What can I say? It’s Applebee’s, but honestly, this location surprised me in the best way. Our server was wonderful and super attentive. This was actually my first time ordering a salad here, and I’ve gotta say… it was really good! Fresh, tasty, and very affordable. The restaurant was busy (it always seems packed when I come, but in a good, lively way, lots of people enjoying themselves), and even with a full crowd, the service didn’t miss a beat. We came as a big group and everyone got their food on time, enjoyed their meals, and we had constant refills without even having to ask. That alone gets points from me! The place is clean, the atmosphere feels welcoming, and even the bathroom was clean, which says a lot. For a casual meal out, especially with friends or family, this Applebee’s

We as Veterans were treated like royalty from the moment we walked in. Staff told us, “thank you for your service”, and there was a table set up to honor fallen soldiers. Zia, our server, was just delightful and gave great service. Vito the manager checked to make sure everything was good, and both our steaks were delicious and perfectly done. Thank you, Applebees, for honoring Veterans with a free meal on Veterans Day!!

The ambiance is lovely and very cozy, which we really enjoyed. However, the food was disappointing. * My partner had the salad and loved it. * I ordered the chicken, shrimp, and mashed potatoes. The sauce was too salty and hard to finish. It had onions in it, which would have been nice, but it was mixed with the overly salty sauce, making it difficult to eat. * The cocktails were tasty and served in huge glasses. * We also had popcorn chicken as an appetizer, and that was delicious. Overall, it was a good experience, mainly due to the setting.

I always order from this Applebees but today I notice how bad the quality has gotten. All the lettuce and tomatoes in the burger old and soggy. I had to remove them from all 4 burgers I ordered. The fries were old and stale, as if they were just warmed up to put in the order. My children love fries but they didn’t even want to eat half of them. The bun seemed to be stale as well. The burgers were dry. I was extremely disappointed.

Review: Applebee’s Came Through Thanks to (Pretty Sure Her Name Was) Stephanie Stopped by Applebee’s the other night expecting a regular chain-restaurant situation, but honestly? The real MVP was the server — I think her name was Stephanie. If it wasn’t, someone in there is definitely giving off strong Stephanie energy, because she crushed it. She was quick, on top of everything, and actually seemed to care. Drinks stayed full, food came out hot, and she handled the whole table like a pro. No attitude, no disappearing act, none of that “I’ll be right back” then vanishing into a black hole. Just solid, reliable service that made the whole meal smoother. Food was classic Applebee’s: good, predictable, hits the spot when you’re hungry. But the service? That’s what made it feel like a bette
