Celiac Foodie- Eh. Not recommended for Celiacs. I ordered the Chicken Tex Salad Bowl, with no tortilla strips. It's noted 'Gluten Sensative' on the menu. My salad bowl arrived looking okay. Until I turned the plate and it was noticed my bowl was dirty. Literally had previous food sauce on the side of the bowl. Prior to noticing that, I had a few bites and immediately realized I was ill. No charge for my meal. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich was okay, but over cooked chicken. Hard to eat. Fries were seasoned well. Overall, okay for a quick bite while you're shopping but not if allergens are an issue. Happy dining. read more

Came for lunch with the parents today not expecting much. We all did the $14.99 all you care to eat boneless wings, riblets, and shrimp. We ordered a few orders of each between the three of us. Favorites were the riblets and the honey barbecue boneless wings. Fries were great but too plentiful. The shrimp's breading could have used more flavor, even just black pepper or something. There wasn't much meat on the riblets but it didn't matter as you could reorder. Food came out quickly and service was friendly and quick. For some reason the coleslaw is not unlimited which was a bit odd as I would have liked more than the tiny cup that they gave. Restaurant was also very cold inside. I had to wear my jacket the entire time I was in there. However it was clean and well kept. Overall I'd return as I thought it was a good deal for all you can eat. read more

Greeter was excellent. Said "period". Made me laugh. Booth was SO comfortable. 10/10. Blinds were closed, atmosphere was excellent. Blinds are a bit stringy on the sides??? Menu is cute! THE NAPKINS ARE ADORABLE OMG Lemonades are sooo good! Wait was very short on food! Out of three dishes, only one of my friends didn't like their food very much. They got chicken tenders and fries. But it was still an excellent meal! Our server was very helpful when explaining how to pay! read more

Had a taste for a salad, but not a fast food one. Stopped here and got the chicken quesadilla salad, which was a really interesting variation the "southwestern salad" that turns up at a lot of places. It had the usual chicken/lettuce/spicy ranch/black beans/corn/cheese, but with crispy grilled quesadilla quarters on top. Everything was fresh and very flavorful. Could see making this a habit when returning from up north. Not many people here when got in at 5PM on a Wednesday. No one at all at the bar, where I took a seat. Service was quick, and I appreciated being able to pay by QR code. read more

good food, fast service, good drinks. Will go again. ask for Mike when you go, you won't be disappointed

I got a hamburger meal to go, and was reminded how good the lemonade was. The only downside was that I remembered how small portion sizes are to go. read more

Julie C. very attentive and knowledgable of menu! Great asset to the restaurant!! Always happy and friendly!

This one we got seated very quickly. Waitress was very attentive to the kids. Our order came out quickly too. We saw the manager going around checking the tables to make sure everyone's meal was going smoothly. They were polite and friendly. Surprised since we went at a time that would be busy for Birch Run. 4 kids and 2 adults got in and out in a timely manner with full bellies. The food was really good. We love the pretzels and beer cheese, burgers and chicken taco appetizers. read more

Decided on Applebee's for dinner on a Tuesday night while staying in Frankenmuth. Compared to a lot of other places looking at online menus, prices are getting ridiculously high to eat out. Last year during the shut-down of restaurants, we discovered Applebee's was doing curbside and had a 2 for $20 meals(if I'm correct on price, it's only up to $22 now), so we chose to stick with it. I was not disappointed. It wasn't overly busy when we went in, and we were greeted by staff. Had a great waitress. Helped us decide on drinks-they had a house margarita with different flavors for $3.75 so we tried that. It was good! I had the strawberry one. For dinner I ordered the Fiesta Lime Chicken. That also was good. I also had a choice of salad so I picked a Caesar salad. My experience here for a weeknight was awesome-friendly staff, loved our server, good food and drinks. Not crowded. read more

