Applebee's Grill + Bar

Got to the restaurant.. the hostess said wait time was between 15-20 minutes, which was understandable considering that they have a4 to 5 group of people in front of us. Each party not bigger than 4 people per group. We waited 30 minutes to get our table. Once we were seated. It took over 10-15 minutes for the waitress to say acknowledge us and all that she said. Was… “I will be with you in a second” 10 minutes passed by and the hostess have to get our drinks order and what we wanted to order to eat. 25 minutes passed and the waitress came to our table for the first time to confirm our order. After that another 30 minutes passed by and the only think that the waitress brought us was a refill for our drinks. Almost an hour later they finally brought the wings.. and the place was not even that busy.. a lot of tables were empty.. and people waiting to be seated.

Absolutely awful ????. Took my husband and parents today at 1:40. Place was empty except for 4 tables. We were seated and the server came by the table and she would take care of us in a minute. She came back, we ordered our food, apps and 4 entrees. More patrons came in and were seated. After 40 minutes, only had 2 iced tea, 2 water, she comes to say she forgot to put our order in and apologized claimed she was busy. Another 15 minutes, we got up and left, my parents were hungry as we all were. She came to the door after we got in the car, to ask did we pay for. Our drinks. 2 water, 2 iced tea my husband went and left 5.00 on the table. Worst service, clueless host. Don't waste your hard earned money.

What a horrible experience! I don't expect much from Applebee's so the bar was set low. I got the easiest thing to make on the menu (fried shrimp and fries) and my daughter had a pizza off the kids menu. They didn't even try! Food was BLAND!! Took almost 30 minutes to get 1 drink. Listen I know everyone is short staffed so I expect to wait a bit but almost 30 minutes for a drink? On a Saturday afternoon 12ish? This has to be a franchise store this can not be a corporate store if so this store needs help, New management or something. I will never return and caution those who are reading this review to this twice maybe even 3 times before dinning here.
