Applebee’s

Applebee’s is going downhill when it comes to this location. My friends and I used to go for half price apps after 9pm, but it’s not the same now. I usually would always get the potato twisters in the past, but I’ve had them both cold and partially burnt. I tried the wonton tacos and they tasted disgusting. I only took a bite and gave the rest away. The quality of the food could be a lot better, and some of the staff’s service is questionable. There are definitely better restaurants to go to.

I’ve been here multiple times and will say that you know what you’re getting food and atmosphere-​wise when you go to Applebee’s. The food pretty much tastes the same each time. Food-​wise, it’s not my favorite, as the food has that already pre-​prepared, frozen quality to it that you find at places like Perkins. I’ve had their Three Cheese Chicken Penne, Burgers, Oriental Chicken Salad, and other items, and most of them have that taste/​flavor. Or perhaps it’s a lack of flavor. Their appetizers are standard, but good. The sweet potato fries are excellent.
No matter what time I’ve been here, it’s always pretty busy, and at times, can be loud.
Where this restaurant does shine is in service. The manager stopped by our table recently and cleared dishes and asked how things were. Our server, a young man by the name of Dean, was one of the best servers we’ve ever had at any restaurant. He anticipated some of our needs without us asking… for example, he brought extra dressing for my wife’s Oriental Chicken Salad. She looked at me and said, «Did I ask for that?» Because normally, she would. The server came by later and said, «Everyone always asks for extra dressing, so I just had them bring one out.» Very cool! Later, when we asked for a to-​go cup, he provided it with ice. It was quite simply excellent service. You don’t find that many places these days.

Not impressed here at all. Mike asked for heinz 57. Did you know they ration that at Applebee’s? Us either! We saw our server 3 times but relied on the kindness of other staff for drinks and our bill.

I can’t remember ever being seated by a manager before or at least bring told they are the manager. The customer service was outstanding. The chicken was done just right and a nice light summery feeling meal, perfect for lunch. The chips with the appetizer tasted a bit stale but not too bad. The staff were friendly and greeted us on the way out to have a good day. I might have to go back for Chicken Freshcada meal. Fresh zucchini, peppers, and avocado with the chicken yum all around.

This is not a good Applebee’s. I have came here multiple times and it keeps going down hill. The last time I came here with my husband and we waited FOREVER! I am talking like 45 minutes to get our food and when we got it, it was cold.
The time before that, my chicken was served to me burnt. By burnt, I am talking by looking at it exactly how it was placed on my plate, I would never have served it.
We have decided not to go back here. We will spend our time and money somewhere else.

Bad service, took 5 or so minutes to get our drink order. We got wings for appetizer those were very good. My fiancé got a steak of some sort, I ordered an asian salad, it took so long to get it out when it got there we had to get it boxed as we were moving that day, we had some time but not 45 just to get our food. I watched a couple who came in after us get their drinks before our drink orders were taken. Frustrating. When we got home his steak was just, stiff looking, whatever was on it just got scraped off. We won’t be back.

So ate here today Veterans Day with hubby. Must say the food I had was less than mediocre. Yes they were busy but I paid full price for my meal and expect it to be edible. Fish was over cooked. Served coffee In a foam cup! Can you please plan for a better presentation next yr! Not that I’ll be back. If your going to do something, do it right.

There isn’t much special about a large chain restaurant like Applebees. But I appreciate their happy hour special of ½ off appetizers (and drinks I think). Happy hour is from 2 – 5 and after 9. Cheeseburger sliders (and fries) are $ 4 during happy hour, which is a fantastic price, they do taste pretty good, especially the buns.

I would say I like Applebees. Their food is decent, not great. The service is always prompt, but Applebees feels like 10 other chain restaurants where you can get the same menu items. They do occasionally switch it up and I do appreciate that.
