It's Applebee's sometimes it's a hit or miss. Tonight they weren't busy, and my party of 9 was able to get seated quickly. They don't allow you to move tables like the other locations so we had to sit at 3 separate tables. The restaurant was fairly clean but it's always so dim lit inside. The bathrooms needed some attention. Our server was Kimberly and she seemed either upset, was having a bad night, or maybe that's her personality, idk. I ordered a grilled chicken salad. Can't mess that up. It was delicious and the portions were generous. read more

Great setting, the food was filling and really good, I was happy with the portions. My family and I went out for a nice dinner, only gripe was that there were no TVs or visible eye line to them from where we sat, which seems silly. But that's me being petty I suppose. The friendliest barkeep, server, and hostess. All sweet and kind and attentive. Great service. Will go again (and pick better seats this time). read more

Bartender was fantastic, place was busy but service was great, place appeared clean and would recommend.

This is my second time in the area and my second time ordering from Applebee's through DoorDash. And this is the second time they forgot to include an order item. This time I did not get my flavored lemonade. And both times I asked to include utensils and both times they were not included. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. I am back in the area next week and I guarantee I will never order again from this Applebee's. Or from any other one for that matter. Oh and both times I ordered a burger and fries and both times they were just OK. Nothing to rave about. This place needs to get its act together! read more

Perhaps it was the date, time of day or that I walked in and ordered my To-Go, but contrary to the last reviews, my experience was pretty good. To-Go order for Salon Saturday, 3 orders of Double Crunch Wings, Riblet Basket, 2 Sides of Fries and my order - Chicken Fajita Rollup. Ordered a Makers and Sierra Mist while I waited. Took 15 min for the order to be ready. It was correct and hot. Everyone enjoyed their meal! Food tasted great. I tried a few wings and enjoyed the crispness of the outside while the inside wasn't overcooked. The Fajita wrap was a good size for the price and a fair amount of chicken in the wrap. Flavors were good and fries were cooked well. Hadn't had Applebee's in some years. Glad to see it's still good eating in the neighborhood. read more

The reviews are not warranted! I got the grilled chicken oriental salad and it was so fresh and crisp! You cannot beat the boneless wings. Love this place!! read more

I decided to get half off appetizers at Applebee's. The host was very polite. He said there was about a 15 to 30 minutes wait. I looked around, and there were plenty of seats. It wasn't busy. But I understand if you are short staffed, it will be a wait. I said no problem. The place looked nice. It's been a while since I've eaten there. He seated us, and he said something to my server, and she didn't look too happy. She disappeared. Later, she came out of hiding and said something to the table next to ours. Later, I looked up, and she was gone. After a long wait, she came over and apologized for the long wait. She rushed us to take our order. That was fine. We knew what we wanted. She brought the drinks and appetizers. The drinks and food were great. I was done with my drink when the appetizer came. I wanted to order another drink. But she disappeared. After some time, I looked for her. She was nowhere to be found. I was purposely not finishing my food, waiting to order a different drink. Then I decided I was going to go ahead and eat and not get another drink. She is still nowhere to be found. I got a call. I needed to go to the emergency room.. I can't find my server. I stood up looking for her. Eventually, she appeared. She went to the next table and then came to me with a bill. I said, "Don't leave, I'm ready." I paid the bill and had to wait even longer for my change. I would have given it to her for a heft tip, but I didn't want to reward bad service. Not once did she check on us. She disappeared for long periods of time. Seeing that I was in a hurry to leave, she took an extended amount of time to return. I still gave her a tip even though she didn't earn it. I would have given them a 5 star review it weren't for the poor service that we received. read more

Server did not check on us at all after taking our order. Not once, despite walking past us multiple times. We had to finally ask the host for the check and a to go box. No drink refills the entire time until one of the kitchen staff was kind enough to bring us to go drinks. I've never experienced anything like it. read more

This is the neighborhood hangout spot apparently. I went in for the month long dollar margaritas. The margaritas were actually pretty tasty. We also ordered a few appetizers. Chicken tacos, pretzels and cheese dip, and spinach and artichoke dip. All of it was pretty good. The place was packed and service was a bit slow but not too bad. We had to ask for refills on water once. I'd go back again. read more

Gluten-free options, delicious plant burger, great curb side service, delicious fries.

