Applebee’s

Loved the table trivia games for just $ 1. The food was good too. I’d be back if I’m ever in the area again.

First of all let me say I have never been a chain fan. Got in late to a hotel. This was next door. Went into the bar, I was surprised at the nice selection of food. The bartender was prompt and friendly. I ordered the wedge salad for 5 bucks. It was ice cold, had a nice amount of blue cheese and bacon on it. Very good.
So here is the scary part, I dont normally eat chicken, I find it dry and not much going on. Trying to save a few calories I ordered the chicken skillet topped with shrimp over the top of mushrooms on a super hot sizzling platter with potatoes. It was tender, juicy and delicious.
Giving it 5 stars for a chain. I would definitely go back.

Minutes from the airport, I always stop here for lunch before my 1:34 flights. Their lunch specials are reasonably priced, but they are small. Perfect size for me but it may not fill up someone with a big appetite. Fast service. This is my usual place for lunch, as I travel a lot. I would have given 5 stars but the restaurant is always cold.

First server was great. We paid our tab with her as she was going home. Second server was busy… But not TOO busy. Spent all her time talking to everyone else. We asked the bartender to help us, he looked around like «uuuhhh what?» We had the «call server» light flashing for ten minutes with other servers helping everyone around us. I hope the manager teaches them to work as a team. I’m a server, terrible service. Sorry. Serving people is a team effort. Did I mention my husband had to go to the bar to get the drinks we had ordered ten minutes prior? They were sitting there THAT long. Why could no one else run them out to us? Terrible.

Absolute worst service I’ve ever had at an Applebee’s
Glad I don’t frequent Boise. Will not be back

Second time here in the last couple of days. Today, they were able to squeeze our 19 girls and 7 parents into an already crowded restaurant. We just finished our first game of the 2015 USYSA Soccer regionals and staying at the Fairfield Inn down the road. These guys are accommodating and they try to cater to all the teams out of town. Tony, our server, has been AWESOME! If you’re staying at nearby hotels, ask for the hotel discount. Thanks Tony and staff for they great service and food! We will definitely return this week to feed our team!

Don’t waste your hard earned money here! It’s not that the food is bad, or that the service sucks, it’s because there is no value here! Their portions are SMALL!
I patronized the place last night, ordering a Thai chicken salad to go. I got a small salad with a small sliced chicken breast, 2 small dressing containers, and A bread stick that smelled and tasted of some type of seafood! Not a salad worth $ 12!!!
Go elsewhere, unless you’re not hungry!

I’m normally not a big applebees fan but this one is an exception. Service has always been great and food was exactly how it looked on the menu. My husband and I go here a lot for happy hour specials. The appetizers are great and the drinks are strong!

Close to my hotel when I come here every trip has been a reminder why I chains are shit and this one especially… the manager is a complete tool talking shit about employees at the bar loud so its not a secret his knuckles drag on the ground as he grossly attempts to flirt w the customers place is a jerry Springer mixed w walmart

Like every other time I’ve been to Applebee’s, it wasn’t by choice. It had been a while since I had been and this was the group pick of where to have lunch so there ya go. I tried to be optimistic because I hadn’t been to Applebee’s is while, so I thought things could be different. At first it was fine. The staff was pleasant and the environment was nice. They had lots of sports on TV and a little computer on the table in which you could order from. I got the triple bacon burger thinking that would be an easy lay up for any restaurant. Then I saw my food come out…
I don’t know what I was imagining would find its way to my table, but what I got was like something from a drive thru. It was on the smaller side and all disheveled from itself. I know making the diner assemble their own burger is normal now, so I’ll let that slide. The fry sauce I got was served in either a small shot glass or a large thimble, don’t know which. Basically, it’s a portion problem. Maybe I’m a fat assed American, or maybe I’m just a normal American who already worked eight hours that day? The taste is just okay. Every dish was just okay.
I don’t want you to think I hate you Applebee’s. I don’t. You just don’t do it for me. I don’t have an answer for your problems either. It’s just you. And it’s just okay. Unless you make a radical change in your doctrine as a restaurant, I don’t know when if ever we will meet again.

