I just visited this location this evening, for a quick desert by myself. When I walked in the location is very busy, and I was told the weight was 30 minutes for a booth. I said that it didn’t matter and I would sit anywhere because it was just me. They sat me at the table closest to the door, and the hostess booth in the front. While I was sitting there quietly waiting for my meal which was only a brownie and ice cream, I listened to what appeared like the manager, Sherri, complain about another employee for nearly 10 minutes directly behind me(arms length away). Her exact words included, «I’ll kill her for seating someone at that table.» I also listed to her give a snarky attitude to anyone who was shocked by the long wait time. Then, the next customer in line directly behind me, was given a 15 minute wait time for two people, when I was given a 30 minute wait time for only myself. My server, Jennifer, was great, but she clearly was given way more tables than she could handle. I should also note that there were four other employees all hovering around Sherri at the front hostess station, doing absolutely nothing for my whole 45 minute visit. I will think twice about returning, probably not going to happen.

Have stayed away from this place for a couple years, decided to give it another shot with their new menu, definitely staying away for a couple more years. Portions are small and pricey for what you get, food still bland, don’t waste your money on a steak here, go to Longhorn and for about $ 3 extra get a quality piece of meat across the board. They should just go back to being a dried out burger joint that has mushy pasta dishes that it was and focused the expenditure of revamping the place into food quality and service.

This location was pretty busy so we sat at the bar inside and had a couple beers, it was buy one get one free day on beers. Which explained why the place was so busy, lol. The service was fast and friendly, and the food here is pretty good. They are always changing their menu, so that keeps lots of fresh and new items to try. All went well and was good during this visit. The half price appetizers during certain hours are a good deal.

Wasn’t bad… Wasn’t that good either. Another case of no other options in Riverview/Apollo Beach area. Service was eagh at best. I was excited when we saw the menu because they changed it and added a lot of new items. I ordered the brisket enchiladas, my wife got the chicken fajita roll up. She couldn’t sub the fries for a healthier option without a stupid upcharge. She said it was good. The Food was edible, nothing fantastic.

It looks like this place just got a face lift. It’s a newer style Applebee’s. They food was great and they server was very sweet. The tables have a tablet that can be used to order stuff from your table and games to keep the kids busy. But ours wasn’t working correctly so the server had to try 4 different ones to get one that worked. But once a we got that it’s was great to keep my little one distracted so I could enjoy the food.

It’s what you would expect from Applebee’s. One of my favorite things about Applebee’s is the constantly changing menu with lots of variety. Without kids we normally just sit in the bar and eat.

I am so sorry to say that over time, this place has gone drastically downhill. I no longer have ANY intention of returning to this location, or to any other Applebee’s. This is the second time that we have been ripped off on our dinner at this Applebee’s. The server did a great job of keeping everything refilled and he really had a great energy, he was very positive and polite. It isn’t the servers fault what happened, but I was not told there was a recent price increase. Our meal was much more than we were expecting to spend on dinner and it really set us back. The prices were outrageous! And on top of that, I was also told that they no longer have the right sauce for the fajitas I ordered. That is ridiculous and it ruined our whole meal. I used to love it, but I am most likely not returning to this, or any other, Applebee’s. I’m sorry but this is unacceptable. Save your money and go someplace that’s cheaper with better food.

The fruity drinks like margaritas, have SUCKED lately! We’ve been going here off and on for years… However, the people that work here are great. They’re nice, they don’t talk too much. Most of them have been there for years, so the service is consistent. & It’s nice to see the same faces. But they have got to do better about the drinks because Applebee’s food is what it is. We come there for the atmosphere, *Drinks and tolerable food. A person who doesn’t drink much should not go away«untouched» by a 2-for-1 drink. IJS

Service and menu were both very good. My wife and I tried it out on a Tuesday night around 8pm and it was packed. Evidently a lot of people enjoy eating here so that got our interest as well. Our waitress was efficient and friendly and the manager even stopped by to see that we were satisfied with everything. We enjoyed a special dinner for $ 20 for two and had individual meals and a salad. We left very satisfied and will come back.

Have tried this location twice now and I am not impressed. The first time was a late night in which I was served juice cocktails and received attitude once I asked the server to contact the bartender. The second time my daughter had a strand of hair in her pasta. The food is just ok at this location I recommend other Applebee’s in lieu of this location.

