Applebee’s

I ordered from their 2 for $ 20 menu, my main meal was chicken penne pasta. When it arrived it did not have penne noodles. It turns out no longer carry penne noodles? It is just on the menu, go figure.

Awesome night here!!! (: The waitress Jamie D was amazing, and made our experience that much better. She was very nice and went above and beyond for everything. Always made sure our drinks were filled, and that my families every expectation was met, but they were exceeded!
Thank you Jamie we will be back!

One star for the server who was new and very nice.
We were past the normal dinner hour, about 7pm. We were with a party of 11, and the restaurant was not crowded at all. Drinks and water came out quickly which was nice, and our orders were taken in about 15 minutes, but we are a family who hadn’t seen much of each other in a long time so we were getting caught up and it was okay.
However, (and we started getting really hungry) about 8pm and there was no food for anyone. My cousin and I got our salad then, but no one else had food. By the time the food arrived, about 8:15, four of our group needed to leave with their food to go because it was so late.
The hamburgers looked delicious, but I am gluten free and couldn’t have that. My husband and uncle ordered a chicken dish and while it looked good, that’s all they got. A single chicken breast on a bed of grains and a few vegetables. My husband was still hungry afterwards. Everyone else ordered steaks of various types, and most were satisfied.
Then came mine. I ordered the 9-​ounce sirloin with a baked potato. The potato, while large, was about half done, and with a cold, shriveled look, like it had been sitting under a warmer for quite a while. My steak I had ordered medium rare, and it was definitely medium-​well, but at least with good flavor, at least I think it did, on the two pieces I was able to chew. It was tough and sinewy. I wasn’t going to say anything because it was late and I was tired. But my husband insisted and they brought me a new steak.
This steak was rare. Cold, and less tender than the first one. I gave up.
Then, they charged us for both steaks. Needless to say, will not be returning to this particular Applebees. Good thing I don’t live near here, because I love the Applebees near my home.
A big fat YUCK.

I thought to myself, «hmmm, a chain restaurant, can’t be that bad.» Boy oh boy was I wrong. I used the fancy IOS app and ordered some steak and shrimp dinner with a parmesan sauce all over it. I pulled up to the car hop area and a perky server helped. Arriving at home I dug in. One bite of the steak and I thought to myself, «Wow, that was a tough bit of steak.» Bite number two and three yielded the same results. The shrimp and vegetable side was good. The entire steak was disgusting. I wonder if it was really even steak… but I digress. I will not be dining at this place ever again. Meridian would be better off to have this place close down if this is the food they are serving to everyone.

Good customer service! The people here were helpful and genuinely nice. The food was horrible tho. it was dry and didn’t have much taste. I would have liked a slightly bigger serving but for the price I paid (I shared the 2 for $ 25 with my hubbs). I gave it 2 stars because I ordered thru the car side service and waited forever until I tried the door and found it locked. I walked around to the front where I was given my food which wouldn’t have been bad except I had my 3 kids in the car and had to take all 3 in with me as there wasn’t an adult in the car to watch them. All in all I wouldn’t recommend this place

I was obligated to 1 star in order to post. About once a year we try this place again, just hoping we won’t get disappointed/​pissed again. The service has gotten even worse now that they have the presto servers on the table. They somehow figure they will only help you if you put on your call light. 5 employees standing around the bar including the manager, watching sports, while our light blinks asking for attention. 6 tables in the place have customers. Red Robin across the street may have obnoxious birthday singers but it beats Applebee’s hands down. Waiting in line at Texas Roadhouse is the same price as here and at least you get peanuts and attention from your server.

I did Carside To Go, ordered the Fiesta Chicken Salad & Tomato Basil soup. For 2^nd time in a row ordered I got home and no chicken or dressing. Seriously! I called requested all funds to be refunded & I wouldn’t be returning. Manager did refund money. Never again will I order Carside To Go.

I generally don’t eat at Applebee’s because I don’t enjoy their food. We recorded a gift card for Christmas this year and after a long day I running around decided it was worth a shot. It wasn’t.
Our server was a sweet lady who had just started. She didn’t know much but tried hard. I know what it’s like to staff something new and try hard, but she needs a lot more training. It took her three trips to the bar to tell me what beers were on tap. I ordered a beer and she talked me into the large one, not a hard sell because I like beer. Moments later I heard the table next to me order drinks and their server encouraged them to order two smaller ones as they were on special for happy hour. I wish I would have known.
The beer was tasty, that was about it though. The food was not great, I could have easily done better clumsily stomping around my own kitchen. They goofed up my daughter’s order and had to send it back (see attached photo of ugly Mac n cheese scraped from the bottom of the pan). My son’s pizza bites from the kids menu was a hoagie bun with sauce and cheese melted on top. He’ll eat anything that looks like pizza and didn’t finish it. After a tip, a tab for $ 60 was not worth it at all. Go across the street and eat at Red Robin.

Went in on ¹²⁄₂₃ a Tuesday night. The service was sooooo bad! They have these new tablets to take your order and get refills but that’s no excuse to stop giving service. Food took forever to get to our table and came out cold. You could tell it was sitting in the window for a while. Nobody came to check on us to see how our food was or clear dishes. We waited to see how long it would take for someone to come by but it was taking so long we had to give in and push the stupid tablet to call for service. When we said something about it the server was not very apologetic and the manager who was standing behind her while we were complaining didn’t say a word to us. We will stick to the to go portion of this place cause the service sucks.

