Applebee’s

We love the 2 for $ 20 deal. Good price for food. Expensive beer. Service is usually pretty good! We love the car side pick up option.

Great burger, super service & best bartender (Renee) in town. Unfortunately the worst music to dine by. May not be back.

Stick to appetizers and drinks! Last time i was there I had their 7 ounce steak and it was horrible plus the celery served with our appetizer was half frozen. Time before that I ordered a sandwich with fries and a literally only got 10 (maybe less) small fries. That same time my sister ordered a burger but the lettuce and onions served on the side should have only been in the garbage can.

This place is full of really adorable people! I’ve really enjoyed the good here, and the people! I’ve gone for dinner, with friends to drink, and on a date here, and not once have they disappointed me. There was one girl once who looked really tired, but she was all smiles and the cutest thing ever amgish.

Hv always recvd grt service here!
EZ in and out for call ahead and p/​u. Love their 2/​$ 20. I usually order their steak w/​baked potato and seasoned veggies w/​Caesar salad. My other half the same or ribs. The quality in steak has declined as of late. Whn ths deal initially began it was fabulous! Here it is months… years later and what began as steak is now a tad questionable. Needless to say I’ve ventured out of the box still tkng adv of the 2/​$ 20 altho detouring frm the steak. Its no 4-​star for sure.
Ths particular Applebee’s restaurant is clean overall. Staff and service members are friendly and outgoing (1 or 2 maybe a little too friendly) as in over the top annoying.
My biggest complaint… my glass sits empty… seriously. I warn waiter/​waitresses I LOVE my ice water, may as well bring a carafe, do they listen?! No. Then they’re annoyed that I’m annoyed that everyone @ my table is annoyed because I’ve drained their glasses as well! DON’T LET A GLASS SIT EMPTY-​PLZ!
BTW I am a generous tipper… ;)

Few of the staff could work in a competitive urban environment. The place would be out of business in a week.
Food was just O.K. Is that what you want, O.K.
Staff, C-​, Food C-​. Happy Travels

For an Applebee’s, we had the best experience ever for a chain restaurant. At 3:30 pm the place was deserted, but no one was slacking, chatting among themselves or on their cell phones. Every server had a quick pace and was attentive to their customers. Food was excellent with crisp tender veggies.
The chains in the Bay Area should take a few notes.

Been to this Applebee’s twice now, it was awful both times. The service and the food itself needs improvement.

Stopped in while traveling, and will not be ever stopping again. Service was mediocre. Food was lousy. The kids meals are subpar, with the burger my child ordered being delivered very overcooked with a stale bun. To add insult to how bad the experience was, one of my kids had been touching the iPad you can order with. Apparently they «ordered» a game for $ 1.99. When I asked about it, the server gave me a blank look and said that it tells you there will be a charge, and walked away. Wow, thanks for reminding me why I haven’t eaten at Applebee’s for 10 years. Won’t be making the mistake again.

I was a little hesitant to try this Applebee’s after reading some of the poor reviews. We were very happy with the food and service however!
The friendly hostess greeted us immediately. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and the meals arrived quickly and were tasty. We tried one of their Halloween themed drinks and now have a little crystal skull shot glass to add to our Halloween décor. It will look cute filled with Halloween candy!

Dishes are always served dirty. Every time so far. Kinda gross.
First time, we were given empty plates to share our order and the plates the waitress grabbed were clearly used and had food crumbs and smears on them. We got some replacements but that was a big fail. I think since the cleaned dishes are dirty too, they can’t tell the difference. ha Actually, the server just want paying attention.
Second time, food was good but silverware and bowl were crusty and dirty. Maybe their dishwasher doesn’t work. Pretty unappetizing. Spotted a manager but he was busy hanging out, sitting at a table and I didn’t want to waste my time flagging him down. Thought you guys should be warned — dirty dishes. Now you know.

Friendly staff, updated interior, ok food
When I was reading the other reviews for this Applebee’s branch I almost chose a different restaurant for dinner.
As it turned out this was not necessary. This Applebee’s is as good as any other restaurant in their franchise system. The staff is friendly, the food is as good as it is in any other branch and the design was recently updated to the company’s new modern approach (depending on your taste you either like the minimalist design over their old cozy appearance or not).
I recommend this branch if you are looking for all American favorites in a casual atmosphere.
BTW — most other restaurants’ appearances in the area are run down and create the impression that they are not as spotless as the Applebee’s.