Hubby and I stopped in last night for late night happy hour. The restaurant was clean and not very crowded. The late night happy hour advertises $5 apps from 9-12 on the wall, but they were out of "happy hour menus" and the employee advised that the app prices actually varied depending on what was ordered. We took our chances! We ordered boneless wings, nachos, chicken wonton tacos, a side of fries and a side of queso. Hubby also ordered the $1 Mai Tai monthly special. The fries were amazing - hot, fresh, crispy, PERFECTION! I haven't had fries that good in a while (and secret, I didn't want to order the fries, then ate almost all of them)! The nachos were also tasty and the wonton tacos are my FAVE! I didn't try the boneless wings. The Mai Tai was lacking - to be fair the employee did tell us she thought it was "heavy on juice" - we agreed. We have had other $1 drinks there that were amazing, but the mai tai was lacking. Overall the food was good and prices reasonable - wonton tacos were 1/2 price ($4), nachos were $8 (usually 11) and the wings were $5 (usually $10). We had tons of food plus 2 drinks for $25. The employee who helped us has helped us before - she seemed to be having an "off" night. She may have even been the only server there besides the bartender. Overall I still recommend them and think the food is reasonably priced and delicious. read more

As a server, waiting for food when it's busy is one thing. Waiting for water when it's not busy and having to ask 3 people for the water after the app is just wild. Also making the wrong drink and never checking on us. Extra crazy. read more

First time coming to this for my mothers birthday and she ordered the salmon and first bite in it was raw and not cooked and the brownie for her birthday has hair all in it. Not a good experience at all. read more

My boyfriend warned me about this location. Makes me not even want Applebee's in general. They gave us a 45 minute wait Valentine's Day Night, and told us we would get a text when it was an open spot for us. We came to the restaurant, 42 minutes before and the door was locked. I called them (calm toned and no attitude in my voice) and asked her why would they give us a time, take our phone number, and tell us we would have a spot just to lock the doors. She said she was just the messenger, and blah blah blah. The manager told us that we could just sit at the bar and we could still order but I was on hold for so long we had tried to catch the Chick Fil A before it closed so I denied. Do not come here, especially in the evening. read more

The food was good, hot and fresh... but the server Jennifer S was the worst I've ever had. The management staff brought our food out to us. We were missing an order but she was no where in sight to check on us. She gave drinks to the table next to us and turned to walking in the other direction without checking on our table... finally I got up and went over to her to tell her about the missing appetizer.. she went and got the app and left empty drink glasses on the table (no refills) finally our meal came out brought by another manager who also had to refill our drinks!!! She never checked on us only to bring the check and to go containers. If you don't remember anything about this post remember the server name and run for dear life to another table or section for better service!!!!! read more

Very bad burger I said pink the cooked the burger so long it shrank to nothing I'd give a big zero on it

DoorDash delivery from Applebee's Very BAD food! I ordered the steak dinner. The steak was so bad I gave my cat a piece and he literally would not touch it. It was clearly over- cooked and possibly had been sitting for hours. Terrible! I also ordered the blonde brownie and it was also dry and appeared to be very old. I had to throw that out as well. The only thing edible was the salad, that was fresh. The next day I called the Applebee's in Bridgeton and told the manager how awful it was. He started making some lame excuse about it maybe it took long for delivery. Not true. My order arrived within 30 min. Long story short, they simply DO NOT CARE! Terrible food and a bad cut of "meat" I hope this helps someone. read more

