Extremely slow service, wait staff is untrained and not helpful. They are running 45 minute ticket times on an early Saturday. Never coming back and don't recommend. read more

Absolutely worst service ever. Went to Patchogue NY for dinner and this is our last Applebee's dining experience ever. Was not packed waited over 20 min for water and a lemonade (non alcoholic) and over 35 for appetizers then another 20 for 2 dinners. While we watched others come in after and get their food. Will never step foot in another Applebees again read more

Good food but Christine can suck the tip of my chodehole. I'm in this shit all the time and this shriveled up creation of Satan has the audacity to throw our fucking water bottle out like water bottles are free nigga gtfo Update: now the Cunt banned me wtf read more

Service: Honestly not impressed with this location. When I walk into a restaurant I expect to be acknowledged almost immediately. Granted it was pretty busy the day I went for lunch but two employees were standing at the counter just looking at the computer didn't even care to look up once. Ended up just sitting at the bar, couldn't deal with them. Food: The food took way too long to come out for something that is microwaved. It probably just sat back there because it wasn't even hot. I get that this is just Applebee's but come on you can do better! read more

i come here at least six times a month. we have good times. food is okay but i don't even notice. pretzels have too much salt. bathrooms are gross. we found a wig in the bathroom. you can't order chips and guacamole. disposable. not enough sauce on buffalo wings. fries are good and very long. that's what she said. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - my friends and i having a grand ol' time at applebee's. - American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

This is my regular applebee's, and i've always gotten good service here but tonight i ordered the wrong salad which i guess i heard the waiter wrong and yes that was my fault. But the waitress, i'm specifically writing this because she approached me and said "i better not see my name on yelp" which is extremely rude. I won't put her name on here be use i do have respect. Also she was clearly listening to my friends and I conversation. Food was alright. read more

Absolutely trash, food is terrible service is even worse. They brought the bigger steak back the 12oz after they got rid of the 10 and it's the worst cut I've ever eaten. Will never come back read more

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this place, especially since the newest one is from like 2012. Well, I guess I'll be the "update" This is my local Applebee's, and I visit it somewhat regularly...particularly for half off appetizers and twofers. I'm giving it 4 stars almost for nostalgic reasons, but also because I almost always have a good meal here...and with a chain restaurant like this, that's hard to do. Our last visit, I got some sliders for half off, and they were actually pink in the middle. SLIDERS. At a CHAIN restaurant. Needless to say I was impressed they didn't hockey puck the thing. I think that's the key to enjoying chains like this. It's a chain, have low standards! They're mega cheap, have tons of deals, and generally have the same level of quality (which can range to damn good if you hit the right day). This place has gotten more and more popular over the years, and multiple times I've come in here late night just to have to wait 20 minutes for a table. If you're going to Applebees, I doubt a review on Yelp is going to make or break it for you, I mean chances are you probably already know what you're getting into, but this specific restaurant gets Scott E's restaurant chain of approval, and you can rest easy you at least won't get horrible food. read more

Came here with two friends and was seated. After waiting 25 minutes with no one coming over for a drink order and asking not ONE but two servers for a waiter, to no avail, we got up and left. Not to mention, getting the attention of the servers was nearly impossible because they were wearing earbuds and/or standing around talking to their coworkers - when you did manage to get their attention, they would make eye contact and blatantly ignore you. We tried to let the host know on the way out, but they were also MIA. Don't waste your time here. read more

I know this is a casual dining restaurant, but I have to write a review and explain my experience this evening. I have a food allergy and our waitress Laury D. and the manager, Darren were truly exceptional. They brought out a food allergy menu and reviewed everything with me. They were genuinely concerned and went above and beyond what I would have ever expected. My food of course was really good. Honestly my wife and I just got some burgers but they were really good. And I have to say for the price I was truly surprised. For a little more than the cost of fast food we had a tasty meal. For the money I am impressed with Applebee's and we will certainly return. read more

So this restaurant cannot handle a party of 10 people. They cannot move any tables to accommodate their customers because of so called rules from corporate. On top of that they close the waiting room and store tables and chairs in that space and make their customers wait outside In The cold or in their cars when there is sufficient space to social distance and wait comfortably. The general manager does not have to do any thinking on his own because he has all of the outdated rules from corporate established 8 months ago. Believe me the only reason to go to this place is so we can spend some time with friends, it is certainly not for the food. read more

Applebee's is Applebee's, let's be real. You get what you pay for, and for the most part, it's pretty much the same no matter what location you visit. With that being said, the service is something on which I can comment, and this Applebee's does not exactly excel in this department. I came here with my sister and my cousin for a night of food and a much needed catch-up. We were seated at a table by the bar, which should've been convenient when it came to expedited service. Wrong. Our drinks took a bit of time to come to us (like, really?), as did the food. The typical "How is everything?" that one receives from their waiter or waitress never happened, and when our waiter did eventually show up with check, it took him forever to process the payment. I gave it three stars for it's easygoing atmosphere and edible food, but they need to pick up their game in service. read more

