Applebee's Grill + Bar

Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter were very nice. Our waiters were awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. The bartenders knew their mixology and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hang out, chill or go out on a date.

Frederick City and it's surrounding areas have much better restaurants to enjoy than Applebee's. This an embarrassing restaurant to be in our great city of Frederick. I have dined with my family here on a few occasions. Tonight's dining experience was quite unpleasant. The only good thing I can honestly say with positivity would be that I admired our server's ability to handle an obviously out of control situation. She was overwhelmed with trying to serve a large area and large groups of diners. I felt great admiration for her due to her ability to keep smiling, maintain a professional behavior and serve her patrons well despite the fact that meals weren't coming out in a reasonable time. The water and ice served desperately needs a filtering system because it tasted as if it was collected from a dark and moldy cave ceiling. The Endless Boneless Wings advertised were "endless" time waiting to get them. They were tough, dry and the sauces were a disappointment. It's my opinion that our server deserved to receive the entire amount of the bill for herself. Server outstanding. Beverage, meal and dining experience really awful. Not interested in going ever again.

Cons-The chicken strip for my mom were made of rubber I believe, food took over an hour to come out after ordering, then waiters brought out food at least 4 times for us that was actually for other customers over the 2 hours we were there. The restrooms were to filthy to utilize. My 7yo daughters pizza was not actually cooked and tasted horrible. Like raw dough with cheese and sauce just microwaved and not baked. Employees had their infant children in theirs arms while working and bar tending. Pros-my food was tasty but only mine. Our waitress was very nice

My friend and I enjoyed a l-o-n-g lunch a few days ago at Applebee's in Frederick, Md. Since we are only able to get together once or twice a year, it takes time to catch up with sharing. Our waiter "Ethan" was wonderful! There was no rushing us, and he was very accommodating to our needs and desires. We chose the 2 for $30 entrees. And of course, we had to end our meal with that luscious chocolate, gooey, lava cake. Oh my. Such a treat!!

This place has gone downhill in the last few years. First, the salad, the easiest thing to not screw up, the lettuce was wilted and dirty. I got the 8 oz steak, not only was it over cooked, it was some cut that looked like a cow hoof. It was dry with no flavor.

Sunday visit around dinner time. Smokers outside the door let fumes waft inside. That was unpleasant. Our waitress was pulling double duty on the bar so the service was below par. They gave us a 10% discount on their own accord. Must have known we weren't happy. Our food came out perfectly hot and fresh but in stages, meaning the whole table did not get our food at the same time. A little awkward for us but oh well. Never saw a manager onsite whatsoever. Would have liked to have talked to them about improvements but whatever. Not sure we will be back.

Seriously disappointed with my Mother’s Day dinner. The steak was flavorless and undercooked, which actually worked to my advantage when I took it home and fixed it. The loaded mashed potatoes were bland and the cheese was barely melted. The wings and pretzel sticks were good. The server…made a few comments that were not received well with us.

The staff was friendly. We didn’t have a long wait. My wife and I had the Quesadilla Burger and it was mediocre. The tortilla was not soft, the ingredients were bland and lacked flavor. It had bacon on it and I couldn’t taste it at all. The burger was decent. Not their best menu item at that location.

STAY AWAY!!! DO NOT COME HERE!! I was visiting recently with some friends. 2 of us received our meals and 2 did not. We hadn't seen our waitress for awhile so we asked another waitress and she gave us attitude and couldn't be bothered. When our waitress finally showed she acted like she didn't care and seemed nonchalant about it. I never got my meal. There was arguing and some type of loud scuffle in the kitchen. No manager was available to complain to. We left disgusted with the service that we received. I would NEVER eat here again NOR would I ever recommended this place.

Food was disgusting was not able to finish it I would give no star if had a choice. My daughter got sick after eating from this place. Service was ok took forever to bring out one of the platter.Food: 1/5
