Stood in to lobby for a while as different servers walked by. No one said anything. Typical trashy Applebee's.

Horrible service, long wait times. There for over two hours and the wait staff kept talking to other wait staff. We talked to the manager and he argued and made excuses. very rude. will not come back. read more

I've been to this location, many times, usually with a large group. Today was extremely disappointing, to say the least. They were very backed up with a lot of people waiting to be seated around 1pm, though only half of the restaurant was full. We waited about 40 minutes to be seated. The waitress claimed that it was only her second day and made countless mistakes but we were very patient with her. My meal altogether was never put in to the kitchen, and we feel like the kitchen was the sole problem. Everybody's food came out cold, and I was the last one that didn't receive my order, but when it did come out about five minutes later, it was also cold. We were there for about two hours, which is absolutely ridiculous when most of us only ordered a cocktail and an appetizer. The manager had asked us to kindly leave a Google review and asked how everything went, but of we were dishonest in saying it was okay. We were a party of 9 and had called ahead. There were people being served far before us, and they just kept coming in and be gone before we even had anything at our table. I am pretty sure that my meal was mistakenly given to another table, but didn't even order it, and they didn't say anything. The wonton chicken tacos were yummy. read more

Dave was amazing. We had two 10 year old girls with us and both were in a mood. He made the wait worthwhile. His humor and funny personality really got the girls to open up and enjoy themselves. Serving is not easy but he was so attentive and it was greatly appreciated. The food was great! We cannot wait to come back and see our new best friend. read more

Waited 45 minutes for a table, then took 35 minutes for the server to acknowledge that we were breathing, and then she said, "I didn't see you. It's my second day." Wife ordered a margarita... ants crawling on the salt rim. No servers. No silverware. No TP in the ladies bathroom. Daughter got entirely the wrong order and it wasn't worth waiting for accuracy. Asked the host what was wrong with the alleged table tablet for ease & speed of checkout, and he literally said, "I have no idea." You could walk into this place with no shirt, no shoes and even then!! you wouldn't get any service. Save yourselves. Run away and never wait. This place is an absolute dumpster fire. read more

They are amazing, food is wonderful very nice people. They are very nice and fun people to talk to definitely would recommend this place to eat! read more

I went to Applebee's in North Conway for an early dinner on 8/6/2025. I was seated at a table with a broken chair. It was missing a foot. When I complained, the waitress switched it with a chair from another table. She said, "Now it will be someone else's problem." The managers were having a meeting at a table 6 inches away from mine. I could hear every word they said. They were discussing issues in the restaurant. That's not what I wanted to hear while I was eating dinner. I should have been seated somewhere else. There were many empty tables. I had to send my burger back twice because it had the wrong toppings. I have no plans to go back. read more

My family and I spent 2.5 hours in Applebees on Saturday evening, 11/29 Although we understand that this was a busy time, the night was a total disaster After waiting over a half hour for a seat, we put our order in and it was almost a half hour before we received our drinks and close to an hour before some of my family received our food Although we all ordered appetizers and meals, the six of us received one meal and three appetizers after an hour of waiting Two of the meals were never made and needed to be re-ordered 10 minutes after we re-ordered the missing meals the waiter came back to confirm what the additional missing dishes were. The one meal that I received, I sent back as I could not eat in front of my two family members who had nothing Not once was our inconvenience acknowledged, no one apologized for the wait and at the end of the evening, the waiter came back and said that they were going to charge us for one beer, which we never received in the first place I scanned the QR code on the invoice and filled out a survey, and asked for the Applebee's call me to discuss The survey promised a call within 4 days, but after a week no one from Applebees ever bothered to call A simple acknowledgement would have meant a lot Evidentally they saw nothing wrong with this weekend, it must be typical of their service Corporate never followed up, they obviously don't care My advice, go to 99 restaurant a mile up the road They care read more

We were a party of 6 everything was great!! Food was hot and tasty and service was great. I only wish people would not allow their kids to run around a restaurant?? read more

