It has been a long while since I went to an Applebee's, but went along with friends after attending an annual festival in the area. At the time we got there was late at night. On this visit, we spent more time chatting than eating, because we were all full at the time. However, I did get a chance to taste their Chocolate Mousse Dessert Shooter. It had decadent Oreo cookie pieces, chocolate mousse, hot fudge and whipped cream ($2.29). If you like mousse it is great for you, but don't expect cake at the bottom, as I did because at the time I ordered I did not fully read the description. It was very creamy and rich and so I only ate half, which is not a whole lot considering it is in a shooter glass. Our waitress on this visit was Constance and she was very bubbly and pleasant. She told us about checking out the place on Sat and we did. So, on my second visit to this location, this time I decided to eat something, nothing big (plus we had a different waiter than the previous night). I ordered the Quesadilla Burger, topped with their signature Mexi-ranch sauce and sprinkled with crisp bacon pieces, freshly-made pico de gallo and shredded lettuce and packed into a Jack and cheddar quesadilla ($9.99). Picture ground beef in a pita bread and it came with fries. It was okay - I did not get a wow factor as I ate it. If I am in the area again, I will certainly come back, but mostly to have Constance as my waitress only. read more

Everything here is passable. Fine but not excellent. Service is fine. Cleanliness is fine. Atmosphere is fine. Food is fine. I'm not sure what happened here in the past. Maybe bad management? It used to be a busy place with a lively bar. Now, it's just kind of quiet and slow. I wish it was a little more lively... maybe it will be one day. Not sure. But as of now, it's fine. You can grab lunch there and it's... fine. read more

Took a long time to get our order. Had to send the burger back. The bacon was so burnt and the top bun was ice cold for some reason. We also had to cancel a chicken sandwich since everyone else (other than me since I returned my burger) was finishing their meal and that one was still "being prepared". Not a good experience at all. read more

Food is okay But I went there and they couldn't get a single baseball game on their TV at the bar It's practically UnAmerican They only have direct TV and 4 different games were blacked out. Don't go there to watch baseball The really frustrating part was that before sitting down for a drink and dinner I asked if they could get the games I wanted to watch and they told me they could get them read more

Just stopped in for lunch with the wife while running errands. Emily, behind the bar, was great. Quick service. Good food. Had the burger that comes in Queso. Very tasty. Both the burger and the queso. The only issue with this place, is the facility. It's old and needs a remodel. Mismatched ceiling tiles. Old nasty looking ceiling tiles. Ceiling tiles with obviously evidence of water leakage. And the bathrooms are disgusting. Corporate, upgrade this location! read more

A little disappointed. This is usually 1 of my goto restaurants when I come home. This time the spinach and dip and tortillas were not good. The tortilla chips tasted burnt and the dip didn't taste fresh. My Cesar side salad had no croutons and I had to give it back to the server to add croutons. However, my riblets and onion rings were good. read more

My boyfriend and I came in a couple weeks ago and sat at the bar. The bartender Anna was awesome! She served our food promptly and the drinks were the best I ever had! I got my wings fried like I asked for and the quesadilla burger and wonton tacos were delish! read more

We had a great experience. Food came, drinks alwayz full. Waitress was kind. Clean place. Food was great.

Terrible service, all waiters and manager (with the red shirt) were sitting around on tables just chatting and cursing up a storm loudly. I'm an adult and wasn't with children, so I let it go. But I was sitting for a while and was not served once or told how long a waiter would come, the waiters were annoyed that I kept looking at them sitting down as I was confused when we can order and continued with their conversation while all cursing loudly including the manager. Horrible customer service. Wish I can post an audio on here from how bad it was. It wasn't even busy, only three other tables in that entire establishment was taken. Never again read more

From start to finish my most recent experience was HORRIBLE!!! Not a soul seated me I had to seat myself. I sat in a young lady named "Dee's" section. Worst decision I've made in 2024. She was high. Her service was minimal. Her attention span was short lived. Her accuracy was completely off. Her attitude was absolutely atrocious and she added food onto my order that I didn't ask for. The wings were very chewy and gummy like textured. But I'm not here about the food. Whoever the GM is needs to discipline her because her respect levels are very low. Because the young lady who was the manager last night honestly seemed like she could care less about anything I had to say. Her service skills are under par. And she's combative with patrons. I come into this place frequently and spend money here weekly but with that service I'm not sure this is actually the place to be anymore. read more

