Applebee’s

I’ve had a love/​hate relationship with Applebees for years. Sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s just plain awful. Most of the time I’m there for happy hour and you just can’t beat the half-​priced appetizers. You can get stuffed to the brim for under $ 20 for 2 people. Add in a couple of their happy hour drinks and you’re good to go. Service is almost always top-​notch. Our most recent server was a blast! Late night happy hour is the best to avoid children screeching in the restaurant portion.

I’ve never been to an Applebee’s before and to be honest, I was a little nervous. But let me tell you. I’m now a big fan. Great service. Hard alcohol! The onion rings were fresh and crispy. The steak was cooked perfect (medium) and very juicy. Super friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I officially love Applebee’s. I never thought I would see the day.

I would have given –0– stars!!!
My son is 21 today and our family thought it would be a nice place to have dinner and alcoholic beverages. In Washington state minors licenses are vertical. The waitress said she’d have to get approval from her manager before they could serve us. The manager said my sons license was expired which was not the case. It expires at midnight! We said it’s still the 27^th! They said «sorry». That is the stupidest thing we’ve ever heard! Well Applebee’s lost over $ 100 + in food and beverages today. I am so angry that it will take a looooonnnngggg time before I step foot in Applebee’s again if ever!!! My FB friends agree and $$$ will not be dropped at Applebee’s!!! By the way RED ROBIN HAD NO PROBLEM SERVING US!

manager almost always says hi to me when i come for lunch, my kids love the balloon guy that makes balloon art. their food is good but not as great as you’d think for the price and service is hit or miss depending on who you get.

This is a decent Applebees with okservice and nice food. It gets a 2 as someone who was having lunch with us returned to their car in the parking lot to find the window smashed and their laptop missing.

Applebee’s has really stepped up their game in modern décor, how clean the location is and overall guest experience. The location is very modern, clean (gone are the days of dusty sports signs) and food is now served with great presentation. There are Presto mobile tablets at the tables to allow you to order drinks and appetizers at your table, pay the bill (including multiple credit cards) and even email receipts making expense reporting for work a breeze. Thanks Applebees for a great happy hour menu and a much improved location over the years.

We eat weekly at Applebee’s. Usually the salads, (trying to cut some lbs)
Tried the fiesta chicken salad 11.99 wow was about 1−½ cups salad. Looked like it had been placed under that heat lamp with hot food too. Lettuce was all wilted, and it was about the size of a side salad? Not happy.

They have great food and service. Love Tyler he’s amazing!!! Try the chicken wonton tacos happy hour their half price and love the grilled lemon chicken with quinoa.

We had excellent service tonight! The manager here is very attentive, such a nice guy and honestly made our meal so much better! I didn’t catch his name, but he was amazing!

I went to this location last night and had a great experience! We went a few minutes before 6 to get happy hour. We were thinking it would be too busy to get a seat right away since it was a Friday night but we didn’t have to wait. Our waiter (Tyler I think) had many tables he was waiting on but he made sure we were taken care of. I love Applebee’s new burgers! Also, their happy hour menu has good choices for a good price. We will definitely be going back to this Applebee’s soon!

I went here with my best friend and her parents. We got the worst service I had ever received. The table was extremely sticky which is foul, if you’re a restaurant the tables are supposed to be clean and these were not. We ordered appetizers and entrees, we waited and waited we finally received them with our dinner. I had ordered ribs. They did not give me wet naps. Even after I asked for wet naps she completely ignored me although she said yeah sure thing. I finally asked for the second time and she said oh I can’t believe I forgot. I will never be back. We probably saw our waiter at most 4 times. We went out on a limb here and we got super bad service.

I live close by and love this place for good priced and yummy appetizers and drinks. I always sit at the bar and David is an awesome bartender!

I usually go to a place 2 times before giving it a review. This place is very disappointing, 2^nd time experience was actually worse than the first. Table and menus are still sticky, I don’t understand how a place can manage to fail the very first impression to customers, and also a very task to take care of. Their cocktails were either taste like water down, flat coke or super sugary. I ordered a streak salad for take-​out, I asked for medium rare and what I got was some kind of over cooked steak. My first ordered some kind of chicken salad, he asked for extra salad and willing to pay extra, turned out he got extra onion only. I will never come back to this place again !

