Applebee’s

The food was very good and our server did a great job explaining some of the menu items. Our food came out hot and it was tasty. The dining room was clean and I especially liked the local pictures in the dining room. It made the restaurant feel more like it was home town and less like a chain restaurant.

The burger I had was fantastic. The waitress was nice and friendly and she moved very quick. This Applebee’s seems to be very customer oriented because they have little tablets at the table for games, menus, ordering and even paying for you food. They also have these cute little booklets that they drop your check off in when you get your food incase you’re in a hurry. I felt a little rushed by this because we had just received our food but I guess I can understand people on their lunch breaks wanted to get out as soon as possible. Their $ 5.99 burger Monday is incredible!

It’s an Applebee’s so you already know what to expect. I honestly highly dislike this chain (especially with how outrageous their calorie counts are) and would normally give them 2 stars at best but we came here today for the free Veteran’s day meal and I will honestly say I was blown away at how good their sirloin steak was for being an $ 11 steak that comes with two sides, at a chain restaurant. Bravo!

This Applebee’s has gone downhill dramatically. The service was terrible. Our waitress asked «are you ready to order or do you need another minute?» I responded yes, implying we were ready to order and she walked away, obviously misunderstanding my response. She then disappeared on numerous occasions and I even spotted her counting her tips while we waited for our drinks. We waited nearly 45 minutes for our food. Then the kitchen screwed up our order. After having to hunt down our waitress to tell her the order was messed up we waited another 15 minutes for the right meal. Both dishes were over cooked, the first one that was correct was extremely over cooked. We spent over an hour and a half in this restaurant, only saw our waitress maybe 4 times aside to when we went looking for her. The only reason I’m giving them two stars is because they discounted us on the meal that was screwed up… Will not be going to this Applebee’s again! Terrible service, terrible food… terrible experience. Very disappointed.

Consistent. You know what you will get from a chain.

I walked in from work the other day and I was starving. I went for a bike ride on my lunch break earlier in the day and it took a lot out of me. When I walked in my house, I told my wife I was hungry and she handed me a white to-​go container. I opened it and it was a salad.
I was thinking, cool! It had dressing on it already so I immediately took a bite. It was delicious! I loved it! My wife told me it was a salad from Applebee’s. I said, «Well, what kind of salad is it?» It turned out to be an Oriental Chicken salad. It had almonds, lettuce, delicious dressing, red cabbage, shoe string carrot strips, little bits of chicken, and lots of other tasty items.
It was really an awesome salad. It was so good that I decided to write a review on Unilocal!just for the salad. Four stars for the salad, but I normally would not give Applebee’s four stars.
Yum!

It’s your typical chain restaurant. Boxed and bagged food that is pre-​packaged and trucked to the location and then steamed, nuked or otherwise warmed and served to the customer «Fresh». I guess i go in expecting a fast food quality dinner served by a college student, «actor» or person in need of a second job.
I have sampled many things on the menu, but the last thing i ate was the Bourbon black and blue burger. It was OK, not fantastic and i wouldn’t run back for one. but it wasn’t terrible. If everyone just went to Applebee’s for drinks and appetizers, this place would have 5 stars. I am not sure what it is, but i really like the appetizers. I have yet to have one i didnt like.
I think your visit should be about expectations… If you have high expectations, frankly you will hate it and never come back. Set your sights low and treat this as if your going to a McDonald’s but with a person you have to tip. I think you will be much happier and have a good experience.
