Applebee’s

Ordered Traditional buffalo wings, asked for flats only, they could not accommodate my request, but I placed the order anyway. Worse mistake ever, the wings were Hor-​ri-​ble; they tasted like my mouth fell in a vat of Diamond Crystal Salt. I’ve been to this location before, usually my complaint is on the slow service, but I’d rather have slow service with good food. I can’t eve consume this garbage. So much for lunch, I can’t wait until I get off so I can get something to eat, I’m starving.

Came here with a friend for a late lunch because she was craving chili’s molten cake, and this was the closest to Chili’s dessert. Never again!!! We ordered an appetizer, 2 strawberry lemonades and 2 Three cheese pastas. I took ONE bite of my pasta and spit it out so fast! My stomach felt uneasy and was disgusted that I found a longgggggg strand of hair in my pasta. I called the waitress over, she appologized and offered me somthing else from the menu but who would want to eat there after finding something like that with an unsettling stomach? Not me. The manager didn’t even come to our table to appologize personally? Like. Really? It was not even busy for them to use it as an excuse. We came here for the molten cake and we didn’t even make it through lunch, let alone ordering dessert. Lesson of the day: Don’t cut corners!!! We should have gone to Chili’s!!! Do yourself a favor and skip this establishment, you could end up sick. I’m not a inspector or anything but I think that’s a health code violation.

I always order curbside to go and my boneless buffalo wings were cold. The triple chocolate meltdown is really good.
For ordering curbside to go I always have to wait an extra 5 – 10 minutes to get the food and its usually cold –_–

It’s an Applebee’s. What do you expect?
Given the food is slightly colder than it should be, I would say they just don’t care as much here. But meh, it’s a decent price for a decent dinner. Server was doing a good job comparing to most other severs.
Did not order liquor.
Triple chocolate meltdown was the highlight of the meal.

This location is careless and lazy. My girlfriend and I came here twice and both times had our orders screwed up. I ordered a Mac and Cheese where they didn’t put in cheese.

Their service is good — the place gets busy and the wait staff put in an honest day’s work. The food is very average. I try not to order fried stuff but I ended up unknowingly ordering the tacos and they were deep fried — I could tell the oil was rancid. It left a bitter after taste. Other than that, the empanadas and quesadillas were pretty decent.

FOOD POISONING FOOD POISONING FOOD POISONING DO NOT EAT HERE. My boyfriend and I BOTH ate the onion rings, buffalo wings, and chips with the queso dip. At 4 am I woke up and ran to the toilet. I threw up for 4 hours. When he called me in the morning his head was in the toilet. Your place is fucking filthy Applebee’s

if i can give this place 0 i will… they gave us disgusting meat and raw broccoli! !!!
service was horrible!
only ok think was that we waiting only about 15 mins on a sunday evening. besides that bad experience! last time i will go there!

i dont know how to explain, but the chef seemed like he was in a hurry!! wwwoooorrrrssssttttt applebees ever!!! The server DIDN’t give us plates!!!

I didn’t have a great experience in the Clifton location and reviewed the place online. I was contacted a manager a given a welcome back card of $ 20 to give Applebee’s another chance. I decided to try another location and so here I am reviewing Kearny location.
Ok, I came here on a Friday night and it was busy but not crowded. My family and I quickly got seated. Five minutes waiting and wondering if anyone is going to ask if we’d like anything to drink, our server, Perry, shows up. We decided to give him our full order.
When the food came, my order of bourbon chicken and shrimp came out to be riblets and fries. I just couldn’t believe it! Few minutes later, they brought out the correct dish.
The food was mediocre just like any other diner restaurant but I didn’t expect anything more. However, the service was slow. I paid the bill on my credit card, which Perry took and walked around with it for another five minutes before he brought it back with my receipt to sign. Well, I’ll be checking my credit card statements and if there’s theft charges, I know who stole it!
Must avoid all Applebee’s!

I have to say that I will never into that location again. Matt who was the manager who opened the place did a great job, since he moved the location is a «hell-​hole». The staff a rude and not willing to work. I have had to ask to have my appetizer placed removed while I was eating dinner. I asked for Burger without the bun due to a gluten allergy and you have thought I asked for the world. All the huffing and puffing of the wait staff. The General manager is no better. He is the ring leader to all the problems at the location. New construction will be bringing some new names to the area across the street. I hope that can step it out or they may be out on the sidewalk.

Worst experience I’ve ever had at an Applebee’s. My friend and I both got literally the same meal. The 3 cheese chicken penne. My friend’s plate had less than half of what I had in mine. We get the manager to complain hoping to get a plate with the appropriate proportion and he offers «extra chicken» as if we were just greedy guests. The customer service sucks. The hosts were chatting while there was a whole line of at least 4 couples waiting to check in for a table. Won’t ever be coming here. I am definitely sticking to my normal location in Clifton, NJ.

