Applebee’s

Went for evening appetizers and the place was quiet. Food came out quickly and just as we ordered. The appetizer trio, which is supposed to be shared had odd numbered portions so we had to duke it out for the last mini taco.

Tried again this pet weekend with my kids. It was about as expected and was okay. We had burgers, salad and a platter. Burger was tasty but no where near medium. My sons fish was okay but it looked like everything was literally thrown on the plate. It’s obvious they don’t care about serving good food.
Service was just okay. The waitress ignored us for the first 20 minutes but was okay in the end.
We may be back as there’s not a lot of good choices in Piscataway around Rutgers.

Well. Applebee’s doesn’t particularly have «great» dishes. However, they do have some good dishes– just like any other typical chain reataurants.
However, I give them 4 stars for the great half-​price appetizer deal that they offer.
When you visit Applebee’s after 10pm, you can get any of the appetizers in half price! Pretty amazing deal in terms of «affordability.»
I normally visit Applebee’s after the exams for the post-​exam relief party with my friends. Variety of choices available — Starting from the wings (thry have both traditional type of wings, and boneless wings!) pretzels, chips, cheese dips, nachos, wonton fries, mini burgers, and so on. And out of all billion appetizers dishes I have tried, none of them have ever failed me!

I don’t know exactly what to rate the Applebee’s here. Probably 3 stars.
The service was pretty decent and prices were good.
The food we ordered was mostly average or slightly above but not bad at all for the price. The bbq ribs had a good sauce and we’re cooked well but the flavor didn’t really get into the meat.
The drinks we had here really made my day. The berry Margarita was tasty and not weak (better than I’ve had at a lot of establishments in Jersey) and the tall yeung ling for 5 bucks hit the spot.
Comparing chain restos, I would say the Ruby Tuesdays we went to in Somerset had better food and a decent all you can eat salad bar. This Applebee’s is not bad for drinks.
Random tidbit overheard from another restaurant patron «sriracha sauce? That’s like mayo right?»

Love coming here! Especially after 10 when they have half apps! It is so worth it bc I love the buffalo wings and the quesadillas for $ 5! It’s a great deal and there awesome customer service I rarely have to wait for a table! Definitely recommended!

The food was good but like everyone said service is VERY slow and subpar.
We had to literally find our waiter in the restaurant to ask to order a drink, dessert, and for our check.
We’ve been here for an hour and a half and there is only two of us.
Drinks were also good. We had the margaritas.
The establishment smells funny. Our table smells like baby puke.

Sad to say this Applebee’s was a huge disappointment. From the service to the food. The waiter was non personal. Really did not even look at us when was addressing us. Head down all the time. The lady that brought us the food. Literally threw the food on the table. The presentation of the food was disappointing. And to top it all off! The food came out cold and tasteless.
I like applebees. The establishment in Parsippany is on there toes. Complete opposite.
Well I know we all have a bad day. But judging by the Unilocal ratings of this place. Bad service are a regular here.

Apparently med rare means well done. Not sure why. Too bad it’s the closest thing to the hotel.

We came on a Friday night for dinner, it was a big disappointed, they changed a lot compares to other times we come.
We ordered the «boneless buffalo wings» they came in a metal plate, we felt like I ate from a surgery tray at least they can serve the food nicer.
The service was ok, very slow.
I also have fried fish, the worst I have ever had, Burger Kings is better.

Applebee’s has really stepped up its game. A few years ago my boyfriend and I had a really bad experience and stopped going for a while. When the waitress had brought over my boyfriends burger the top of the bun fell onto the table and she literally laughed and picked it up with her hands and to place it back on the burger, gross. Ontop of that his burger was unevenly cooked and the service was bad.
We recently decided to give it a try again and it has changed for the better! Food is consistently good, no problems. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are all super friendly and attentive. We now leave happy and satisfied and it’s so close to home, very convenient. We will continue going back.

