Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Toledo

Let's be honest. Restaurants operate for a profit. What do you think the profit margin is of a table of four or six compared to one single diner? I get people out. I get absolutely worn out with my phone never stopping and emails constantly coming I am a national speaker. I travel all over the country. I came here to have some time to myself with an enjoyable meal. As happens occasionally when I dine alone or attempt to I'm really not welcomed. For the reason I stated at the beginning of this review. To be fair this restaurant was busy on Friday night October 20th at 9:47 p.m. yet I can only be fair to an extent. What happened was inexcusable. I still there for 17 minutes with different staff members walking by me without one greeting without one acknowledgment without one employee telling me somebody will be with me. I still there wondering if I recently lost so much weight that I'm not visible. Lol. Four very rude people acting extremely aggressive with loud music in their hands walked in and physically brushed against me so they could get in front of me and within seconds when they stood there, not even 30 seconds later, they were greeted by the manager. Wendy's four people did this I stood aside just watching what was happening. I was so unbelievably angry. I bit my lip because I'm an old man and believe me these people were quite the opposite. A young man and young woman were next behind me and then they were greeted by the manager. After these two groups were taking care of the manager finally acknowledged my presence and I explained him what had happened. And I told him let's face it you're going to make a lot more money off of them than you will me. I did not stay. And I won't be back. What is interesting is that I speak to large groups and when I do so locally I always hire a company for catering as I did this past Tuesday night. Imagine that profit margin from one person who is responsible for 45 people being fed....

We went to this location because we’ve had a good experiences in the past, but this time was very different. We went around 5ish and despite it being dinner time on a Saturday it wasn’t very busy. The floor was sticky walking to our table, the table was stickier still. Our waiter was friendly when he showed up, I ordered the espresso martini, but after 20 mins of waiting, our waiter came back to say they didn’t have some ingredient needed to make it so I ordered a strawberry margarita. There’s no price on the drink menu, so it was only when we got the bill that we saw my small glass margarita was $11.25!! My husband got some mixed summer drink in a huge fish bowl glass and it was only $7. They had a special, $.50 mozzarella sticks so we ordered a lot, I love them and whatever we didn’t eat, we’d take home for later. When the first 10 came out, they looked sad, the breading was sort of falling off the cheese and our waiter never brought us napkins or silverware. I had to go to the stand where another waitress was standing to get utensils and napkins. After our first drinks we ordered 2 draft beers. The waiter came back asking if we were finished and we asked for the rest of our mozzarella sticks. Those came 10 minutes later, no beers though. We ate the rest of our mozzarella sticks and still no beers. No waters. After our food was gone, and still no drinks, we just canceled them. The atmosphere seemed sad, or run down. Even though our waiter was friendly, he wasn’t very attentive, left our dirty plates on our table while we waited for our next order of mozzarella sticks and left our empty drink glasses, which should’ve been a sign we needed something new to drink, but he never asked, we had to ask for new drinks which never came. We won’t be coming back to this location. Fortunately there’s a couple within a few miles of our house and perhaps we’ll have better luck with a different location at some...

Firstly I haven’t been to Applebees in years I don’t know why I stopped and when I did go it was the one out Maumee but anywho sat at the bar with my sisters and the bartender was phenomenal. I was being one of those picky pregnant women and she kept her patience and composure with me and remained with a smile on her face. I changed my order twice so her tip was well deserved. I ordered the blackened salmon w green beans and macaroni. I usually be basic and get a burger and fry but been craving seafood. I also got shrimp Alfredo w a side of the new powdered doughnuts as dessert. The salmon was good just needed seasoning and I never had blackened salmon. The green beans taste rubbery so I didn’t eat them. The macaroni was different because of the color and I never had macaroni with penne noodles. It needed seasoning as well but was still decent. The Alfredo noodles were a little over cooked/too soft and the sauce was majorly creamy and cheesy and it could’ve had a little more shrimp but I tore up the garlic bread had to order some to go😂. I also had a virgin strawberry daiquiri with cool whip which was sour and bitter. It needed some type of sweetener but once I mixed the cool whip it taste a little better though it was creamy. The doughnuts were toooooo sweet for me though I still took them home to coat with some ice cream to get rid of some of the sweetness. Overall it wasn’t really a bad experience at this Applebees. The waitress/bartender name is “bre R” you guys should check her out And I think she was new and just started so she most definitely made me give it a 3 star instead of a 2. Would recommend and I definitely would have to try something else on their menu I also feel like they should update their menu for those who are pregnant and would like a non alcohol drink besides...
