Applebee’s

I have been coming to this place often and on different occasions I do get a different level of service ranging from poor to good. However, considering how busy the place can get, I give them 4 stars, as on average they are doing a good job, and the prices are very reasonable! especially the 2 for $ 20!

Went here about a month ago and the service was terrible. Writing a review now because my friend told me that the bartender was inattentive and often running around, unable to fill drinks. This just reminded me of the time we came here recently. We found a hair on the plate and the staff was rude about it. We also ordered a platter of chicken tenders which is supposed to come with 6, but only came with 4. When we told them this they acted as if we were crazy. Additionally, my son got sick from eating the food, so obviously their sanitary conditions were lacking. The manager was also rude about it, as if he didn’t think our complaints were valid. Next time we’re going to just go to Exit 4. Save yourself the trouble and don’t go to this poor service establishment. I certainly won’t let my son get sick again from eating their food!

Another wonderful experience at this Applebee’s. Is there a new management, I wonder?
This time the server was Gema P. Our young kids commented she was the best ever. Service was quick with attention to detail — extra napkins (without asking), 7 year old was not provided a steak knife (very thoughtful indeed). 11 year old did not have to wait for ever for his side of buffalo sauce. You know when the service is great the food tastes even better! By the way, I recommend Blackened Tilapia. As requested they made it a little extra spicy for me. Good job, Gema!

Excellent service. This place has changed and definitely improved my outlook on Applebee’s everywhere. The waitresses are super nice and helpful. The food is great! They always have food and drinks specials. My boyfriend and I are from the city, finding a low key place likes this with great vibes is an extra plus. Their a welcoming crew and we can’t wait to come back.

Get the calorie counts off the friggin menu. I know they are not the healthiest option on the planet. If I wanted healthy, I’d stay home and have salad with lemon juice and vinegar.
But’s it’s my sons birthday and we owe him a birthday dinner he will enjoy. So off to Applebee’s. He gets the us (as in usual), chicken fingers and fries. I get the triple bacon burger. Well you might make fun of Applebee’s, but this was one delish burger.
My daughter had some pulled pork with bacon thingy that was also out of this world delectable.
Service was good… except we asked for a candle on David’s dessert so we could sing Happy Birthday, and they don’t have one. Really ;-(
Well, not on the date night circuit but good for some things.

Where do I start. My wife and son love Applebee’s so we decided to come all the way from Norwalk. The place was pretty much empty but our waitress took forever giving us drinks. I ordered my son a virgin strawberry daiquiri and it took 7 mins. I remained calm but things got worse.
The food came out and I had to remind the waitress we were missing the piece of bread included with the pasta. My wife’s burger was cooked medium not medium well. I usually ask for a manager by this time. But after coming out the field for 4 days (ARMY) I just wanted to enjoy dinner with my family and NO problems. Won’t be returning EVER AGAIN.
SMH!

It’s a cheap spot to hang out. If you want high quality food and service go elsewhere. It has half priced apps. Good spot to chill on the cheap.

First and last time at this particular Applebee’s. By far the worst experience I’ve had at any Applebee’s.
Friend and I decided go have Saturday lunch here. The place was practically empty with the exception of a few occupied tables (surprising for Saturday lunch time).
I ordered a (medium) «Triple Bacon Burger». Friend also ordered a burger. The food took 30 minutes to come. The place was a ghost town, which made the long wait hard to understand. When my burger FINALLY came, i noticed there were only two small burnt and skimpy pieces of bacon and very small amount of fries.
I called a waitress over, which also took a while since they all hid in the back. I told her my concerns, and with a snarky attitude she replied with «well if you look inside the patty, its supposed to be full of bacon.» Then walked away.
Took a bite. No bacon inside the patty. The patty was also partially raw with a heavy taste of uncooked meat. This is not a medium rare, it was RAW. The waitresses were no were to be found for me to relay the problem.
I left the burger as is and didn’t dare to eat it. When the bill came, I ONCE AGAIN expressed my concerns to another waitress which also replied with a snarky attitude– «I’ll check with the manager and see what we can do.» She came back and said «Sorry, the manager isn’t here.»
AVOID THIS PLACE!

Came for lunch on a Sunday. The staff was friendly and attentive. I tried one of their new menu items: pepper steak on whole grain. Turned out to be a great and tasty dish and not the usual calorie bombs you get most places. Combined with an IPA from Goose Island brewery I actually had a great lunch. Applebee’s is on my short list when traveling as I know I can usually get a good healthy meal and a decent beer, and this one did not disappoint.

I’ve gotten food poisoning 3 times from their supreme nachos (yes, I know I’m crazy for ordering this twice after getting food poisoning the first time… But I love nachos!). I will never eat here again. I think that’s all that needs to be said about this location.

This is Applebee’s so it is what it is –find the bartenders are very friendly, as well as the wait staff. Food is what you expect from Applebee’s. Parking is plentiful, close to holiday inn and shopping.

I stopped here despite the complaints of bad service. The host seated me 15 mins ago… haven’t seen a waiter yet. Too tired and no other options nearby to go elsewhere.

Disgusting food through and through. Applebee’s is the place to go to if you want a cleanse! REALLY! Every time is more disgusting than the next! I will never go again! The staff are friendly, but I’m sure they don’t eat there.

Food is what you would expect from a chain restaurant. I imagine most items to be frozen and not fresh. Wait staff hang around using their phones to check their fb accounts. Keep your expectations on the low side

Poorly trained staff-​waiter dropped a tray, the drinks spilled everywhere. Then it took a half hour to get are app. This is inexcusable b/​c there was like 10 tables most in which had there food all ready. Food was not good very sloppy and presentation was poor.

The place used to be so great some years ago. The service and food quality has just gotten so poor. Loved to go with my kids and their friends but no more.

I was totally disgusted with my trip to Applebee’s.
The food was sub par and service was slow. It was a rainy Thursday afternoon and really not even busy. I didn’t see any excuse for how slow it was.
What took the cake was when clowns from the Ringling Bros circus came in, in full dress, and started advertising and doing tricks at people’s tables. SERIOUSLY APPLEBEE’S?! I’m paying to have a nice dinner out of the house and you bring in people to advertise to me AT my table?! I was left feeling extremely uncomfortable and infringed upon for the rest of my meal as the clown took over the restaurant.
I haven’t been back since and have absolutely no plans to ever return. Never again.

Typical chain restaurant. Came in for lunch with my mom and 15 month old. Our waiter was friendly but we had a long wait for our food. WHY does Applebee’s take forever? This isn’t the only location that is SLOW SLOW SLOW. So annoying.
One positive — I requested the pasta with marinara sauce for my little one to be brought before our food. It came out nice and quick which made me happy.

This is a popular chain restaurant. This isn’t a five star dining facility. You come here because you have kids or want apps and a beer to enjoy the game with.
Wings and burgers are good and the happy hour specials are great. My server was attentive and the 2 for 20 deal is great if you’re on a budget.

My friend and I went her and he ordered buffalo wings and they were really good. I ordered the fish (Tilapia) it came with potatoes. The potatoes were burned and the tilapia was extremely salty. The service was decent.
