Applebee's - Topeka

Only at applebee’s for the first time in probably 8yrs, and it will be at least that before I go back. service was ok and was probably quite good by the latest standards (post covid.) that eating was extremely slow to get out of the kitchen about 30 min. I ordered the classic bourbon street steak medium rare. that was one of the worst steaks I ever had. it seemed to be boiled properly, but was so hard I could hardly cut it with a steak knife, let alone chewing it. I had made good steaks much tenderer. I could swallow some bits. the garlic potatoes were tasteless. my wife got the 6oz steak who wasn't better, although she managed to eat about 1/2 before she stopped. When the waiter brought the ticket, he asked if we wanted to crate when we said no and he barely touched the food, he did not want to ask if something was wrong. everything spent in all a good amount of money for terrible eating, for which we had to wait for a long time. only for the case that they wondered that the restaurant was full at less than 25%, so no apology for slow eating. Of course, going to mcdonalds is eating much better and that is very regrettable.

I always receive courteous and friendly service with each visit. I have yet to find a dish I don't like. My last visit I had the Bourbon steak w/grilled onions shrimp, mashed potatoes and house salad. ?

Just ate at Applebee's for the first time in probably 8yrs and it will be at least that before I go back. Service was OK and was probably considered pretty good by recent standards (post Covid). The food was extremely slow to come out of the kitchen about 30 min. I ordered the classic Bourbon Street Steak medium rare. This was one of the worst steaks I have ever had. It seemed to be cooked correctly but was so tough I could barely cut it with a steak knife let alone chew it. I have had well done steaks way more tender. I managed to swallow a few bits. The garlic mashed potatoes were flavorless. My wife got the 6oz steak that wasn't any better although she managed to eat about 1/2 before stopping. When the waiter brought the ticket he asked if we wanted boxes, when we said no and he saw the meal barely touched he didn't bother to ask if anything was wrong. All in all spent a good amount of money for terrible food that we had to wait a long time on. Just in case you were wondering the restaurant was at less than 25% full so no excuse for the slow food. Needless to say go to McDonald's the food is much better and that is very unfortunate.

Dusted disgusted. I took 2 of my son's out for a bday meal 8/3/22 we placed a dine in order 1 of my son's made a mention of ppl after us getting their meals I noticed at least a table of roughnecks getting there's before us we've been waiting an hr and I knw those men ordered steaks and meats tht take longer than our burger dishes and a salad. So thn I ask Tyson our waiter hw long? He leaves cms bk with no answer and the manager cms out trying to appease by bringing an app on top of an hr on top of all the other ppl getting theirs of not asking what pref of an app. We were out. There goes the neighborhood Applebee's.

This is the first time I have been here and I was very disappointed in my service tonight. Don't get me wrong the waiter was amazing with a group of 10-12 people. My order was all messed. I got my food after everyone else and they had forgotten to add my appetizer to my 2 for 25$ meal. I was sitting for 2+ hours. The bathroom had smelled badly. It seemed very unorganized. They almost forgot to get my food in. But thank you for a first time.
