⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Applebee’s Clifton, NJ – Outstanding Service at the Bar We had an excellent experience at the Applebee’s in Clifton. We sat at the bar to eat and have a few drinks, and Darwin was absolutely amazing. Even while managing a full bar and a busy dining area, he never missed a beat. His attention, professionalism, and genuine personality made the whole visit feel effortless. Darwin went above and beyond the entire time — great recommendations, quick service, and a level of care you don’t always see when a place is packed. He’s the kind of bartender who makes you want to come back. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Darwin. He truly made our visit exceptional.

We live in Jersey City closer to Applebee's in 440 and north bergen yet we love the clifton location and have been coming here for years. It does not get better than this. The place is clean, atmosphere is great. We are always greeted with a big smile from JANCARLOS which is very nice. Now the service.... wow... we absolutely love love FELIPE!!! Applebee's has great waiters but FELIPE is amazing. His attention to detail is always on point. Out of this world. In addition, his charisma is on a whole other level.. my husband, momma and mostly kids do not want anyone else and it doesnt matter how long the wait, when you have excellent service like he provides. So if you want great food and the best service ask for FELIPE! Hes the man! 😁but not on the days my family comes.. dont want to wait th

I haven't been here in probably 7 years cuz its just always mediocre. I love the chicken wonton tacos though so I figured I'd come get those. It's a Tuesday night pretty empty parking lot and it's 7 pm. I asked for a booth and there's so many available. The person seating says they are for larger parties even tho the ones occupied have 2 people in them. We are 2 people he says they've been here since the morning.... what.... its 7 pm. So we end up settling for this tiny little table in the darkest area of the restaurant. I enjoy a dim light but the lights might as well be off cuz I have to use my flashlight to see this menu even with my glasses on. Then the host walks 2 people over to the booth that I asked for amd then 4 more times while we were there which is weird and rude as hell. An

Miguel Berru is hands down one of the best bartenders at Applebee’s. From the moment you sit at the bar, he makes you feel welcome and taken care of. His energy is great, he’s attentive without being overbearing, and he really knows his drinks. Whether it’s a classic cocktail or something off the menu, he makes it perfectly every time. He keeps the bar running smoothly even when it’s busy and still takes the time to check in and make sure you’re good. If you’re at Applebee’s, definitely sit at Miguel’s bar you won’t be disappointed.
