek professional instruction. I'll maybe go to another applebee's but likely not this one. read more

I would give this 0 stars if I could. The food was absolutely inedible. They couldn't even make a simple vodka and tonic correctly. The service is poor. The food is gross. The restaurant is old, tired and in need of a deep clean. Eat here at your own risk! read more

I ordered online and the burger was ok but I had to go inside (no curbside) and it was crowded, low ceiling, nobody wearing masks but the employees, and I had to walk through the place to retrieve my dinner. If you are COVID vulnerable, maybe try a drive through instead. read more

Giving 1 star is the biggest joke. From the moment we walked in, the service was horrible. Our waitress was the most unhelpful and inattentive staff member who needs training on how to provide better customer service. Our food was cold after waiting 45 minutes. We didn't get any refills on our drinks. There was no dressing on my salad. We didn't have any spoons for our kids' applesauces. And the fries for my husband's meal came 20 minutes after his meal was served. Definitely never stopping here. read more

I saw bad reviews written but I didn't have any problem. Sat at the bar. Had a fine time. Bartender was friendly, and it was really clean. Attached to a hotel. Restrooms were in the hotel lobby. read more

What a joke. I ordered DoorDash. Completely missing my side of mashed potatoes and about 2.5 pieces of broccoli for the other side. My Caesar salad was a box of lettuce. No croutons, no Parmesan cheese, no dressing. Seriously? If I was in the physical restaurant I would have ripped up the check in their face. read more

1 star is generous. Waited twenty minutes for a table that was open and bussed the entire time. Then waited an hour and twenty minutes for my order of bone-in wings, which came out boneless. No one apologized and the manager did not say anything. The other person I was with also ordered wings as an appetizer, and we got those in under five minutes. But yet my exact same order of wings took an hour and twenty minutes and came out wrong? Haven't been to an Applebee's in years (because of course) and looks like I'll never be going back ever again. Thanks for the memories read more

I've been twice. I hoped the first experience was a sad fluke. After my second visit, I now realize I will not return. The good: Salad. Fresh, delish dressings- caesar, ranch, and lemon olive oil. However, ask for your dressing on the side. I love dressing, and it was at least twice the amount needed. Broccoli. Fresh, steamed to perfection- cooked through but still a bit of crunch. A little sweet. Not at all bitter. Garlic mashed potatoes. Yum. The bad: Almost always a wait- surely because it's attached to a hotel right off the interstate. So, lots of customers that have never been before to already know it sucks. Steak. So amazingly salty! Literally dipped mine in my water to glass to rinse off the majority before it was edible. And, I'm the person that most people complain that I use too much salt! read more

Part two: Applebees is disgusting The steak was still moo-ing I didn't know 3 pickles were extra pickles The waitress took my honey mustard forgot our Ranches twice The waitress Had a complete attitude the entire time. The manager came over and had to ask us how everything was. The manager and the mozzarella sticks were the only reason the experience was enjoyable. read more

It was a busy New Years Eve and the experience was great. Food came out quick and my margaritas were to die for! The best part was the service. Everyone was happy, polite and hustled. Haven't seen this great service since pre-Covid. Thanks! read more

It took over half an hour for us to get seated when there were plenty of empty tables. They were clearly short staffed, so normally this wouldn't be enough for me to leave a review. As we were eating our meal, we overheard the manager talking down to one of the employees that seemed to have a disability. This employee was working very hard, and was extremely friendly and patient. From my perspective, they were doing nothing wrong. A manager should never talk to any employee like that, let alone one with a disability who wasn't doing anything wrong. Completely unacceptable, and extremely disappointing. Other than that, our server was great and food and drinks were good. read more

We were stuck in York for 2 days with no car so we had to eat at Applebee's. Now we were satisfied with some things but going 3 times in a row we noticed many inconsistencies for instance the French onion soup was amazing one night and the second night warm, not hot, and not so great. Not a lot of variety really. My husband wouldn't recommend it again but in a situation of "have to go"I would recommend it, the food choices certainly could have been worse. The Bloody Mary wasn't very good at all. The staff were nice and tried hard to satisfy but I do believe they were short staffed. Applebee's is consistently inconsistent we've seen clear across the country really. We've almost never had a great experience. I am quite limited on what I choose to eat so perhaps some of the more fatty high caloric items might be tasty. read more

A rating is required so consider the one star a gift! This is the worst Applebees I've ever been to and likely the worst option for dining in this small town. Service is slow and inattentive. Food took forever and was very disappointing. read more

This restaurant sucks bad! I pulled into the hotel "Best Western" and checked in. I thought that it would be convenient to have a meal in the restaurant inside of the hotel. NOT! It took forever to get service but that wasn't the problem. I ordered a meal and when it was delivered I could smell a foul odor coming from my plate. I knew that they had served me bad food and I can't help but think that the staff knew it too (the foul odor was strong). The waitress never came back to the table to see if everything was ok. That was a dead giveaway to me. I didn't eat it. I left and went to the skillet on the other side of the road. read more

I'm just passing through on my really long drive (NH - UT) and needed a break from the weather. For a lonely traveler 1200 miles from home, the bar was my desired seating choice. Bartender Amy was very busy, but still engaged all her customers. I had a grilled chicken caesar salad and it was the most beautiful thing I've eaten since NY. (Keep in mind that I ended up in the ER in Ohio with a virus and haven't been able to eat much in two days.) As I watched the staff interact with each other I realized that they have it together. They communicate well with each other and seem to respect each other. Five stars for a great meal, great service (while busy), and a positive environment. Well done, Applebee's! read more
