Applebee’s

Honestly I’m only here so often cause it’s a cheap place to meet up with friends later in the evening. We tend to stick to their appetizers cause most of the entries are basic and boring. The staff is mostly friendly but there have been a couple instances where we felt ignored/​avoided. Even just as a small group of 4.

We have eaten here a few times. Usually okay but every time we go the waitresses are always pretty awkward and not sure what they are doing. Besides that the food is always okay. This last time we went my boyfriend asked for an ipa on tap and she told us what they ran out of but didn’t suggest any other beer. Strange. I ordered a house salad with no tomatoes and add onions. They forgot the onions, tell me, how do you mess up a salad? It was not busy. The hostess was also pretty rude, seemed she didn’t care about her job and didn’t event greet us or talk to us. Just brought us to a table. We will probably still go, because we love the food chain and it’s right near our home. But I want to feel more welcomed to eat there!

Usually come here after 9 for the ½ price appetizers. Spicy Asian boneless wings are my usual. Staff is always friendly. Have probably been here about 10 times in the past year and have not yet had a bad experience. Would definitely recommend

This was my first time eating here and the experience wasn’t too shabby. I went out on a date with my boyfriend and he raved about this place so I said why not. Well we went during dinner rush, and surprisingly only had about a 15 minute wait. I’ve certainly waited much longer at other restaurants. The service was really nice as well. Our waitress was so polite and even during rush hour she made sure we were well waited on. Also, the restaurant was lovely. Comfortable seating and a nice atmosphere overall. Good for family dinners, dates, and/​or nights out with friends. They also of course have a bar.
Now it is a chain so I’m assuming food wise they’re all pretty similar. I ordered the chicken freshcado and it was absolutely amazing. It was cooked perfectly too! My boyfriend ordered a steak and I’m not sure exactly what. Now I hate steak but he insisted I tried it because «its too delicious not to.» Well you know how I said I hated steak? I actually enjoyed that bite I had of it! It was really good. The dessert was also too good to pass on. We both had the triple chocolate meltdown and if you love chocolate I highly suggest you get it!
Overall it was a great first experience and I imagine I’ll be eating there again in the future! If you’re in auburn and are looking for a great place to eat, try it out.

Applebee’s are all pretty similar but I like this one because the staff is great and the cooks are consistent and good.
If you are in the area you can’t go wrong
