The food was amazing and so was the service. Even the manager came to greet us and ask how the food was (if the manager is reading this it was 10/10). I've never seen any other restaurant or place that had the manager greet us. I would recommend going if you ever stop by and the fries deserve their own review. read more

The staff is very nice. Shrimp is very super fire. Burger 72/100 and fire good. Oreo shake is 10000000/10000000.

Ask for Melody!! She is such a gem! We stopped in for a quick, casual bite to eat while we were in the area. Melody greeted us and checked on us throughout our meal. Super friendly and personable. Whenever there's a rum bucket drink on the menu, I'm sold. The loaded waffle fries were great, I'd definitely get them again. The chicken tender salad was pretty good with the mexi-ranch dressing, but could've used more chicken in my opinion. My husband completed the Asian chili sauce for his ribs. Applebees has something on the menu for everyone. read more

The food is predictably good but isn't the healthiest. I looked up the salt content and most of food is high in sodium. However it's delicious. I've tried most items on the menu, and my favorites are their burgers and waffle fries. The grilled chicken or chicken tenders are delicious too. The service is prompt but the restaurant gets busy. The ambiance can get loud, but they have a lot of TVs to watch sports and play decent music. read more

If I could rate a 0 I would. While the food here is quite good as well as the service (even though most of them don't often visit their tables based on the age; if you're a teenage group don't bother coming), no immense complaints there, the managerial staff are incompetent and refuse to listen to customer's complaints about their credit card system, specifically rude toward younger groups. Due to this I absolutely do not recommend coming there are many other good restaurants in the area. read more

We went at lunchtime and there was only one waitress who had to do everything. She did well based on how many people she was responsible for. We ordered the appetizer platter to share and it was not great. The other food was Standard Applebees quality- just OK. The chicken on the salad was ok, but the lettuce was terrible. It was decorated like pretty much every other Applebee's. The one saving grace was that the noise level was low enough to have conversations. Also there was plenty of parking. read more

Been there several times always the food is excellent. Love their Fish and Chips. The fish is always fresh and the drinks are excellent. And always have excellence service.Sage is our waitress and she's always amazing. read more

Wish I could rate 0 stars! First off, do NOT come here if you are a group of younger people, Applebees believes younger groups will not tip, so the service they give you is even worse. I have been here multiple times and this is how they always treat my group. The managers at this location were both extremely rude and incompetent when we needed help. They treated us so poorly and ended up yelling at us and slamming down a coupon on the table that they ended up ripping up and stealing from us later on. The food here is bar food, meaning it's poor to begin with, but the service here did NOT need to be worse than the food was. The server barely helped us at all and wasn't even around us. We had to grab our own boxes and asked another server for help. On top of that, it was not apparent to guests that you need to tell the servers about any coupons before you even sit. This made our bill $10 more than it was supposed to be and this restaurant had taken off money in the past from a coupon after already paying some money, which made this entire situation even more stupid. Our group received a $10 discount as a compensation package for the issue and we ended up losing it by the disgusting acting general manager at this location. This location needs to be studied as to how they make older rude men (who don't know how to work the system by the way) the managers. Applebees, hire actual real people instead of nursing home inhabitants, I beg. read more

The food was horrible. Look at the picture I posted, no more words needed! Worst location I've ever been to and there was nonexistent service. Sad... read more

I'll start with the negative. I ordered a bacon hamburger with onion, and pickles. Side of fries and I got the mocktail on the beach. With utensils. The hamburger came with no bacon, and the patty was squished ridiculously thin. I like it pressed, but this was out past the bun. No utensils in the bag. Staff is not energetic. I asked if a straw was in the bag at pick up. She wasn't sure, but I'm glad I asked for one because not only was there no straw in the bag there were no utensils. The only positive was the mocktail. Very impressed with that. Maybe made by the bartender and that's why? Anyway, I don't know if it's because it's a Saturday night but I wish I would have picked another spot for take out. read more

