We were greeted by a charming host and quickly seated. The Server Amanda came over quickly as she was working the bar as well. She was happy and look like she loved her job. The lunch special were priced great and the portions was perfect me. Applebee's has a friendly family atmosphere. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This location is a much nicer location than the one I'm used to going to. We got seated right away on a Tuesday evening. Service was weird. The food came out fast. My drink didn't even come out before the entrees. I ordered one of the new drinks on the menu but they ran out of an ingredient but nobody had any urgency to say anything. The drink I ended up getting looked nothing like the photo. My husband got food poisoning from the fajita roll-ups. He was throwing up all night. We won't be back. read more

Tried Applebees yesterday evening for the first time as we had a gift card. For fast food it was ok, we had the 2 for $25 which really is a good deal in today's market. Food is just ok but when you are paying $25 for 2 dinners what can we say. Service was just ok, it seems like the management needs lots of work. Our waitress was running and really didn't have the time to stop back and ask if everything was ok or did we need anything else. Maybe management needs to step up and help instead of looking like they want to be home instead of working. They are updating the restaurant and I must say it's looks pretty nice, on going. Overall it's fast food that's ok every once and awhile. read more

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 read more

My wife, Rhonda and I go to this location regularly. Yesterday we had the pleasure of being served by Kim A. She was professional and took care of all our needs. We also met up with another server, Sarah Conrad. She is also extremely bubbly. She stopped by our table to say hello. Another excellent server. Rhonda and I would like to give a shout out to both Kim and Sarah and the rest of the team. Regards, Barry read more

I had the pleasure to be served by server Oscar. He is a kind and considerate person. He served with a smile and was attentive to ensuring we were pleased with the food. The food was served hot and timely. I'm sure Oscar ensured that! God bless that young man. He is an asset to Applebees and I would recommend to family and friends. read more

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. read more

Excellent service today on Jan.15th! The waitress was very kind, and professional. She treated our group today past noon time with a perfect vibe. Plus, she was very pretty and attractive. I should have asked her for her number, but I prefer not to bother people when they are working. read more

Excellent service at chain restaurant. We visited Sunday and I asked for a specific cocktail and modified dinner entree. The waitress was friendly and I saw the manager made my cocktail (I felt bad for being extra but very appreciative!). They went above and beyond and I hope their corporate knows it! read more

Everything takes so long to come out.. waiter never checked on us... asked for straws 3 times.... He checkes on other tables and passes us.

Went to Applebees last evening for their $15.99 all you can eat special. Had not been to an Applebees in a long time and thought we would give it a shot. The food was awful small plate of 5-6 shrimp with a few fries and my better half got a plate of 2 little chicken tenders and a couple of fries. Wait staff didnt even bring the cole slaw until asked twice. Second round of food i tried the ribletts which should be call bone lets, all little pieces of bone. My better half tried the shrimp and got 4 shrimp and a few fries. With 2 soft drinks and a tip this crap was just under $50. What a rip off. The food on their commerical looks great but in person cold crap. Last time i waste my money in this restaurant. read more

We walked in and it smells sweat. Sitting at the bar and I'm totally disgusted the sink is filled with garbage!! There are dirty glasses on the bar counter. The bar station is flirty!! There is no way that the received a Grade A! read more

Food is so good. Chicken tenders from here will forever be my favorite. Also the fries are so good. Half off apps are the BEST! Anything is good off the menu. Mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, spinach and artichoke dip are my top 3 appetizers. Service was good but can improve on how many workers there are. They needed a few more. It was quiet inside. All Applebees can use a facelift and get rid of the carpet. It needs a change of decor! read more

It legitimately took the servers here 15 minutes to even come by and take the order and 40 minutes to get the check, pay the bill, and receive our credit card back. Food is fine here, and the place was not too dirty for an old Applebee's, but I spent maybe 10 minutes eating while absolutely no one walked by to check how our table was. read more

Food was pretty good and reasonably priced. Service was attentive. It's Applebees, good for basic burgers, sandwiches etc. No complaints. Solid choice for something simple after seeing a movie next door. read more

David M was the best server ever. We had an accident and spilled our drink and he was right on the scene to help us out. If I could give 6 stars I would read more

The Applebee chain is not one of my favorite spots to eat. But this one is a lot better than some of the rest. The waitress Gabby was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I got BBQ Brisket Taco's that were very flavorful and tender and there French Fries were on the money crunchy on the outside and moist inside. Wifey got the burger special and she said it was very delicious. The place is clean and plenty of TV's to watch all the sports games. It is also very convenient with the movie theater close by. read more

