Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Carson City

Absolutely! Here’s an over-the-top, life-saving review about Wade:

Title: Wade Literally Saved My Life – An Unbelievable Hero at Applebee's!

I can’t even begin to express how much gratitude I feel for Wade, the waiter at Applebee’s who literally saved my life. What started as a simple dinner out with friends turned into a life-changing experience, thanks to Wade.

It all began when I accidentally choked on a piece of steak. I couldn’t breathe, I was panicking, and I thought I was about to pass out. I frantically waved my arms for help, and in that moment, Wade was there in an instant. Without hesitation, he swooped in like a seasoned pro and performed the Heimlich maneuver with the precision of a medical expert. Within seconds, the food was dislodged, and I could breathe again. I honestly don’t know what would’ve happened if he wasn’t there—he was my absolute hero.

But wait, it doesn’t stop there. After I caught my breath, Wade didn’t just walk away like it was no big deal. He stayed by my side, made sure I was feeling okay, and even offered to bring me a calming drink (which I gladly accepted). Then, to ensure my complete recovery, Wade went above and beyond—he brought out a special dessert on the house, with a little note that read, "You're my hero, too!" I couldn’t believe the kindness.

Wade wasn’t just a waiter; he was a lifeline. He made sure I had water, he checked in every few minutes to see how I was feeling, and honestly, I left feeling like I had a new best friend.

I am not exaggerating when I say Wade is not only the best waiter I’ve ever had, but he is truly a life-saving hero. If you’re ever at this Applebee's, do yourself a favor and request Wade—he’s the kind of person who makes sure you’re not just taken care of, but alive and thriving.

Wade, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I owe you my life, and tax and tip.

Came to Applebees to celebrate my sisters 18th birthday. If I could give this place 0 I would. I'm usually not the one to leave bad reviews if a place was mediocre. Everything was awful. Started out with drinks. My family ordered a pina colada and a new Halloween cocktail. The waiter checked my ID and mentioned I was from Texas and all of sudden he started to act funny and rude. I’m from Tahoe and was visiting family in Carson City. When we got the drinks The pina colada was pure sugar and tasted like it didn't have alcohol and I ordered a Dracula's blood and the waiter confirmed I had said Dracula's blood. He came back with a tipsy zombie which also tasted like it didn't have alcohol. We also ordered the wonton tacos and I've had these before and they are delicious but at this location they didn't not taste the same. They tasted like they had wing sauce on the chicken. Next we ordered a southwest bowl and everything was really spicy. I also had ordered a French onion soup and instead of bread I saw what seemed like croutons and was very salty. We also wanted a sampler appetizer and never got that either. After a few sips of my sugar juice and 2 wontons tacos my stomach hurt immediately, it was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Every single thing about our order was wrong or tasted bad. We will never come back. Not only that the waiter gave really weird vibes. Not sure if it was me being from Texas was the problem or my family in general but DO NOT COME HERE. And update. It’s 4 days later and I still have stomach problems and been hurting since. So I believe they messed with my food. Waiters...

Earlier this week we dropped in and had our usual meal. The time before one of the servers was nice enough to stop by and say hello, and also notice that my mother usually (for the last two+ years) has been in a wheel chair, but that day she was using a cane for the first time out and about. Nice to see that the staff actually takes an interest in their customers. Most of the 'regular' waiting staff since before the C-1-9 are really great. This last week, the manager also noticed my mother not using the wheel chair (which was usually placed near the hostess desk), but instead she saw that mom had the cane! Very positive experience for my mother to be encouraged to continue getting better with people noticing that things are changing. On a side note, good to hear from the staff this week that Applebee's has reversed their decision to make coleslaw a "Condiment" and once again it is a "side" which can be swapped out for other options. Good call Applebee's corporate, Don't mess with your menu items that have been the same for 10-15+ years! You don't want to make your 'regular customers'...