Well let me start off by saying that it we hadn’t been to any Applebee’s in over a year for the same reasons that this review is being written at all… Let me also say that our server was outstanding past that this will be the last time I at least (my wife will comment before the end of this) will ever go into an Applebee’s where I am paying ever again. So to start things off we ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer then I ordered the «4» cheese Mac and cheese I pit the «around the 4 because well let’s face it I couldn’t taste cheese at all it was totally over powered by the honey pepper sauce which was so overly sweet that it overpowered the entire dish. Now I know this isn’t in the right order but I am going to jump back to the mozzarella sticks which arrived at the same time as my entre which meant that the cheese was cold, which you’ve ever had fried then cooled mozzarella sticks you know taste awful. My wife ordered the brew pub pretzel bread sticks and beer cheese sauce which was delicious except the dish she received her cheese sauce in was not cleaned properly and there was so little sauce it was not enough for the four breadsticks, at this point we decided to speak to the manager, after waiting 15 minutes to get the attention of anyone in the restaurant admittedly there was only two servers and a bartender, the manager arrived after I had been making eye contact with him repeatedly and attempting to call him over I stopped him as he walked past we informed him of the lack of sauce to which he responded that the breadsticks only come with 4 ounces of sauce. Now my wife and I are both culinary trained and have worked in the restaurant business a combined total of just over 10 years 4 ounces of sauce equals one ounce per breadstick each breadstick was just over a foot long you tell me if you think that’s enough because it wasn’t by the time she reached her third breadstick there was none of the cheese sauce remaining. We also mentioned to the quote unquote manager about the cold mozzarella sticks which he took off the bill. We then arrived at the end of our meal and after some debate decided to have dessert the triple chocolate lava cake otherwise known as a chocolate molten cake was fantastic. All and all I would not recommend this Applebees whatsoever to anyone unless it is for dessert.

Stopped by Applebee’s in Meridian, Idaho on Eagle Rd. early Monday evening as a party of five for dinner. We were led to our our table immediately by a very courteous hostess. My husband and three boys took their seats – I mentioned to the family to order me a water– as I proceeded to head to and use the restroom. After returning to the table and glancing at menus. We deliberate about our dinner choices and wait for a waiter/​waitress. We’ve now been there for over 10 minutes and not so much as a «hello» much less a drink order. At this point, my husband is pretty irritated. A man that looks like a manager whizzes by and my hubby gets out a quick, «How are you?» to get his attention. The man, in full speed towards the kitchen, responds, «I’m freaking FAN-​tastic!» He exits the kitchen w/​a plate an a couple of other wait staff holding the same. We watch them pass by back into the kitchen… we try to catch someone’s attention. By now, another 10 minutes have passed. Too little, too late. My husband had lost his patience and felt he would not allow our money to go towards poor service, or should I say, the lack of ANY service. Needless to say, my kids and I were disappointed … it’s been years since we’ve been to an Applebee’s. The place wasn’t even packed and happy hour was over! Thanks for nothing. Hopefully the one back home in Phoenix, AZ will NOT be like this one. This one is Deserving of ZERO stars.

Food is good, portions are generous. Had a steak overdone, sent it back. Server was great about it, they reduced the meal to half price and manager checked in with us to see if things were taken care of to our satisfaction. They went beyond what we expected and that kind service will bring us back again.

The manager is a huge ass hole and it shows in the way he runs things

It was exactly the same as every other Applebee’s I have been to. When you travel in the USA, it seems they are the only place open between 9PM and midnight. It’s corporate food but very consistent. The 7oz steak is a good value.

My friend and I go here like 5 – 6 times a year. It’s because it’s close, and we like some options every once and awhile. The food here is good, but the service is AWFUL! Usually when you walk in, you have to wait for a host to come from the back and they never say good night or open the door to you when you leave. We have been seated at tables where they cleaned it up in front of us first, wiped the booth (so now it is wet) twice now! Even though there where a ton of empty tables around us, they put us at the dirty one! ALL the staff is slow. When we order appetizers, they come out with your main course, so apparently you need to ask them to bring it out early. We rarely get good service here. This place is rarely busy, so I don’t know why everyone takes so long. The only reason we return is because the food is good, but sometimes the service is so bad that we don’t come back for months. The Applebees in Nampa, by the Boise mall are way faster than this location.

My wife and I have not been to Applebee’s for a long long time. We quit going because of poor service and poor quality food. Well, the other day we decided to give them another try. Based on this visit, it will probably be a long long time before we go back.
Our server was just plain bad. He was dressed poorly, had bad manors, and was not good it his job at all. Other wait staff had the personality of a Turnip.
I had a burger. It was flat, and tasteless. The only thing on the burger that gave it any flavor at all were the pickles. And those were few and far in between.
I would not recommend anyone waste their time at this place.

Had lunch at the eagle location today, and I was very pleased I had the riblets knowing that they are usualy pretty salty so i will skip them next time. How ever there appertizer sampler was awesome there sliders where excellent and the won ton tacos are the bomb. My wife had the club sandwich which she really enjoyed server was quick and attentive. Definitly want to go back and get some more of those sliders and wont ton tacos.

Our server was AWESOME! Especially since there wasn’t near enough help. What manager scheduled one bartender and server on a Friday night.
Took a half hour to get our drinks. Server went to the bartender several times to try and get them sooner to no avail she was just to busy.
Food was excellent like the new recipes on some of the appetizers.
This would have easily been a 4 star review had there been enough help.

Went here recently with my niece. My niece got a milkshake and I just got the nacho appetizers. I think applebees is probably my favorite of the «me too» family restaurants like chilis. The menus is pretty varied and they have a lot of unique recipes. But overall this is just another boxed restaurant.

I usually only come here after 9 up unto 1 am, all apps are half price and drinks are 3 50, if u want to have fun for cheep, this is the place to go!
my fav…
buffalo boneless wings, Sliders and a root beer
total cost:13 .25
