I was here last night with my girl after a long week at work! We both got here around 1030p just in time for half off appetizers. To start we went straight for the alcohol and got sangria. The alcohol was just the right strength. Not weak, but not too strong either, just enough for you to enjoy and know that u paid good money for it! For Appetizers we ordered buffalo chicken wings, mozarella cheese sticks, chicken quesadillas, nachos with chili. My girl got chicken tacos on some sort of wonton shell. Food came out fast. They just forgot to bring the chicken tacos which pissed my girl off because its the only food she ordered and thats the food that they messed up on. Anyways, our waiter took forever to check up on us so that dropped the tip to 18%. Then he also took forever to bring the chicken taco that he forgot to take from the food warming lights. and to add insult to injury we were the last table he tended to out of the 4 tables he was waiting on esp since we asked for the friggin check 30 min ago. But being the nice guy that I am still gave this dude 18%. I let him slide because we werent really in any rush, plus he was probably having a bad day. I was happy with my food too. Overall, 3 stars because food is ur typical american food. Service was terrible but not the worst ive seen. read more

Why do people go to Applebee's? Because you know what to expect. You're gonna get your all american fanfare at a consistent and tolerable quality. The only thing you need to know about this Applebee's however is that... HALF PRICE APPETIZERS AND EVENING HAPPY HOUR STARTS AT 9PM! That's right... The famous half price appetizers that you knew and loved from high school start at 9pm at this Applebee's giving suburbia an extra hour to party. read more

Applebee's in Edison, NJ has been a local favorite for many years. It's one of our "go-to's" for a good menu and a relaxed time with family and friends. It is also a tradition for late night dinners after marching band competitions for the band members and parents. The burgers and sirloin steaks are always a good choice and the 2 for $20 is a bargain. a nice selection of appetizers and occasional changes to the menu are a good treat. We've eaten here dozens of times and the food has been consistently good. And the staff is always friendly as well. Highly recommended for lunch, dinner, late night eats, or if you want some bar time. read more

I like this Applebee's a lot. Always something going on here. Good bar scene and lots of TVs all around. Lots to choose from on the menu. Great appetizers and their 2 for $20 is really good if my wife would order something from it. Love her anyway. The 1/2 price appetizers after 10 is great both price wise and taste wise. If this place was on Oak Tree Rd instead of Chili's, I'd be here all the time. read more

I have had past bad experiences in other locations so was pleasantly surprised at this location me and my sister were running errands and stopped by for a quick lunch and sat at bar .The bartender was amazing great customer service and so friendly her name is Arielle she went out of her way to make sure everyone was well attended will definitely be back to this location. read more

Came in for a few after work drinks and it was quiet not to busy and the bartender payed attention to all of my needs. Not really an Applebee's fan but I gave this specific location a shot and they delivered. I will definitely come back again and sit at the bar. read more

Stopped in here with my mum on our way home from the New Jersey Paraunity Expo. My mum and I ordered the same thing. Barbecue chicken and shrimp with mashed potatoes and broccoli and onions. The shrimp and the chicken were disgusting and rubbery. To make things worse I found a hair in my chicken. Absolutely disgusting. I picked the hair up and threw it absolutely disgusted. I told the waiter and he went and got his manager. I told her how rubbery the food was and about the hair. They ended up not charging me for my meal. It tasted as if it was reheated a half a dozen times. Making the situation even worse I have gotten sick numerous times since I got home. I will NEVER be returning here. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the waiter was very nice and handled the situation properly. read more

Service has gone downhill at this location. My last two visits included an inattentive waiter and an slow kitchen. The food took about 40 minutes to come out and all the manager said was dropped off the food and a quick sorry. The Woodbridge Mall location is slightly better. There is some kind of management issue here, you can see the employees rushing around perhaps under staffed. R read more

