Had an early lunch with my sister on a Sunday. Service was good with a friendly server - attentive but not too much. All the eats were great - we ordered the pick two. I got my usual with the Oriental Chicken Salad with crispy chicken. She had the same, but had grilled chicken. Sis and I split an app of sweet chili boneless wings, which were yummy. I liked the extra little side of crunchy celery stalks to chomp on -- made me *think* I was eating healthy despite the fried chicken bites. LOL Everything was as expected. It's a go to restaurant for casual, reliable, reasonably priced dining in Fenton. We'll be back! read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight. Our waitress Sophie was great. She was very personable and attentive. We tried the trio appetizer. I had buffalo chicken,chicken quesadilla and crunchy onion rings . My boneless chicken was great with the right amount of heat. The quesadillas were delicious and the onion rings were super crispy. My wife had the trio also. She had honey bbq ribblets, bbq chicken bites and the hot pretzel and beer cheese sauce. I tried the pretzel and it was soft salty and delicious. I had Shafley Octoberfest beer which was good and my wife had a margarita read more

It's been years since I've been in this chain. Came for appetizers and drinks and they did not disappoint! We got the Valentine drinks-$6 & the you choose app plate. The food came out before our drinks! We were shocked with that! The food was hot and filling! The beverage was amazing! Not to sweet but it had a lot of ice! I wish it wasn't packed with ice and e we got more than 3 sips. read more

Honestly, I forgot why I stopped coming here. Me and my pals went out on a limb and came here since it'd been so long and it didn't disappoint. On a nice hot day, it was very cool inside full with great service. Personally, my food was amazing, and the only reason I can't give higher is due to the fact my pals food wasn't as hot as it should've been. No complaints on my side! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders - American Near Me - Fenton, Missouri

Customer service was good, but we were told about a one-beer minimum by the waiter only after finishing our drinks. The food was okay--I ordered the hot honey chicken and fries but only received about five fries and half a chicken breast. The drinks were fine but not very strong overall. read more

We were seated promptly, place was pretty crowded, server was friendly! She made drink recommendations We ordered 2 Backyard Blackberry Lemonade cocktails, those came out fast.... delicious, not strong We had the 2/$25 we both ordered the OM Cheeseburger. Food was good.... It's been awhile since we've been to an Applebee's. Ordered 2 more of the same cocktails- I swear, I really don't think there was any alcohol in them! That's why I gave the 3 stars. read more

I came here with family for a birthday celebration. I haven't been to an Applebees in a really long time. I had looked at the menu before coming, and was disappointed to not see any vegetarian offerings, let alone anything that could be veganized. The inside was dark, like i remembered from the last time I came. There weren't any Happy Hour specials yet because it was too early. Our waitress was very sweet, that was a positive! We asked if we ordered a dish without meat, if the price would be the same, so they had to have the meat packaged to go. I got a Tex Mex bowl that had cilantro rice, black beans, guacamole, corn, and shrimp. The bowl was mostly rice, with the other ingredients just covering the top. Im glad I got a spicy ranch for it as well, as there wasnt much flavor. The points given today were for the clean restaurant and for the sweet waitress. The entire menu seems outdated and the food seems on par with a fast food restaurant. read more

It's been a few years since I've had Applebees! I got a gift card from work so decided to get my old favorite (the Oriental Chicken Salad). Honestly it's still so good. The chicken tenders are breaded wonderfully and the lettuce, carrots, and cabbage are so flavorful. I love the sauce too. It comes with a nice breadstick. I haven't been to the Fenton Applebees location before but the service is fast and they are friendly! I placed my order online in advance and they were good to go on time! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Oriental Chicken Salad - American Near Me - Fenton, Missouri

The food was average. The restaurant had patrons and two large groups. There was service, but they had to be reminded to bring things that had previously been requested. There was a person in a wheelchair. The large groups had people who backed into the aisles. The patrons had to get up and move away from the table so the wheel chair could move. I would not want to be in that situation during a natural disaster. read more

My husband and I visited Applesbee's on a Friday night and we were pleasantly surprised! It had been quite a while since we dined at this restaurant. Sofia was our server and she was excellent. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. I ordered the Tex Mex Shrimp Bowl and my husband ordered the all you could eat ribs and fries. We both got a Happy Hour Margarita for only $3. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Overall great dinner out. We will be back again soon! read more

Seats quickly...awesome. server/bartender was coming to us realized she forgot the drinks for the people behind us. That was it we just sat and waited for an acknowledgement when none came we got up to leave. The bartender said "you're going" yup you can't acknowledge us were out. Absolutely the worse customer service with a "I dont care attitude". Definitely can see why their ratings are failing. Won't be back. read more

