Would have given it a one star as the music was too loud, the internet kept kicking me off, and the food took forever and turned out to not even be fully thawed, but the waitress was nice when she was around(which wasn’t often). First off, the music is good music, but it’s way above background level and as our seat was under a speaker, my mother and I were practically shouting at each other to talk. Second, the internet is some of the worst I’ve seen. It may be due partly to our seating(in the far front corner), but it kept connecting and would only let me surf the web from Safari. And it was slow. Lastly, the food came out after 20 minutes, even though there were a total of 6 people(including my mother and I) in our section. That would have dropped them to 3 stars, but my mother’s soup came out warmed over. The top was lukewarm and at the bottom there was a section that hadn’t even thawed yet. The lettuce on our salads were a little warm for our tastes as well. When we told the waitress about the soup, she took it back to the kitchen and returned about 5 minutes later with a warmer(but not soup level hot) bowl. This time everything was thawed, but the spiciness of the dish was way out of proportion, almost spicy enough to ruin it. And, mind you, this is coming from someone who enjoys jalapenos, banana peppers, and Sriracha sauce on their sandwiches. Overall, a one star dining facility with a three and a half star wait staff when they were around and a two-star chef. I would be wary of considering this nice dining as it seems to be just an upscale Denny’s.

Both our sandwiches were burnt. They charged us for games at the table that never worked. Nothing was good but the ice water. We will NEVER waste our money here again!

Came to Applebees for a nice little dinner with my parents and my boyfriend last night. Our server, Christina B., was very friendly. I got the triple bacon burger with sweet potato fries. it was so yummy. I got my very first alcoholic beverage here, it was the Island Blast Rum Punch(?).you gotta try it, I can’t wait to go back and try their other alcohlic beverages. My mom let me try her Macaroni and Cheese with chicken strips dish, that’s what I’m getting next time(: we had a nice time, our waitress was friendly, and my boyfriend and I will surely be back.

My mom wanted to go to Applebee’s again for lunch, as she loves the appetizers. Since I have the best mom in the world I took her there for lunch today. It was pleasant with exceptional service. We arrived and requested a particular waiter who has ALWAYS given exceptional service. We found out his name was Vic, if you go to Applebee’s and want a pleasant experience request Vic’s section!

The bathrooms are disgusting. The food is alright. The staff is very helpful when we are there. The bathroom was the only issue

It was my birthday today and applebees not only made it very special but they went to every extent to make sure we were happy and going good. Such a good crew and amazing place I’ll be coming back.

We ordered 3 meals and kids meal and all came back bad. Poor service and poor food. My wife got sick afterwards. All four of us were very unhappy.

These guys are doing a great job! It’s not often you see a chain restaurant or any restaurant in this area where drinks are prepared to look great as well as food. And the staff was great as well. It could have been quicker but I’m sure the waitress was busy as a bee so I understand. Something that I thought was really great is that the gentleman waiting tables brought my food to my table. I really liked how they worked as a team, this shows how well managed this restaurant is. I respect the level of service these folks have provided me the past few visits. Kudos! Gracias!

I used to really like applebees. Their food was decent and affordably priced. I don’t eat out often, so after a lengthy absence from visiting this applebees, I returned with my parents in tow. When I arrived, I found that the place was being remodeled and was looking rather nice. So we sat down and I went to order one of my favorite appetizers, the green bean crispers with horse radish, only to be told that they don’t have horse radish anymore. Ok, ok, so I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. We ordered drinks and a dinner each. Our dinner arrived before our appetizer, which we had to ask for because«it was pushed off to one side and I forgot it.» Ok, so things happen. The food quality was awful. The best part of our meal was the cold appetizer. And the pricing was outrageous for the portions we received. For what we paid, we could have gone to the sea grill and been happier. Essentially, quality of food has been recently downgraded and the prices upgraded. Sorry, but I will never again be visiting this establishment.

I must’ve gotten lucky the 3 times I’ve come here. We just moved to the area and we like this applebees a lot. I’ve been to quite a few Applebees in the past, and this one is equally as good as the rest. All of our food came out quickly, and well prepared. The servers are SONICE. Applebees isn’t supposed to be fancy, it’s basically a glorified bar. Cut them a break guys. Yeesh.

I’ve come here twice before, but a long time ago. Here’s why. Although the waitresses for both times were extremely nice, the food wasn’t good. I usually really like Applebees, which is disappointing. Both times I have gotten a penne and both times the chicken was burnt and dry. The tables are sometimes dirty too. I wouldn’t exactly recommend it but I wouldn’t choose to eat here but it’s fine.

The food is really good, since it is a chain restaurant. However, we have given this place so many second chances and the SERVICE has ALWAYS been SUBPAR! Sure, the servers are nice enough, but they don’t check up on you nearly as often as they should and the food has taken over 45 minutes to get to the table! Very unhappy with this Applebees, because the food is great and yet, you don’t get to eat it for what feels like centuries.(If you have a small child, DONOTEATHERE no matter how much you like the food! I have a toddler and man was the wait ridiculous! We only survived because we had enough snacks to keep him occupied.)

It really being the only local chain resturants it works for me every once in awhile. It is nice when the breweries are packed on game days to slip in there and watch a ballgame without a lot of noise.

Service was mediocre, food was mediocre! By the time we got our food, 4 adults, 1 child, it was luke warm, on the fringe of cold. Food tastes fine, but the fact that all of our dishes were almost cold, was very disappointing. Best part of the meal was the twisted fry appetizer! I will mostly only visit Applebee’s for this!

this place has definitely gotten better since i first went here. Every time my boyfriend and I come here now were greeted with a smile and the food is always delicious, the last few times i’ve went there I had the steak from the 2 for 20 menu and is was probably the most delicious steak i’ve ever had. So they have definitely upped their game. The service has definitely been upgraded too. The only thing I would complain about is the soda price, come on 3 dollars?! I guess thats corporations for you.

I have mixed feelings on Applebees, and both sides of my emotional roller coaster come from the fact that it is corporate. What do our corporate overlords provide: *Consistent food *Very tasty recipes that were undoubtedly focus group tested *Price competitiveness *Some very good specials such as happy hour the gift card promotion *Forced humiliation of a birthday patron What our corporate overlords withhold: *A workplace that keeps employees so when you develop a relationship with a server, you get to enjoy that server again and again. *A natural dialogue with staff that isn’t scripted to the point of ridiculousness.(note: we were once asked to do a survey, which essentially let us know that all the conversations we had been having with staff were mandated by training protocols, such as «did the manager greet you during your meal?» and«were you told ‘see you tomorrow?’» while leaving, and«where you presented with new menu options by your server?») *Dignity for the servers that must humiliate the birthday patron So while I cannot say that I will not dine with the devil, I am also not in a hurry to go back anytime soon. But bang for the buck still compels me to give a well earned three stars.

Food was great. Just took too long for it to arrive. Came on a Saturday at 7pm. Maybe that had to do something with it.

The food had good taste and the food service was good. For some reason the Bar Service at this restaurant is really slow. We were there about 3pm and it still took 20 minutes to get our drinks. The only other drawback was the portion size, see picture of the steak.

I don’t know what these people rating 2 stars know about food and service but this place has always been amazing to me. Went for a date night and the service was attentive and delightful! I got the 9oz sirloin with red mashed potatoes and steamed veggies and it was all perfect! I wanted my steak medium rare and that’s what I got to perfection!!! :) I will continue to go here again and again! :)