What an absolutely disappointing meal I just finished. I picked up a to go order and got home ready to eat. Opened up my "garlic parmesan" boneless wings (pictured) and they were not tossed in any kind of sauce. Just dry, bland chicken nuggets with a tiny tiny amount of sauce sunk to the bottom. Nothing coated the wings whatsoever. My wife and I had the chicken broccoli alfredo which was also one of the most bland, watered down dishes possible. The sauce was so watery that it wouldn't stick to the pasta at all. I had to load it up with some pepper to get it down and threw half of it out. I remember why I don't eat at places like this anymore... I get the pasta may be bland it's not exactly an italian restaurant but the fact those wings left the kitchen like that is embarrassing. read more

I came here for half-apps at 10PM, and it was a good experience. The food and drinks were good (consistent with food I've had at other locations), and our server, Nick, was attentive and friendly. The space was clean and relatively quiet, perfect for a casual night out with friends. read more

Nice place Very clean and the service was attentive o got my moneys worth shrimp was good appetizer sampler was well prepared as well

Good wings and food, average service with nice servers, good atmosphere of a sports bar and good hospitality with welcoming people

I went with a large part and at first they didn't want to serve us. The waitress was great serving everyone and keeping up. Even made sure everyone had an individual check. Food however was not great. The cheese for the pretzels was so watery, and had no flavor. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Pretzels and loaded waffle fries - American Near Me - Middletown, New Jersey

This branch is located on the end of a large strip mall in the heart of Middletown on northbound Rte #35. We were greeted by Melody, barkeep here for quite a while. Walt and I ordered two brews and a burger. Both the food and the conversation were excellent. Ample parking and a lot of dining area. Go here if you just don't want to spend mucho dinero and get a plain decent meal. Oh, remember they still have two for $20 menu so check their weekly specials. read more

Corrine, behind the bar, is a home run!! She is an amazing talent with great hospitality.

I enjoy going to Applebee's but the one thing I do not like it's on the managers are walking around with constantly yelling at the server's I find that extremely annoying. Then when they come to serve your food, the workers are very frustrated. I do not go there for business any longer. I find an establishment that be rates their workers it's not a place where I want to spend my money. read more

Chicken... rubber. Pasta... overcooked. Breadstick... mid. This place has gone down the gutter lately. I remember coming here as a kid and it was a completely different vibe. read more

Was seated right away but waited 20 minutes and still no one came to us to even ask what we wanted to drink and the staff was walking around with spray bottles just milling around at the 30 minute mark just got up and went out the door The person at the front asked why we were leaving My wife told her of the excessive wait If this was the wait for service I can imagine the wait for the food if we would have ordered something. And you are getting one star due to this app won't let me post unless I give you even that much read more

Father's Day 2023 - restaurant is not crowded. No hostess. So we wait. Waitress takes our order and we wait. Our order doesn't come and we wait. I note it is 7:03. At 7:11, the couple next to us, who were seated after us receive their meal. The waitress, Mona, says she doesn't know what happened to our order. When we state the other couple was seated after us, Mona says she cant control the kitchen. Still we wait. A table of 4-5 again seated after us receives their food. And we wait. Finally we receive our food about 7:30. No sorry from the waitress, who again said she can't control the kitchen, no manager, no effort to adjust the check. COVID as an excuse is over people! I'm tired of the increased prices expected to pay for the poor service, incorrect orders and cold food. You're only responsible yourself for the loss of my, and hopefully others business. read more

After going to a middle school graduation we decided to go to Applebee's. It sounded like a good idea at the time. They have a special 2 for $20 dollar menu which included one appetizer + two entrees. We ordered the mozzarella sticks which were really good plus the spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips and it was delicious!! The burgers looked amazing and boy did I regret my dinner choice. I had to get fancy and order the Bourbon street chicken and shrimp for my entrée. It was saltier than the dead sea. It was really ridiculously salty. Three other people I was with had the same thing and they thought the exact same thing. We couldn't drink enough water afterwards to reduce the bloating. Another person I was with ordered the chicken basket tenders and that was good. In the future if I decide to go there again I will stick to the appetizers and the burgers. read more

We ate there a couple of days ago and Rich was our server! He was great and super attentive to us and whatever we needed!