You have got to be kidding me, I'm in the Applebees and the service is unbelievably slow, but the kicker is ain't that many people in the restaurant. My grandson food came out, mines came out almost 30 minutes later. I didn't say anything, glad my little guy was eating. We didn't get a follow up or anything after the food was finally brought out. I ordered a dessert, my grandson wanted his own dessert after mines came out, well she never came back to check and was bringing the check. I had to call the restaurant while seated in the restaurant to get service and still no service. I asked for the manager, 15 minutes I'm still waiting. I paid my check and left. Do better please. read more

I went here with my 3 kids and everything was fine at first until the guy who was Serveing us just left to go bartend and all we had was our drinks so we waited about 20 minutes and that guy was still bartending so we asked another server if she could take out order and she told us "oh ok sure let me ask the guy if its ok to take your guy's order" and she left to and never came back so after another 10-15 ?minutes we decided to just leave, I don't recommend going to this place. read more

First of all, I ordered from this place last night. I got 2 separate orders for myself and my boyfriend. He was terrified when he found a piece of metal in his food!!! I don't even understand HOW this happens but he had to throw away his food. Btw, this was ordered for him to eat during his overnight watch so I am highly disappointed. Secondly, my food wasn't much better. I had a chicken Alfredo which the chicken was just barely cooked. The pasta itself had no flavor. It's like they didn't even add sauce. I am just so disappointed but I feel like I am too nice to give one star. read more

The staff are always friendly to my husband and I and the food is pretty good for what you're paying for. We only come during happy hour because there appetizers are half off. Our table was sticky when we were seated but once asked the staff moved us over to a different booth and cleaned off that table after reseating us. read more

I truly try to seek out the positive aspect in every experience that I encounter, so it was really difficult for me to give this rating, especially during such a difficult time. My family and I came to Applebee's for an early dinner. We sat at our table for 10-15 minutes before our drink orders were taken and since it took so long to get service, we decided to place our orders as well. There were 5 people, so I understand it can be a bit much and maybe overwhelming for a server, but the server ensured us he got it. When the orders were put in, we still waited another 10 minutes for our drinks to get there. Patience is a virtue so big deal... We ordered two appetizers - the barbecue boneless wings and the mozzarella sticks and for entrees we ordered three bourbon chicken n shrimp; the oriental chicken salad; and the chicken fajita bowl (originally explained as a wrap). The food came out at random times, but relatively quickly. My aunt got her main entree before the apps even came out. Since it was a bowl and bit a wrap, she requested tortilla shells and it took 18 mins for her to receive them. Our bbq wings originally came out cold and with no dip or serving plates, so we decided to send them back for hotter ones. Some of the main entrees were brought out during this time and the saving grace of this experience was that the main dishes actually tasted really delicious. However, my salad was the last to come out (20ish minutes after everyone received their meals) and came out with the dressing on it when I requested it be put on the side. Luckily, I had the boneless wings to snack on and shared some of the bourbon chicken n shrimp meal. They took the salad back and decided to replace it as well (second dish sent back). Finally got a dessert - the apple crumble. The dessert came out on a hot skillet and was piping hot...but it was missing the ice cream! We informed the server and he was unsure if it came with ice cream (it does), so told the kitchen. After another 5 or so mins, the waiter brought out the ice cream. It seemed as though there was a lot of miscommunication between servers and the kitchen staff. Granted our server forewarned us that he was new, but I truly do not blame him for most of the hiccups. Some fixes will come with more hands on experience, but the most disappointing thing to me was that I saw the manager sitting in the corner doing nothing during our whole meal experience. If you find several meals being sent back to the kitchen and don't have any concern or care about it, then it makes me wonder if an experience like this is normal functioning or will appropriate structure be put into place to make proper changes for success. read more