UberEats- I oder the chili soup and boneless wings. Ok 1st of all why would you stick the costumers stuff inside the boneless wings now everything is sticky and have sauce all over it. Chili soup came in this real small container. Something you feed a child. Wing tasted good. The wings had Asian Sauce mild hot and spicy. Chili really wasn't soup like but more of really chili serving. It was ok. Not bad. read more

Great food. Quick Service. Friendly Staff. Can't say too much about this location. However, for the past two years they have always kept up to my, and my family's expectations. Nothing short of that. read more

Great spot for a chain restaurant. Love how they hang pictures of local high school athletes on walls. Service is great. They donate and do a lot for towns sports. Fundraising. Food is good. Typical chain food. But never had an issue. You can't beat the prices. read more

I wish I can say great things about this place but unfortunately I can't. I been coming here for years the waiters some you get that actually like there job and some you get that seem to not want to be there serving you. But the reason I gave this location 2 stars is simply because I order the quesadilla burger and when I bit into the burger there was paper in it. That's just not acceptable. read more

I went here with friends Easter Sunday, evening. Our server Denise R was horrible. Seated in a booth, only one set of utensils for 5 people? Our server didn't read us any specials nor did she suggest anything. (which was ok). She took our order and that was it. Never saw her thereafter. The Manager never came to our booth to ask us how everything was, as they usually do. I have eaten at this location many times in the past 4 years. Esp when it was really busy. Our server Denise R never gave us any refills nor checked on us, nor asked us how our food was? I had to ask 2 different servers for extra dressing and for utensils, because I didn't want to pester the same server. The 2nd time, the one server (male) told her to wait on her table and attend to her guests. We laughed amongst ourselves when she asked us for dessert. The service was lousy. Lucky for her that she didn't leave the receipt on the table for us to do a Survey. Then she had the nerve to ask us if we needed change. I am glad we gave her the exact amount on the bill. Tips have to be earned. She sure didn't earn hers. Happy Easter, Denise R. read more

BEWARE, CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE EATING. I found a HUGE DISGUSTING HAIR in my Burger, it was blended into the meat coming out the side of the burger. Thankfully I noticed before taking a bite. Showed the manager who took it back and apologized, offered to replace with a new burger, but did not offer to comp the meal(stingy) I accepted a new burger after my loss of appetite. The Manager also gave me some free chips and salsa while waiting for the new one. When the bill came they still had the nerve to charge for the burger. I had to mention something about it. And they only comped the $8.99 for the burger part not the whole $11.99 3 course meal deal. (Extremely stingy) I guess because I wasn't very dramatic about it. I definitely WILL NOT GO BACK to that location again. 9/26/18 @ 11pm read more

Our server (J) was very unprofessional and our food was not good at all. This place needs some help with training their staff to be nicer and to care about their guests more. I am a waitress myself and the experience I have had here was not good at all. Maybe the other servers are better. read more

Mike is a good guy, head on his shoulders. Pork chop chutney is an absolute delight. I do however recommend the waitress that is a hard of hearing. Her speed is quick, she's smiley and a good person as a waitress. The past couple times ive went here the waiters or waitresses are too new and dont have experience in expediting. You know its a bad situation when a waitress asks me how to make a strawberry daiquiri. Really? read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Screens a little dirty - American Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I hate chains. But it was Friday and I was out of groceries and the pantry was empty. We don't live close to anything but hotel restaurants and fast food. So we hit the Applebees near us. I repeat, I hate chains. They're cheap and close, so we went. I had a 4 dollar margarita. Blyeck! Sour mix with no booze flavor to it and 80% ice. The food is all crap to me and I took the least offensive item. The riblet basket. I dunno where the F those dry hunks of slunk were from on the cow, but it didnt resemble rib bones. The fries were good and crisp, but they forgot to bring me the cole slaw that is supposed to be on the plate. It was cheap and it was food, but only in a tight spot will I ever return to this joint again. read more

The lads went when we were all pretty hungover. All of us got cheeseburgers and Shirley temples (virgin of course, even though we are all of age). We felt like kids again, but ambience was Applebee's. One Lad ordered the Oriental Chicken Salad and said it was solid but could've been a bit better. Overall, 3.25 read more

