Great service I always eat at the bar and the service is quick. Food is cooked and prepared well. Bartenders are friendly.

This Applebee’s is mediocre. The service isn’t the best and for some reason it’s never clean. Everytime I have gone to this location theres wrappers & napkins on the floor and the tables are oddly sticky. This location seems to attract a younger crowd, and it tends to get rowdy on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm. Normally I wouldn’t mind a young crowd, but when underage teens are flirting with the waitresses and trying to buy alcohol it could get aggravating to hear that while I’m trying to enjoy my meal. And the spitballs that are being flung from table to table isn’t appealing to me. As for the service… very slow and it seems like it takes ages to order another drink or get anything in a timely fashion. The food is mediocre. Sometimes it’s decent, other times it’s a disaster. Also, don’t bother ordering alcoholic beverages here, yes they don’t charge much… and that’s how they get you. The drinks are very weak. Overall I would rethink going to this Applebee’s location.

I got an Applebees gift card for Christmas and my daughter got a coupon for a free sundae for some achievement at school so we went there tonight. I’ll preface this review by saying that a couple of weeks ago I’d seen a commercial on TV for all You can eat enchiladas for $ 9.99 and I THOUGHT it was an Applebees commercial so I went into the one in Bohemia & asked the host«do you have all you can eat enchiladas for $ 9.99?» He didn’t know so he grabbed a passing waiter and asked him«Yeah! We have that!» The waiter chirped enthusiastically. So I sat down and when the waitress came by, that was what I ordered. But SHE said they don’t have that so I left, kind of annoyed. My mistake it turned out to be Chili’s running that promotion. So back to tonight. Server was friendly. Food was delicious(I got the steak and onion with potato which was altogether 600 calories. .and no, I wasn’t trying to count calories the night I was chasing the all You can eat enchiladas). My problem with Applebees tonight was related to the ipad tablets they have on the table now. It has the menu on it and you can order straight from the tablet without having to be inconvenienced by waiting an additional 30 seconds for your server to come around. According to John Tesh, the restaurants are having these now because people subconsciously order more food when they don’t have to do it to a human being. When they can hide behind a tablet they tend to pile on the apps and the fatty foods rather than saying oh I’ll just take a salad with the dressing on the side, trying to look cute in front of a person. Kind of like how when I go to Subway sometimes if the sandwich artist is not very attractive I’ll get a footlong but if they are cute then I will be coy about it and just get a six inch even though I’m still hungry and when I’m done. So my 7 year old daughter was playing with the tablet which I saw no harm in, and she said ooh! there’s games on this! And she started to play the games, which was fine with me because they seem to be just something to keep the kids occupied while waiting for their food just like how they have the coloring page & the crayons. So I let her play the games on there. Well… When the bill came there was an extra $ 2 on it for playing with the games on the on the tablet. That is complete BULLSHIT. They should not charge for that but if they’re going to they should warn customers that the games are not free.

I met a number of colleagues here for lunch. We were immediately greeted at the door and seated promptly. Our server, as a bit passive aggressive, which I found someone odd. She was nice and attentive when it came to our drink and food orders. So the service was good but nothing like«OMG, she’s the best server I’ve ever had and should be training other servers at AppleBee’s corporate office». I say this because when she brought the check, she was trying to push us to give her all«Strongly Agree» on the survey and in doing so, she would be entered to win a $ 100 gift card. Umm, I didn’t even know what to say. Anyway, i don’t want to let that one moment at the end of the meal take over this review. Ordered a salad and decided on one of the pub dishes, 9oz Grilled Onion Sirlion with Stout Gravy, for the main course. Both were good and we enjoyed our meals. I wouldn’t recommend the Rebel Rouser beer though. That’s just not my thing.

It’s really give or take with this location. Some times we get fantastic service, other times we get a waitress who waits a half hour to take our order and refuses to bring our change from our bill back. You really never know.

I recently went here with a group of friends and it was a good experience overall. We came here for half apps at 10:00PM and we got mostly appetizers like the nachos the Boneless and on the bone chicken wings. But I got the full rack of baby back ribs and they were very good. The waiter was very fast and got us our food on time. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and there are many different tvs to watch different sporting events. Overall it was a good time.

I have not eaten at Applebee’s in such a long time. I stopped by this location for lunch today and had the BEST experience I ever had at a chain resteraunt. I walked on the door and was greeted by the manager and hostess with great big smiles and welcoming personality. I was seated swiftly and served immediately. The waitress took my order and offered her advice when I couldn’t chose what I wanted. I also ordered something to go and I didn’t even have to ask for it they wrapped it up and brought it with the bill. It was very refreshing to have such great service and delicious food. Felt great! Hats off to this Applebee’s team! Thank you.