This place has bugs. Ants in the corners. Staff responded "what do you expect". Also had a staff member tell me that they put visine in the food of people they think aren't going to tip well to make them sick. Avoid. read more

We went for lunch on a weekday around 1 pm. It was not that busy, and we were seated right away. We got the ham and cheese club and a burger. Both were excellent. Our food came quickly and our server was wonderful. The iced tea was fresh. read more

Again, not a huge fan of this chain restaurant. I only go when I'm craving real junk food. I'm not a huge fan of most of this menu. The reason why I'm updating this rating to give it 5 star is that the service is hands down the best I have ever received at a chain restaurant. We arrived and were seated almost immediately on a busy Friday night. Our server, George, was sooooo nice. He looked very busy but you could tell he was legit on top of everything. Both my husband and I ordered the twofer apps. This allows you to create your own sampler but you receive smaller portions that you would if you were to order the app itself. My husband ordered tacos but there was a misunderstanding and George put it in as taco queso dip. When our order came out we thought it wasn't our order and there was a mistake. We blamed ourselves for not being more specific when saying "taco" and we were going to keep the order as is. George came back and profusely apologized, already putting an order of the chicken taco wontons which came almost immediately. When the bill came, we saw that he also comped the order of wonton tacos as well. We were floored as to how that was handled. Way to go Applebee's for being an exemplary model to other chains in the realm of service! read more

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.

We've came here before and the service was ok, until we came this weekend and our server Oscar made us feel at home and made sure we were always ok and we had a great experience because of his great service!! read more

The quality of this Applebee's has really taken a hit in the past few years. Went on Sunday evening with a friend and put my name down for the wait. The employee who was seating us (young white girl with dark hair) completely mispronounced my name and then exclaimed, "I don't know how to pronounce it!" I don't think "Leslie" is a difficult name to say, but regardless, to be completely unapologetic about not knowing how to pronounce a guest's name is pretty rude. Ordered the honey pepper chicken tenders with four cheese mac and cheese. The chicken tenders barely had any honey pepper sauce on them, and the Mac and cheese was completely tasteless. I was excited to pay using the QR code on the receipt, but after about five minutes of trying to get it to work, our waiter told us it was inactive. Seriously? Why waste ink printing a broken QR code? Very disappointed. Will not be back. read more

OK, got sucked in by the "loaded fajitas" that's pounded on TV. I expected to be disappointed... but honestly? They were pretty decent. Started with a taco meat/cheese dip with tortilla chips. Tasty. Moved on to the reason we came, with the Mrs. choosing shrimp, and I ordering the chicken fajitas. It was pretty good. Award winning? Naaaa... but better than I expected. We washed it down with 3 tall Kona beers each. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. If there's a negative, it's the same as last time. The bill for 2 broke $100. If I'm gonna spend that, there's just more interesting places with higher quality food to visit. If I was near here, I'd drop in again... just not really a "destination." read more

i think they ate my food. they took a whole hour waiting and all these workers never even wrote down my order. even my kids are crying and mad bc they are hungry. read more

What can I say it's Applebee's so you know what to expect but I have to say I do think this location is the best one. Food is always on point. Service is fantastic. Half apps after 10 you can't go wrong! Hands down chicken wonton tacos are always a must have. read more

Ever go somewhere & know from the beginning the whole experience was going to be... not good? Yeah that was this place last Saturday. It all started with the hostess. A young girl who seemed to have an attitude. Upon requesting a booth, we were told there are no booths available, how everyone had just sat, so one wouldn't be available for a while. We took a table (which IMO, didn't look like it was entirely clean) & in clear view, there was a large corner booth (that was left dirty the entire time we were there) & 2 booths behind me that the hostess cleaned & the next people she sat (maybe 5 minutes after she sat us), she took them to 1 of those booths she cleaned... but for us, no booths would be available for a while? Uhh ok. Our server did not come over right away. A table sat after us with 5 people had a server there right away (a different server than ours) w/ plates, cutlery & napkins. When we got our appetizer (part of the $25 meal), we didn't get anything in regards to plates, cutlery or napkins, we had to request that. I didn't know napkins in a restaurant are upon request? Also had to request the garnishes in our sangrias, bc that's how it was shown in the picture. According to the server, he didn't make the drinks & garnishes come with one sangria & not the other? Uhh ok. Ordering food, both meals were requested to have the sauce on the side. The server said when the food is bought out & if they don't come with the sauce, to ask for them. Why would I have to ask for it when I'm telling you?! Well the food was bought out by a different person, neither had sauce so I requested it & maybe bc I distracted him by asking for the sauce we didn't get, he knocked over my mothers water, which was spilled everywhere. That table of 5 & another table of 3, both who came after us, left before us. VERY slow service & mediocre service across the board from the hostess, server, whoever bought the food over & whoever made the drinks. 2 stars over 1 bc the drinks & food were good. Not hurrying back to this location anytime soon. read more