I normally don’t come to these types of places; the food is overpriced, mediocre at best, and chock full of calories and sodium. Decided to stop by with a friend around 8:30, since not much else was open. We got two sampler platters, one with Pretzel Bites, Sriracha Shrimp, and Mozzarella Sticks. The other with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Salsa Verde Nachos, and Sweet Potato Fries. I got a Fiesta Chopped Chicken Salad as well. To drink, I got one of the Moonshine drinks, Pineapple and Cilantro. When the food arrived, it looked good. My friend enjoyed the pretzel bites, which I didn’t eat after trying a bite because I’m not a fan of creamy, salty foods. The dip was too cheesy for me. The Sriracha Shrimp was too creamy and salty– the sauce was spicy mayo. Too much sodium!!! The mozzarella sticks were alright, nevertheless I only had one. When the second round of food arrived, I hoped for better quality. The spinach and artichoke dip smelled horrible– that kind of creaminess makes me want to vomit. I didn’t have any of it. We ordered smaller portions with the sampler plate, but the portions were huge! We couldn’t finish it all. The sauces that came with the sweet potato fries were too creamy, the fries mediocre. The salsa verde nachos came with a big heap of brisket/​pulled pork on the top. The pork didn’t look right, and they had added a seasoning on top of the nachos to make it EVEN MORE salty! what the actual freak, Applebee’s!!! The chopped chicken salad was alright, but they put too much dressing on it, giving it a sweet, overboard flavor. The moonshine cocktail was too sweet as well. Never coming to any Applebee’s’, not a fan of overly salty, overly sweet, processed GMO foods.

Listen to this story. There was once a crowd of eleven-​teen hoodlums that went to New York. (This is a lousy story.) Ok we wondered around for 29,824 steps, 15.43 miles, past millions of good food places. We ate some pizzas at yay time in the early afternoon, but No supper. So we went back to JERsey, and ate at APPLEbees.
I got a turkey sandwich and fries. The taste was decent. The service wasn’t really. But halfway through my midnight meal, bad things started happening. Either I was having a kid or Applebees was intent on killing me with food poisoning. Either way, it was painful. Bad experience.

I feel like the people below leaving reviews are being a wee bit petty. We got here at about 10:45pm .its relatively busy. Waited 25min got our seat. Waiter came by and was VERY helpful and attentive. IT’S APPLEBEE’S not Phillipe Chows. Our appetizers came in great time not with our meals following too closely behind. Our waiter even bought a cup of hot water for my 8 month olds baby food.
I looked around at other tables trying to sense the atmosphere, no one seems annoyed or
glad we came instead of following reviews, I’m VERY picky and so far so go. Will come back.

Most convenient restaurant to where I was. After I sat down and checked into Unilocal.I saw all the negative reviews about the service and long waits at this location. I would give service for my visit a 4 out of 5 since our waiter was very attentive and brought everything we asked immediately. I didn’t feel like my meal was worth what I paid. I ordered the pepper crusted sirloin with whole grains. The picture in the menu made it look so amazing and delicious my mouth watered. Upon receiving my meal, I was completely let down. The plate was messy. The sirloin steak was so small i ate it in 5 bites and it was over salted. There wasn’t much grains on my plate either. I usually leave a restaurant with leftovers but I finished my meal and was still hungry. Maybe cuz this is considered a healthy dish and they wanna keep it under 550 calories but it was not a normal person portion. My husband ordered the brew pub philly with a side of sweet potato fries and mayo on the side. They put his side of mayo on my plate so we were confused if it was a sauce for my meal for if it was his mayo. They brought him another side of mayo and the mayos did not have the same consistency. We concluded that one of them was actually ranch dressing. Not sure what it was for since neither of us had a salad or anything where we needed ranch. Other than that, he said his sandwich was delicious.

The ambiance was very nice the food was good and desert was the best, the girl who serve my table was extra nice I will come back soon

Horrible service; waited 20 minutes for a waiter; Been here several times and it’s getting worse everyday!!! No one even came over to even ask what drinks we wanted.
Will never be back.

My boyfriend would prefer the buffalo wings the way they were. The new breaded recipe is not as good. The breading does nothing for it. Feels like a trial. Needs to be REAL buffalo wings like it was. Just saying. Me, on the other hand, always get catered to as a vegetarian, so no complaints here. Would like the horseradish sauce back tho.

Everyone thinks it’s strange that I have never eaten at Applebees, so during St. Patty’s Day weekend, I decided to try it. The place was packed, so I sat at the bar. They had good drink specials for the weekend and food specials. I tried the Corn Beef Ruben, Fiesta Lime Chicken and Quesadilla Burger and all of them were great. I didn’t eat all of them, I just like sharing food with the people I eat with.
The service was good and fast. The manager even came around to make sure everyone had what they needed, which I don’t see at any chain restaurants.
I usually never eat at chain restaurants, but I like this one.
