I was there last night celebrating my 51 birthday. Chicken sizzling shrimp. With smash potatoes.. My Shirley temple with pop rocks inside was the best the apple pie almonds rocks. I will go there any time . read more

Affordable but not good. The food quality is similar to a cafeteria. They have cheap drink options but they are always full of sugar and cheap liquor. Basically only go on Veterans Day for the specials. read more

Veteran's Day! 6:30 pm. Place was packed. Wait time was approximately 10 minutes. Got seated and waitress took our order very quickly. We received our food in a decent amount of time. It was very delicious. Wonton tacos are my go to. Other meal was Fiesta Lime Chicken with rice (free Veteran's meal). It wasn't overly noisy, restaurant was clean. Waitress took about 30 to come back with our bill. She apologized that she got out back and was just talking. My response was "that's not nice". I was disappointed after a long day of traveling to wait so long for her to come back with our bill. Restaurant wasn't even busy by then. If it wasn't for the long wait in the end, I would've given 5 stars. read more

You can never go wrong with Applebee's! This is one of my favorite spots to go because it seems like their menu has something for everyone. Burgers, chicken, steak, plenty of appetizers and drinks. Always plenty of staff working so wait times are usually minimal. They also have a nice bar area if you just want to stop in and get a drink and appetizer. I've never had any bad experiences here. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. Love the little game tablet for the kids. Good food, good price. Decent staff normally.

You always know what to expect when you go to an Applebees. It isn't a fine dining experience but the food is good, cheap and always the same. Some of my favorites are the mozzarella sticks, spinach artichoke dip, chicken penne pasta and the chicken and shrimp dish. Their 2 for 32 with two meals and an app is a great deal. Large bar, lots of seating. The service today was very nice! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - This is the burnt bottom of a cheese burger at applebees in Bangor, Maine. Worst meal we have had in some time. - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

We went late on Friday night with a party of 4 and it was a good experience. It was Happy Hour, so we took advantage of the half price apps and drinks. We ordered the quesadilla, wings, nachos, pretzel bites, spinach and artichoke dip, Riblets, fried mozzarella, and a Beef Dip sandwich. All were well prepared and tasty. The service was good, with the exception that the waiter did not seem interested in clearing empty plates, so they sat on the table until we left. The HH drink prices were outstanding! Not a bad place to visit for casual dining. read more

Really nice Applebee's, staff were super sweet to my dad who is currently suffering some health challenges. Even along to change our table for less walking. Food was fine and no issues with the visit. Above average bathroom cleanliness read more

First off budget is clearly down due to the fact that the cups are now made out of microplastics that are scratched and i know for a fact aren't being cleaned throughly. Second the bathroom doors are now frosted not very private. Third of all i ordered the shark bowl and to my surprise my drink was given to me without the blue gummy shark on top. Shut this place down! read more

Food is always good and service is typically fast. Always a good choice if you have a group. read more

Good and fast service. Food was hot and tasty. Oreo Shake was great. The atmosphere was amazing.

Our waitress was very friendly, which I enjoy, because it makes the restaurant experience more fun. Food was very good and put together the special way I requested. read more

Arrogant bartender who didn't understand how to do his job. I was traveling alone and was surprised to receive such terrible service, and later when I brought it up, all he had to say what I should have understood he needed ton"talk up the hottie across the bar". Even for a chain, I was appalled at the service. Never again. read more

We were staying in Bangor for the night last night and wanted to grab dinner to go so we could relax at the hotel for the night. The food was awful-- when we got back to the hotel both entrees were cold. Ribs were so dried out they barely came off the bone, French fries were cold as well. The cold salmon had good flavor but again cold. I had ordered the ribs and after trying one or two fries- at the bottom of the container- I threw them out- the ribs were so dried out They got tossed as well after just two. Applebees surprised me because we done there often at home and while traveling but this location just didn't have their act together. Would not recommend you waste your money there. read more

We stopped in the other day for lunch. It was the most unsafe Covid restaurant we have entered in 18 months. Not one server wore a mask, no social distancing , and did not see any special precautions taken. Disheartening as Covid cases are increasing... read more

I do delivery driving and the jerk offs at this restaurant always mark orders as "Ready to Pick Up" long before they are actually ready. I always end up having to wait obscenely long for orders there. read more

