Food, service and ambiance, all of the above, 5-stars. Our server Indira was about the best server we have ever had. She was pleasant, friendly and just an all around good person. As for the food, I got the fish and chips and added the side fried shrimp. Good combo. You know what they say about coleslaw, hit and miss. Applebees has the best coleslaw. We had our grandchildren with us who also enjoyed their dinner. Good times. Thank you Indira, our best to you. read more

I had a gift card to use up so we visited on a Friday night around 7 pm. Not very busy. We were seated in the bar area. The hostess was so nice, very friendly and welcoming. Happy hour had already ended but I still got a watermelon margarita and it was great! Our server/bartender was awesome. Excellent service. The manager was on the floor the whole time helping with bringing out food and drinks. Most of the food tastes like reheated frozen meals. The onion rings tho - delish!! read more

I wish I could give 100 stars! From the moment we walked in the door, it was top notch service! The manager, Anna, saw we had a friend who is blind and opened the front door for us and gave us a very friendly greeting. Her vibrant personality set the tone for our entire visit. She was also well versed in serving someone with a vision impairment. She was very attentive. Then we met our server, Kinna, she was also wonderful and a very attentive server. Our meal was delicious! I had the oriental salad and it was fresh and the dressing is now my new favorite dressing! Thank you for everything! read more

We were a party of 6. They sat us at a table for 4. That was the start. I ordered the lime-cheese-chicken with no beans and rice. I asked can I get a salad with that instead of the beans & rice. She said sure - but that was a $2 up charge that she didn't bother to disclose until I saw it in the bill. So chicken breast smothered in cheese and some sauce and a small salad was $18+! I will never order that again. It was gross. Salad was swimming in Cesar dressing too. Pretty sure I won't be back there. read more

Our food was delicious and service was outstanding. Thank you amber and Christine (i think?)! The tall hostess was also great. We will be returning. read more

Food was such poor quality. It was like left over gas station food. Soggy and gross tasting. Very disappointing.

Several Applebee's have been closing down and I'm so glad that this one hasn't closed down. I ordered the 12 oz ribeye w garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. I used the online ordering thing and pulled up to a spot and a guy came out to let me know it would be a couple more minutes. Service was fast and friendly. The steak was really yummy and cooked to my liking. It was also tender and juicy. I would definitely order from here again. I really like that you pull up to a number and they bring it out to you. Highly recommend!! read more

Outstanding customer service! However I would recommend they get a new chef because the food was not as tasteful. The baked bread was really good, the salad was too salty and the well done steak that we did not order was overcooked and the drinks were the usual Applebees drinks. The manager was really accommodating, this would be an awesome location if the food was better. read more

We had the best experience at Applebees for our son's 11th birthday! Our server, Marine Veteran Michael, was kind, attentive and accurate with our orders. The manager Jesus delivered our food and went above and beyond to recognize my son's birthday. He stopped by the table multiple times and ensured we were taken care of. We will definitely be back for Michael and Jesus! read more

I always get the two for 25 but I get the steak. This time we tried the new burger toast, no flavor at all. I'm so I guess if you don't have taste as good but if you have good taste buds, it's not they need to add flavor to it Besides the dip. read more

As usual, the food here at Applebee's is wonderful, but what takes it to the next level is from top down, management to serve servers. Jesus makes a fantastic manager because he's such a people person. Jessica has such a beautiful smile and such a beautiful personality. Makes it a pleasure to go out and eat. read more

Customer service is great and food is great. Best Applebees in the whole county I'd say. The manager who's name is concha I believe, runs this restaurant really well with her other managers. Everyone is on top of their game here. read more

The appetizers were very good, but i wasn't a fan of my pasta, and the server would not switch it out for me or take it off my bill because"i didn't tell her early enough". She was not around for me to ask earlier and when i did ask she seemed irritated. read more

Fast friendly and hot food! Burgers are good but Fish&Chips are worth it!! Plus, they have Malt&Vinegar ! read more

