Applebee’s

By far the biggest regret of my life… outside of crack! 10 dollar boneless wings more like paying 10 dollars to have someone vom in your mouth after eating at Chilis. Darell was here with his side and said the same. Probs coming back tho it is Western PA…

Chain restaurants are chain restaurants! Some of them are decent and others are so so…
Applebee’s falls in the so so category. I’ve been here a handful of times since my last up date but not much as changed.
It’s kinda of disappointing the changed their happy hour schedule. They only offer the discounted alcoholic beverages between the early happy hour of 5 – 7 M-​F. They use to offer the food and alcohol happy hour from 9-​close. Which wasn’t a bad deal. The food was still the same quality but the alcohol is always a plus. We definitely enjoyed coming here for the late night happy hour.
I cant say anything bad about the service we get at the bar! It definitely is top notch and always pretty good. I really can’t comment on the service at the table since the last few times we always sat at the bar. However, the only thing I can’t get over is the quality of food.
This place does get pretty busy and the ample amount of parking can get filled up, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.
So I think that I’ll give this place 3 stars instead of 2. For the great bar service you get at the bar.

It was alright for an applebee’s. I enjoyed the nachos. Rather pricey for what we ordered, nachos, 2 adults and a child, no alcohol was $ 55. Eek! should’ve gone to Lone Star.
And it was St Patrick’s Day, but the music was extremely loud. They had it way turned up at about 7pm. It was way too loud.

Had the sweet potato fries which come with 3 delicious dips, a Happy Hour 20oz Yeungling, nice atmosphere, great service, I’ll go back

I ate at the Johnstown Applebee’s yesterday afternoon. I had the fiesta chicken and my friend had another chicken dish off the 2 for $ 20 menue. I got extremely ill last night, stomach churning and horrible diarehia, all night and through the morning. I believe it was the lime, possibly? Some sort of a bacterial problem. Defiantly not the flu, but food related. I will NOT be going back to Applebee’s again. I am still feeling weak and can’t even thing about eating anything… I wanted to give it zero stars but it would not let me!!!

I’ve been eating at Applebee’s for many years, mostly on weekend afternoons and I sit with my friends and we catch up. Over the years the service has always been first rate — mostly local Pitt students all eager and perky. I rarely drink alcohol there but the times I did they seemed ok (I felt it so there was alcohol in it).
The food has undergone radical changes over the years, some of them trending healthy/​good, some absolute disasters. I’ve never liked their desserts. It seems the majority of them are some kind of hot squishy chocolate lump or cake or something drowned in liquid chocolate or some kind of pie thing with a lump of cow milk ice cream and more chocolate. The chocolate isn’t very tasty and afterwards you feel greasy and regretful that you just paid 6 bucks for that hot mess.
I dined there a few weeks ago and found their menu had completely changed to a total carnivore menu — some kind of seasonal promotion. When I asked for vegan choices I got a blank stare from the server. After checking in the kitchen, the best they could do was another lonely plain salad and being treated like a two headed extraterrestrial because I won’t eat meat eggs or cheese (which seems to be on just about everything on the menu). I looked in the kitchen once, and like Chilis and similar places the food is thrown in a line of microwaves and dressed with a few fresh things before being served. I spoke to the manager and he told me they are not allowed to make any changes to their menu because they are franchised and inferred I should go elsewhere (indirectly). I intend to take his advice and never eat at an Applebee’s again.

Fiancé and I went Saturday with my son and his GF. There was a little wait, But it is a chain and it was a Saturday. So it was expected. We got the 2/​$ 20 and a 2/​$ 25. I got the weight watchers recommended Chicken something or other. Chicken, rice, veggies… Fiancé got the big mac and cheese with chicken thing. We had the artichoke and spinach dip with tortilla chips. Our dip was good. Not amazing. The chunks of artichoke were pretty large. but not an issue. I. He had the strawberry lemonade. Tasted it, it was quite yummy. Waitress was quick refilling. I think I had 5 diet pepsis. :) Kids had buffalo wings. They finished them. Fiancé finished most of his meal. I enjoyed my chicken and veggies. I kind of cut everything up and mixed. Chicken was tender and not dry. We went because we were thinking we were hungry for some sort of salad… but changed our minds. I’d go again… the food was fine and again… as expected– it’s a chain people! I expect a decent meal– not a gourmet meal. It’s clean… and they are pretty quick with serving.

Good service, but horrible food. The Chicken penne was bland, riblets were almost tasteless, and the mashed potatoes didn’t even taste good.

Horrible service, horrible food. We only went because we got a gift card for Christmas. I ordered a drink first, which was a tipoff that the meal would suck. The margarita was put on the table spilling over the side of the glass onto the table, with no effort made to wipe it up. It tasted like slushy water. The appetizers we ordered were sliders and potato skins. Both these appetizers were frozen because the buns on the sliders were still frozen and the meat was hard as a rock. Husband ordered ribs and I ordered steak. Steak was tough as shoe leather and ribs had barely any meat on them. Overall, I would never spend money on this place. The food is horrible, frozen, overpriced, and the service is bad. People were actually WAITING to be seated in this place. I don’t know why.

The A1 Steak burger was dry, bland and overall an embarassment to cows. The onion straws were burned which gave the burger a sour taste. I ordered ‘pink’ and got well done. FAIL.
The one star rating is more of description of my own judgement than Applebee’s. After all, I knew the restaurant was crap and I ordered food anyway. Shame on me and shame on anyone who pays for this slop.
