Like many chain restaurants, Applebee's offers an abundance of items for those with dietary restrictions and/or preferences. While I was initially looking forward to the Impossible burger which can be made vegan by omitting the cheese, I was informed that this location no longer carries Impossible meat since they now share the space with ihop. Thankfully, there were many more options! I went with the triple dipper with pretzel sticks, fried pickle, and fries. With the exception of the fries, the food was hot and tasted freshly made. Staff were decently attentive and the restaurant was well maintained. Definitely a great place to stop while traveling with a group as I did. read more

Came here for brunch and this place has definitely changed since the last time I visited years ago. We were greeted and seated right away, and within minutes our server Adelfo came over. He was funny, friendly, and super personable. We ended up chatting about our kids and he made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. He mentioned the entire place was recently renovated, including the kitchen, and it shows. The space is clean, bright, and even smells new. The concept is pretty unique. The restaurant is split down the middle with IHOP on one side and Applebee's on the other, but now it operates as one combined menu. You can order anything from either side no matter where you sit. Breakfast all day, even at the bar, which is a fun twist. We started with the Ultimate Appetizer Trio with mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadillas, and chicken wontons. You get to pick three sauces, which is a great touch. The mozzarella sticks and quesadillas were very good, especially paired with the sauces. The chicken wontons missed for me. The Sweet Asian chile sauce and coleslaw did not work and the chicken texture was mushy. For drinks, I tried an Irish coffee since the espresso machine was down. It was not great. Very light on whiskey and came off watery with no real creaminess. The hot chocolate was just okay. The Bourbon Street Steak had good flavor, but the cut is now top sirloin instead of ribeye and it shows. Still enjoyable, but not as strong as it used to be. The fries that came with it were solid. The highlight for me was the Ultimate Breakfast Burger. It had a lot going on with a beef patty, hash browns, American cheese, bacon, a fried egg, and poblano hollandaise on a brioche bun. I swapped the egg to fried hard. Messy, falling apart, but somehow it all worked and tasted great. I also took advantage of the 2 for $25 deal with some upgrades and tried the 3 Cheese Chicken Penne and the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp. Both were good and added even more value to the visit. Overall, this was a great experience. Strong service, a clean and updated space, and a fun concept that gives you the best of both worlds with grill, bar, and breakfast all in one place. I would definitely come back and try more items like the O M Cheese burger, quesadilla burger, bacon cheddar chicken sandwich, loaded buffalo chicken omelette, brownie bite, and the sizzling butter pecan blondie. read more

Terrible frozen food. We waited over an hour and a half for lukewarm food. We asked for a medium steak and it was stock hard. The waffles and chicken tasted horrific. No flavor on the waffles and the chicken tasted frozen. The French toast tasted like toast with a shake of sugar. We asked for the manager and he was too busy to see us. The place was not packed and not only did we have a super long wait but the food was not hot. The waitress was a doll and helpful but paying $70 for food that's was not eaten is a shame. We tipped her well because she has nothing to do with the quality of the food. Sadly I could not speak to the manager. I she. Proof what we paid and pictures of all the food left behind. One bite was all it took. We ordered three entree and all of them were warm and not edible. I'm so annoyed that o still had to pay for this horrible meal that we did not eat. Now I'm back home making food for the kids because they could not eat this horrible frozen food. read more

June 23, 2026, 3pm, I walked in just to look around I-Hop and Applebee's since I haven't been up this way in a while. Nice to see both companies are in one building. There were two older ladies who walked in behind me, and were waiting to be seated. I Looked around the place and there were a few people at the tables and bar eating. However, there was NO employee at the front door to greet the customers as they came in. Not good customer service in my opinion. Anyway, when I left within 5 minutes of looking around the two older ladies also left. I am sure they left the restaurant because nobody was around to help them. I guess they decided to leave and bring their business elsewhere. I understand your restaurant maybe short staffed, but you may want to instruct your staff to constantly scan the front door to ensure new customers are being taken care of. Hope the food wait is better than the time it takes to get seated. read more

Had a really great experience at IHOP/ APPLEBEES thanks to our server James P and the manager Richard. The service was excellent from start to finish. James was very patient, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Richard was also very professional and friendly. Great customer service like this really makes a difference. Definitely coming back! read more