Food was fine. Minus stars for service (not horrible but not great). We had a few questions about the menu and server Sarah began to get clearly annoyed. She impatiently said,“I’ll get your drinks while you decide.” Excuse me? You should have brought our drinks BEFORE you came to take our order. My Dad is 84 and you could have been more patient. Then they brought four salads (only three of us at table) and at the end of the meal they brought my Dad a beer which belonged to the table next to us. Won’t return to this location; next time we’ll go across the street to the Rockin’ R Restaurant where both the food and the service are superb.

Came here passing through on our way to WA. It was not a horrible experience but not a great one. Got there and customers were waiting on the hostess, so we waited and then more came and waited. many waitresses seen the line of customers but… nobody came up, or said welcome, we’ll be right with you. minutes later finally the hostess who seem to be missing for quite some time showed up. granted, it seemed as if they were not used to having many people or a busy night so they seemed kind of flustered. however a simple smile or greeting goes a long way. At least the hostess after making customers wait should have apologized, NOPE nada.
— after being seated we got our drinks and ordered dinner,
got the drinks and server left. He seemed overwhelmed with the amount of people who showed up for other parties. So much so didnt come back until after dinner was ready to be brought to us and served.
after dinner was served we had to wait to get utensils because we were never given any so well our food sat in front of us we were unable to eat unless we used our hands?! that was frustrating. finally someone came by and we were able to ask for utensils. we ate our meal and then we left.
was this a horrible experience? no. Was it something I would come back to you if I lived in this area? definitely not. I’m just glad that we were just passing through and it wasn’t a super horrible experience… but after driving for a long time and just wanting to relax and have dinner experience wasn’t the best.
Food wasn’t too tasty but it kept us feeling fed.
Bathrooms need some cleaning up.
They need better customer service training.
Not purposely rude employees, but they do need help getting better.
*^ the one star is only for the young man who was our waiter i forgot his name but he was the only reason I even gave this restaurant a star at all.

Plusses
Some really good food dishes, crunchy shrimp was delicious; sweet potato fries and steak and onions were the standouts
Clean restaurant
Plenty of TV’s; Nice atmosphere
Minuses
Poor customer service. Was here 2x and both time waitresses were inattentive.
Had a few issues with food items — related to previous note; customer service to rectify situation was not good at all.
Prices are somewhat on the high side

Very disappointed. Wait staff (Alicia) was not attentive & food was over cooked. I can deal with bad food but service is everything. I would gladly pay an 18% tip for less than average service, but what do you leave when the person doesn’t ever come to your table or any others? Further, there were no apologies or explanations on why? Maybe this isn’t her calling??? Or maybe terrible management??? IDK but I won’t be back… EVER!

Our first time at this location and the service was horrible. They had the bartender working tables and the bar. l could forgive slow service for that. But it took 40 minutes to get the food and there were only about 20 people in the restaurant. Then all the rest of the staff appeared and finally after us asking we got our food. The person who brought it didn’t ask to refill our drinks, or ask if we wanted more napkins since we were eating sandwiches. We waited another 10 after eating hoping to order dessert, but then the hostess just showed up with our check so we paid and left. No one ever came to clear our plates from the table. Just really crappy all around. The food was okay. But you could tell the salad I had was old, the lettuce was brown on the edges and the carrots all dried out.

Came in for lunch and had the cedar salmon. It was great, but the artichoke parmesian topping was too strong for my liking. Took it to the side of the plate, problem solved, and it was excellent. Great flavor and the peas, potatoes and veggies were just enough. My bf had the mushroom swiss burger. Said it was nothing to rave about, sadly, but not the worst either. Servers was great. Ty.

Giving this Applebees a five star rating to offset all of the lower reviews on here. My girlfriend and I always have a great experience here. The staff is young, nice and energetic. The food comes reasonably quick even when there are a million people waiting. I always enjoy my meal. I like this Applebees better than any other Applebees I’ve ever been to.
Go Red Bluff Applebees! Keep doing what you’re doing. Great job!

Worst service ever! The place was empty yet we were ignored for ten minutes. I worked for Applebee’s for four years so I can say… This place is NOT up to corporate standards! We left after appetizers due to poor service. To be exact, we couldn’t find our server, the bar tender wouldn’t look our direction, the host was busy, the manager only crossed the back and yelled, «expo»!
I headed for the nearest exit and will est elsewhere.
