Applebee's Grill + Bar

Went to Applebee's yesterday for lunch, and the bartender was our waitress. She greeted us with a friendly smile, seated us, and served drinks promptly. I ordered my food: 8 oz sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. My steak was cooked to my preference and had amazing flavor. My side dishes were also very good. I went with a young man who is on the Autism spectrum, and ordered him a platter of fries, as he wouldn't eat anything else they have due to his picky food nature. The waitress told me, after we had talked for a bit about what he likes, that though it isn't on the menu, they could make him a grilled cheese. As a person who takes this young man out frequently, it was amazing that she would offer to get him something that isn't on the menu, so he had more than just fries (which is his absolute favorite so he would have been totally okay). She kept our drinks filled and was very pleasant! I was very impressed and thankful for her courteous service.

Food was pretty good, a reasonable portion size for the amount charged. We had The Bourbon Street Steak and The Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp Dinners with 2 waters, no appetizer ot was $32.00. The restaurant was clean, it wasn't very busy, lots of empty tables, the restaurant was quite hot, several nearby patrons were speaking of the temperature. The service was good and the employees were friendly.

We had a very disappointing experience tonight. Took our son & his girlfriend to this location for dinner. The chips served with the spinach artichoke dip were extremely stale. We asked for fresh chips and after a long wait, the waitress came back accompanied by a man saying he had just finished cooking the chips & they are hot. We tried some of the "fresh" chips and they tasted like stale chips that had been reheated. My hand battered fish & chips were very greasy and the fries looked like they were leftovers that had been re-cooked. The waitress needs training - she was not friendly & did not check on us even one time throughout our meal - it was NOT busy (only 3 other tables had guests) We had to flag her down to get the stale chips replaced, also to get tarter sauce for the fish & chips, another time to get a drink refill, and she never brought our napkins. Applebee's definitely gets a failing grade for tonight's food as well as service.

Worst restaurant in Rocky Mount. Ordered for pick-up. Food was supposed to be ready by 8:00. Hostess keeps coming to me with excuses. It’s now approaching 8:30, still no food. Some brain dead brother with dreads tries to hand me someone else’s food. I tell him it’s not mine. As I’m talking to the manager, the same brother starts yelling at me that nobody cares about your food or how long you’ve been waiting, etc. all in front of the manager. I asked to have the order cancelled and my money refunded. I will never go to that Appleby’s ever again. Have a feeling the mouthy waiter won’t even be reprimanded. Seems to be the atmosphere there. No one cares. No wonder it’s never busy.
