Applebee’s

So I went specifically for the new wood grilled steak. It was ok. I honestly didn’t taste the greatness in it. But I will give it another try soon and post an update.
My steak was ordered medium and it was more like well done so that may be why.
My only other complaint was waitresses at the bar. They were dressed unprofessional and in T-​shirts and mostly on their phone. Not good business.

One-​and-​a-​half stars leaning to one.
We were a party of nine at 7pm on a Monday night. It took about fifteen minutes to seat us (not bad for a borderline large group) and everything went down hill from there. Service was very slow. When dinner finally arrived the two children were served last. How silly is that.
One medium rare steak came medium and one came rare. Ice tea ordered with no lemon came with lemon. The salad ordered with absolutely no mayonnaise came with a mayonnaise-​based dressing and the included chicken was dry and tasteless. My baked potato was decidedly undercooked. I searched hard to find something positive to say: the water was wet.
We had a nice extended family night out despite Applebees.

WOW — so not even worth the 2 for $ 20 special.
they were out of lettuce… really NO lettuce so no salad
the fried shrimp were over cooked & even though they offered me another entrée it was Good Friday & I was not eating meat — only item that has no meat was the shrimp & of course they were out of lettuce so NO salad either.
Will never go back there to eat.
People there were very nice though.

This Applebee’s is awesome! We went on a Saturday night and received great service! The manager makes herself visible but not overbearing and is very friendly. The hosts and hostesses are very friendly and accommodating. The burgers were great and our server was friendly and efficient. For a chain restaurant they really take a lot of pride in their business. It was much appreciated!

Not bad. A close local dining experience for the whole family. They have a new menu with good choices.

I ate there years ago and had a New York Strip Steak and it was excellent!

horrible!!! food sucked steak sucked salad was coleslaw chief needs to be fired! help wanted asap. waiting to be seated as two workers approached us while we have a baby they bring us no highchair food was cold amd plates were cold like just got out fridge and they said dont touch because the plates are hot! never again

First this review will solely be based on my restaurant experience as an employee and from a customer standpoint. The place was empty but swarming full of employees with no customers to assist. With that being said my friend and I decided to sit at the bar and the bar area was dirty. The bartender cleaned up the glassware and wiped the bar with a napkin. Then with little to no excitement proceeded to assist us. As we waited on our food, I noticed employees were lodging around, eating food in different areas of the restaurant… in my opinion I know jobs are well needed but why have so many staff members there when obviously you are slow. The food was good no complaints there but if someone mentions Applebees I wont give this location another chance.
Now I genuinely appreciate when managers would advise me to not hang out in groups throughout the restaurant or to eat in the common area because it gives a bad appearance and experience to the customers. Maybe this is something Applebees should make note of.

I’m giving 5 stars namely because of the staff and service at this particular location. My boyfriend and I eat here a lot when we can’t decide exactly what we’re in the mood for, Applebee’s has a good assortment of everything from steaks, burgers, salads, soups, beverages, etc. The staff are always super friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The food is always good, nothing has ever been over cooked or left out (cold). It’s disappointing that they’ve taken some things off the menu as they were my favorites (the original platter nachos and the blondie dessert have been greatly missed) but it’s a chain so that tends to happen. This is a great location!
As a side note, shame on those of you who single people out BY NAME when giving negative reviews. I am absolutely against that. There are a few bad eggs from time to time but 9 times out of 10, misunderstandings/​miscommunication are the cause of negative experiences and this can certainly happen very easily when it gets busy. EVERYONE makes mistakes, let’s not go out of our way to publicly tarnish the reputation of an individual because he/​she wasn’t practically reading your mind from the moment you walked through the door.

Food was great as always, but our waiter, John C is horrible. All he did was sit at a table… we had to stare him down and most time he never came… we had 3 people in our party 2 women and one male… he asked the women if they wanted dessert and didn’t even acknowledge the male. Then brought the bill without even asking him… I had to speak up about that… like I said food was great waiter absolutely horrible! !!!