I have years of experience in the customer service industry and don't write negative reviews lightly, but this restaurant has earned one. On two occasions I've visited this location and had numerous issues with both visits. The first time was last year and to their credit the waitress was apologetic and tried to make up for the issues. My family wanted to go there for lunch today so I agreed to give it another try. I regret that decision because this was by far the worst dining experience that I have ever had. I understand that it is Veterans Day and many places get busy so we understood having to wait about 35 minutes to be seated. I also understand that it is difficult to find workers right now. This restaurant didn't have that many tables occupied and they seemed adequately staffed. We had six orders and 4 of them were wrong. When I brought it to our waiter (Adam's) attention he made no effort to apologize or explain what was happening to make it right. We waited for over 30 minutes and Adam brought out new orders for us, but during that wait he never checked on us or updated us. We also didn't have enough silverware or napkins. By the time our food arrived the rest of our group had finished eating. After our food came out 3 of us asked for water and when Adam brought them he set them down very aggressively and acted like we had done something wrong. While we were eating the restaurant had mostly emptied out, yet somehow Adam couldn't be bothered to check in on us to see if the meals were ok or if we needed refills. We did in fact need refills, but never got them, despite asking for more water. Adam never bothered to see if we needed anything else or if we were ready to cash out. I understand that people have bad days, but Adam had a terrible attitude and flat out rude to us. I paid at the table and regrettably still gave him a tip. I had to get up and go to the bar to go get boxes. I understand that mistakes happen and orders get messed up, but 4 out of 6 orders having issues is unacceptable, especially when the customer service was so poor and there was no effort to apologize or make it right. In fact, it was just the opposite. We were ignored and treated as if we inconvenienced the staff. The manager never came out to check on us either, but based on my observations he had time to hang out in the kitchen joking around with staff. Nobody goes to Applebee's expecting Michelin star meals, but to have so many issues with the food and such poor service is enough to warrant a 1-star review and a call to corporate. read more

We are first time visitors to New Hampshire. We've been to Applebee's before in different cities. Since we were staying at the hotel next door we decided to walk over after dinner for a drink. We sat at the bar next to some college guys who we had a friendly exchange with. After they left there were about 4 people at the bar besides ourselves. We sat there for 15 minutes right in front of where the bartender mixes his drinks. Not once did he make eye contact with us nor acknowledge us. He did interact with the other customers at the bar , but blatantly ignored us. We didn't say a word to him but just kept looking at him. Finally I said out loud while he was right in front of us "I don't think we're welcome here". And still he ignored us. So we left without making any scene. I really don't think anyone else but the bartender heard my comment. I left feeling quite offended. Not sure why this behavior is allowed by the management. I DON'T RECOMMEND this place. read more

The service sucks we waited an hour to be seated when they were completely empty AVOID eating at this Applebees at all cost and go to 99 instead. would give 0 stars if I could read more

Looking at other reviews I absolutely cannot believe that this is happening to other people. A few nights ago my friend and I came in for apps and drinks. Mind you she is 25 and I am 23 and both have valid IDs. The server who looked 18 took our IDs to the back for a good 15 minutes. He claimed they "get a lot of fakes" but that is not our problem. Taking our IDs for that long and even in general is so unprofessional and honestly nerve racking. We genuinely were going to call the police to get our IDs back if the server took any longer. I would NOT recommend. Beyond disrespectful. read more

Went here for apps and drinks with my friend and was waiting for 20 mins at the front to be seated. Once our waiter finally came over we ordered our food and drinks and the waiter insisted our IDs were fake, (mind you I'm 25) took them to the back for over 20 mins. Very unprofessional, they could have taken my information, God knows what he did with them. I don't recommend this place. Be careful if you give them your ID. read more