Service was terrible. Place was dirty. Table was sticky. Felt like we are forgotten about. Food was terrible. Chicken tenders were small and barely any chicken. Nacho chips were overly salty. Just a bad experience. Went a few months ago also and just had the same experience. Was hoping to have a better experience thisngo around. read more

Took over an hour to get our food. The server did not check in with my friend and I. The shark bowls were very watery and did not have a gummy in them. The food was bad. The service is usually good, but today they really slacked and had no regard for their customers. read more

I actually enjoy Apple Bees at this location. The service is not bad and the drinks are great. I only have 1 complaint. My daughter is a senior in college and is from Virginia. She came here to visit during break. We got there right before Happy Hour ended. She shows her ID. This is where my issue comes in. The waiter explains he cant use her ID because its vertical. Never attempts to look at the date. This was the first time this has happened. After 5 mins of asking him to check the date (he is clearly having a hard time doing math in his head) he accepts it and gets her drink. If this is their policy because it has never been enforced before, it needs to be published on the door, wall, etc. Granted at 22 she clearly looks 15 however I wanted to celebrate the fact she made all As this semester.. Again, never had a bad experience here but this incident through me for a loop. read more

Its Applebees. You get what you get. The Karoke night is hilarious and the drinks are cheap and cold.

Usually when I come here I'm greeted right away and have a great experience. Today was the worst experience I've encountered here. It took 20 minutes for someone to greet us and get our drink order and food order. It took over an hour for our food to come out and we only ordered appetizers. Keep in mind there was only maybe 5 other tables in the restaurant. By the time the wings came out they were dried up from sitting in the back and the celery was dry as paper. The serve came and checked on us 2 times. That was it. To get our drink order and then to drop off the food and then never came back. Not happy at all with this visit. read more

The food was delicious. I ordered a bourbon Swiss mushroom burger with fries and my girlfriend ordered chicken Alfredo with broccoli. We ordered some drinks as well. After reading some other reviews and noticing myself while there, the restaurant could use a bit of a "deep" clean. The service we received was great. Our waiter Sharmayne was very kind and made sure we were well taken care of. 8/10 would visit this establishment again. read more

My wife and I decided to go to Applebee's tonight for dinner. We selected the dinners for two $25 range. My wife ordered shrimp and chicken and I ordered the sirloin steak. The waitress was very nice and helpful during the meal. But, the sirloin steak meal was a little difficult to eat. I thought at first the knife was too dull to cut the meat then I decided it wasn't the knife it was the meat. I had found the toughest ligament I could have found in any piece of meat. I am not sure a beaver could have cut the meat. I tried cutting on the other end of the meat and it too was tough. The manager came by and attempted to neutralize the situation. But the meal was ruined. The meal was a disaster. I left the waitress a ten dollar tip for all the trouble. I know it wasn't her fault read more

Absolutly horrible. Two of the three orders at our table were missing. Service was ok, and when we talked to the manager about the food, she actually blamed us for not communicating exactly how we wanted it to the server. That's not our job, it's your menu and food. Never again! I can see by reading all the reviews that by far I'm not the only one that has experienced this. Management needs to be fired and bring a crew in that either knows how to manage a restaurant or gives a crap at the least. read more

Service was good, but the place was dirty and the food Meh. The Meh on the food could have just been the feeling of how dirty the place is. Needs a serious deep cleaning, new carpet etc. I would compare to a worn-out truck stop in the middle of nowhere. read more

I was at Applebee's yesterday. I did an online order where the menu had its alcoholic beverages still on it. When I arrived to pick up my meal they wouldn't give me the drink because they had stop making to go drinks. They should have updated the online menu read more

The only reason why I even gave a star is because the garlic mash potatoes and broccoli were delicious, but my salmon was over cooked and dry. Couldn't even eat it! read more

On a road trip for Arizona and we stop apple bees one of our favorite restaurants and the service snd food was excellent Bre thankful

