Stopped in on the way home from a day of fishing on the lake. The good: Seated immediately, and the server was excellent. The not good: The food. Order the two for 25 deal. We both had salads and they were okay. The chicken parm on alfredo for both of us...yuck! Maybe next time don't serve food that tastes like it was kept in a warmer for something like a week and a half...or longer. Dry, crunchy, stale...ugh. The noodles were clumped together by a sauce that was more Elmer's glue than Alfredo. Yuck. read more

The service was good and the food was what you would expect at an Applebees. It is just a basic chain restaurant that doesn't do anything to stand out. read more

See all

Atmosphere has improved considerably, and service is excellent! Food is delicious and there's plenty on the plate! Keep up the good work, Applebee's! read more

This Applebee's is very consistent and is crowded on a daily basis. The $1 drink of the month is always popular and they never change menu items too drastically-- they stick to the classics people love. I recently came here and had the new loaded chicken fajitas. The price was comparable to fajitas at a Mexican restaurant, but these fajitas were on a bed of rice and topped with queso and bacon. The meal came with 4 tortillas, along with shredded cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole. Some of the peppers and onions weren't as warm as I'd like, but I'd give this dish another try. read more

Waited for 25 minutes for a table with 8 empty tables open in sight from the door!! Terrible service the rest of the way thru the meal!!!

I showed up to meet with my friends a little late and the waitress ignored me and didn't realize I showed up. The manager checked on the table and then asked me why I didn't get anything and said that I must have been on a diet and avoiding the freshman 15. Worst service I've ever received! read more

Love applebees. The food is delicious, I love the spinach artichoke dip. Service is amazing our waitress Bri is so kind and the cutest thing

The service was good but the food was sub-par, I came here with a friend and we both noticed a rapid decline in the food since this Resturants grand opening. The staff are friendly and accommodating but it just doesn't make up for the poor quality of the food. Our pomegranate iced teas tasted like sugar water. When our appetizers arrived they were over-cooked and gummy. The entrees were no better. My friend ordered the bourbon street steak, medium well. It was rare and the potatoes were underdone as well. I had the wedge salad and it was horrible! The lettuce was wilted and limp, it had almost no dressing, bacon or blue cheese. We paid $50 for a terrible meal. I was very disappointed because This Resturant had such a strong start and then declined so quickly. Please consider getting a new cook. read more

I should have listened to the reviews on Yelp. I figured how bad can an Applebee's really be? This is a new restaurant, about a year old. While it is nice inside that is where the good ends. The service was very very slow. We waited a good 10 min for a waitress to take our drink order. We never saw her again until our food came out. I had the steak whisky grill with onions, peppers and mushrooms. The steak flavor was horrible and I could tell if it was seasoning or the butter they put on it. It was not tender and had gristle taste. The grilled vegetables came out like mush nothing grilled about them. My wife had a grilled chicken salad while it was not horrible she said it had little flavor. I tasted her chicken and she was right. We were just passing through Ebensburg, I suggest you pass on by the Applebee's if you come through. BTW they charge $1.99 to play trivia in the bar area. Really! read more

Good food! Great service! Nice atmosphere! Plenty of parking! Ask for Megan to be your server! She is a sweetie! Enjoy a drink! Nice non- alcoholic drinks, too! You read more

I would most definitely consider myself a regular at this particular Applebee's. At this point, I know most of the waitstaff and bartenders. I've always had good service here. Sometimes I think the bartenders could use a few courtesy lessons, but over all, they're not too shabby. When I come here, I know what to expect, and I know the quality of food I should receive. As far as food goes, this place has never let me down. I'm a fan of their late night half price appetizers. Nothing better than leaving with a full stomach and a low bill! :) This Applebees does have trivia nights, but I'm not the biggest fan of their trivia emcee. read more

KK brings this Applebees into 2021... Covid has been hurting all bars. But KK is what all bars should strive for. She has been making sure everyone at the bar and surrounding tables are taking care of. If there is anyone at this location that hustles, KK is it! read more