I have not been to Applebee's in several years after a not so great service from a bartender. Tonight, my wife was out of town and it was getting late (too lazy to make something) and so I, with much hesitation, decided to try it again. The food is the food at Applebee's and so you know that going in (not a dig just reality). But the service can make the overall experience that much better or that much worse. Being alone, I sat at the bar and had the best service I've had anywhere in North Conway. Kimmy (sp?) is an awesome bartender. Great personality, wonderful smile and very attentive. She had the bar patrons and those seated at tables in the bar area and she was all alone. Didn't matter that she was alone, as she handled it all with the precision of a traffic cop. She made drinks while surveying her customers around the bar to see if they needed anything. Kimmy was on top of it all while engaging with her regulars but not forgetting the rest of us. If you're looking for a late night bite and Kimmy is on the bar, you are in for great service. What an ambassador for Applebee's. read more

Out of any Applebees I've been to, this is the worst. First off, when we sat down, they didn't offer us any Napkins or Utensils and it took so astronomically long just for them to come and take our drink order. When we could finally order our food, my Dad got Barbecue Ribs and I got a Double Cheeseburger. My Dad said his Ribs look like it came out of McDonald's and My cheeseburger was so incredibly greasy that I feel Nauseous as I write this review. I do not recommend read more

Didn't get food, didn't get drinks. Didn't even get service. Was left standing at the front of house for 20 minutes before. Don't expect service as a vet on Veterans Day. read more

As one of the only restaurants open in North Conway early in the week, this is always our go-to for the first night in town. Before this week, I would have given this Applebee's 3 stars. Reliable but bland food, an okay draft selection. You know what you're getting. This week though, the place was clearly suffering from staffing shortages, the ensuing poor morale in the overworked employees, and (I would guess) a lack of competent management. We walked in to a frazzled host trying to find a way to seat a sizable number of hungry patrons. When it was our turn, we asked if we could sit at the bar. We went to the bar and a frazzled bartender sighed and helped us but was just so frustrated with her night that she couldn't help but give the vibe that we were a burden. Please note, I don't blame her at all. She was only reacting to stress brought on primarily by her bosses. She did her best to inform one fellow bar patron that his appetizer sampler is ready but they're out of wings, she said she just found out from the kitchen a few minutes ago. She apologized profusely, clearly understanding the ridiculousness of her situation. Then, she had to pivot to shouting to fellow employees that something was on fire and they needed to get to the kitchen to help. I ordered two beers and had no issues. For dinner, I thought about how to keep it easy on the kitchen and ordered chicken tenders with fries. They were poor quality to begin with but we're slimy and rubbery. I crunched through a couple of them before realizing I wasn't drunk enough to keep at it. I'm not sure what goes wrong with frying chicken tenders but they're suffering. I hope next year is a better experience. read more

I can't remember our server but I think the manager was Amy. Great service from a chain. Food was fresh and restaurant was clean.

It's a good place to have lunch, dinner or just a drink with a company. The service is pretty good.

First of all I'm sure the food is okay. We didn't come in for the food. Our anniversary and we were looking for a place to have a glass of wine and watch the Red Sox. Brittany was the bartender. To use the word/ title of bartender is insufficient for the description of her. 17 seats at the bar and 4 tables around the bar. All were Brittany's responsibility. To see her ability to be in charge and in control of all of her customers was a beautiful thing to watch. Greeting EVERYONE with pleasant conversation. Taking orders, cashing someone out. Delivering food and beverages and the whole time talking to her customers. A great jog. A great inspiration. read more

We're regulars here with our kids, but this group of j1 students here is just awful. We sat for two and a half hours watching them ignore tables after ignoring us when we first walked in -- I guess our mistake is walking in right behind two of the hostesses friends because she was more worried about talking with them than she was waiting on us. For the entirety of our visit here we watched them clustered by the kitchen exit door near the POS system, hugging and kissing each other, plain clothes friends coming in and out of the kitchen, they were getting them little to go cups of drinks ands still ignoring their tables. Just absolutely horrid service read more

Went to get takeout on March 18th around 9pm. I ordered the boneless Buffalo wings and all of them were completely raw in the middle. I'm quite upset because I completely wasted my time and money and I could've gotten sick have I not noticed and spit it out after I took a bite. Very disappointed to say the least. read more