On my last visit to the Applebees on Madison Ave. in Murrieta,CA. Our server Alexandra was so polite and welcoming. Our order was hot and complete. The food was so delicious. Alexandria was always checking on us , to see how we were doing and if we're okay. The restaurant was very comfortable and so clean. Thank You Alexandria for the great service we received . read more

Usually always have a great meal from here, except tonight. Found paper in hamburger. Looked like paper used to separate cheese slices. Will order from here again, really enjoy the food, just a brain fart from someone tonight. read more

Nice inside. Best service by far than we've had in a long time! They make you feel very welcomed, appreciated and tended to here! And very reasonable prices with good potions of food. Our beers nice and cold and mom-in-law liked her big pina colada. I got the chicken torilla soup and there was literally barely enough soup to cover the bottom of the bowl with more chips on top than soup . Asked the mananger over before eating any and she was so nice and agreed. She promtly brought a full bowl of soup, apologizng. It was really good and will have it again. I tried the Quesadilla Burger and upgraded to onion rings. It was good, but will try something else next time. Really good onion rings and would get them again. My wife and mom-in-law got the 2 for special - 2 salads (ceasar or house) or 1 appetizer & 2 entrees. They both got the salad that was really big. Mom liked the ceaser and my wife the house, but recommends getting a different dressing than ranch. It really had no flavor and very runny. Mom liked her riblet and fries platter. My wife liked her mac & cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders. We all had food to take home. read more

Terrible food, it's that food that hits (Only when your drunk) sticky tables, desperate waiters/waitresses. Apple bees has got to go!

What a great experience our server Adrian was fantastic The food arrived in less than ten minutes and was fresh and hot and the drinks were delicious Thanks to the team at Applebees read more

My boyfriend and I came in before that happy hour rush, sat at the bar and just wanted a couple of drinks since I was studying for finals. I ordered an angry orchard, they were out so she said "I'll grab you a water". Again there was no rush. There was one other person seated at the bar and it looked like an employee who just got off. Never got her name but she's the older lady with cheap tattoos on her. Socializing with the other servers. Seated in the bar area was maybe 3 other tables that looked like they were finishing up their food. She came back with our waters and I ordered a shot of casamigos, didn't have it so she named off 3 and I ordered the third one. Chilled. And a side salad without croutons. My bf ordered a vodka soda. Salad never came out. She never checked up on us. We asked for the check when she finally walked by and she had an attitude while giving us our check. Left her cash and left. We usually never have any problems when coming here since we're in and we're out but goddamn. We were there for less than 30 minutes and the place was empty. Now we know why. Bitchy bartender with some shitty service. No thanks. read more

Attentive service, quickly acknowledged when entering restaurant. Food is comfy, homemade style. Something that makes one feel lime they're at mom's house. Servings are very generous, and modest prices. Self-serve payment system at table, so for those concerned about security, your card never leaves your sight. Now the food...started with beef nachos. Pretty darn good for a fast-casual restaurant. Well seasoned beef, fair amount of toppings, and enough for four to share as an appetizer. For a meal, try the shrimp if that's your thing. Crunchy goodness! Mac and cheese and fries are great as sides (although mashed and veggies are a great choice as well). Stop by, say hi and enjoy a good old fashioned meal. read more

This oriental chicken salad is so good. You have to try it out, The taste is rich the bread is in credible, maybe because I haven't had it in a while but today it was really good. read more

Great fast friendly service, my wife is recovering from surgery and both the server and manager came over and talked with my wife and put a smile on her face. Food was great. I would very much like to thank both the manager and our server for making my wife's day. Whish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank You very much! read more