Arrived around 7:30 pm on Fri night after Thanksgiving, and the dining area was mostly empty. We ordered 2 for $25: onion rings for appetizer, 1 chicken tenders and 1 tenders salad for entrees. O-rings and tenders were overcooked (fried too long) but edible. Fries that came with tenders entree were way too salty. I had requested no cheese on salad but it was brought (by a different staff not our server) with cheese; our served walked up and acknowledged that I had said no cheese. I said it's fine I'll eat it anyway (not an allergy). Breadstick that came with salad (and was delivered 5 min later by the lady who seated us) was over baked. Besides the cheese, the server was great -- refilled my son's drink without asking, and he needed it because of too much salt on his food. We had not eaten at any Applebees since maybe 6 -7 yrs ago because the menu isn't that enticing, but we wanted to give it another chance. Still not very impressed. read more

Had dinner at this location this evening, ordered the sirloin steak medium well, although it was cooked correctly, the steak was chewy, not tender at all and all I could taste was salt. Very disappointed. Making my own at home next time. read more

Went for dinner few days ago with wife and daughter. We were promptly seated and server quickly took our drink order. Our server, Pyper D, was attentive, courteous, and friendly. My salmon dinner was delicious. Wife and daughter both enjoyed riblets platter. We will be back! read more

Your waiter was hot...his name was Mark... i'd smash... i'll go there again for Mark... and the classic combo... and he was able to get me a Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri... the food was good, service was good as well but Mark was hot and amazing...upgrade his paycheck...!!... read more

If I could give it zero stars I would. I paid $50 plus a tip for Carside to Go from the Creve Coeur Applebees I get home to find hair (not one, many!) in my fries. I almost vomited!! I even sent the email review back with NO RESPONSE!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS APPLEBEES unless you want sickening, gross food. read more

Adrienne B was so attentive and nice! Such a great experience especially with us cutting so close to closing! Truly appreciate it! Also some kick ass blackberry lemonade!! :) read more

Our waitress was Carry and she was amazing and super sweet. The food was really good we came at lunch time and it was just over all a great experience I really appreciate the good service. The Dracula juice was delightful too. I haven't been to an Applebees in a long time but this was great ! read more

Had lunch at Gravois location. I ordered a Blondie Brownie. It was placed in front of me and when I went to move the board the skillet was on I accidentally touched my pointer finger on the edge of the skillet. I yelled OUCH and looked at my finger and already had a blister on about half of my fingertip. I told the waiter I burnt my finger and he said yeah they get really hot. I told him he should have warned me. He said sorry about that. Never did I imagine a plate for dessert with ice cream on it would be so hot. The manager came over and asked if I needed burn cream and I said yes. She then told me about her burns she had gotten from hot skillets. Not really what I wanted to hear. They seemed aggravated that it happened. The waiter walked by and said sorry about that again. I asked if they could get me a raw egg because egg white works very well on burns. Another Manager checked on me and again told me I should see the scars on her arms from hot plates. They all seemed to think that it was ok because they too had burns.I asked for the corporate number and the manager seemed reluctant but said she would look for it. Right after that the first Manager came over and seemed bothered and said I'm just going to go ahead and do an accident report. She seemed to only be filling out part of it. They did give me my dessert free and my sisters meal for free which I appreciated. What I didn't appreciate was the glib remarks about their injuries as if it was just ok that it happened. I explained that because I wasn't warned and was supposed to realize that fajitas sizzle and desserts don't as I was reminded, how dangerous it was. I gave the example that if my four old grand child was with me and reached over to share and had touched it, there would have been a bigger problem than how I was treated. By the way I never got the corporate number. Still I not sure how I was supposed to know it was that extremely hot for just a Brownie with ice cream on top of it. Just felt like they were more aggravated than concerned for me. read more

I'll admit, I'm not a big chain food person. But I was craving a steak tonight so I decided to run by Applebee's because it was the closest to my house. I stopped in, sat at the bar there was only one other person sitting at the bar and the bartender was responsible for one other table within the bar area with 3 to 4 people. I ordered a glass of wine and a water. I got my glass of wine it took a while for me to get a menu when I did I ordered The bourbon street steak sub broccoli for mashed potatoes. I also asked if they had horseradish sauce and she said they did not which was surprising to me considering they have approximately eight steaks on their menu and they don't have horseradish sauce. My food came out, broccoli was a little cold the steak had absolutely no taste to it whatsoever, however it was cooked appropriately to medium rare. When my food was delivered I asked once again for a glass of water, never got it. I ate my cold broccoli, a few bites of very basic steak with hardly any flavor and took it to go home because I could warm it up at home, add some horseradish sauce, seasoning...to make it edible. read more

