I know it's hard to count on good food and service at a chain, but we actually had a really good experience here late last night. With our flight getting in much later than expected, we didn't have a bunch of options for food. We walked in just before 11 on a Sunday night. The place was busy, but we were seated promptly. We ordered a few beers...did I mention our long day filled with delays and flight diversions...and then we got some food. The 1/2 price mozzarella sticks helped almost as much as the beer. From there, I had the Tex-Mex shrimp bowl, while my wife had the Impossible Cheeseburger. Food came out fast, and it was good too. Service was also strong. We were in and out in well under an hour...definitely what was needed late on this particular night. read more

Our favorite place for appetizers! The happy hour menu is always good, great prices, and good snack foods. There is enough on the appetizer menu we never need to order a regular entree. The service is always good despite the large happy hour crowd. read more

We had a great time at Applebees. Roberto was a great server and was super responsive. Applebees had a Greta happy hour special with half price appetizers and great priced happy hour drinks. I enjoyed the chicken quesadillas that I ordered. We had a great time in the bar area. Definitely check out the happy hour time! read more

Had a really great experience at Applebee's thanks to our server Mayra and the manager Javier! Mayra was super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out perfect. She checked on us often and ensured everything tasted great. Javier also came by to make sure we were taken care of, we could really tell he cares about customer service and his team! Definitely one of the best Applebees experience we've had! We will be back read more

Server was super nice and tried her best. I ordered the Mac and cheese with the honey chicken tenders thinking that it was going to be just that. No, it was a very bland penne pasta absolutely swimming in honey sauce from the chicken. It was so ungodly sweet I couldn't eat it. I ordered the extra bread stick with Alfredo sauce and ended up trying to cut the sweetness by pouring the Alfredo onto the pasta. I asked the server for another small cup of Alfredo and told her that it was just too sweet to eat. She brought another cup but there was no saving it. I couldn't eat it in the end. Ended up getting charged for the extra sauce, which is kind of crazy since I expressed how terrible it was and was trying to fix it instead of send it back. My stomach has been hurting ever since. This was dinner last night. It I lunch time now and I still feel very unwell. Also ordered a Long Island and it was almost thick with syrup. Who puts that much sugar in a Long Island? I guess that's why it was $4 you're getting no alcohol. Place was quiet and I had high hopes since this was my first time but I can't say I'll be back read more

The food was absolutely terrible. The boneless wings were as hard as rocks, and the hamburger was so thin and disgusting that it was practically falling apart. The manager came over and admitted that the patty was so thin that it fell apart. She was clearly aware of the poor quality of the food. My husband ate less than half of the burger, and she still charged us $15 for it. I would give it a negative if I could. read more

Tonight we came to our neighborhood Applebee's to meet friends for happy hour and unwind after work, but unfortunately the experience was far from enjoyable. Our server, Arely (apologies if the name is misspelled -- supervisor Jonathan knows who we're referring to), did not greet us warmly and immediately gave the impression that she didn't want to be there. Throughout our visit she was half-listening, walking away mid-order without allowing us to finish speaking, and making us feel like an inconvenience for asking for very basic requests. Food was brought to our table randomly, and when we tried to clarify or correct things, we were met with attitude. It also wasn't particularly busy, so the lack of attentiveness was confusing and frustrating. One example: our friend ordered chips and queso as an appetizer with drinks, but instead all of the food was brought out at once. A side salad that was supposed to come with the meal was delivered before our alcoholic drinks and sat on the table for about 20 minutes. We even tried to cancel the chips and queso before the food came out since it was no longer needed, yet it was still brought out -- and the server seemed irritated by the request, as if we were wrong. When we attempted to order additional food and drinks (we planned on staying and enjoying our night), we were treated like a burden for simply ordering more. A drink was also sent out incorrectly and had to be replaced. During all of this, Javier, the GM, stood at a distance and watched without stepping in. This is not our first experience with him, and it was very clear that he had no intention of helping or addressing the situation. Thankfully, Jonathan, the supervisor, stepped in -- and he completely turned the night around. His professionalism, understanding, and positive attitude were unmatched. He handled the situation with care, empathy, and a big smile while clearly running the floor. Honestly, he should be the GM. After asking Jonathan not to send our original server back to the table, we later noticed her across the room with Javier, rolling her eyes and cutting looks in our direction -- which only added to the discomfort. All we wanted was a relaxed, enjoyable night with friends. Instead, we felt dismissed and disrespected. This experience has truly turned us off from this location. If I ever return, it would only be because of Jonathan. read more

