Applebee's poor food quality / horrible service

To keep it short and simple I was diagnosed with FOOD POISONING after eating at this place. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was EMPTY. Their food was spoiled and they still served it to me. This could be potentially dangerous if a kid or the elders eat it. Called the restaurant to speak to the manager and they said NO. Lady on the phone never gave me her name, she was extremely rude and never actually asked what I ordered or apologized. She ended hanging up the phone on my face. Be aware this place is disgusting.

Who diagnosed you? In order for a doctor to properly diagnose food poisoning and to point out the exact culprit is damn near impossible unless there is a large number of people also suffering the same symptoms from eating the SAME food from the SAME place. Simply put, anything you eat up to THREE days before you get sick could have made you sick. That is a scientific fact. Food poisoning is easy to diagnose, but hard to pinpoint the exact cause without a large number of cases.

For years my 14 yo daughter and I played trivia at our Middleburg Hts. Applebee's on Wednesday night. For years my daughter and I enjoyed pop and French fries or an appetizer. Apparently, the manager has the discretion to allow a minor to sit at the bar. I checked Ohio laws and it does not state a minor, who is accompanied by an adult, can not sit at the bar. I then traveled throughout the state of Ohio, my job requires it, and I spoke to bar owners and managers and everyone said, It is not illegal to have a minor sit at a bar when accompanied by an adult. It is a discretionary decision made by the management. I would think our good reputation and employee friendly demeanor would account for our loyalty to Applebee's. But after we were asked to leave the bar area and sit in the dinning area I felt insulted and embarrassed. My daughter said she felt as if her friends betrayed her. I can honestly say we were let down by the staff and manager. What a way to treat your loyal customers.

Applebee's food poisoned

Salutations:
The purpose of my letter is another attempt to notify management of my food poisoning; which occurred at my local neighborhood Apple B location 792 Glynn St N Fayetteville, GA 30214. I am a married father of three and work two full time jobs. My wife and I chose to spend our evening dining at your establishment on Thursday Feb 12, 2015. Within 45 minutes of leaving the restaurant I began violently throwing up the salmon and spinach meal. In the process of throwing up, I fainted and hit my head on my bathroom counter and floor resulting in a concussion.
The symptoms continued the next day Friday 2/13/15, I went to the emergency room at Piedmont Fayette. I underwent blood and CT scan diagnostics for the head trauma and food reaction. I was released in the evening on Friday around 7pm.. On my was home I stopped by the Apple B’s location to address the manager. The bartender Ms. Laquith S immediately recognized me from the previous night, greeted and asked me what happened to my head. After explaining, I told her I came to speak to the manager she proceeded to get the Kitchen and Bar manager to take my complaint. Neither of the managers came from the back to greet or address my concerns, in frustration I left the restaurant and called the general manager where I left a message.
As a frequent patron of this establishment, I am floored by the lack of response or interest by the management staff. I brought my family here at least once a month, we have overlooked undercooked (blood filled) wings served to our children. As a result of this incident I lost three days of work Friday - Sunday. This incident and lack of response is triggering an escalated response to my ignored concerns.
My receipt numbers are :
Check number :[protected]
Serial number :[protected]
Emergency room co-pay: $100.00

Disappointed Patron,
Sheldon

Applebee's wings

I order wings from Applebees in Dublin, Ga. They were awful and I return them back to Applebees. The manager assured us that they would cook us some fresh wings and that they would be double fried as requested. When we got home my husband and I could tell that the wings had not been double fried but instead they used the same wings we brought back and heated them up and added a few more to the bunch. We were so disappointed! that the manager would allow this and think we wouldn't notice what she had done. This could of cause us to have stomach cramps or some kind of sickness after all the wings were a day old. Me and my husband are done with Applebees, they don't aimed to please their customers but took the messy way out.

Applebee's poor food

Called for take out. Restaurant was empty upon arriving, 2 people at bar other than that no one else there, parking lot had a few cars. Bartender (female) looked haggard and out of it. Went back to get food. I did tip her but I am not sure why. Upon arriving home food was a mess. Burger had cheese slapped on the corner of it only like they didn't have a whole slice. lettuce, tomatoes looked like they had come out of the trash, fries cold and undercooked. It was a disaster and inedible. Now I know why no one was there, its a shame it has only been there about 1 year. Need to clean up your staff and your food or you wont be there much longer.