The 2 for $20, once a glorious option on a menu, is now changed and significantly less appealing. I used to come to Applebees a few times a month to celebrate good eats and Friendships at a fair price with ample food, but I can no longer. I am extremely disappointed in the change of the menu and the disclusion of the hamburger. Quite absurd, if you ask me. Sincerely, A loyal customer who won't be returning. read more

Ate there for lunch today and food and service was great. I would definitely recommend. Carry was our waitress and she was wonderful.

Great food Friendly service I'm glad the bowls are back can't beat it for the price you can ev n create your own kind of!!!!

I recently came to Applebee's to literally be floored by this experience. I was greeted by perhaps the most adorable little hostess. Almost sprite like with such glee that I was so eager to get to my booth that I ran out of my shoes! The hostess being so kind, brought my forgotten crocs right to me! (Seriously though fantastic from the moment I crossed the doors threshold! I didn't lose my shoes but you get the idea...) next I sat down and ordered a few landscapers (aka BUSCH BEER). The temperature these were brought to me at was absolutely perfect. The beer touched my lips and it was pure ecstasy from there on out. My waitress was second to none. She check on me like I was a newborn baby. I felt the warmth and love from the waitress as if I was a new born! Better yet, my chicken fried steak...literally unforgettable. The crispy flakes from the bread crackled on my teeth as I chewed. The steak was moist and rare. Truly remarkable! The mashed potatoes were so soft that I could have slept on them. The buttery soft potatoes tumbled across my gums with delight! Finally, the veggies...oh how could I forget these tasty morsels? Crispy and delicious come to mind. As do unreal! Just the perfect steamed veggies! Now the downside. My fork smelled like pure dong. It was as if my fork was buried in a barrel of schmoes for at least 7 years. All in all, a great experience! I can't wait to get back! read more

Ugh, I reluctantly came here for a niece's birthday party and I had my expectations so low, I thought I might be pleasantly surprised. Nope. This place is so dated it is right out of Office Space. it is time to put some of the wall art on a garage sale. I used to work at an Applebee's in college and it looks no different from when I worked at one 15 years ago. The place just felt dirty and crammed and that night it was really stuffy in there. I got the ribs, not the fake riblets and a side of fried and slaw. The ribs were completely opposite of falling off the bone. I felt like a squirrel trying to nibble the meat off the bone. I really don't like my meat falling apart, but I do like being able to retrieve it. Not only was it hard to get the meat off the bones, but there was very little to be had. Then they try to cover up their sorry excuse for ribs with an ultra sticky sweet BBQ sauce that you could clean up with a spoon. The fries were not redeeming. Cold and soggy. The slaw was warm and so on and so on. Thankfully I was dragged here and didn't come on my own accord, then I would have really been pissed at myself. Perhaps there are still some decent items on the menu, but I will unlikely ever find out. read more

I hadn't been to Applebees's since Covid happened and now I remember why. We ordered curbside to go and there were three orders. Two of the orders included fries and I asked for them to be crispy. When the order came out, we took a look at everything and none of the fries were crispy. When I explained the fries weren't crispy, the girl who brought it out said she didn't take the order, nor did she cook the food. I asked to speak to her manager. The manager apologized and brought out the new fries. When we got home, they were still not crispy. When the manager can't do it right, what can be expect of the other workers. Won't be patronizing this establishment again!!! read more

Had a good experience on a Saturday night. We all basically had sodas and desserts. I had one of those little shooter desserts. I like how clean the place looked. Good appropriate music playing. I'd come here again. Good job folks.. I must add that often when we walk into a restaurant that isn't busy, the restaurant often looks in disarray. But this restaurant was very well organized, very clean. The chairs were pushed in underneath the tables. The bar chairs were organized and looked inviting. The manager was visible. He ran some food. He checked on a few tables. He easily could have been hiding in his office during the slow time, but he wasn't, he was visible. I like that all of the stuff is no longer on the walls. I felt that that gave the restaurant a cluttered appearance. Without it all, the place looks much cleaner. read more

Excellent, fast service. Went for lunch with my little guy and they were accommodating and very prompt.

