For years now, I took Applebee's out of my list of places to eat. It was always a disappointment. We were driving home from the beach. Not knowing much about the area we thought it would be better to eat at a restaurant chain. We were so glad we took the risk. We actually enjoyed our food. The servers were friendly and the service was quite fast. It's still definitely not a place for vegetarians. Hopefully they'll revisit their menu soon and maybe add some vegetarian dishes. read more

Was OK. Service was standard but nothing more. Charged me for 3 drinks I only got. When I questioned it the server said, "oh yeah I meant to fix that, do you want me to take that off?" I thought no ma'am I think I'll pay for it just for the shits and giggles. "Yes please" was my actual response. .....? I still tipped 18% but to assume I'm going to pay for a mistake is just dumb. Food was OK, again standard but plate presentation was cool. read more

Update: - 5 star customer service - After my 1 star review previously, I spoke with the manager who was very apologetic and went out of his way to make things right even going beyond our expectations. We went back and although he said to let him know we were there we didn't do that because we wanted the real experience. He was right, our last experience wasn't normal and our service and food was very good. We will not let the one bad day stop us from returning. read more

Typical chain restaurant. We like to sit in the bar area for Happy Hour which is 3-6pm, they have the machines at the tables to order, cash out or play games. If you opt to play games, they will add .99 to your bill. The service is nice and fast. The drinks are good but not that strong. We ordered the All American Cheeseburger and the Bacon Burger, both came with endless french fries. The fries were ok, they put a house seasoning salt on them which has green specks in it (I think it's parsley?). My cheeseburger was pink/red in the middle which is a huge turn off for me. I wound up cutting it up and only eating the edges. My BF said his Bacon Burger was just OK. There are better burger places so I wouldn't order that again here. I have had their chicken salad before and it was good. read more

Food was very good served very new and needed more training. She was a very pleasant young lady but did not come around often enough. One bad thing is we were sat directly under the ac vents. read more

I don't know what has happened to this place but it took the curbside to go guy three tries to get me the right ticket and it even says what your driving, ford truck not Subaru Impreza. So after the third trip inside to find the ticket I still got the wrong food then he got it back gave me bags with my food said Juan on it. Not my name and the cup soup was 1/3 of a cup. Ridiculous . Glad my order was verified by Anthony. read more

Went to dinner tonight and our waitress was fantastic! My food came and was wonderful, but I wasn't hungry. Our waitress was worried that I didn't enjoy my meal and was ready to make my meal anyway she needed to get to enjoy it more. I sadly did not get her name, but I do know she only works weekends and has littles at home. If you read this please know we will be back and hope to have you as our waitress again. read more

When I got home with my call in order, the bottom bun was soggy. Onion rings were cold.

Always a good place to eat when your not sure what you want! This location does get crazy busy especially on weekends to the point that sometimes you have to wait to be seated. The bar usually has plenty of seats while you wait though. The staff have worked here quite awhile and do a genuinely good job to make you feel at home. The food always tastes just the way you'd expect it would, no burned or bland food here. They have an impressive selection of mixed drinks as well depending on the season as well as the always good perfect margaritas. read more

Applebee's in Vancouver on Mill Plain great. Service and food liked it. Clean and service was prompt. Applebee's in Longview. If they closed the doors wouldn't miss it a bit . I am not the only one that shares this opinion of the place. Very dissatisfied.......... Will never go back to the Longview chain. read more

I ordered a chicken and shrimp dinner. I got a piece of chicken the size of a drink coaster, an ice cream scoop of potatoes and 4-5 small shrimp for nearly $17.00. I can get more in a frozen dinner from Winco for about three bucks. Raise prices if you must, but don't offer me a kiddie meal for an adult price. Or at least offer a second dinner for half off so I don't leave hungry. read more

My wife and I went here on a Friday night, it was pretty busy witch you could expect on a Friday.

