This is one of my favorite places to eat. However, tonight I was extremely dissatisfied! My server was very slow and payed no attention to what was going on around them. My food came out with bacon when the description did not say bacon. As a vegetarian I was very upset, but unable to complain as my server wasn't around and the nearby servers ran past... ran! When my husband and I were done eating and waiting on boxes, we waited over an hour! No exaggeration! Over an hour for BOXES, before I was able to flag down another server. Having worked in food service, I understand that it can be busy, but this is just not alright! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - stick in mash - American Near Me - Oneonta, New York

Stay Away! If you have to come here stick to the apps (and they aren't that great either). All their food is frozen and heated up by untrained "cooks". Don't be surprised to have food unbearably hot on the outside and still cold in the middle from the freezer. It is Burger King with beer. And i kind of feel bad for throwing Burger King under the bus like that. read more

terrible service, didn't check in on us, messed up a bunch, food didn't make us feel great

Stopped in after a movie for dessert. The hostess seated us at a booth next to the bar, although there were plenty of open booths in the dining room. The entire time we listened to some foul mouth drop the F bomb. Very unpleasant... ruined the visit. We won't hurry back. read more

My lady wanted to try it out. Big mistake I was warned prior to me going in. We were seated immediately. The magic hat on tap was nasty. There chips soggy and new shrimp southwestern Alfredo dish was Nasty .....well I recommend never go worst time read more

Yes, this is like any other Applebee's, all of which I normally despise. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants, but I am a fan of this location of this chain restaurant. As a Hartwick student, the happy hour here was a saving grace for me and my buddies when we didn't feel like spending a lot of money or being downtown. You really can't go wrong with the discounted appetizers and drafts. This is pretty much the only place in Oneonta not on Main St. where you can find a happy hour. Play it safe and keep it simple and you'll leave happy. read more

Inconsistent, cannot cook steak properly. Sometimes food is ok, service is fine. Better experience in New Hartford (NY) Applebee's. Veteran meal is kind of sad... For steak, ask for medium rare and cross your fingers. Jan 3,2015 Don't have a picture of it, but today Applebees continued its terrible service/food with a plate that look liked they scraped the grill onto it. The replacement came with free hair, never a dull moment at that place. I seriously wish I was exaggerating... During checkout another customer was bringing a steak back that wasn't cooked the way they wanted. If you have pics of your Applebees food feel free to share it. read more

See all

Considering other establishments available to you in this vicinity this is a very well done location the food is well taken care of the waitstaff does a good very good job highly recommended for this area read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - The infamous bar at Applebees - American Near Me - Oneonta, New York

Haven't been there in awhile and we will not be going back. We have gone every couple months and had ok food. This time was a complete bust. The waiter was very nice and accommodating. The food was ridiculous. Ordered the 2/$25 meals plus appetizer. Sounds like a deal but you expect good food at $12.50 a plate. Artichoke dip was a tiny bowl with a handful of chips. Husband said his steak was tasty but dry. My "mac and CHEESE WITH CHICKEN" was a joke. 2 small chicken strips on top of ziti macaroni which had MAYBE 3Tbs of some kind of white sauce that was most certainly NOT any kind of cheese. It was tasteless and the noodles were so dry they were inedible. Apparently my hubby said the bread stick was good. So i paid $12.50 for a breadstick. Lesson learned... applebees is off our list of minimal restaurants in Oneonta. read more

I could of done better with a fire pit in the woods with a small pan. The burger was cold, not cooked right and the boneless were colder then Andrew Cuomo's heart. It's not hard to do a medium rare burger and wings with a BLT. I was also not the only person who had problem with their food. Reba was a great server but the management and cooks need to get their shit together. read more

Went the other night and wow it was great. My tapeworm enjoyed the food very much. Really loved the sushi with clams. Also, the napkins felt good when I used them to wipe my ass later, so that's a plus. read more

