Several customers were waiting on ice. Guess what they have a drive through with ice but no wait staff figured out how to actually get some ice to the waiting customer' cups? The chicken was excellent as were the side items, but a little bit more customer service and perhaps an apology for a very long wait, would have went a very long way to making this a better visit.....

On a roll about 5" long with some lobster meat . The baby back ribs ..SOME OF THE WORST i have had. Definitely not flaking off the bone. As a matter of fact they were dry and chewey. Not at all tender. And as a note to management: throwing a lot of sauce on top doesn't make the ribs underneath any better. These were not freshly cooked. I will not be back......

It is a place the majority of our city avoids!! No good…read morestaff ever!! Worst service I have ever received in any Applebees and I'm originally from DETROIT!!!!! These staff members are terrible!! The restaurant would do better if they took it seriously... Everyone leaves Hartsville to go to Florence because of this terribly run restaurant!! Just an embarrassment Blowing a golden opportunity to pull in more people since Hartsville is growing and new people are moving in at a high rate... I'm unfortunately... this location just sucks!!! No end in sight either...

The service was better than I would have expected, very attentive and on top of things . Would have given a five star except I didn't eat any food and I don't like being called boss man , probably a generational or area term . Other than that professional and attention to detail! Keep it up and you should make a 4 star!

The service is also excellent - I was late to pick up my coffee one day, and it was remade for me upon my arrival at no extra charge, just to guarantee freshness.

Came with 3 decent sized hand breaded tenders, choice of 1 side, we went with hand cut fries and a dipping sauce. Unfortunately they gave us basic ranch when we asked for the pineapple habenaro which was disappointing. The other plate was the Spy dog box. 2 hotdogs with chilli and onion rings. The dogs were loaded with chilli and a fork was definitely needed. We had requested cheese on the dogs but this was missing. The onion rings were phenomenal. Light crispy batter cooked to a golden brown and not a bit greasy. All in all, we enjoyed our food. It more than filled us up. A shame the sauce and toppings were missing. For the 2 plates and a Pepsi it came to just under 20$.

No greeting, no acknowledgement whatsoever. Male employee counting dollar bills on counter. Did not say anything to me. I requested my curbside order. Told 'when I've done counting". Um, No! Got my order. No apology for not being brought to curbside. No thank you. Nothing. Food:- Orders pork belly tacos with FFs. $10.99. 2 small soft taco with 3 inch strip of pork, queso, pico and spicy ranch. Flavorless is an understatement. Only thing that had any taste was the question which dominated the dish. No pico or spicy ranch anywhere. FFs were cold and soggy. Also ordered the half BBQ chicken plate with 2 sides and hushpuppies and choice of sauce. $13.99 I went with collard greens and onion rings. Again food was cold. The hushpuppies would have made great golf balls. The collars were swimming in juice despite me requested they be drained well. The chicken had a good tangy glaze, unfortunately it was only on the skin which was not crispy but rather soft and unappealing. The chicken itself was reasonably tender seeing how it was cold. The BBQ sauce had not flavored the chicken meat which lacked any flavor at all. I had requested silverware, napkins etc along with my choice of BBQ sauce. All of which were missing from my order. To sum up. Poor service, lack of attention to order requirements, food not kept under warmer, overpriced and most importantly, flavorless. Doubt I will recommend to any family and friends.
