Applebee’s

*** could not post on my account so I’m posting from a friends*** I never write Unilocal reviews, in fact this is my first but I figured this visit would be a great first review. For starters the service was excellent. Our server Mark made sure we were completely satisfied with our meals. I made the unfortunate mistake of order a burger that had pork in it, I dont eat pork but had told Mark not to worry about it. When my company was finished with her meal another employee named Josh I believe (super cute, colored eyes, light skin) noticed I had only taken a bite of my burger and offered to bring out a new one or comp our bill. The manager who’s name slips my mind but she had short hair came out and apologized, service was great and everyone was so kind. I’m very pleased with this visit. — Sarah Gillespie

Our server, Mark, was awesome! He brought refills when needed and was super friendly! The food was excellent as well. We ordered the bourbon street chicken and the sirloin steak, both cooked to perfection & delicious!

Went here for Mother’s Day not crowded at all service was great! kept our drinks full at all times checked on us frequently I had a perfect margarita it was perfect the steak and potatoes were perfect too. My whole family was satisfied with all there meals.

What started as a bad experience got significantly better when the night time manager Brittany stepped in. Me and my boyfriend were getting ignored by our waiter and when we finally got our order in it came out wrong… we did not even have to say anything Brittany noticed us looking at the plate oddly, fixed it as fast as she could and apologized very quickly. She talked to our waiter and even comped part of our meal for the bad experience. There was nothing more she could have done to make our late night dinner better.

This is a good location not crowded and not noisy. Good food too. Marie was our sever very kind and she was always ready to refill the water and tea. This is my favorite location and I’ve ate at a few in the area

Our server Mark was amazing. Running around bringing us drinks and making sure everything was perfect! The food was far better than anything I have ever tasted. Lemon chicken with rice and quinoa and cranberries. Oh my gosh it was heaven on earth! The drinks were perfect. That rum punch was to die for! There were three of us and it wasn’t too pricey. Best Applebee’s I have EVER been to! I will definitely return and recommend! Thank you Mark! Your earrings were on point! :)

The staff at this Applebee’s is always super friednly, and the food usually comes out pretty quick.

The Bartenders were nice but the manager is not nice. I was asking who was going to serve us and she reply she was the manager not a server and that the bartenders would serve me, she was not professional at all… I don’t like her at all she doesn’t Make you feel welcome

Not bad for an Applebees, first time to this location and I was pretty impressed with the variety of good, well priced food that they offer. The food is good, great service, great location and very affordable prices!

Horrible, horrible, horrible. Ordered a oriental chicken salad and the lettuce was old and discolored, the chicken was overcooked, and the beer I ordered was flat and odd tasting even though it was a local craft beer (due to lack of cleaning the tap lines). The only decent thing was the fries which I had off of someone’s plate in my party in which they ordered along with some tough to eat riblets. Definitely won’t be coming back. The only reason for deserving a single star was the waitress being nice and courteous.

I love Applebee’s. They are pretty consistent with their food. You can count on it to taste the same every time you come. There happy hour is a great time to come with lots of good deals. So many appetizers to choose from and great meal options.

We have been here a few times and its always been great !
The staff are very friendly and very attentive. The food is always good and tasty.
We always go in the early evening. It can get a little loud at times but its not bothersome.

This Applebee’s location has amazing service, even the hostess was very kind. Food was brought out very fast and our waiter took very good care of us. Once we were ready to leave the manager walked us out and thanked us. I will definitely be coming to this location more often.

Came to Applebee’s on a random Tuesday night for dinner. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Applebee’s and it seems as if their menu has changed. For appetizers, we had the kobe meatballs. They were ok. I also had their Pepper-​crusted sirloin for my entrée. It was an under 600 calorie entrée, so I didn’t have much flavor to it. All in all, a standard meal at a chain restaurant.