Stopped in to this Applebee's yesterday, sat 10 minutes before someone came up to greet us. We were informed that our server (bre?) was outside smoking! And she was sorry for our wait. She got our drink order and brought it back and took our order. Still haven't seen the server. As my husband goes to take a drink of his pop he noticed his cup was nasty with food reminisce floating in his drink! Still no server. We sat for another 5 minutes finally bre made an appearance to the table behind us where apparently there were missing an entire entree from their table. She made that right and then slammed down side plates on our table and rushed off.. we were still trying to get a new drink!! So I looked down and not only were there flys landing on the plates she had just slammed down but they were also nasty dirty! At this point I was mad as hell so I took the dirty dishes and pop to the host stand... No one was there. Smh we just left. Nothing to drink nothing to eat and a waste of more then 20 minutes. As a server myself I was embarrassed for this whole situation! Do better from the host to the dish pit it was a complete disaster! And fyi customers hate when they have to wait for their server to FINISH THEIR CIGARETTE BREAK . It stinks.. read more

The food always tastes better with coke, and that's what they didn't have which didn't let me enjoy my south west chicken salad, I had to get a box for the salad so I could eat it at home and when the next I enjoyed it with coke it tasted like heaven! read more

First I love the kids menu. My son is communication challenged and their menu was simple with pictures for each item. It clearly showed how to choose an entree, side, beverage, and more. He chose his meal himself. And when it came he ate it, starting with the broccoli! My husband's chicken sandwich was great and my chili lime chicken with Spanish rice was amazing. Very glad that I tried it! The restaurant was decorated for Christmas very cleverly. We also noticed a portrait of a young lady wearing a tiara and sash with Down syndrome which made us smile as our son has Ds also. It was a great meal. Our waiter was great and the manager stopped by to make sure everything was satisfactory. read more

Waitress (Sherry) was great. Kitchen and Manager, not so much. We ordered steaks, all were overcooked but edible. Shrimp was barely warm, asked to get new and I think the Manager just walked around the kitchen and brought them back. Inedible. It was kinda overpriced for what we got. We will most likely skip the next chance to dine here. read more

I love it here as it is yummy food and good price. The service was friendly and on point. Great price and fun ambience!

Always somthing isn't it filled my fry container 1/3rd of the way for my takeout order what a joke

my food was so tasteless that I felt like I was chewing on plain matter. I had this bird looking girl (holy what a beak!) staring at my family the whole time. while I was packing up my food I had to stop every few seconds to seize myself fron vomiting up that heinous garbage that I was served. the only positive thing about this experience is that our waitress was nice. don't waste ur money at this trash heap garbage pile of a restaurant read more

Really good, but sometimes they put cheese on my burger, and I can't eat cheese. I wish they would not skimp on their good fries too.

Yummy food with good staff and great energy got served very fast and sat down just as fast definitely recommend to anyone read more

Service sucked. Asked what we wanted every 3 minutes for a table of 6 then had to wait forever for our food and didn't even give us our 2 salads we ordered and still charged for them. read more

Got an order to go steak was so small thought it was a hamburger. Spinach dip was not even half full. Think salsa was spoiled very tangy taste. Won't order to go again. They don't try if the person is not there. read more

It's Applebees you get what you get. The server was nice can to our table several times to see if we needed anything and food was fast.

Swung in here on a Sunday while traveling up north for a family vacation. Place was bumping... came with a ~10 minute wait to be sat at around 6:30. Although a chain restaurant, this location does a great job of feeling more like a small town bar and grill with murals from the local high schools on each wall. It has been 10+ years since I've dined at an Applebee's and I have some sad news... the oriental chicken wrap is no longer on the menu. Tons of specials, they were pushing an all you can eat riblet, chicken, fish basket for around 15 dollars. And I caught a two dinner and an appetizer deal for 20 on the last page of the menu. Although tempting our stomachs and New Years diet resolutions took us the salad route... went with the oriental chicken salad and the steak southwestern salad.... not much a New Years resolution as both salads eclipsed 1k calories and were drenched in dressing. No complaints, food was a solid 3.5 stars. Modern dining experience with the new iPad/ kiosk on every table... able to order appetizers, drinks, desserts without asking a waiter/waitress. You can even cash out without talking to a single person. Although convenient, we saw less of our friendly waitress and had to rely on grabbing anyone we could get for some extra napkins etc (there is a call button on the kiosk, we just chose to ask a nearby waitress. read more

