Wow! We have always loved the Monaca Applebee's, but we love it even more today! Imani was our fabulous waitress who knows exactly what we enjoy. Wonderful manager Sean seated us and Jason and Aldea came over to greet us. Our appetizer was hot and spicy - so good! Skipper loved his macaroni and cheese and yogurt. The steaks were hot and mouth watering! The cooks, although busy, were quite efficient! Even though they were super busy, customers seemed happy as did the courteous and respectful servers and management. Skipper left his Gameboy and Imani contacted us immediately! How grateful we are for all who work at this Applebee's! read more

Zay was a very good server and was entertaining very appreciative. He was very enthusiastic and we enjoyed our time with him.

Applebees always has great menu specials! Love the 2/$25 deals! What a huge Caesar salad they have! Very good too! Lots of everything in it! Imani was our waitress and she went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect! The cheeseburger on the special was very good...it came on a searing hot plate carefully place upon melted cheese....oooey gooey cheese! Only I couldn't get it off the plate so I used a fork to eat it. The fries are always amazing. They have Modela beer. Very good beer! This is a great local restaurant to have. Perfect date nite place, a get together with family or friends too! Highly recommended. read more

Worst Applebee's ever. Ordered a drink and food at the bar to go, but had the pretzels appetizer. Drink and appetizer were cool, but the quesadilla burger (no pink) and fries (which I've ordered plenty of times in Virginia and the Chippewa Applebee's with no issues) were HORRIBLE! Fries were all room temp and lightly seasoned. And the burger was dry as a bone and burnt beyond recognition! It was all tough and unloveable, fam. I should have known better after the group of seated staff members jumped up and scattered as one employee screamed, "KILL IT!" On everything this is a true story, bro. I lie to you not. My heart was broken because my go-to meal on the run was ruined! I'm scarred a little bit in real life. That one hurt. read more

Wife and I went to Applebees in Monaca,PA. We had chicken parm and chicken alfredo, 3 beers.... $70... charged us $9.55 for small glasses of draft beers... food was 7 out of 10. But the waitress was awesome.... read more

If I could give them a 0 I would. It's not the fact we were the first ones in the restaurant and had to wait almost an hour for our food because the waitress put wrong order in, it was the condescending manager and his fucking attitude when we complained, he should look for another job, because after working in the food business for 30 yrs. ,yes the customer should be taken seriously, and yes the First words out of his mouth should have been im taking half off your check, not She apologized....yeah after we asked for a manager..... horrible place, take your money somewhere out of Beaver County....never again..... read more

it was absolutely terribl,I had order a burger and fries with wings as my appetizer and they messed up all of my items 3 times in a row so I had to keep waiting for about an hour and a few minutes for my food I kept finding hair read more

Waited for a table several moments. Waitress looked at us and said she'd be right us than she waited on other people, my buddy had to ask at the bar if we could be seated. This other server very gracious came and seated us. The server who was going seat us was our server, comes to the table says be right with you and waits on other tables. Was not too pleased with the server read more

Raw steak. Ignored by management. Doesn't fulfill promised coupons. Makes you feel like a criminal for asking about a messed up order. Benches are hard. Weird smells. Staff is nice, just underpaid and overworked. read more

On 09-25 I can in to get food with my family The waitress was super sweet but everything was a mess had to wait 1/2 for drinks then 1 1/2 for the food everything was cold you could here people yelling in the kitchen..it just was an overall terrible experience read more

Food wasn't cooked all the way , server couldn't figure out checks , we were here for 2 hours and still haven't got our food

Not a bad dining experience. Service was warm and efficient. Food was edible and quality to price was reasonable. Plenty of TVs for sports. Kids menu. Plenty of parking. Decent choice if in area. read more

Service is great & servers are friendly. Assistant Managers stink as they never acknowledge anyone, even regulars. Meanwhile, the restaurant is top-heavy with district management walking around looking busy. Wonder why Chili's is kicking their butt. read more

Steaks were tough, burger overdone, and my credit card was charged twice...once in the amount of the tip and once for the cost of the meal that also included the tip. That looks like a double dip to me. Watch your card statements if you go. read more

We had a ton of food and the bill was under $40:bucks. The $1 margaritas were strong also. Service was great also.

