Applebee’s

Had a very bad experience. Couldn’t get a refill on my coffee till I order a beer and then was denied service at 37 years old. My id was expired by a month and I didn’t notice because I never get carded because I am 37 years old. Our server only showed up to take the order. She never came back to refill our drinks and a manager had to come out and get me a coffee. It’s a shame Applebee’s is spending all kinds of money to reform their failing brand and just have know idea about The ever-​changing landscape of the service industry. I will be sure to let the people I talk to know that new grills and new menu items didn’t change a poorly run restaurant

We used to go to this restaurant quite often but the food and service went down hill. It had been awhile so we decided to try it again. We were pleasantly surprised. I ordered Crispy Brewhouse Chicken. It was a stacked meal. It was served in a bowl. On the bottom was a foundation of homemade mashed potatoes. They had skins in them which added to the flavor. Then there was a large piece of friend chicken breast on top of the potatoes. The chicken was hot, crispy, and juicy. On top of the chicken was a dark brown gravy that was excellent-​not too salty and it didn’t hide the flavors of the food. Then there were crispy onion rings on top. They were thin and crispy and the perfect topping for this dish. It was a great meal!

Most disappointing meals ever. Beef brisket chimichanga looked like something out of a frozen dinner. The beef was chopped up little hard pellets. The corn wrap was just a soggy mess… The quesidilla burger was under cooked… The server was not the most attentive person… Made the decision to just pay the check and leave… love Applebee’s thought maybe we had entered an alternative bad Applebee’s world… Sad

Not bad. About what you’d expect for an Applebee’s. The burgers came out pretty good, I’d have to say. Service is average. I’d come back to an Applebee’s in a pinch but not my first choice.

Honestly! ! This place sucks!
The food is Not fresh at all. It’s all frozen and reheated.
My husband ordered ribs and they were burnt and dry.
You can tell they were old, cooked a day or two before and reheated. My salad was 90% dressing and what tasted to be imitation bacon. I returned my mango rita, it was all sour mango! We will never eat here again.

We went here tonight for a birthday dinner for my son. We had a nice time, it was very relaxing. The wait was short, just 15 minutes, although it looked like it was much more busy based on the full parking lot. The beer selection is poor but I was able to settle on a Goose IPA. The waitress didn’t know anything about the beers explaining that she’s a vodka girl. I actually would up having two as did my wife so we were off to a good start. For dinner I had a steak selection that stated to have just over 300 calories. It tasted good and I definitely do not feel like I over ate. (I spent my calorie savings on the beer.) They have a number of menu items with calorie and protein content printed in the menu which I really like. The other items with no calorie information you can probably safely assume are at least 1000 calories.
My son didn’t have the same type of fun as his parents since his beer was rootbeer, but as a consolation he was serenaded by a half dozen waitresses closer to his age than mine and given a free sundae.

Ya know, I don’t know what the hell I was expecting but here goes nothing. For some reason all the other Applebee’s in the Pitt area are better than this one. The wait staff used to be great, then it took a dive and now they’re starting to improve again but they aren’t the main issue. The kitchen is terrible. Everything that comes out tastes like it was cooked in the microwave. The pasta, the steaks and even the burgers don’t taste quite right. At other locations your food preparation is a lot better. Normally with this type of food people won’t care because the ingredients are typically low quality, but when prepped hastily its just a mess. The only thing that was ever prepped right was the appetizers if it wasn’t busy. I know firsthand from friends that the cook staff are overworked, understaffed and underpaid and its really not right when my bill tops off at $ 30.

Meh… they were under staffed due to some call offs. It’s hard to give them a bad review when employees don’t show but the service was slow and the food was average. They were packed so the seating was cramped. My review is just plain meh.

Went here for lunch today was seated quickly the waitress was polite & professional the service was excellent & also fast the food was very good will definitely be going back

I have been here twice in the last week. Both times it was the car side to go, and both times we had the pleasure of having the same waitress. Carrie. I had been in the restaurant industry for over a decade as a manager, and have seen lots of waiters/​waitresses in my time. I can honestly say that Carrie was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of having wait on me. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and even better than I that is she is an honest to goodness nice person. We get the 2 for $ 20 sirloin steaks every time we go, and for an extra $ 2.99 I add parmesan shrimp to mine. I got 7 shrimp along with my meal, plus both entrees came with two sides and we got an app. In all it came to less then $ 25. Like I told the management even if we didn’t like the food as much as we do we would still come back just because Carrie is that great. I

This is your typical Applebee’s and is a good choice while staying in the area. I visit area a few times a year and have eaten at this Applebee’s several times and have always found the food to be good and well prepared. The staff is friendly and takes care of your needs without being intrusive. Never had a bad experience here and will continue to visit when I am in the area.

