Applebee’s

My wife and I are light eaters, so we shared a «Crispy Brewhouse Chicken», and it was great! They even split it across two plates for us. Just the right amount for our appetites. The rings were the best we’ve had, crisp and tender. My wife ordered a Margarita, and it was perfect. A great meal, good service and decent atmosphere for a fun dinner date.

Food: I had a great burger here. It was the Standard All In Burger that comes w bacon and onions grilled into the patty. Cheese and grilled onions are on top. The patty is thick, juicy and savory. Cheese is melted perfectly over the entire patty. Bun is moist and crisp w a buttery taste. It does not come w any fresh veggies on it so make sure to ask for them and they will give you them for free. Boneless wings are really good. They come w ranch and celery. We got the hot buffalo and this had perfect flavor and heat. We got a 2 for $ 20 deal which included 2 entrees from a list as well as an appetizer or 2 side salads. Great deal!
Service: great attentive service. You can order your food from digital devices at your table. You also pay and tip w this device as well. Servers come and make sure everything is ok frequently and fill drinks as needed. We had no wait on a weekday lunchtime. Food came out quickly and at perfect temp.
Atmosphere: they have many TVs around the place. They have them mostly in the bar section, but there are some also in the main dining areas. They have lots of booths that you can fit a high chair at the end of.
Parking: lots of parking on the weekday we went. Lot is shared w many other stores, so I can see this being an issue on weekends or holidays.

I have to admit it’s been years since I’ve stepped foot into an Applebee’s. I was never really impressed with their food but they have totally revamped and upgraded their menu since my last visit.
Food: we went for the 2 for $ 20 deal so basically you can choose two salads and two entrees or one appetizer and two entrees. I was craving buffalo wings (in this case they were bites) and they were absolutely amazing. Hit the spot. It wasn’t crazy spicy but just enough heat for that zing. My entrée was the oriental chicken salad. They loaded it with slices of grilled chicken and won ton strips. It was good! Nothing over the top, but it hit the spot.
Service: you order your food from an iPad. So it’s a must that your server engages with your table or what’s the point in a tip? Ours was nice and catering so it worked out.
Cleanliness: I did visit the bathroom on this trip and I have to say– way to go girls! Is it weird that girls bathrooms are always a mess?! What the heck! Not here. Spotless! Woohoo!
Lastly, the restaurant isn’t in our neighborhood so this was just a stop on our way home from the safari park. If we are in the area we will probably come back.

As far as Applebee’s go… this one is my favorite! I love it most because of the atmosphere. It’s cozy and cute and just like all of the old school Applebee’s. I always feel happy here! I had a cheeseburger that was yummy, hubby had the enchiladas, they were served a bit cold, my son had the steak and enjoyed it. I mostly enjoyed my fabulous Grey Goose Martini!

My husband and I stopped by one night because we were staying at the Welk resort and didn’t want to eat at the resort so we came to this shopping center because it is the only shopping center I know that has food in Escondido– I’m not very familiar with the area.
We decided on Applebee’s and ended up on getting the 2 for $ 20 deal which was pretty good. I liked their Lemon chicken and will most likely order that again next time!
The service was good and the ambiance is standard for an Applebee’s restaurant.
Parking is plenty in the shopping center since it’s a pretty big center.

A little busy when we arrived but we were seated right away. So far, never had a terrible experience with food here. Food is good but not great. Tonight’s service was slow, which always makes a difference.
Other than that, they have that 2 for $ 20 (or $ 25) deal which is actually pretty good deal.
I would come back, but def not a go to place to eat.

Came here the other night. Was seated right away. Server was attentive, but food was not good. My salad was more like cole slaw. Full of green and purple cabbage, hardly any lettuce or chicken. Have been here many times before. It’s alway hit or miss. You either get a good server and crappy food, or vice versa.

Great friendly staff. Travelling down for a wedding from Studio City. Everyone is so friendly… and the atmosphere is cheery. Thank you!!!

The servers were amazing… Also with a small problem with my food… the sever&manager was excellent… they really showed real customers service fixed the problem and make a family of four a continuing regular guest at their home

Shittiest service and they’re racist. I had a server a one time and it took about 45 minutes to get two for twenty entrée. Maybe because I’m not white but they downgrade on some races. Do not recommend this place what’s so ever. All the workers are rude and judge you. This apple bees does not care about customer service or what so ever

The new Standard Burger was very tasty. The fries were way too salty though. However, it is all about the spinach artichoke dip for us. It is our favorite place to get it. The server was friendly, Luis. We will return.

We really like to come here for dinner or for a late night drink. They have a great happy hour. The server Bo is really good at finding drinks for you. It’s never too expensive and they have a lot of TVs. The drinks always taste great and the food is awesome thanks again for an awesome experience guys

I enjoy this place. I go about once a month had never had a bad experience there. Then again, it isn’t hard to have a bad experience when you eat at the bar.

Very normal run of the mill chain restaurant. I ate here out of convenience once and nothing stood out for me to return. Food was meh. Service was meh.

Note: However, the server did lack. She was covering table area and bar overstretched with two tables and two bar customers. My iced tea was lacking in the main ingredient — TEA. The other table had same issue also. It’s color was obvious… she poured it, carried it, she should of noticed it. Right? The manager was quick to notice it when I pointed at the glass. We had to ask for refills.
Oh, also just a little note: IF you are a large person the seating is tight.
Please let me know if this review was useful, funny or cool. Thank You so much
