Applebee's Grill + Bar

I pretty much never write reviews, but this place, found so randomly, made my day on my way to Niagara Falls. I ordered a beef steak, the most expensive one, which is actually really not expensive, maybe 24 dollars. From the very first bite, this beef steak was pure perfection - tender, juicy, and bursting with rich, savory flavor. The sear on the outside was beautifully caramelized, creating that satisfying crust that locks in every drop of flavor. Inside, the meat was cooked exactly as I like - a little bit red in the middle as it is supposed to be for a medium rare steak. The mashed potatoes on the side were smooth and creamy, whipped to a light, velvety texture with just the right amount of butter and seasoning. They balanced the richness of the steak perfectly, soaking up the juice

Sade was an absolutely amazing server and truly made our entire dining experience memorable from the moment we arrived. From the start, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming attitude that immediately set a positive tone for the meal. It is always refreshing to encounter someone who genuinely seems to enjoy their job, and Sade clearly takes pride in providing excellent service. Her friendly personality and professional demeanor stood out right away and made us feel comfortable and appreciated as guests. Throughout the entire meal, Sade was incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. She made sure that we had everything we needed, checking in at just the right moments to ensure that our food, drinks, and overall experience were going well. It is not always easy to find the perfect

The food was decent overall. However, my friend found an eyelash in her appetizer, which was concerning. When we brought this to management’s attention, the response was disappointing. The manager, Freness Martinez, implied that the eyelash may have been intentionally placed there, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. While issues can happen, the way they are handled matters, and this experience fell short of expectations.

Never had a bad experience here until tonight 9pm. One beer keg out, other one was flat and warm. Food, waited at least 30 mins at the bar. Cadillac margarita, nope they didn’t know how to make it. Sxxxxx put in her two weeks and didn’t give a dam, just talking up her friends. Jaylen was attentive - busy cleaning and learning how to make drinks. Good luck to you mate. Absolutely insane experience for a simple bar meal.

Tonight, my table had Sade as our server and I have never had a better time at a restaurant. Automatically, she had a great mood when approaching our table and was able to joke around with us when talking so that her coming in to get our orders were more natural. You know that feeling when you're in the midst of a conversation and the server comes to ask for your order at the worst time? This was the opposite of that feeling. Sade never felt like an interruption, but felt like a temporary new conversation and genuinely made everyone at our table smile. She also answered our questions with zero judgement and when she came to check on our table, it was always a temporary welcome because she would reference something from earlier when taking our order and everything flowed smoothly.
