Reviews for Applebee's Grill + Bar in Lawrence, KS
The only thing Good about this place was our server. She was such a doll. I was taught you eat what you are given. If that had... not been so imbedded into me I would have returned the food after the first bite. I ate about half my ribeye which was coveredwith black pepper. Worst steak ever. Idk how to mess up broccoli but they did. The potatoes tasted like instant already madepotatoes you buy at the store. I wish I had stayed home. Now the appetizers are something to rave about. Best cheese sticksI've had in a long time. The chicken tacos OMG. A bit spicy for me but it was soooo worth it. Wings I could do without thebarbeque sauce but it was still good. We will go back just for the appetizers. Like I said our server was amazing. She was sosweet and so kind. Ella M if you get to see this YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Your service alone made it worth coming in. Youshould be teaching people how to do this job. Absolutely amazing. Read more

Walked in at 9:00 and was told a server would be with us. Waited 15 minutes for a server then another 15 for our drinks. Keep in... mind, there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered food after getting our drinks, and didn?t get our food until 10:45 whenthey close at 11. When food finally came out it was clear the plates had been sitting under the warmer forever. Hamburger bunwas crispy, fries were soggy, salad was warm, and the plates were too hot to touch. Paid way too much for the experience that wehad. Read more
Although the staff was AMAZING! Its ridiculous that the chips & queso are $6.99 & you only get one scoop of cheese. I?ve been... informed that this is what corporate is forcing the cooks to portion for an expensive price. Read more
Went here the other night and waited 40 minutes for an appetizer! There were only 3 tables in the whole restaurant that were... occupied. This was at 8 so 2 hours before close so no excuse for such slow service. The service was horrible and very slow. Theyhad plenty of servers sitting around and talking at the bar area. The food was okay not great. My friend has a gluten allergyand the staff would not make gluten free options even though they were displayed on the menu. Don't eat here unless you wantslow service and not great food. Read more

We went later at night around 845pm. The waitress was very attentive. On Wednesday night they have hamburgers, fries and a drink... for $5.00 and half off appetizers after 9pm. Read more
Took 3x as long to be served our order as ever experienced before at Applebees. Salad was okay but odd presentation and my... friend's hamburger was too well done. He ate it he said only because he was very hungry and did not want to embarrass me bysending it back. Read more