I have always loved this Applebee's from the day they opened, but tonight I had such wonderful service, I had to give them Kudos! First off, it was my birthday, and I was not happy about it. It has been a very lonely day. I did, however, get a neat Applebee's gift card, so I went and got an order to go. Just casual conversation with the gal, and told her I got the GC for my birthday and it was about the only thing that went right. She stops as I was going out the door and says "TODAY is your birthday?" yes, I said. "Well, you get a free dessert!" It was so nice.. She didn't have to do that and I would have never known, but she wanted to. :) And I got a hug before I left! That's super customer service! read more

If I could rate this place a quarter of a star I would. Their staff are rude, and disrespectful. They never fill your whole order out if you order from their food to be delivered from say, GrubHub or whatever service you use that actually delivers their food and on top of all that, their food at this location was not very good at all on 3 different occasions. The also are not respectful at all to the less fortunate, I.E I watched them be very rude and disrespectfully kick someone who was very clearly stranded and stressed out that had said in quite a respectful manner that they just needed their (supposedly free lol) Wifi to get a ride home. (mind you they obviously werent from this town, and had very little or no money or they knew them to waste their money on this establishment.) They were then even more rude to this man, who wasn't bothering anyone as far as I could tell. In fact he seemed very intent on keeping his distance from the customers and and/or the doorways. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, in fact I would either do a complete course on how to respect your fellow human being on top of that I would make the cooks LEARN how to prepare the food they are cooking as well as the people who fill the orders I would ask them to either get glasses or stop trying to hustle people on every mobile order .In the end, the moral of the story is this Applebee's sucks. Give us a TGIF (: read more

Haven't been here is a zillion years! Started with no one to seat us. Ordered a fresh cup of decaf coffee, had to send it back even though she said it was a new pot. Used their machine to request a server about the coffee, did it again after no one showed up for 10 minutes, AND another server walked by us four times and ignored our blinking red light! Salsa and chips were good. Had the riblets and the brisket tacos. Both were good and hot Had to ring up the server again to get the check. Liked the server. Didn't like that they turned the light down by half at 4pm, could hardly see! Also didn't like how the server that ignored our help light but had plenty of time to visit with her friends seated behind us! read more

awful service from walking in. messed up my order, insisted I had to give the food back that they would just be throwing away to remake the food the right way. wasteful when I could have saved the messed up food for a homeless person, instead of them throwing it away. read more

Worst service I have ever had at any Applebee's. Waited a good 15 minutes before being seated, even though the restaurant was very dead. After being seated it took a good amount of time to get the waitress to come over and collect our drink orders. After placing our drink orders we ordered food and appetizers for the table. After bringing the appetizers out we did not receive any silverware or napkins for some time . We had to ask the waitress for a spoon for the coffee and for the soup. After getting our food we needed to ask for more silverware due to the fact she only brought out two spoons . Overall the service and drive was very poor. I can clearly see why this place only has two stars. Go there if you would like poor service and don't mind doing the job for the waitress. read more

I had a steak cooked to perfection. Very flavorful, very tender. Excellent meal and wonderful service! Jewel was a very attentive server and answered all of my questions and was very pleasant! Consistently good service and food at this Applebees. read more

Food was great! Service was great but a tad slow. Bathroom was a 5 out of 10 scale. Stall walls and toilet paper dispensers are dirty !!! Trash can over flowing. Waited almost 15min. Just for our ticket to cash out.Other than that it was a pleasant experience. read more

Applebee's is OK sometimes. Our most recent visit to this one was anything but. I'd love to review the food, however we didn't make it that far. When we walked in, the hostess told us it would be 5-10minute wait. That's fine. 15 minutes later we got a table, after perusing the menu for another 15 minutes without out any interest from a waiter we left. Now, I can't say it was busy by any means as it looked like slightly over half the tables had anyone at them. Typical Applebee's. read more

This place has gone down hill..My husband and I would go here for lunch sometimes on the weekend and sit in the bar...we like the atmosphere and the cocktails and food were usually pretty good. I recently went with my son...The place was clean but the service and food were terrible. What I ordered didn't look quite like the picture...and the steak was over done and tough. I couldn't finish it. My son ordered a dish with chicken, and the chicken was dry and over cooked. After ordering our food, we never saw our waitress. We won't be going back. read more

