Applebee's Grill - Overland Park

The restaurant was very short staff. the type in the dining room did everything. he really ran his **** and he probably apologised to everyone there. I'm sorry for him. that was still great. I was worried because we came there shortly after 11 with a midnight closure. it took 20 minutes to sit because the poor guy tried to catch up. the girl in the bar did not help. I saw three people left. I feared the kitchen would hate us because we had waited so long to sit and then take our order; but that didn't seem to be the way that food was in order. I hope they will help the young man soon.

Applebee's needs to step up there game. The food was OK at best and the beer selection is a 5/10. What was really weird was how freely the staff talk about internal issues in front of patrons who they don't know. There was a gentlemen in there who appeared to be a manager talking about a particular food item that was super simplistic to make and couldn't believe how much they charged for it. It gave me the impression that the food being cooked is fast food and just a reheated dish. Very odd!

We got here and got seated down very rudely. The guy just threw the menus on the table and left. When we received the food he didn’t ask if we need anything just put the plates on the table and walked off. I asked for no ranch and my food came with a cup of ranch that had spilled all over my plate. Just rude and unprofessional.

Worst Applebee's ever. Server was terrible. It took 20 mins to get our drinks this was at 930 pm when there hardly anyone there. Our appetizer came first.. no appetizer plates offered... and our meal was mediocre. Bourbon street chicken and shrimp...mashed potatoes were cold, the shrimp was okay but not properly seasoned, as this is a dish we get every single time we go...I did manage to snap a picture of the chicken, which was dry and clearly no seasoning anywhere. Not to mention when it was time to pay, we were given our check and then had to ask the bartender where our waitress was in order to leave.

Wow, could not believe what happened here last night. I took my wife here, was her birthday and we were visiting here for a family emergency earlier that day. Saw people walking out in disgust?? Went in and the manager had this young teenager telling people they are not taking customers anymore because they had a group of 40 come in and could not handle things. First, whoever you are as a manager, go up to the front yourself and take the brunt of others being disappointed rather than throwing this young girl to the wolves. Second, how do you just close to customers on a Saturday evening? Unbelievable.
