Applebee’s

Got out of the movies late and other places were close so we decided to give this place another chance. Previous experience about 3 years ago was pretty horrible especially with the food. Well, the food is still just as bad. I ordered the chef’s selection salmon maple glaze with the mac n cheese and garlic mashed potatoes which was a joke. The slice of salmon I received was literally the size of their fork with no flavor. It was simply just tossed on the grill and that was it. The mashed potatoes was bland. Only the mac n cheese had a little bit of flavor.
My partner’s dish was a little better but still flavorless.
Definitely false advertisement for the salmon. Never going back again!

TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE! The food has really gone down hill and the service was never that great to begin with. They did away with the riblets (my wife’s favorite) so instead we ordered the two for 25 baby back ribs and they were dry and overcooked on top of that they were TOUGH. When we told the waiter that we probably wouldn’t be back he didn’t seem to concerned and stated he was hearing that a lot.

I wish I could give negative stars tbh.
I’ve been to this Applebee’s like 3 times and every time it has been worse and worse. However this last time takes the cake! I went there tonight at around dinner time and it was pretty busy. The service was absolutely the slowest and everyone around us was waiting as well. The waitress Kelley got my friends meal wrong and drinks wrong. We didn’t have any silverware and when we asked for some a different waitress, waitress number 2, just like handed us plates and forks with only 2 napkins, there was 4 of us. And when we asked for more napkins they gave us the drink cup napkins? Okay.
Then a third waitress brought my mom’s plate of food and when she brought it out she spilled the soda she was holding for another customer on our table… didn’t even wipe it up or anything. Just looked at it and walked away.
On top of that my mom ordered a coffee and there WAS MEAT INSIDE OF IT FLOATING AROUND, like a piece of cooked fat. I dont even know how it got in there like what are you doing back there? But what really got me upset is then the waitress expected us to pay for the coffee. We had to ask her to take it off which she then had to get cleared by the manager.
And of course we didn’t leave a tip, they didn’t deserve it. But because of that the waitress gave us dirty looks. This Applebee’s needs to seriously step it up or just close all together. Will NOT be going back.

You know Applebees has a great menu and the food is, for the most part, always the same at Applebees. 3 of us ate at the one in Yuba City on Hwy 20/​Tharp last night… the food was great as usual… BUT, the service was horrible. Kelley our waitress screwed up our order (wrong items paired together, brought the appetizers out first when we wanted it with the entrees).
Then…tried to split the bill ourselves on the table computer ordering system… it wouldn’t let us, told Kelley how we wanted it split… she screwed that up too… got the manager involved, manager straightened out the bill… but, was so robotic and seemed so uncaring… lost all respect for a manager that seems to support her inept employee over the customers…
Should have been a red flag when the nice young man who ushered us inside had to verbally prompt the hostesses to even greet us…
Yuba City Applebees needs to step up their game about 100%!!!

Went there with my cousins specifically for the happy hour 9pm-​12am and as soon as our waitress comes to our table I tell her we are here for the happy hour and if all these margaritas and sangrias on the grayish menu are apart of the happy hour and she said yes so obviously me and my cousins order perfect margaritas and even some shots, etc. Then comes the bill and it comes out to $ 105 and we notice nothing was of happy hour price… so we ask her why isn’t it discounted and she says well you didn’t order from the happy hour menu. Really?! This waitress knew we came in for happy hour and she knew we weren’t ordering drinks off the happy hour menu but still she never once bothered to tell us! She didn’t even show us the happy hour menu until the bill came out! We asked for the manager and the manager just kept going on about how the waitress/​waiters are supposed to explain in the beginning the happy hour menu. Well she never told us anything about it!!! The manager wouldn’t listen to anything we said, but did end up giving us $ 16 off. That’s it. Terrible terrible service from the waitress Christie. We also waited 20min for chips and salsa…
Never coming here again.

My husband and I were at the bar and this east Indian was sitting here drunk and made a racist black comment about blacks having no rights. Neither the bartender or the manager on duty said anything to him and when approached about it the manager said «I didn’t hear him say that» and she was at the bar and he was super loud. We will NEVER eat at any Applebees again… Very disrespectful

Some of the worst food on top of the worst service, I would highly recommend not going here unless you enjoy bad food and terrible service.
We tried several items on the menu about four times and now we have decided to not go back.

They redid the menu here and it’s absolutely fantastic!!! From the won ton tacos to the brew house chicken. They have completely won me back over!!! I’ve been wanting to go back and eat their again but I will resist. It’s very good and I was very satisfied!!!