With all the iconic sports jerseys and wall images of yesteryear- whether fake or at one point real(?), Applebee's gives off 'Waiting...' decor- without the kitchen pranks. We had plans to pick up fried fish from a Dominican spot in Elmsford- but after seeing their lot full, we changed course and came here. Plus, this would put us on our path afterwards to head up north anyway. I hadn't been in an Applebee's in eons- so I had no idea what to order. Plus the last time I was in one, was when I ate poultry and would munch on buffalo wings til there was no tomorrow. This space is like all others- spacious. The large-size booths, high-top seating and the telltale sign of them all- the bar area with TVs in every angle- where everyone hangs out for hours or leave after a quick drink. I personally felt this Applebee's was welcoming. The host did his job and our server Katelin(sp?) was attentive on an early Thursday afternoon. My Cajun-styled salmon+my choice of extra veggies as I ditched the mashed p. was very nice. The string beans were garlicky+buttery but the broccoli needed the same seasoning to make them pop. Hubs also enjoyed his grilled chicken breast+the same veggies to the fullest. Our non-alcohol drinks were great on a humid day. Even with the few Pescatarian dishes- I'm digging it. I just saw Applebee's in a different light. The proteins we ordered were beyond what I expected. Wholesome. read more

Had a great time! Server did very well! What a classic brand and they're still killing it

Well I was SO DISAPPOINTED. The chicken had such a strange texture to it. Was it chicken or some kind of make believe chicken. And the SALT on the food was too much. The sides were good. But that CHICKEN someone tell me why is was so so strange. Anyone else have this problem. Will think twice about going back and ordering chicken. Service was very good. read more

Visited this location and ordered the boneless chicken which was very good by the way. I also ordered a different rum bucket today which was horrible tasting and I didn't have the bucket filled To capacity because I didn't want the shenanigans with the whole bucket filled with ice and No drink. The bucket drink was terrible at best. I did order the perfect patron Margarita which is always my go to drink and that did not disappoint. The end. Happy drinking or eating Also I seen a roach crawling behind the bar. Well I'm about to head on out after seeing that. The roach has now clocked in for work and I'm not about to put him or her on my payroll so for that I'm out. These roaches have no respect @ this 8:00 p.m April 7 2024.. The end read more

The food was great. But out server Lexi was even better. We will definitely be back. The combination of IHOP and Applebees is a great idea.

Easily the best experience I have ever had at an applebees before! best wonton tacos ever!

Everyone else in my party enjoyed their meal . My salad was the worst drenched in dressing and dry chicken service took a while as well but for what it is I wasn't overly upset. I'll say this I'd come back try once more just pick something else ... staff was kind plenty of parking big space . read more

So as most millennials, I spent much of my high school weekends at Applebee's after 10 pm with my friends for the half price appetizer deal. I know you know what I'm talking about and I know you were all about it. As I grew up and developed mature taste buds and a wallet with money in it not from dad, Applebees became the last resort chain restaurant fallback for meet ups. This particular Applebees makes most of the rest of them look good. It's located in the middle of nowhere in Hawthorne in one of those abandoned business park areas. They randomly have an outdoor garden seating area in the summer in the parking lot (yep) which I've never frequented but looks pretty if you ignore the parking lot backdrop thing. The decor is your standard Applebee's with their "local" kitschy thing. It's all the same and it hasn't changed in twenty years. It even still has that wall-to-wall green carpeting. And it continues to be oddly comforting on some level? The food is pretty bad. Like laughably so. I don't even know what to tell you to order here. It's all bad and, if it's passable, that's a solid win. And the menu prices are all over the place, with single items being quite expensive and combo items such as You Pick Two sort of things being only a couple dollars more. But they do have a bunch of TVs if you want to watch sports and good app and HH deals - so if you're a local or in the area running errands (see Home Depot down the street), it's not the worst place to stop in, especially because there's not much else for sports bars in this area. They also have weeknight specials such as Steak Night and Kids Eat Free Night which I think are unique to this location and a good deal. 2.5 if I could but rounding down since the food really is atrocious. read more

i enjoy coming here. very family friendly restaurant. pancake and burgers at the same location.

