Applebee’s

If you want good, fast service, ask for Marissa! Hands down the BEST server there! She will make sure you have everything you need and that your food comes out right!

I’ve never really liked Applebee’s but someone else was choosing where we went tonight. I was actually really impressed. Our server was excellent and really knew how to take care of a six top party. The siracha shrimp Appetizer was really good. Spinach artichoke dip was mediocre.
The wonton shrimp rice dish was pretty good, something I’d order again.

Terrible service! Walked out before receiving our food!
Server was argumentative about when to bring out sides of mayonnaise to the table. We ordered water and after waiting 13 minutes we never even received water. The restaurant was not busy at all.
After reporting the experience to the manager, whom was unapologetic and was indifferent. We decided it was best to leave and take our business to Friday’s.

I did the online order to go. Walking in the place looked great and the staff were friendly. It took about ten minutes to get my order. They also left me standing at the hostees stand which was strange as people came in.
The food was still hot after taking it back. That was the only positive. Ordering the Mac and cheese seemed to be the Kraft Mac and cheese minus the cheese. This was the best part of the meal. The veggies with my steak were only cooked on one side and remained raw. The pretzel was okay at best.
In the future I will probably not go back to the food chain.

Stayed at a nearby hotel, so this was the «default» restaurant or it would’ve been Wendy’s or Mcdonald’s.
After we were seated, it took a while for our server to greet us. About 15 minutes after being seated, she finally came over to greet us. Seeing we had a toddler, we just went ahead and ordered. She was very nice and attentive. However, I guess they were really that busy, but our foods took a loooong time to come out. They were lucky, because it was a decent meal and my mom likes the place. Would maybe go back if we’re ever in the area.

We stayed at a nearby hotel and didn’t want to drive to eat so our default place was Applebee’s or McDonald’s.
The food was good, typical of a chain restaurant. I might have given them an extra star if they didn’t forget our food twice which we had to go pick up. They were apologetic but after a busy day not something you wanted to do.

Not so good food or service. French onion soup was so salty we couldn’t eat. Other food was salty, but edible. Waitress never came back to check on food. Applebees in cherry hill is a better place to eat.

Seriously one of the nicest, if not THE nicest Applebee’s I’ve been to. Jetlagged and ready for the day to be over at 1pm, the bartender (young black female) picks my day back up. She is sweet, attentive and on point. Definitely the best steak I’ve had in any Applebee’s as well. Normally they over cook it and I have to eat it as is because I never send anything back to the kitchen, but they cooked it perfectly (medium rare). Five stars for this visit.
Since then, I’ve come two more times. The bartender Ally (Allie?) a tall blonde Caucasian female has been the absolutely worst server/​bartender I’ve ever had. Not only does she not greet anyone as the sit at her bar, she ignores them for a length of time until she decides she wants to attend them. Does so curtly and dismisses clients quickly. I always tip a minimum of 20%, but she has made me want to rethink my tipping habits. She seems to hate her job and does the absolute bare minimum to keep patrons taken care of. She never asked if I needed anything or if I wanted refills. I had to literally ask her for refills on expensive Martinis various times and she doesn’t even acknowledge me. Just keeps on her merry way u til she returns some time later with a drink. She is the reason I will find a new place to go. She loudly told a patron his card had a low balance as well. That’s very distasteful and needs to be done with more respect. She is a HORRIBLE employee who clearly despises the guests and her job. Sorry Applebee’s…maybe the manager should watch how the employees treat the guests instead of hiding in the back all night. I won’t be back. Zero stars for this visit.
1 star because it’s the lowest I could rate.

Staying at nearby hotel. Walked over for dinner and had great service and sampler deal. 2 for $ 10 — tasty snacks and plenty of food. Pretzels and quesadillas — yum!

Everything is average– what you’d expect from a place like Applebee’s. Appetizer plates were dirty when they came out. Avoid the fried shrimp– they are not frozen and tasted like fish sticks. I was disappointed

I will never go to this Applebee’s ever again or Applebee’s period. Yesterday two of my co-​workers and I were enjoying what seemed to be a safe to eat meal. Then my three month old pregnant co-​worker found a 2″ inch insect cooked in her food. It was the most disgusting meal I’ve ever had. Witnessing that big insect cooked into her food made me sick to my stomach. The manager did finally came over and her lack of manager skills was obvious. She tried to insinuate that we could of possibly planted that thee??? Are you kidding me? That clearly was a cooked bug in my co-​workers meal that came out of your kitchen! Now I can’t help but wonder what else goes on behind their kitchen doors. Please anyone going there check your food before eating it because they clearly don’t if they let a 2″ insect be played and brought out as an acceptable meal.

I’ve only ordered car side service here not dined inside this particular restaurant but I’ve ordered about 3−4x’s. The take-​out is prompt, friendly and the dinners are packed well with all cutlery/​items needed. The food is good and dishes well portioned.

Way better than we expected.
We went on a Friday night for a semi-​emergency dinner after a road trip, and even after 10pm, it was still kinda busy.
Ordered a salad and a sampler platter. Both were well-​made, and generously sized for the price.
The interior is upbeat and sporty, like a modern, less shabby Champps. The tables have these mini touchscreen computers, which we were new to but they turned out to be cool for ordering more items and playing mini games.
Also, service was awesome, which is very unusual for this area nowadays. Hostess was nice. Our waitress was nice and accommodating from start to finish, and our drinks were never empty.
I will admit that I was kind of unsure of going to this chain due to the low reviews. I’m glad we did go anyway, and we’ll frequent it often from now on. Our only complaints: The booths facing the bar are on this tall box really high off the ground; it’s a «look out below!» accident waiting to happen. They could turn down the music a bit, too… no one would consider this place to be a club after all.