The food was typical and our family felt the proportions were satisfying, not to much not to little. Would have rated this experience a 3; however, our server was right on cue.
The only thing I would change and I have never worked in the food industry is why your waiter/​waitress sometimes has someone else bring the food to your table. You then get to play the guessing game on who ordered what. This isn’t the only place nor time we have encountered this. It is just a frustrating sometimes.

Erik was our server. He was awesome. My husband is VERY allergic to pickles and Erik told him that the meat had pickles in it but he would check if he could have it without pickles. He was able to have it without pickles on a separate grill pan. He was very pleased with the service. My mom and I ordered the 2 for $ 25 shrimp & chicken with house salads. They were awesome as well. Erik always brought us drinks, checked on us, etc. We were really pleased with our service. Kudos to Erik. We will be back!

Horrible service. Waited 20 minutes for drinks after reminding the server 3 times then finally had to get the manager involved. We also looked around and noticed that everyone around us was waiting for things as well. The meal I ordered stated that it was to come w/​bread sticks but the waiter informed «it doesn’t come with that anymore… trust me buddy» Well change the menu «buddy»

We always have a great experience with the Carside to Go. Parking for it isn’t the best though. Only thing I can complain about is the small portions. Doesn’t seem worth it when you pay $ 40 and have 3 French fries. Also, really missing my Santa Fe Chicken Salad that was tossed off the menu a while back.

Great meal there last night — steak & hubby had ribs. Good bargain on 2 for 1 pricing. And I think their hamburgers are the best in town! Juan (one of the managers) has provided excellent service for at least 3 large groups we have hosted there. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. And food is consistently good.

Worse service ever. I have gone to this Applebee’s three times and the service was awful two time. After an hour we got our appetizers and it was cold The carbonation in the drinks was awful. After almost two hours we left without eating.

Decided to give them another try after 5 years. Still horrible service and food. The new menu is what got us to try it out. The pot stickers were the size of quarters! So tiny! And then the drinks tasted weird. The food was not great. My steak had absolutely no seasoning on it not even salt and pepper! The new «unlimited fries» are a joke. We ordered some as appetizers which never came and I even asked 2x she said they were coming out. Then after our meals were coming she said you can’t have fries before your food comes out! Really??! She should have told us that when we ordered it as an appetizer! We will definitely won’t be going back. I highly doubt we will give it another chance the food is just gross.

Janelle was an amazing server and the food was so good! I ordered the double crunch shrimp with mashed potatoes and veggies, AMAZING! Great service and great food, will definitely be back!

Curbside to go currently equals go in because there is no where to park and then wait NINE minutes.
I order online because it is easy, I have little free time, and I can be back in the office in a flash. Today there were no curbside spots. I called and was asked to park and come in. Park and come in?! If I had time for that I wouldn’t order «curbside». I told her I could park right behind the cars in those spots but still she asked me to come in. The lot was totally full so I had to park closer to Jack in the Box (where I should have eaten). I go in and was told someone would be with me. Sorry it took her so long she had some to go orders to put in the computer, um not my problem. She came over asked me if I order this or that, nope neither one of those. She leaves and comes back NINE minutes after my order was «ready» per my e-​mail. Comes with my food and says, sorry it didn’t come up on my screen, again, not my problem. Offers me a free drink. A free drink. You wasted my time. I will not be back. The convenience that you offered wasn’t a convenience at all.

A lot has changed from some of the food, the menu, and especially the serving portions… Im a huge fan of the Artichoke Dip appetizer, and they gave less nachos… I dont know about this, but doesn’t it make it less convenient for the server to keep coming back to re-​fill them?
Other than that, Lindsey my waitress is awesome, felt bad for asking her to help me out a lot. Due to not having enough portions. But she treated me well.

The sirloin steak plate looks so delicious but it tastes horrible ! Worst experience ever

I’m not exactly a ‘fan’ of a lot of chains to begin with, but you know, not all of them are terrible. But, this Applebee’s, if not all Applebee’s (I usually don’t try out too many of them so I don’t know if its a chain issue or not), is some of the most disgusting food put forth by man. It’s seriously almost indescribable how bad it is.
The staff varies from frightening bad, to OK. I’ve had some really really bad experiences here, but the last time we went was not too horrible, as far as the staff went. But holy sh*t their food somehow got worse!
Like I said, I’m not just hating on this because its a chain. Go to Chili’s, go to Denny’s, hell go to McDonalds over going to this place.
I have no idea how they stay in business, other than a bunch of hillbilly’s with no tastebuds who use it as one of the few places to go and get drunk at. Personally, I’d rather go to damn near any other restaurant that has a bar, and now this town has some great local restaurants you can check out instead, just head down Plumas street, or look ‘em up Unilocal,whatever you do, just avoid this place!