Just another Applebee's. It met the standards that I've come to expect at an Applebee's. It was really busy, but I was waited on fairly quickly and they did a good job of keeping my drink full. However, I ordered the All You Can Eat wings and I was slightly disappointed that they only came to refill my wings once. I kind of felt like it was them gatekeeping me from actually eating all that I wanted to eat by making me wait a long time between coming to see if I wanted more despite the fact that they refilled my drink fairly frequently. read more

We came in for some drinks and had a good time. The bar had a few seats open and I got some Avalanche amber ale on tap. The staff was friendly and we were served quickly. They had some mixed bucket drink that looked interesting. read more

It's the average Applebee's experience. It's not the worst but it's not the best either. We like to come here for reverse happy hour. The 1/2 price apps and $4 beers make up for the mediocre service. Just like any other Applebee's, they've got pictures from local events and sports teams on the walls. It's clean and very casual. I like it because 3 people can eat and drink for $50. read more

We visited this on 11/2/25, very close to their opening time. We went in an were greeted right away by the hostess. She asked if we would prefer a booth or table. I told her either would be fine, she chose a booth for us. I asked her if we could please have a high chair for our 1 year old. It took her a few minutes, and she came back with a booster seat and immediately walked away. We attempted to use the booster seat but, the distance between the seat and the table was too great, and it wasn't going to accommodate our needs. Our server overheard my complaint and asked if she could get us a highchair to which we agreed. After she brought the highchair over and we got our baby situated, the manager called our waitress over a couple feet away and began to yell at her for giving us a highchair. He began to point and stare at us while he scolded the server on the floor in front of customers. I watched him go back to the doorway of the kitchen and scowl at myself and my family. I pointed this out to my husband and elderly mother, that the manager just yelled at the server (to which they heard, everyone did) and him staring at us. My husband was very upset by this and told our server we would dine somewhere else. The server and hostess sincerely apologized, but the manager stayed far away. I am writing this to let you know, we will never return to this location to dine, and I believe your manager who opened Sunday morning should be spoken to in regard to his behavior. The other thing to note, is my husband actually works for one of the distributing companies for your location. This is poor behavior to exude and it reflects as very unprofessional on your business. The correct way to have handled whatever problem was unfolding in the manager's opinion was to come over and have a conversation with us, to explain and find a solution. Instead, he belittled his staff in front of patrons and co-workers, lost revenue, and tarnished this location for the future. read more

Endless boneless wings for $12? But how does it work? Sounds too good to be true. Well lemme tell ya, their selection of flavors include: garlic parm, honey pepps, Asian Chile, buffalo and bbq. You get 10 wings upfront and 5 when you're done. Bang for your buck. It's $12. Manage your expectations and you might enjoy it as much as I did. Did I mention it comes with fries and coleslaw. Gotta respect the Bees read more

Worse managed Applebee's I've been too. I read the reviews before coming but because I was visiting and thought a corporate large-scale business couldn't be managed that bad all the time so I was hoping by rolling the dice that I had a good experience. It was horrible. The service was ridiculously slow. Almost 15 minutes before acknowledging me at my table. Wasn't excessively crowded and there were servers but many seem to be dragging their feet and staying out of sight. Unfortunately, my waiter was pretty slow although was very cool and nice. He didn't really seem to have the experience but he made sure my food was good. My drink was also good. He did give it his best so although I didn't see him much and I felt he was underperforming which looks like the same for a few other servers I'll give him my A-Plus for effort. I truly don't fault the server, I fault the management. Get new management. No reason a commercial large chain is operating so horribly and the reviews are so consistent. Beautiful location amongst many hotels and can't even provide great welcome to Denver experiences. read more

Came in on a Monday night about dinner time and was promptly seated. Wait staff was kind, although not the most attentive. Food tasted ok, but, at least what I ordered, wasn't particularly special. Pub loaded waffle fries were fun and good to share with a small group. Stake was cooked as ordered and well seasoned. Music wasn't to loud, not intrusive. read more

I went to pick up my order and waited in the lobby. When the lady brought me my food, she asked me to sign a receipt. I was confused because I wasn't the authorized cardholder for the order, and my boss had already tipped when we placed it. The lady stood nearby and watched as I signed the receipt. I felt uncomfortable because I had to put $0.00, knowing we had already tipped online. It was an awkward situation since they were essentially asking for a duplicate tip. To all my fellow food grabbers, you might want to consider avoiding this location if possible. While the food itself wasn't bad, I enjoyed the Mac and Cheese, the uncomfortable experience of being observed while signing a receipt for an already placed order was quite bizarre. They forgot two items from my order, and this seems to be a recurring issue. You might wonder why I didn't check the bag before leaving. Well, I had a rather unfriendly and agitated staff member standing beside me, displeased that I hadn't tipped. Additionally, they secure the to-go bags with multiple tight knots, making it difficult to inspect the food thoroughly. read more

I went there with my husband for lunch and we ordered the Chicken tenders and Ultimate trio. It was so good and has great flavor. The chicken has good crush and juicy.