This was the first time trying this Applebee’s location. This was the only place open other than the usual late night drive thru’s. I stopped in about 45 mins before closing after a long flight from BWI. The misses and I was told the kitchen was still open by the bartender. The bartender was extremely nice and checked on us often. The food was good and I was really shocked because normally when you go to location close to closing time the service can be really bad or just average.

Overall just another Applebees. Came here with the wife cause she wanted after work dinner and picked here. Bar tender was super friendly. We also were fortunate enough to get those after hour ½ off appetizers! Always nice to save some money.
Gotta say, I’m a fan of their Krispy chicken wonton app. Lots of flavor and perfect amount of food for two people to share; make sure to squeeze some lime on it to add that extra punch.
Didn’t really try the mac n cheese with chicken and bacon but my beautiful addition said it was heavy and the chicken is a little too sweet for the dish.
Not a bad place, if your cravin that big chain food.

I have eaten at this Applebee’s at least a dozen times and have always been generally pleased. Good menu with plenty of choices. Decent alcoholic drink menu be it mixed cocktails or beer. Servers (waiter/​waitress) have always been friendly and attentive. Manager always comes around to make sure everything is running smooth. And, I love the atmosphere; tv’s everywhere with any major sports event available. Also, love the new touch screens on the tables. You can play games, check ur bill, call ur server, order and a couple other things as well. Can’t wait to go here again.

Just ur average applebees.
Nothing spectacular about it.
As far as applebees goes… they didn’t disappoint nor did they please me.
Went here because a friend wanted to… food was ok.

Stopped by here tonight with my boyfriend to get a quick meal before a class. Now my boyfriend has never liked Applebee’s. I always thought you couldn’t beat 2 for 20. I was wrong.
Service was great. Food– not so much.
I decided to try something rather than my usual chicken tenders basket and got a 7oz sirloin medium, veggies and mashed potatoes. Man if I could go back.(wouldn’t go here.) The sirloin may as well have been chewed up and spit back out. That’s how appealing it was. I had two bites, one of which I DID chew up and spit back out. The veggies were old and mush. The mashed potatoes were edible.
My boyfriend went for the 9oz. (Couldn’t get through half of it.) He ended up munching on French fries. So really we ended up paying 30 bucks for mashed potatoes, French fries, and a diet soda. No thanks, never again.

You can always get a good meal with friendly service at the Applebee’s in Crofton, MD! If you are looking for light-​fare … The Fiesta Chicken chopped salad is Excellent.

Not my usual first choice! But was extremely impress with their menu selection! Had appetizer and dessert and it was amazing! Our server was a bit off! Pretty hyper! But we didn’t mind! Food was awesome!

I love this Applebees! I go here just about every other week for lunch. I tend to always get something different, and I haven’t been disappointed yet. I’m aware is standard American chain food, so I don’t expect anything extravagantly delicious. But I’m usually generally satisfied with whatever I get. Granted it’s usually lunch time when I go, it’s always very clean and the staff is friendly and attentive.
Their margaritas are pretty good, too. No complaints here!

What the hell did I just put into my body? And why do I immediately want to purge myself of it?
Applebee’s falls into the «Americans will eat styrofoam peanuts if we deep-​fry them and cover them with melted cheese» school of cuisine. And, man, that may have been the worst food I’ve gotten at a chain restaurant yet.
I ordered the «orange chicken», assuming it would be fairly innocuous Chinese-​ish food. Wrong. What I got was McDonald’s chicken nuggets covered in orange Kool-​aid thickened with corn starch. On top of Uncle Ben’s lemon-​herb rice. It was absolutely putrid. The individual flavors, which were already disgusting, were only made worse by being combined in this conflagration apparently conceived of in the fourth ring of Hell.
Ugh. Gah. Blah.

I haven’t been to this Applebee’s in at least six months and a lot has changed. They have redesigned the bar and added a sports theme to the entire restaurant. It was a welcome change. As for the food, ok it is still Applebee’s but the bartender was great and the manager always comes around and checks on the customers.
So if your on a budget and need someplace with a fresh look, try this Applebee’s location.