I'm a fan. On Sept. 26 at 2PM, I stopped in and both my GF and I received a lunch that was a little lackluster. My riblets were not hot and her steak was a bad cut and overcooked. We told the waitress and the manager came out to speak with us personally. They made us two new meals and offered us a little something for the inconvenience. (I'm not saying what was done by the manager for us because I don't want anyone to have that expectation. I'm sure they treat everyone on a case by case basis.) Anyway, after the fix, things were top rate and the server was so nice. The food was great. Yes, I wish the first round had been perfect but how a restaurant handles things like this says a lot. I would have given them 5 stars if the first meal had been prepared like round two. I would not be afraid to go back. They really seem to care about the customers. read more

Love this Restaurant. The Manager went above and beyond to make sure my meal was in guidelines with my Daniel Fast. They always are so polite and curteous to all customers. We so enjoy the service and the atmosphere here. Thank you all very much for making this a great experience for us..... read more

I travel 2.5 hours for a business meeting at least once a year- its where I went to College so I meet up with College friends- we have been coming for a couple years now this last month was no exception. I don't think it was overly crowded we were we welcomed to stay well over 2 hours, eating, drinking and catching up. The waitress, Sabrina ( I believe ) came often it may have been bothersome only because we took a break in gabbing to respond to her, but honestly she was just doing her job. The Manager also stopped to make sure that everything was doing well. The meal was good, the drinks kept coming, I ordered a Tex Mex Lime shrimp bowel. Its spice which if I known how spicy most likely I wouldn't have gotten it but one good think it cleared any congestion I may have had. We got dessert it was yummy and it was really bad for my diet ( my ww points), but its once a year. read more

Our server needed a hug! Not from me! But, you know....someone. Maybe she just knew what was to come. Maybe, just maybe, her eyes were trying to warn me. I guess we will never know... We ordered chips and salsa. We received a half-empty plate with what appeared to be what was left from the bottom of the bag & I assume that a new bag could not be found? If it were "bottomless" chips, I would shamelessly inhale the crumbs on my plate and politely ask for round two! And it should be bottomless, because it was $4.00, the price of two full bags at the grocery store. Our entrees did not seem to be hot or fresh. I am fully aware that this is Applebee's and my expectations are fully in check; however, "heat n' serve" does not have to coincide with poor quality. After all, fried food can still be cooked right, taste good, at a low cost. It is a nice/clean place, but I certainly cannot justify paying for an "atmosphere" at a chain. Simply put: fast-food quality at restaurant-prices. read more

The food was delicious! However I ordered 4 bourbon chicken and shrimp and we got 4 garlic chicken and shrimps! Which was delicious too but was disappointed to not get the right sauce. Definitely going back to there yummy Alfredo instead! read more

Ok so this Applebee's not fine dining. You do know what you are getting when you pull into the lot. And what I expected when I showed up while traveling with three kids is exactly what we got. I wasn't expecting fine dining. I wasn't expecting amazing complex meals or gourmet recipes. I basically wanted a step above fast food while we took a break on our trip. And that's exactly what we got. I couldn't be happier. Nice service. Happy kids. The kids fit right into the restaurant and nobody was bothered. Our food was exactly what was described on the menu. Simple, American style meals. Again, let's be real this is Applebee's. It was exactly what the kids needed and wanted. A place to relax happily and munch on ridiculous amounts of ranch dressing soaked French fries and chicken fingers. While sucking down drinking that are perfectly covered in cups that are made spill proof with lids & straws and crayons have been provided for their entertainment. Hey Applebees may have some people turn their nose up at for not being the trendiest place but my kiddos were left feeling happy and satisfied. Our server was a delight. Their meals were prompt. Their dipping sauces flowed freely! And that's what's important. read more

