Our waitress was super nice and very talkative so that kept the vibes up ! The food was solid and didn't take long to come out for a Friday night! The establishment was pretty well maintained. Overall very solid read more

On a Saturday evening, the service was spotty and slow. My party of 4 arrived at 5:45pm and finally paid our bill at 7:15. It took over an hour for me to receive my burger and fries. While the food was good, the service just wasn't there. Our server brought out appetizers after a while, two soups were brought out, but the two burgers took forever. The restaurant itself seemed to have a good mix of patrons, but I noticed several women exiting the restroom were using table napkins to dry their hands. Eventually, I ventured into the men's room and immediately noticed some white powder sprinkled all over the floor. The paper towel dispenser was not working, but someone was thoughtful enough to leave a large roll of paper for patrons to use. Several waitresses stopped by to assist with getting our food and said they would notify the manager, but the manager never stopped by out table. Honestly, I can not recommend this restaurant, based upon the poor service we experienced. read more

I was frozen in place by the sheer coldness inside the restaurant and the employees had to get a hammer and drill to tear me apart from the floor :) thank you so much! the no-bones wiggies were delightful along with the wontoes tacos however the pickle tickle fries were too salty, thanksfully the food was at least warm (unlike the last time) and the waitress was nice, a little confusing buts thats to be expected with more than 15s of us! They should invest in some heaters especially during the winter but other than thats it was okay, I would've wents somewhere else read more

Such a good experience at this Applebees! We ordered the beer cheese pretzels which were delicious! A little salty and there wasn't as much cheese as they typically add, however, still delicious! Also ordered the three cheese chicken penne for my entree. The portion was a bit smaller than before, however, I haven't been to Applebees in awhile so I'm not sure if portions just changed in general. We were seated immediately and there was not a wait which was very nice, especially since we decided to go out to eat during busy dinner hours. Really enjoy the youthful vibe of this location as it is conveniently located right by Oakland university. read more

No one even acknowledged our presence for probably 20 minutes so we walked out. If I could give it zero Stars I would! This restaurant shouldn't even be operating according to all the bad reviews I've read! read more

Isabella made my Thursday night dinner here amazing! She was friendly, anticipated our needs, and went above and beyond. She surprised us with lots of cherries in the cherry Pepsi, brought extra chips for our dip, and offered to make me a surprise flavored lemonade, which was super good! Blue raspberry and mango. She's friendly and seems to be having so much fun at her job. I highly recommend requesting her as a server. The food at Applebees is always tasty and a great value! read more

I ordered the boneless garlic parmesan wings to go. Got home and the wings had no sauce at all. Just dried out, disgusting wings with no flavor and two pieces of celery. Ordered a glass of wine while I waited and it tasted like the bottle of wine had been cooled, then warmed, then cooled multiple times. It had a strong, bitter taste despite supposedly being a pilot grigio, which is a sweet wine. Service was the only good aspect. read more

We won a gift card for Applebee's in a drawing so we decided to use it at this location because it is the closest to our home. We have eaten at other Applebee's previously but not enough to be familiar with their menu. Our server, Mykah, took our drink orders and was very patient when we said we needed a few more minutes to look over the menu and ask questions. Yelpers can get a free appetizer with check in on the Yelp App; we chose a Chicken Quesadilla to split. We also ordered a bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup to split. My wife ordered a Grilled Shrimp Salad and I picked their Bourbon Bacon Cheeseburger that comes with Fries. By the time we decided and ordered our meals, the appetizer came out. It was served with small cups containing Salsa and Sour Cream. It was tasty and hit the spot although it was a bit saltier than we normally like, but worth trying. Just as we finished, the Tortilla Soup was next. It was also very good but also a bit saltier than we normally like. Then the Shrimp Salad and Burger were delivered. The Shrimp Salad was fresh with just the right amount of Vinaigrette and plenty of shrimp. My wife said she would definitely order it again. As for my Cheeseburger, it was tall and meaty, the Bourbon Sauce and Bacon really kicked it up another level; once I unhinged my jaw, I really enjoyed it. read more

Maria J.. she was not very good. She didn't come check on us as often as she should have for the restaurant and her not being busy. I'm in the food industry so I would understand if she was busy. But she wasn't. Took her forever to get to our table when we got sat. Had a bad look on her face when I asked her to take pasta off our bill bc it wasn't good. We only took two bites so it's not even like we ate most of it. She didn't take dirty dishes off our table when she would eventually come back. And she's training Savannah which I don't see a good idea as she's not the best at her job to begin with so she shouldn't have the power to train. Savannah was excellent tho! read more

I placed an online pick up order and my kids food wasnt too great. The fries were very salty and cold I wasnt even able to give them to my child. The mac & cheese was cold and had little to no sauce on it. I was very disappointed in the quality of my food I ordered :( read more

