The only thing more overrated than this restaurant, are the pies everyone keeps pretending are good. My apple pie and the lemon meringue pie the person with me ordered, tasted like something from a gas station display case - bad crust and awful flavor. Neither of us could finish them. The food was bland and the low-quality ingredients were noticeable right away. Some dishes arrived on plastic plates and others on stoneware, creating an odd and inconsistent presentation. This place survives because it's in a tiny town with limited choices - not because the food deserves praise. And after reviewing the restaurant's track record of negative findings from health inspectors overtime, this only adds to our overall dissatisfaction. read more

Love me a classic American breakfast. Their apple cake? was so good. I smothered it with butter too. Staff was nice and friendly. A fun little family vibe that you can find near the freeway. read more

Won't be the first or the last time as a minority treated with racism at a restaurant. Everyone dining in today 06/28/25 was the same color as my MIL, the server skinny white chic kept checking on all the tables around us but skipping us every single time. She would not make eye contact or check in on us. Food was okay and I probably would have come back again, the owners look Mexican which look like nice people as I saw them interact with several customers, but their employee totally ignored us our whole time dining in. There was also another girl waiting on us, she looked Hispanic w black hair and she went MIA after she brought our food to us. The restaurant looks like an old school diner, my MIL had mentioned she visited frequently in the 70s. We lived in Tulare county for a while and would visit Tulare/Visalia area a lot but never visited Apple Annie's. This was my first and last time coming. 90% of the time I would rather eat at home, but if we're in the mood we like to check out places we haven't visited. Today was super unfortunate and I haven't felt this kind of racism in a long time, but I do know it's not the last time either, I almost brought my 81yr old mom with us too, I'm glad she didn't come. If you have never visited, you're not missing out, just go to IHOP or Denny's. I would not recommend this restaurant to any minority. Even my husband who is half white felt it and my son who's 1/4 white also felt it. read more

Apple Annie's is one of our go to places when we're traveling. They serve comfort food, traditional dinner items, and a little variety of Mexican food. There's always someone friendly and warm to greet you and to take your order. We haven't had a bad meal in all the times we've stopped there over the years. This day we ordered the French burger, one of the daily specials, to the eye, it seemed kinda small probably because it was cut in half. The patty was cooked just right the only thing was it kept sliding out of the bread. The decor is definitely a collectors and kids paradise with so many fun things to look at. You definitely want to leave room for a piece of pie or take a slice to go. The place can be a little chilly so be sure to cover up a bit if you tend to be cold. read more

Apple Annie's is a must stop place to eat along hwy 99 in Tulare. This restaurant is so cute. We love driving the extra hour every so often to eat there. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is always great. The service is outstanding. And something you hardly see is the manager walking around helping out where needed because they are so busy. From busting a table to serving a table with a smile. Everyone is always friendly. The heaping over the plate. Your never gets empty and every employee asks you "how are you? Can I get you anything"? By far the best service. read more

I've promised myself to stop here for years and I finally did on a trip to Visalia. The decor is severely dated and the chairs are almost all wobbly and cracked but the food is amazing. All three of us ordered burgers and they were juicy and perfectly cooked. The onion rings were pretty good. I wasn't blown away but they were crunchy and fresh. We ordered desert and everyone really enjoyed it. Mom got a lemon merengue pie, dad got a slice of apple pie with ice cream and my best friend and I split the apple pie burrito. My only critique on the burrito is that it wasn't fried long enough to really be crispy. The filling was superb but the tortilla was very tough and hard to cut. Over all I really enjoyed my meal here and I will be back! Also, our waitress was a peach! She was attentive and so nice! read more

We had the prime rib special with all the fixings! It was cooked to perfection and well worth the 22.00 price tag! Laurie was our server and she took excellent care of us. Yes, the booths were a little worn but that wasn't a big deal. Would recommend trying this place out when in the area! read more

Very good slice of pie to go. Prices are pretty expensive but overall tasty treat! I think the cost was about $10 for one pie slice to go.

Great selection of Omelette's, Burgers, Sandwiches and Salads. Fresh specials every day. The service is always attentive and the restaurant layout is nice, with booths and tables. I'd highly recommend Apple Annie's. read more

Delicious food and quick service. I love their pies, biscuits and gravy and all of the dinner items.

We went to an early dinner and got very good service. One of the dishes that my wife and I enjoy is liver and onions. Not too many restaurants in town off this delicacy. One thing to be aware of is that a baked potato isn't available until after 4:00pm. The restaurant is never too noisy and the staff is always attentive. read more

The Messi Mary or Mary's mess is definitely just that but so good! At first, I thought I could make it at home, but not really lol

Great food and service. We had multiple refills and our waiters were very attentive. They got my sisters order wrong but I think it was an honest mistake. The menu is also very large and hard to choose from. read more

My 5 rating is for what this is - an old fashioned family restaurant. If you're looking for an upscale experience, go somewhere else, but this is homestyle food like you used to get. The menu has a fair amount of variety, from breakfast to dinner. I had the grilled chicken taco salad. It was very good, but be forewarned if that's something you might be interested in - there are three different items on the menu that are all similar, and both we and our server all had a little confusion. This is Tulare's long-standing home for comfort food. read more

Big selection of breakfast option plus a lunch/dinner menu and dessert!! The omelets come with choice of a large homemade muffin or other bread option and potatoes or fruit. And giving homage to their namesake, plenty of homemade apple desserts on the menu too!! Reminds me of a country homestyle restaurant with a train that circles the ceiling. They also have a pretty patio for outside dining. The service was phenomenal!! And the kids were all smiles with the mini arcade. read more

