Reviews for Applebee's Grill + Bar in Hoover, AL
This was my second visit. The first was last year for lunch. This time was for dinner. I think they lack of labors on my latest... visit. My husband and I arrived at the restaurant. The restaurant was not busy. Nobody worked at the host area except onwaitress who talked to clients before us and tried to seat them and took care of her tables at the same time. I didn't seemanager or anybody can help this poor lady until there were more customers walked inside the restaurant. The guy who didn't workon the floor came out and started to take names. We had to wait for 5 to 10 minutes to be seated. For food, I didn't think itwas awesome!! I don't think I would be back soon to the restaurant. Service is okay since there were not a lot servers to workon Friday's evening. Our server had to seat customers and waited on her tables. Overall, I was not impressed!! Read more
Food cold. Beer tasted like some sort of cleaner. Management: for a paying customer that was poor food quality and it was a... simple dish. Food should leave the kitchen hot like it's suppose to and I left three quarters of my food. As paying customers,if we don't complain, how are you going to fix the problems. Unfortunately, yet again very disappointed and we will not be back! Read more
I went to have a drink or two and it was nice. The atmosphere was relaxing. The staff was extra polite. I did not eat there but... I did order something to take home. The food was good. I have no complaints Read more
We had two for $30, both 4 cheese bacon mac. There was a little cheese in the bottom of the bowl but NO BACON (OMG)! The... manager brought out bacon bits and more cheese but by that time, I was almost finished with my food. My son didn?t eat his food.This was not a good experience. Read more
Place not busy...15 min to get a beer...then told the taps don't work only bottles. Only 1 server and 1 manager working. Dingy... looking ceiling needs replacement, kept hoping that something wouldn't fall in my food. However the food was good and came outhot without any issues. I had the chicken and broccoli alfredo, chicken was cooked perfectly and not dried out. Read more
The sirloin was excellent. Well cooked and tender. The rest of our meal was also very good indeed, and the wait staff were... attentive and helpful. As you can see from my picture, the steak was excellent and not a dot was left. That's the bestadvertisement I think ???? Read more
We were told recently that this Applebee's was going downhill. When we went here for dinner on 10/21 this was simply not the... case. We ordered a Chicken Fajita roll up and cheese sticks which both were very good. I miss the sweet potato fries and wishthey would bring them back! Our server Amanda was outstanding and checked on us several times. It is clear there is a staffingshortage that the employees are having to deal with. Since the information we were given was not accurate we will be back asthis restaurant is closer to us than the Pelham Applebee's. Read more
They were short staffed, there was tables that hadn't been cleaned off, there was only 2 waitress to take care of the customers.... We had to wait 30 minutes to be seated and everyone that entered the restaurant was told the same thing. Several people leftwhen told their wait time was 30-35 minutes. It was not the best experience. I wanted to leave and go somewhere else but myfriends wanted to stay so I stayed. The food was good and our waitress was great. Read more