Haggard is not a good look for someone greeting customers. Go home take a nap, clean yourself up before working with food and beverages other people are going to consume. As far as how l looked, I wasn't working in a restaurant nor eating in one so I could come in haggard or anyway I wanted to pick up a to go. But actually I looked clean and neat as did my son who was with me, we try to present ourselves in public or stay home. I worked in a restaurant for 10 years in my younger days, never would I have such an appearance nor would the company I work for allow it. I tipped her as she did her job, do you have nothing else to do but critic online complaints? Or is it that you can relate as you feel this is okay? I did not want to speak to a manager I chose to share my grievance here, its called free speech.

Applebee's poor service and food quality

Today 11/22/14 myself and 21 family members went to Applebees for dinner.after a 30 minute wait we were seated.After summoning out waitress we waited 25 more minutes to get her to take our orders.we asked for water and drinks immediately.After 1hour and 10 minutes we got our drinks I never received a drink after telling her 4 times that I wanted something.Then our appetizers came and we asked for silverware 3times.My husband and I then needed to take our food to go because it had been 2 hours and had to go to work.Upon arriving at home my bourbon chicken with shrimp ended up with 3shrimp on a plain grilled chicken breast.I will likely never go to an Applebee's again.

Applebee's bad service/ wrong order

Used to go to this applebees alot haven't been there for about 6 months, anyway went there last night for dinner and the service was slow tables were dirty tthe food we ordered was wrong...we wanted the bourbon steak but we got the 7oz sirloin my steak was suppose to be well done sent it back 2 times and still wasn't done ...my husbands was suppose to be medium and was rare sent it back also and he still didn't eat it due to being under cooked..we refused to send the food back again...they didnt apologize for giving us the wrong food but changed the price to coincide. With what they brought us...the only hood thing about the whole meal was the won ton tacos and our drinks...it was very upsetting to see a place we use to love to go to have such bad service and food...very depressing wont be going back at least to that one...we will try another store maybe but not anytime soon...

Applebee's I will never return

I’ve always been slightly unimpressed with the Apple Valley location and prefer to go to the Lakeville location, but after this past Saturday I will not return to the Apple Valley Apple Bees. When we walked in the host was about to suggest a high top table, I had two 4 year olds and a one year old with me, so when she started looking that way I quickly asked for a booth. We were walked back to the booth and sat down. I quickly remarked to her that the table was filthy as I picked up a chunk of food and threw it to the floor, nothing was ever done about this nor was I ever brought a booster or high chair for my one year old. The waiter seemed to take some time to get to us even though there were only a handful of other patrons there. I ordered a mudslide for myself, a soda for my son, a water for my daughter and a chocolate milk for my toddler. My 4 year olds were brought their drinks in the big adult cups….anyone with young children knows what a disaster that could be. No cup was provided for the toddler’s milk. And, for my second visit in a row, my mudslide had what appeared to be freezer burnt ice chunks in it. The waiter eventually made his way back to the table (he was very inattentive and seemed quite distracted, not to mention not very hospitable) and my friend brought to his attention how inappropriate it was that my 4 year olds were given such big glasses, his only excuse was that I wasn’t charged for an adult drink, I had to force him to take away my son’s drink because there were chunks floating in it! We ordered our food after about 20 minutes of being there (and for how slow it was I was less than happy it took him so long to take our order). When our food arrived my drink had been empty for some time, I was never asked if I would like another….I had to ask our waiter to bring me a soda. I had ordered the appetizer sampler (something I order every time I go), my dip was easily considered room temp and I received less than a handful of chips  My friend’s meal was supposed to have lovely vegetables with it, she got 3 zucchini and some ridiculously large slices of onions. By the time the waiter finally checked back my soda was empty…..I never did get a refill. He dropped off our check and scurried off. Over 15 minutes later he finally came back to collect payment, in which we asked to speak to a manger. He sent out the manger in training who was unable to help us and had to waste more time getting the actual manager, whom in our hour and a half at the store I hadn’t seen on the floor even once. He was polite and offered to make things more acceptable for us. The worst, for me, came after all that. I took my daughter to the restroom and the hostess (who handled my children’s crayons and menus) came in, blew her nose, and left. The manager in training came in after that to use the restroom so I filled her in on the fact that after blowing her nose the hostess failed to wash her hands. The manager in training gave me some line about how it was because she was going off line so she would wash her hands in the back and turn in her mic. Imagine my surprise when I exited the restroom and this “off line” hostess was at the front pedestal with her mic still attached! Over an hour and a half on a Saturday afternoon (not even lunch or diner rush) to get in and out. Never again will I walk into that Apple Bee’s location.