Ordered through the Doordash app a salad. I asked for no chicken and no tomatoes and add cucumbers as I am allergic to tomatoes and did not want meat. They did not make it the way I requested. Supposedly spoke to the manager, the only way I could get it fixed is if I drove there to pick up a new one. Nothing was offered to fix this. I was only told that corporate would be informed. In The meantime, I am out my dinner and money. read more

Great atmosphere, great people in there, fast service, chicken sandwich coulda used some more sauce, my chicken fillet had some good sized bare spots read more

Ehhhhh... All I could order as a vegetarian was the tomato basil soup and grilled cheese for entre. It was good but nothing to celebrate over. I would give a better review if Applebee's offered better vegetarian & vegan options. read more

I came here for the first time ever with my girlfriend and had a great time Mallory was our waitress and she was very good she had a 12top plus 4other tables the poor girl never got a second to breath she was ver attentive and on top of her game very nice and friendly I hope the next time we come her we get her again read more

The food is good. The prices are very good. What makes it a 5 star experience?? Our server,Michelle!!!! She has an amazing outgoing personality, is extremely friendly and interesting, and is a terrific server to boot!!!! She really made the evening very enjoyable for us. We will go back time and time again and ask for Michelle to be our server. She was so good, I am calling to speak to management today to complement them on having such an incredible employee read more

Anyone who has ever been to an Applebee's doesn't need to be sold on their extensive menu serving anything ranging from burgers and wraps, to creative salads and their infamous Weight Watcher's menu. You can satisfy even the pickiest eater's appetite at Applebee's and the whole family can have a good time whether drinking wine and margs or strawberry lemonade and soft drinks. However, this specific location is ill-equipped to handle all of the appetizer sampler loving people in Bangor. My husband and I came on a Sunday and while the restaurant was very full, it was still not at capacity. We were seated promptly and not visited by our waitor for almost 5 minutes, though he walked by our table roughly once a minute. Our orders came out extremely slowly and often were delivered by someone other than our waiter. Our waters were not filled promptly and my husband's order was completely wrong (he ordered a salad and was given a chicken breast). I noticed our waiter was serving not only our side of the restaurant but also a few tables on the other side of the room. The waiter/waitress set-up seemed wonky and inefficient. Despite this visit taking much longer than anticipated and despite the food mix-up, the food was delicious (Roma steak was amazing) and it's an affordable way to dine with a family, a date or a birthday group in Bangor. read more

Food is really good and prices are really affordable. Steak was a bit over cooked it was really juicy and tasty. Surrounding are a bit loud but it's a family restaurant after all. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Bangor, Maine

Sirloin steak, broccoli, and mashed potatoes were tasteless. Usually pretty good but not today.

Horrible take out service they told me they weren't taking orders then just hung up on me I will never order from there again

Our waitress Makayla was super nice, very quick to get drinks and our appetizer out. Dinner was super mediocre though. Couldn't even make it halfway through the entree without feeling like crap. Think both me and my boyfriend got food poisoning from it. read more

The one star us for the server, she was great. The food was a minus 20 stars. The steak fajitas are not hot off the grill. There weren't any sizzling hot plates. Not even a grill stripe in the peppers or meat. Just a big pile of tasteless mess. Granted this was my first visit. I will try once more to see if it was a bad day. But this morning my stomach is churning and not in a good way. read more

I had a bout with gallstones in May so I had change my diet significantly. It really truncated the number of favorite places I could out to dine. Fortunately Applebee's has a terrific plate of grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I had to forego the mashed potatoes which contain saturated fats. As soon as I tried the broccoli I knew by have savory it tasted that it had to prepared in butter. It was confirmed. The waitress recommended a steamed broccoli replacement and even a double portion with a seasoning agent. The manager came to visit and learn of my situation then confirmed that the suggested steamed broccoli would be a safe way to go; she actually prepared it herself. Applebee's became my favorite safe place to dine out for several months. It's close in Bangor and we usually don't wait more than 10 minutes to be seated. Before my bout with gallstones our favorite dessert at Applebee's was the lava cake with vanilla ice cream! I recommend it to anyone that's dealing with dietary issues. For atmospheric considerations it has a nice bar section and flat screen entertainment throughout the dining area. It might get a little loud on occasion but not as loud as a sports bar. read more

Nice clean Applebees, greeted and seated quickly, and our server Marc was right on top of everything not to mention he was serving like 5 other tables, the service was 10/10, great lunch all around the board... read more