We were gifted a gift card for Applebees so found one close to us so we could use it. We got there around 11:45 and were seated right away. We ordered the 2 for $35 which came with an appetizer and 2 full sized entrees. Their menu prices were pretty expensive so this seemed like a good deal. We got the boneless wings with sweet Asian chili sauce and ranch on the side. They were really good. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and my bf got the sirloin steak (medium) with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Mine was really good but my bfs was not great at first. His steak was really unevenly cooked and parts were well done while others were rare and the mashed potatoes were cold. We had to track someone down to mention this to them because no one came by and they did correct it. On the second attempt it was much better! Overall I'm glad they corrected it but it took forever. read more

Great food, reasonable prices and fantastic service. Positivity began with the Hostess in front. Greetings were personable and friendly with a great smile!!! Yadira, our server, was attentive and interested in our satisfaction. Quiet and clean dining area. We enjoyed the Tilapia and Chicken Caesar salad. The French onion soup was really tastey and cheesy. I read the reviews with 1 star. Maybe a few bad nights but would not let them influence your choice for this location. read more

Geez it's been a long time since I been to Hawthorne as the area especially at night always seem desolation horror movie scene to me . Ok it's a visit to the area Applebee's and place is perfect for a typical American menu bite . Plenty of booths , tables and large bar area with plenty of TVs all around showing sports . Place is clean and bright , service is fast and steady and the Applebee's menu is typical boring and that's ok for a quick bite or longer if your watching the games but maybe adding sliders and pot stickers dumplings would be nice . Ok chicken wonton tacos and mozzarella sticks is good enough and no dessert as the dessert menu definitely needs a upgrade makeover . It is what it is and Applebee's is good enough on a Friday night .4 stars on my yelp meter . read more

I took my family to Applebee's for Mother's Day breakfast. It is served from 9 to 12 in Hawthorne, New York . You have to check not every Applebee's is serving breakfast. Today they were giving 1 free glasses of champagne to the mothers. It was very good service. Music is playing. I would definitely go back again . The food taste great. Plenty of parking. They have an outside patio in the front and on the side. read more

We went to Applebee's yesterday. We used to come here with our kids when they were toddlers. It's perfect if you have very young kids because the noise level accommodates it without a problem. The service is quite good. The food quality is really not good at all. The food was dry and tasteless. I ordered the riblets and it came with fries. The riblets were mostly dried pieces of meat smothered with sauce. There were broken bone fragments I had to keep picking out as I was chewing--not a good experience. They advertised a $6 drink which was a huge glass of frozen colored sugar water. Spinach and artichoke dip was really bad. It tasted old and reheated several times over. It just reminds me of why eating at locally owned restaurants are a better way to go. read more

Our hotel was located in the parking lot next to Applebees. We had just finished an evening tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and needed to grab a super late dinner. It was around 10pm on a Saturday and we ordered take out on their website. We were sent a text and our order was brought out right on time. Everything was hot and made just as we ordered it. Nothing was missing. They included ketchup, mayo and mustard in our to go bag, which was nice. We're not normally chain restaurant people, but it was late, they were opened and accepting orders and were right next to our hotel. We were not disappointed. read more

I was hungry and the options in this area seemed grim. I only saw a diner, this place, and a gas station. I came here because of the 50 cent mozzarella sticks promotion. I did the math and it would be the same price as a fast food meal with taxes and tip. I ordered water and 10 mozzarella sticks and my server was clearly not thrilled with my order. She was a lot friendlier to other diners so I could tell she has issues with me and wanted me to know it. My order arrived and I got 8 mozzarella sticks. I waved the man who brought them over and instead of apologizing and correcting it, he gave me a big speech about how he had two plates for two customers and gave me the wrong one. So he wants me to be understanding of his incompetence? He gave me the two mozzarella sticks with a forced apology and those two were cold and undercooked. My server made me wait 20 minutes for my check and the place was not crowded. Usually servers say thank you when they give me the check, she did not. I gave her a $3.00 tip which percentage wise is huge. Yes I know they care more about the dollar amount than the percent. I get it because the dollar amount pays the bills, but it was close to what she would have received if I ordered a full price appetizer for my lunch. I really wanted to give her the 20% for a $1.00 given her attitude but I felt bad. When I was driving away, I saw a fast food place literally a short distance away. If only I was a little more patient, I could have gone there. I gave 2 stars because I got what I paid for. read more

