Applebee’s

My husband went here on Veterans Day as him and his combat buddy do every year. Applebee’s offers free meals to vets on this day… While sitting at the bar ordering his food, he told his friend that he should try a different entrée as he had it before and wasn’t the best. The employee behind the bar then spoke up and said «you’re getting your meal for free so you shouldn’t say anything.» ABSOLUTELY UNCALLED FOR.
My husband was speechless. When he got home and informed me of this, I was tempted to call them myself however it probably wouldn’t do much good.
I have however been here with my husband prior to this episode and had good food and decent service. I will no longer be going here any longer… Some people…

Supper was very good Ada was our server she was wonderful person took great care us the place was full! I would go back any day or night

Anyone who has ever been to an Applebee’s doesn’t need to be sold on their extensive menu serving anything ranging from burgers and wraps, to creative salads and their infamous Weight Watcher’s menu. You can satisfy even the pickiest eater’s appetite at Applebee’s and the whole family can have a good time whether drinking wine and margs or strawberry lemonade and soft drinks.
However, this specific location is ill-​equipped to handle all of the appetizer sampler loving people in Bangor. My husband and I came on a Sunday and while the restaurant was very full, it was still not at capacity. We were seated promptly and not visited by our waitor for almost 5 minutes, though he walked by our table roughly once a minute. Our orders came out extremely slowly and often were delivered by someone other than our waiter. Our waters were not filled promptly and my husband’s order was completely wrong (he ordered a salad and was given a chicken breast). I noticed our waiter was serving not only our side of the restaurant but also a few tables on the other side of the room. The waiter/​waitress set-​up seemed wonky and inefficient.
Despite this visit taking much longer than anticipated and despite the food mix-​up, the food was delicious (Roma steak was amazing) and it’s an affordable way to dine with a family, a date or a birthday group in Bangor.

Friendly service, food was okay. Restaurant very clean and easy to find. They do have free wireless.

Great place to eat. Will go again.

Our first choice for dinner fell through, so we decided on Applebees. We had tried locations in Florida and were less than happy but, my in laws love Applebees here. We are glad we gave it another shot. We chose to order off the 2 for 20, I got the Fiesta Lime Chicken. I would definitely get this again. The server, Brittany G. was great and she made some good recommendations. She was also good with my 2 year old. I will ask for her again.

Wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for my son’s birthday, but the 90-​plus minute wait time put us at Applebee’s.
This is my first visit to an Applebee’s and I was pleased!
There was a 15 – 20 minute wait for our table of 4. The hostess was very good at finding each party, including going outside to be sure the party heard her announce their table was ready! Good job!
My wife’s margarita was good but they didn’t have a couple of the beers listed in the menu, unfortunately. The waiter, though, was very apologetic (nice of him :))
The food was very good — appetizers were yummy though the «hot as habenero» buffalo wings were quite mild. The tilapia was excellent and my sons’ steaks were as well, or so they said so.
All items on the menu had the calorie count listed — some of the counts were very shocking! This *absolutely* influenced my order. But in a good you-​should-​know-​better-​than-​to-​order-​that kind of way. I really really wanted the fish n chips…
Loved the serenading waitstaff at dessert time (son’s birthday, remember? :)) though my son would disagree with me on that one.
Oh and the waiter said ‘you’re welcome’ instead of ‘no problem’ when we thanked him. That goes over big with me. Yeah, I know. I should get over it :)
Bottom line: good food, friendly staff & reasonable prices. Listing the calorie count right on the menu was a plus for me, though perhaps not for everyone.
