Chain food. I usually avoid chains- there are some exceptions and this is one that I would go to in a pinch. I had been without power for about a week and really, really wanted something that wasn't out of a can- and Applebee's was open and serving hot food - perfect. I was veggie deprived so I ordered up a storm of food plus extra sides of veggies because my poor body just couldn't take any more peanut butter and tuna fish... The bartender was there when needed, the food came out exactly as described in the menu and the prices were moderate- perfect and left me in the frame of mind to go back again - but then I got power. So, one of the better chains, the place is a little too family oriented for me, but the food was fine as were the beers. Parking all around. read more

Had dinner here after my 4 year old nephew chose Applebee's for his bday dinner. Decent food for your typical chain restaurant. They accommodated our large party which included four children. Our waitress provided great service, was friendly, and kindly allowed us to have three separate bills. The only negative was that although our table was pretty far from the front door, every time the door opened we felt a rush of cold air. Luckily we had sweaters to try and stay warm! For appetizers we ordered, fried string beans, boneless wings with Asian sauce, mild buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and pretzels sticks. Everyone enjoyed everything. I liked the appetizers at Applebee's better than when I had the sampler platter at Millers Ale house which is right across the street. For entree the kids had meals from the children's menu. Pizza with a side of apples and yogurt dipping sauce. The pizza looked dried out an unappetizing. Thumbs down! Two of the kids ordered Mac and cheese, one with a side salad. Standard Mac and cheese, nothing special. The third child had chicken fingers with a side of yogurt. It came with three tiny and overcooked looking chicken fingers. Not very appealing. Three adults ordered the cowboy burger. Everyone was satisfied, and they were cooked to order. I liked the choice between three different types of French fries (regular, bbq flavored, and sweet potato). I was pleasantly surprised that my burger tasted better than average. For dessert we all had the cheesecake that was fried in a tortilla and topped with apples, ice cream and caramel sauce. It was good, not mind blowing bit good! Overall, I was surprisingly pleased with our dinner at Applebee's. read more

Appetizer sampler was mostly cold, we tried the Halloween drinks which were gross. Very syrupy & sweet. My steak was okay but my husband couldn't eat his ribs. I've never seen him return food ever. Our sever (Perla) was barely present. No napkins or sauce for shrimp given. Not worth the price. Terrible service & food. read more

I said I had a peanut allergy when ordering my food and they clearly ignored it because when I was eating my food I got an allergic reaction from cross contamination. So thanks for almost killing me! I don't recommend eating here if u hv an allergy because ur taking the risk of possibly dying! read more

Great food! We did car side go go and the manager brought our food out. She was quick, efficient, and friendly. Food was still warm upon getting home and the order was perfectly accurate! Probably because the girl on the phone taking our order was friendly, professional, and confirmed our entire order. I've been coming to the location for years. It's a great local lunch/dinner spot! read more

The service was so slow!! Our appetizers came out right away but our entrees took 45 minutes to come out. Not enough staff for this business. read more

Today I went here with my bestie, little brother, and grandma. The service was awful, and I have never ha d this bad of a burger. The MEAT was obviously cooked in lots of grease. The waiter (Kay) was yelling across the restaurant to other customers and employees. Dana, our other waitress did not know what we ordered and gave the kids meal to my grandma. She did not know which burger was which and ended up giving us raw burgers. It has also come to my attention that the bartender had no problem DRINKING Corana and then coming to our table and asking for our order. That must have been very embarrassing to the manager. If you, could give it a 0 star I would. read more

We came in on a slow Monday night. Were promptly seated but then nobody came to our table to even take a drink order for at least 10 minutes. I hit the little button on the table to Call Server. Almost another 10 minutes go by and still no one has come. Finally, the manager came over to check on us and by this point I was a little annoyed but tried not to show it. We all knew what we wanted so went ahead and ordered with him. The food and drinks came out shortly after and that was fine, but then nobody came back ever to check on us for anything. Once we were close to done, I hit the Call Server button again and this time, nobody ever came. So, we paid our bill and left. The food was fine but the service was absolutely terrible. You're better than that Applebee's! read more

