    A great restaurant for those seeking great music and atmosphere! If you are seeking low key conversation with great cocktails and music, AppleBee’s Grill and Bar in Xenia is the place to be! Staff is upbeat and music is’Kickin’. When I’m seeking off the Beaten Path and later hours, this is my ‘Go to’!!! Say ‘Hi’ to the staff, and please remember to tip the waiters/waitresses as they are well worth it!!!

    Still waiting over an hour for food. Been told that they are extremely busy. As you can see in the pic that’s there are hardly any customers. Was told carry out takes precedence over dining in. Asked for manager and she could not manage the problem and had to call another manager in. I’ve asked for general manager contact and they will only give me a name an no contact info. This is not the first time there has been an issue at this establishment. But I guarantee this will be my last time there.

    The food and service is always good here. We usually order all appetizers of boneless wings, chicken wonton tacos and pretzel sticks with beer cheese. This is plenty of food for 2 people. The food did take a while to get to our table - about 20 to 25 minutes for just appetizers, so that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It was hot and fresh though. The fried wonton chicken tacos are a good mix of sweet and sour and are my favorite. I sometimes get the perfect margarita. It's probably the best margarita I've had from anywhere. Will visit again soon.

    Ok guys and gals, if you are here on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, you have to ask for Kevin. He is an amazing waiter and I promise your drink will never go dry. My husband and I visit once a month and Kevin knows exactly what we want to drink and what appetizer we want to start with. You will not be disappointed sitting in his section. As far as the food goes, the beer cheese and pretzels is a must! I also ordered the seasonal drink Strawberry Merry Swirl (pictured) and it was phenomenal! As always 5 out of 5 and can't wait to go back.

    Pleasantly surprised. We reluctantly chose to celebrate a birthday at Applebee's. Hadn't been there in many years. Everyone's meal was excellent. The bourbon chicken and ribs stole the show. Will definitely return.

    I had a very long drive and stopped for a meal. The food was delicious and so hot 🔥 I had to let it cool before eating. My server Isaiah was prompt and friendly.

    The place wasn't incredibly busy. Such initially slow service, but it seemed to improve. The dining room was dirty... and yet the restroom was atrocious!! HORRIBLE!! I located 2 employees, my server, and another gentleman who was leaning... as the 2 talked. Upon notifying them of the restroom... the guy, simply replied in a "whatever" kind of tone, "ok." My server offered an apology. I later discovered that the guy... was... the MANAGER!! WOW!! Several minutes later I returned to the restroom.... it was untouched. (Pardon the pics...)

    Food was great and the waitress was wonderful. A little under staff but who isn't today. We didn't have to wait but you can tell they are ran ragged but she still had a smile on her face. 5 stars all around

    Makensey C was our server and she was FANTASTIC!! Friendly and the food was hot and tasted GREAT! Makenzey C was by far one of the best servers we have had here in our last 10 visits.

    Went there on a break in between soccer games. The food was amazing, and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The only negative was the off the clock management talking with employees endlessly and felt unprofessional.

  • 2/5 Steve A. 7 months ago on Google
    If you want to order food to go for 5 people and get home to realize they forgot an item in the 2 for $25, then order from here. Fortunately, I was able to eat the appetizer, but I am disappointed about the missing meal. Service was good though.

    FOS was amazing as usual. Tried the bourbon street mushroom Swiss burger tonight for the first time. It was so good. One of the better mushroom Swiss burgers I've had anywhere. Their FF were cooked perfectly too. Pop prices have become ridiculous $2.99 is outrageous.

    The carpet was dirty as hell with napkins, empty sugar packs and straw wrappers laying on the floor. The table was clean but the dessert which I always order was horrible.

  • 3/5 Jay B. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was just ok. Ribs were overdone. Our waiter in the middle of our service said he had to run. A nice waitress took our table for him. However, when we left 20 minutes later he was still working other tables.

    I had a wonderful experience the service was polite and prompt food came out and correct the first time will definitely come back again

    Went today and they were busy. Service was slow. My mom ordered nachos that came out without the sour cream or guacamole. Had to ask the server to bring sour cream. I ordered a salad and asked for extra dressing. I got one cup of dressing which ended up being enough so I didn't say anything. Got the bill and they charged me for the sour cream and 3 times for extra salad dressing. I didn't look at the bill before I paid my mistake. BUT CHECK YOUR BILLS FOR EXTRA CHARGES!!!!

    Service was slow. Food came out after 45 minutes even though they had very few customers at the tables, maybe a total of 5 tables occupied. Other than that, the employees were super nice.

  • 2/5 Alex F. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered cheeseburgers and a steak The steak was ordered medium rare. The burgers were difficult to eat because of how burnt they were. The stake came out so well done that it was actually burnt not just exaggerating about not liking well done steak but completely charred to hell and back. Our server was friendly and when we finally got the courage to ask them to cook the steak correctly it came out looking a little sad but was the correct temperature inside. I find it difficult to assume that they were cooking poorly due to it being busy because the restaurant was nearly empty I'd say they were about maybe five tables occupied out of the maybe 50 or so in the entire restaurant. I don't usually leave bad reviews but the experience here was less than satisfactory.

    Food was great, service is definitely the flaw. Place was not busy. Waited mid way through meal for straws after asking for them still didnt get any. Stopped waiting and grab them from the bar myself. Did not receive a refill on drink. Waitress seemed like she was in a hurry or had somewhere to be. Had food come out on a dirty plate and was given dirty silverware.

    We had a birthday dinner for my dad. A total of 25 people our waitress McKenna J did a wonderful job. Kudos to her for keeps drinks filled food came out in a timely manner just a very good job all around for having such a larger party with multiple babies.

  • 3/5 Terri M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food & staff were excellent!! The waitress didn't come by every two minutes to check on us, spacing her time out for checking on us, perfectly. The reason I gave it 3 stars, however, was my silverware. Had to send it back, it was...YUCK!! Spoke with the manager about it, she took care of it.

  • 4/5 Felicia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great! Server was nice but not super attentive. Our appetizers and salads came out with our meal..There was 5 of us and she completely forget one order even after bringing out our food.. she mixed up food orders and put them on anothers bill..

  • 3/5 Jessi H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and everything was fine. But honestly they aren’t set up for large groups. So we waited a good while before being served. Staff was nice and everything I just wouldn’t recommend coming here with a group without making a reservation first.

    Visited the xenia location yesterday and it was awful. First we sat for about 20 minutes before our server came over and took our drink order. When our food arrived after another 20 minutes there was a huge black hair in my order, I told the server who took the hair back but never told the manager. I didn't want my food remade as I was tired of waiting. A different server came to check on refills for us. We both had Mountain dew, I'm a bigger guy and my friend is skinny. He said Mountain dew to my skinny friend but asked if it's diet for me. The manager never checked on us and they charged me full price for my hair food. Will not be going back. Accidents happen but no manager coming or discount is unacceptable!

    Everything was hot and fresh. We both got the 2-$27. Broubon Street Chicken and Shrimp. Cheese sticks for starters

  • 5/5 Ted H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and even had a live band at the bar. It was after 9pm and was fun! Waiters and other guests were having a great time but the older couples were annoyed and left. Probably went to Bob Evans right next door🤣😂
