    The atmosphere was terrible when we dined in. They put everyone to one side of the dining area, which meant we sat right next to an elderly group and there was no sort of border in-between us. Our server was good, but the other workers were extremely rude. A host/busgirl that was cleaning that table after they left was loudly complaining about the group that had sat there. The waiter that finished serving the table across from us also complained due to their tip. Customer service aside, the food was as I expected, bad. I ordered the Garlic Parmesan chicken and 🤔. The unnecessary sweet sauce on the chicken in the alfredo overpowered everything else and pretty much became the sauce. Overall.. I will never come back.

    Decided I wanted to take advantage of the unlimited boneless wings promotion, so I stopped in at this location. Initially the service was prompt and friendly, but once I placed my order and the first serving was brought out that was it (wings were ok, nothing to write home about, more breading than anything). I sat at the bar, but the bartender was no where to be found, he made eye contact with me from across the room, came over to the bar, stood in front of me to do something on the computer, and NEVER asked me if I needed anything before he walked off again! When I finally flagged him down, he asked me “can I get you anything else” almost as if to rush me out, I paid for unlimited wings, but the mindset seems to be very limiting. After I had finally had enough of not being attended to, I attempted to waive down the manager, but he stopped and spoke to me as if I was bother him! This is one customer they won’t have to worry about again!

    I will NOT be coming to this place…It took us to 30 mins for our drinks…the bathroom was an Absolute wreck, both stalls were disgusting. Server wasn’t very good. the mixed drinks were adequate. the food was good and the portions were good. I wouldn’t recommend this for a weekend dinner out.

    This location has great service! The 2 for $29 meal option is a great way to have the full price entrees for less money with an appetizer. The chicken & shrimp is delicious! We had the $5 mucho cocktail, the blue motorcycle. Definitely will be back for the great waiter and good food items!

    The waiter who served us forgot to bring us the sauce we asked for which was Honey mustard. After 20 min he brought them to us. Then we had to wait a long time just to ask him for the bill because he didn't show up at our table. The service was really very bad. The place was not that crowded. Although the taste of the food was very rich.

    The location was pretty empty when we arrived, but we were still seated in a corner next to the stairwell. The servers were polite, but didn't give us napkins when we started to eat even though I was eating ribs. The ribs were pretty tasty, but it felt like there wasn't much meat on the bones of the ribs (it almost felt a little like a sample). The fries were alright, nothing special, but the over all quality wasn't really great. The table appeared dirty but apparently it was just permanent marking on the wood. I personally definitely don't plan on returning and the dishes we ordered felt were done better at other restaurants.

    We sat in the bar area this last time and were one of only a few people and it took quite a long time to get just a salad and appetizer. Everywhere else looked like they were much better attended. It was on a Sunday afternoon as well so wasn't expecting it to take that long. Otherwise the pretzels and cheese are literally the best in show and don't compare to other similar pretzel and cheese options. The standout though was actually the grilled chicken that came on the grilled chicken Cesar salad. It was perfect. It was moist and perfectly seasoned. It was surprisingly tasty chicken for a salad. We actually ate all the chicken before we had ate much of the salad.

    My mom left her purse there, with a lot of money in it. Around 1.1k. When she came back today, she got the purse back but all the money gone. I can’t believe that is happened in the Apple Bee in Fair Lake shopping center VA. Above is my daughter commented. However, I will write a whole true story about I forgot my walet from last night. In the mean time. I don’t want to write about this bad thing. Today, I have to wait from 10:00am to about 4:00pm with my hope the general manager and store manager to help me found my money back. But I feel they seem don’t care much. I hope the district manager try to involve to help me to retrieve my daughter gift money from her Dad family. Today, before I left Apple Bee around 4pm, I did asked the general manager and store manager to have a metting with all the employees worked from last night. Who is found my purse and accidentally took the money in side. Then just silent to send my money back to my address that I leave there for them. That’s all I really want right now