Aside from sitting right next to the host station and feeling like our conversation was being spied on, that we were being stared at by staff lounging at said station, sitting 3 feet away from a bratty toddler in a high chair throwing food on the floor, and our female server (Megan) incorrectly telling me that «oh, they don’t put anything on the burger» and it being served with thousand island dressing slathered all over the bun, it was great lol. …won’t be back

At the end of the experience, we were reminded exactly why we don’t eat at Applebee’s any longer. The short version is because the food isn’t that good. We ordered a grilled chicken ceaser salad. Additional dressing was requested because it felt lacking but even with additional dressing, the salad didn’t taste great,
The biggest fail was the service. If you ask me if I want a drink and I say a Bud Lite pint and you say ok and disappear, don’t you dare come back and ask my another question unless you bring me my simple draft beer. If I have to ask twice for my beer, I’m done spending money here. At $ 3.25 for a Bud Lite pint during Happy Hour, the service had damn well better be amazing!
We agreed not to visit this Applebee’s location again no matter what and realized that maybe Applebee’s is not the place for us anymore.

Had a gift card for Applebee’s and last night we went for dinner about 6:40 pm. Promptly greeted, seated, and asked if we had plans Expecting a food or drink related question I stared blankly at the server. Then with my endless wit replied, «What?» The full question was repeated a little hesitantly, Did we have plans? Felt a bit like being in a Bullwinkle and Rocky episode that I didn’t remember being cast in. Yes, we did have plans — to eat.
Then on to drink selection, mine, water, MDS wanted flavored lemonade and asked what flavors there were. The server said «Lots» The same server who was so interested in our «plans» wasn’t so interested in providing information about the flavors or maybe a password was required. After a few guesses of flavors that were not available he reluctantly provided us with a list.
We looked over the very wordy and complicated menu, hard to do when hungry and without the decoder key. Decided on the $ 25 twofer with onion rings as an appetizer, and entrees of fried shrimp and grilled chicken breast. Onion rings arrived, very brown, hot and with a cup of dipping sauce. The onion rings tasted slightly scorched and the dipping sauce was a too sweet barbeque. Neither enhanced the flavor of the onion which is what I wanted to taste. Burgerville does it better.
Between ordering and receiving our entrees at least three to four random servers asked us questions, only one of which had any purpose except in fulfilling their version of providing good service. Service which was totally unrelated to any action on our part. It was annoying and guilt provoking — I mean, who wants to admit to being annoyed by people supposedly trying to please us? Use your eyes and ears people! If customers are engaged in talking to one another or eating, have full water glasses, aren’t looking around to catch someone’s eye — leave them alone.
Now for the food. MDS was happy with his shrimp even though they were the same dark brown as the onion rings. The breast of chicken I ordered was superbly tender and moist as well as plentiful. The sautéed mushroom & onion were flavorful but were cooked in ¼ cup oil when a tablespoon could have done the job. The red potatoes were a dark brown and very dry. MDS gave me his cole slaw which was nicely dressed, seasoned, and fresh tasting. The fresh parsley was a very nice addition.
So, a 2 for service, only because no one was rude and we did get our food. The food ranged from a 1, the onion rings and potatoes, to a 5 for the chicken and shrimp for an averages of 3. Making the final score a 2.5 which Unilocal doesn’t support.

I’ve been going to this Applebee’s for a couple years now. The food and service has always been good and surprisingly they cook a really good steak. They recently did a remodel of the entire restaurant and it looks great. Even the seats have good padding now so you don’t hurt your butt sitting down. Prior to the remodel, the seats were pretty hard. I would recommend this location to anyone in the area.

Pretty institutional. But consistent and nice cold beer. Staff was a little slow and obnoxious football fan keep swearing and was never asked to stop. At 6:40pm with a few kids in restaurant. Good value at happy hour. Other times not as much.

This applebee’s has been one of the better ones that I’ve been to. I got the quesadilla burger both times and it came out perfectly. The mixed drinks were pretty strong, and I wish they had a better beer selection.
The service was awesome the first time, but the second time, our waiter was really grumpy. Like he did not want to be there. He forgot to get my friend a coke, so she only had water for the longest time.
I’ll go back if I’m around the area.

Great happy hour drinks. 3.75 for a long island. Good food. Great staff. We always have a great time here.
Trivia at the bar on Tuesday’s is fun.