Nice, new and improved environment. From sitting in a booth to the bar it’s very clean. TVs everywhere so perfect for any sports events.
Good specials. Sat at the bar and got a 9oz steak with potatoes and my girl got fried shrimp and fries for 25 $. Beer specials 2.50 $, can’t go wrong.
Only negative experience would have to be one time the waitress forgetting about our table so we just went to the bar instead. The bartenders were nice.
Overall, good specials at the right times.

New Apple bees that opened up about 6 months ago. Clean and friendly atmosphere. They have this new touchpad menu system where you can order and pay for your meal, appetizers and drinks. Friendly wait staff, will recommend to anyone.

I had the hot boneless wings and 3.00 Long Island Ice Tea and a $ 3.00 Margarita from the happy hour menu. This location was ok. Not the best that I have been to. The servers were so/​so. They just couldn’t seem to get the orders right of the other people that I came with. Not so sure I would choose this location at a later date.

We eat out often and decided to try out our new neighborhood Applebee’s. What a pleasant surprise. Our server, Marissa, was exceptional. Really attentive, funny, relatable and polite. The manager visited our table and we raved about Marissa. We observed the other waiters and waitresses and have to say that each and everyone of them love their jobs and go above and beyond their duties to accommodate their customers. The food was excellent and service was spot on. We will be frequenting this location in the future. Job well done. Can’t recommend this Applebee’s enough!

3.5
Service has been efficient and service has been quite friendly both times. The strawberry daiquiri is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. Me!

Applebee’s is one of those standard chain restaurants that just doesn’t measure up to some of the others for me, but I can’t help but be drawn in again and again by $ 3 drinks and half prices apps after 9pm — it makes for a decent Friday or Saturday night in the burbs. Recently it seems every Applebee’s has adapted their late night offer, customizing what is half-​price and what drinks are $ 3. This particular location has $ 3 Long Island Teas or House Margaritas, and a lift of 5 or so ½ price apps. For and extra 50 cents, I splurged and ordered a pommegranate margarita and the green bean crispers. The green beans, which are breaded and fried and served with two different dipping sauces (I stay away from the bacon one, but quite like the creamy horseradish), were delicious — hot, consistently breaded, and a decent portion. The margarita was actually better without the flavoring, and I ordered the 2^nd one sans pomm.
This location is fairly new, and the bar area is clean and has a fun, modern design. All the chairs are bar-​height, and were sort of tricky to maneuver. The service, unfortunately, was terrible. Our waitress brought 2 drinks and then forgot about the 3^rd for 20 minutes, messed up the specifics of our order, and disappeared for long stretches at a time. While it seemed like there was a large number of staff proportionate to the few customers, something wasn’t gelling right.

We live nearby and have LOTS of choices for a Saturday lunch but we decided to try this brand new Applebee’s. I figured it’s been open for about 2+ months so the kinks should all be worked out. The place is beautiful and there is PLENTY of staff moving around but there seemed to be little control. When we walked in an employee opened the front door for us and a hostess greeted us but she was washing menus with both hands in a bin of soapy water so she and the employee that opened the door had a silent staring contest over who would actually seat us. She lost and had to dry her hands and seat us. The place was about 20% full but she walked us by the empty tables to sit us in the bar for some odd reason. Our waiter was nice enough but seemed «off» and easily confused. We had to help him along with each stage of the process. Drinks, appetizer then entrée. He was ok but at one point came over to us with a little dustpan and broom and swept under my wife’s feet. She lifted her feet for him but who does that while guests are eating. I saw supervisors and staff always gathered by a station near the kitchen watching the room but not helping or training or talking with customers. It looks like a booth near that same station is the «employee booth» as I saw staff sitting in it the whole time. At one point a female employee with a lot of hair sat there and aggressively scrubbed her scalp and hair for about 10 seconds then got up and walked into the kitchen. I watched another gal carry 4 drinks to a table by holding two and carrying the other two against her chest with her forearms. Our food was very underwhelming. It was hot but my sizzling double barrel whisky sirloins had no seasoning on them. I was served two dry steaks with no garlic or thyme flavor as the menu said and the peppers, onions and mushrooms were simply fried in a pan and mushy with no hint of a whisky. My wife’s chicken was moist but again, just a bland grilled piece of chicken on a bed of mushy vegetables. The garlic mashed potatoes were good though. I’d like to give you my review of my wife’s soup but it never came out. I do recall her asking what the soup of the day was and was told «I don’t know but we do have…» He went on to tell us what we already saw in the menu and never offered to find out about the soup of the day so she picked another off the menu but like I said we never saw it anyway. My wife came from the bathroom to say not only was it a mess but there was no toilet paper or paper towels. That pretty much summed up our first and last experience at this restaurant. Oh and for a bonus the place is right next door to The Knights Inn Hotel/​Motel and in just the hour we were there we saw 3 separate people come in and sit at a table or the bar and not to be judgmental they all looked homeless and dirty. Looks like we are back to Champps, Fridays, PJ Whelihans or Miller’s Ale House.
