Applebee's Grill + Bar — Restaurant in Warner Robins

Southwest Chicken Bowl review and staff. The Southwest Chicken Bowl first of all is a dish that can not make its mine up of it's a salad or if it's a burritobowl. The name southwest usually indicates it will have some kind of kick or spice to the meal. That is not the case. It was very bland in flavor and was way under seasoned. The guacamole, pancetta sauce, and corn mix should have added additional flavors but mixed together still was quite underwhelming.

When I say this dish is confused with its identity of either a salad or deconstructed burrito it really is. The bottom of the bowel was packed with under cooked and under seasoned rice, and the top was loaded with lettuce that was cut almost to quarter size from the head of lettuce, as well as the leaves where not separated which left large chucks of lettuce to large to place your mouth and felt like the only flavor in the bite was lettuce itself.

The chicken itself was way to small of a portions to the bowl and not enough to enjoy the less than enthusiastic flavorless chicken in every other bite. I added fresh crushed sea salt and to limes to the dish before any flavor was enhanced enough to feel like I had a somewhat prepared meal. This dish was not what we have come to know and love as a southwest dish but with the lime and sea salt was more of a Mediterranean flavor in taste. This dish would be better paired with the lime and sea salt and served with a nice grilled white fish or fried fish.

I was disappointed in the dish and it lacked the luster, care, and proper preparation need to make this dish worth ordering again or enjoying.

The service tonight was very disappointing as well. I pressed the service button on the monitor on the table after several failed attempts to get our server. The store Manager came to the table after several minutes and actually served us.

Over all not what I expected for service nor for the meal I ordered. There was no follow up by wait staff until we were ready to go. The waitress even removed our tablet from or table so we could not call for service nor get service while we where there.

Results: Not what expected, no follow up from staff, lacked flavor and was way underwhelming. Not worth...

All I can say is DO NOT go on a Sunday night! My wife and I went out for a date night last night (2/18/24) and we were both excited about it because this doesn't happen unless it's our anniversary. So, we get there and walk in and there's no line and we're thinking this is perfect timing, the only tables/booths that are filled are around the bar area, so we both think that we'll get seated quickly and get our order in so forth! We stood there for 10 min and never saw a hostess to greet us much less tell us there was a wait or how long so on and so on, not to mention the various staff members (waiters) we saw standing at the back of the bar not doing anything, even as far as greeting us and even acknowledging the fact we were even there! In frustration we walked out and sat in the car for a minute or so and finally decided to go back in and give it another go, only because another couple had walked in there! But upon our re-entry that same couple was walking back out and the gentleman relayed to me that there was a 40 min wait because they only had 2 servers and the bar was not open and there was literally no one in the lobby waiting for a table! So, my wife and decided to go to Olive Garden on Watson blvd., where we immediately greeted and promptly seated and I tell you what our waitress was the absolute best waitress I've experienced! Not to mention the manager stopped more than once to check on us and make sure everything was OK! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE! I'm not one to do reviews but after that experience, and I really had my heart set on Applebee's, I already knew what I wanted (bourbon street steak and a blondie brownie afterwards), I had to let you know that I was...

My cousin had told me that this place was not great, but I wanted to give it a try and see for myself what kind of experience I would have here. When we got there at 9:00 p.m. we were told that there would be a 30 minute wait which was fine. Then the 30 minute turned into a 45 minute rate. The host was professional but I would not say necessarily approachable. Once we were seated, our waiter Rebecca was very energetic. However, I ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri and apparently they use a sweet and salt mix which I never heard of and it made my entire drink completely salty and as a nonalcoholic, I thought I may have gotten a drink with alcohol. Our appetizers came out in a good amount of time, but the salads and drinks came out rather late and I had to change my order to a water. It was going on 10:30 p.m. and we still had not received all of our food and it was coming in pieces. Then my rack of ribs got rung up as riblets and I had to wait on those to cook as the right order and for my last side to come in with my significant other's food. It was going on 11 before we finally got everything. At that point I asked for 2 boxes and was ready to go. I do not think this dining experience was at least decent and probably won't go back on...