Where do I begin. From the kids at the door with the slang greetings to sitting at our booth for 23 minutes without someone acknowledging that we had been seated. I requested to speak to a supervisor and it took her 17 minutes to even come to the table. Overall a horrible experience. The staff did more congregating than serving their customers. read more

I know it's hot outside but that doesn't mean it should be 88 degrees in the restaurant. Our server moved slower than a sloth. We received our water with our food. I didn't receive my beer until after I was finished with my meal. I had to inquire on the lemonade that was ordered. There were less than 10 tables filled when we arrived so it wasn't because they were busy. read more

Came here on a Sunday night around 9 pm. We were seated immediately and our server was awesome. After 9 they have half price appetizers so we went with nachos, the chicken quesadilla, and also got an order of French onion soup. All was phenomenal! And with the happy hour pricing so much food for your money. Restrooms clean and clean tables. Will be returning. read more

By far the BEST Applebee's I have ever been to - I live in S. City and the only AB close to me was Kingshighway and Chippewa. Bartenders were nice but the Customer Service was horrific. This location!! OMG!! The best and most amazing people ever!! Greeting customers by name, fun conversations? I don't even know how to describe. Frequent here! read more

just now I went here for Carside to Go, girl that came to my car window had her mask in her hand and 2 feet from me. Asked her to back up a little. Order was 30 minutes late, manager came out to car window without a mask and 2 feet from my window. Steak was rare instead of medium well, won't be back. read more

OK I am so giving it 4 stars. The food is still Applebee's food but I have discovered the spinach and shrimp salad to be very tasty if you get the insane bacon dressing on the side! What keeps me coming back is Christeen's awesome bartending skillz and delicious drinks. (See photos.) She always lets us try new concoctions or gives a small taste to see if we will like something before we order one. Now THAT's service!! I am going to come here every Sunday if I can, although that may be hard now that I have a regular job again and have to get up early on Mondays, hehehe. ;) read more

So we stopped and walked in during the cold rain , got the 2 of us on the waitlist and was told it would be approx. 20 mins. They took my name and phone number said we would be texted when table was ready , walked back outside in the cold rain to the car. As we sat out in the car I looked on the app. to progress our wait after 22 mins. I saw we were the 1st in line with a party of 6 that checked in 10 mins. after us 2nd well after another couple mins. I checked and saw that the party of 6 that came 10 mins. after us got seated and we were still sitting in the car , that will be the last time we go to that Applebees ............... read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! This place is terrible!!!! I went there Sunday for lunch, me and my two sons. The place is filthy. The tables were dirty, the cups and utensils were dirty, the soda tasted like old carbonated water. Waitress was rude. The food was cold, the chicken strips were old looking and tasting. None of us barely ate anything on our plates. $50 down the drain! We never had a manger come check with us and our waitress didn't care. If you care about cleanliness, sanitation, and edible food...skip this place!!! read more

Only go here if your close to this location. The food is okay, but servers need to step their game up. I sat down at the bar for almost 20 minutes before being welcomed. read more

We happened to be on the area and stopped in for drinks. And we're glad we did. Christeen is really nice and fun to talk with. The food has been good every time and the drinks are always well made and delicious. And with the new menu, we are excited to try some new things. The perfect margarita and Modela are what we usually get. And some of our favorite food includes the 4-cheese Mac n cheese, the Blazin' Texan burger, and various apps. read more

Mental health issue!! Mental health issue!!! We went into Applebee's tonight for dinner. It was myself, my partner, and our two boys 6 and 8yrs. I had my registered emotional support puppy with me. I understand he is still a puppy and some places don't like when I bring him in and completely understand that. The manager at this Applebee's though, didn't just ask us to leave because he was a puppy but went on to basically say mental illness is not a concern for him as a physical Illness would be. I showed him my papers for the dog and he said if I had a physically condition like blindness or if I was deaf that would be okay. I told him mental illness is just as important as physical. I could not believe the way this was handled and his opinions on mental illness are just plain ignorant. We will not be returning to this or any Applebee's from here on. read more

