    Happy hour
    Yasmin K.

    Our server David was prompt on taking our order AND bringing our drinks/appetizer on a Tuesday evening (8pm). Speaking English and Spanish was a common thing among all waiters. We ordered 2/$25 onion rings rings to share and 2 cheeseburgers We received our appetizer within 3 minutes. We had Kelly Clarkson playing on the background, but it didn't overpower the ambience. Tv screens in the front played sports. We decided on Perfect margaritas his was the original and mine the mango w Tajín rim (YUM) My husband gave the cheeseburger, fries and onion rings an 8.5/10 The drink was 10/10 I rate my burger, fries and onion rings 8/10 and my drink a 10/10 Total came out to: $56 w tax and tip 18% was a must. Service was incredible!

    Butcher's meat and potatos

    *** Pitstop Review (Calexico) *** This is a standard cookie-cutter Applebee's. That's not a bad thing in my opinion, but rather a good thing. There are times when I'm on the road and I just want something quick, easy, and familiar. I was actually in the mood for tacos, but I decided to be polite and allowed my co-worker to select this location for dinner. I had the butcher's meat and potatos. It was good, but it wasn't memorable. Here's what liked... * The cookie-cutter atmosphere and food made dining easy. * Everything was just as I'd expect it. * Safe and clean appearing parking lot even for late night dining. Here's what I didn't like... * The picture looked a lot better than what came out. * What came out was a tad bit smaller than how it appeared in the photos. * We were waiting around for some time at the front before anybody acknowledged us to be seated. ********************************* Food = so-so Seating area = very clean Service = friendly Restroom = clean

    I eat out a lot traveling in business and have ti give accolades to this Applebee's as being one of the top one's for fiid and service. Have eaten here 3 tines in past two weeks and all other places in Calexico that I ate at were a disappointment in comparison to this restaurant. Appetizers were great. Steak was cooked to perfection and burger was very good. Server tonight was fantastic - way to go Belinda you rocked.

    Spinach & Artichoke Dip

    My boyfriend just had a terrible experience here. We are a frequent Applebee's customers and we usually have never had much to complain about but the way manager Karla handled this was unacceptable. I created an online order of 2 Tex mex bowls(shrimp and steak) and spinach and dip artichoke appetizer. When my boyfriend had arrived, the food was taking substantially longer which makes sense as many restaurants are currently understaffed. I get that. He went ahead and called to let them know he was outside. They had brought the order but had forgotten the dip. My boyfriend went ahead and called again to let them know. When he received the dip, there was a chip inside the closed dip. Keep in mind, he had not touched it but there was a chip already in there. He went ahead and contacted the manager, Karla, and informed her of the situation. Karla did not want to acknowledge that this dip looked like it had been eaten even though there was a whole ass chip in there that didn't just look like it fell in. On top of this, we ordered a steak bowl and we got a chicken bowl instead.

    so this is how my medium rare steak came out, compared to the image I ordered to. dry, gray, it even smelled bad. note the wilted green beans as well. and the "garlicky" green beans and mashed potatoes had almost no garlic flavor. horrible meal

    Had a good experience everything was good!! Waitress Leonila was very friendly! Will come back here again!

    If I could give it zero star, I would. By far the worst food in my experience at an Applebee's. The service was mediocre, it was not too busy where the waitress could not keep up. Our order was incorrect and the waitress was nowhere to be seen. I had to go look for her. My kid finished his drink and again I had to request another. The food was another issue. My steak was so chewy I could not gulp it down, needless to say I couldn't finish it. The broccoli was raw. At first I thought I was exaggerating so my family members tried it, they agreed with me. Last but not least, I ordered a 4 oz steak for my nephew, when it arrived we noticed that the chicken wing was almost as big as his steak. It was a joke! Never coming back!

    This place was total crap. The food was sub par, and the service was shitty. Bypass this place and pick somewhere else.

    I loved the bacon smashed hatch chile burger. The problem with that is, it's inconsistent. The…read morefirst time I got it, it was amazing. Subsequent trips to wild wings I've ordered the same burger but it isn't as good. But I went again a week ago and the burger was fine so it kinda depends on which cook is working. I would have rated them 5 stars but due to inconsistency I had to rate them 4. I liked the fries and that burger is a 5 star burger when made right.

    I need everyone to gather 'round because what I'm about to say…read more.. hurts my soul, my spirit, and my taste buds. Today, I encountered chicken wings so offensively bad, so disrespectfully dry, so dramatically flavorless... that I'm convinced they were created out of pure hatred. Dry? These wings weren't dry -- they were ASHES with bones. I picked one up and swear it whispered, "please... let me go." Flavor? Nonexistent. Absent. Missing in action. Flavor filed a restraining order against these wings. Tasteless? Bro... these wings tasted like a broken promise. Like someone shouted "SEASONING!" across the room and nobody heard. And the price??? They charged me like these wings were raised on a private ranch, massaged daily, and read bedtime stories in three languages. But what I got tasted like they were cooked by someone who was actively beefing with chickens. I didn't just eat bad wings... I survived a culinary tragedy. A dramatic novela-level betrayal. I'm still waiting for the background music to kick in and someone to scream, "¡NOOOO, MARIO, NOOOOOO!" If these wings were a movie, they'd be rated F for "FAILURE." El Centro, be warned: Not all heroes wear capes... and not all wings deserve to exist. I understand this place never cared about customer service, but not serving horrible food like this . It's like they were old Wings from yesterday and got thrown into the fryer again today. Hey man, I work hard for my money and when we can we eat somewhere in town, but this was totally out of control as far as laziness and disregard for serving even a decent product