Applebee's poor service

My friends and I were on our way out to a party and decided to stop at Applebee's for something to eat. Upon taking our order, she never told us she would be right with us, instead she constantly walked pass us and just smiled. Once she did bring our appetizers, with four other friends, she brings out only four napkins. We had to get up and get more ourselves. The drinks were watery as i dont know what. Once our main dish was brought to us, i did not have my garlic bread, my friend broccoli was hard as a rock, no cheese on her potato, my other friend steak was pink and she told her well done, my other friend ask for water with lemons and after writting it down, still had it wrong. They took my friend steak back, only to bring her the same steak back to the table. We spoke with the manager about all our complaints, but, we could have just kept it to ourselves because no justice was served. This was one the worst experiences i have ever had with Applebee's. I love Applebees and so do my friends. To end it all, her nails were dirty serving food.

Applebee's poor service / attitude

I arrived at the Quakertown Pa., Applebee's with a group of at least 12 other persons and were seated in the area towards the bar.
We waited for at least 15 minutes with no service or even acknowledging that we were there. When I left our table and approached an employee to speak with the manager he mentioned that they were only allowed to seat people and could not wait on them. Within a few minutes the manager came to our table. When I questioned him about the lack of service, he made it quite clear that we had a waitress and she will get to us when she gets to us. Eventually the waitress did come over and take our order. I am quite disappointed over the crappy attitude of the manager who is supposed to be the person running the show. If you do not want to do that type of work then find another job! I am very reluctant to visit an more Applebee's restaurants in the future - especially the one located in Quakertown Pa. I do not know the owners of this individual restaurant but if they condone the poor attitude and lack of enthusiasm exhibited by their employees then they should not be surprised when they go out of business.

You should get a job in a restaurant to learn how things work. My guess is, you arrived just behind another group, and the kitchen staff was already behind in filling orders. The manager was probably working hard to get things caught up, when interrupted to come listen to your complaint. If you have a large group, you should notify the manager ahead of time, so it might be possible to ask an employee or two to come early or stay late. Instead of complaining, you should spend time thanking God that you have been so blessed with wealth that you never need to do real work, cooking, washing dishes, or waiting tables for tips.

Applebee's service and food

The service was terrible. We got our drinks after awhile but the mamager had to come over and tell the lady that is at the door to bring our drinks. Then later we got out oinon rings ask 4 diferent people if we could get ranch dressing then the cleaning lady is the one that brought it to us she heard us ask serveral people for it. So when we got it the onion rings where cold. Then on our salad we got one with just lettuce no tomatoes or nother else. One was good. When we did finally get out steak they where good but had vegtables on the plate and we had ordered mashed potatoes. It took over a hour to finally get everything.

Applebee's terrible service

My family and I enjoy the food and atmosphere at Applebees. We are regular patrons (several times weekly). The management in the past was a women named Marcia Krebs. She was very pleasant and personable. She was always out on the floor talking with and checking on coustomers, their food, and service. We were very sad to see Marcia go. Since then there have been several managers and the service has steadly gone down hill. In the past few months our service has gotten worse. We have had good waitresses, but the time from ordering to the time the food reaches our table has been unacceptable. On two occations we have ordered appetizers, and several tables that came in after us have received their appetizers and entrees before we have even gotten our appetizer (two times this has been over thirty minutes from the time of ordering.) Then when the appetizer does arrive it shows up with our food and the food is cold because it has been waiting for them to cook the appetizer that they forgot. We have talked with the manager about this several times and we got the usual excuse of the computer crashed. It evidently didn't crash for the other patrons that came in after us. The last time this occured I told the manager (Jamie Bartrom) that we were done. He begged us to give him another try, and paided for our meal and gave us some coupons for future visits. We have tried again and it has been a bit better until last night when we decided to go with the curbside pickup. I ordered the food at 5:53 PM and was told it would be ready in 15 -20 minutes. When we arrived we gave the girl $60.00 to pay for an order of just over $40.00. She then brought us back change from $50.00 not $60.00 and we had to convince her that we gave her $60.00. Then our food arrived and she said "Didin't you have 20 wings?" We said yes and she told us they forgot to make them (this is a reoccurring theme). Then after 15 minutes she came back with the wings. Now our food is cold! Then as we checked everyting, there were several sauces missing from our order. My wife went back inside and the girl said she woud get as soon as she could (not I'm sorry I will get them right now, only I will get them as soon as I can.) When we had eveything and pulled out it was now 7:01 PM. Another great preformace at this Applebees!