Never was able to order any food. I guess I didn't exist to the bartender. I sat down and then her friend came in. She stopped even getting my drink and started getting him what he wanted. Then when she finally brought my unsweetened ice tea over, about 15 minutes after i asked for it. She then asked me if I was ready to order I started giving my order and she just stopped listening and went back to talk to her friend. I left the menu and the tea and walked out . The food is not the best in the area but wanted something different. Learned my lesson. Will never go back and if this is the way they treat customers hopefully they won't last much longer. read more

I ordered at 12:16pm for curbside Togo. My order was supposed to be done at 12:32pm. I waited until 1:16pm before I finally called. MY ORDER WAS DONE 45 minutes prior. The girl working the Togo station and I quote, "thought I was parked in a handicap space" and didn't think to check?!?! All I got was a $10 off my next purchase. Which I won't need because I'm not going back. I still have to buy food to use the coupon so it's just scamming people into buying more food even though it was the restaurants mistake! read more

Tons of great options but service was a little slow for my family. We stopped in at prime lunch hour on Black Friday so I guess that wasn't the smartest idea but we needed sustenance before our movie. I got the French onion soup and fajitas. The soup took about 35 mins and our meals about 55... but all was pretty delicious. My soup had a thick, scrumptious, cheesy layer and lots of onions which was great! The fajitas came out sizzling with all the right fresh fixings (guacamole, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes). I had opted for the trio and the steak, chicken and shrimp were all cooked perfectly! I had some fries from my sisters plate and damn, those were delicious - perfectly crispy and warm (a must order side dish!). We would have been much happier had it just come out in less time. read more

Applebee's is our go-to place, it's always dependable and you know the menu inside and out.... So why a review about a regular place? Our server, Allison, was a young girl who worked her tail off. She was polite, well dressed and so helpful because one person at our table is very picky. She was so patient and took down all the specifics and it came out exactly what they asked for. Details matter.. A server like her is what makes an everyday ..go-to place special. She came back several times, our glasses were refilled, we all got our food at the same time. As a family, this is very important, we want to all eat at the same time. Thank you Allison, you made our family dinner special!! I hope we see you the next time we are at Applebee's. read more

My mom, niece and I ate here tonight. I've eaten here a few times in the past recently. We had a waitress named Tenia who fantastic. read more

Refused to turn the volume on the TV for sporting events. The bar had - get this - 2 people in it and they still refused to let us each out game. read more

I will start by saying this is not my first visit here. We've been here probably 10 or so times. Every visit is "ok". We had one visit that was pretty bad, new server, he was struggling bad... we were patient. But it was pretty bad. With no real apology by anyone but the new server. We keep going back because the food is good for the price and there's not many options in the area. Well, today I stopped in by myself to grab a quick lunch that wasn't fast food. Waited a good 7 or 8 minutes before I was even greeted, and then another 2-3 minutes before someone came and sat me. Was asked if I was OK with using the QR code menu, which I am. I don't like it, but whatever I get the reasoning for restaurants using it. What I don't like about it is that you're forced to stare at your phone to look at what you want, so your server never comes back because they can't tell if you're actually done looking at the menu or just playing on your phone. People have a tendency of just playing on their phone while they are sitting in a restaurant, especially by themselves. I purposely put my phone down and looked up for my server, as to not prolong the process. Another good five or 10 minutes later still nobody coming to take my order. This is a good 20 minutes of being in a restaurant with no food ordered. If this was any indication on how long my food would take, I don't have time for that. It's lunch. I got up and walked out. There was maybe 10 tables in the entire restaurant. No reason for the service to be this bad/slow. read more

