They take so long to bring one plate like bro there was barely people there was only people in the bar and they didn't get anything like what read more

Kai was awesome. She was attentive, friendly and on point. The food was ok. Salmon was dry, but flavorful. Wife got the steak, ordered medium but got it medium well, almost no pink. Appetizers were on point, especially half off after 9. Not a bad place to hit up later in the evening. read more

My family and I placed a to-go order today through the app. We arrived a little earlier than the scheduled pick up time but our food was conveniently ready to go. They have designated parking spots for curbside/to-go orders located towards the back side of the restaurant away from the busy parking lot in the front making it easier to get in and out. The young man working the curbside orders today 8/7/23 between 5:00-5:30pm was so kind and welcoming and professional. Super respectful towards customers and seemed to enjoy his job. I wish we would've caught his name. Our order was correctly made and we left without any issue. My only reasoning for not giving 5 stars is the fact that the food itself seems to be very hit and miss especially when ordering for delivery. The salmon/chicken is usually over cooked and very dry. The app also does not give you the option to choose broccoli or a vegetable medley as advertised. Anyway, todays visit was good so thanks guys! :) read more

Our sever was Jessica Cook made our visit the best ! She was very welcoming and friendly from the start to finish . She was on our drinks and food suggestions were perfect and didn't fail! We will definitely be back will ask for her . Thank you Jessica read more

We reluctantly went there our main dish was fine but the guacamole we ordered was so bad, it tasted like it came out of jar but worse. It was bitter no onions or tomatoes and a funny texture and shiny with no visible pieces of avocado. Sent it back twice and the manager tried making it....yuck just tasted like lime juice. They did not bother to comp us either for the $10.49 we spent on something inedible. They need to do something about this place what a waste. read more

We come here often since it right by our house. They have a kids menu which is pretty affordable, it come with an entree and a side and a drink. We like to pick the 2 for $30 and I always get the chicken Alfredo while my husbands tends to try everything else. We like the chicken wonton tacos. Wait times can be long. read more

I do not always comment but I have to. On October 22nd, around 10:30pm, I walked in with my boyfriend and we waited to be seated. Then the male manager in red shirt came up and said very rudely that "just go to the bar." We asked if we could get a table, he said, "no its slow all day, we are only doing bar seats now" in a very agressive tone. We were so disturbed by his attitude. We didnt feel comfortable and most certainly disrespected from his actions and attitude toward us. He walked away from us fast and like he hated us. I dont know if he had any problem with our race or gender. Seems very odd that we saw around 4 staffs working there. I can understand that you guys are busy, but we, especially my boyfriend, cannot accept his attitude. He was very upset and wanted to leave immediately. Very disappointed! read more

Again this Applebee's again a disappointment!! order a classic appetizer and burger for hubby and shrimp bowl for me...we received our appetizer and we literally had two chips and they bought us our food....so now had to stop and eat our hot lunch.....server and back should communicate better ,had to bring home appetizers home and use microwave,,,,,,uhggggg....next time its Chilis to eat. read more

Horrible service. Not even a hello at entrance. Ugly stares. We also got sat down and no one came by AT ALL to even ask us for a drink. Really disappointing.. I've work in these restaurant chains for over 5 years and NEVER behaved this way. I understand we get frustrated with certain customers but you just have to keep going and brush it off. read more

I ordered the mozzarella caprese chicken and it was very good. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of chicken I got and tomato and mozzarella. I basically had more potatoes than anything. My friend ordered a steak and it was not good. He could barely eat it without spitting it out. He reordered another and it took 20 mins or more to come out. Once it did, it was slightly better. I guess that's what happens when you order steaks at Applebee's. The service was good and the wait staff and manager were nice. read more

If i could give this zero stars I would... service was horrible. The server attending us had so much attitude when we asked simple questions. Our cups were empty and when we asked for a refill we never got it. Our server did not come up to us at least once to check up on us. When we were done with our food and ready to pay, you would expect to be offered a box for the left overs and that did not happen. We had to ask another server and she was so rude about it, she literally sighed. Back to the main server, she walked up, didn't even ask what kind of payment we were going to make and said, "you can pay on the tablet" and walked away. I wish I could have got her name so that I could put it on here. Management should really talk to their employees about customer service. read more

We were in town visiting family sister in law wanted to go to Applebee's not my favorite but ok 6 adults seemed to be a little difficult to accommodate us all even though the place was not crowded everyone ordered food came out sporadicly of corse waiting on each other some of our food was no longer warm no salt & pepper catsup bottle was empty asked for more got a few pack they were out the manager comes out to see how it's going expressed not great he tried to connect with my husband wearing a Steeler jersey even pulled up pics on his phone I don't know if it was genuine maybe waitress said it was her second day again who knows won't be back ever read more

