We went here on Tuesday, 9/30 at 6:30 pm and this is the WORST establishment I have ever been to!! It took them an hour to seat us and then we sat for another our. Our order was never taken and to top it all off, we never were even offered water. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!!! It doesn't deserve the star I had to give it....

I'm guessing the older reviews haven't been back because Saturday lunch here was an awesome experience for me and my wife! The greeters opened the door for us and had the table ready as soon as we got there. The food was good but the real treat was our waitress. I wish I could remember her name! She worked the north booths on 10/05/13. Anyway she was nicest, sweetest waitress we've ever had! We will definitely go back!

Worst service ever and the food was terrible. We were completely ignored and had to ask for our waitress. She never did show up. The hostess came over and had to take our order. We waited almost an hour for our food and 1 person in our party had to wait even longer. We didn't order anything complicated. No one brought water or even asked us if we wanted any. When we finally did get our food, my potatoes were uncooked and the soup was lukewarm. I had to call the manager over and she offered to take the two soups off the menu. Not enough in my opinion. My cedar plank salmon was so salty I could hardly eat it. The fish and chips were mealy and there was way too much garlic on the shrimp. I will never go back and I would advise everyone else to do the same. I'm so disappointed because this Applebee's is in my neighborhood and we don't have much here but fast food joints. I'm very sad.

HORRIBLE! I've tried this location several times in hopes that things will get better and not travel to Crestwood, but it hasn't. One night, some friends and myself visited this location after rehearsal. Granted its late and I understand that you want to go home but this is your job. We were seated quickly but took 15 minutes just to get water.....20 to place our order. Actually, it took so long, I looked up the number, called the location, asked to speak with a manager and told her that we had been sitting for 20 minutes wating on someone to take our order. When the food finally arrived, in another 30 minutes, it was cold....we were done and all the manager did was not charge us tax!

Eh, it's a chain restaurant. Nothing awesome or anything to make note of. I will say that the service here is a little different than other Applebee's. It's not bad service, just typical of a busier restaurant. Waitstaff doesn't have time to hold your hand and listen to your life story. Not that they should. My food arrived on time, hot and how I ordered it. I got plenty of refills. No complaints.

went here 4 lunch the other day & had to wait at least 5 minutes before we got seated. a waitress walked past us & STILL didnt ask 2 seat us. wtf!? once we were seated our waitress was cool & attentive to our needs. we ordered the apple cinnamon turnover with vanilla ice cream which was pretty tasty! we tried the 2 for $20 even though the selection of entrees were not that great. we both ordered a chicken with pasta entrees & they were just ok, nothin special. the buffalo wings appetizer were better than the entrees. i havent written off applebees jus yet, but mayb we may have 2 try other foods on the menu instead.

Yikes... My boyfriend and I were looking to catch a later dinner, maybe a glass of wine...this Applebees just happened to fit the bill - or so we thought. We walked in and were seated quickly enough, and waited about ten minutes for someone to even come over (which in most circumstances, would be unexcusable, but we were taking our time at looking over the menu). When our waitress came up, she says (direct quote) - "Do you know what you want?" - in the snidest, most apathetic tone you can imagine (think of a snotty Fran Drescher). We were so shocked that we were speechless. We both sat there slack jawed before we could muster up "waters", so we could get enough time to jet-set outta that place. Sorry lady, didn't mean to screw up your schedule, you obviously have more important things to do than MAKE MONEY. We walked out. And will NEVER go back...

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak.
