Best KPortal Reviews
Y'all know I HATE leaving bad reviews....Our first time at this Applebee's, and it was awful. First off, let me say the waitress was super nice, but she could not possibly have been more attentive due to her being the only server there. I ordered a margarita that was so bitter and salty I had to let the shaker water down and place that portion in before I could drink it. We also ordered queso and chips, which already had skin like shredded melted cheese (not queso cheese), and the chips had a funny taste. I had the southwest chicken bowl. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but the whole thing had no flavor. My husband had the shrimp parmesean Sirloin with fries and mashed potatoes. The shrimp was fishy, and the steak was overcooked for what he asked for. They placed almost everyone on the same side of the restaurant, and on one side, we had a loud mouth and on the other, someone played a game on his phone at the highest volume setting which of course in the the restaurants fault other that they sat everyone back to back in a mostly empty restaurant. The music in the restaurant was the worst ever, think musac in the 90s. We also did not get the Indiana Jones tickets for the new movie. Spend over 35 dollars, and you get a movie ticket for the upcoming movie. We spent $78 with tip.
We both ordered steak. I have never been served a worse steak in 74 years! I told our waitress how tough the steak was. She took it back and another steak was prepared. The cook brought it out and said she tempted it to make sure it was properly cooked. I told her it was cooked perfectly, but was so tough we could not eat them. She smiled and walked off. We brought the entire steaks home in a carry out box to feed to our dog. They were so tough they were literally inedible. We raise beef and I can't imagine what could be done to meat to produce that quality. It was cooked medium rare to order. Our waitress was great. Needless to say we will
not be dining with Applebee's in South Boston again. We have dined at Applebee's in South Hill and our food was very good. I would think the same vendors are used, but never have we gotten such low quality beef before. Maybe you should do quality checks on your foods and change vendors. Without some changes I quality, I feel your business will take a big hit.
While going through South Boston, VA, I made the decision to have a quick supper at this Applebees. My server took around fifteen minutes to come get my drink order, even though I was seated right away. On the positive side, I suppose that gives someone plenty of time to peruse the menu, but it really shouldn’t take fifteen minutes to take a drink order. I ordered a shark bowl. After another fifteen minutes of waiting, I was given something different. I was given the Hawaiian ice tea, not the shark bowl. I was unable to inform the waitress that she had brought me the incorrect drink because she dropped it off so fast. When she returned after ten or so minutes, I informed her the drink was wrong. She then starts to dispute with me vehemently, saying it is the shark bowl, they just left out the shark gummy. I know what the drink looks like.. shark bowls are completely blue, but this drink contained yellow. She argued with me a few minutes before reluctantly taking it back. She was whispering something about a five-person table, saying stuff like, “he’s going to put me behind” and “I need to get their orders.” I guess the five-person table was more significant than me, the lone man!! By now, I had been in the establishment for more than thirty minutes! She eventually brings my shark bowl after another fifteen minutes, but not before arguing. “What you had tastes just like a shark bowl, I could have just brought you the shark gummy,” she continued to try to argue with me. I decided to order a burger despite that. The burger took twenty minutes to arrive, and it wasn’t too good.. the bun was kind of hard, indicating that it was getting stale. I most likely won’t go back to the Applebee’s in South Bostno. Waitress needs training.. fighting with me tooth and nail over my drink, that’s unnecessary. Rude. It was time for me to get up and go.. I should’ve!
I will start this review by saying our server, Quenterra, was amazing, however I didn’t like how the hostess was seating people. Now granted I’m not sure how it is other times of the day and when it’s busiest. When we walked in we were greeted and seated near the bar (we’re people of color) as other non people of color walked in and were seated they were seated away from the bar and in the quieter part of the restaurant. As more people of color walked in they were seated near us at the bar where it was louder and busy. As I’ve stated before I’m not sure if this is a normal occurrence or if it just happened to be tonight but I do know that I will not be returning.
My salad was very good. My husband got the all you can eat shrimp, ribs, and wings. He gets 6 shrimp at a time and could only order 1 at a time. Ribs were cold and tough, and wings were chicken nuggets. Would not recommend all you can eat. Also took too much time getting the food. They were very few people in there.
Ordered 2 for 25. Ask for the cheeseburger with fries to eat in and for the chicken strps with fries when I leave togo.
The burger was good and hot but when I decided to leave, about 2 hours after eating and watching the masters highlights at the bar. They brought out a soggy, greasy warm fries and chicken strips that had been sitting under a head lamp for two hours. Not really eatable. When someone asks for a Togo order after they eat. Don't cook it rite away and leave it sitting under a heat lamp for 2 hours. ???? disgusting.
I would give this place no stars if I could. Stopped in here on Jan 6th well before closing. Had to ask another waitress for refills on separate occasions.
My fiancé ordered The New Neighborhood Double burger. They fail to tell you that their double burger is one patty broken in half and placed on top of each other. You have way more bread than anything.
This place is way overpriced, the food was not all that great and our server was horrible.
This place has really went downhill over the years. Will not be returning.
My wife and I and her family used to go to this South Boston Virginia Applebees once a month. Its getting bad. They are so careless.... its nuts how careless they are. They often give you the wrong dressing or the wrong entree....or they forget stuff. I called in a order by phone April 17th around 2-3 pm. When i get there, they could not locate my order or find anything about my order. The manager was clueless and said they couldnt locate my order either. So the order was just lost or wasnt even entered into the system...i went hungry. I was also addressed as "buddy" which i dislike...One time my wifes sis went by here to eat alone. She got a alcoholic beverage but they put a water on her check! If she wasnt honest, she could have had a free drink! The manager told her messing up checks happens more frequently than they would like to admit.... wow. They need to stop being so careless. Btw, I try to send in a "contact us" form on the Applebees website and everytime it says my session is expired. I give up...ill just let the world know about this place.
