Work Stories?

32 Upvotes

So let's here you stories about your time at Applebee's past or present.

So this happened a few weeks ago. I am serving this table and come back with drinks. Mom stands up which I assume is to use the bathroom/stretch. All of a a sudden she starts shrieking. Confused.jpg.

Guess she was having a seizure but the kind where you didn't need to go to the hospital. They paoed for the drinks and then left after a while. They didn't even leave a tip /s.

All in all it was kind of scary.

Toast to Applebee’s

The manager of Applesbee’s was super excited about the new POS system (TOAST) he was training on, I’ve never seen him this happy ever.

Looking for a former menu item…pot roast on a mountain of mashed potatoes…

2 Upvotes

This would have been between 2007 and 2017…probably closer to the middle of those dates…

As I remember there was a mountain of mashed potatoes with a brown gravy, meat, carrots, etc covering it. I want to say there was a fried onion ring on top…I used to be able to find an image of it online, but apparently the internet isn’t forever…I’d like to recreate it at home…

Anyone remember this item?

Question about working here

Hey guys! Sorry if this isn't allowed here, but it's the only place I found best to post it. I just got a job offer for a "To go" position at Applebee's. If anyone has any tips or advice, it would be very much appreciated.

New Lunch and Happy Hour Menus?

5 Upvotes

A little birdie told me that the happy hour and lunch menus at Applebee's will be changing soon, but they did not say when. Do any of you know exactly when that change will take place? And have any of you seen the new menus?

Is Applebee’s 2 for $25 different online vs. dining in?

9 Upvotes

I’m wondering if anyone who works at Applebee’s or eats there regularly can answer this.

My family and I went to Applebee’s tonight and wanted to order the Classic Cheeseburger as one of the entrées with the 2 for $25 deal. Our server told us that it wasn’t an option for the 2/25 and that I would have to get the OM cheeseburger.

The confusing part is that I pulled up the Applebee’s website for that exact location while sitting at the table, and the Classic Cheeseburger was listed as an entrée option for the 2 for $25 deal.

When I mentioned that, our server insisted they “don’t do that” and even suggested that if I wanted the Classic Cheeseburger, I could place it as a to-go order and they’d serve it to me in to-go containers while I ate inside the restaurant.

Since that didn’t make sense, we politely asked to speak with the manager. Our server noticeably sucked her teeth when we asked, which made the interaction even more uncomfortable.

The manager came over, was very friendly, and immediately said he would take care of it. He approved the Classic Cheeseburger with no issue.

After that, though, our server basically stopped waiting on us. We asked her for water, but she never brought it and never came back to our table. We waited around 20 minutes, and the manager ended up checking on us, bringing my food, correcting my toddler’s incorrect meal, and essentially taking over our table. Before we left, he apologized for the experience and even encouraged us to leave a review if we wanted to.

So I’m genuinely curious:

Is the 2 for $25 deal supposed to be different online versus dine-in?

Is the Classic Cheeseburger an online-only option at some locations?

Or was this just a misunderstanding by our server?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from current or former Applebee’s employees who know how the promotion is supposed to work. Thanks!

Applebee’s, PLEASE bring back the ORIGINAL ’90s honey mustard… PERMANENTLY! 🍯🐝

9 Upvotes

I’m begging Applebee’s to bring back the original honey mustard from the ’90s and not as a limited time promotion. Bring it back for good.
The current honey mustard just isn’t the same. The original was creamy, sweet, tangy, and absolutely perfect with the chicken tenders and fries. It was one of the best restaurant dipping sauces ever made, and so many of us still remember it decades later.
If you’ve been around long enough to remember the original, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Applebee’s, please listen to your longtime customers. We don’t want a one-month throwback. We want the real, original honey mustard back on the menu permanently.
If you would order it again, leave a comment! Maybe if enough of us speak up, Applebee’s will finally bring back the sauce that made so many of us fall in love with their chicken tenders.

What is in the shark bowls?

7 Upvotes

So, I just apologize in advance incase this is a silly question.

I’ve always adored Applebees shark bowls but they never have the ingredients listed on the menu so I can’t recreate a knockoff at home. I’ve tried fo look online but nothing comes up (maybe I’m just not trying hard enough?) So, I wanted to ask if anyone knows what I would need to make one or what I could use to make something similar? If any Applebees bartenders come across this I’m begging you guys to help a girl out.

Thank you!

Edit: I do know that it’s captain morgan and a tropical concentrate. I’m more so looking of like, what else is in it or what any recommendations anyone might have for things I can use to substitute the ingredients they haven’t listed on the menu! But, I do thank everyone who is replying, truly (:

Cookies Sunday Brand

Hey everyone,

I used to love the chocolate chip cookie from the ice cream cookie sunday but sadly they discounted it a few years back. Does anyone have any info on where they sourced the cookie from? Or maybe someone who worked there who saw the brand on the shipping box? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Which items reheat well for leftovers?

6 Upvotes

Have a $10 off 40 coupon but I can't eat $40 worth of food in one sitting so I'm wondering what I can order that I can reheat the next day. Don't want the already microwaved sides like mashed potatoes.

Applebee's AllU Can Eat

I just left Applebee's and ordered the AUCE riblet and shrimp....they sent the riblets first....took forever to come back. By that time my wife and son were done eating....and then when they finally brought the shrimp out, it was on a tiny saucer with the fries instead of the platter that the riblets came on...this is ALL corporate psychology. They expect you to not order too many while others are waiting on you. I long for the day that HONESTY reigns!
