    Have been to this nearby Applebees a few times now - never super busy, staff are always kind and welcoming. Tables are clean as well as dining area and restrooms. Love their happy hour options and most recently the staff were helpful in answering our questions as we sought out the perfect drink to celebrate my husbands new job! It's always nice when the waiter checks in enough (not too much or not at all). Prices are very fair, food tasty (obviously not gourmet, from scratch but yummy), and a great option for lunch, dinner, or late night food. Will return for go to Applebees location!

    I always love going to Applebees for half priced apps but unfortunately the service was not up to par. It took us a while to get greeted but we were already ready with our order. I thought the food was great but unfortunately we never got checked on until the end when it was time to pay. Otherwise the food made up for the service!

    Good classic burger. Consistent every time. Friendly staff. The margaritas are amazing!!

    Dry ribs

    Went to Applebee's and spent $30 on dinner for me, my wife and daughter. I live maybe 2-3 miles away, so I get home and I already had made her some mashed potatoes so all we needed to do was plate up our food. First off I had to put the fries in my air fryer because they weren't even warm, then the ribs look like they've been sitting under a heating lamp for the last hour and they are super dry, we had to use our own sauces, then to top it off as I'm picking the hard core pieces out of my salad, I noticed this little black thing, so I start poking at it and looked closer and it's a fricking bug/fly in my damn Caesar salad!! They were NOT busy when I came up there, maybeeeee had like 6 cars in the whole parking lot, one person who just pulled off from the car side to go and then me pulling up to get car side but I ran in for it so I just don't understand why everything was not made freshly. I'm very disappointed in the service and the food tonight. The car side to go guy was nice but other than that tonight makes me not want to spend anymore money there. Threw the rest of the ribs away because the meat was so charred and definitely threw the salad!

    I used to live near this Applebee's so for a little while it was my go-to spot for their 1/2 off appetizer deals. I seemed to have better service at this location than any other. Our waitress was also our bartender. She was really nice and attentive. We ordered mozzarella sticks and chicken wonton tacos as far as food and I had the new Shark Bite cocktail, and my mom had a few long islands from the happy hour menu. For the last few years or so they (most locations) have been doing specialty cocktails and $1-$2 drink specials every month. I mainly go for those. Food isn't that great to me, at least it's not as good as it used to be years ago. I started writing this review with the above experience and originally rated it 4/5 stars but dropped it down to 2/5 because of a more recent experience. You can read below if you want. I'm well aware of cold/flu season, and the last week we experienced polar vortex so I know it's rough. Our waitress sneezed over our table and drinks and sounded like she had a bad cold. I'm pretty sure she shouldn't have been handling food while sick. Grossed us out. When she left our table she went back towards the door to sit more people vs going to wash her hands. It's a health risk we take eating out though. We have no idea of what's going on in the kitchen. We ordered the double crunch bone in wings, when they came to the table the celery was covered in dirt (like we rubbed some off to confirm that it was dirt and the celery had not been washed), the waitress understood our concern about the dirty celery and took it back to the kitchen. Usually most places don't even serve the butt of celery (I don't know what that part is really called but it's the end of the celery stick where it turns white & a lot dirt is ALWAYS trapped in that part). Later a manager brought out a new plate of wings and asked if everything else had been okay. They took it off our bill but then put it back on. Which is fine. It was half off for happy hour. Honestly by time the wings came back out we were so grossed out and wished our waiter came back so we could have just canceled them. After sending the wings back she never returned. We even had to asked another manager to bring us a box as we could see 4 wait staff standing by the kitchen hanging out. We paid on the kiosk at the table since we didn't know if she would return to offer to bring us a check but whatever. It was another one of those regretful decisions to eat & drink vs just get the drinks & get the hell out! Side note: the February Mardi Gras drinks are really good! The $1 hurricane is really good. Sweet, taste like juice but I could feel it after 2.

    . Boneless chicken was good. Steak was kind of dry. Burger tasted bland. Waitress was very nice. Food came out fast.

    Chips with spinach and artichoke dip. Chips were very very VERY stale.

    Always a fun time! We had a party of four adults. 1 newbie and none of us are really golfers. 2…read morehours included 1 regular game round, 1 Sonic game, and 3 different Angry Birds games. The warmers kept everyone comfortable and the misty rain was barely noticeable. Our bay host was friendly and attentive. Absolutely no complaints. The drinks were festive and tasty. They weren't strong, they weren't weak. They were what you would want as to not impair you while you are standing on an open ledge swinging a club. The Grilled Cheese Dippers with bacon and tomato soup are an ultimate comfort food. Don't miss ordering them as they are limited time only. The Funday Faves Platter was a feast for our party of four. The sliders are picky eater friendly (there is mayo on them) and of a generous size and there are SIX of them. We already knew we loved the Mac and cheese bites. The pretzel bits need a dip in something, but are as soft and warm as you'd expect. The chips and salsa were average, but still a favorite. My only complaint about the platter is about half of our chips were too small to dip. The Winter Cosmo was orange forward, but nice holiday twist. It comes in a plastic globe "ornament" which was a little silly and the sprig of rosemary didn't add much as it was sad and dead looking. This is a limited time seasonal item. The Patrón #20 mixed drink has an exclusive Topgolf reposado tequila as its main spirit along with pineapple and mango juice and rimmed with black sea salt. It has a thicker juicy viscosity and is on the sweeter side. If you like tequila sunrise, you will like this tropical "cousin." Tuesdays are one of the "half off game play" days (Mondays-Thursdays). Five stars! Highly recommend!

If you don't like sitting in the sun , consider asking for a table instead or away from the windows. Food 5/5: we got the brussels sprouts and shrimp bowl. I loved the maple sauce with the goat cheese on the sprouts! It's definitely different than the soy type sauces other places are doing, and brought the perfect salty sweet combination. The shrimp bowl is my go to here, and was great. The sauce with the shrimp, avocado, veggies and rice is a great balance of flavor. Service 5/5: our server was very attentive and the food came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: this place has an upscale cozy vibe. It is on the smaller side, so tables are somewhat close, but not too close. Note the credit card charge.