After reading the other reviews I kind of want to smack some of the people that reviewed this place. It's kind of sad that people aren't allowed to post a review about their experience without someone else coming along and trying to negate what that person said. To give this place a five star review solely because it had such negative reviews is not a review. You came in here either because you are an employee trying to tip the scales in your favor or you never visited the place to write an educated review. Now, since I got that out of the way I'm going to step down off my soapbox and give you my review for my experience here. First and foremost I am going to tell you I am not a fan of Applebee's, I may have been in the past, but as I matured I found that I favor more locally owned restaurants, whether they be "pizza pub fare" (whatever that means) or not. I'm not a fan of chains, and guess what, I'm allowed to have that opinion. The only reason I came here is because my family decided we would all go out to eat. I agree with a lot of what others were saying, the food here is sub-par. You can tell that it's put together rather fast and without much care. Let me tell you about my meal. I should have stuck with what I always get when I visit a chain restaurant, chicken fingers, you can rarely mess that up, unless you are Chili's. But after looking over the menu I decided that I would try the Four-Cheese Mac + Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders. Not too far off of what I usually get and when you pair it with mac n cheese it kind of sounds amazing. This dish, when looking at the accompanying picture, sounds amazing. Creamy looking mac n cheese, crispy pieces of bacon and chicken tenders that are a bit saucy. However what I got was misrepresented. The base of this dish is the mac n cheese, made with four cheeses, but where was the cheesy flavor? The bacon, more rubbery than crisp. And the chicken tenders had just a touch of sauce. I'm not quite sure how they are to have coated these chicken tenders with the sauce, but they did a horrible job at it. In my head I thought that maybe these chicken tenders would have been tossed in a bowl with the sauce all around it and then added to the mac n cheese. What I got was the chicken tenders placed on top of the mac n cheese and then the sauce kind of dumped on the plate, missing just about every inch of chicken. Normally I wouldn't complain, big whoop, but this sauce, in large amounts, overpowered everything else on the plate. It drenched the pasta, hid the cheesy flavor and might have been the culprit as to the rubbery bacon. Thank god I enjoyed the salad I had beforehand or I would have left there less full than I had thought. As for the service, I'm not sure if we confused our server because we had a big party, but she didn't seem enthused. She told us that it would be easier for her to split out checks instead of us being able to use the table top touch screens. Whatever. At the end of this visit, I was reaffirmed as to why I favor local restaurants more so than chains. read more

Family and I were celebrating a special occasion so we thought Applebee's. Honestly we thought the waitress forgot about us took forever to order, then when we did it took forever most of the food was cold!. So much for a celebration. Extremely disappointed!! Could not even get a copy of the check had to take a photo on my phone!! Then on the receipt 2 of the exact meals were different prices??!!! Super pissed!!! And forget about refills never got ask or even how food was!! read more

I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but Applebee's is definitely one of the better ones. My dad and I were in Ebensburg visiting family and stopped for a late lunch. Their lunch specials are $6.99 - $8.99, depending on which items you choose. You can choose any two items from their Classic or Signature menu, and you can choose from small selection of salads, soups, sandwiches, and lunch-portioned entrees. I had the Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders with Fries and the Fiesta Chicken Chopped Salad ($7.99). The portion was what I suspected for the price and the fact that it was a "lunch special". The fiesta chicken salad was all right, not a ton of flavor but definitely not bad. The chicken tenders were really good, great flavor and they gave you four medium sized tenders. My only real complaint is that it could have had more fries. My dad got the Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders with Fries and the Three-Cheese Chicken Penne ($6.99), and he said that he was happy with both. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Also, the restaurant and bathrooms were clean for the most part. Only real complaint there is that it was after the lunch rush and the table behind my dad (that I was looking) sat un-bused for about 15 minutes after we sat down...not really appealing. It really wouldn't have been a big deal but, as I said, the place was not busy at all. Overall, not a bad stop. More of a 3.5 stars. I would definitely give this Applebee's another try when in the area. read more

Good food, fantastic service and such friendly staff. We were in a hurry and they kept things moving for us

Dog shit. Ordered a beer and the waitress brought me a margarita. Im a 45 year old man, if I wanna slam down a brew with the boys, that's what I'm doing. Absolutely dog shit read more

Always a very nice place to eat for a local chain. Not too pricey, always so friendly. The servers here are always super quick and kind. The food is sort of ordinary, nothing unusual for an Applebee's. Drinks are always cold and served correctly. Overall, a nice place to eat. read more

I just want to shout out to our server last night Natosha hoping her manager sees this. She had such a bubbly and bright personality that you don't see in many servers. If I go back again, I would definitely ask to have her as my server. read more

My favorite place to eat. 3 cheese penne! Servers are all great that have served me. Prices aren't bad!

