Applebee’s is one of those restaurants where you hear the name often but don’t really pay much attention to. Went here on a whim because neither of us had tried it ever. They seemed a bit understaffed as our server was also the bartender and she was running back and forth from the bar to various tables. Nothing really wowed me on the menu so I opted for soup, salad and garlic toast trio. Choice of any of their soups and salads. Food came out pretty quick. Tasting wise, it was okay but I also didn’t order anything fancy either. It’s an average place. Nothing wowed me but it wasn’t terrible either. I do like that they have a calorie wise menu for all the health conscious eaters.

Pretty good menu, great service and good décor… I actually said décor, what the hell man? Food was really good, steak was cooked exactly as requested and everyone enjoyed the meal. Wouldn’t go out of my way, but if in the area it deserves a return.

Applebee’s is really not my first choice for food but it was late and it was on the way home so we stopped by to pick up some food to go. The customer service is great! Everyone greeted us Upon entering. The bartender who places out order was honest, attentive and funny. Different staff members gave us their opinions on he menu. There was an overall good vibe at Applebee’s like the employees actually get along and like their job. In terms of food I would say it was averse chain food nothing tasted horrible but nothing was absolutely delicious. I had the Cajun pasta and also then seasoning wasn’t bad I found the pasta a bit on the dry side. Not sure if they use a Cajun seasoning base and toss it with pasta, olive oil and tomatoes? I thought the pasta could benefit from some tomato or Alfredo sauce. My boyfriend had the grilled chicken, breaded shrimp with green beens and roasted potatoes. It was ok, the shrimp was tossed in a sauce that was a bit to sweet for me but the green beans were seasoned well and not overcooked. Overall Applebee’s is a last resort for me but I really like the staff. They had a cool drink menu. Maybe it would be low key place to come and have a few drinks at the bar with a friend and talk.

First time dining at Applebee’s and will never eat here again. Menu was very pricey compared to its competitors. I liked that the menu has an ‘under 550 calories’ page where you can select dishes that are calorie-wise. I opted for a healthy grilled chicken and shrimps entrée and quite enjoyed it although the portion was a bit minimal. Understandable in trying to stay calorie-wise but I think they may have taken advantage of that a bit… We were dissatisfied with the service as it appeared a bit pushy and inattentive. Felt like she was trying to push appetizers and dessert on us although it makes sense… their policy is if the servers don’t suggest an appetizer, you earn a free one. Anyway, she seemed ‘disappointed’ that we didn’t want anything besides our entrees. Sorry but we are trying to be health-conscious. Our water glasses were also not tended to at all and our appetizer plates were left behind, occupying a good amount of space on our tables. Overall, a very pricey bill for a mediocre experience. See ya Applebee’s…so long!

Went back to Applebee’s after a very long time. Think it’s been years! They have an excellent priced new menu. Last night I ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken and my friend ordered a Prolonged Cheese stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine. And we got the Spinach Dip appetizer with Nachos. All that for $ 25! And for this special there are other choices. You pick 2 entrees and one appetizer. Let me tell you… the chicken tastes sooo juicy and good! You can get a double portion of chicken for only $ 3 more! They have an all you can eat Rib-Let or All you can eat Prolonged Cheese stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine for $ 10! Are the prices amazing or what? There are many many more deals. I can’t remember them all lol. And the food is grrrrreat!

The won ton tacos are great, the orange spicy chicken was disgusting, the margarita shrimp was out of this world good. Decent service, sub-par food for the most part. Really greasy.

I used to love Applebees, I couldn’t go wrong ordering a mucho mudslide and anything involving chicken and their magic honey sauce. But it seems that chicken meal has disappeared from the menu, their mucho mudslide tastes more like ice than a milkshake, and their appetizers are all disappointing. The only thing they still make that tastes good are their riblets.
