Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Boone

Where do I begin.. me and my 93 year old mother were enjoying our Easter Sunday tradition at the applebees bar. I had just ordered a pitcher of dollaritasand mother had submitted her double order of deep fried chilli cheese ribblets. Around this time mother indicated she needed to get to the restroom immediately. On our way, an Applebee's waitress asked my mother to silence her cell phone which was ringing at high volume and playing her signature ringtone - "having a roni" by Vanilla Ice. By the time we made it to the men's restroom we discovered an Applebee's employee hogging the handicap bathroom stall. I asked politely for him to hurry up, as mothers wheel chair would not fit in the standard stall. The employed barked back that he was on break for another 21 minutes and that he hopes my mother can quote "clench those cheeks until then". Desperate and racing the clock, I hoisted mother onto the countertop. Within seconds she was spewing chucks all over the sink and counter. The Applebee's employee proceeded out of the stall at this point with his e cigarette in hand - he immediately screamed and asked what the hell was wrong with me. Forcing mother into an extreme state of embarrassment. She had blown chunks all over the mirror and walls and the employee scampered out without offering any assistance in cleaning. As I stood there completely and utterly deflated, a customer opened the restroom door and scoffed "the beef stew is meant in the dining room and not on the bathroom walls". It was at this moment I realized the highly processed toilet tissue was causing mother to have an allergic reaction. Covered in feces and having my dignity diminished I administered my mother an Epi pen in the Applebee's restroom on Easter Sunday. In this moment of absolute depravity, I could not help but feel relatively civilized in relation to my couch bound viewing of Jesus Christ superstar taking place 5 hours later. When we cleaned ourselves and returned to the bar, the ribblets were waiting on mother. I advised she take them home however she wanted to eat in the restaurant. By the time we returned to the parking lot we quickly realized mothers 1999 Buick LeSabre had been confidently towed. In this moment mother looked at me and said - I need to go to the restroom again. Overall the riblets were fantastic and the dollaritas were unmatched for a half ass college town. We will definitely be back - mother in diapers next...

DONT APPLY TO APPLEBEES IF YOURE IN COLLEGE

The managers here don't know how to run a business. They are understaffed and the management team does nothing to solve this issue. They had 3 people working as hosts (and we were all hired the same day about 3 weeks ago). Before that, they had 3 hosts, one of which quit and the other two just switched positions within the store. The 3 new hosts all asked for minimal shifts. The management team still decided to switch the positions of the other 2 hosts, which ended up screwing us newbies over. The managers set us up for failure. As an employee there, I was told they would be able to work around my school schedule. But when I asked for less hours because I don't have enough time for school, I simply got bitched at to the point of tears. Bobbie jean, the general manager, then went on to tell me how I'm supposed to manage my time OUTSIDE of work. Bobbie does not see me outside of work. Bobbie does not know how I manage my time. I literally was scheduled to work every shift this weekend, because Bobbie allowed the only 2 other hosts to both take the weekend off. I had a paper and a project assigned on Friday that are due on Monday. I even had my stepsister in town to visit from Wilmington, and since the other 2 hosts had the weekend off, I spent a total of like 4 hours with her. And Bobbie just told me to suck it up because I "asked for it"

So, to anyone thinking about working at THIS Applebee's,...

So I just got to Boone, North Carolina to start a project for the next two years and immediately learned that I will never go back to Applebees.

Mark M. Behind the bar couldn’t have been more into himself and unappreciative of anything going on around him.

I got the 2 for $25. Not only did it all come out at the same time, but my to go bag had no plastic silverware condiments nothing. I mean everything came out at the same time. No time to enjoy my appetizer. He kept pushing Everything out. The lady who brought my food could care less about anything going on in the restaurant as four daughters of the restaurant employees were up in a corner eating and taking their time. And that was all they cared about. I tried to tell her I had no silverware, but she’s up eating with the kids, everybody was up with the kids. They could care less about the customers in the restaurant.

I was planning on staying for at least two or three beers. Before I could even get my second beer sipped on I got the check. I was hoping to order dessert as I walked there from the hotel. I was gonna spend a little bit of time. But no,

There was four people at the bar. They probably have room for about 20 total so they were very dead at the bar. All he could care about was getting his tip and getting me the hell out. Unprofessional, rude as hell and I’ll...
