    All said and done, I didn't eat here. I have gone here before in hope's that the service would improve but again a big disappointment. We were seated and the waitress disappeared. She didn't introduce herself she just walked away after placing the menus down on the table. My son and I waited close to 20 minutes and no one ever came over to let us know they would take our order shortly. There were only 4 tables in use in the entire place and one already had been served. I cant understand honestly how this place is still open. I get that everyone is short staffed ever since Covid but this has been ongoing for years. Sorry guys I'm done and wont be returning anytime soon.

    I've been going to this location for years and never had an experience as bad as my family did yesterday. The server was telling another server to take us for some reason when we walked in even though the place was about empty at the time. She sat us at a dirty table and wiped the dirt on my lap instead of towards the floor. We didn't see her at all after she dropped the food. She didn't stop back by to see if the food was okay or if we needed anything. I saw the manager asking the tables behind us how everything was but he walked right past our table. The hostess asked the table right behind us if they needed refills. She didn't ask us even though I had our empty cups at the very edge of the table. We had to ask for the check. They all treated us poorly and like we weren't paying customers. It was terrible and we'll never eat there again. They need to focus on better customer service, even the manager. I used to be a server and there is absolutely no excuse for any of that. None. I know the workforce is lacking right now but that was just pathetic.

    I will never order from Applebee’s again. We ordered $60 worth of food (Uber Eats) We were missing the Chicken Alfredo Pasta meal, they gave us soggy French Fries and when I called to speak with a manager, she said there was nothing they could do since Uber Eats is a 3rd party. Unbelievable.

    The food was good, I got the chicken pasta but whenever we opened the silverware it was dirty and had to get new ones, im glad i checked. Staff was friendly but took a little to get seated (no one was in the front) Maybe because it was really empty but it was about 8-9 at night so I would’ve thought it would’ve been more packed. It was just a last minute decision and was decent.

    First time visiting this establishment. I ordered myself a marmalade shark cocktail. It was sincerely interesting what they would bring and how it would look. They brought me a cocktail without anything. Only when I myself asked the waitress where the marmalade was, she said that they were over. This should be discussed in advance. I was not even offered to choose another cocktail or skip this one. My boyfriend ordered a cocktail with a promotional picture where the drink was garnished with an ornamental palm tree and a cocktail cherry. Brought without anything. The food may be delicious there, but such an attitude to trifles spoiled the impression. I wanted to try something new, take pictures, share with friends, but in the end I just got upset. We won't be joining this network again.

    We ordered curbside and had the pleasure of being served by Koda. She was friendly and attentive. And we will return and dine in next time just because of her awesome attitude. Excellent!

    Kat is absolutely perfect and I wish I could take her home as nanny, she calmed my almost two year old down when we were ready to walk out because of her behavior. Kat brought us extra crayons and calmed my baby down. She was exceptional beyond all means. I'll definitely come back and request her.

    Katt and Larissa made the meal as great as they could after the food was incorrect. Service was great! Katt is always super sweet and takes care of her customers and Larissa is a phenomenal manager with impeccable people skills!

  • 5/5 tati 7 months ago on Google
    Katt took care of us on Saturday around 1am. I will say she was extremely sweet. We got our food before we even got our drinks, while the manager was behind the bar on his phone the entire time. Katt had no other tables so there was no excuse for our drinks to get out after our food. He did not come over and ask how anything was, since he was so busy on his phone. The food was good, but I will not be coming to this location again.

  • 5/5 Ryan J. 7 months ago on Google

    From the moment we entered we were greeted with smiles and kindness and this was our whole experience tonight at Applebees. Katt was our waitress and she exceeded all expectations with top service, banter and kindness. We will be coming back to this location :)

  • 5/5 Camille G. 7 months ago on Google
    Katt's customer service was exceptional. She was kind and attentive to the customers' needs. When we asked for light seasoning on our food, she made sure our meal came out just as we requested. I would highly recommend her.

    My food was good but could have been a little hotter. The other people with me had steaming food lol. Carolyn, our server was very nice and prompt with our requests.

    Had lunch yesterday, the bartender Temika was great! She was just awesome all round from explaining the menu to making awesome drinks. I will definitely be returning to see her again!

  • 5/5 Jenna P. 6 months ago on Google
    Katt was our server and was very sweet and personable. It felt like she actually cared if we enjoyed our evening and that is refreshing coming from a server. They aren't always as welcoming and warm as she was. Thank you for taking care of us Miss Katt! 🙂

  • 5/5 Elina T. 6 months ago on Google
    Katt was amazing! We came for a nice Friday night out, and had a great time. The service was great, food was great, and the drinks were great. Katt was so great, we can't wait to come back soon!

  • 5/5 Sreeja K. 6 months ago on Google
    Good atmosphere and wonderful service especially by Katt who was super friendly, and helpful. They have a great price each day for a particular dish. You won't have to wait too long to get your orders ready. Definitely will go back.

  • 5/5 Kristina A. 6 months ago on Google
    I’ll visit when Laura and Paul is here. Laura’s service is impeccable. She is attentive and you can tell that she actually enjoys servicing others. Between her and Paul they set the tone and standard or what Applebee’s should be moving forward!! I enjoyed my experience and will definitely return 🤩🥳

  • 5/5 Maria S. 6 months ago on Google
    Katt was amazing! She was very attentive and nice. Made it a wonderful experience. Always had a smile on her face as well. Gave us suggestions on the drinks and food when we were in doubt would definitely come back thanks to her.