Okay. Food was good but I guess that french fries are in short supply. Two of us got 15-20 french fries with our hamburgers. I looked ridiculous on the plate -- usually there is a pile of fries but these were all lined up neatly next to the burger. I can't imagine a cook sending that out to a customer. My kids were laughing about it. However, the food we ordered tasted good. read more

Gerry and I are having a drink and dinner together. My "Pair of Jacks" is delicious.

So I go into this location quite often becouse of the simple fact of the atmosphere it has. The servers and bartenders there are very up lifting and kind. There is one person that is absolutely amazing and she is in my eyes #1 Sarah KOGLIN the bartender! Applebee's should be proud to have her! Everyone keep up the hard work! High five!! read more

PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES, BEWARE! We spent $90.48 on an order of Carside To Go ribs at two separate Applebee's in the area tonight because nobody could get the order correct. In the end, we got no ribs. I have food allergies. For a very long time Applebee's has been one of only two restaurants I am able to eat at. No longer. About a month ago I went to eat at a location I don't normally go to with a friend. I made the server very aware of my allergies. She was very kind. I got my ribs, but since my friend and I both got a side of fries, our server just gave us a big plate of fries to split which, unfortunately had steak seasoning that I could not have. But she was kind, so I didn't say anything and just didn't eat them. I ate my ribs and, unfortunately, had an immediate allergic reaction to the ribs, which sucked because we were going to a show afterwards. The other night I ordered ribs from the Waterloo IL location, which is the one I usually go to. I paid for extra sauce on the side. We got it home, the ribs were dry, burnt, torn apart, and there was no extra sauce. Disappointing, since the sauce helps me eat (I have Dysphagia: A swallowing disorder), but ok. Then tonight. I ordered ribs and a burger from the Fenton location. We paid over the app and a family member went to go pick it up. When they arrived, the server gave them the burger, but informed them that they were out of ribs, but they could offer us something else. Again, I have allergies, so that's not gonna work. So I make the same order, but send it to the Arnold Applebee's instead. So they pick up the food from the Arnold location, bring it home, I open my dinner (finally) and the ribs are thrown together in a container COVERED in garlic mashed potatoes which I cannot have. We called and the manager was very nice, but as compensation put a note in that our next order from their location is to be fully compensated. The unfortunate thing is, I will not be using it. My family can, but I no longer trust Applebee's who was rated so highly in the allergy friendly community here for so long. I can see why people are saying things have been changing. So now my family is enjoying a nice dinner of ribs, mashed potatoes, chicken, and burgers, and I'm having potato chips for dinner. I essentially spent $90.48 on a bag of chips and I had to wait two hours to eat it. Thanks for the meal, Applebee's. Lesson learned. read more

I came here with the parents after some shopping at a nearby Wal-Mart for lunch. Having a sensitive GI tract with lots of dietary no-no's, I thought I ordered something that would be okay. I ordered a French Dip sandwich without cheese & butter on the bun. When the food came, there was a smidge of cheese on the plate & the cheese was also on a tiny part of the sandwich. Tis cool, I thought. I just picked off the cheese. The fries were heavily drenched in salt. Yuck! After finishing my meal, the GI tract growled even though I took a fat digestion pill with my meal. Uh-oh. Luckily I live close by (about a 15 minute drive). When I got home, the GI tract spewed like an angry volcano. Not fun. This is about the second time I've had trouble with Applebee's food. Maybe it's me or it's the food. Service was great though. read more

I'm a little torn about our visit to Applebees. This is now the closest one to us so we were excited to stop by for happy hour and dinner...that turned into chaos. We arrived in time to order happy hour drinks. A misprint on the menu led my husband to believe that one of the beers was a certain price and he ordered that with that mindset. We also ordered an appetizer in the HH timeframe. Waiter comes back with a bottle, not the draught version that he wanted. Upon questioning it, the waiter becomes somewhat rude and says its what we ordered and informed us that it was after HH prices now so he couldn't fix anything. We said fine, no big deal. We order our meal, decided to go with the 2 for $20 deal. Waiter comes back again and is confused because we had ordered an appetizer in the HH time frame but our meal included one and we didn't order one. Well, we didn't realize that so he says ok, goes back and does something and before we know it another one of our exact appetizer appears at the table. We tell this person we aren't paying for that because we didnt order 2. The waiter comes back and asks how we got 2 to which, at this point, we were done with them because this was all on his fault. We got our meal, enjoyed it immensely (chicken and a burger) then came time for the check. No big ordeal with that however it took forever and a day to get it all paid and returned. Needless to say as much as we enjoyed the food, not sure if we will be back because a relaxing meal was turned into a headache. read more