I’m always a little surprised when people give a place like this one star. Unless the food is total swill (read: you’d walk out rather than eat it) or the servers are obnoxious beyond repair, it just seems a little unfair. I mean, it’s Applebee’s…if you go here looking for Top Chef you deserve one star for idiocy.
I ordered chicken tortilla soup, it was in front of me five minutes later and was pretty tasty. I then ordered a salmon dish that was forgettable but once again, I wasn’t there to take pictures of the food, if you know what I mean.
My server/​bartender, Austin, was ON IT and super friendly. He hooked up a solid libation. That and the Clippers game and I was good!
Food:3
Service: 5+
Drink: 5
For the record, I must state that I do not love the food at Applebee’s. That being said this place is only A five minute walk from the Fairfield and it is the only option that is within walking distance. Don’t let the sucky reviews stop you from going here if you’re hungry. You can enjoy fine dining when you return home to your local establishments.

You lmow I went to this place only because it was close to my hotel. Unfortunately food was only marginal kind of what I expected.
The service is great though.
That’s all I can say.

Ok well the service is exceptionally slow. The bar tender lacks any professionalism. When my waitress asked him for me if they have new castle his response was don’t ask me if we have crappy beer. Maybe his beer knowledge is limited to just Applebee’s or maybe he is one of those craft beer snobs. The food is mediocre and the service is worse. I say go any where else even the damn grocery store before coming to this place. At least the service will be better.

Bad service here. I don’t usually eat at chains like this but I was staying at a nearby hotel, so I ate here out of convenience.
I sat at a bar table and the server came by and wiped it with a wet towel. The only problem was she left it soaking wet! Of course there were no napkins on my table so I had to grab some from another table to wipe it dry myself.
I ordered a Blue Moon draft with a lemon. It came back with a lime.
I then ordered a steak and baked potato. She asked if I wanted the potato loaded, to which I said yes. I had no idea this was a $ 2 upsell; I only noticed it on the bill. It came out looking like I would expect without the extra charge.
The beers here were a pricey $ 5. $ 25 and change for average food and poor service. Too much.
The next night I ate across the street at the bar in another hotel (I think it was called the Sports Page) and the food and service were much better. The beers were only $ 2.

Poor service… me and my boyfriend stay a night at hotel next to applebees… im order black russian and my boyfriend order bluemoon… but when she’s check our ID… she said she can’t sale drink to my boyfriend… coz his ID expired… this is 1^st time check expired date not DOB. When we want to order chicken wings… she just told us… its not happy hour… I love applebees… but for this… im very unhappy. After shes delivery our food… she’s never come back to check our table… if need something else. We never have this problem…

Typical chain… only a great example of how great service tops all. Tyler was the server. Very attentive, with great suggestions for my family. Great service Tyler!
We had the typical 2 for meals cooked to order with great sides.
Thank you for the great service

Nice to have a low cal option however the price was too much for the small portions. The chicken dish w mushrooms was almost too salty to eat. I won’t try this again.

We went last night and had dinner here and I liked it. The service was good, the staff was extremely friendly. They even noticed my husband was watching a basketball game on his phone and one of the waiters told him that if there was something he would like to watch they could switch to that channel so he could watch it on the tv that on the wall in front of our booth (that was really nice!). The food was delicious and because yesterday was Wednesday we only paid 99 cents for our son’s entrée (a super deal they have on Wednesdays). The only reason why I’m only giving 4 stars is because our waitress forgot to refill our drinks.

Right across the street from hotel. Show room key get a discount. yummy. Fast.

I don’t know why the bad rap from the other reviews. It’s a standard Applebee’s except busier than most I’ve been to probably due to all the nearby hotels.
Best to go early or late. From 6−8pm they’re swamped most nights of the week.
I sit at the bar, which is usually very busy, and the bartender/​server gal does a fantastic job. She’s a real go-​getter who stays on top of all her bar customers as well as pouring drinks for all the other servers.
My meal? Very very good. Bourbon Street Steak, medium rare and cooked to perfection. Mushrooms and onions on the side with fried potatoes. It’s very good, fairly cheap ($ 14) and comes out piping hot on a sizzling platter ala fajitas.
Yay! I’m a fan. =]
