Amazing! Came here with my family to have a nice night out at Applebees and let me just start by saying the food was absolutely top tier and our server was very friendly. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and it absolutely blew me away. I will definitely be returning here!

Applebee's is a classic chain restaurant. I used to visit Applebee's all the time in high school and it was always a fave since the deals are always good. I haven't been back to one in yearssss now but I decided to stop by with some friends during a late night and Applebee's is one of the few chains that still open fairly late. There weren't many people inside but there's plenty of tables anyway so there probably wouldn't be a wait regardless. The staff was very friendly with us, top notch service - even at such a late hour on a Friday night. We had a hard time deciding what to order cause there were so many deals that lets you mix and match between options. When we thought we finally figured it out, we found out that they have a late night happy hour where all the appetizers are half off AND drinks were BOGO. So we had to rethink our strategy on what to order and decided on a bunch of appetizers and a few of the mix & math entrees. The food was served pretty quick and actually came out all at once which was great for our large group of 8. The appetizers were pretty good for a chain restaurant (boneless wings, artichoke and spinach dip, loaded waffle fries, etc.). The burger was a classic with all the fix-ins and even had bacon. The 2 for $20/$25 entrees were also just as I remembered it back in the day. Honestly, no complaints. The portions were generous, flavors weren't amazing but pretty good for what it is, and service was great!

Ordered mozzarella sticks, fries, rice, and a burger. The mozzarella sticks were soggy and flavorless, the rice was greasy but somehow dry, and the fries looked tired before they even hit the table. The burger was the only thing that tasted right -- juicy and cooked well -- but it couldn't save the rest of the meal. And they did not want to give me refund. Two stars for the burger, zero for everything else.

I asked for it to be made "Cooked to 165 degrees - no pink" sadly ate alot of one side of it before realizing it was pink. genuinely disgusting it literally looks raw like are you kidding me ?? wish i couldve actually been there to get a refund but i ordered it on doordash and got no refund since it apparently "doesnt qualify" for one? I think my pictures say enough anyways

The server wrote in 25 dollars in my receipt after crossed it out

We came to Applebees in a group. When it was time to pay my fiance and I decided to get a separate check and pay for our own and tip in cash with the table. We had a gift card for 25 dollars. Our balance was 3.88 that we owed. We paid and all was well. Today I looked at my bank statement and I was charged on my card the full 28.88 (when we used a gift card for 25 and should only have 3.88 on my card) and a pending 25 dollar charge. We go back to Applebees and talk to the manager, turns out the server wrote in a 25 dollar tip after I had already drawn a line through it because we tipped with the table. Just want to warn everyone about this server because I heard he has done this before.

Food took almost an hour, service is non-existence. I'm so furious that I'm here, I won't eat here for free and they paid me too.

Great sports bar with good food. They have lots of TVs. They even show UFC events. Huge place with…read morelots of seating, and friendly staff. The French Onion soup was nice and bold. The BBQ Ribs and Wings combo was massive and delicious. The onion rings were pretty good. The fries were ok. Next time I'll try the loaded baked potato. I'm glad they have Blue Moon on tap.

My coworkers and I returned to The Main Event for happy hour on Wednesday after work about 5:00pm…read more Since the weather was still really nice, we asked the hostess if we could sit at the outdoor patio. The outdoor patio is in the front facing the parking lot. She helped us put 3 tables together and the 12 of us were seated comfortably. While the tables were getting put together, I went to the bar to order "You're My Lobster" cocktail. The menu described it with pear vodka, elderflower, and lime splash of pineapple. However, the bartender informed me she didn't have any St-Germain. I asked if there was a substitute and she didn't really have a response. My coworker recommended chambord and they did have that. When I took my first sip, I tasted the pear vodka mostly and then later it just tasted watered down. We ordered and shared extreme nachos, olympic sampler (Buffalo Wings, Toasted Ravioli, Mozzarella Sticks, Potato Skins), mixed veggies quesadilla, tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole, and fried calamari. It was good bar food and the portions were good. I really liked the guacamole and toasted ravioli. The waitress checked up on us a few times, but when it got busy inside she came by less. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back for the affordable food and drinks and relaxing atmosphere! I'll stick to the wine next time.

Enjoyed a great Sunday Brunch at The Tap Room in Farmingdale. I've been here before for some drinks…read moreand apps, but since we are holding my bridal shower here in June, we wanted to go for brunch to get a better feel for that menu. Our server Jacqueline was very sweet and attentive. We had ordered a cider flight. 3 out of 6 tasted like an IPA and we asked to swap it out. They were very accommodating and swapped it without question. Our guests' Bloody Marys were strong and spicy. We tried the short rib skillet, short rib sliders, American breakfast and breakfast burrito. The short ribs were soft and tender and the garlic Parmesan potatoes were AMAZING. (My mom actually went and spoke to the event manager to make sure we could have them at my shower.) The bacon was crispy and eggs cooked perfectly. Brunch prices were very reasonable considering the portions and quality. Overall, it was a great brunch experience and we can't wait to come back!

The kitchen is open late, which was helpful since every restaurant on the main drag of Farmingdale…read moreseemed to close at 9:00. The place looks cool and I wanted to enjoy it more, but the food was extremely overpriced (3 chicken quesadillas for $50, seriously?!) and the DJ only played 30 second clips of songs on what seemed to be full ear-splitting volume the entire time, so I couldn't hear anybody. Granted, I was the designated driver so I didn't enjoy the atmosphere as much as my friends who were downing cocktails, but still worth sharing that it's not really a good place to hang out and talk.