Never use uber eats for this applebees. My food was cold. The fod was not correct and Sarah the manager was not helpful. The girl who answered the phone was rude. I blame Applebees not Uber! read more

Daughter came home from band camp and wanted her brunch burger from Applebee's. We have been faithful customers of this location for a long time and tonight was just absolutely disappointing and below the bar. Burned pizza, advertised beer not in stock - then ran out of beer on tap to rancid-turned bacon slices on my daughters burger. Service was awful and the manager - just a reflection of the mess this location is tonight. yes we were refunded for the pizza and burger - but that was to be expected as to the l belong quality it was. Very very disappointed, don't know if we will be back. Oy! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Note the under cooked meat. - American Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Terrible service at Applebees in Edison!I went there last night and my server was Emily A. She was extremely inattentive and wasnt checking up on us. I ordered a few appetizers and she forgot to ring up one of them and had me wait 20 mins for it and the fact she had no idea that i was missing an app and i had to remind her about it was ridiculous , also had to wait 20 minutes at the end of my dinner to wait for her to bring the check!!! The table sitting behimd me was their server as well and they werent happy with her either, It wasnt busy at all and all i seen her do is chit chat with servers and sit at the bar!! Cmon on do your job ! She didnt deserve a tip! I left her with nothing! Never again will i go there! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Blue Ribbon Brownie - American Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Yesterday my mother and I came here for a quick lunch. We live in the area so we've been there many times. Within the past two years or so, the service quality has gone down drastically. The servers are rude ( at least the one's that we get), food has come out 20-40 minutes after ordering- COLD!, and when you ask for something they don't get it to you right away. Apparently talking to your co-workers is more important then quickly getting me a blue cheese that never came with my boneless wings. They have great food but the service is horrible. We found another Applebee's in Linden, its worth the drive than going to the one in Edison... Such a shame. read more

Great food for the price. Excellent service. Dine in or take out you won't be disappointed

Not a big fan of Applebee's, had to meet someone here for a meeting. Comparing to the rest of the restaurants in the area, the happy hour is not that great. And the food is just ok at best. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Time for a drink!! - American Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Meal was good, as was the service. Was surprised they do not offer any military discount.

Stopped in for a quick dinner on Saturday 9/28. We were immediately seated, the place was not very busy even though it was around 6pm. While we had a table, we had no server as either the host failed to tell her or she couldn't be bothered. Waited for about 15 minutes and finally our server arrived. Did we get out drinks immediately? No she was busy with other tables. Ditto for the entrée. By the time she came by to ask if we wanted to order anything else, I had already paid using the table POS device. Very poor performance. Seems like prices at Applebee's continue to rise as service and quality plummet. read more

This location has increasingly gone down hill & if I could give zero stars I would. Went to place an online order for car side to go & apparently there's a glitch in the system, if you want a burger you need to say what temp you want it cooked to but there's no option to do so. So we called in & explained we were trying to order online but that there was a problem with doing so & we still wanted to order. Person who answered the phone put us on hold, 5 min later another person picked up & once again put us on hold as well (this happened a 3rd time as well). Finally a 4th person answered an we begged not to be put on hold again & explained what was going on, the person goes"I need to get the manager for you" & puts us on hold again. We waited an additional 10 minutes on hold & finally gave up. read more