Very happy with service and food I'm a little disappointed that they can't make expresso martinis

This place needs some drastic changes. However, I feel like there is not much competition around the area, that this restaurant will still flourish. They are overpriced for the food that they sell. I'm not sure why many restaurants around Westchester area is so overly expensive for the quality of food that they sell. I had a basic hamburger to see how their food was, but it was oily and buns were just drenched and soggy. Their 5 wings for a dollar was worth probably less than a dollar. I was surprised to see how packed this place was because the food was not great. The only compliment I can give is to my server Sheila. She was great! read more

Whether a quick bite or dinner, the food is always fresh! Eat in or take out! Staff is super friendly! Parking out front!

I have been an apple bees fanatic for YEARS. Every time I go I always enjoy myself and my meal. However, the last time I went I had a terrible experience. Upon being seated we were given appetizer plates that were rather crusty. However, that was NOT the worst part of my time spent at this establishment. Every time I come I treat myself to boneless wings. When I cut one of my boneless wings open it was raw inside (see picture for example). I was shocked, disgusted, and most importantly I was disappointed read more

9/10/23 Ordered a mushroom burger with Swiss cheese. The cheese was bad it tasted like stale beer.Will never go back to that nasty place.

This was one of the worst experiences I ever had. First, our "Applebee's First Impression" hostess was acting incredibly rude and wasn't trying to accomadate our party of 9 consumers even though we were all there and there was available tables/booths that were capable of fitting us. After waiting for over 20 minutes during an uncrowded time, we were placed in a booth by the bar. The booth was BARELY enough to fit all the members, dirty, and uncomfortable throughout the entire duration. NOW, to the nail that drew the coffin in, the service/waiter that we received during this night was horrendous. Imagine, a restaurant that is popularized by its wacky menu items and cheap drinks, to be disrespected by our server making us do everything ourselves, pay, place our orders in the tablet and etc. The server's name (and i cannot stress this enough) is Javian. He was a tall, skinny man with facial hair and a caramel complexion. He had an attitude the whole time we were ordering and deciding what to order. I had him as our server previously and he wasn't willing to accept our gift cards that time and pulled a whole situation out of his a** with the manager and ultimately, the manager helped us and apologized for his rudeness. Even as we are sitting, the server has not returned and our current payment terminal has had to be replaced twice. I will never be stepping a foot into this Applebees franchise until I receive an apology from both the manager and the server we had an unfortunate and terrible encounter with. read more

The service was amazing number one. The steak was done the way I ordered, medium rare. The sides were complete and delivered tender and hot (broccoli and mashed potatoes). I travel a lot throughout the US , this has been best the Applebees I've been to. Vicky has been stupidly amazing. She even remembered me from a month before I came to the second time. The food was delivered as ordered. Better than anywhere I've been in TX. Just saying. read more

I ordered car side pick up from the Hawthorne NY location and my food came out 45 minutes later. There were a few people in the waiting room who waited for their food for almost an hour. In this pandemic times, I want to support the restaurants but I don't want to eat indoor so I order take out either curbside/car side pick up or to go takeout orders BUT it discourages me that the restaurants like this Applebee's are not honoring their promise for the food to be there on time and in this case, food is not even ready to be picked up an hour later for some people. It is clearly a case of poor operational planning. This discourages a lot of people to support restaurants. Also they made a mistake on my order. I ordered broccoli for sides but there was no broccoli. So disappointed and sad. read more

I'm writing this review a day after my visit. It was late last night. My order was two cups of coffee, onion rings for the appetizer, and two dishes from the 2 x $20 menu. Grilled chicken and chicken fingers with french fries. The rings were almost burnt. And the chicken fingers were also breaded and closed to burnt. Both horrible. The young lady that served out table, was about the only thing that I can speak good about. Disappointed dinner in quality to say least. read more
