Sunday June 19th 2022.As we walk in, we are greeted by this gentleman. He seems possibly tired, maybe a recent highschool graduate. Not very eager to be at work on Sunday at 1130am.He reminds me of the nephew of Michael Scott from the office. Just wrong chair wrong person.As we sit, we ask for our drinks. Sweet tea arrives shortly, smoothie takes 10 mins. Oreo shake takes 30 minutes. Upon arrival, the shake looks great, upon tasting it....its ice blended with milk. Am so sad. Takes another 10 minutes to get water for the table.Food is decent. Some is dry. Some is delicious. Salad is great.As i finish writing this, dessert arrives.We ordered the "Sugar dusted donut dippers"Heres a picture of the menu vs the donuts.Today was supposed to be a great fathers day meal...it wasnt.
Came into the restaurant stomping my feet like a 3 year old having a tantrum, because Applebees in my town of Chelsea, Al is HORRIBLE. My husband was supposed to pull into Golden Corral next door, but glad he didn’t! Food was amazing and Dakota was AWESOME! Great service, fast, listened well to my tables special instructions with their meals. Everything was hot, flavorful, and fast to come out of the kitchen. And the drinks, they were amazing as well! Thank you, Dakota for an amazing experience. I guess I am no longer against Applebees on a date night lol!
When my family visited this establishment, we had a server named Dakota. He was the coolest and friendliest person that I have ever met in a restaurant. He was great with the kids. He knew the menu inside and out. He made sure that our order was correct and always was checking on us to make sure to see if we needed anything else. I would recommend Dakota to anyone I knew that was attending this area
I passed through on my summer vacation, not too long ago. Myself, my wife, my son, and daughter, all were extremely pleased with our meals. All of our orders were taken by a very well-mannered, young gentleman, who served with a smile and a polite, pleasant demeanor, named Dakota. He got all of our orders right, and with no complaints from the kids, that's saying a lot! Our food was cooked to perfection. So, upmost compliments to the cooking staff. Everything was brought to us in a timely manner, and we never had to worry about an empty glass, thanks to our magnificent waiter, Dakota. If there's one sure way to win me over, it's to keep my drink full, because I have an almost unquenchable thirst!!I would highly recommend this particular Applebee's to anyone that I meet. And, if I ever find myself back in Brandon, Florida, I assure you that I will be stopping back by for another meal, and requesting the same waiter. You've got an extremely satisfied, and life-long customer in me.I'd give you all 10 stars if I could. But since that's not an option, I will have to settle for 5. Props to Applebee's management and staff. You all are definitely on your A-Game.
I ordered our dinner online for carside service. No one was even watching as I sat there for 10 minutes and finally went in to get my order. I waited another 7 minutes once inside. The service was very poor and I doubted I would ever go back. However, the food was so good. We ordered the bourbon chicken and shrimp. I had the garlic mashed potatoes and my hubby got the cheesy broccoli. We got a cheeseburger kids meal for my mom and she enjoyed it. They redeemed themselves with delicious food but the service....not great all.
Came here for a quick meal. Sat outside since we had our dog with us. Food was good and the waitresses were the sweetest. They pampered our pup with pets and ice water. We are glad we came here!
I'm giving one star because Applebee's screws over their waitresses. Their "suggestion" on tips is way off compared to the bill total. I even went so far to prove it by writing it on the receipt and going to a different restaurant (NOT Applebee's) their tip examples are correct. EVERY Applebee's is like this and their corporate needs to fix this problem!!!!!
The Whiskey burger is heavenly? The fireball infused barbecue sauce that they put on top is so tasty...sweet but leaves a little tangy taste on your tongue. Fries were cooked well and the portions were perfect. Waitress was on point. The boneless chicken wings well I'm not even sure if I would call them edible...tried the buffalo and garlic parmesan, after one bite of each...I was not putting them anywhere near my lips again. Check had to be corrected 2 times before it was right and no not due to discounts as I did not complain about the so called chicken as it's total was only$2..
After being seated quickly the rest of the experience went down hill. 50 mins into our meal we received our appetizers. And approximately 10 minutes later we were told that they were out of my daughter's meal choice. Mind you after we'd been there for an hour. I guess we should've known better when the two booths on either side of ask were asking for a manager due to complaints. We won't be returning anytime soon.
Dakota was a great server when we were there the other night!! Great job!!
