Applebee's Grill + Bar

Amazing how far Applebee’s is falling. Used to love going to the place, but the food is like eating cardboard with not enough seasoning on it. I when you’re at a restaurant you have one thing to do and that’s the serve food that your people will come back for not the case so much anymore.

Order our food was one other couple there. Food came and stuff wasn’t right my dish was very poorly made and had very little amount of food for a dinner entree took over 5 minutes for the server to come back for me to tell him. Then his manager says wow yeah that’s not right not only that was missing my bread stick as well. So they remake it my family was done eating and we had done paid for everything before my food was finally brought out. As I told them just to make it to go since my family and my parents was done eating and ready to go. So I had paid for a meal that wasn’t even right that I didn’t even eat and even when I got home go to open it and there was a long hair in it. My daughter wouldn’t even eat it. Now I’m making my dinner at home after having to spend over 1 1/2 hours at your establishment just to not eat. Also the 1 drink we ordered was nasty and tasted watered down. Over tall super bad experience. All for well I’m sorry.

We ordered the wontons tacos and the appetizer platter. My kid got the Mac and cheese with apple sauce. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was alright. However, the place felt very sticky. Like the table was sticky, the floor was sticky. I just felt very sticky the entire time.

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with a recent carry out experience at your establishment. I had high expectations when ordering your Bourbon Street Steak and Lime Grilled Chicken, but what I received was not only underwhelming but downright unsafe. To my shock and dismay, both the Bourbon Street Steak and the Lime Grilled Chicken were served raw. Not slightly undercooked—completely raw in the center. This is not only unacceptable but also a severe health risk. Serving raw meat, especially chicken, can lead to food borne illnesses, and I am appalled that your kitchen staff allowed such a blatant oversight to reach me and my family. I am left to wonder whether customer safety is truly a priority. Applebee’s is a well-known brand, and I expect a basic level of quality and safety when dining at your restaurant. This experience has left me questioning whether your kitchen follows proper food safety standards. I am incredibly disappointed and concerned, and I believe that immediate action is necessary to address these lapses in food preparation and quality control.

My wife and I went to Applebee’s In Ocean Springs tonight and I have to say, it was a letdown. I ordered the barbecued ribs, and they were honestly the worst I’ve ever had. Instead of being tender and juicy, they were as tough as beef jerky—really disappointing. On the bright side, my wife got a steak and she enjoyed it, so at least one of us had a good meal. The service was friendly, but wow, it was super slow. No one checked on us during our meal, which was frustrating. I ended up having to flag down a passing server just to ask for the manager. On a positive note, the manager did comp my meal and also comped my wife’s cocktail, which was appreciated. To top it off, the restaurant was so cold that my wife and I kept our overcoats, gloves, and stocking caps on the whole time. We were freezing! Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would rate it one (maybe two) out of five stars. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to Applebee’s.