This is by far the worst applebees I
Have ever been to. The service is extremely slow. Bartender inattentive, food portions are mediocre, food quality– always burned.(we decided to try try try this place again and it never fails .) alcoholic drinks seem non alcoholic because such easy pours. When I think redlands I think quality and this place is definitely not quality. Definitely not up to other Applebee’s standards. They should really re evaluate this location

Fully satisfied my boyfriend and I left the restaurant with food comma. Andrea G our waitress was superb loved the fact that she was always looking out and making sure we were happy. Second time I come to the one in Redlands and food is licking good.
We both had the 9oz Sirloin steak with shrimp over warm cheese with mashed potatoes and vegetables.
i ordered there onion soup that was exquisite. love it.

I use to love the happy hour… the staff are all pretty cool I know 2 of them personally. What really kills me is not the lack of service but the lack of quality.
Bonless wings have come out Luke warm the last 3x
But this last time just did it for me
I ordered a Long island ice tea and on top of the lemon wedge they put in the drink was some sort of big insect. The waiter was like «oooh yeah thats a bug should I call the manager?» And I was like ueah and call the Orkin Man …
Manager on duty was very apologetic… she said I wont charge you for the drink… I never even took a sip, so that was obvious. I had a quesadilla and she didnt charge me for that $ 4 on happy hour and I said ok. What wasnt ok was that the 2 other people were only half way done with the plates they ordered and they didn’t want to eat no more. Nothing was done about that… just sorry and a free quesadilla they didn’t charge. I didn’t make a big deal out of it, they got our $ 75 but we wont be back again

Uniqueness in food is a major quality i’m after.
There are so many places with the same type of food.
I would come back for their swiss burger.
The service in this specific place is good. The servers are attentive.
But like I said, i gotta try more food at this place til i’m hit with something that’ll just keep calling me back.
The probably plays a major factor when I’m rating a place. Who knows, i eat here again and some food on the menu item gets me to raise the ratings.

I don’t know you well enough to tell you the story of how I ended up at this Applebees, so let’s just skip over that part.
THE STEAK:
My god, the food here sucks. I ordered a sirloin steak that was advertised on the menu as either 8 or 9 ounces (I don’t remember exactly which). Part of the problem with picture menus is that the pictures show a BIG beautiful steak shot by a professional food stylist in a studio set up.
What I got on my plate instead was the saddest, misshapen piece of low grade beef I think I’ve ever seen. If you look at the picture I posted, you’ll see that the size of this thing barely qualifies as a chicken tender. And it was basically slapped on a plate and previously frozen French fries thrown on the plate.
After dinner, I asked my mom if I could pop one of her muscle relaxers because my jaw was so sore from gnawing on this piece of meat that had the texture of rehydrated beef jerky.
THE TABLE:
As I was praying to God to make me a bird so I could fly away… far, far away… I looked up, and on the wall of our booth was a big collage of pictures of the local police department. Okay, I get that this big corporate giant is trying to fool people into thinking that they’re a local community restaurant by posting pictures of local firemen, little league teams, etc. But honestly, this is the most awkward, inhospitable, and unappetizing thing you could put on the wall, just short of pictures of local morticians. You can see from the pictures I posted that I was looking up at pictures of SWAT teams, a militarized police force, and even a picture of some cop in full tactical gear on the side of someone’s house with an HK MP5 submachine gun raised and ready to kill someone.
Applebee’s, thanks for reminding me that the community of Redlands, California isn’t much that much different from Fallujah or Kandahar.

Tonight we called in some desserts for the crew. Unfortunately, after 9 p.m. the employees are not able to deliver curbside.
Despite that, Mayra was awesome in assisting with my order.
Excellent option for a rainy night!
Everything in our order was accurate and the food was great!
This makes up for a previous trip, where a waitress (who shall remain nameless) accidentally dropped an entire plate of food at our table, landing on my husband. She simply was not paying attention as she was focused on another conversation.
I chose not to write a negative review at that time because the manager was on top of the situation and acted accordingly.
Generally we have a great experience overall and end up with servers such aa Brandon, who is attentative, swift, polite and friendly.
Overall, we enjoy this location.
