My family of 3 went to Applebee's on Trimble Rd/E Broadway in Columbia, Missouri about 2:30 today, March 16, 2021.
Ordered only Hamburgers, fries and sides of boneless wings. We were only people/ table seated in the bar area. We were the only table for a while. Others came in after and were seated in the restaurant area with only one waiter taking care of all of them, who by the way got their orders out before our waitress did ours.
As we were waiting and waiting our waitress was standing in the back area talking with a gentleman for several minutes. Finally, she came and apologized for the wait, said burgers were almost ready. Came back 3 or 4 minutes after that and said now just waiting on fries. We were getting our coats on to just leave told her not to bother with order any longer. She ran to get the manager. Who came out and happened to be the person she was visiting with for 10 minutes while we had been waiting on food. He apologized for such long wait. Got us go boxes and left. Never to reappear. The waitress came back and apologized again but complaining that they don't give her enough help in her area and was cooks fault as well. We paid the full bill packed up our food and carried containers of food out. No bag was offered to at least make it easier to carry. Food was very good. We may return in the future. Just will not stay if we don't see the other waiter there who is excellent. Wish I could remember his name.
Desired outcome: Just FYI. Better management would probably solve the problem
