Applebee's Neighborhood Grill - Joplin

It's challenging to find enough staff these days, but we should truly appreciate the dedicated few who strive to provide a great experience. It's tough for them to manage the workload of multiple people! So, while it took a bit longer to get our food, it was just as delicious as always. Food rating: 5/5.

Our waitress was very friendly, and we were seated quickly while they finished cleaning the table, which I really appreciated because I don't like standing for too long—it hurts my back. The food was excellent, so I definitely recommend this place!

The worst experience I had with applebee. waited for drinks for only a part of us. then wait for food to wait for drinks refills. people who have set after us got their food and ate and went before we even got our appetizers. After 2 1/2 hours in the restaurant we had to wait longer to get our bank cards back so we could go. not even an excuse or something. I can guarantee that we will go somewhere else next time my family will eat with us.

Mediocre experience. I visited to take advantage of the promotion for adding shrimp for just $1. The server did suggest grilled shrimp, but didn't mention that there would be an additional charge for that option. There seemed to be a lot of hidden fees, so be cautious. The restroom was unusually hot—definitely not ideal for comfort. Additionally, walking past the kitchen on the way to the restroom was unappealing. We were the first customers of the day, yet there was food splattered on the walls that clearly had been there for some time. The floors throughout the dining area also appeared tacky. This place could really use a thorough cleaning!

It was a little pricey and the portions were small. Not to mention my steak was like a tasteless rock. However, the service was great.