Went to Applebee's on February 8th 2025 for a dinner date and drinks with my significant other and we sat at the bar and had jimmy as our bartender. We order a few drinks and a classic combo and had to wait 30 minutes just for our food because she was too busy complaining about her life and socializing with everyone around the restaurant and did not check on our food for that 30 minutes. She was also texting the whole time and when we ordered our drinks she half assed the drinks and they were awful. I had a total of 48.27 for my check and decided against giving her a tip because of her terrible service. I got a notification from my bank that despite me not putting a tip she put one down after we left of 10 dollars. I have been in the restaurant industry for 10 years and have never had or seen such terrible service skills in the entirety of my career in the industry. To steal money from your customers because you put no effort into your job is absolutely unacceptable and just plain old wrong. I will never return to this Applebees. I brought it to the managers attention and they did apologize and decided to completely refund me but I really hope this woman is terminated and never returns to the restaurant industry. read more

First of all I thought if you are in one of the famous location like this one in North Conway,NH you're expecting a lot of tourist and if there's a lot of tourists it means that every restaurant must be busy and there should be plenty of staff to handle the crowd but in our case today we have to wait for about 25 to 30 minutes before we got seated and waited another 20 minutes to get our food,,while waiting for our food I noticed that they are only allowing to seat 3 tables on each side of the restaurant but they were able to handle a full bar in the middle that can accommodate at least 20 customers, in my confusion why is it that they can able to handle and serve those customers at the bar in which I saw was a full bar but not those customers that keep on coming to dine. I heard the receptionist that the waiting time now is 45 minutes. Noticed also that the floor has a lot of trash around and some tables were not clean. I ordered the blackened chicken and shrimp with mashed potato and my wife had the chicken Alfredo and they were both okay. Did talked to our server about what I saw and observed and he told us that they were under staff since the start of summer. read more

Great value for the buck. If you're not in the mood for "hit or miss restaurant roulette" and the grief of getting dealt a bad hand, just come here with your family for expected value at the least. Our server, Courtney, was top shelf. (She'd have NO problem at a Times Square restaurant on New Year's Eve. That good.) The BBQ Club sandwich was quite tasty, I inhaled it in no time. read more

A frightening place to find yourself on a Wednesday afternoon - or anytime for that matter. I was greeted by a terrifying life size cutout of Dwayne the rock Johnson in a poorly lit and greasy smelling hallway. My nightmare was only continued when I looked at the menu. A sparse variety of burgers such as a supreme quesadilla burger - yuck. As I desperate cry of help I stuck to the basics, and coke. I was greeted by a watered down sludge. I found myself deeper in the rabbit hole of terror when my meal arrived. There is no escape. The only way to win the game is to not win at all. Please save yourself and never open those god forsaken doors. Thanks for listening. read more

Great place to watch when in the area. My son loved the tacos. Also wasn't too mobbed at lunchtime.

I went to this, North Conway, NH, Applebees location recently with my friend and I had a very negative experience with the bartender, Kimberly. Probably one of the rudest, most disrespectful, self-centered, obnoxious individuals in the industry. She clearly was young maybe 25-26, had zero concept how to do her job, was texting on her phone the whole time, was barely paying attention to my friend or myself or anyone else at the bar; we all had to ask for her attention. Our drinks took far to long to come out; two perfect margaritas and to top it off was taking to a coworker about her personal problems, regarding childcare and other inappropriate topics to be speaking on at work; After work plans and extracurricular activities. I have worked in the industry for longer than she's been alive and I am completely disgusted with her unprofessional behavior. I seriously hope this matter is taken into consideration and she feels the repercussions of childish unprofessionalism. I will also be calling corporate as this was uncalled behavior. -Sarah D. read more

Don't have much to say about the food because we sat in the lobby for nearly 20 minutes without being seated and only barely acknowledged. It was around 20:30 and basically dead for a Saturday, yet we couldn't even get seated. read more