I stopped into the Applebee's in Ebensburg yesterday afternoon at around 4:45 PM and was not impressed. My wife and I were two of three people sitting at the bar. The rest of the bar area was empty and there were only a few other tables with guests so the restaurant was not busy. The kitchen/wait staff was loud and we could be hear them joking around in the back from the bar area. My wife and I tried to use the Wi-Fi and neither could connect. We asked the bartender if it was down. He said he would check with the manager but never did. I later asked what he found out but he said he hadn't asked yet. By then it was too late, the meal was over. I had the fish and chips entrée which comes with fries, tartar sauce, and coleslaw. My wife got the cedar salmon with vegetables. The food took a long time to come out even though they were not busy. My food was marginally warm and my wife's vegetables were cold. I think it sat in the kitchen awhile before somebody ran it out. When it finally came, the fish was greasy, the fries were over seasoned, and they forgot my coleslaw. I asked the bartender and he said it did not come with coleslaw. I showed him on the menu that it did. It seemed as if he didn't know the menu. The manager later brought me the coleslaw which had a strange taste (maybe cilantro?). The bartender later said sorry that he did not bring out the food and didn't realize that they didn't bring me the coleslaw. When my bill came, it was wrong. He had charged me with higher priced beer so that had to be corrected. I'm giving this restaurant such a low rating because the service staff just didn't seem to care about the customer and the food was marginal. I don't plan to return anytime soon. read more

No service, not bad service just no service. Arrived on Sunday evening and got seated right away. Seated right smack dab next another couple. You know how they that do that 50 tables open and you get packed in so the server doesn't have to walk. The host gave us our menus and told us that our server would be right with us. After a few minutes the table that was seated next to us got refills on their drinks. This server did not acknowledge us so we figured that we were in a different section. After about 10 minutes another couple was seated at the table next to us. In a minute or so a different server came over and took their drink order. I tried to make eye contact and get her attention but she avoided us. In a few minutes she brought them their drinks again avoiding eye contact. So after a minute we decided to leave. On our way out the host thanked us for coming in. We thanked him for no service. Maybe at this point we should have asked to see the manager but we weren't going to stay. We were clean, showered and pleasant just a little hungry, so if you look like us and want something to eat I would avoid the Ebensburg Applebees because they have no service! read more

Let me first say, I'm not a fan of chains. However, when with company that prefers chains, I go with the flow. My two experiences at Ebensburg Applebee's were enough to remind me why I avoid chains though. The food was subpar, and both times my friend and I were seated next to families with screaming toddlers who made no attempt to quiet the kids. This was particularly annoying since there were plenty of other available tables in the place. I won't be back. read more

I like to support local businesses in Ebensburg but it is nice to eat something other than fast food and pizza, as options are limited in this area. For this being a chain restaurant in Ebensburg, the food has always been great along with the service. Nice calm atmosphere where you can have a nice family dinner. read more

The service is typically great. The kitchen is fast to fulfill orders. However, this isn't the place to get a good steak. Several times I have gotten a fat-filled steak that was tough as leather when it was to be medium-rare. The strawberry lemonade was on fleek tho! read more

Well went there for dinner, wife ordered steak asked for it to be med well. Came out rare. My food was salty, I ordered the beef brisket tacos. Stay away from those. But made it really bad was the bartender screaming at a waitress to pick up a frozen drink. He didn't scream once but multiple times. It was not a family atmosphere more like a college bar an a bad college bar at that!! read more

There is burger night on Monday and trivia night on Wednesday. Of all the Applebee's I have been to, this is by far the cleanest and most contemporary. Staff is also very helpful and if ebensburg was New York City then Applebee's is times square. read more

This was terrible it took forever for us to get our food, and Fran oh god she was terrible at her job, but at least she's nice.

Typical chain microwaved food. Staff is par. If you want an good exspierence while in Ebensburg, go to Off the Rak. Only a mile down the road and much better quality food and service. read more

If you like your food to either be wrong or apps to come out after your dinner this is the perfect Applebee's for ya.

Good food but poorly managed and wait on food is ridiculous!!! Not worth it keep moving...
