Reviews for Applebee's Grill + Bar in Ames, IA
I brought my mom to this location for her birthday. While we were ordering our drinks my mom made a comment about not wanting to... get a certain drink because it was a little pricey. After that our server treated us differently than how she treated otherpeople. I was fully prepared to spend 60+ dollars on this meal plus this lady?s tip. We did not ask our server for much. Whenwhat I am assuming was the expo brought out our food we realized we didn?t order a side of broccoli. We politely asked if wecould get it put in and he said he would let our server know. When she brought out the broccoli my mom asked for a glass ofwater. This lady said with the nastiest tone in her voice ?is there anything else I can get for you that?s in the back?. I am aserver myself and I understand the struggle of having a needy table but at that point we had asked her for TWO things. If you?rereading this Laura P I?d like you to know that all of America is hiring and if you don?t like service work there?s plenty ofother options. I didn?t want to eat here in the first place but its my moms favorite restaurant. I most definitely will NOT begoing back. Read more
Went to dinner with a friend. We both had drinks and good. The service was great. Gif food and drinks were great!
It?s just a consistently good chain restaurant. Nothing over the top fantastic and nothing horrible. I have 4 stars only because... they were out of several cocktail items and I couldn?t order the drink I really wanted to try. Read more
Only giving one star for the amazing mozzarella sticks I enjoyed. The reason for this low rating is for multiple reasons. First... it took 5-10 minutes just for our server to help us. We then enjoyed an amazing appetizer. We had to ask for refills multipletimes. But the main reason for this low review is the only thing on my strawberry chicken salad was the lettuce, dressing, andstrawberry slices. There was no chicken, no cheese, no tomatoes, etc. When we brought this up to the server the only thing wegot was ?sorry.? Will not be coming again. Read more
Amazing food. And there are few healthy options too. Good service and great ambience.
Revisited Applebees tonight. Waitress was friendly, service was okay. I tried the Prohmburger which was deli ham on a single... hamburger patty. It was okay, probably over priced like most of corporate america food. Sides were a joke, I got 3 onion ringsand like 15 french fries. Free wifi 5g. Free soda pop refills... Read more