Steak was great. Salad was great. Waiter didn't ask how our food was during meal and didn't offer any refill during the meal. The place is old and the booths have had their best time. The springs are very weak causing you to sit very low. Time for a makeover here. The food tasted great by the way. read more

Love this Applebee's!!! Jeff the manager and Fabiana made this the best experience for a crazy Saturday night. We were served promptly and when the food came out it was still sizzling... love my food hot. The attentive service was a fresh breath of air. There's a reason they are popular...a well oiled machine from A to Z. They deserve 10 stars in my book because we are travelers in many states and by far the Manteca Applebee's is our favorite. read more

Wish i can do a ZERO STAR! My girlfriend and I had an unpleasant time here. Do Not recommend going here unless you want a dead fruit fly on your food. Ordered the Boneless Wings and tell me why we both spotted a dead fly on it? was the food not fresh? Had a server name of Amber, she seemed like she didn't wanna be there. Bad Service as Well. read more

Came here for family dinner and manager Gave my sister in law a free dessert. Would have given 4 stars but service was kind of slow. We need more like Jeff's service!! And salmon maybe a creamy sauce on top. Little to dry read more

We went in to Applebee's to celebrate my mothers birthday. She loves the chicken wonton's. The wait wasn't bad, only about 15 mins for them to prepare our table. We ordered several appetizers which were just average in flavor. Also along with the appetizers came dirty plates. We ordered spinach dip, salsa, mozzarella sticks, and buffalo wings. The only appetizer worth getting again would be the boneless buffalo chicken wings. When our entrees finally came my ribs were nearly cold. I did not enjoy the cold ribs. Food overall below average The customer services was also below average. It seemed impossible to get a refill on my drink. I noticed several waitresses see my empty glass and avoided eye contact with me so I could not ask for a refill. I even moved my glass around to ensure they would notice I needed it to be filled. Unfortunately eventually I will return to Applebee's because my stubborn family is refusing change and hasn't upgraded to Red Robbin or even Chilis. So the next time I come back I will just order the boneless buffalo wings. Even though I would still rather get them from anywhere else. read more

I ate here with my coworkers today. We had a party of 7 total and sat at the bigger round table (back left of the restaurant). We were greeted by our waitress Jessica after about 7-10 minutes sitting down. After everyone ordered their drinks, I spoke up and told her I think everyone's ready to order. I wasn't 100% sure if everyone was onboard and ready to order, but the people who were ready went first while the couple others made their lunch selection. I spoke up prematurely to get our orders put, because I had a feeling it'd take awhile to get drinks out. Where I work, we're given an hour lunch. We had come here a time or two within the past couple months and had always been able to get in and out during the hour. The food has always been decent and the service has always varied based on server. The 7-10 minute wait for the waitress to come up and introduce herself ended up foreshadowing an even greater waiting time for the food. There was actually a point during this visit where I thought the Cooks in the back had died. Over 30 minutes had gone by and nothing was coming out of the kitchen. Not even any of our appetizers. I was looking around at what looked I thought was a non-busy lunch service and literally saw no food coming out onto any tables. Jessica continued being attentive and refilled our drinks, but never mentioned she would go check on the food for us. After 40 minutes of waiting a couple started joking around at our table, 'did the cooks go on lunch break?', 'are they on smoke break or something?' You could tell their sense of humor was showing through as a veil clothing the frustration of the waiting period. Around 50 minutes had gone by and there was no visual sign of any food being brought out, no manager walking around on the floor assisting staff, and no one giving us any heads up of what was going on in the kitchen. I don't know if a cook or two quit half way into lunch service or what, it came off like the kitchen was completely cold. We flagged down Jessica as she was walking by and told her to tell the cooks that we needed to get the food boxed up and take it to go. We also needed help on splitting the checks 7 different ways manually because the Ziosk at the table wasn't working properly. Jessica went to the back and told them to box everything and must've not realized how much time had past. I'm assuming this because there was no apology about not getting any food to our table, and it hitting a point where we spent our whole lunch hour sitting around drinking tea, lemonade, and water. She informed us they were boxing it all up and got together everyone's checks split up appropriately. Finally onto the food here. I ordered the 2 for $24 with a co-worker. We both went with the chicken tender platter. The platter is an additional $2 on top of the standard chicken tender basket. You're promised a larger portion of food in the platter. After the even split, my tab was around $16 and some change. It was $12 and some change for the chicken tender platter and $2-3 for the drink plus tax. I mention the price for you to make a correlation with the image of the food I ended up receiving. The food was far from warm. When you're given fresh hot food in a plastic to-go box, the steam automatically starts fogging up the plastic container the food is in. The to-go container stayed clear the whole time and it had me wondering how long ago the food had actually been cooked. The icing on the cake here was that they forgot to include any dipping sauces for everyones meals. One in my party had ordered an oriental chicken salad and they gave him no dressing. They didn't even pack in any to go plasticware. To say this visit replicated my past visits here would be a lie. Obviously we saw this place as a decent spot to come for food if we had visited it a couple times somewhat recently. What's strange is the last time we were here, the staff seemed very cheery, jolly, and more than willing to teach the customers how to use the Ziosk's at the tables to help lighten your server's load. This time around it's like the place literally did a full 180 degree turn for the worst. I'm more than disappointed here. The portion sizes have always seemed fair and the food has always tasted fine. Not only did we end up wasting our time for horrible food, I felt ripped off paying a couple bucks extra to upsize my meal and get a laughable portion size. I'm not trying to come off cheap here. I want you to mentally correlate a $20 meal (when you include tip) with the food I received in my attached photo. If they continue down this track, this location won't be around much longer. I am beyond amazed at how you can have good service/food one day, only to return a couple weeks later and leave feeling like you should of just ordered at a jack in the box. I don't plan on returning to this location anytime soon. I don't know if there's been major staff changes or what happened but this place is going downhill big time. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Chicken Tender Platter - Sports Bars Near Me - Manteca, California

