So bad! I couldn't even enjoy my lettuce's

I'm very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food looked nothing like the pictures they advertise. Everything seemed old and not fresh at all. The quality was very poor and honestly not worth the money. I expected much better based on what they show online. I would not recommend this place. I used to come here all the time, but now it's completely different and not in a good way. It's really sad to see how much the quality has gone down.

It's my first time ever in an Applebee's. My bestie convinced me because they always go to Applebee's to celebrate the big things. We are celebrating them. I liked the ambiance and art on the walls. It's quite spacious. Food took way too long. But other than that, food was decent. Steak isn't worth the price. But the 2 for $25 was pretty worth it. There are no codes for the bathroom and they're clean. Unfortunately they're binary and not even single stall. The saddest thing is we asked for a to go box but it is taking even longer than waiting for the food for the box. My bestie about to just finish all the food to avoid needing a box.

Was seated right away, got packed really quickly. Our server was nice and helpful. The spinach and artichoke dip wasn't up to par as it usually are. Ordered boneless chicken wings which was cold inside. Wasn't cooked all the way through. The bourdon chicken and shrimp 6.5/10, the blacken tilapia was 7/10. Drinks was flat, the reason I give a 4 star was because they allowed me in with my dog which was in a bag.

This was what they gave us and labeled DOUBLE CRUNCH SHRIMP- THE AUDACITY!

My family and I celebrated grandparents day at this location. My husband and I ordered the double crunch shrimp and was presented with what looked like "cheesedoodles or embyos". The waitress Shellyann was an absolute doll and was very attentive to our table. 0 stars for the double crunch shrimp and 5 stars to the waitress. CHANGE THE WAY YOU PRESENT DOUBLE CRUNCH SHRIMP!!!

We came in on a Sunday with a 40 min wait time, but it wasn't bad, there's plenty of places to shop at. Our waiter was Obress and OMG he was awesome. He was very friendly and accommodating, he was a cousin IYKYK.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip and chips and complimentary Thanksgiving champagne.

I came here for Thanksgiving last week. Yes, it's odd to go to a chain restaurant for a Thanksgiving meal, but don't judge. I worked the next day and didn't feel like cooking and it was one of the few places open. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience! Shocked the heck out of me. This was my first time at this Applebee's. Saw that it had a very low rating so I wasn't expecting much. Walked in with my mom and it was decently filled up. The staff was pleasant and the place was clean. Our server was attentive and sweet. They had a special Thanksgiving Day meal for $16.99 which included turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans, a slice of pumpkin pie, and a glass of champagne. Before the meal came out, we had the Spinach and Artichoke Dip. We usually get that when we come here. It's always good. The chips were very greasy, though! For a drink, I had the specialty cocktail called Tipsy Reindeer. Vodka, cranberry juice, passion fruit, and lemon sour. Topped with a Santa gummie. It was so good, huge, and only $6! The food came out really fast. Everything was fresh and delicious. The mashed potatoes were real red potatoes and not the powdery, boxed stuff. Real cranberry sauce. Not the canned nastiness. Fresh green beans. They also brought out the slices of pumpkin pie with the meal. That's when it started to feel like they were rushing us. I mean, I get it. It's Thanksgiving and you want to be home. I don't like pumpkin pie and they had no substitutions so I just took it to go. We were checked on multiple times during our meal, which was nice, but also a bit annoying because I always had food in my mouth when we were asked if "everything is good". All in all, we had a pretty good experience. I would like to come back and try this place out on a non-holiday to see the vibe then. I didn't use the restroom facilities but you need a code to get in. The waitress will give it to you. $60 for a Thanksgiving meal for 2 people with drinks and appetizers is a great deal.

I enjoy coming to Don Tequila it's a great neighborhood spot with great prices and deals…read more Service is always friendly and humble. The food is delish and well presented Drinks are yummy but could always use some more liquor. Parking in the area is tough and you don't need a reservation. There's indoor and outdoor seating And hookah :)

I'm a big fan of Don Tequila, I've been a few times and I'm never disappointed!…read more Nowadays $14 drinks are pretty standard for the Forest Hills area, but the cocktails here are strong and tasty and worth the price. My favorites are the Tiki Colada, which is sweet with a red wine float, and the El Picosito, which is smoky and delicious. The margaritas and mojitos are cheaper and come in a few different flavors - these are also $7 during happy hour. The food is better than you'd expect for a bar. My absolute favorite is the grilled octopus appetizer, which is perfectly cooked every time. They have the classic Mexican staples (tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, fajitas), and the fish tacos and steak enchiladas are my favorite. The mango salmon and conchinita pibil are also great if you want something a little special. The tortilla soup with chicken is also way underrated, it's hearty, smoky, and perfectly seasoned - I've ordered this to go several times when I was home sick. Prices are pretty standard for Forest Hills, and the happy hour deals are a great value if you want the basics a little cheaper. The space itself is pretty big, and it accommodates large parties or smaller groups. The decor is cute, and there are several TVs always showing different games. As several other reviewers have mentioned, it does get pretty loud in here, especially when they have DJs there on the weekends. It's a matter of preference for sure, so to avoid it I usually go during the week or earlier on the weekends (as in I try to be out by 7pm on Friday-Sunday). This is perfect for me, as the regular playlist is pretty good and I usually catch the happy hour deals. The service is friendly and quick, especially the waitress with the short bob. HOWEVER - sometimes they add an 18% automatic gratuity and sometimes they don't. I've noticed that they typically add it if you're sitting at the bar or during busier times, but I'm not sure if there's a clear rule on this. I get it - they work hard here and the servers don't want to get stiffed by folks who have had a few drinks. It's clearly stated on the receipt, so it's not like they're trying to hide the charges. Either way, make sure that you double check the first receipt that they give you when they bring the check, since the final receipt (the standard one where you sign and tip) isn't itemized. Don Tequila is a reliable neighborhood spot, with great food and drinks. There are ways around most of the things that other reviewers have complained about. I'm happy to have them nearby, and I'll be back soon!
