Applebee’s

You should know what to expect when you go to Applebee’s, but this is a particularly good location. Food is consistent, atmosphere is relaxed and familiar, and the staff are friendly! Half-​off Apps are always a good reason to stop by with friends, and the drinks are good too.

Service is unbelievably slow
Food was undercooked and manager didn’t offer anything, just shrugged his shoulders and walked away.

First time at an applebees, first time at the minnesota. I LOVE THIS PLACE. The customer service all the way from the gm to the servers is amazing. I will be back during my stay here. Cant wait!

My family has been eating here for about a decade. We love the food and the staff is great.

My husband I have eaten at the Mankato Applebee’s many, many times over the last several years. Here is my review:
FOOD: Consistently good, not excellent though. Adequate quality, can tend to be over cooked and the sauces in my opinion are too salty, the fajitas and grilled potatoes as an example. Have also noticed a tendency to overcook lately, especially the fajitas. Always cheerfully willing to alter an order, and add some salsa or small things like that make Applebees stand out.
DRINKS: Great bar, nice to sit at, friendly and attentive bartenders and generous wine pours. The bar is the biggest PRO to this restaurant. Great perfect margarita too. Better than average beer selection.
SERVICE: Always friendly, quick, professional. No complaints. Outstanding seating times, have never had a long wait at anytime and the place is consistently busy.
ATMOSPHERE: Upbeat, bright, modern vibe with lots of pictures on the walls of local school sports teams — nice touch. There are TV’s to watch but easily ignored of you want. Very diverse customer base, everything from families with small children, old folks, couples, college kids — but you don’t feel like you’re being over run by other people’s children.
BUILDING: Clean, neat, bathrooms are also clean and neat. Adequate seating area for waiting. In the winter sitting at the bar can be a bit chilly and breezy so try to sit facing the door. PLENTY of parking.
Overall a «yes» recommendation! We go often and will return soon!

Great food, great atmosphere, and great service! Half price appetizers after 9 rocks!

After being able to observe and work with the staff in the kitchen, behind the public eye, I am confident in grading this particular Applebee’s location with 5 stars. The management and the staff truly does strive to maintain their best at this very busy location. Their happy hour selection is great and the atmosphere is always upbeat and fun. This works well on the weekend if you are not interested in meeting up with the intoxicated, downtown crowd. My fav: The perfect margarita on the rocks or the red apple sangria!

Always decent service. Nothing absolutely spectacular but where do you find that these days?
I’ve always enjoyed the Cajun Burger, and I even shed a tear when I came to knowledge that it was taken off the menu. Frowns turned to smiles the second the waitress informed me of blah blah blah steak. STEAK! Yes please and keep the kamikaze’s and bulldogs for my friend coming.
