  We placed our order online and when we arrived it was not ready. The hostess said it was almost ready and 45 minutes later it was.
  We were not impressed by the food at all. Wings were cold by the time we got home. BTW five dollar will get you about half a small container of clam chowder. This experience just reinforces why we don't eat here more often.

  Fun, family style, chain restaurant, with a variety of menu options and a sports bar feel. They also offer groups meal discounts and happy hour specials.

  Food was awful, even the burgers. I sent back two plates and just settled for the third. Staff was okay, but not very helpful... my kiddos enjoyed the tablets so I can give two stars instead of one..

  Applebee's hosted our family gift exchange this year. We had five adults and two toddlers who were all pleased with our meals. We liked the variety of options, and the knowledgeable wait staff. Our server was able to answer several questions we had regarding the menu, ranging from how spicy is a dish, to the quantity of lettuce in a salad. She was also very kind in accommodating my mother's request for chocolate milk, which isn’t usually on the adult menu. She even did the “say when” thing so that my mother got the preferred ratio of chocolate to milk.
  
  There was an issue with my order. I had chosen a sirloin steak with steamed broccoli and cheddar bacon potatoes. My plate arrived with the wrong sides. They had absolutely no problem fixing this. My plate had gotten mixed up with another table’s order due to a very busy kitchen. Making a side dish mistake is not the end of the world, and I wasn’t even upset because they were going to fix it. But I was shocked when the person who had actually made the mistake came out and apologized personally. She was a bartender who had stepped into the kitchen to help because it was busy and she just got two steak orders confused. They offered to give me soup, salad or anything else I wanted while I waited for my order to be remade. Ultimately they ended up comping my meal.
  
  This is the only time in my life that I have had a restaurant employee not only explain why the mistake happened, but actually own it. She accepted responsibility for it. That is a huge deal to me. So few people are willing to take responsibility for their actions.
  
  My steak was really good, cooked exactly to the doneness that I ordered and could be cut with a dinner knife, I didn’t need the steak knife.
  
  The next time I am in Olympia I will be choosing Applebee’s again.
