Applebee's Grill + Bar

Love their quesadillas. Clean and friendly but a little dark. Suggestion: open up a few blinds for some light.

Worst Applebees I’ve ever been to in my life. Have gave it a try 3 times and it’s always horrible. Had the most rude, absurd, LOUD AF, and just plain disrespectful waitress ever. There were more servers who appeared to be messing with some sort of tv standing on top of tables right bedside us? Kind of gross if you ask me… also noticed that tables who walked in 10-15 minutes after us were getting their food first? Ok no big deal but then noticed they had ordered pretty much the same thing as us. Weird for them to receive their food before we even had gotten our appetizer ? I asked for a water and either they haven’t cleaned the nozzle or got it from the dam bathroom sink??? Tasted awful. Whatever I asked for something else. But of course the server was going on and on with her snarky little comments thinking it was funny?? I or my partner didn’t wanna say anything or be rude but she sure didn’t care about being rude or her job it seemed like. I like Applebees but this one is just awful every single time. Must be the staff. Who knows. All I know is I will make the extra 15 minute drive to jc or Bristol or ANYWHERE else besides this one!

while we were trying to eat our food and talk to each other a waitress taking care of the section behind us decided to vacuum the area we were seated in because she was leaving. i dont care if you are leaving NOONE needs to try and eat and talk over a vacuum. they were not happy when i explained to them that we couldnt hear each other speak and asked them to wait until we were finished. i suggested that they stop seating that area if they need to get it cleaned. she rolled her eyes. the food was not good. our waitress was awesome no complaints with her. other guests were also upset that they were vacuuming our area. we hadnt eaten at applebees in a long time we dont have one near where we live so we were excited to see one close to where we were staying. horrible experience!!!!! never again. i would not suggest going to this location. poor customer service.

My husband and I went for dinner around 4:45. There were just a few tables there since we were before the dinner rush. The waitress did not seem interested in us at all, but brought us our drinks and kept rushing us to order our entrees. We had never been to an apple bees before so we needed time to look over the menu. We ordered the Beer Cheese Waffle Fries (Which was the best part of this dining experience). When the entrees came, the first few bites made me horribly sick. I rushed to the bathroom while trying not to vomit in the dining area. I had ordered the chicken tender macaroni and it was just disgusting. While I was in the restroom vomiting, my husband told the waitress that we needed the check because my food had made me sick. The waitress then asked if I was sick because I had social anxiety since my husband had ordered my drink for me. It just so happened that the franchise owner of this Applebees was there; he introduced himself to my husband and asked about the situation. I wish he had offered to take my entree off the ticket because I had two bites and we left the rest there since it had made me ill. This will be the first and last time we will be eating at Applebees in Kingsport after this experience. I usually will try again after a bad experience just to see if it was just an off night, however I just cannot for this area. We may try again somewhere FAR away. I have never written a bad review like this at a restaurant, but I do not want other people having the same incident that we had.