Pathetic! Only a few customers and ...waited 5 minutes for person to tell us it would we a 25 minute wait just to be seated. We did not stay. Witnessed a server holding tray of food in one hand and other hand was where you don't want it to be! OMG!!!Poor poor poor. Disgraceful for Applebees reputation. This one should be closed permanently. read more

If you go for lunch and some in your group get the unlimited soup and salad special ($5.99) ask them if the soup/salad people can be served immediately. Otherwise, their first serving will come out with the other entrees. So when my friend was just ordering his 2nd soup/salad option, I was just finishing my pasta. I probably didn't want to sit there and watch him eat his whole 2nd course nor did he want me to sit there and watch him eat. :) Beside that, they put out some good coupons sometimes. The Chicken Fettucine Carbonara is normally about $11.39, and the coupon made it only $7.99. Beware though! This entree, which was a normal-size portion, was 1100-1400 calories, depending on whether you ate the bread stick that came with it. Oops! I will say, however, that this pasta entree was pretty darn tasty though. read more

This is the only restaurant I visit on a weekly basis. I am here at least once a week and have been coming here for 3 or 4 years. If you want an awesome bartender who is very nice be sure to come on a Sunday, Monday, or Wednesday night and talk to Christeen. They have very good drink specials and half priced appetizers after 9:30. I normally will wait until 930 to order food and will get a Cheese Quesada. The cheese burger sliders are pretty good also and also on the appetizer menu. While I will not deceive my fellow yelpers and tell you that the food is something to write home about generally it is pretty good. If Lee is working the kitchen it is almost always awesome. If you are wanting to watch some sport game it will most likely be on one of the 6 TVs stationed around the bar area. read more

This is my neighborhood restaurant of choice. Today I had the shrimp and chicken with garlic potatoes on a sizzling plater. The presentation was very effective. The chicken and shrimp were tasty but a tad too salty. Most grilled items are a little salty but you can always ask for light seasoning. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. The hostess Dena was very warm and helpful read more

I normally don't do a lot of chain restaurants. I went here to watch the Green Bay Packer game on my way to the airport to fly out of town. The service was rude and inattentive. I called ahead to ask if they had the NFL sunday ticket and they did. When we arrived, I asked for the Packer game to be put on a TV in the bar and the manager changed it for us. Apparently they only know how to put one game on at a time as they changed all 10 TVs to the Packer game. No-one else in the restaurant seemed to be interested in any of the other games and so there were no complaints. About an hour later, another employee must have started his shift and became upset about the fact that his game wasn't on and subsequently changed all the TV's back to a different game. We complained and he eventually changed it back but then proceeded to wander around the restaurant making snide comments about the Packers with the obvious intention of us overhearing them. While I support him watching his game (although he was probably supposed to be working), I'm paying to be there and watch a game. If they can't figure out how to put multiple games on, I would expect the customer's request to be honored over the employee. His attitude about the whole thing made me pretty upset. I will never go back here. Food was unmemorable, probably because of the bad experience. read more

We went in on a whim and were very happily surprised by our visit! Our server, Quentin, was sincerely the best server/waiter I've ever experienced anywhere! (yes I realize this is Applebees and I've been to plenty of 5 star 'cater to you' restaurants) We didn't have time to want for anything cuz Quentin took very good care of us; extremely polite, attentive, and very thoughtful! The food was wonderful ~ hot & fresh! And we received it super quickly! read more

Went there for the bar and appetizers, needless to say couldn't sit at the bar because of the dirty dishes. I believe the bar sits 14 or more, there were 5 people sitting , everyplace else had dishes and empty drinks. 45 minutes later I looked and the dishes were still there, come on Applebee's get your staff together!!!! We did sit at a table and the server was nice and attentive and the food was good. We prefer sitting at the bar. read more
