Terrible Do Not Waste Your Time Or Money Here! COLD FOOD, HORRIBLE SERVICE! 4 other couple left after seeing our horrible service! The youngest waitress was more worried about flirting than cleaning up tables, our waitress served three tables that were seated after us, their food before us, we ordered before they even came in. Our food came out cold with out our side dishes. Order of brisket was hard and cold, wasnt enough to put on a bun I ordered the dinner. My girl had ordered fried shrimp that was cold, our order took over forty five minutes. The oldest server was the only one on the floor worth having as an employee. Others bitched to her because she was trying to keep the place clean and keep people happy. We also waited at front door by the sign that said please wait to be seated for ten minutes before walking ourselves to kitchen for service. This establishment is a disgrace to the name Applewood which used to be a great place. I cant wait till they close due to poor service and long wait times. Only one server was doing her job, picking up slack for other two that only care for guest they know. I will never return and going to spread the bad word to all of our motorcycle friends and others we know from between rising sun to cinti, also all poker runs Im part of. Please read this and dont have them waste your time and money.

This place has set a whole new level of consistent poor service ... actually poor service would imply that you actually was served in the first place ! ... I live very close so it is convenient for a late evening dinner and cocktail but 3 times in a row we have come in around 9-9:30 (not very busy) and have been taken to our table given menus only to never have a server show up ... we are talking 30 min. + , no water, no cocktail, nothing !!! this last time we even joked "do we dare go and be ignored again" we gambled and lost, again 30 min. after being seated not even a glass of water... and again they were not busy so thats not the excuse, I own 2 service based businesses and am not always able to meet customer expectations due to be overwhelmed with work or bad weather so Im pretty understanding ... but this place has set the bar as low as it can possibly go when it comes to customer service ... BTW we went up the street a few miles to L-Burg Drinks and more and had drinks and menus in under 3 minutes ... from now on Ill drive the 5 minutes and give them my business !

2 reviews 1.0 star rating 4/10/2017 We had reservations for a party of 15 at 2:00 Sunday, April 9th. They should have been prepared we didnt just walk in. We were there for over 2.5 hours service was SLOW and never got the orders right. Salads were warm they had been sitting out, not made fresh. Dinners cold and missing sides. Placed a carry out order at 4:20, party left leaving one person to wait on the carry out which didnt come out until 5:15, 45 mins wait by herself. Shrimp Po Boy 6 pieces of shrimp, seriously. They were out of chili could not order the nachos, out of pasta could not order the voodoo pasta and of all things out of APPLES, this is the item that makes the "The Angry Chops", they werent so angry, but the one who ordered was!! At one point the person cleaning up the tables had to bring us water when we asked. Server was ghosted like the peppers! New owners will not make it!!! Without the view and bikers they wont have anyone come back. We spend over $325 (includes tip but no alcohol drinks) Never again!!!!!

Not sure if it was the norm or an off night (considering Trip Advisers reviews, Im guessing this is normal) but this was not a great place to go. The live band was meh, we saw a server a total of 3 times in the whole time we were there, the bar was so slammed the ONLY bartender on duty was running her own food orders. Patrons jumped behind the bar to help out. I eventually left because wed only been able to get drink orders in via a server (everything else I went to the bar for on my own) in the almost 2 hours we were there. My sister stayed later and said she didnt receive food until close to midnight. Our group arrived around 8/8:30. The venue itself? Totally fine--large outdoor patio and bar, view of the Ohio River, nice building...but the service was incredibly lacking. Dont waste your time.

Visited for a dinner following a family members wedding rehearsal and every single persons food was cold and disgusting. The owner served the tables himself and took several hours to do so. My mom was told by a worker that she quit tonight because the owner refused to see a customer making a complaint because their food was disgusting too, all because it wasnt worth his time. This owner thought it was unfair that he was confronted regardless of the fact that more than half of the family planned to stop for fast food instead of finishing the cold and disgusting meals. The owner just asked if everyone was "eventually" served and since they were, he did not seem concerned with his businesses customer service. Wouldnt ever consider attending this restaurant again.

We went on a busy night and got seats upstairs. Got our water immediately but had to wait about 5+ minutes for tea because they had to go downstairs to get it. Burger wasnt Great but it was decent. Cod Po boy was good, bread couldve been toasted a little more. Sauce on jalapeño poppers was amazing! Server was nice. Took about 40-50 minutes to get food. Owner was EXTREMELY NICE! Came around a lot asking how we were doing and genuinely wanted to know our critiques about the food. People were nice. Service was slow and food was decent, not sure if worth the price though.

Service was fine. They had a wine list but only had 1 wine. Strike 1! I dont like beer! Food came. I ordered the stuffed burger. It was supposed to have mushrooms, bacon, cheese in and on top. Had 1 mushroom and cheese on top. Although it tasted fine, it was missing the stuffing. It was a regular cheese burger for $12.00. Strike 2. Said they have music every night.....except this Saturday. Strike 3! They really missed it beause we used to come over on Friday night with 9 of us. We live in Ky so it is 1/2 hr drive. Wont be back and wont reccomend.

Very disappointing dinner. 20 minutes after placing my order, they tell me they are out of brisket. After nearly an hour waiting on the food, it was cold. Broccoli casserole...had better from a $1 bag from Kroger. Mac and cheese hardly better than Kraft. Lovely setting by the river, nice waitress who ran herself ragged, but the kitchen couldnt keep and sent food out that cold unappetizing and nothing to write home about. I was glad to see the place had reopened, but perhaps this is why it closed the last time. Dont expect to ever go back. Too bad.

This restaurant has the WORST service ever!!! Waitress clearly failed to put in part of our order so everyones food arrived and one member of our party didnt receive her food. No apology was offered and we asked to speak with the manager who came out wearing a stained apron and was more likely a cook rather than a manager. Again no apology was given. 15 minutes after everyone else ate, they finally brought out the missing food. We will NEVER eat at this restaurant again!!! I would not eat at this restaurant if I were you.
