I came here just a few times by myself when I’m shopping in the area and I was compelled to write a quick review. I have had great service by the same waitress who even recognized me! I ordered wine and steak and it was spot on. She made sure I had enough wine :) and I was totally content! It was quiet enough for me to enjoy a little dinner while reading on my phone.

I wrote a review for this Applebee’s earlier in my reviews and it was a limited review as it was only based on their«to-go» orders. Today, I went into Applebee’s because it was conveniently located to my apartment, my mom and I were hungry after running some errands and I honestly wanted to give it another ‘chance’. To get straight to the point, the in-restaurant experience was far better than my «to-go» experience with this Applebees. As with most chain-restaurants you expect ‘decent food’ with a clean environment, good service and leave with a full and satisfied stomach. A review of my «to-go» experience is that their food had to be their ‘mistakes’ or the orders they care-less about and give to customers who come to pick up food from this location. The pictures I posted of the food was not appetizing at all. I mention that once again because the food in-house was actually aesthetically appealing AND was ‘good’ in the taste department. Service was from a really nice waitress that, though I forget her name, her service was memorable. My personal thoughts are that chain-restaurants won’t have you raving about their food for days after you have it, but it is a place you go that won’t break the bank and just fill the belly with«no-bad-eats». So — I did have a good experience and a better opinion about this Applebee’s Restaurant. It’s okay in my book.

This place Applebee’s food is ‘Horrible’ I order 2 for $ 20 meal. I had order lemon chicken n it came with rice. Rice is so hard n very dry. Even chicken were very dry no flavor n chicken were burnt. I did not pay for this horrible meal. They need to fire this chef who ever made this horrible food. Get another chef who know how to cook with flavor!!! This chef need to go back to culinary school n start from the bottom. Chef Ramsey came to this Resturant ate this food. He would of spit it out!!! That’s how ‘Horrible food is. I would give Zero rating to Applebee’s. They need to improve their food n get new chef. No flavor to the food no one will dine in. Food is all abt presentation, taste n flavor. We all first eat with the eyes then taste. Get a new chef Applebee’s!!!

A friend and I stopped in recently for lunch. We were greeted by a very personable young lady who was to be our server. We found her to be quite attentive as she stopped by our table quite a few times to ask if we needed our drinks refilled, and if everything was okay, etc. I thought the $ 10 price tag for approximately a cup of salad and roughly a cup of soup was a bit steep, but I was really more disappointed to see one other thing, or rather the lack of something. With the exception of the skimpy soup and salad, there was truly nothing on the menu that was diabetic friendly. When are restaurants going to smarten up and realize that just like everyone else diabetics need to eat? The problem is, we cannot eat most things that those who are not diabetic can eat. I am tired of paying for French fries, other potatoes and other high carb starches and so on that usually come with the meal(and that I cannot consume) which would send my glucose levels off the scale! This also goes for bread, buns, and croissants, which usually accompany burgers, other meats and cheese. To me, the ideal sandwich would a serving of food without the bread — and it should reflect the lack of bread in the price I need to pay. I found almost all of Applebee’s offerings way too high in carbs for me. For diabetics, it goes far beyond being trendy or being able to choose a way of eating. Our very health is at risk when we eat out. I would love to see far more low carb dishes on their menu. Maybe I would eat there more!

This Applebee’s used to be my go-to place for a late night eat. From experience I can say that the server’s are very hard to get a hold of. Not because they are busy but because they are too busy standing around chit chatting. The last time I was there, the server took away our plates without asking. When I told her I wasnt finished, she puts the plates back down AFTER she had already stacked them in her hand. I won’t be back again.

This Applebee’s is never packed when I am there but is also never empty. My experience has been that service is slow and not very attentive. I thought that the addition of the touchscreens would be a good change and helpful to check out or call server but they do nothing to help any of that. The servers don’t tread on other servers tables to help each other out so if your server is MIA then good luck. The appetizers are really good. The entrees are just chain restaurant food and nothing special. The drinks are drinks. There is always three servers near the front door that seem to just be hanging out so they definitely always get the door for you as you come and go.

The food was great. Service was a little slow due to our server having 5+ tables. But he was very professional and appeared to try to give the best service he could while being busy. We will be back if in the area again.

Tuesday evening about 9:30 and sitting at the bar. Appetizers a good value and beverages aok. Bar service pretty damn good — Khaleef. Almost left due to one employee getting off work that was bitching out loud to the bartender about having to close on Monday and not getting the hours she wants or the money she needs. Air your complaints away from customers. Who wants to hear your sad story. She is probably not worth keeping. Attitude.

