Applebee's Grill - Nottingham

The staff was wearing masks, the restaurant was spotless, and there was hand sanitizer everywhere, which I really appreciated. This location has more of a sports bar vibe compared to their other locations. The service is excellent, the drinks are fantastic, and the food is quite good. It's the perfect spot for a family dinner, allowing your partner to catch their favorite game. They have TVs all over the place, not just at the bar. I highly recommend this venue for solo drinks at the bar while enjoying your favorite sports, for outings with friends, or for a family night out.

I sat at the bar, and it was quite unsatisfactory. Although they wiped it down with sanitizing wipes, I feel it needed a thorough cleaning with hot, soapy towels or a more effective cleaning solution first. However, I must say that their late-night happy hour after 9 PM is fantastic, with great drink specials and half-priced appetizers.

Absolutely terrible. The lighting was dim, making it difficult to read the menu. They seated us next to a loud group, which made it impossible to carry on a conversation, even though the entire restaurant was empty. And don’t get me started on the food! The pictures clearly show why I’m dissatisfied. The quality is just mediocre, and at this location, they’ve reduced portion sizes while raising prices. To top it off, when I asked the manager to correct my chicken portion, she had the nerve to roll her eyes at me. I sent my food back and will not be returning.

After being promptly seated, we were left to sit. Multiple servers passed our table without saying a word. After waiting for at least 15 minutes, we left. We realize staffing is short but someone could at least have stopped to let us know they'd be with us. Will not return to this establishment.

Today was my best dinning experience since COVID. Lexis is an awesome server. She was smiling and polite. She checked on us multiple times to make sure we were okay. I highly recommend that you ask to be seated in Lexis area.