We had a good family night out with our Pastor and his family. The place is really neat and the presentation of the food items are in order. We will definitely be going back there for our special occasions and treats. The menu is superb and completely inspiring and tasty. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Had our lunch at Applebee's Birch Run MI with family - Sports Bars Near Me - Birch Run, Michigan

Worst experience literally, don't goto this place if your thinking about having a good meal. Their "Four Cheese Mac And Cheese With Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders" Tasted like there wasn't even cheese in it. Let alone it was so watered down I could pour the "Cheese" right out of her takeout dish! Her food was COLD and mine was burning hot. The "Wonton Tacos" were also very unsatisfying. I wouldn't even give this place a 1 star to be completely honest. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! read more

Nothing is cut to spec. Pico de gallo is chunky, too many jalapeños. Medium rare steak is well done. I know the right scoops are not being utilized. This location has disappointed me several times and as a former GM/KM, it sucks. It's my in-laws favorite place, but even they have been disappointed when a perfect margarita only fills her glass once instead of 2.5 times and was overloaded with ice. The bartender said they were told to save on liquor with all of the drink promotions. Just wish they would follow the expectations. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! Parent was eating salad, and there was a random bone fragment in the VEGGIE SALAD! She broke her tooth and they said they would pay to fix, then they refused to fix!! This event was verified by everyone else at the table! The people that own this franchise are liars and dishonest!!!!! read more

Depending on how busy they are is how good their food will be. I suggest not to order steak their at all. Every time I do I am disappointed. My steak is usually rare when I ask for medium. The quality of the steak is horrible, its tough and I have to choke it down because some of the sinew or something always is hanging up in my mouth. Who knows maybe its because I am hungry, really hungry and I don't chew my food properly. From now on I don't order any steak from Applebees. I do suggest the desserts as they are really good. read more

Ordered a steak well done and it was red so i sent it back and it was still red. Order a drink that was supposed to be an icy drink and it wasnt. Didnt have baked potato so i ordered red potatoes and they were so dry you couldnt eat them. I ask for butter but by then the potatoes were cold and i got cold butter, gross!! Left hungry and bill was 42.00. Thats bs!! read more

The place is very inconsistent. The employees really do not know what they are doing and management is not much better. I'll take my business elsewhere that appreciates my business. read more

Ok folks, another of my burger reviews. Overall the experience was good. The wait staff was great making a couple of appearances over our stay. The manager even came by asking how everything was. The burger experience could have been great. The burger was cooked perfect and the taste was good. The downside was is was only lukewarm. The 6 (LOL) onion rings were cold. Overall good experience. I will give this one another chance. read more

I love visiting Applebee's when I'm back in the States. I know the menu and it's a chill place to gather with family. We ha a great table at this location on a busy day and received great service. I can't believe they gave $1 Long Island Iced Teas (I did not try it). It's just like every other Applebee's in mid Michigan which is comforting. read more