Don't know why this Applebee's has such low reviews. We walked over from my hotel and were pleasantly surprised with our service and our meal on a Sunday evening. We had the shrimp spinach salad and the shrimp Alfredo pasta. To our surprise, the shrimp was cooked perfectly in both cases. So many places over cook the shrimp. Our service was also fast and friendly. Prices are reasonable. It was a good meal and a easy walk from my hotel. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - I had eaten half of this delicious salad before I remembered to take a picture. Is the shrimp spinach salad with bacon dressing. - Sports Bars Near Me - Manteca, California

Wowwwww just ordered $93 worth of food from this location. 2 of the 2 for $22 and a steak dinner with appetizer. Ordered 3 steaks. One was to be medium rare and 2 well done. The steaks that were supposed to. E well done. Were bleeding rare. Had to cut them up and microwave them. Should have attached a before picture. Had to cut up my steak just so it would cook. Called to let them know- the girl who answered said let me see what we can do to fix this or comp you next time. The manager Ashleigh came on and said "oh sorry, I'll recalibrate the thermometer. Have a good night". Nothing, nothing for my time, inconvenience of having to precook it, or the money. This is shitty customer service. read more

Okay our waiter was amazing . She was very sweet and came up to check on us and offer me and my friend more drinks. But I had something disgusting happen to me ... as I was half way done with my second drink a nail came out of it . I informed the waiter and she brought her manager to see it . I was expecting at least our drinks to be free since it was a nail . But the manager just offered a new drink or to get that drink out of our bill . Obviously I was disgusted to have another drink . Don't think I'll have another drink there any time soon . Forsure It wasn't my nail because i have my nails done . Oh well read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Nail inside drink - Sports Bars Near Me - Manteca, California

Applebee's used to be one of my favorite Restaurants. Not anymore. We have suffered under dreadful service. One time our Waitress completely ignored us because she was chatting with other patrons. We decided to try one more time. The service was better but the food was over salted and almost inedible. Won't be won't be going back. read more

If i could give 0 stars i could. we said how many we had in our party. host was rude from the beginning. honestly waited over an hour to be seated. never received an update on when to be seated, host (never got his name) had an attitude when we asked. already started off on a bad note. he confirmed how many we had in our party, and still had a seat missing when he brought us to our table. once we were seated, Sophia took drinks and orders. brought our appetizers out, got our food order wrong and forgot about all things we had asked for (silverware, water, condiments for our meals) the manager, Jeff even came to our table when we first sat down and he and Sophia continued to watch us throughout our meal. Felt a little uncomfortable considering we couldn't eat in peace. Food was wrong and there was no point in getting it replaced because of the long wait. I wouldn't recommend returning to this location because we had the worse customer service. if you want better customer service, go to Jack in the Box across the street. read more

We travel all over the U.S. and have eaten at many Applebee's and this Applebee's in Manteca, CA is absolutely awesome from the service to the food! UPDATE 10/2/18 the last two times in the past two weeks, this Applebee's has gone downhill. Hate to say it because they were great until lately. Service sucks and the food comes out luke warm. We always order the bourbon street chicken and it used to come out sizzling hot and delicious! The last two times we ordered it, it came out barely warm. We took one bite and sent it back. The waiter brought us back our same plates with the same bite taken out and it was warm. The potato's weren't cooked all the way. Sucks when a good restaurant goes downhill! We won't be going back! read more

