Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Altus

We were traveling through town with a picky eater on a Sunday. There aren't a lot of options in Altus and even less on a Sunday. Applebees has all the basic staples of American food like chicken tenders and burgers so almost anyone raised on cheap food could find something there. With that said Applebee's is not cheap for what you get...

There is something missing that just makes Applebee's not worth it. I am not even sure if it was this location's fault. We were a 3 different family group and got seated right away. The restaurant didn't seem busy but had a few couples sitting in the booths. I would say it was at 20% capacity. The staff was friendly but didn't jive with our group. It took a while to get drinks to our table. Getting their attention after the initial order collection was difficult for example we didn't have silverware for my seat.

Usually when there is a large group and everyone ordered different items there is a moment when the food comes to the table that you have an envious feeling. The moment when you might feel you ordered the wrong thing because the person next to you got something with an amazing presentation and you can imagine asking them if you can try a bite...that feeling was not there at all.

The item I ordered looked just as boring as everyone else's. The food tasted okay but the consensus was nothing worth coming back for. For example even something as basic as a tender salad was just served with lettuce, cut up chicken strips and barely any tomato. Even Walmart's premade salads have sliced boiled egg and some diced carrots just something that added to the presentation at a cost of 8.00. I think the boring salad was over 15 at this location.

The Applebee's offering is lame and I think it just makes the staff not excited about their job and just makes the mood at this location to be ho-hum.

I won't come back especially not for the price and food quality. If you own stock in this company sell it because there is no future with...

I very rarely leave negative reviews but on this occasion I could not pass. I am a teacher and live in Edmond, I had a special Saturday evening planned at Quartz Mountain Resort for my wife and I's 21 year anniversary. We drove in a day earlier to visit with her family and take them to dinner. My wife received a few gift cards for Applebees for the Holiday and her favorite place is Applebees. Most places near us in OKC have closed we told our family we were taking them out to dinner when we got there.

So, GC was totaled for 125.00. We enjoyed the dinner, atmosphere was fine, server was ok and then we received our bill. My wife gave her the gift certificates and said we would pay for the rest (total was 140) She returns and tells my wife that they are not taking gift certificates due to computer issues and that we were suppose to be told at the door, which we were not. I simply asked if I could speak to a manager and her reply was, "He is just going to tell you the same things and to be honest we are having difficulties taking credit cards as well." So, for a couple on a budget I had to pay 140 and even included a 20 dollar tip. Sorry however, this was rather shocking to me, we were excited to be able to treat some of our family to dinner and use cards and at the end they simply just say, "We are not taking those right now?!" Just thought it was poorly handled and could have at least taken something off our bill."...

Im from out of town and started my night at Val's It's About Time. Had to seat myself and couldn’t for the life o me get a drink or food order in, in close to 45 min in an 80% empty restaurant. I think one of the waitresses hated my face too cus i got the stink eye. Mind you noone actually ever talked to me.

Went to Applebee’s. Food was meh and no horse radish for my steak but all was cooked and seasoned very well. I avoid chains usually when out of town. But when i do, i pre lower my standards to an appropriate level. That said, the bartender saved my day. Gladis was friendly, attentive, (my drink got refreshed the second i took the last sip and not a moment before) and non invasive. She also had a drink in my hand and my order taken in under 2 min from me walking in the door. Weird night. Val's It's About time (Ha! I get the name now, cus they make you wait... i see what they did there) has awesome reviews and i got an actually insulting level of service. Applebees had generally bad reviews but i had a more pleasurable dinning experience than iv had in weeks on the road. Three cheers for ignoring reviews, just tryin places for yourself and forming your own opinions! P.S. To Applebee’s managers, give Gladis R a raise. Shes...
