August 2010 — "We decided try out the Applebee's beside the Boston Pizza we were heading to. We actually check out the menus before we sat down just incase there was nothing we wanted. The menu has a good selection of salads, steaks, ribs and sandwiches. All the entrees are reasonably priced. I decided to try out a steak and rib-lets combo. I was expecting a combo entree to have pretty small portions. But to my surprise it's actually a very good size and I wasn't even able to finish it all. It came with mashed potations and veggies as well. Being Grilled cooked is always a little burnt for my liking but it was cook just the way I like it. The service was fast and friendly as well. Lots of people was there for birthdays. We knew since the staff all came to their tables and sang happy birthday. It's a fun environment that every one enjoys. We'll probably go back for one of our birthdays."

"Good but Plain"
Image

Save Review

June 2010 — "A very casual family restaurant with both booths and tables in a home-style and woodsy type setting. They did have very nice drop-down stained glass lamps at most tables which was unique. The parking was very crowded along a strip mall type set up with customers from coffee shops, other restaurants and movie theatres all competing for parking. It was quite busy and the open design of the restaurant caused it to be very loud, making it difficult to hear the conversation at my own table. The restaurant was clean and there was a good selection on the menu to choose from. They also have some specific low calorie entrees as options for those people watching their intake or following a diet program. The prices were decent but the food was nothing special and tasted quite average. The service was appropriate and the food didn’t take too long. No problems with the taste or temperature of the food. I wouldn’t be overly eager to return to this restaurant again, it felt too plain. "

"Taken With A Grain of Salt"

August 2009 — "I had never been to an Applebees before. I liked the ambiance in that the lighting was subdued and almost every table had their own stained glass type lamp overhead. Although the place was packed, the din of conversation was nicely dampened by the design of the room. It was nice to be able to converse without competing with strangers. I ordered the Mexican Lime Fiesta Chicken. ($14) At first, it tasted delicious, but after a few mouthfuls it became apparent that it was extremely salty. Even if I had been drinking beer it would have been overwhelming. I am talking A LOT of salt! I couldn't continue to eat it and I explained the problem to my server. They were very good about it and offered to replace my dish with another entree, or take the meal off my bill. I opted for the latter. I have no idea if this is standard fare at Applebees, but it really was not a good taste experience for me. "

"Going downhill!!"

Save Review

November 2006 — "Applebees has been the restaurant I go to when I can’t think of anywhere else to go, so I have been here quite a few times. I’ve kept going back because I like the food but my last two or three visits have been progressively worse and I doubt I’ll be back! During my last visit, the tables, chairs and floor were filthy; I received my order long after everyone at my table; my food was cold; and the service was terrible! Being busy is no excuse to provide bad food and service. I thought I could give them a chance to improve but after that third consecutive bad experience, I will not be back. "

"BAD BAD SERVICE & NOT GREAT FOOD"

Save Review

September 2006 — "I realize that there are presently lots of jobs in this city and businesses are having a hard time retaining employees but Applebee’s HAS GOT to get rid of some of their staff. We went there, were seated, waited and waited.... Finally some other customers were seated and a table behind us and were asked what they wanted to drink immediately I though for sure that we would then be noticed and asked as well, but nothing. It took me going up to the front desk and waiting (almost 5 minutes) for someone to notice me and then I asked if we could be served. We finally were asked if we'd like anything to drink and ordered our food (which was only appetizers) at the same time. It took another 20 minutes to get our food and it was then cold. I know of people who like this place but would like them to explain to me why as I never get good service there.... go back as I am convinced by someone that they had great service ane food the last time they were there I go hoping for the best but am again disappointed.

"Awful"

Save Review

January 2006 — "Not good. I go hear when with ball teams, thats it. This is only because they have a big patio Greasy food, Everything on the menu is deep fried. The place is dirty and feels like a teenagers basement room. If you go here, stick to drinking beer and go get some takeout on the way home. Ive been there 1/2 dozen times in the past 5 years, it never changes. O,,, and if its your birthday never tell them. They will sing to you and then hit you in the face with a plate full of whipped cream. NO LIE.. I saw a woman storm out crying after they did this. I cant belive that this is even legal. Someone should take this place down for doing that."