Ok so we just got done school shopping when we decided we were in the mood for some burgers and salad when we came in was BUSY but we got seated almost immediately, next to a screaming baby... And THEN they seated another screaming baby right next to us lucky about 30 minutes into our HOUR AND 20 MINUTE WAIT the first baby left so about haha 80 minutes later our food came out I ordered the quesadilla burger and my father ordered a Southwest chicken bowl so we're sitting and so I eat the first burger it was... Good. But the second one was horrifically under cooked. We got our shit payed and left unsatisfied. read more

We ordered fries, paid $9 and it was literally six fries with some half ass cheese on it. Don't recommend. Don't waste money. Drinks were not good either. read more

Ordered takeout and everything was fine. Fiesta lime chicken and the chicken tacos are always delicious

The Monaca Applebee's has a great staff. The manager and assistant managers genuinely care about their clientele. Waitresses and waiters make sure that every customer gets exactly what he or she ordered. For example, Imani is a compassionate and dedicated waitress who treats everyone with respect. The cooks make sure that each dish is tasty and at the right temperature. We are very grateful for this Applebee's. Stop in and try their specials! read more

Sometimes you just can't help ending up at an Applebee's... and when you're in Monaca, PA, thats exactly what happens. Lunchtime sit down options aren't that plentiful and I'm not a big pan of Eat'n Park. Anyway, went here with hubby and my MIL and sat down to lunch. Service was very prompt and efficient. We ordered a few things from salad to pasta dishes and they were all decent. Is this gourmet? Certainly not, but its decent food and good service. Sometimes, you can't really ask for too much more beyond that. read more

Food was dry brought out wrong appetizer and just dumped it off the plate and put the right one on the same plate chicken was dry and tasteless bad exspence all the way around read more

My family frequents this restaurant. We were actually just there tonight. We are always happy with our experience. If there is an issue, which lets face it, every restaurant will have mistakes. They are always sure to make up for it. The wait staff are kind and attentive, the bathrooms are always clean and stocked, and the food is always delicious. I enjoy order the build your own appetizers pick 3. Since I am vegitarian, this is a tasty choice for me. My husband and daughter prefer steak most visits and they are always pleased. The mashed potatoes are so delicious, I usually end up eating half of my husbands. I would recommend Apple Bees in Monaca as a great choice for a family dinner spot. read more

Well, I wish I could give them a good review because i do like their food. One star is for lack of communication. Part of the fault is on DoorDash also. I ordered through their website because it said delivery was available, it does not state that it is through DoorDash. An hour goes by so I decide to call the restaurant, I get put on hold and no one ever comes back. After 10 minutes I hung up and called again. Finally someone answers and tells me my food was cooked and was just sitting there getting cold because DoorDash was down at the moment, to which I asked why they didn't think to contact me to see if I still wanted the food. Of course there was not a straight answer so I asked to cancel my order. She told me I had to go through the website to cancel. I go back to the website and there is no where to cancel an order. I'm getting frustrated now. I call back and talk to the manager, flustered and unsure how to refund me, he states he will take care of it. An hour later, after the first initial hour, DoorDash texts me and tells me they are on their way to get my food. My food was expected to arrive at 7:30, the text did not come in until 8:30. I'm glad I canceled! My 2 hour cold food would have been a disappointment, but mostly I can't believe they'd send food out like that. Had I not canceled I don't doubt one bit they would have sent what they had already made. read more

I keep coming back. I do not like the new way to order over the phone for curb side but I'm glad you can still call the restaurant and speak to them directly. Curbside to go is always so easy when I'm on the go. The staff here are always very friendly and accurate with the orders we have placed. read more