Umberto Eco says Americans have a horror of emptiness they try to fill with«insane abundance.» Shenanigans, I say, I just want a four inch thick steak with lobster and baked potato, and sour cream and melted butter, and grilled tomato and horseradish sauce and a spinach-salad appetizer with candied fruits and bacon and Gorgonzola, and for dessert the Leaning Tower of Fudge. I’m looking over the edge and it looks like the cliff over which the rule of law drops into a Hobbesian free-for-all. It looks delicious. I had 18 beers and four shots and I feel great.

Typical Applebee’s. But I actually love Applebee’s. We always go for half prices apps after 9 and dessert. This location is usually crowded but the service is still very good.

Mike said it best in his tip: just okay. I happened to come on a trivia night, so they had a lot of tables to just one server. While he was nice enough, I got most of my needs(extra dressing, etc) from the busser who kept coming by to check on me. My server did spend a ton of time with his regulars, so I never got a refill on my drink although I got my check fairly quickly. I do like Applebee’s but the odds of me returning purposely to this location are low unless I happen to be nearby.

Applebee’s are never different from each other but this one has some great servers who are super nice to you and informative. It’s nice to go there because you know you’ll be taken care of. Their drinks are great too. Never had to wait– even on a Saturday or Sunday. Which is always a plus. My girlfriend and I always start girls night here when it’s her choice. Great location. Close to Main Street too!

This place has definitely changed for the better! The staff is friendly, management is almost always on floor checking up and asking how everything is going! They’re pretty fast(even on busy nights) I come here often and I haven’t had a problem in a long time! Food is cooked to my liking 99% of the time. Great three cheese penne and boneless wings!

Vuthy, why do you keep coming here? Because it’s next to your parents’ house and they really like the familiar. Not that Applebee’s does any wrong. The service is almost always decent, sometimes it’s really good and genuinely warm. The food itself is decent. But dammit, it’s just so underwhelming. It’s expensive for what you get. There are better places to get burgers, salads, wings, steak, pasta, fajitas, dessert, everything they do. That said, I understand the value of consistency and familiarity. These things, Applebee’s delivers in spades.

There are obviously much better places to eat than Applebees, but once in a while, when we are in a rush, we’ll pick up dinner from here. The food is what is to be expected from a restaurant like this. We ordered take out last night and when we got home, my husband opened his food container and found the potatoes wrapped in a nasty plastic bag. Just disgusting! If they miss something as obvious as taking the food out of the bag, god knows what other unacceptable things are happening here. No matter how pressed for time we are, I will not be back.

It seems that this location is a hit or miss. Came for the late night happy hour and they got about everything wrong. Ordered the red apple sangria special. Brought the twice as expensive appletini. Ordered strawberry margarita. Got the regular. Ordered mixed veggies. Got broccoli. Only. Chicken was insanely salty for being on the ‘healthy’ menu! Ugh.

I’m not an Applebee’s fan, but the husband likes it, so we go sometimes. This visit confirmed why I don’t like it. I had the jalapeño shrimp which was supposed to come with veggies, rice, and black bean corn salsa. Well the salsa was not present on my plate at all. The shrimp tasted like they were seasoned with old bay, not even a hint of lime or jalapeño. He thought his meal was ok, although to me his chicken looked overcooked. And we had to wait longer than necessary for drink refills, so the service didn’t make up for the shortfalls in the kitchen. Overall, I can’t recommend this particular Applebee’s, although honestly I’ve never had a great experience at any Applebee’s.

I’m usually a fan of these chain restaurants because for the most part, you know what you’re getting into going in. I’ve yet to have a good experience at this Applebee’s. it’s never been absolutely terrible, but never real good. There is usually something wrong with at least one of our dishes, like over cooked steak, or something that doesn’t taste quite right. Someone gave me a gift card so I stopped in for lunch, I had a cup of chili and a salad. Everything seemed alright, till after I left and wasn’t feeling well. Oh well. It just wasn’t meant to be.

Sorry you’re here but since you are, might as well get the 2 for $ 20 meal deal. Might find something good.

You’d hardly notice this Applebees if you were driving by. Lived around the corner for a year and a half and just got around to stopping in. It’s actually a pretty nice little Applebees, but I must say it was the least crowded one I’ve ever dined in. As most do, we went for the great deals, like the 2 for $ 20. Ended up getting an appetizer sampler(my favorite of any restaurant) plus the two for twenty. Everything was good as usual. Nothing ever blows you away here. Portions were large so both me and my fiancé had left overs that I enjoyed for the next two days. Staff were very attentive and the service was quick. Couldn’t have asked for me. Recommend this Applebees to anyone looking for a decent meal at a great price.
