Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Austin

We came by to eat dinner and it took over 20 minutes for our waitress to come by our table and acknowledge us. When we finally did get a waitress to our table she took our food and drink order and then we proceeded to wait 15 minutes for our drinks some drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive to the table. 20-30 minutes after getting our drinks out we get our food which was very mediocre so it doesn’t make sense why it took so long to recieve it if it was cold and mediocre but I digress. We waited over an hour after eating to get our check. We never got any drink refills our server (Ryan) never came back to check on us (she wasn’t the one to bring us out food) she avoided us for the longest time ever. Nobody ever came by to see if we were satisfied or anything of the sort. When we finally did spot our server after waiting an hour to get our check we informed her we were ready to go and wanted the check and she said okay ran to the back disappeared for over 5 minutes and was seen minutes later on the other side of the restaurant turning chairs. I asked another waitress for our check and a manager she said okay and every single staff member disappeared off the floor after my asking for a manager. After about 10 minutes our server Ryan comes back and asks (what’s the problem) as she’s standing at the computer, she was informed yet once again that we want the check as we’d been waiting on the check for over an hour and that’s when she tells us that she transferred our table to another server whom we were never introduced to or made aware of. (How are we supposed to know that if literally nobody spoke to us after we received our food) The only other server that was on the floor at the time had every single other table that was in the restaurant at that time. So after not being offered refills and being ignored by our servers we were finally able to leave this establishment and pay our bill but of course not without issue. The service here was atrocious and the treatment by the staff (specifically Ryan)...

My husband and I were meeting a friend for dinner. We wanted a diverse menu with some dinner specials which would hopefully be toddler friendly. We had a very attentive waiter and the food was actually truly good. It arrived as it was made so everything was hot and we kinda are in stages as well enjoyed the quieter ambiance. Our toddlers shared a quesadilla kids meal( under $8) with some broccoli and it was plentiful. The broccoli was well cooked and seasoned. Both kids left full and content. The Portion size was great. Husband and I shared a 2 for 25 dinner; I had burger w/ fries and he chose chicken fingers w/ fries. We decided on monzerella sticks for the appetizer. We all shared the appetizer because it was also an abundant portion size and the waiter provided all the dipping sauces we wanted. He was also prompt with drink refills, removing plates as we completed food and all staff was good with the toddlers. Everything we had was delicious and well made. We also indulged in the chocolate lava cake which we all shared because it was a great portion size. With inflation and costs rising over all, it's rare to enjoy a family meal for under $60 and leave feeling satisfied and well attended ( depending on eatery setting) The reason for not giving 5 stars is because the cleanliness of the restaurant needed some attention but it wasn't on a nasty level. It was primarily the bathrooms and carpet which would benefit with the further cleaning. Bryan V was our server. I don't remember the names of the other staff but...

I never really enjoyed Applebee's, but I found myself eating here about a week ago. I was already expecting the worst, and my expectations were definitely met. There was only one waitress working and many tables were filled with customers. Overall, the service was very slow, our drinks even took probably 10+ minutes to come out.

The food was just not good. My friend got the Alfredo with hot chicken tenders, and she said that they were soggy as if they had been microwaved, and overall the pasta and sauce were also disappointing. The photo on the menu deceived her, especially considering that dish is $17. With food this bad, you'd expect it to at least be cheap...

I am a vegetarian and am used to not having many options when going out, but almost everything on the menu at Applebee's has meat in it. There are salads, but they also have meat, and I would expect the vegetables to be soggy and old anyway, so I wouldn't bother ordering that. Overall do not recommend for vegetarians, or meat eaters for that matter. I don't think anyone should go here for food. Maybe drinks, but even then my drink was so sweet I couldn't even drink it.

With the value of what you're getting for the price, id recommend taking your hard earned money literally anywhere else where you can get more bang for your buck.

Additionally, the collages on the walls are an amusement to say the least. Walking in here feels like you're stepping back to the 90s, even with the music they play, for...