Just took my 15 y/​o dd for dinner tonight. Greeted first, by a young lady holding the door, a hostess seated us immediately, and the waitress was at our table within minutes (a third smiling, friendly face). Iced tea and water brought to our table in another minute, dd had to wait maybe three minutes for a milkshake.
Appetizer — I picked the sampler, was hot and delish! I love spin/​art dip and the fresh chips only made it that much better.
Entrees: I chose the ‘twofer’ with steak and shrimp pompodore. Wonderful and filling. DD had a 12 oz steak n steamed veggies. She stole my breadstick, but with all that, we had enough leftover to take home for a very late supper. (we ate around 3 pm).
All waitstaff (including the waiter who brought the shake, and complimented my purple hair, and DD’s Pikachu shirt) went out of their way to make us happy and satisified with our dining experience.
To the older ‘lady’ who thought she whispered the comment about my hair to her husband: at least I wasn’t wearing pajamas and slippers, ya old biddy.

Ate a BLT here for lunch which gave me severe food poisoning… avoid. On the flip side the staff is very nice but food quality seems to get worse everytime I go.

There is some good and some bad. Picked up some car side Togo tonight. The positive is the food was really flavorful. They are currently featuring tex next food on there menu. We chose a chicken and shrimp dish along with a steak dish. Both were juicy and made my taste buds happy. Now the bad the side on the steak were so small it literally made me laugh. They might as well not have even put anything on it. It was really pathetic. Still it tasted good. I also with there was more beer cheese with the app as well. Over all it was about as expected.

Service was okay. My sizzling skillet did not sizzle at all… I notified the server and things were fixed, skillet still wasn’t doing much but whatever. The appetizers are better than the entrees in my opinion. I use to work for Applebee’s at a different location in PA. So I know what to expect on a trip to the bees! Gotta love the margarita though…

Came with my daughter and got the 2 entrees for 20 $ special. I had the fiesta lime chicken, it was a fairly large portion, and really yummy! My daughter had the 3 cheese chicken penne, which she liked but wasn’t as hot as it should have been. Food was good overall. Server Dana was great, friendly and quick!

This is one of my family’s favorite places to go to eat. Service is very friendly, and the background chatter is usually quite low. Babies are quite welcome here, and no one gives you a hard time about your child making noise (as long as it’s within reasonable limits, of course). As for the food? I know people like to give Applebee’s grief about their perceived lack of quality/​taste, but I have absolutely no complaints. My wife really loves their steak here (and she’s not a steak eater *at all*), for one thing. And for another, their 2 for $ 20 menu is pretty economical (my wife and I order off of it every time we come).
Really, going to any of these chain casual dining restaurants is an exercise in expectation management. Is it going to be the world’s most amazing gourmet food? Of course not. Is it some glorious temple in which foodies and aspiring hipsters can congregate and worship? No, there are many better options for that crowd (and they’re welcome to them!). And maybe if I weren’t married with kids, my opinion would be like theirs. But really, in my old age I’ve come to appreciate kid-​friendly restaurants with friendly service and no-​nonsense food — and Applebee’s delivers in that arena.

I feel like I want to like this restaurant because it has a convenient location and a menu that doesn’t suggest complexity. Unfortunately, the food is just atrocious. The quality of everything they use is very poor, and it shows.
I’d advise you to save your money and just pick somewhere else.

Eh, I’ll be generous and give it 3 stars. Applebee’s, Chili’s, Lone Star, etc. They’re all in this area. It fills the bill if you’e going to a movie at the nearby Maxi-​Saver as my friend Lisa and I were. They’ve got a Sizzling Asian Shrimp & Broccoli on their under 550 calorie menu which is pretty good.

I went here a couple of days ago for dinner with a friend; it was not impressive. A friend and I are both calorie-​counting right now and due to the new Diet-​Conscious menu that Applebee’s is so heavily advertising, we decided to give it a try.
This was pretty stupid on our part…
PROS:
The «Under 500 Calorie Meal» options on the menu;
Average Pricing;
Restrooms were clean.
Our waitress was nice and was willing to answer the questions that we asked about the menu.
CONS:
Food Quality is somewhere between Good and Fair;
My plate came out looking like someone had just slopped the food onto it;
Nothing too original on the menu;
They don’t carry any Low or No Fat Salad Dressings.
All in all, this wasn’t that good of a trip – it was «okay», at best.
If you’re interested in some sub-​par chain restaurant food… go for it!
If you go here thinking that you’ll be able to watch your waistline AND eat some good food, you’re heading towards disappointment.