Three words: Ask. For. Izzy. I write this review with a full stomach, nice buzz, and extremely satisfactory experience. Today my family and I visited this Applebees location on a whim and ended up having one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. We were seated by Izzy in her section and immediately got the pleasure of being served by her. She was fun, attentive, kind and helpful. She supported my drink choice when I was unsure if it was the best option, double checked that a food item was vegetarian for me and was simply a fantastic server. My dad had a riot going back and forth with her with light hearted banter and my mom found her humor and quick wit absolutely hilarious. The drinks were amazing, food was delicious and atmosphere calm and relaxing (we went at 3:30ish). The only disappointment of the evening was learning that she has had a few tables walk out and not pay their tab. My family and I were shocked when we learned this because no one in their right mind would meet someone with so much light and actively choose to hurt them. All in all 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend going out of your way to this location and asking for her because she was seriously that good. Get this woman a raise!!! read more

Poor service. Warm drinks. Hair in the appetizer. I heard about this candy drink for St Patty's season... but didn't see a see advertisement for it. Bartender was unenthusiastic and presentation was mediocre. The drink was just okay. Good concept, that i would've really liked, but too many things wrong/mediocre with it. Spinach artichoke dip was unevenly warm (one bite was hot, one bite was cold), and there was a hair in it. The TVs were nice but the atmosphere was significantly louder than I anticipated. Definitely didn't get the "neighborhood" feel. I won't be back. read more

The worst experience ever. Had this long blonde hair in my salad and obviously lost our appetite and returned the soup & fries we had ordered as a side. The sever who was sweet called the manager Jammie. Jammie casually came over and said Oh! I am the only blonde here so it is my hair and probably fell off my coat. No sense of curtesy about how gross it is and now our whole dinner is messed up. Still charged us for the one appetizer which we ordered...we don't mind paying..but it is about lack of care and lack of customer service and being so dismissive of the fact how gross the whole thing was. Jammie honestly has no skills of being a good manager in a service industry and needless to say this was our first and last time going here. read more

I wish I could give half a star. Placed our order at 6:40pm, said pick up at 7pm and then we get there and didn't get our food until 7:40pm. The car side people never even came out. A whole line of cars and a whole line of people inside. The restaurant wasn't busy either. Step up y'all's game. Food was shitty and cold. read more

girl the food just nasty it's nasty asfc the garlic parmesan is melted butter the chicken alfredo nasty just nasty

I went to this applebees with my boyfriend a couple of days ago, our server was Roxy and she was absolutely wonderful, she always had a smile on her face, and she was very helpful. I absolutely loved this applebees, it was definitely one of the nicest applebees I have been. The food was excellent as well, the only downside to our trip was the hostes I believe. I did not catch her name but she was blonde was glasses and short, the whole time my boyfriend and I were there she kept giving us rude looks but we didn't let that ruin our experience. We will definitely be going back and asking for Roxy :) read more

Everything I write in this review is the 100% truth ( just a little side note ) so a lady named Mary, the bartender from the very second I walked in the door I knew she was going to be a problem, she yelled across the entire restaurant as I walked in the door to tell me "take out only" and I said "OK". As I sat at the bar to place my order I asked for a menu and I tell you no lie she tossed the menu at me as she was giving another customer their drink. She shouted "I'm so sorry didn't mean to throw it" MARYS SON WORKS HERE AS WELL AND one of the employees said he was on the ROOF of the RESTAURANT SMOKING !!!!! The next employees name is Michael, this man was literally eating across from the bar PIGGING OUT, it was like the food he was eating came from another planet because when I tell yall he was getting every bite. He then stared to make him self a drink and drunk it right at the bar.. these people in here are very unprofessional. All I heard waiting for My food was glass breaking and people fooling around in the back kitchen. Here's something that's going to blow all of your minds, an older lady from the kitchen came out poured her self a SHOT and thought she was slick taking it into the back to drink it !!! This place is like AN ACUTAL ZOO !! I waited EXTREMELY long for my FOOD !! I will NEVER EVER COME HERE AGAIN !!! TACKY TACKY TACKY read more

The service was absolutely terrible. Took over 15 minutes to seat us when the restaurant was empty. Took 20 minutes to get water after sitting, and the waitress came to our table a total of 3 times in 2 hours. I even had to go to the bar to get my bill and pay because the waitress was just not coming to the table. read more

I haven't been to this Applebee's in a long time. I wasn't sure what to expect but this location has been updated and decorated in regards to the community/schools in the area. They have tablets at the dinner table to play games, order food, and what not. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Came back and filled our drinks a good amount of time. Our food was good - we did the 2 for $20 deal with an app and entrees and no complaints. My meal was one of the more low calorie dishes and it was very flavorful while my husband enjoy his meal of chicken and mac/cheese. Overall, very nice dinner and casual night out with the husband - no complaints and would come back soon. read more

Honestly haven't eaten at a chain restaurant in a few years but decided to get the 8oz sirloin here for lunch and was very impressed! Steak was cooked perfectly and spiced surprisingly well! Broccoli and mash potatoes on the side were also really good. Very happy I decided to try applesbees again! Also the staff were really nice and that always helps! read more

Our food was delicious, we received it in a timely manner. Our waitress Dana was great