This is the absolute worst Applebee's I have ever been to! I'm not even sure where to start. It took 20 minutes for them to seat us. After we got our table, we met our waiter, who may be one of the rudest people that ever existed. I ordered my drink, and we ordered our appetizers and entrees. Fast forward another agonizing 20 minutes until my drink finally arrived. Awesome! $8 for 90% ice. Appreciate it! After swallowing my drink in a single sip, our appetizers followed shortly after. No complaints about this, except the portion sizes were small. Now we waited, and waited, and waited... Finally! Oh wait, only two of five entrees. Where's the rest? Oh! They are still cooking. It took four trips in a ten minute span for all the food to come out. Some entrees were cold, others were so disgusting that we didn't want to eat it! Not to mention the rude, creepy waiter came back and stood there watching us eat. What is this, a scene from Deliverance? We mentioned we had a birthday in our group. He said Happy Birthday, stuck a lighter in his face and said make a wish! Don't waste your precious time on this place! read more

We waited for almost 45 minutes for our food after ordering dinner. The restaurant was not very busy and the service was very, very slow. The food was disappointing after a long drive from Illinois to Cooperstown to drop our son off to play at Dreams Park and this was our first dinner with our 5 year old and 1 year old after arriving in town. Very disappointing experience and we would recommend spending money at other better rated establishments. read more

Never really had a wonderful experience at applebee's and it is never the first choice. This particular visit though, was one of the worst. ordered chips and salsa for a family of four to begin with, we received a large portion of chips and barely any salsa. When we tried to request more salsa our waitress was mia. My main issue though is the lack of accommodation. No where in the menu does it say items are pre-made. I had ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich but asked if the could throw it on a wrap (as there are wraps on the menu) but the waitress informed me that they would not be willing to accommodate me bc the kitchen was busy. Number 1, I work in a restaurant and it is way simpler to put a sandwich on a wrap and 2 the waitress was not even willing to ask the kitchen for this special but simple accommodation. This restaurant has become my last resort and i will likely avoid at all costs. read more

Went in for dinner. Ordered a chopped fiesta salad- salad was not chopping, they drenched it in salad dressing, and threw some Cheese! I absolutely returned that shit back! Manager comped it and asked if I wanted another one. Apple bees this is the second time I've been disappointed with your service, and food! Almost not worth going anymore. read more

I feel like it is my public duty to write this review. I've been to this Applebee's three times in my entire life, starting from when they opened years ago to just recently. I have ordered the bacon burger, creamy linguine pasta, and grilled chicken salad, respectively. After every single one of those meals, I've gotten violently sick from food poisoning. Not just me, the entire group of four I was with. Three times. That is TWELVE cases of food poisoning! I really do not understand how they are still in business. Given that almost all of the Applebee's food is already prepared when it gets there, something must go terribly wrong in their kitchen. I've heard from the grapevine that the kitchen is filthy and the equipment is faulty. I would not order anything from here, period. But don't take my word for it, go ask to see their kitchen and then decide if you want to order. Go anywhere else in Oneonta to eat. Seriously. read more

We went to Applebees on Friday and it was amazing! We hadnt been in a few years, but the management is amazing. They were extremely short staffed, due to unexpected absences, and the manager himself came out on the floor and was assisting his staff. Great atmosphere and great people. The margarita's were also perfect! read more

Applebee's need to go AWAY - it is only non-fast food & non-ma/pa place in town and it was typically Applebee's which = horrible experience ever- food before drinks - salad missing 5 foods & instead of fixing it they comp'd the salad - hosted smoking out front while people waited- read more

Waited 20 minutes to even be acknowledged by our waitress, Mary. We had to ask another waiter to tell our waitress that we were in her section. She then finally greeted us but acted as if we were being impatient, "you need to wait and give me a minute" and didn't even take our drink order. She walked away! Thanks Mary, maybe you need to find another type of job because you don't seem to have a handle on this one. read more