My husband and I went in Monday afternoon. First of all, it stunk! I am a very positive person but I'm sorry we had a very bad experience. The waitress said we could split the all you could eat wings. Then the manager brought them out and said that we couldn't share them. So we ordered fettuccini and then when we had asked for more wings they brought out like four and I might add reluctantly! With no fries and no coleslaw and no sauce! I will never go to another Applebees again! They have ruined it for me!!! read more

Hair in my plate. Gross! Not going back. Thanks Dave the waiter and Kim and Jeff for the bad customer service! read more

First and foremost if I could give zero stars I would. My husband and I just left here with utterly disgust and the feeling of unwelcomed! We normally go here from time to time and never had an issue. My review is based off what we experienced at the bar. Bartender was okay and everything. But there was like 2 couples that came in and sat next to us at the bar. Immediately I got a bad vibe from them. I ignored it because our food came and stuff. Well then we started noticing more people coming to the bar. Come to find out it was someone's birthday. FIRST OF ALL, why wouldn't you reserve a large table!!?? Mind you there was NO signs or warning from the bartender or any staff saying the bar was reserved! The original couples that sat next to us was apart of this large party. My husband and I couldn't enjoy our food because we felt bullied!! These people kept whispering " when are they gonna leave", "oh we should of just gotten a table"! They kept looking at us like hurry up. 1 lady who sat next to me kept kicking my chair. LOL! I can't make this up. I really wish I told her to stop but we just ended up leaving. To top it off after we paid and got up to leave the lady who kicked my chair, she was like " YAY"! UNBELIEVABLE. So beware of the regulars who come here mondays around 4:00PM-5:30PM they'll bully you. read more

Are here yesterday. First, the hostess was no where to be found, when she finally showed up, she was screaming so loud! Our booth was so worn out! Uncomfortable pot holes! The wallpaper was peeling off the wall. Our server was good, but the food was ridiculous. Six tiny little wings on a huge plate with one tiny slice of celery- it looked endemic. Salad was just ok, wilted & on the verge of the garbage can. For a lunch being over $40, (we don't drink) we expected a lot more. I'll never go back. Very sad. read more

OMG... so hard to support local restaurants when they don't take care of their patrons. We were eating outside with floor heaters that didn't even heat the table u were near. Freezing outside poor waitress. She was busting her butt in this cold weather. Invest in tall outdoor heaters. So disappointed read more

The past few times I've eaten at Applebee's it's been alright but today was the worst. Our server was attentive, nice and checked on us regularly but the food was terrible. The girl that bought out the food warned me that the plate was "really hot" but the food was semi cold... my 7 year old ordered a corn dog and half of the corn dog was burnt and the hot dog was all shriveled up, we tell our server and we get a new corn dog not a huge deal but then.... my kid orders a milkshake and there's a ant crawling on the cup and was so close to getting inside the milkshake! I tell the server and she smashes it on the cup with her finger and looked at us as is if it was ok now? No my kid isn't going to drink out of a cup that had bugs crawling on it who knows what else is going on inside that kitchen we definitely won't be coming back. read more

The management and staff at this location is very unprofessional. Reached out and made a complaint and haven't heard from organization either. read more

Terrible customer service, almost as if they have some sort of mental illness. Walked in with my family and waited to be seated once seated we waited for almost 20-30 minutes, when we ask for service, the lady proceeds to say, "they can wait" to another employee next to her. So we get up and leave, another lady employee then proceeds to say as she's standing by the door, "And don't come back" and because she said that, I am wondering if she was serious, joking around, or mentally ill. I definitely will not be coming back, but I do wonder how these people are still employed after talking to corporate and hearing that they have these kind of complaints from this location "all of the time"? Something needs to be done. read more

I don't even want to give this place a one star. I'm not sure if it's lack of staff or management. However, my husband and I took our two boys out to a Friday night dinner and the restaurant was out of almost everything on the menu of course we weren't told this until she came to take our order. They were out of all battered chicken, three cheese, and four cheese pasta's and no baby back ribs or rib eye. I ended up ordering the Oriental Chicken salad with grilled chicken and it came with no dressing. The waitress had absolutely no personality and a unwelcoming approach. It looked as though underneath our table hadn't been cleaned out throughout the day with piles of food debris, dirty napkins and torn kids menus. My husband used the restroom which smelled strong of urine and had an overflowing urinal that people were tracking a mess out into the dining room. I was highly disappointed for the amount we paid towards a meal and weren't satisfied with and a loss of appetite eating in a dirty feeling restaurant. read more

Worst $80 spent at this place, our food was COLD, tasteless, and just to make it simple gross. Our waitress alexis was nice, but she didn't take care of us. I was watching her go the extra mile to another table, which their food came out sizzling hot and look pretty good which made me order the same thing. I should have complained or said something. I'm very very disappointed in their service and food quality. I won't be coming back. read more
