Great experience at this particular location! It was evident from the start that the manager, Lisa, had the pulse of her staff on her own rhythm! All were smiling, friendly and showed that they enjoyed working there...not one frown. Service was timely and the food was great! Lisa came around to check on me as much as my server and made me feel welcome! I've been to many Applebee's over the years, but the Athens store sets the standard!
This eating establishment is simply unmatched. The service provided here by the kind folk that are employed are the kindest humans to walk the earth next to Jesus Christ himself. I wouldn’t put it past them to be there for me in any time of need, they're like brothers and sisters to me… i love them like family. The second i step foot into this fine dining establishment i get goose bumps all over. One time in walked in and got so overwhelmed with the service i fainted but the fine folk that work there nursed me back to health. I would not be surprised to know these people…. no angels weren't sent here by god himself to help guide me on my journey through life. They've changed me in ways words can't even describe… i love you applebees….. forever and always from the bottom of my heart… thank you.
Applebee's, led by the remarkable server chief Reginald, has truly been a life-changing experience for me. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. Reginald's attention to detail and genuine care for every customer transcends the typical dining experience.
Extremely poor experience all around, staff was sitting around more than working, we had a very simple order and was incorrectly made waitress never once asked if we'd like a refill on our drinks, by the time food had gotten to the table it wasn't only made incorrectly it was cold. We order burgers and fries and a appetizer of nachos. Place wasn't very busy at all and fully staffed absolutely a terrible dinner experience when your staff can clearly be heard talking about and making fun of the costumers. Needless to say I tip and I tip well I did not leave one on this night.
Excellent!! Greeted as soon as we walked in and seated within minutes. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! My husband and I both had the Bourbon Steak, medium well and it was perfect. ????
The wait was not bad at all they said 30 minutes it only took 15 minutes before we got seated. Would not recommend being placed right behind the hottest station that was a bit annoying. The appetizers took a while to get and right after within 3 minutes there was dinner timing with food was off. The check was offered before asking if we would like dessert or anything else. We did have dessert though! The food was very very good and we had a nice time. Would recommend the combo platter everything on this plate was very tasty ????JC
I waited 20 minutes without being asked what I wanted to drink or eat. Was not introduced to a server. Hostess walked past us 5 times stared at us seeing without drinks. One of the managers walked past us seeing that we didn’t have a drink or food. Horrible service. Especially for the first time of us going to this particular Applebees. You need to get your stuff together. Absolutely unacceptable.