APPLEBEES RUINED MY VACATION!!!! Waited 25 minutes for a carside to go order that was placed 3 days in advance. They packaged it terribly. Cold stuff in the same bag as the hot stuff so of course things like the yogurt turned to water by the time we drove 10 minutes down the road to our hotel. They forgot to pack eating utensils in our bag and the hotel didn't have any so we ate things like salad and steak with our fingers (gross!!!). They also forgot our son's drink which was a pop that we promised him as a reward for being good (which he was good all day long just to get that pop!). He only gets pop on special occasions... imagine his disappointment!!! Two large drinks were placed on the same side of a drink carrier (unbalanced!) with two tiny milks on the other side. One drink spilled in the van. The other drink spilled at the hotel when the lid cracked in two and popped off when I picked it up. The steaks were undercooked, rubbery, missing the spices on one of them, full of large chunks of fat with very little meat to it. I eat at Applebees and order the same thing all of the time and this is the very worst steak I have ever eaten. The stuff from Wal-Mart that I cook at home turns out better than these steaks did!!!! They didn't even get the sides right. Burnt crispy potatoes and cold mashed potatoes. My daughter's grilled cheese sandwich was like biting threw a rock and she couldn't eat it. My son's pasta chicken dish looked like it was left-overs recooked and definitely over-cooked. The mozzarella sticks were fine, MOST OF THE FOOD WAS THROWN OUT! A waste of $50. The whole fiasco robbed us of 2.5 hours of vacation time. Instead of the waterpark, we were sitting and waiting in a parking lot, cleaning up spilled pop, replacing missing items like forks on our own as we were on vacation and didn't have a fork in our hotel room, reheating food, and getting more food elsewhere. Also, the staff wasn't very nice and the girl who finally brought us our food practically threw it at us and ran inside. We tried to stop her to ask her for things like ketchup, to get us a manager, etc, but she ignored us and ran off. It was a very busy night for them (Christmas Eve) but we had placed our order 3 days in advance and the car who pulled up next to us was served promptly by a friendly server who made the time to talk to them. :( We had planned to tip $20 as we assumed excellent service but drove off with only leaving a tip of the remainder balance of $1.73 on our gift card. Worst Applebees I have ever been to!!! read more

Two stars only because their takeout girl is nice and I never have an issue with takeout food, strangely enough. Otherwise, it would be one star because more than 50% of the time there is something horribly wrong with my food, usually hair but sometimes other things, like once the ceramic plate was chipped and there were pieces of ceramic all over inside my pasta. Once I was out with a large group of co-workers and it honestly looked like one of the cooks emptied a hairbrush into my pasta, it was full of hair. My whole table lost their appetite. My advice: drive a few miles south to Clio's location instead, they have given perfect service and perfect dinners every time. read more

Ordered ribs, not cold but not even warm. Fries came separate because i asked for no season on them took a little longer to get them. Feel manager is a robot and not sincere on greets herd a customer behind me ask about a sauce and manager blew them off and said we don't have that instead of trying to accommodate them. What happen to taking care,of the customer? read more

Wow, what a bustling place. Fast service. Fresh food. Very popular and great location. Right off I-75 at Birch Run. Easy off.... easy on.

Checked into this Applebee's and there were no incentives like the Applebee's in Novi, Michigan. Now, I like these incentives and can get use to them! Oh well. Ordered some kind of chicken oriental salad in a wrap. It was good. Nothing too bad about this place. Very busy, no special service for anyone - too busy in there. It is by the Outlet mall and hence all the shoppers come to this restaurant instead of that fat-laden Tony's place!!!! Where if you order an order of bacon they give you a pound of it!!!! read more

I don't even know where to start. My husband and I lost someone very dear to us today and didn't have it in us to cook dinner. We are farmers and very successful business owners so we rarely have time to go out. We haven't been to dinner in 5 years... so tonight we took our 14 year old with autism, and both of our toddlers... the girls have NEVER been to a restaurant in their lives... everything was fine despite our toddlers acting like toddlers because it was new to them and they didn't understand... fast forward to us getting the check and my husband goes to look for the waiter to pay our bill and he found him talking mad smack about us. My husband just turned around and the waiter came and apologized and acted like everything was cool and blah blah... we still tipped him well... but I seriously hope he learned his lesson about judging a book by its cover. We are having a really rough day, and our toddlers were being toddlers... and that just put the cherry on top. It was horrible, and I don't think we're going to attempt that again. If any of our employees did something like that, we'd be absolutely furious because we love our customers. It's how we feed our family. We cried the whole way home. read more

Let's set aside the fact that I once have crapped my pants as an adult as a direct result of the food I ate here. It's actually super good with some great, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. With constant updates on their menu, it makes it a great experience when I can walk in and try something I never have tried from there and it be really good. I'm a big fan of the triple chocolate meltdown but I never get to it because I eat so much! read more

The service is always good here and the staff is always friendly. I love the french onion soup and pretzels!

Not that great for take out. Food was cold, even though I was early. No utensils and paper goods ... What????. This place sucks at take out. Order online & no where was I asked for paper goods or plastic utensils. Applebee's needs to get this part of the business figured out. read more