The staff were nice, and arguably, were attempting to serve me and the other patrons in the place as best they could. But something seems to go haywire when they have most of the table and seats at the bar filled. My meal (3 cheese chicken penne) arrived to me at a temperature that would indicate that it sat under the heat lamp for several minutes, either forgotten, or because the food servers were stretched too thin. This was supposed to come with a breadstick, and the food runner, tells me "we owe you a breadstick". I find this to be somewhat comical, and not a good excuse for the fact that I now am lacking "the breadstick". I was fairly hungry when I came in, and to be honest, I found the portion size to be somewhat lacking, but it did taste alright. I really hate to complain at restaurants, especially when it's obvious that they are on the brink of being overwhelmed already, trying to get things like this fixed take more time, something that you as a diner/customer, should not have to sacrifice when you feel you don't want to. So, 15mins later, I'm finished with my meal, and a very nice server asks me if I want her to take away the plate, and I express to her that I'm not sure, because they told me they were bringing me "the breadstick". She assures me it will be right out. 10minutes later, she comes out with 2 semi burnt breadsticks and a cup of marinara sauce. Kudos to her for following through, Boo to the kitchen for burning breadsticks and making me wait for roughly 25-30mins to get it. I was hungry enough to hork them down. At that point, the servers should have the sense to tell a Manager to go and talk to the customer. Let's be honest, Applebee's is not a gourmet bakery, I just ate the things because the meal was too small. Had it been large enough, I wouldn't have waited around for the lousy breadsticks. I will also note, they have what appears to be multiple hosts, and they hold the door for you, which is nice, but entirely pointless. Those employees would be better used in making sure that I don't wait 25mins for a breadstick. Nothing special here. Don't go in when it's busy and you're a bit too hungry. read more

Not ordering from here anymore. Long black hair in my Wonton Tacos. I sent it back and didn't bother getting an appetizer after that. They brought out the wrong order.

I never thought I would give an Applebees 4 Stars, but maybe this is the excption. I have gone to many different Applebees over the past few years because it is fairly priced with a really great price for kids meals, and is consistently okay. However, I would usually avoid going to this chain because of the poor to almost non-existent service (if I ever get a chance to review the old Applebees I used to go to, I would give it 2 stars) - but slow & poor service has been a consistent staple for any of the restaurants I have been to, regardless of city or state. [In the movie "Couples Retreat," they even make mention of the notoriously slow service.] Well, to begin with, we went on a Saturday evening and did not have to wait very long for a table : ) and there was a decent amount of parking. But then to my extreme astonishment, we had a GREAT waiter (his name was Frank P). He had a great personality, knew exactly what to say, how to ask questions (and follow-up questions), and was very prompt and quick. it was like he actually knew what he was doing and did not He would have been a great waiter regardless of the restaurant, but for an Applebees, he was outstanding. [Others of the wait staff seem also to be properly trained. I overheard one table where the server, who was obviously Indian, ordered a dish and the server told them that there is beef in it (which was not obvious) & they ordered something else. I've been in restaurants where the waiters would not care and let them order & eat it.] Everyone had their meal choices (I had one of the steaks) and everything was good (not exceptional, but consistently good as usual). The restaurant was clean and decorated like most of the others, except this one had a local sports theme (local schools, which my kids liked). Without the great service, I probably would have only given this place 3 stars, but when everything goes right and there is no hastles, the whole dining experience is enhanced. I just hope it stays that way for future visits. As stated, the food is consistently good, not great, and would not warrant 5 stars. The 4 stars for this review is because of overall happiness with the experience due to the great service. When possible, I will be revisiting this Applebees restaurant (although, I must state that my kids do prefer Friendly's due to their larger ice cream selection) for desert. read more

Oh my my! I've always enjoyed my Applebee's in Corona CA but this one served the toughest 7ounce steak I have ever had! I couldn't even chew it, half my steak was chewed and spit out, I wasn't going to swallow that meat the other half was on the table, I told the waitress, she didn't really offer to get me another and being on vacation I didn't want to complain. I knew I was visiting and would never returned but really, that was one awful steak, full of grizzle to! Oh and the potato was old and dry and the carrots were hard, not cooked throughly! Like I said I will NOT be back! read more

I'm glad I went on Cinco de Mayo. I was a little down. We had a wonderful cheerful waiter named Ray. He was very attentive,and recommended drinks specials,which I had and was very well made.

And ofcourse the BBQ tacos where tasty! read more
