Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Okay first off the chicken penne alfredo barley had any Alfredo sauce on it, my mother wanted broccoli with her steak and got corn instead, the waitress knew about it and didn't do anything to change it. My grandmother ordered a steak medium well and my brother ordered a steak medium rare, when they brought the food out the waitress screwed up and gave my grandmother the medium rare and my brother the medium well. I ordered a water with my meal and I finished my water within 5 minutes of ordering and had waited 30 minutes for it to be filled, after the 30 I had to go to the bar and have them fill my glass. The restaurant wasn't even busy! After eating, the waitress tried carrying all of the dirty dishes by herself and ended up spilling coffee everywhere and dropping a container of ranch dressing, didn't even wipe off the table for us. I will never go back to this establishment again. Tear down this Applebee's and build a TGI Fridays in stead.

Our server was amazing. She was on top of everything we needed. Great service. The food was ok. I must say the portions were a lot smaller than I think they should have been for the price we paid for them but overall it was a great experience.

I don't have anything against Applebees and don't have any complain about the food but my complain is about this particular Applebees in Galesburg IL. The racism there is a biggest issue. I went there for one time and couldn't stand how people were staring at us and we waited for 20 minutes for someone to comes and take our order. The staff were very rude with unpleasant attitude toward us. So we couldn't stand how people and staff were giving us evil looks and had to leave. The problem is not only with this restaurant but with the whole town. I think people should be treated equally no matter where are they from or what color are they but this is so sad to see in 2013 there are still many places that you need to be a specific race to fit in. I was not treated good at all in this and I regret going there and will not go there at all.

Came for dinner on Labor Day. We picked the 2 @ $20.00 menu. They were out of at least 2 of the appetizers. Manager(?) came to our table and apologized. Appetizers we did order came out, followed by our entrees at the same time. Waitress wanted to know if we wanted to have entrees kept warm. We declined. Food was typical Applebee's.

When I think of big chain restaurants I think of mediocre food and would only go there if I hadd to. But when your in Galesburg, a chain restaurant is probably one of the better choices. I have had bad experiences with other Apple Bee's but this one in particular is FANTASTIC. In my opinion, it is one of the best restaurants in Galesburg. The service is ehh but the food is delicious. I always get the streak with shrimp and cheese on top. Most of the time, they cook my steak perfectly. Once i got the steak a little under cook but i'll let that slide. Their shrimp spinach salad is one of the best salads I have ever had. I'm not even a fan of salad. What I do dislike about this restaurant is that sometimes you have to wait a long time before the food actually comes. Do I have to show my body in order to get faster service?!?! I almost docked a star because of that reason but being in Galesburg, this is as good as it gets so I left it on. Galesburg - terrible "city"

Never allow yourself to forget that Applebee's is waging total and unrelenting war against your circulatory system, with thunderous salvos of cheese and bacon. Resist. Do not fear to defend yourself. The price of a meal at Applebee's is eternal vigilance -- but if you tread warily through the minefield of a menu, you may yet find a meal combination that will not send you directly to the cardiac unit, groaning feebly as you sign the credit slip. Anyway, it's not a dump, and my server was nice.

We normally love AppleBees but this one was horrible. We were passing through town. I ordered my favorite pasta dish that I've gotten so many times elsewhere. It was disappointing!! The noodles were mushy and a pile of nasty goo. I sent it back and asked for another. So quickly another dish came out. The noodles on the outside were done but again the noodles in the middle were nasty. I ended up not eating and went done the street and got Wendy's... Not even an apology from the waitress!!

It's official. Crapplebee's stinks everywhere - even in Jabumfarts, IL. The bloody mary was forgettable and the "appetizer sampler" was pathetic. We were one of four tables and our waiter couldn't wait to scoot us out of there. I think he needs to read his handbook, get some more flair, and step up his game! Why did I think this time would be different? Silly me.

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. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