Shouldn’t every neighborhood have a bar and grill? Fortunately for those lacking, the good people at Applebee’s marketing department fill the void. The deeply existential search for community ends as soon as you enter. And based on what I’ve seen during my few stops at this particular Applebee’s, the neighborhood, especially the indigenous teenager, are socializing, eating and drinking here.(Not necessarily alcohol for the under-aged of course) I must confess that my sole purpose at stopping at this particular Applebee’s is that it makes for an ideal pit stop half way from my point of origin to the final destination in Amagansett/Montauk. And unlike plenty of non-chain mom and pop artisinal buzz word embracing eateries, not once have I had anything but attentive, downright friendly service. Teenagers seem to flock here in droves but they apparently work here too. And the ones that work here smile! Yes, they flash the pearly whites, they speak clearly and bring me what I order in a timely manner. For all I know there may be not a drop of sincerity to everything I have described but the illusion is certainly there. As an occupant of the metropolis, where bathroom cleanliness ranks from dirty to filthy to pornographically obscene, this Applebee’s is next to godliness. It’s amazing what a distance of 20+ miles outside of Manhattan can accomplish. Of course, the astute observer realizes I have dropped not a single word about the food in this review. I did once enjoy a steak here and was shocked by the presence of char. The potential to add thousands of calories to your diet can be realized from appetizers to dessert. The health conscious can opt for the«Weight Watchers» menu items. I did this once and will likely not do so again not from any flaw in the dish but because there’s something a bit unholy about entering an Applebee’s and not ordering at least one pig out friendly dish. (Perhaps if I was a regular who lived in the neighborhood and this was truly my neighborhood bar and grill I would be more likely to eat healthier.) As a visitor, however, I’ll stick to the dips, wings, quesadillas and other modern American comfort foods that are the specialty here. You don’t go to a steak house for fish and you don’t go to Applebee’s to count calories. Non-hateful service, a non-vile bathroom and a road trip break location give this establishment three stars.

Applebee’s is just another run of the mill, ordinary, franchised restaurant. Among these types of restaurants(Fridays, Chili’s, Ruby Tuesday’s), I think Applebee’s is one of the worst. However, I do come here sometimes because the location is convenient for me. The burgers are pretty good. The fries could be better. The Appetizer sampling trio is a ripoff. I ordered that for lunch one day. $ 15.99 for 2 small sliders, mozzarella sticks, and a few boneless wings? Should be closer to ten bucks, especially since the boneless wings were not that good and did not come with blue cheese or anything. Mozz sticks could have been cooked for another minute. Service is ok, but a bit slow. I like the fact that they have Pepsi, not Coke.

Okay so I’ve been to Applebees’ a hundred times, but this time in particular my boyfriend and I had a server names Seth who was super friendly and fast! Haha. He made sure everything was good after it came out and was on too of our drinks to make sure we were never wanting! Although the food is almost always mediocre I really enjoyed the service I’ve received this time around. Thanks Seth!

This is probably the third time I’ve visited and ate at this restaurant, and it was as bad as the last time. Service: Was really great; I was surprised. 5⁄5 stars. Mood: this was the first time I’ve ever ate near a bar, and it was really obnoxious. There were people yelling, cursing, and laughing very loudly. I think one of the staff may have even done this too. 2⁄5 stars. Food: All of our(three in total) meals were asked to be well done. Parts of our meals were medium-rare, even at times rare. We hypothesized that they were rushing the cooking, because my burger was only medium-rare at some of the edges. As I have seen worse before, I rate the food at 4⁄5 stars.

I can only speak for Fridays, but Nicole and Ria are the best bartenders ever! That dynamic duo is great at remembering what the common patrons drink, eat, and what’s going on in their lives, which makes the conversation seem much better than idle bar chatter. You should know what to expect food-wise, but their demeanor and courtesy make this Applebees enjoyable.

Well I won’t review the food. it’s Applebee’s. The food came from a freezer at some point in a land far far away and mace it to your plate. The bar tender Dave was really nice though and it was 2 for one beers. 3 stars for effort and being the only place open.

The food is average but I will say that the staff was very friendly to us. I’m not sure if that had to do with when we came in or what but they were nicer than I’ve seen at some chain places. I do also like that they have smaller versions of their desserts & will let you get a half sized salad.

As many people say, it’s Applebee’s. You only go when there’s no place else to go or you’re broke and need to save money. The food’s ok, but nothing spectacular.

It’s Applebee’s. We all know it’s half price apps and twofers after 10. So we went there. The quesadillas were good, the extra-spicy wings we requested were not edible. Too much pepper. I’m used to spicy food, don’t get me wrong, but when you put enough pepper to feed a small village, it becomes a problem. So we sent them back(something I HATE doing) and got(still very spicy) but also very good wings. Moral of this story, if you go to the ‘bees in Bohemia, don’t request SUPERDUPER spicy.

Neighborhood grill. I was out to pick up someone at the airport and had a little time to kill — so I popped in even though I dread these kinds of restaurants. The bar was hopping but I scored a seat right away. The bartender I got was outstanding– she should be at a better place. She was right there with the drinks and the menu and a big smile. The other bartender working with her must have had like 40 red bulls before she got there– and apparently all that caffiene is directly transmitted to her jaw because she Did.Not.Shut.The.Fuck.Up the entire time I was there. blah blah blah my daughter this, blah blah blah, I’m going to shop on black Friday that… I was ready to stick a fork on my jugular and end it all right there. Aside from that constant stream of noise, the food was your basic Applebees offering — nothing to crow about and laden with salt and calories. I had my 2 beers and a snack and got the hell out of there. Big but maze like parking lot.