Great service, very fast and friendly workers! They were accommodating with food allergies! Jordi was great!

Got my order wrong. If people in the kitchen aren't going to pay attention why bother coming to work? Ordered on the app and triple checked to make sure everything was how I wanted. Asked for no pink in burger. Lettuce wrap instead of bun. Regular $4.49 Tomato soup. Garlic green beans. Burger was overdone. Bun when I specifically asked for none. Burger was overcooked and burnt in some areas. And it was flat. Like a pancake flat. I have never had a burger from anywhere that looks like that. Instead of the regular size soup I ordered, they gave me the side soup, which was very small and $2.00 less than what I paid. The only thing they got right was the beans. They get two stars because of the politeness of the server when I picked up my order. The problem was the people who prepared the food. If you are gonna half ass it than don't even bother coming in. I would rather travel almost 30 minutes out the way to the Applebee's where we used to live, than EVER eat here again. By the way, this was my first visit. read more

Horrible customer service. We asked at the front table that we were 16 and they gave us an attitude. They gave us tables across from the restaurant while tables were empty. The waitress became frustrated and we were 2 min in the restaurant the manager did not solve the issue made it worse read more

Brownie and ice cream portions became smaller over the years. where is my phat brownie.

When considering ambiance I cant help but think of my lovely server Jaydaha who was so incredibly polite which was amazing because I ordered from my car and didnt even have to step inside to love the atmosphere! Bravo! what I ordered you ask? the cinnamon twists and they were incredible!! read more

Brownies and ice cream portions became smaller over the years. where is my phat brownie.

I usually always order from here and im not the type to write a bad review but this is just messed up i was charged for my to go order and i chose not to tip because i walked in and got the food rather then them running it out. Anyway i check my pnc accounts the next day and the to go guy wrote down a 5$ tip for himself and charged my card just a scummy move. read more

had my dinner there last week. food excellent and our service Melody was very friendly and knowledgeable will definitely come back again read more

Here is my ultimate comment - ADD MORE VEGETARIAN DISHES!!!!! The majority of dishes, like many other chains, includes chicken or bacon. There are many of us who don't eat these animals, but I do crave the wonderful, friendly atmosphere A's is famous for. I like the beer selection, I like the courteous staff. But come on! Give me a break on the meat dishes!!! And I don't mean carrots and zuccini. There are many many options nowadays (cheap, too) like pasta and cheese. I hope someone takes note of this, but this is why I can't give it more stars********* read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - great atmoaphere. nice and laid back. - American Near Me - Middletown, New Jersey

First time ever ordering burgers for delivery from anywhere! Was pleasantly surprised! Burgers were Tender tasty and juicy! Alright!

Can't complain. Food was great, nothing missing, salad leafs were a little old but eatable.

Ordered 3 meals they forgot the cheese on my buddies burger so it was like a plain hockey puck the sodas didn't have enough syrup in them so they tasted like carbonated water and our entire meal was ruined My buddy is in tears literal tears about his cheese on his burger and now our vibe is ruined terrible job read more

This location is OK. Staff can be friendly or can be cold; depends on the time. If you're working off the 2 for 24 menu, make sure you announce it before hand because 1) they know it when they're taking your order and 2) if you notice it when you get the bill, they make it an issue to fix. read more

The hostess sat my friends. we were meeting them there and there was going to be 8 of us. the manager yelled at her and said we weren't allowed to be sat. then one of the girls i was with saw their friend and they were talking and he yelled at them and told them to sit down. i understand with the new guidelines due to corona but there is no need to be rude to customers. our server was really nice. we asked the hostess if she can bring our money to the server and she gave us attitude. then we saw the manager with his mask not over his nose... read more
