Applebee's - Greenwood

Food was great last time I went, which was about a month ago. One downside was it was a bit too cold for my family and me.

Well you better strap yourselves in because I 've got a story for y 'all you 'll either be shocked or humored (or both . We were staying in the Hampton Inn across the street and were just driving through Greenwood. We decided that we wanted to get a little ~saucy~ at the Applebee 's since we didn 't know the town very well anyways and wanted to have a fun night with some cheap drinks. First of all, when we walked in it appeared that there were only two people working in the restaurant. We had a seat at the bar where we quickly realized that this wasn 't going to be the night that we had planned it to be. There was a girl working behind the bar that explained to us that the bartender had gone home sick (ahem... Covid? and so she was the only one available to work the bar. She also explained that she 's actually a hostess and only 19 (ummm... . Mind you this place is pretty dead I think there were only two tables sat and my BF and I were sitting at the bar. I started by ordering a beer on draft and this poor girl was literally asking me how to pour a beer from the tap (lol wat... and the couple of guests at the bar start trying to instruct her on what to do. Then my BF orders a gin tonic... which she responds to by giving us both a very weird look. He repeats himself again and she continues giving us this strange look. He says it 's gin and then tonic water , and I SHIT YOU NOT she says oh I thought you said 'genitalia ' I was real confused . We were both dumbfounded haha like at this point we 're looking around for the hidden camera. She finally puts together a very questionable gin tonic after trying to figure out which bottle of liquor is gin. When we 're ready for a second drink I order another draft beer. Unfortunately at that point now the tap lines are frozen? So they can 't pour any draft beer. I ask her what bottled beer they have available and she has literally no clue. She starts lifting bottles out of the ice box and reading the labels to me. I ask for a corona and she 's pulling beers out one by one to find one that reads 'corona ' on the label. Finally the draft lines unfreeze for one of the beers on draft and this girl literally lets some random guy sitting at the bar come back and pour his own beers. So we finally get around to ordering food my BF ordered wings and I had some sort of shrimp dish. The food comes out and my BF starts eating his wings, and when this girl comes around and asks how the food is my BF goes 'wings are pretty good, have you had them before? '. Once again I SHIT YOU NOT... as he 's eating them she says 'no I don 't eat the wings here they make me sick '. We both look at each other like ~what the f*ck~. The food was really not that great and being told by the server that the food makes her sick while we 're eating was absolutely insane. This whole situation was just wiiild and I was sure that we were on some sort of TV show. We ended up only having two drinks because every order was such an effort and we were basically educating this underage girl on alcohol and bartending. I don 't think I will EVER revisit this Applebee 's unless I 'm like 7 drinks in, and in need of a good laugh. In the end, despite the very strange conversations we had with her (eg 'genitalia ' , I sort of felt bad for this 19 year old hostess who was just trying to manage a whole restaurant. But, damn, there 's got to be some serious mismanagement at this Applebee 's. Get it together!!

Excuse my language and I really hope I don 't get kicked off this app for this, but seriously, FUCK this place. We ordered them through DoorDash, no hate towards our driver because none of it was his fault. When he pulled up with the food, I immediately knew something was wrong because I ordered a sweet tea, of which I didn 't have with my order. I shook it off, assuming it was just a mistake even though I paid for it. Anyways, my husband and I ordered the 2 for $20. Our appetizer was mozzarella sticks. He ordered a 6oz Sirloin Medium for his entree with a double order of fries. I ordered a classic cheeseburger as my entree with fries as well. Our bag of food had two boxes of fries so at first glance, I thought everything was fine. Once I started digging to pull out our actual food, our appetizers were way wrong. It had three mozzarella sticks and three boneless wings, that we didn 't order. Underneath that was a sirloin steak, cooked well, not what was ordered. However, there was no burger, anywhere. Underneath the sirloin was a box of chips with salsa guacamole, of which neither me nor my husband eats. The funny thing out of all of this was that our receipt was correct, but the food was very very wrong! So, we contacted DoorDash, and the customer service representative who helped us literally called Applebee 's to get our order fixed and redelivered. It was 10:52 at this time and Applebee 's closes at 11:00. Regardless, we were notified that Applebee 's was fixing our order and that our dasher was at the store waiting on it. However, when it hit 11:00, our order got canceled completely because the store was 'now closed ' as DoorDash had worded it, and I was FLAMING. Closed or not, Applebee 's fucked up and they needed to fix it, simple as that. Now I 'm out $40 and I 'm not happy about it. I didn 't even get food I would eat other then three mozzarella sticks, great dinner, huh?

It says on this site that they have outdoor seating, so we went by to try them out. Turns out, they do NOT have outdoor seating, so we did not stop to eat.

I was disappointed in this visit at 10:04pm on a weekday. The hostess was smiling and pleasant upon entry. However, my chicken parmagian was over cooked and the marinara sauce on the dried noodles was sparse. My wife enjoyed the tomato basil soup and house salad. The server was sweeping the carpet around us as we ate which is no-no at most restaurants. I was also informed that this Applebee's no longer offers either the 10% military or AARP discounts offered at other locations. They will participate on 11 Nov with the military free meal for Veterans Day which is appreciated.