Horrible service. Our waitress Sabrina, was really slow and left all our plates on table even though we were finished with them. She was also eating while serving us. It was just disappointing. Won’t be back to this applebees.

This is our local applebees and can get crowded on the weekends and game nights. The staff is usually young people and always changes. The food quality changes randomly. Sometimes the appetizer is fresh but sometimes you can tell they just microwaved it. Someone also got food poisoning from their ranch sauce. Overall, I’d come back only because it’s the one we usually go to.

French onion soup is good but, the artichoke dip was not up to the expectation. Desserts are to die for

I like this location a lot better than the other ones nearby. Bigger and cleaner. Service was good and bartender was nice. I would come back.

Looking for something to eat late so we decided to Stop here for ½ off appetizers and drinks. We ended up not getting ½ off appetizers but instead the sampler which u can choose 3 for 13.99 And $ 4 for each additional appetizer.
The pot stickers tasted hard and dry like they just reheated something that was sitting out.
The chips that accompanied the spinach and artichoke dip was ssssoooooooo salty I need to pitchers of water to go with my meal .
The sweet Asian chile wings were delicious though and tender.
the wonton tacos were also really good and flavorful
The Waiter brought us the wrong flavor for our sangria and at the end of our meal we ordered food to go, waited for it to be brought out only for the wrong food to be brought out. Uuuggghhh so we had to wait for him to put our correct order in.
They are getting two stars for making so many mistakes with our order and for the food tasting reheated.

Came here for lunch with a friend on a Monday afternoon. Seated immediately and order taken quickly. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was decent — as one would expect (hope) for a chain restaurant. It’s more about meeting in a reasonable place (as opposed to a diner) which Applebee’s suits the bill fine. Not the best food but a reasonable selection so when we don’t know or can’t agree on a specific cuisine, we head off to Applebee’s.

I always cringe when someone suggests going to Applebee’s. It is very hard to find something substantial to eat if you’re a vegetarian. At my recent visit, I ordered a Napa Chicken and Portobello entrée and figured I could work with that, minus the chicken.
Since I would not be getting the chicken, I asked the waitress for extra veggies. Well, I got extra veggies, but not much else. Here is the description of the original dish:
«Napa Chicken and Portobello
A grilled chicken breast topped with portobello mushrooms and onions smothered in a rich red wine sauce and our Parmesan cheese blend. Served over sautéed zucchini, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, red onions and crispy red potatoes.»
What I received:
Grilled onions served over sauteed zucchini, mushrooms, roasted red peppers & red onion. NO portobellos, NO red wine sauce, NO parmesan cheese AND NO potatoes!
I told the waitress that I was missing the portobellos and potatoes (not realizing the sauce and cheese were also absent). A few minutes later she brought a small plate of lukewarm undercooked home fries. And for this, they charged $ 12.99. (Heaven forbid they should take a few dollars off if I’m not ordering the chicken).
The waitress was friendly, but definitely overextended and I did not see her again until later in the meal, so I could not return the food. I was too hungry and did not want to upset my dining companions.

The bbq spiced fries here really made my day. This alone was rated 4 stars and everything else is like a meh 3 stars. I was surprised these tasted so good. It reminds me of bbq pringles. «Once you pop, you just can’t stop.» For me, this is just a reliable local chain where I can just chill at the bar and watch a game. Nothing too special here.

Worst services ever. I just moved to piscataway so this is my 1^st time going to applebees in the neighborhood bad experiences I willn’t be going back, the staff is rude

Worst service from a waitress there. Went to the Applebee’s to celebrate graduation from Rutgers with my friends, and I ask a simple question how many wings were in the appetizers, boneless vs. classic. And she just laughed at me and said that was the stupidest question ever. And I calmly say that BWW has varying numbers depending on your order, I was hungry I wanted the most wings possible. And she just said BWW was stupid and that question was stupid. Needless to say, I didn’t order anything an never will again. She tried to explain herself for being there an hour after her shift ended. But excuse me? Is that an excuse for providing terrible service and embarrassing your customers?
Never again.