Dining room was empty. Food was brought out wrong twice. Fries were Cold. Server was polite but never around to refill drinks, had to ask for napkins 30 minutes after food came out. Several parties were being over served alcohol, loud and obnoxious cursing and yelling a cross the restaurant. No manager in site to put a stop to it all. One guy at the bar was standing and drinking. Swaying back and forth. This place is more like a dive bar than a restaurant. read more

Tried the south west salad and the forever store version for 4.99 is better! I do not know what it was but it was not south west, service slow read more

I rarely come to this restaurant but today I did. When we came in, we were seated very quickly and awkwardly. The server was polite and got us drinks. Here's where the problem was..The cups were filthy. The inside and outside had little multicolored flakes and particles. To add to damage there was also dirty plates, shell on my shrimp and no napkins over here looking like messy 12 year olds!!!! The actual food was pretty tasty. We would give the overall experience a 5 out of 10. read more

With all the recent changes that Applebee's has made, they seemed to be heading in the right direction. I have gone there several times in the past few months, and was pleasantly surprised with the new food options. However, today was a totally different story. My wife and I stopped in for lunch today. The place was not very busy at all. There were about 10-12 other tables with people there, so I figured it would be a fairly quick lunch. Not so fast. !!! let's start with our waitress, Jessie. I don't think you could have had a more apathetic server if you tried. We saw her when she got our drink, or food, and our receipt. Basically, we rarely saw her. Whether it was to ask for another drink, or an update on when our food would be ready, she was nowhere to be found. But lets just leave this where it is, not so good. Now the food....... I ordered the southwest steak salad with the steak cooked rare. What I got was a sad looking hunk of meat, with little to no char or cook marks on it, that looked like it was cooked slowly in a frying pan. But the worst part, was that the steak was COLD when I got it. Could I have sent it back, yes.... but I rarely do that for several reasons. One, it took 40 minutes to get the food in the first place, and I didn't want a reheated "steak". The other one is because my lunch hour was about up, and I didn't know how long it would take to get a hot steak cooked right. So I just ate it and moved on. As far as the restaurant itself goes, it could have been better. I was dodging flies for about 20 minutes as they dive bombed my table. In addition, the speaker directly over our head played as much static as it did music.... Very annoying. I have to admit, I was very disappointed with Applebee's this time around. Not sure how often I'll be back. Either way, take this review for what it's worth..... not much. read more

I will never visit this location again. I ordered the steak with shrimp parmesan with loaded mashed potatoes and greens beans. the steak came out cook longer than I ordered and the shrimp Parmesan was gross. it came with broccoli. NOT what I ordered. the waitress was so high she could harldley function. this is the second time I have been there with the same waitress. both times high as a kite. they need to get it together due to it being a FAMILY restauran. read more

It says they open at 11am and when we tried to come in at opening hour, the door was still locked. If they aren't ready, maybe they should change the opening time!! read more

We were here last Wednesday lunch time Excellent service, courteous staff who seemed real happy to have us, and food was great. Will always return ,, read more

The food is terrible. Think frozen appetizers cooked in an oven/microwave and the left out until they were back to room temp. Happy hour deals and service are good but the cook staff give Zero f&@ks. Normally Applebees makes a good lunch or happy hour stop but this place is a disgrace. Even the chips and salsa appetizer sucked. Really? If you are looking for more than drinks you will probably be disappointed. read more

Great service, great location, delicious food! Highly recommend. They are doing a great job during COVID also; I always feel safe when dining! read more

Usual chain, busy at dinner, weird "section" cut-offs that put us in our "NEW" waitress "blind-spot"(?). Took 20 mins before our drink order was taken; rushed off and we were ready to order food by then-so another wait. Dropped off the drinks and ran off again-WITHOUT OUR FOOD ORDER-again. Once she came back the THIRD TIME, she had to come back a FOURTH TIME, to verify my sides, which are standard and not 'choices'. Food is mediocre, started off on a bad note with a HUGE delay in service-maybe I should submit this review later if my mood improves...because it seems this place will make no attempt to improve my mood, unless ACCIDENTALLY. Applebee's on Miramar Way deserves one star, but I gave it a second star only because we used a $25 gift card and the meal seemed a better deal-everything considered. read more