Came here for dollar margaritas! The service was top notch and margaritas rolled on in quickly per request. We first shared a couple of tortilla chips with creamy spinach and a side of salsa - an all time favorite, you can't go wrong choosing this - and then enjoyed our main courses. I had a burger .. which I'm not sure on the name right now, but overall it was pretty good. Not mindblowly awesome on the flavor scale, but I was pretty damn hungry that day. My reasoning for the 4/5 is because of the solid level of service provided despite the place being swarmed with patrons. The staff handled things well delivered! read more

The wait times at this establishment are simply atrocious . My family and I have been waiting here for over an hour and the hostess hasn't even shown up yet. Applebees as a whole is a shame to the restaurant business and should be put out. I simply can not stand the service here anymore. read more

This evening, my husband and I went to Applebees in Commack. I have to say John our waiter and Manager Chrissy could not have been nicer to us. I highly recommend going to Applebees in Commack. The employees at Applebees are very nice, kind, and understanding. Thank you. - Kerri - read more

Disgusting food. Ordered chicken from here and it tasted like it was frozen chicken that you buy from the supermarket and all they did was heat it up, it was that bad. Never going to Applebee's again especially this location. Gross!! The fries were soggy and awful too. read more

Came in the other night and sat with Dana. She was so amazing. She really made my friends and I feel like we had been visiting her for years. Highly recommend coming to this location and asking to sit with Dana. read more

This will be my second review for this establishment. We signed up for there app and got a $5 coupon. We placed an order from across the street at the hotel and every time we order from this hotel they don't let us use the coupon for some reason. PLEASE FIX THIS! Also the people that work there have no clue how to deal with us customers!!!!! That's the worse part! read more

It seemed to be a quiet Saturday when we arrived at this restaurant for lunch. Our granddaughter loved the corn dog so much that we had to order another corn dog lunch for her. The Black Bean Soup was good as well. But the server, Nick, was excellent and made sure we were enjoying our stay. read more

Staff was fine, the food on the other hand tastes generic.. I'm pretty sure every Applebee's is like this; rating is based on food quality not staff. read more

Love it here! Super clean and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Love Isaiah, Rashawn, Chris, and Quintin, are excellent server/bartenders. The GM Jerry W Is always checking in making sure we are happy! Constantly recommend Commack Applebee's to our friends and family read more

Extremely polite and nice workers. Our waitress was apparently sick but so nice. Perhaps she should've taken a day off. Perhaps she couldn't. Food isn't the best and the drinks are terrible but it was nice visit. read more

Dined in a bar area booth. Felt like we needed boxing gloves if needed to go near the kitchen entrance. The yelling and apparent verbal fighting from certain employees, including the female bartender, happening in the kitchen made for a concerned experience. Totally unprofessional atmosphere. Bartender, who was our server, went from courteous to couldn't care less of the customer during the course of the meal. She really needed a sugar intake. read more

Jessica the waiter is super nice and helpful!! The food is also not bad :) 5/5 would recommend

One I must say the food was good and the service was great, but the place smelled like they were cleaning with ammonia I couldn't eat my food I felt like my food tasted like ammonia so much that I had to take my food to go! I was very upset. I don't think I'll come back for a while. I was smelling Ammonia for a few hours it was that bad. They're was one girl that was a bitch I should of got her name but she was a bitch. read more

My husband an I have not been to Applebees in years and decided to stop in for a quick meal. I should have known straight from the greeting that the mood was set....The young man seemed less than enthused that we were there and walked us to our table. Shortly after we were greeted by our waitress who also seemed like she didn't really want to be there. she took our drink and app order (two drinks one app) and left. about 10 mins later the wrong app comes out, we inform her, and she said yeah, i remember that sorry and put in the right one. 5 mins later the correct app comes out and she walks away (not taking our entree order) She disappears for 5-10 mins and we had to stop her to place another drink order and our entree order. We received our entrees in a timely fashion but the quality of food definitely inst what it used to be, and to put the cherry on top....we hear someone screaming and having a complete meltdown cursing at another employee in the kitchen. Everyone in the restaurant turned around to see what was going on. finally we were just so turned off by this whole experience we went to pay on the quick pay tablet and there was an extra drink and also the app we got in error still on the bill and had to wait for someone to notice the "call server" button was blinking to come fix it. Definitely will never go to another applebees....i have a feeling they will be out of business just as fast as TGI Fridays. Go to Chilis a bit west of here, the service and food is MUCH better. sorry for the very small tip, but i work very hard for my money and you should if you feel that you deserve more of a tip. Be attentive and give a shit. read more

