Edited after Dan the manager reached out to make things right. Don't order curbside here. Order supposed to be ready for 7. Sit outside til 7:25, they just stare at you through the window and don't come out, once you go inside you find out your food has been ready the entire time so they bring you a bag of cold food. Don't waste your time or your money like I did. read more

This is your typical Applebees, the food is salty and mediocre at best. The servers are decent, but it gets loud and honestly the food isn't worth the price read more

First the waitress was extremely rude. We came for a dinner date and she gave me attitude when I asked what was in something. However when my fiancé asked, she'd play with her hair and giggle. She brought out his drink and the baby's drink but, mine took another 10 minutes and all I got was a soda. Our appetizer took forever to come and then once it did, the food was right after it so it was extremely chaotic and we had no room or time to really enjoy our meal. I will not be coming back here after this. Extremely disappointed. My fiancé also got really sick after eating here. read more

I always do the takeout here and haven't had the chance to eat inside yet. every time I walk inside the restaurant to pick up my order everything is clean and it looks like a great place to have dinner. Every time I pick up takeout, the workers are always helpful and kind. the food is typical Applebee's pretty good but not crazy good. This place is solid read more

We went to Applebees because we had a gift card. We didn't think we would enjoy as much as we did!! I had the Chicken Tenders with Buffalo and Ranch, was delicious-moist and crunchy. Husband had the cheese burger which he said was very good. Service was also very good too!! read more

Love the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli, they also have a nice selection of drinks plus the wait was not bad at all, employees are very friendly and welcoming, plenty of parking and they have the option for curb side pickups for fast service. read more

Where do I begin... It takes you a lifetime to get your food and drinks. The servers are very nice though and if things are moving slow they will apologize and sometimes make your drinks free but can it make up for the amount of time you wait for your food to come and be dry and pretty cold. The boneless chicken wings were cold in the middle and the buffalo sauce looks like they got it from the toilet. The bacon cheeseburger was very dry and hard to eat. The only reason I gave it a 2/5 is because the servers are very friendly and know how bad the food is here. read more

Wrong food! Cold food!! Waitress was genuinely upset and apologetic. How does a major chain restaurant continually serve wrong and cold food (this is not the first time). Too bad, as it's a great "stopping point" between Vermont and Mass on a day ride. read more

We ate lunch here today, it was very good. We started with the artichoke and spinach dip and than we both had the chicken tex mex bowls, they are very good and filling. For a chain, they do a good job. Restaurant was very clean and the service was good. We recommend. read more

AWFUL SLOW UNPROFESSIONAL Was told there would be a 20 minute wait, waited 45 before leaving. A mom and her kids that came in 10 minutes after us and was seated first because she started complaining loudly. We were bothered but let it slide thinking we would be next. A large reservation came up that was NOT at the restaurant, so another group that had come in maybe 5 minutes before the Reservation was called literally said he could "pretend to be them" and was seated. Very unprofessional. Left and will not be returning. read more

Went here for lunch the other day. Big mistake! My dad ordered the quesadilla burger and my mom and I had the two for 24 with appetizer of onion rings and we both had a chicken dish with quinoa and rice with cranberries and apples. We were seated quickly and had an awesome waiter. He was very attentive and helpful. We didn't have the heart to tell him just how horrible the food was. The onion rings came out fast, but they were horrible! We were starving and we each managed to eat one before putting the test aside for the waiter to take. They were greasy, salty, and had a really strange texture. My dad said the burger was slimy and gross, my mom's chicken was gristly, mine was ok but had a strange texture. Dad's fries were way over salted and soft and floppy. Then, as we are waiting for our food (which took almost an hour) we notice that their are more than a couple of flies hanging around. The bathroom was clean, though, so hoping it had nothing to do with the kitchen. Needless to say, we.all went home feeling quite ill. We will never go back. Almost 40 dollars for frozen, salty, mushy food. Normally, I read reviews beforehand, but unfortunately this time I didn't. My advice, go anywhere else. read more

It's an Applebee's. There isn't a Friendly's in Keene as of May of 2019 and this very well could take its place in that category of chain restaurants. Average as can be. Good for a low key late drink though. read more

This place is horrible!!!! The hostess tonight was rude and looked down on me !! She didn't understand why my takeout order that was more than 15 minutes late would bother me!!! IT WAS 15 MINUTES LATE!!! I have a busy schedule and don't have 15 minutes to waste!! The rude fruity looking manager had the same attitude as the butter faced hostess !!! No wonder why this place has 2 stars!!!!! read more

Rude staff. Called 2 days prior and an hour in advance that we were coming with a large group. Showed up and told us 10 mins to get the tables they sectioned off ready. 2 other staff members came over 2 mins later saying it would be 1:45-2 hours. It's a Monday night at Applebees and there's 2 tables ahead of us waiting. Just say you don't want to deal with a large party. Unprofessional and rude considering the place had seats available for us. read more