I'm still stuck with those Christmas gift cards Dad bought me, which means I am also stuck in a chain restaurant rut, which means I've been forced to make poor dining decisions of late. Bob Evans closes at 9pm. So, to Applebee's it was since we were both starving and were beginning to turn into werewolves (full moon last night!). I didn't have a gift card for Applebee's. Ugh. Hey, we were boxed in here, y'know? We decided to partake in that 2 For $20 deal they advertise, but our waitress (and a good one she is) Nicole G. told us about the Clam Chowder, so we each got that first. Meh. The clams were rubbery, the broth was too thick, and the whole affair tasted suspiciously canned as the laughter you hear during any CBS sitcom these days. But we were hunnngrayyy... If you watch the annoying commercials, you know the deal; 1 App, 2 entrees, 20 bucks. We got the obligatory, cheesy Spinach & Artichoke dip, and it isn't cheesy in a good way or even a keytar way. The artichoke tasted like broccoli. Someone must think we're dumb. Ugh, this had to have been reheated. The accompanying chips and salsa were decent, however. For some reason this was better at the one in Beaver Falls. For the entree, I chose the Provolone Stuffed Meatballs with Fettuccine since it looked and sounded intriguing. Yet, it tasted like watching Lawrence Welk reruns; bland. There was this big hollowed out portion of each meatball that only told me that some machine is making the meatballs, injecting them with (I can only hope) provolone, and then sticking them in a cryogenic chamber until service. This is why tech frightens me a smidgeon. What's next, android chefs that don't need to eat, sleep, make bowel movements, or pay rent? I bet if I had dropped one of the meatballs on the floor, it would have bounced! The pasta? Passable. I loved the strawberry lemonade (even though it tasted a bit like Kool-Aid) and Kay's chocolate mousse shooter. As I alluded to earlier, the service was fine as well. But I dunno man, if "there's no place like the neighborhood" then that neighborhood is goin' down the commode. Hell, there's already guys sitting the street corners with bottles of booze in their hands. People are movin' out. *gasp* I gotta use up these gift cards. I still have 3 left. They are the albatross around my wallet. P.S. I had an Applebee's experience that was twice as good at the one in Beaver Falls. read more

I've eaten here a lot, every time with an empty stomach, and every time hoping and praying that my meal will be better than last time. It never is. The menu is very appetizing (speaking of appetizers, the boneless wings are great), but the entrees themselves are tasteless. Aside from the appetizers, the menu is pretty much devoid of flavor. I have 0 complaints about the service, we never wait to get drinks, orders taken, refills, food, anything. They're friendly and punctual. Applebee's bills itself as the neighborhood bar and grill, but I'd expect a few more events at my neighborhood bar. Maybe I'm just not visiting at the right times... I like the atmosphere, the music is good, there are plenty of TV's for Steelers/Pirates/Pens games, and there are posters, t-shirts, and other memorabilia from every college and a few high schools in the area. That's a nice touch, but it doesn't make the food any more tasty. read more

I ordered a meal from their lite portion menu. I believe they are trying to compete with Chili's under 600 calorie selection. I ordered a steak and vegetable. I guess I should have expected it - I am not sure why I believe Applebee's is the Ponderosa / Sizzler of the Steak Chains. The service was great while my meal was bland. I think I would have been better off to do a 3rd day in a row at Subway. Food - Bland - not really worth it with so many selections Service - Great - My waitress was really friendly and I would go back because they were a lot of fun Price - $10 Overalll - I will probably go somewhere else and try to recruit my waitress :-) read more

One visit at this time. Place is clean, maintained, and adequately staffed. Greeted and served quickly. Basic "Applebee" food which is to say hearty portions. Coffee was unending and routinely refreshed (which is nice). Pie desserts are excellent -- one might start with a pie dessert and see how one's appetite goes. Although most places are merely "fast food" (meaning prepared elsewhere and simply warmed and served), Applebee's has created the notion of home cooking -- lots of people appreciate this. f8 and be there. read more

We waited over an hour for our food while everyone around us (who came in way after us) were getting their orders. No manager checked on us until after we got our food and they didn't even tell us they were busy or things were backed up. The food was good when we got it but definitely won't be eating there again. read more

Not worth the price anymore. Went for the unlimited shrimp only to be told that"they don't have it anymore". Watching a basketball game and they changed all of the TV's to hockey! Asked them to put the basketball back on and they put something else on (not basketball) I'm sorry but $50+ for three people for basically bar food is too expensive. It's overpriced and the food just isn't worth it. read more
