I recently went to Applebee’s with five friends for dinner and drinks, and we all had an amazing time. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable—perfect for catching up and laughing together. Our server was friendly, attentive, and right on time with everything. The food came out hot, flavorful, and well-presented, and the drinks were mixed just right. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy great conversation, and feel genuinely welcomed. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend Applebee’s for anyone looking for good food, great service, and a laid-back vibe.

I waited to be seated with my children. There was two other small groups waiting, a total of 3 people. The bartender that was working walked past us a few times without even acknowledging we were there and she definitely saw us. I asked her if anyone was going to come up to seat any of us. And she said "I'm sorry I dont know." Terrible customer service.

Waitress was fine. They were cleaning the men's bathroom & talking about it while we were trying to eat. The door was open & they were sweeping it out. Not a pleasant 😕 thing while eating. Some employees were cussing, asking to go home. Our Waitress was really working hard with a smile.

First of all, we were all given a single UNWRAPPED fork for cutlery sat down on the most likely unwashed table. Waited 15 minutes for a drink and service was terrible. Long wait times and just unprofessional. I’ve had several unprofessional experiences here. Not to mention the guy giving out silverware barehanded scrubbed the floor with no gloves and gave another group of people unwrapped silverware. And it was EXTREMELY overpriced for the quality of food/service. This place definitely isn’t want it used to be.

Absolutely disgusting food. The chicken Alfredo was probably the worst I've ever had. We came in with a party of 8 and all of the food was bad. Burgers were over cooked, pasted was over cooked and mushy but dry at the same time, the chicken was incredibly dry and burned. Deliveries were prioritized over dine in orders. Took 45 min to get our food and it was not busy at all. We have had some less than ideal experiences here every now and then but this was just gross and took a ridiculous amount of time. Our server, Dylan, did a good job. It was not his fault the kitchen couldn't get their act together.