Here we go, The first time i visited with my family I had a good time good food bluh bluh bluh. But yet, the three past times i have had terrible service and just not a good experience. The bartender was flirting with my kid and was making weird faces. Also I think my wife had sex with a man tyrone in the bathroom. I will not be coming back, Thanks read more

Typical standard Applebee's bar and grill, nothing special. For a Monday night they were pretty busy. The burgers only come 2 ways, pink or not pink. In other words cooked a lot or cooked a little. The red apple sangria wasn't bad, I just wish it was cold before I started drinking it. They do not have a big pitcher of sangria ready, so there is a little inconsistency with the drinks. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good but I was hungry and it filled a void. read more

We placed a To Go order from Applebee's while driving through Keene. We got two orders of the chicken tender dinner. The chicken was yummy, and not too bready along with the fries being more potato like than fried. The reason for the 3 star is not including the plastic ware I requested and we were also missing our coleslaw. Otherwise happy with outcome... read more

The chicken and shrimp I ordered came with a violent case of food poisoning. Has been okay in past but no need to go here when the longhorn is two blocks away. I've eaten way too many gas station chicken salad sandwiches to get sick from a chain restaurant. read more

I stopped at this restaurant after an extremely long day on 4/25. It was about 1100 PM. I know it's late, I wanted a quick burger and planned on being in and out in 30 minutes or less. Waitress was 11 minutes from when I sat down to taking my order. I ordered a Diet Coke and. A buyer off the menu. The menu said it came with mayo, lettuce and tomato. I asked her to hold the lettuce and tomato.... The order came right and was tossed down with such speed the runner didn't even stop so I couldn't ask for a drink refill.... there was NO may, and there WAS lettuce and tomato....my waitress was now sitting in a booth with her boyfriend and her or his parents. I couldn't flag her down, couldn't get anyone's attention....after 30 minute of waiting she came by tossed my check on the table, so I gave her my card as I already had it out. I left her a 10% tip and left. I'm not a huge fan of chains anyways but this was by far the worst Applebee's experience I've ever had. I will never go back and I spend plenty of time in Keene. read more

My wife and I went to this Applebee's on a Monday night. Got there at 5:30 and was seated right away. It was not at all busy. It took ten minutes for our waitress to come to the table to take our order. Then we waited almost an hour for our food. When we asked our waitress to see a manager she said she would bring him to our table. She left and we never saw her again. We never saw the manager. We never got our food. After giving them plenty of time to make things right we decided to leave. Horrible waitress! read more

Food = decent. Service = HORRIBLE I went here with family because it is where my mom wanted to go. The service was horrible. Our order was taken around the time our drinks should have been there, our drinks were out by the time our salad should have been there, and our salads were out by the time our entrees should have been out. After we finished the salad. [Please note that we have not gotten ANY refills on our drinks and have not been checked on.] Our waitress came by and asked us if we wanted...the check. Hellooooo! How about our damn food first?!?! She scurried to the kitchen and rushed back with plates of food that were cold. She even had the nerve to lie to our faces and say that it had just come out. Yeah right. How stupid do you think we are??? At this point she finally offered to get us more to drink. She couldn't even remember what I had in the first place. Needless to say she was not tipped. Here's the cherry on top. I accidentally left my glasses in the bathroom and had to call back later to see if someone had turned them in. The lady on the phone could not have been more rude if she tried. Like I said the food is fine but not worth the BS you have to go through to get it. You wanna be worthy of being open? Try a complete overhaul of your staff. read more

Today was a nightmare. Me and my fiancé had gone into the keen Applebee's to celebrate her birthday. We both ordered the bourbon steak because it looked amazing on the menu. After I had placed our orders the waitress walked over to the kiosk to cash another customer out. As loudly as she could her and another co-worker had started to pick on me for how I ordered my steak. Mentioning loudly on her way out I was Grose for having ordered my steak that way. Not the part that bothered me though. we were waiting and the place was relatively dead. But we waited over an hour to get our food. By the bar the manager was sitting at a table with the other co-workers because it was dead. He kept looking over in my direction. Then he started to get very loud. He was to my surprise insulting my fiancé. It was dead so it was very easy to hear their conversation. He had stated out loud looking in our direction that my fiancé looked like a "Giant Human Pig". They had all started laughing and carrying on. Glancing at us the whole time. We had finally gotten our food. But my fiancé was in tears before we had time to enjoy our meal. It was an insulting and very nightmarish visit. I was furious on my way out. She just wanted to have a normal birthday celebration. And not be insulted for her disability. I will never eat at this restaurant again and advise people to be weary. You are paying customers who don't deserve to be treated the way we were. read more

The vacuuming sucked but not the suckiest part of our experience here. We went here late around 9pm...they were open till 10:30pm( we decided on Applebees because it was supposed to be open till midnight). I get it staff shortages and whatnot places may close earlier than expected. The evening started well, the waitress was not very energetic or super friendly. We got our drinks and ordered our food. After we had a couple drinks we ordered a third. We were then informed " I don't know if I can give you another drink, I have to see how long you have been here". Comes back and says " no I can't give you another drink, you've been here 36 minutes." So we were finishing our dinner and we're talking. It still was not after 10pm. They started vacuuming and throwing tables around, they obviously wanted us to leave. Not a good experience, if you want to go out drinking. Don't go here! They obviously don't want the patronage. I'd rather stand in the parking lot and burn my money then give them anything. read more

We did a curb side pick up of 3 burgers and a few of appetizers. Everything was there and in great shape. Delicious stuff! Great service even in the rain! Thanks Deaven! read more

My 11yr old son puked and had to use the bathroom a lot after eating the Fiesta lime chicken dinner here. I believe it may be food poisoning. I will NOT Go back here! read more

The food there is AMAZING the waiters are friendly I would definitely good there again.

