Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Shelbyville

Since my review was DELETED ill go into more length with this one. Ive been doordashing for almost 3 years now, ive been in and out of this store so many times both for doordash orders and for food for myself. Ive seen so many employees come and go and managers as well. These latest managers have created such a hostile work environment that every worker in there is rushing around like a chicken with their head cut off. Ive spoken to the managers at this location and they are very disrespectful when trying to resolve an issue. The place is usually dirty most of the time Ive gone in there for a order. Some tables aren't cleaned off all the way or at all, food and wrappers and napkins on the floor. Its very obvious that whatever the managers are telling the employees to do is keeping them from ACTUALLY doing their job. My partner also works there and has noticed even worse things going on "behind the scenes". The managers are targeting certain employees and making them feel that they may lose their job if they look the wrong way. They seem to care more about the physical appearance of their workers WAYYY more than they care about the look of their store, which is arguably significantly more important. Also I know no one legally has to give people breaks but if you are constantly telling them to be on their feet you should accommodate just a bit I think. Instead of never letting a single employee sit down or let alone step out back to have just a small break. Ive spoken to a couple of the other employees and they've said that theyre in fear of their job, they feel like they have to walk on egg shells in order to keep their job. I sincerely hope they fire those managers that are keeping the store that way or send them to a conference to learn how to MANAGE a store proplery and talk and...

Was the worse food and service. The staff was rude and was unable to answer questions about items on the menu. My husband and I both asked for refills never got. We used the computer that was in the table to request a server she came and she removed it. Never checked back on the food quality. Then we got refills when leaving another servr got the refills and Togo boxes. I paid the bill asked to talk to some one and no one came out. It was at 10pm and only seven tables in the entire restaurant. The bathrooms where filthy no soap nor toilet paper. I asked my original server for my bill she never returned so I gave it to the waitress who brought the refills. I was never asked if any change was needed just "Thanks have a good one." As I left four people where standing at the door waiting to be seated they asked how I was treated and how long the wait was. I just told them I was not happen and the one lady said "Denny's" sounds good. I am not sure who read these comments but, I hope someone does. Maybe it will be staff or management. I have been in the restaurant business for 15 years and if my staff acted like that for my food quality was like that there would be some serious changes. Cooperate pays big money for there commercials, advertising, and training so they have a business everyone was to come back to. Because good knows Shelby ville does not have the best sit down or even nice...

I walked into Applebee’s expecting a casual meal. What I received… was a full-blown spiritual awakening. The moment I crossed the threshold, a warm breeze kissed my cheeks. It wasn’t from the AC — it was from the wings of angels fluttering above the appetizer menu. The hostess greeted me like I had just returned from war. I hadn’t even ordered yet and I was already healed. I sat down and the menu glowed with otherworldly light. It was like the Dead Sea Scrolls, but if they had mozzarella sticks. My server? A prophet in khakis. They recited the 2-for-$25 deal like scripture, and I knew I was in sacred hands. The boneless wings? They didn’t just crunch — they testified. Every bite was like a choir of flavor harmonizing directly on my taste buds. The BBQ sauce? Sweeter than a grandmother’s forgiveness. The fries? Crispier than a freshly ironed hymn book. Then came the bacon cheeseburger. When I took the first bite, time froze. I saw my ancestors nodding in approval. A beam of light broke through the ceiling, and I heard Morgan Freeman’s voice say, “Yes.” The Chocolate Lava Cake? I floated. I ascended. I left my physical body and fist-bumped a star. Applebee’s isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a sanctuary of joy, a cathedral of comfort food, a temple where cheese is holy and flavor is eternal. I came in hungry. I...