I just ate here and I was very disappointed on the food i received. I ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it tasted funky and watery it was disgusting. The drinks are extremely watered down. The beer cheese is like liquid and has no flavor. When there was dirty plates on the tables the server would come and not take them they were on are table for about 20 mins this is absolutely ridiculous I have never had something like this happen. I have never came to an Apple bees that was this bad I will never be coming back I can't believe I wasted my money on this terrible shit. read more

Oh Applebee's...you were always "the spot" for my friends and I in high school and the early years in college. 1/2 off apps and two-fers....couldn't go wrong on a poor student's budget. What happened to you? Tonight was terrible. First it started off with warm beer. When we mentioned something to our sever, our server sent the manger over. The manager stated that they test the temperature of the beer before the start of the shift, and the beer is always 38*. She then went on to say that since they don't chill their beer mugs, that could be why it isn't cold. UMMM no! It's warm because it's warm! I don't believe that beer was 38* at all. On to food. My boyfriend got the unlimited riblets and chicken tenders deal. The riblets were full of cartilage and boney. He had to keep spitting out little bone fragments. Not something you want to keep on doing at a restaurant. The fries were also under-seasoned. He switched to chicken tenders after, and wasn't impressed with those either. Tasted like frozen chicken tenders. I made my own appetizer sampler for my meal. I chose boneless wings, chicken quesadilla, and chicken wonton tacos. The wings were over sauced and the chicken quesadilla was flavorless. The wonton tacos were good. Applebee's has spiraled down hill, bumped its head a few times and drowned in the river. read more

Out of all the Applebee's this one is my fav! Lol the staff is always friendly and helpful and on occasions when I wanna watch a game and get something light to eat ... even if I'm alone I'm still in good company ... always clean.

Really enjoyed our time out coming here! Drinks were great and a great price. Our waiter Nick was amazing! The French onion soup is so delicious. We got the 2 for $25 and the boneless wings were ok. They added a little to much buffalo sauce. My boy got the chicken tenders and said they were yummy. I got the bourbon chicken and shrimp and wow it was good! Overall good! Definitely recommend! read more

Hi Friends, welcome to Applebee's in the Farmingdale Airport Plaza. it's very rare that I give a chain restaurant 5 stars. This Applebee's is a perfect spot to stop and relax. it's located right next to the airport so you can stop for a quick meal. Conveniently located next to the movie theater and Stew Leonard's, and Home Depot. It's in the middle of a big giant free parking lot so there's never a parking problem. This Applebee's is a great place to take a break while shopping or after the show. I usually sit at the bar for dinner for faster service and premium sports viewing. I've been to this Applebee's now about a dozen times in the last 2 years. I've been happy with the food cleanliness and service each and every time. Service has always been quick, courteous and with a smile. Good Customer service is so important to me. I really like how the bartenders here are well-schooled in hospitality and client retention. Recognizing his regulars and making new customer right at home. my bartender tonight was a real Wiz I watched him prepare drinks for the entire house and keep up with his bar clientele without missing a step. He took our food orders and made sure that our drinks were always full. He literally ran the whole place. My hat's off to you sir. I really like the money-saving specials at Applebee's rolls out. My favorite is the 2(meals) for $20 dinner special. Even if I'm traveling solo I can polish off both meals no problem. I like to get their barbecue ribs for an extra $3 and up my choice of sides for another couple dollars more (2) people can eat Caesar salad, appetizers, spare ribs, sirloin steak, string beans, garlic mash, bacon Mac cheese and loaded baked potato..for about $25. Applebee's Happy hour is extended later than most places. At 7:30 Sunday night, it was still going strong. I was able to get a really Crisp and wonderfully flavored Sammy Adams Oktoberfest rimmed with caramel and cinnamon sugar for just $4.50 (my invention). I was surprised to read One reviewer was told they do not have cold beer mugs here. At the bar I receive a freezing-cold glass with each and every Brew. I really like the neighborhood Pride that this Applebee's displays with all photos and pictures of the local schools and surrounding neighborhood. You really feel at home here. The 5 stars I give Applebee's is well-deserved. I've been here a dozen times over the last several years and they've never missed a step with me.. never been rude and the food's always been Priced right and on point. I am the Duke ..(for now).. of THIS Farmingdale Applebee's and I declare it to be one of my FAVORITE neighborhood spots.. See you next week for Sunday Night Football. read more