The last time I went to the local Applebee's a woman's child was getting sick, so she held it over the side of the booth and let the child vomit all over the floor. While it's hard to blame the establishment for this specific instance it's fairly indicative of what I've come to expect from out Applebee's. The time before that we ordered an appetizer and drinks, waited 45 minutes and had nothing to show for it. The time before that my wife sent her food back twice because it was straight up cold. You know what you're getting into eating at Applebee's. read more

Actually not bad for an Applebee's. I think it's fairly new so it hasn't had time to get run down and old looking like most of the rest of the chain. And if you find yourself in Longview this is probably going to be one of your better options. The night we went it was pretty packed and it must have been Prom time because there was a group of high school kids all dressed up in formals. Yup, Prom night at Applebee's. Truly a Night to Remember. But that's how they roll in Longview. It's got all the usual Applebee's staples, and the service was fine, so this is a good stopgap until you get back to civilization (Seattle or Portland). read more

Worst. Restaurant. Ever. 4 cheese macaroni and chicken tenders forgot the cheese and the chicken. $10 Patron Margarita forgot the tequila. And when they advertise specials of 1 appetizer and 2 entrees for $20, make sure you specify that is what you are ordering, otherwise you won't get it. I'd give them 0 stars if I could. I haven't been to a chain restaurant in a long time, and this was a stark reminder to eat local! read more

When you walk in Matt the greeter and the host, you know it is going to be a great experience and we were not disappointed, very friendly staff, really good food with a very short wait 5 stars Thank you, What a Blessing read more

We swore off Applebee's years ago. My hubby wanted to try it because we were in town visiting in laws and needed to eat. They had a full rebranding and we thought maybe it would be a positive change. Can't say it made a difference. Crowded, chaotic as hell. They ran out of cups, spoons, and plates. Our waitress was as good as she could be given the circumstances, but it was pretty difficult to get her attention. The food was again, mediocre at best. I got Mexican lime chicken (?) that was on a bed of tortilla strips and literally a slice of cheese on the chicken. Uhhhh WAT. It was awkward to eat and frankly not appetizing. I will continue to swear off Applebee's until the end of existence. Ha. read more

The only star I'm giving goes towards the drinks and service...that saying, my food and my fiancés food was horrific. We couldn't stomach it...and we sent it back! This place is good for apps and a stiff margarita... So if you have a cast iron stomach and a lazy pallet c'mon down for diarrhea Watch the movie "WAITING" it's just like this place read more

Our visit actually took place a couple of weeks ago but I forgot to post my review on here. Thinking about our visit still frustrates me... my husband and I had a spontaneous "date" to this amazing establishment. We arrived around 8 o clock at night on a Friday. We ordered our food; I think I ordered the fish and chips and my husband ordered some sort of salad and an order of boneless wings and spinach artichoke dip. (Sidenote: if you get a caesar salad from this location, always order the dressing on the side. Unless you like your salad SWIMMING in dressing. It had also sat for a while because every caesar salad I've ordered from there was soggy and severely over dressed) Upon ordering the boneless wings, the waiter says, "would you like those the same time as your meal or would you like them before your meal. Just an fyi; if you want them before you meal, it's going to make your wait time for food a lot longer because they take more time." I was thankful for the heads up and told him we'll just take it with our meal. We didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out and we happily ate our meal... so far, the visit was really well. After about 15 min of getting our entrees, we still had not received the boneless wings. So, I just figured they were just taking a little longer. We continued to eat and the waiter finally came to check on us after we were 80 percent done with our meal(about 30 min after receiving our food). He asked us how everything was or if we needed anything. I told him that everything was fine but we never received our boneless wings. He apologized and said, "the kitchen forgot to make them." But if we wanted, he can have the kitchen to make some but again, it would take a long time. (At this point I realized that he just never put the order in and was trying to shift blame on the kitchen). And I just want to put emphasis on this: I was annoyed but I was not rude, I just said a flat no. And he left us to "enjoy" the rest of our meal. I also realized that this guys is (respectfully) not cut out to be a waiter. I understand that the public can be hard to serve and people are assholes but I was FAR from being an asshole. I had not complained or given him a hard time about the wings... I literally, only said, "no." I had just gotten off of work, tired, hungry and quite frankly, the boneless wings are the ONLY reason we come back to applebees (were simply people). So, I'm sure my tone of voice when saying, "no" came off annoyed (and rightfully so)but rude?...it was not. After about 15 more minutes, my husband and I finish our meals and had some leftovers to take home. So, we sit and wait for 45 MORE MINUTES for our waiter to come back and cash us out. I guess by me saying no to the wings was traumatizing, the guy just decided to not come back to the table. (I wish I was joking.)At that point I was like, just forget about it... I'll pay with the tablet thing (which I'm pretty sure was what he was hoping we would do) but it had died about half way through our meal. Growing even more impatient, not one employee could be seen or flagged down for another 10 min. I've never dined and dashed but at this point, I was ready to just get up and walk out. By the time I had gotten fed up, my husband just got up and talked to one of the hostesses about getting our check. 50 min AFTER finishing our food, we were able to cash out and leave. Now, my last contribution to this review is, if you have crippling social anxiety or anxiety in general and you're allergic to the SLIGHTEST bit of confrontation, maybe you shouldn't be a waiter... read more