No air conditioning, food was boring and very commercial. Only went here because choices were few and far between. Either eat before you get to your hotel, or buy food to bring to your room. Haven't been to an Applebee's in years. This place reminded me why. read more

A little wait but that's cause of COVID, and once we were inside the atmosphere was nice, TV, people etc. we placed our orders in and waited for what seemed like an extremely long time. Our waitress, (Caroline maybe) was extremely nice and very helpful. I ordered the classic bacon cheeseburger and I ordered it pink in the middle. The burger was well done and not pink at all however it was still descent. The fries were good and so were the drinks. Overall not an extremely notable place but decent in the long run. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The drinks, apps and entrees are amazing. Always clean and always great service.

Honestly, we were tired and exhausted from our drive. This seemed like the easiest option. We were not disappointed. We ordered curbside in the rain and the staff was quick and friendly! We appreciated Johnny's positive attitude and treating our food with care in bad weather. read more

Terrible experience! My boyfriend and I tried to catch a couple drinks while watching the Celtics game May 27th. We got the half price apps (chicken quesadilla) and a clam chowder. The clam chowder looked like it was microwaved and it was a very verrrry small portion and the chicken quesadilla was way below average. The best part is that they decided to not serve my boyfriend! He lost his ID previously, so he got a temporary license STAMPED by the DMV and didn't get served. We explained everything to the manager and nothing got accomplished. Any other Applebee's chain or restaurant wouldn't have a problem with it. NEVER coming back here again!! read more

Appreciated that this Applebee's could accommodate a party of 10. Although they didn't have mint for mojitos or agave syrup for tequila drinks, the bar was able to whip up many of their other drinks on the menu including the dos equisrita. Most of our party took advantage of the 2 for $25 deal that includes an app and two entrees from that specific menu. The 6oz sirloin was the most ordered followed by the bourbon chicken and shrimp sizzler. Followed by salmon and Mac and cheese ordered from their regular menu. I got the 6oz sirloin medium rare (came out perfectly) with mac and cheese and grilled veggies as my sides. The grilled veggies were slathered in garlic butter which I used to give the sirloin and Mac and cheese some flavor. Shared onion rings as the app and they use a sourdough batter to get them thick and crunchy. When the bourbon chicken and shrimp sizzler came out for our party member it looked hot, tasty, and fantastic. Turns out they had cooked the onions and mushrooms on the cast iron plate to get it piping hot and ready and then added the warmed up chicken, shrimp, and sides. Disappointing. The place was relatively clean, busy for a Saturday night, and had plenty of parking. Props to our waitress who actually made sure to return twice after another party member was told mojitos were out because there wasn't any mint and he couldn't decide what to order. It's Applebee's, nothing spectacular, but everything familiar. Their new fire grilled menu items are the latest push to seem sophisticated. read more

We've been staying at the North Conway Grand and my family and I decided to go to this Applebee's as it is our 10 year old sons birthday. He's autistic and sometimes can be loud however we were disgusted to overhear the bartenders and servers speaking loud enough to hear them. The words they exchanged were rude and gross to hear as a mother. They were ridiculing my son for his behavior, something he cannot control. As someone in the industry, it was embarrassing and disrespectful to see such workers being so inhumane to our son. Our meal was subpar and I'm extremely disappointed. Applebee's, do better. I will never return to this establishment again. read more

This is the worst apple bees i've ever been to. I'm not even joking a mouse tan over my feet and there was a hair in my pasta. The manager was extremely disrespectful. Will not be coming back here.

Hi, was in North Conway for two nights with the family and went to this restaurant twice. Always go here when I'm in town and have seen this restaurant progressively get worse as time goes by. Food is getting greasier every time I go and the wait times are astronomical. Not because it's busy, but because there's no staff. This isn't just a Covid thing, it started before Covid. Waiting for a table for 30 minutes when there's only about 10 people in the restaurant. Sent them an email and got a " sorry we had staff call in sick " line fed to me. Guessing no one wants to work there for other reasons. read more