This is really not a restaurant so much as it is a game of chance. Will they get your order right? Will your food have seafood on the plate, even though no one at your table ordered it and you're allergic? Will their ninety billion televisions and blaring music let you have a polite conversation? If you go in the evening, will the lights be on or will you need to bring a flashlight? I have never had a good experience there, and I only go because friends and relatives want to, and I eat before I go. read more

Food was great. I ate a burger cooked medium just like I like them it was perfect and my waitress Brittany P. is awesome cool vibe. Id like to be seated in her section again next time I come in. read more

Beers are ice Cold. waiter was real cool and polite... food was just ok.. we ordered appetizers and seems the food is microwaved... and it kind of tasted that way... read more

Very nice restaurant, the staff was very courteous and he food was very well prepared.

It's Applebees, a chain, so ... it is what it is, but this one usually has great bartenders and good wait staff. The drinks do take awhile to get, however. We've never had one problem with food and this our go to spot if we're seeing a film in the mall. read more

First the waitress put my drink at the corner edge of the table and I knocked it over. Someone tell the waiters and waitress to put drinks in the middle of your table. Then my order The Four Cheese Mac and Cheese Honey Chicken Tenders. There was no four cheese of anything,and the chicken was hard as a rock and dry. There was water in the bottom of my plate,it was a microwaved meal. I new on the way home I was going to be sick. It was stuck in my throat the whole way home. Got home vomitted the meal right up. Never again will I ever eat there,and nor should you. read more

I'm not normally into chain restaurants but this Applebee's managed to pull off a small town locally owned feel. I felt like I was treated likes regular even tho I was just passing thru. Of note: the gluten free menu was more substantial than I expected and Fiesta Lime Chicken I ordered was delicious. read more

The server was high as a kite and made sure to let everyone know he was the best server ever lol, the salad was bitter, the mozzarella sticks were cold, the quesadilla was soggy, the onion rings that came with my entree were cold, the mushrooms in my entree were so cold it was almost like they just came out of a refrigerator, the 10 little dime size pieces of steak were just grizzle, the mashed potatoes were chunky but they were the only thing that was hot on the whole plate, and the sangria I ordered was straight alcohol. By far the worst experience I've ever had at any Applebee's. read more

We were seated quickly, as the restaurant was not busy. Our waitress also came quickly to take our drink orders. After that, is when all hell broke loose. We were seated at 7, our entree orders weren't taken until 7:30. I have a mushroom allergy, but my favorite entree(bourbon chicken and shrimp) contains mushrooms. I dine at Applebee's often, as it's one of my favorite chains. I order this same dish every time and tell them no mushrooms because I have an allergy. This has never been an issue until tonight. When my dinner came out there were mushrooms on the plate. I quickly sent the dish back because even if I inhale mushrooms, my throat begins to itch. When our server returned, she was carrying the same exact plate with the same exact shrimp and the same exact chicken. All the same food that was already sitting in with the mushrooms. And I know it was the same plate because I noticed the chicken's odd shape when they brought it out the first time. And it was "out" in under five minutes. All they did was throw the chicken back on the grill and take off the mushrooms. And then put the chicken back on the plate. Well, they didn't catch all of the mushrooms. A piece of a mushroom was sitting under one of my shrimp. The shrimp that I put in my mouth. I, of course, spit it out instantly. I told the server to just take it away. After waiting for forty-five minutes for food, and having it come out with your allergen sitting on it. Not once. But twice. You tend to lose your appetite. The server's response was "well we can't guarantee that it won't come out without the allergen." That's very true and I understand that. BUT you should be able to guarantee that you won't put something I'm allergic to, all over the plate you're bringing out to me. It wasn't just one piece. The manager didn't come out until after everyone else had already eaten and we were getting ready to leave. Initially, he asked if I was really allergic to mushrooms, or did I just not like them. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. And then he proceeded to say, if you got a salad, I could guarantee you wouldn't have any mushrooms in it because there aren't any mushrooms even near that station. But anything else on the menu I can't guarantee because the mushrooms can get into the onions and mix in and we don't even notice." OKAY. So what you're telling me is that I have to have a salad or I have to risk my life by eating here? Well lucky for you guys, I will no longer be dining at this location. And then he goes "well, I'm happy you didn't die!" And then walked away. And my margarita was all pomegranate and no margarita. read more