Rib had bone and water was tasteless also baby would not shut up #worstrestaurantever#blm#tiktok#Prochoice

Friday October 1st, ordered online at 5:50 pm for pick up at 7:10 pm. We arrived at 7:20 pm and texted that we had arrived for pick up. 15 minutes later we had not received our food so we called to tell them we had arrived. We finally received our food at 7:45 pm. We were travelling so we ate in the vehicle as we moved. We ordered a bacon cheddar grilled sandwich with fries and an oriental chicken salad. Upon leaving the parking lot I bit into my grilled sandwich and it was cold. Upon closer inspection, the receipt showed that the order had been rung out at 6:54 pm. So basically it sat for about 50 minutes before being brought out to us. I understand you may be busy but if your Manager can't manage both curbside pick up and inside service then you should get someone who doesn't only focus on one thing. Terrible experience at the Bangor Applebee's. read more

I always receive good service here, sometimes the wait can be long on busy days but that is expected. Waiters and waitresses are always amazing and food is always delicious. read more

Extremely nasty experience. Went in around 7pm tonight, our bartender who goes by the name Bruce , said he hadn't cleaned the bar all night. It was covered in stickyness and he was reluctant when we asked if he could clean it. He then continued on to ignore us while he flirted with his female guests. At one point he actually commented on one of her nipples and other sexual things. There were children everywhere. He also threw my ID at me when I ordered a drink. It was at this point I walked out. Thanks Applebee's. read more

2 to go orders in 5 days (I work nights at the hospital, don't judge me) and twice they've forgotten my side orders. once is a mistake, twice in one week is incompetence. waste of money and time. read more

It was just "OK" nothing to write home about. I asked for my burger "pink but not bloody" got raw on the inside. Just enough fries to make me feel like I got some, but we're Luke warm. Ordered boneless wings in two different sauces, they were so tiny and dry...don't order. read more

Wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for my son's birthday, but the 90-plus minute wait time put us at Applebee's. This is my first visit to an Applebee's and I was pleased! There was a 15-20 minute wait for our table of 4. The hostess was very good at finding each party, including going outside to be sure the party heard her announce their table was ready! Good job! My wife's margarita was good but they didn't have a couple of the beers listed in the menu, unfortunately. The waiter, though, was very apologetic (nice of him :)) The food was very good - appetizers were yummy though the "hot as habenero" buffalo wings were quite mild. The tilapia was excellent and my sons' steaks were as well, or so they said so. All items on the menu had the calorie count listed - some of the counts were very shocking! This *absolutely* influenced my order. But in a good you-should-know-better-than-to-order-that kind of way. I really really wanted the fish n chips... Loved the serenading waitstaff at dessert time (son's birthday, remember? :)) though my son would disagree with me on that one. Oh and the waiter said 'you're welcome' instead of 'no problem' when we thanked him. That goes over big with me. Yeah, I know. I should get over it :) Bottom line: good food, friendly staff & reasonable prices. Listing the calorie count right on the menu was a plus for me, though perhaps not for everyone. read more

My husband went here on Veterans Day as him and his combat buddy do every year. Applebee's offers free meals to vets on this day... While sitting at the bar ordering his food, he told his friend that he should try a different entree as he had it before and wasn't the best. The employee behind the bar then spoke up and said "you're getting your meal for free so you shouldn't say anything." ABSOLUTELY UNCALLED FOR. My husband was speechless. When he got home and informed me of this, I was tempted to call them myself however it probably wouldn't do much good. I have however been here with my husband prior to this episode and had good food and decent service. I will no longer be going here any longer... Some people... read more

I like this place becuz they have great service and good food and the people there are nice this is one of my favorite restaurants that I would too. read more

I came as a party of 6, arriving at 5:40 pm and Was told there would be a 15 minute wait (which is fine) however we waited for almost 40 minutes to be seated... then it took at least 10 minutes for anyone to greet us and take our drink orders. After our orders were taken, it took another 10 minutes to receive said drinks. So at this point it's been about an hour and a half and we finally get our appetizers. It is now 730 pm and our food JUST arrived.... we have been here for 1 hour and 50 minutes with bored and whiney children. I understand a Friday night can be busy, but I have never been so disappointed in Applebee's before and wish that I had turned away instead of waiting :( read more