Applebee's what a nightmare

Tonight was the worst night ever at Applebee's. It was Thursday which was karaoke night. I understand people having fun but when they are unruly, rude, loud and just well I had my tennage daughter with me and a friend. The people next to us were African American. They were loud and rude as hell. Well before we were able to leave they begin flashing around a DILDO ( sex toy). Well I'm pretty sure if that's what my kids are gonna see in Applebee's restaurant, we will NEVER go back. I'm ashamed that a company or a manager of a business would allow such stupidity in a store. I wasted around $50.00 in that place tonight and the food was not all that great either... Sorry for your loss of business. Renee Smith [protected]

Applebee's waitress and manager

Awful waitress and manager. My husband and I never get to go to dinner. He is home once a month. He asked the waitress for a draft beer- blue moon and Sam Adams mixed. She answered with her nasty attitude that "we don't do that here". The manager came over and he was an even bigger idiot. Bad attitude and ignorant staff. They could have been nice when explaining that they don't mix the beers. Thanks Applebee's.

Applebee's quality of food not the same

We used to love eating here - good food and service. The service is still great but the quality of food has gone down hill. It may be just the cook on duty at the time but the past two times, I have been disappointed. If they can't cook a proper (and simple dish) get a new cook. The chicken Alfredo was dry and awful. Noodles were mixed with a packaged seasoning but no milk was added! YUCK Then about 3 months later, I thought I'd try the BLT. How can anyone make a bad BLT at $8+ a sandwich? Applebees, that's who. The bread was OK but too thick imo and the bacon wasn't crispy. It was half cooked (probably microwaved) and I left most of it on the plate. We used to stop there on our way to the movies so there was no time to send the food back during these two episodes. Never again. We can cook better and less expensive food at home. For that matter, a hamburger from Braums down the street is 100% better.

Applebee's food and wait

I went to the restaruant to meet friends for lunch there was a total of 8 people, we had to wait 20 minutes for them to set up a table
then water came we placed drink orders and appetizers, 15 minutes later he brought the appettizers no drinks, waited another 10 minutes for drinks, ice tea, and sodas, then we ordered our food we waited 40 minutes for our food and they were not busy, standing around talking to each other. 4 of the orders were wrong. we were there over 2 hours and still did not get decent service and we either ate seperately or just told them to give us take out boxes. working people can not wait that long for service and louzy food.
we will not go back and feel we should be compensated for getting mixed up orders, cold food and 4 of us got docked an hours pay for being late in returning to work.

Applebee's soliciting calls

Email said to answer questions about your favorite appetizer and get a $25 gift card to Applebees. The survey was asking if you would like to get quotes for different services and companies which I clicked on the No did not need one. I had to put a phone number in to get a code for the coupon; which then I received text from some psychic service which I had to cancel. I have received numerous phone calls since then from all these services saying I requested info online. I don't appreciate all the unwanted calls or them collecting my number for this purpose.

I didn't know yesterday how invasive the telephone calls would be. I'm glad I didn't give them my cell number. About 25 calls in past 24hrs, I only answered a couple and they told me I had CHOSEN to be contacted, which is NONSENSE, because I answered NO to everything. My email box, meanwhile has received no less than 50 junk offers, saying "thanks for signing up" etc. The cost to gmail, hotmail, yahoomail, etc. is astronomical, can't believe they haven't rounded up these folks and put them in jail, they are sitting on Madison Avenue, getting richer by harrassing consumers!

Applebee's racist applebees waitresses & managers

The recent lawsuit was resolved through a Consent Decree filed with the U.S. District Court in Atlanta that sets forth the terms of the settlement (Case No. 1:02-CV-829). In addition to the monetary relief for Mr. Burch, the Consent Decree requires training and reporting by Applebee's. Prior to the lawsuit, Applebee's did not have a written policy in effect at any of its nationwide restaurants prohibiting discrimination based on race. Applebee's now has amended its mistreatment and discrimination policies to include color as a protected basis in accordance with Title VII. In both its Answer to the lawsuit and in the Consent Decree, Applebee's admitted liability or wrongdoing. The employees all mistreat and discriminate against each other, and set up new minority employees to get fired, staff do not wash their hands, restaurant managers are rude & have attitude problems, employees using racial slurs, food poisoning cases, the health inspector fails the restaurant many times, the servers are often lazy, inexperienced, & rude! I will not ever eat or work there again!