We always love Applebee's and today is no exception. We got the 2 for $20 and it was delicious with a great waitress :)

My friends and I went out for dinner and drinks last night. We had a fantastic time. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were very delicious! I had the fiesta lime chicken and a margarita. read more

My Applebee's experience today was very enjoyable. I was feasted on an appetizer sampler which comprised of chicken wonton tacos which were spicy and sweet with a crunchy shell, then I had some buffalo boneless wings and then I finished my feast with a lovely mini steak quesadilla. I guess applebees truly is my favorite neighborhood grill. read more

Absolute worst restaurant experience we have ever had! Waited 15 minutes for drinks from the bar, waited way too long for food that was burnt, got coleslaw with no dressing & to top it off the stupid machines weren't working to run our payments! We ran 4 different cards numerous with no luck so they finally get a manager, who's shirt was unbuttoned & not tucked in (looked very sloppy) who can't figure it out either, but "EVERYONE else's payments are working fine." After telling them we had been there for 2 hours & we had to get our son back to the dorms (Cooperstown) we left & said we would have to return with the payment. Don't worry, we stopped on the way back and bought stuff at a gas station to make sure our cards worked! What a BS place! I felt bad for the waitress, she was doing what she could & it's not her fault the food sucked! read more

DO NOT GO (unless you want to have an allergic reaction and food poisoning). Went to Applebee's in Oneonta, NY. I told the server I was Gluten Free (celiacs disease) and I chose from the gluten free menu AND asked her to double check to make sure the items were gluten free. She did and assured me they were. After eating my appetizer, I was about to pass out, in excruciating pain, and could barely stand. The appetizer was NOT Gluten Free. I have been bed ridden for the last three days because of the allergic reaction I am having for which there is NO cure for. I notified the manager that I was having a reaction and that there was something wrong within 5 minutes of eating that appetizer. She was not concerned and did not even ask how I was doing. She said she was email corporate and take the appetizer off my bill. The service is unbelievably rude and inconsiderate, especially when they gave someone food that they knew they were allergic to. They should be sued and shut down. Please do not go here. It is dangerous. read more

Fourth time in a row, small portion . RIDICULOUSLY SMALL PORTIONS! Same price lessfood. All done.

I've spent a lot of money and a lot of time in Applebee's because there are not a lot of places to go in Oneonta. I have been compensated over and over in this place because the kitchen staff is horrid. They do not pay attention to the orders and they seem to take zero pride in the product they send out. You'd think they wouldn't be able to screw up food that is already prepared, but they seem to. They also (the kitchen staff) seem to be the dirtiest looking people. The wait staff is usually very nice, and most of the managers are very apologetic for the kitchen, but seriously, cooking this food is not rocket science! read more

It was the worst place I ever ate at. food was nasty, cold and the service was really bad. I ended up with 13 sores in my mouth. My kids and my husband and myself all ended up on the toilet all night.. Stay away from this place crapabee's!!! $126.00 wasted. And this review thing is making me roll over the stars to post this read more

Servers are rude and ignore tables. One even seemed drunk once! Basically only chain family restaurant in town so we've come here a couple times, but it seems each time the service is worse and worse. Too bad because their prices are awesome! read more

This was the worst service I have ever experienced. We were surrounded by a huge crowd with no noise control. We had no napkins brought to our table, no silverware, no drink refills, no check in to see if we needed anything. Absolutely terrible. I never received an appetizer I ordered. Will not be coming back to this location. read more

We came here as a group of 50 (44 high school students and 6 chaperones). We ordered ahead off the 2 for $20 menu and we were seated right away despite being early. Our food arrived in a timely manner. Sean and Jordan were very patient with us and wonderful! read more
