Reviews for Applebee's Grill + Bar in Council Bluffs, IA
Ticket was hand written and told the credit card machine was not working. We had to give them our credit card number which they... wrote down by hand and kept. I should have been told there card machine was down before ordering. Didn't get menus when seated.Had to wait for server to finish conversation with regulars at the bar before she took order.

The food was good although took 45 min. The server was horrible. The waitress never checked on us and was racist. Checked on all... tables that were white but ours were we were a mixed couple with our growing children. Had to ask another server for butter thatI had asked for when food came out. Table of 6 who was there 10-15 min after us got food before we did. Horrible horribleservice!! Don't know if I will ever go back to this one!! Read more
Don't have much to say here, most of the time it is good food, im usually here for a late lunch or an early dinner, so I get... here between rushes mostly. Got the chicken bowl last time, it was good and bigger then I expected Read more
Seemed like decent service, but all of the food was just above room temperature. Everything was cooked all the way, so I am... assuming that our waitress was taking too long to bring the food out to the table. There were only two people at each of thefour tables she was waiting besides the one table that had a family of four that left shortly after we got there. Read more
It had been a couple years since we ate at Applebees because we noticed service and food was going down hill, well we decided to... give it a try about a week ago and I?m happy to say food was delicious and service seems to be getting a little better; ourwaitress was really great anyways. The wonton chicken tacos are a must have! Read more
Went for my daughter's birthday and would not recommend this location to anyone. We didn't get acknowledged for about 6 min and... it was completely dead. We get seated and order an appetizer only to get portion that was half what the picture showed. Didn'twant to argue so just went with it but my daughter ordered a medium well steak that came back well done. I only spoke up becauseit was for my daughter and it was her birthday meal. The kitchen staff took offense and it was another 20 min before we got thesteak. Obviously I wasn't going to eat while my daughter waited so my food was cold. I can say 100% the wait was retaliation forasking what I ordered. Our server Brianna didn't ask once for refills and seemed annoyed the whole time. Tried to be polite butit didn't matter to the easily offended cook and server. Maybe restaurant work might not be for you if this is how you treatcustomers. Read more
Pretty much what you think expect from a chain restaurant, except that the waitresses are very friendly and let a friend and... myself who are out of towners hang around and chat for a very long time, without having to continually order food or drinks sothat was really nice of them. The strawberry/mango smoothie is really good too! Read more
Was my first time here. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Drink and Food specials Amazing :)
