Applebee’s

I wondered into this establishment on a brisk Tuesday afternoon with the ambition on having hardcore sex… as soon as I walked in the employees talked to my cock in such a way I have never heard, the waitress was very persistent in trying to suck me sideways… but my boner was dead so instead I just asked her for a burger, the burger was bursting with flavor of taint and farts!

NEVER AGAIN !!!
My wife and I were dining here every week for years before we had kids, always sat at the bar and always served by Meghan… we never ever had a bad experience.
3 years later enter two kids so we had no choice but to sit at a booth and deal with the cream of the wait staff… we’ve been dining this way maybe 3 or 4 times a year and have been disgusted every single time.
Starts with the hostess or whoever is at the front door… in today’s case was a young lady who sat in the middle of the doorway while my wife, myself and two toddlers tried to squeeze in by her… no greeting, nothing. OK…
We sat at a booth and our waitress started the conversation by apologizing… strange but whatever…
She takes our drink order and returns sometimes later (drinks not here yet) and we put our order in… kid’s meal, appetizer and entrees.
Sometimes later drinks finally come and everything we ordered… everything.
OK, now we need a bigger table but whatever, let’s start eating. NOT SO FAST… we have no set-​ups whatsoever… no napkins, no forks, nothing… so we wit for our lovely waitress again to swing by every 15−20min intervals… we ask for silverware and she replies: «I have none in the front, I have to get that from the back.» We really didn’t care where she was bringing it from as long as she does it before our food turns cold… by the time silverware arrived I had finished my Blue Moon so I ask for another one…
Fast forward 30min we’re pretty much done with out food and stil no sign of beer, she swings by and tells me: «your beer is being prepared at the bar».
Really? Are they brewing it there?
Anyway, I say thank you and finish my entrée, by this time the kids are antsy to get out, my beer is still MIA so I ask to cancel it and just give me the check. Of course she replies: «your beer is ready, I have it right at the bar.»
No thank you, just give me the check, I reply.
Honestly I don’t even know if i was charged for it or not as I paid the bill and got the hell out of that place.
I worked in the restaurant business for 6 years and this was by far the worst experience I ever had.
Manager did not came by to ask us how everything was, nothing… usually they annoy you every 5min.
So dear Applebees, you lost me and my family as a customer, we will never again set foot in any one of your restaurants ever again.
P. S. — those rib cuts appetizer are nothing but pieces of bone in bbq sauce… no meat whatsoever… this is coming from a guy who loved your riblets.
— Blue Moon should be served cold not room temperature (read warm) after sitting at the bar for a long time
— just because your restaurant is located in a ghetto area it doesn’t mean your staff should be ghetto too, rude and not helpful

Long story short… NEVER AGAIN !!!

Myself and my son went here on the rare Saturday night that I had off from work. I had a giant margarita, and we both had the steaks. I always love this location, it’s never really crazy and loud like some of the other locations and the staff are always very friendly. Plus it’s good for a 9 year old, which makes a difference to us!

Foods pretty decent nothing special, staff can be a little slow, the bright side is their hours, and drink specials. If you need a place to sit down to eat or a quick hangout its a good spot.

Super clean, parking is not an issue, food is delicious, waiters are friendly… Need I say more? Excellent place to eat and we will definitely be back.

Had a great time. Food and customer service was great. Loved there berry sangria! Had 2 of them! Its a great place to eat and try to catch up on the latest gossips with an old friend.

Service lousy! The food is typical Applebee’s! I been here several times & my food has come out cold. No lie cold! If you love Applebee’s food the one in Fishtown is a mile away from this one. The service here comes with no smile & a lot of eye rolling at customers.

There is certainly a difference between going inside and carside To Go. If you head there will low expectations then you’ll be fine.
i’ve had 3 bad experiences ordering from carside. usually I pull up and wait 5 to 10 minutes for someone to come out to the car to acknowledge me. One time I actually went inside I waited so long. The food is inconsistent. I’ve had very good food and on the same menu item overcooked or soggy veggies.
It is good that they align with Weight Watchers points and have some diet-​friendly items to choose from. But that is no different from the national chain.

Great location better then the blvd location everything started good till we got the food we order couple appertizer n two antries we got the appertizers and only one of the platters the steak was over cooked no garlic bread then we received the second one 20 min lata sad 3 stars for the drink

Wonderful staff. Cold beer! Very clean and great atmosphere! George, the bartender, is the greatest!

Hey ! Pull over ! There’s an Applebee’s. Our server Anthony was great. Friendly & informative. Quick & attentive. We were hungry. It was decked out for Halloween. The Chicken lime 550 calories grill platter is what I had. Stanley had the bruschetta chicken salad. Yum.

This place is really 50/​50, its either good or its bad. I’ve had times where my waitress never came to check up on my table, times where my waitress made me lose my appetite and other times where there are no complaints. Really taking a chance with this location, but luckily there are other good restaurants around :)

My band and I come here most thursdays before rehearsal. We love it unironically. And tonight Shauna D. was our favorite bartender yet. She was funny, hospitable, and charming. And she didn’t make fun of us for splitting a bill 4 ways. I would have spit on us. Thanks ‘Bees!

The food came out on time. It didn’t look fresh and the salad had way top much dressing. I was embarrassed I brought my family here. What do you expect it’s Applebee’s.

hey, it’s applebee’s. good caesar salad.

Same ol, Same ol. The food was food. The bacon cheddar burger came out cooked great but the fries were salty as hell! The waitress suggested a drink the yummi gummy martini and it was entirely too sweet. And I much as I am a fan of good customer service, she was obnoxious. Sorry, but I don’t like to be hovered over or interrupted every 5 minutes. She insisted that my guest go online to rate the restaurant as we were seated and was a little too pushy.

Food was horrible!!! Never again!!!

It’s a freakin’ applebees… are you people serious? Nothing but a bunch of «bought in» microwaved crap. Save yourself the money and buy a frozen dinner b/​c that’s what they’re doing in the kitchen at applebees.

I’m a big fan of this place! I treat myself to a 12oz. steak once a month and even have a managers «frequent visitor» card that gets me a free meal after my 6^th stamp :)
I like the bar during the evenings while watching HD sports (go flyers!).
Cool crew. Great food. Better prices.

What can I really say about Applebee’s… I’m a fan (some employees at the Center City location know me by name *shrug*), so a good review is not hard to get out of me.
They sent my annual «Happy Birthday, Free Food For You,» voucher last week, so Thursday morning, after a particularly sloshed birthday celebration, my brother, my sister, and I took our hungover tooshies to get some grub.
We split an order of boneless buffalo wings, then I went for the chicken fajitas, brother had the chicken penne, and sister had the A-​1 Realburger. I was hesitant to taste the penne after the experience I had at Chammps, but, o.m.g. it was good. Everything else was just perfect, as always, but next time, I’m going for the chicken penne.
Side notes:
1– I am so weak over those Realburger commercials. (They make me want to run screaming up 15^th Street and demand as much beef as they can give me as fast as I can shove it into my big, fat mouth.)
2 — A tad annoying that my voucher always specifies the Aramingo location, when 15^th Street is within walking distance, but, oh well.
3– I think the hiring manager must be a woman, cuz those men/​boys in there are BEE-​YOO-​TEE-​FUL. And our waiter was a doll. Wanted to take him home with me. So sweet.