My Neighborhood Applebee's!!! The place is very accessible to where I live and to where I currently go to school. I love the 2 for $20 deal. We always get the Spinach & Artichoke Dip Appetizer. Regardless of the "microwave" preparation, the dish is still delightful nonetheless. I love mixing the spicy chipotle lime salsa over the spinach artichoke dip. Delicious!!! The portion size can feed more than 2 people. My Latest favorite entree is the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. The dish can be so greasy after awhile.... The breadsticks aren't so bad either. The thing I adore about this joint are the servers and bartenders. It's the reason why I picked to review this particular store amongst all the Applebees around the area. They are very friendly and accommodating. The store also acknowledges OU Student ID's. Students usually gets 10% discount off the bill (the last time I checked). read more

The service was amazing tiara did a phenomenal job and was really funny the only thing better than the service was the food

Waitstaff recommended fish & chips- perhaps they were tipping a few margaritas on the job. Worst ever- heavy breading with raw batter on the inside covering salty fish. Recommend new recipe. read more

Love this location! Jennifer is the best manager. Go-to is chicken wonton tacos for sure

The Applebee's by Oakland University was a pretty poor experience. We arrived to a hostess who handed us our menus told us to go sit at table 11. She wasn't doing anything, but didn't appear to want to be bothered with seating us. We have been to a few Applebee's during the pandemic and that didn't seem to be the typical process. Our waitress was wearing a mask that barely covered her mouth while completely leaving her nose fully exposed. She couldn't have cared less about her tables and spent most of her time complaining to coworkers about the air conditioning. The restaurant itself was in poor condition compared to most other Applebee's. Plenty of much better options in the area. Poor choice on our part. read more

It's Applebee's. Typical Applebee's. Food is Applebee's, service is Applebee's. Hubby and i's last resort. You get Applebee's. Sometimes we come here just to see if anything has changed. All in all, since the dawn of their existence it has been.... Applebee's. Not much to say. Can't compliment the food, can't complain about the food, the sugary margaritas and mixed drinks are typical Applebee's. Sometimes we think we're at TGIFridays. Which is also, very Applebee's. It's a chain, a typical, boring, uninteresting chain. read more

I called yesterday because I was having trouble ordering curbside Togo online and had the most wonderful experience. Stacy the bartender answered the phone and helped me. I was ordering dinner for my mom & brother who live there. I live in the upper peninsula. Not only was she helpful, but she was very kind to my situation. I told her it's my moms birthday and I can't order online. She said normally we don't take payment by phone, but went to her manager who approved the payment. My mom and brother were so happy with their meal. Stacy also wished my mom a happy birthday which made her day. I can't thank Stacy enough for making this work I've been in the service industry for years. It's hard to find helpful, kind people like her. I will for sure be by to visit this location next time I'm in town because of her read more

Tesseray was amazing to my husband and I. Constantly checked on us and was very very polite. We will come back to this location often now!!

Everything at this location outstanding from food to staff keep up the good work will visit more often and being friends.

Only giving 4 stars because of the manager!!! We was seated by the waitress and given drinks. No silverware or napkins! We watched people who came in after us get the food before we even got our appetizers. We waited 42 mins before we got our appetizers. The waitress was no where to be found, someone else brought the appetizer that was cold. We told the manager and he immediately remade our appetizers and the entire meal was on the house. He was extremely apologetic and personally remade our order. He turned a horrible experience to a great one. Didn't get this hero name but he was a black male with braids. read more

Ordered the choose 3 apps as a main course. I ordered French onion soup, boneless wings, and the chicken wonton tacos. My hubby ordered the choose 3 also. He ordered 2 orders of the boneless wings and spinach artichoke. First, when the server brought out the food, she brought my soup and hubbies spinach artichoke dip. We were told the boneless wings and chicken wonton tacos would be ready in a min. 15 min later, we were brought out the rest of our APP combos. Third, the boneless wings were cold! So not happy! They did wave the cost of one of the app combos, so good they were willing to try and make the situation ok. They did not offer to remake or even warm up the food. Not sure if the server was to blame or the kitchen, could have been a combination of both. Either way we walked out hungry. We decided to just box it up and take home to microwave. read more

I had a great meal at Applebee's over the weekend. I tried their new Topped & Loaded promotional menu and got a chicken breast covered in beer cheese and haystack onions with two sides. Everything was super delicious and freshly made. At first, I was hoping for more beer cheese on top as I thought they skimped out on me - but I managed to make it work with what they offered me. The only thing that irked me was that we weren't given any silverware to begin with. When the food arrived, the server said she would go get some right away, and then she went and took another table's order and then went off to do something else. We had to flag down anyone we could so we could start eating the food that was in front of us. We were able to sit right away when arriving on a Sunday night with no wait. read more

Service was a bit on he slow side but we really enjoyed sharing appetizers and they had drink specials that can't really be resisted, $5 mojito, Long Island or margarita! YUM! We ordered hot boneless wings, teak quesadilla, chicken wonton tacos and Sirachha shrimp. It was nice because they have select appetizers 2 for $10 or 3 for 12.99, it's a steal! I know applebees is known for late night appetizers but I really think this new special where you build your own sampler is an awesome idea, everything is a half order or so which makes it even more cool because you can get a bunch of small plates to share! read more