Went to eat there with my father. When we showed up, there was nobody at the front greeting desk thing where they guide you to the table. When they finnaly came, they said they would get us a booth near the window separating the bar, and spent 5 minutes preparing it, only to sit us down at a different booth. So that was a waste of time. We sit down and are asked for our drinks, and we get them pretty quick. We ordered and ate our food, and when we asked for refills, our waiter said they would get them. So we waited 10 mins until another waitress came up and asked if we needed refills, so we told her yes because the other guy didn't even get them. We then waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to get out drinks, only for our original waiter to come up and, get this, ask if we wanted refills.. like, we asked 10 mins ago. So he heads over to get our drinks after those first 20 minutes or so, and then right before he came back with the drinks, the waitress that asked the second time, came back. We told her about the refills, and then our waiter came back, after we already asked the waitress! Our waiters attitude was really bad. He just constantly acted nonchalant like we hadn't waited 20 mins for our drinks. Good food but bad customer service. read more

I love their buffalo wings. The area is kinda off and a bit dirty and the same old staff as usual, but the food is worth it. I recommend it if you are craving buffalo wings. read more

Great drinks and prices during late happy hour, 9pm to close. Good food during same time. Good friendly service also.

First time here since before covid. A burger and chicken nuggets for da man and the wonton tacos for me. I'd had them at another Applebees last year and they were delicious. These weren't. They were a bit soggy and didn't taste the same, too sweet for me. Burger was ordered medium but overcooked, no pink inside the patty. French fries were tasteless and barely warm. Our waitress was great, but we probably won't be back. Minus 3 rating. read more

My family and I visited a few weeks ago. We were helped by Alex and her manager ( I forgot her name) :( during lunch hour. They were the absolute best! They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. And they were patient with us. Definitely will be coming back, and not to mention the prices are great !:) read more

We just had the most awful service ever here .. don't know our server's name but he was working 2/20 around 7pm. He not only would not check on us for if we liked our meal, but he seemed preoccupied with other things. On top of that we had someone disabled fall over and not one person here walked over to check on that. We were able to get her up with no thanks to Applebee's. Worst customer service ever and we still paid $50 for mediocre food and awful service. Can't believe we even decided to come here. I'm not one to make dramatic posts ever about restaurants but this sent me over the edge. Hope everyone picks somewhere else before coming to this place. read more

My high student's school has an annual tradition of going to Applebees after a school event. One of the moms put in a reservation, advising there would be a large group of students attending dinner (around 60-70 high schoolers) so they could adequately staff the restaurant. There were only 3 servers working Saturday night. One student's order took 2 hours to get to the table. Some of the group never got their food or drinks. The servers were rude and also recruited one of the student to help take food and drink orders. A server even yelled at a table of students when asked why they never received their food, saying it was their fault that they didn't get their order. Really disappointed with the level of care taken with their special celebratory dinner. read more

Terrible food even worse service, save your money and go to. Another restaurant ! Worst service ever!!

The service is always good however today the service was great, Alana was our server and she was on top of her game and she left no one hanging at all eight of her tables. I don't know how she did it but I know I will always ask for her. She is TOP drawer! read more

We decided to go here out of no where. The service was terrible. We waited to place our order but grew impatient I put the order in myself, in the table kiosk. When the server finally came we told her we put the order in and was doing the 2 for 26. She said no problem and everything looked right. We order two appetizers 1 pretzel and 1 spinach dip that came with the 2 for 26. She brings the pretzel out and says she will grab the spinach dip. Never does and then our food came out. We asked the food runner about the spinach dip and she apologized and said they would discount the check. Once we get the check, I find that they didn't apply the 2 for 26. Should had been an $11 discount. I know it's not much but with inflation and the way things are everything counts. Anyway, they gave a 10% discount which was $6.93. I ended up paying more for the meal and no discount on the spinach dip. read more

A real consistent Applebees location. Always great service, never have had any orders wrong at this location The food quality is always right Loved their $12.99 endless boneless wings and fries deal. Shame they got rid of it read more

There aren't enough words to express my DISGUST in my experience with this restaurant tonight. My husband brought home dinner which included a salad. I opened the lid to pour ranch dressing on the salad, returned the lid and gave the salad a shake. I opened it to take one bite, look down to take another and there was a ******* SPIDER IN MY SALAD!!!! I will never in my lifetime eat here again, and you shouldn't either!! Adding 1 star because I couldn't post the review without adding any. read more