If you've ever driven northbound on the 99, then you've likely seen a billboard for Apple Annie's. I've finally found myself making a pit stop at Tulare for lunch. Apple Annie's has a vintage ambiance. There's a couple life size dolls standing around to greet you. They serve both American and Mexican dishes along with a variety of apple desserts. The lunch hour was pretty busy, so the wait time was to be expected. I ordered the chicken marsala along with a side salad. It was cooked perfectly! The mushrooms were soft and thin while the chicken was tender and juicy. I didn't have any room for dessert because my meal was so filling. This is a restaurant that you must try if you're in the area. read more

Apple Annie's is a long time restaurant in my hometown. Apple Annies is favorite of locals and convenient for travelers staying at local hotels. We came for breakfast at the request of a family member and I wasn't sure what to expect since I probably hadn't been there for probably 40 years. All I know is that the parking lot is always full every day of the week. The restaurant is clean and in great condition for its age. I decided on the New York Steak and Eggs for my breakfast. Our server was very helpful and patient with our elderly mother. The five meals were served quickly, hot and lacking any sort of flavor. The steaks were tough and the coffee was weak. I probably should have stayed with a breakfast entree. Overall, I enjoyed myself with the fam and the exceptional service. Three Stars for lack of flavor. read more

First time trying this place with my parents. Not only did we feel uncomfortable. Felt like racism since we were Hispanics. Not only did they ignore us every time we asked for something & never bring the items we asked for but also skip our table. Food was ok , definitely will never come back after this experience. read more

Been driving by the sign for way too many years, food is really good. Fairly well priced considering competitors . But freshly made with friendly staff a plus ultra. Clean restrooms , clean everything. Recommended for travelers going through on 99N. Enjoy read more

Apple Annie's - Chicken fried chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tulare, California

We were driving back home from our weekend in Yosemite and started to think of a good place to stop for lunch. We saw the Apple Annie's billboard and said. Why not! It was just as I expected it to be. Cozy non pretentious road diner. Clean with very kind and friendly staff. The place was full of kitschy vintage memorabilia and a cute motorized train that went around the restaurant. We split the fried chicken meal because we knew it would be a huge portion. We were right. The fried chicken isn't what you'd expect. It's better than you can ever imagine. It was a flattened chicken breast that was breaded and fried served with a thick yummy chicken country gravy and mashed potatoes. Wow! We were thinking about how we were so glad we saw the sign and decided to eat there. This will def be a stop for us on our way up north for future trips. The coffee wasn't great. Most places have bad coffee but it's because they skimp on the grounds. Please don't cheat on the grounds. Coffee is best when it's nice and rich with flavor. Not watered down coffee flavored water. read more

Every time you go the food is amazing the service is prompt. You feel like you are eating at home, with much better food

I finally tried this restaurant after working in the area several years in a row. Complete letdown. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu. It was an unseasoned chicken breast with a ham slice and cheese slice on top with some weird hollandaise sauce. Bland rice pilaf. The string beans were actually good with nice flavor which is why I'm leaving 2 stars instead of one. The price for a meal where the only thing I could eat were the string beans? Almost $30!!!! Extremely overpriced for subpar food. read more

What's more cliche than finding a down home diner that serves fresh baked apple pie as you're road tripping to a CA national forest?! Stopped at Apple Annie's because it was a mark to check off on the list and boy was that mark deserving. Came in for 3 slices of pie. 3 slices, yes. And the 3 were all different. Apple. Banana Cream and Pecan. The apple pie was gooey, warm with just the right amount of sweet & tart. Crust was perfect to the bite. The cute diner was filled with what I assume to be nostalgic Apple Annie memorabilia... definitely a locals place but welcoming to travelers near and far. Warmly greeted and quickly served. read more

We love to stop here for breakfast or lunch on the way to Yosemite or Sequoia. The food is always tasty, the service friendly and the place is fun and quirky. It brings a smile to our faces every time. It's pretty cool that a little restaurant can create such fond memories. And because they're right off the freeway in in Tulare, it's easy to get in, relax and enjoy and get back on the road. Apple Annie's is always a fun anticipated part of the camping trip.

Great food and service. Got the biscuits and gravy good portion sizes. A must when we visit Tulare.

I was so excited to try this place, as the reviews were pretty good and their reputation for their desserts supersede them. I walk in and the decor totally matches what you would think an Apple Annie's should look like. The service started out great, but by the time it was ready to go, I had to ask for a box twice and my check 3 times. The food was mediocre at best. I got a piece of coconut cream pie to go. It didn't even have real whipped cream on it. The country gravy tasted like it came out of a can. My experience wasn't terrible, just very underwhelming and far from what I was expecting. read more

Great food, great service. A nice pits top on our trip! Might become a regular thing as we travel to that area once a year.

Food was okay, the waffle was dry, cold, and hard to even cut. As for the omelette, we asked for avocado but it was cooked inside the omelette which we thought was kind of weird since the avocado was hot and a bit slimy due to the warmth. Biscuits and gravy were very good. I honestly would come back and give this place a try again. They had many options and the servers were very nice and attentive to us, so it could have been because they were very busy this morning. The restaurant is pretty big; they have 2 dining areas and a patio area as well. I'm hoping to have better food next time. read more