Didn't take pictures because I made a quick stop with friends.The dollaritas, blue Hawaiian long island, and wings were surprisingly good. However, this guy sitting next to us was acting super creepy and inappropriate with one of the servers... and no did anything about it. The restaurant was packed too and the girls at the entrance weren't the nicest. They def seemed annoyed when a group of us (6 people) were asking how much longer we had to wait for our table. read more

Never been a fan of AppleBee's but giving it 3 stars for the friendly and attentive staff. I wasn't a fan of the penne pasta with honey breaded chicken and the server was nice enough to comp it. The second plate was a chicken grilled cheese which was a little better. The VooDoo IPA was delicious. read more

We decided to go to Applebee's because we were staying at the Marriott Gateway before flying home. We decided to eat dinner on a Sunday night (Sept 26, 2021). I have always liked Applebee's. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. The waitstaff wore masks. Since Applebee's has a bar, we decided to order Long Island iced teas and a scotch and water. We asked if the bar had a particular brand of scotch, but the waitress had trouble understanding us (English is not her first language.). She did ask the bar and they gave her the available options. Our choice was among those so we were pleased. We ordered a grilled chicken salad, a Chinese chicken salad, a fried chicken salad, a soup and salad combination, and a cup of French onion soup. She brought the French onion soup first. No crackers even when we asked. Soon after she brought three salads and the tortilla soup. We asked for crackers to go with the soup but they never arrived. We had to ask for the other salad. The food was good. She did not check to see if we needed more or other drinks. I had to drink someone else's water. It was annoying to watch the waitress go over to sit at another table with two men. She was talking and laughing with them the whole time we were eating dinner. I don't think that she was on a break. She wasn't checking on her customers. We had to ask her for our ticket several times. When she brought the bill it was wrong. She mixed up our order with another order and when we questioned it, she said that it didn't really matter. I realize that there is a staffing shortage due to the pandemic and other factors, but I question whether this person understands that repeat business and her tips depend upon customer service. Perhaps this Applebee's needs more training for the staff or stricter hiring policies. Not everyone can do this job. read more

When the only other restaurant in walking distance is on a crazy wait and you can't, you go to Applebee's. It's been decades since I sat in an Applebee's. Of the numerous chains like it, Applebee's was never my favorite. I mean, the food was always just ok, and service totally depended on the server and the day they were having, so naturally it fell out of my thoughts entirely. Recently they resurfaced in my consciousness thanks to the "Dollarita" promotion. Who could forget that? I think it was that promotion that made going into this restaurant less of a struggle for me. The promotion made the brand seem downright fun, and fun people don't eat crappy food. Right? Right! Dinner was decided on as soon as we sat down. UNLIMITED CHICKEN FINGERS AND UNLIMITED RIBLETS FOR $12.99! How could there be anything else on the menu better? Even if there was, we weren't interested and proceeded to plow through plate after plate of these items. The riblets were tender and tasty, but the sauces were too sweet and a little thick for me. I should've asked to have the sauce on the side, but never got around to that request. The chicken fingers were your all white meat tenderloin type with a nice crunchy seasoned breading. You know the real peppery kind? To cut that you got honey mustard though, which was pretty tasty. Our server was attentive and efficient, but I don't know if I'd call her friendly. She certainly was helpful though, and that's what matters. All in all a solid experience. I didn't expect much, and what I got over delivered. read more