    My second time here on a Friday, the 1st time I sat at the bar and it was so fun. Today I sat on a booth and Lora was so attentive and very friendly. The whole staff is very friendly and my food is fresh and great presentation. Clean restaurant, sorry no food photos, I ate it! 🤣🤣

  • 3/5 Dina M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a waitress that was a little hesitant to bring coasters& napkins to the table. I wanted to tip her a nice tip because I know not to take it personal- my friends treated me for my birthday ...she was an awesome waitress . I thanked her kindly at the end for her service of the wonderful steak, mashed potatoes,& broccoli. It was so delicious ,and the steak 🥩 was cooked to my liking- the broccoli was just as good, but the mashed potatoes the best ! ; it was my favorite meal off the menu. Spot on.

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Shrimp and Parmesan Sirloin I think I ever had from here. Big shout out to the cooks and also our waitress Diane for her excellent customer service as our waitress. She made my family and I feel welcomed. Definitely will be coming back again for another round!!

  • 5/5 Ryan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be regulars here when we lived nearby. Always nice to stop in when we're back in town. Good drinks from the bar and the Bourbon Street Chicken and shrimp is great too!

  • 1/5 Ed V. 1 year ago on Google
    1-Waited 15 min after being seated with no one to wait on us. Restaurant not even busy. We got up and told someone that no one had attended us. 5 min later, still no server in site. Got up and told the greeter. Finally we met our server a couple minutes later. 2- I ordered a salad, it had about 2 Oz of water under the salad. Manager gave us a free appetizer, They need to get their act together.

  • 5/5 Cliff W. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a cold evening and I knew I wanted to enjoy the tomato soup and after finishing it, I decided to get an order of nachos. I sat with Mama at the bar and she could not have been any nicer or friendlier. The service was great.

  • 2/5 Jude P. 1 year ago on Google
    Awful. Was a shift change, so some confusion and understandable delay, but, everything we got; boneless Buffalo, pretzel, ribs and salad were terrible. Waitstaff were very nice, but, so much disorganization, and just horrible food. Do not recommend

  • 5/5 DeAnne M. 1 year ago on Google
    Shelby was awesome! We are from out of state and have been disappointed by the service extended during our stay in Florida. Shelby was a game changer and made our experience last night superior to all others. The food was perfect and delivered to our table quick ly. Great job!

  • 5/5 kandan 9 months ago on Google
    The food at is good! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the waitress is sooo friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.

  • 4/5 Chris C. 9 months ago on Google
    The hostess Casey was awesome. She told us about the daily $9.99 specials and half price appetizers. Our server, Noah, was extremely attentive. He provided timely service with a cheerful smile and professional manner. The food was typical Applebee's.

  • 5/5 It's me, I. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a great waiter, Katt. She was friendly and talkative, got things done quick even when she was busy with others and never messed up a single order. The food was great as well along with her service, truly nothing to really complain about

  • 5/5 Daneel F. 8 months ago on Google
    Katt was my server today. I have no words to describe how nice she was with us. She treated us like family with professionalism and passion.

  • 5/5 Karen B. 9 months ago on Google
    Katt provided great service for us tonight. Super friendly and attentive. Fairly quiet on a Sunday evening, and although they were supposedly understaffed, we couldn't tell. The food was great.

  • 5/5 Amanda 10 months ago on Google
    We came in tonight for a quick dinner. I haven’t been to an Applebees in years but tonight has made me a big Applebees fan. We had Katt as our server and she was incredible! She was so friendly and sweet. Best server I have ever had. We were a little undecided on food and she recommended a couple dishes that did not disappoint! Delicious food and amazing service! As my 8 year old says, 10/10.

  • 5/5 Isaac B. 1 year ago on Google
    Katt was great. Professional. Quick. Funny. And all round great spirit. Did a great job of making us feel welcomed and had no issues with the food or anything at all. Top notch.

  • 5/5 Iveliz A. 9 months ago on Google
    Katt was an amazing waitress so attentive, kind, and lively. She really made us feel at home. She kept a very quirky and up spirited vibe, she deserves a raise!!!

  • 5/5 Keyana (. 2 years ago on Google
    Our server Diana was awesome, service started at the door and as she cleaned up after the last guests she kept us engaged in conversation. She was extremely patient and helpful in getting our orders taken and our drinks to the table. When she brought our appetizers out for us to enjoy, she updated us with an ETA of when the entrées would be out, and asked if we were enjoying our time and food; she was pleasant and professional a total breath of fresh air. This being our third Applebee's in Tampa to try, she made the experience rank at #1, so Diana we'll be back to see you soon. You were the best server and your attitude made us feel there was no wait, we arrived at 658p and left at 820p smiling, we enjoyed our time tremendously and you definitely had the best customer service I've seen at an Applebee's. Thanks again Diana and the unseen chef for the yum yum 😋....

  • 5/5 Luisa F. 8 months ago on Google
    Katt was very nice with us. She recommended me a perfect margarita, I'm really enjoyed it. She had a good empathy and give us an excellent service!! Half rack of ribs was delicious and perfect amount 😋😋..

  • 4/5 Sandy M. 8 months ago on Google
    Service was good. It was a slow time of day and they came often enough but not so much as to be intrusive. Food choice sounded better on the menu than how it tasted, but it wasn't bad. Nice place to sit and catch up with a friend.