This review is only for the Happy Hour menu and service. We came through tonight after dropping off some kiddos, and realized it was still happy hour time at Applebees. Walked in and seated ourselves, and then realized the people in the booth near us were headed out, so we took their booth. The waitress looked momentarily confused, but quickly recovered with our encouragement. The table hardly looked dirty, but she still brought a cloth and asked to please wipe it. We shared the boneless buffalo wings (fine, could have come from a micro), husband had the sliders (buns were really soft and good), and I had the wonton tacos. It was all fine and good for happy hour prices. Waitress kept drinks full and things cleared. We were happy. read more

The waitresses were extremely rude to myself and my girlfriend. Rolling their eyes just because I wanted to ask my girlfriend what she wanted to share for an appetizer. So naturally, we left. Horrible service. read more

Tried curbside for the first time tonight. They were very apologetic as our order was 20 minutes late, but when we got home one order was right and the other was wing. IF I do this again, we'll check the order before we leave. read more

A friend and I had met for dinner and decided on Applebee's.. It had been quite some time, since I had patronized this restaurant, as in the past, I had not been all that impressed. We arrived around dinner time..and the place was semi-full.. We were seated in a dark corner and asked if we could possibly get a window seat..which, our server promptly accommodated.. We were given ample time to examine our menu and see what options we had.. I decided on the "Shrimp stir-fry"...It was DELICIOUS!!! The service was very attentive..without being intrusive.. Being a server, myself, I am often a bit critical..and overly observant of customer service.. In departing, I was very satisfied with not only the food..but, the service.. I wish I had noticed the name of our server..as she was very friendly, thorough and assisted us every step of the way..in respect to our menu choices.. I will definitely be back..! read more

I do so much enjoy the food here but if I could make a critic, please make bigger portions! Everytime that I have ordered pasta it is delicious but hardly there! read more

Had a question.....not even a problem lol...with my online pickup order tonight and EVERYBODY from the sweet waitress Hailey to the person who answered the phone when I called, to the manager (Shauna from Vancouver) were so pleasant and helpful.

Ordered online. Easy enough process. Set order for puck up at 5:30pm. I showed up 10 min early, but my food wasn't ready until 5:40. A 10 min wait is typically not a big deal, but..... Our food was not hot, bottom bun was soggy, order was wrong. Will not go back here again. read more

Be aware that several items on the "2 for $22" menu actually have additional charges - that is very misleading. If they cost more - they should not be part of the 2 for $22 menu. We used to love Applebees, but rarely go there and after realizing how misleading their website is - they would be on the bottom of our list of places to go. read more

Mac and cheese tasted like rubber. Nothing is freshly made, except for steamed broccolis. Disgusting place.