Saturday November 29th 2014 - Applebee's Aurora Location... It has been ages since we last step in any Applebee's... Man they really "revamped" their interior looks what nots... We went here for Dinner after work since we don't feel like travelling across town etc just to have Dinner. Time was about 19:00hrs. We came in, greeted by the one of the staffs, and ushered to one of the Booth Seating in the "Military Room"... Err, this room is filled with pictures of Military Personnel, Jet Fighters what nots.. From the extensive menu they offer, we opt to order the following items : * Ultimate Trio ($12.99) * Mushroom Swiss Burger ($10.99) * Fish & Chips ($12.99) Hubs opt to have Coffee ($2.49) while I opt to have Fountain Root Beer ($2.49). Our lovely server who is originally from Korea, her name is Kyong J. She is indeed attentive, answers our questions and so cheerful! Our food came out periodically. From what I could recall, the items we choose for the Ultimate Trio are Classic Wings with Asian Dressing, Cheeseburger Sliders and Grilled Chicken Wonton Tacos. There is 2 Sliders each, hence Hubs can have 1 and I can have 1. Both Hubs and I like those Ultimate Trio that we choose. Hubs likes his Main Entrée of Fish & Chips, and so do I, for my Main Entrée of Mushroom Swiss Burger. Portion are decent and we are indeed stuffed after that Dinner evening. YES, this establishment is large enough to have or bring a PARTY! A lot more patrons with their families and kids came in, while we were there. The area where we were seated its more "quieter" compared to the Main Bar area, where ALOT of TV Screens are showing the latest game in town etc. All in all Decent Dining experience here and may return when needed. Left this establishment about 20:00hrs ish. The opening hours for this Applebee's Aurora Location is as following : * Monday - Thursday : 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM * Friday - Saturday : 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM * Sunday : 11:00 AM to 12:00 AM Call them in advance to verify their operation hours in case, they might change it.

Look I'd give 0 stars if I could I'm so disappointed as this was one me and my daughters favorite spots I'd take her here rewarding her for doing well in school I moved out of state for a while so I haven't been here in about 5 yrs thought I'd bring my wife for dinner this past Saturday/Sunday morning because their open late we missed a wedding reception so we were hungry and I seen Applebees was still open an headed over let me say when we got there we ordered appetizers first they came out so quick before we were even done with our appetizers our entrees were already coming out you usually order appetizers because it usually takes a min to prepare your entree but no it was to fast so I spoke with a former employee of Applebees and was informed that nothing is cooked fresh it's all prepared early in the morning sometimes the early morning hours even before opening and everything is just microwaved an heated for you if you've ever wondered why they say carful "HOT PLATE" it's because it was in the microwave that's not the bad part there's more lol me and my wife ended up getting very ill from the food and was on the toilet with a trash from it coming out both ends if you catch my drift after feeling slightly better we contacted the manager whom didn't seem like it because he took all my info and said he'd speak to his boss as I was requesting a refund here 5 days later no call or email this was totally unacceptable customer service he asked did we go to the hospital how? Who was going to drive us our children who aren't old enough to drive!?! Lol if I said it was coming out both ends smh as you can see in the pics I took pictures of my wife's left overs and it has a funny smell even after bro refrigerated the chicken is under cooked and my wife requested well done even when I've never thought I had to request that for chicken nobody wants tough, chewy undercooked chicken I was hoping the manager would reach back out so I waited to post this review but no call no email as he said I'd receive we will never return to any location after hearing how the food is prepped I don't even like putting my left overs in a microwave let alone pay for microwaved food from a establishment so we're never going back to Applebees. read more

As Applebee's generally go, it's average in taste, quality and value. We ate there because it was close by to our hotel; and it was open. There were no huge thrills regarding our dining experience to rave about. I had the chicken tortilla soup and a salad and it was OK. I would give each a 6 on a 10 scale. The salad could have had more varied toppings on it, but it is what it is. The soup had a bit of a spicy hot zip and was adequate in flavor. We also ordered fish and chips with a side of slaw, chicken tenders with fries, and a fried shrimp plate. The others in my party said their food was just OK. The coleslaw was probably the biggest disappointment of the whole meal. It really was terrible. It tasted watered down with absolutely no flavor whatsoever. If I'm ever in that area again, I probably would choose somewhere else to eat. read more

Can I give a zero? I don't understand why we keep doing this. My wife and I keep going to Applebee's and keep getting treated horribly. The staff is just rude, unhelpful, lazy and quick to point the fingers at each other. This store needs to under go some serious house cleaning starting from the top down. My wife and I ordered Applebees through doordash. Well we were delivered the wrong food (yes I know it happens) we talked to the doordash driver and he explained that, that was the food that was handed to him and we would need to contact Applebees. My wife calls them and a girl answers my wife proceeds to explain what was going on. The waitress said it was the drivers fault not hers, even though she next admitted that she was the person to hand the driver the wrong bag. My wife asked them to resolve this issue and. Then the young lady started being rude and stated that we can come pick it up or leave it and that we were still going to pay for it then she hung up on her. So then my wife calls back this time asking for a manager. No help and then he pointed the finger saying it was doordash fault yet his own waitress admitted that she took it up. No help. This our latest experience of many with Applebees. This is the last straw we will not return to this Applebees ever again. Avoid this place! Go any where but here. Well unless you want to be treated like crap read more
