Horibbleeeeeeee!!!!!! This was my 1st & last time at this location, when I walked in there was no host set up at the front so i was confused & had to ask someone at the bar where to go to be seated.
When directed to the host I asked if i could sit at a particular booth & her response was “No, No, No”.
Then I noticed a couple was waiting at the bar before I arrived must’ve requested it before me so she sat them there.
All she had to say was “A party asked for it before you but I will still try to accommodate you” the “no, no, no” is just soooo unprofessional.
The food was also HORRIBLE.
The fries were not good! The burger was overcooked with no flavor! The bun was stale! The only thing I enjoyed was the brownie bite smfh.
WASTE OF MONEY! The bathrooms are a mess & when I finally got a look of the manager it all makes sense! I worked at an applebees location 11 yrs ago & the manager would never allow this!!!! The host had to clean the bathrooms every hour on the hour & if there were ANY complaints we would get addressed immediately!! The most important part the chefs could actually cook! If anything was slipping the regional management would come in & get things together real quick.
I guess times have changed & this location needs some straightening asap !!

Food was horrible my salad was all trash pieces of romaine.
I had to send back the salad and my first steak because I ordered medium they brought me a well done steak.
The second steak (in the picture) was cooked right but tasted so bland and horrible.
The waiter was confused and very unprofessional laughing and joking instead of taking our orders and making us wait so he could talk to other employees.
DONT COME HERE and the place had hella flies.