Jessica is the best!! Also, the manager Isiah was phenomenal as well! Will definitely be back because of the service

Food above average for an Applebees. Service is very lack luster. Once you have your food, your sever disappears and good luck flagging another stuffer for a refill or let them be aware of a problem. Also you'll be waiting a long time to recieve your check. read more

I love coming here for dinner or for a late night snack. The boneless buffalo wings are definately my favorite. I also recommend the nachos, steak, chicken tenders, or the four cheese mac and cheese. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. No matter what I order it's always great! read more

When you were hammered after bowling at 1:30 AM who was there for you? APPLEBEES. This place the glimmering beacon of hope Ronald Reagan referred to in his farewell address. PS half apps is a big plus read more

Very poor quality food. The appetizer sampler is very salty. The steak was tough and the shrimp was tasteless. Price and service very mediocre.Save your money try other chains in the area. read more

We always do take out. They get the order wrong at this location. ALL THE TIME. Seriously?? Glad there's now another Applebee's within driving distance, cause we go there now. read more

You know what to expect when you're going to Applebee's. It's nothing mind blowing. I wouldn't go here if it wasn't for the half priced appetizers and twofers after 10 pm. That is is definitely worth it. Past that, the staff is friendly and attentive. It can be a fun night out with a few friends. read more

One of the few places in area to have late night dining options, closes at 1 am during week. 1/2 appetizers, and drink specials. Not the best but hits the spot with late night options in 11725 are which almost nill. Can also order off entire menu. Friendly Staff even at late hours. read more

Disgusting greasy chicken fingers after waiting 30 minutes for our meals in an empty restaurant. Hadn't been here in months and won't go back any time soon. read more

Aside from their pointless Curbside to Go rule after 9 p.m, this location is one of the better Applebees in terms of service. I've been coming here for years, the staff is attentive to the customers and are full of energy. The best time and worst time to come is during football games but it just makes the experience more exciting. read more

Oh Applebee's... Where to start?!? Half priced apps and twofers... Need I say more. The chicken nachos are awesome and that beer pretzel cheese appetizer is great as well. read more

Wonderful service, we had a fantastic waitress. Terrible food. Inedible steak, cold stale mozzarella sticks wilted salad. I could go on. We went on Valentine's Day, so they were a little busy, but still there is a standard. I won't be going back. Oh and weak weak drinks. read more

Service staff were not friendly. I can understand that the service staff do not clean the floor until the end of the night but tables and chairs have to be clean at the very minimum but apparently they weren't attentive enough for it. There was even flies on a table in front of the dirty one I sat at. Really disappointed because the Applebee's at Centereach was so much better. Service should be standardized and not sub-standard at various branches. read more

Service is very bad, food is Terrible! Double charge me tip on my gift card. Don't eat there!

I got dragged here by friends while out Christmas shopping in the area. It was an "off" time ( 2PM on a weekday), so parking was a snap. Nothing much doing customer wise, a few tables occupied, and three or four at the bar. Service was friendly and fast. My friends chose appetizers, which I did not try. I had a chicken dish that sounded good on paper. Grilled chicken with a garnish of apples, cranberries and walnuts. Chicken has a weird consistency, and gave an after taste much like cold cuts. I didn't feel that well for a short time afterwards. My friends ordered desserts, which they said were good. I had a cup of coffee, which was very good. Price was right, service good. I'm going to try not going to this place again. read more

I had some friends that went to this Applebee's and the experience they had wasn't good and the server and manger weren't very polite.

I mean, let's face it- this is Applebee's, you've been to one you've been to them all and they're all equally as average. However, the big draw in this neck of the woods is the fabled half-off appetizers, which is a fun thing to undertake with a big group of friends to mix and match. But be aware, the Commack location is the confluence of a wide slew of high schoolers from much of the surrounding area, and when caught at the height of half-off apps you may find yourself the oldest- and quietest- person in the room fairly quickly. And service may naturally slow down as a result, though in my experience they've been pretty well prepared. So have your fun, but be warned- it may get uncomfortable. read more

The food was great, They have Best burger out of the other similar restaurants like Chili's and Fridays. Our server was Dana who was very nice and friendly to us. She made sure our meals came out right, being very attentive to our table. All the employees from the host to the other servers were polite and friendly to everyone as well. I enjoyed the many tvs with different games to watch there and overall I prefer Applebees over the other casual dining places. read more