The cheese pretzels are to die for, so tasty and fresh, Great ½ price snack if you don’t want a meal. We go for the two for one drinks, as that makes all the difference from a regular restaurant with no happy hour… Like a hooters or Winghouse, etc… cool music too…

New to the area, and really close to my house, so that is nice. Service was oddly slow in some ways, and super fast in others. For example, we were seated immediately upon hitting the door. However, our server was long in showing up, and so were our drinks. And it was a while before she came back to take our order. Then the food came out lightning fast. The appetizer plates(which strangely, they brought out regardless of the fact we did not order an appetizer) were dirty. Food was standard Applebee’s, at least you know what you are getting there.

Super disappointed this last visit. Drinks not refilled often table not clean and food not great. We both ordered the appetizer sampler with choice of 2 items. The servings were pretty small but I guess okay for appetizers. The problem was the food had little to no taste at all. Really no seasoning on anything and food looked like it was thrown together. Have always had good meals here so will chock this up to a bad night. We will see that next visit is like and decide on future patronage to Applebee’s…

We eat here frequently the food is pretty standard. The service is great sometimes and other times very slow. It is close to our house and there aren’t a lot of options around. They really need to clean a little better. There are dead bugs in the lights hanging over the tables.

Good evening Unilocalers. So my daughter and I decided to go out for a late night snack so we chose Applebee’s. So, first the customer service. As soon as we came in we were seated. I was very surprised because they were so busy, yes at 10:55pm they were busy. Our waitress name was Katie and as soon as we sat down she came over and took our drink order and was very helpful with letting us know what the two for one specials were. HAPPY! From 10pm to 2pm they have appetizers for ½ price. We ordered the boneless chicken and mozzarella sticks with fries. So, the boneless chicken was over cooked and dried out. The mozzarella sticks were on point!(They were good), the fires were nice and hot and we’ll seasoned. As for my drink I did the two for one Bahama mama and it was watered down. Well, when Katie came to check on us I advised her that the chicken was dry and she took it off the ticket. Because of the chicken being dry I am only giving them a 3. I think that because it is late and they rushed the order out it would not surprise me if the chicken was already sitting there waiting to be served. No bueno. :-(.

Sat here last weekend with an old friend and racked up a $ 200 bar tab. It was a good time! The bartender was more-than-attentive, and by that, I mean she was making us drinks we didn’t even ask for. That’s better than sitting around parched, I suppose. Additionally, bartender was friendly, the bar area and bathrooms were clean and everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their food. If I wanted to go out for some drinks again, I’d probably return. Why? Two reasons. The first being my aforementioned observations and experience. The second, and most important, all the other watering holes in the area close between 8 and 10 on Sundays. Yep, Riverview goes hard in the paint!

Let’s cut to the chase, don’t waste your time. I was given dirty dishes twice. Poor service. Long wait only to have cold fries and wrong order. This location is the worst, not worth my time or the calories!

This is always a nice place for casual dining and to take advantage of the 2 for $ 20 or 2 for $ 25. This includes a shareable appetizer and two entrees. I always like getting the bourbon chicken and shrimp. In my opinion it’s the best choice on the options available on the 2 for $ 25 menu selection. My meal was delicious as usual. My only pet peeve from today’s visit is the server who was assisting my lead server who brought our food out to the table was a person who was not well groomed and had a several missing front teeth. This is not the sight you want to see just before you dive into your meal. I had to erase that image before I could begin eating and enjoying my meal. The meal thought was nice as usual.

I really liked the club sandwich I ordered tonight, they prepare it with just a ‘drizzle’ of their bar-b-q sauce. Always great, no matter what I get. My service was awesome tonight too.

Really can’t go wrong with Applebee’s. They also have fresh new menu options but they still always offer the classic hits. Great prices and delicious food. I ordered the bourbon steak and it was cooked to perfection. Food came out very fast and service was food. And 2 for 1 specials to add to the enjoyment. And the newest thing I love here, is they incorporated the new electronic Presto system. This thing is great. You can order drink refills and appetizers right from your table. As soon as we finished our last bite i swiped the credit card on the presto machine, added a tip, and then we were out of there just like that. No more waiting for your check, waiting for them them return with the credit slip. It really is a great innovation in today’s day and age
