Applebee’s

Miserable experience. Not only did we wait over 30 minutes for our drinks, but I was the one who picked them up from the bar. Identical entrees came out with a 15 minute difference, with half of the food being cold. The salads that were ordered as appetizers came after the cold meals, and our server did not bring any sauces or condiments that came with the meal. The manager had a blank expression, and was simply rude. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else to eat on Rockside.

We’re here 2 – 3 times a week that’s how much we enjoy this restaurant. The workers are awesome! Shout out to Sam an exceptional waitress. Excellent food and they always accept our big party of teens who come. Great place.

A typical Applebee’s. We were seated right away and our waiter was friendly and very attentive (maybe a little too much so). We waited a bit for our food but it was a Friday night so we didn’t really think anything of it. I had the Shrimp and Broccoli pasta and it was good but the shrimp were a bit undercooked. Overall, it’s what you would expect to get from this chain.

Took 10 minutes to be seated. Appetizer came out last. Food could have been warmer. But the server was nice and handled it without hassle and very efficiently. Service tops meal experience. We were satisfied overall. Really fun evening with the family! Recommend coming in during apps happy hour if you plan to get those.

Sitting for 15 minutes and nobody is assisting us. Very disappointing coz the Applebee’s in lincolnwood chicago gives a very good service.

I just finished dinner at this Applebee’s. I was alone, and the hostess immediatly took me to the bar area for seating which was exactly where I did NOT want to go, so I had to ask her for a table and she was hesitant and puzzled. My server was pleasant and friendly, and the service was quick. The wine (Sutter Home Cab) was good. The water was good. I ordered double vegetables in lieu of the potatoes, and they were ok (about what you would expect in an Applebee’s). The 12 oz strip steak, however, was not very good. It was overcooked and somewhat tough. As a result, I can only rate this visit as «average».

Another Fish n Chips Review. I have to say that I’ve had the FnS here and at other Applebees locations. It’s consistent and about the only thing I ever get.
1. Fish. It’s always a generous portion. 3 filet I believe. And it’s a nice flaky white fish. No deductions. 5 stars.
2. Batter. It’s crispy, golden and not too doughy. Usually sticks pretty well to the fish and doesn’t slide off the fish at the first bite. Could be a little lighter, and sometimes it’s a little too greasy but rarely. 4 stars.
3. Chips. Usually pretty good. A good sized portion. Well seasoned. 4 Stars
4. Accompaniments: This is where they lose a couple points for me. The Tarter sauce meets all the criteria, but there’s no malt vinegar and they are stingy with the lemon wedges. 3 stars.
5. X-​factors. It’s a chain place. They offer a lousy selection of beers, and slim pickin’s on the whiskey or Scotch. They do have G.L. Dortmunder. The servers at the Independence/​Seven Hills location seem to be exceptionally good which makes this category a little unfair, but I can’t give it more than 2 stars here. Sorry but this place is a lousy bar.
Tallied up that’s a 3.6 which generously rounds up to a 4.

I am really disappointed the Soup and Salad All you can eat is gone for lunch. They offered smallish servings of a soup and a salad and then you could re-​order to try different types.
Decent food for this type of restaurant.

I’m not a huge fan of Applebee’s in general– it’s so… vanilla. But once in awhile I meet my brother for a quick mid-​week lunch. The location is convenient, they have a great lunch menu, and it’s fast. The oriental chicken salad keeps me coming back, it’s always fresh and crisp, and they have a half size in addition to their full size salad.

Hostess seated us promptly. Lots of open tables which was a warm welcome considering all restaurants on Rockside have at least an hour wait. The service was ok. We weren’t greeted by server promptly and it was a bit slow. Food was of Applebees quality and we had an overall average experience.

Frequent lunch spot, service is normally good.