The food here is pretty mediocre, and a little pricey for what you actually get. The staff is always very nice, but the service is so friggin slow. read more

Do I need to review Applebee's for you? Do you really need to know the type of food this American restaurant chain offers? Click the website link for the menu. The food/drink here is nothing you can't find at any other franchise location. What I noticed, and it may be dependent on the time of day, is there are regulars. I ate at the bar on a Wednesday night and the redhead bartender, Emily, not only knew who at the bar had eaten there before but what drink they preferred. read more

almost every time I'm here they mess up my order and whoever else I'm I think they need to pay more attention to what people's orders are.

The food is AMAZING. The drinks is awesome. People who works there is very friendly and nice. They're deaf friendly to deaf people

Great restaurant, going inside is usually quiet and pleasant but the service is slow. Servers are always nice when you go inside and eat. I've given them only 2 stars because when ordering carside to go the food is cold and or gross. Ive gotten rock solid buns and room temperature food using carside. When i complained about the bun i was given a gift certificate which i redeemed two days later. When i went in to get my food the server said the manager was packing it up right then. However i waited another 20min before getting my food. While i was waiting the server and a hostess come out of the kitchen laughing when i looked up the hostess stopped laughing and i could see she was still smirking trying not to laugh at me. I believe they may have tampered with the food. read more

I'm new to this area as a travel nurse from TX. I came in for lunch around 1:30 and ordered the fajitas with no rice. My meal came out with rice and I asked the bartender, because I sat at the bar to please take it back and remove the rice very nicely. My meal came back out a few minutes later and all the veggies were ice cold. I told the bartender and she did offer to take it back again to "warm up the vegetables". It may just be me, but having to send a meal back a second time just makes me feel uncomfortable about the way my food will be treated in the back. I told her to please take it off my tab and asked for the manager. I later found out that his name was Chris, very nice guy. He came to me and I explained what had happened. He did ask if he could have it remade, but like I said, I don't feel good about having a meal remade for a third time. They did say that they were taking it off my tab, but didn't offer to make it up in any other way or even take care of my drink. Don't get me wrong, I'm not wanting anything for free, but they could've at least offered an incentive to come back and try it out again. I'll always give an establishment a second try as I do know things can happen, but this wasn't a good experience at all. Now to find me some food elsewhere. So frustrating. read more

They messed up our order entirely, didn't seem to bother them the burger had no flavor the meat was dry. ruined my meal and the rest of my night, won't be coming here anymore read more

Was looking forward a nice dinner as we have been here many times and have enjoyed ourselves. We got seated right off, but it went downhill from there. We sat there for over 15 minutes and we did not even see a waitress or even asked if we wanted a drink. After being ignored as we watched several waitresses go by us, we left feeling very disappointed and unsure if we will return. read more

Worst experience EVER!!!! Little things like brining my daughter regular milk when she asked for chocolate and me unsweetened ice tea when I asked for raspberry can be overlooked. But dirty ROLLED silverware, and cold food can not! Plus there is finding black things floating in your ice water after you've already drank half of it. Applebee's is usually a great experience for my family. This WAS NOT! I'd give zero stars if I could... Being a person who has been in the restaurant business for a long time I M usually pretty understanding of simple errors. This was all around horrible. No doubt the waitress could tell we were not pleased. We waited to be approached by management but that never happened. We won't be returning any time soon. read more

Cranky server. Food mediocre. But the kicker was when my daughter stepped in vomit right outside the front door (at 9:30pm on a weeknight). Charming. read more

-100 stars. I sat at the bar with 2 of my friends and there was about 10 waitress and waiters hanging around and every time I looked up they were just staring and watching. The bartender was great but it didn't seem like the rest of the crew was doing much. Annoyed. read more

Always a good choice for a family meal. Reliable service and good food. Prices are modest and they keep the menu fresh.

Since when do you need a parent with you to order a beer if youre of age. Absolutely ridiculous and waste of time.

Stopped to get lunch. The place was empty since they had just opened.The "hostess"? Seated us way in the back for whatever reason. Probably so we could be ignored easily! We waited 10 mins . Another couple came in and a waiter from the back walked right by us and greeted the people that just sat. We walked out. Wont be back. No excuse for that. Walked across the parking lot to Five Guys and ate lunch. Very very good read more