What happened?!?!?! I'm usually a big fan of Applebee's, but tonight......I don't know. 30 - 40 minute wait, but that's a given. All of these restaurants in this area are like this and that's not my complaint. We finally sat down and the waiter took our order for drinks and entrées. The food came out in a timely manner, but guess what? No utensils! As a matter of fact no tables in out area had utensils! Lol. And our dishes were far from being finger food. My wife ordered a steak dinner and asked for it medium raw. It came out well done and hard to chew. It was kind of hard to get my waiter to complain about her dish but after a while it was taken away for a proper steak. I had to eat in front of her, in which I really don't like to do but I was really hungry and I didn't want it to go cold. My dish? I ordered a shrimp scampi linguini. I was expecting a shrimp scampi linguini. My dish came out with a splash of red sauce in it which changed the whole taste of the dish entirely. When the manager came with my wife's proper steak he asked me about my dish. I complained like I said above. He showed me in the menu about the sauce that I complained about. Some big fancy name. I'm not a chef, so I don't know these big fancy words, but if your main title says "shrimp scampi linguini" that's what your expecting! I'm not buying the story that was given to me. I'm not knocking the waiter because none of this was his fault, but I noticed that all of the waiters seems tired and overworked and still running around like crazy. The drinks were good and I would still go again. I just probably picked a bad night. read more

i love this place so much but i don't at the same time i will explain why. i come here a lot with my friends and one time i came and me and my friends kept laughing and some old people complained about us so we left and the waiter got so mad cause we wanted to leave which is our right if we wanna leave but the other times i came here was good sometimes the fries are nasty OHHH and don't order the ribs they always burn them but the pasta and other stuff is delicious read more

I am very disappointed as this used to be a great place to hang out get good food and a few beers and hang out with friends. However the lack of quality check really bothers me. The food and service is not on par and sad because it used to be when they first opened this location. The wait staff is running ragged to bring everything out while they also have to clean and prepare the tables and wait for a bartender to make the drinks. Which brings me to another major problem the drinks are really a disappointment. They are micro managed to marks on the bottle and auto stop on half a shot for most of the mixed drinks. If they let bartenders be bartenders would totally improve the quality of what they serve. Hopefully next visit will be better read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - BREW PUB PRETZELS & BEER CHEESE DIP (Not what it should look like ) - American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

I recently went for dinner with my parents to Applebee's because they usually like this place and it's their favorite restaurant we were at unpleasantly surprised when many menu items were unavailable no substitutions were available on certain meals. On my particular meal all I wanted to do was substitute mashed potatoes for french fries something that costs this restaurant nothing and I was denied and had to order a separate basket of fries. Will defiantly head to Friday's instead! read more

We have a habit of coming here as a last resort when out of food or in need of a late-night fix. It's progressively gotten worse over the years. For starters at least twice in the past 6 months we've gone in with just the two of us and been met with an hour-long wait due to the entire restaurant shutting down for UFC fights. Once, we even placed a reservation and they didn't hold it, with the excuse of 'People are watching the fight, we can't hold tables.' despite telling us earlier in the day they could. The food itself is teeming with sodium, and this is coming from someone who puts table salt on everything. No joke, every time we go here, we end up absurdly thirsty for the next 24 hours. I dunno why they heap salt onto everything (once we literally saw small piles of salt on our nachos!) but it's overkill and not really necessary since the food doesn't taste BAD per se. If you like long waits and crowds of teenagers, look no further! We wouldn't even recommend coming here at night even if it were the last place open in town. If you go during the day, it's marginally better. read more

A staple of any highschoolers life on the island applebees is a fun and affordable place to eat. This mostly stems from half apps. They messed up halfapps though by drastically cutting portions. There are also more middle school kids now. read more

See all

I usually am very pleased when I come to this location. Tonight my waitress was named crystal & I was very disappointed with the service. All she seemed to be concerned about as she stated to us is "hanging out and eating fries". She continuously had Loud conversations about getting drunk with her friends at two tables over & gave us our check while we were eating & without asking if we wanted dessert. Her continuous screaming across the restaurant was very unprofessional. I felt rushed to pay & leave. Very disappointed. read more

Please stop putting half the spoon in the chicken when your serving it. Just serve me a proper amount

yeaahhhhh I mean, it's an Applebee's, I've been told people also call it "Crapplebees" which kinda makes sense. The food's not....great? It's edible, definitely frozen, half off apps are always really greasy and kind of gross. Once i went here when there was a UFC fight happenin and there were literally dozens of tables of people who had finished their meals and drinks and were just bumming around, and there were around 20 or so people waiting for a table to eat, and the managers just ignored us, told us it would be a "2 hour wait" and just let us rot there. I've only ever gone here because friends have wanted to go, but BOI, I got some better friends so BYE APPLEBEES. read more

We started off the night waiting in line at another Applebee's but left when a group of unsupervised teenagers got into a fist fight. We went to this Applebee's instead. After an unusually long wait, received drinks with half the alcohol as normal because we ordered two-fors. Waitress told is this is normal. Let me be clear: two for one mixed drinks contain 50% the normal amount of alcohol at this Applebee's. If you go there for this, you best enjoy glasses of mixer. What made this visit worse was the litter under the table, the bloody bandage on the booths seat,the flipped over table at the next booth over, and the fact that the bar couldn't even be bothered filling up our two for one mixed drinks that they put half the amount of alcohol in as a rule. This was a horrible visit softened a bit because our waitress was beautiful. Still, I'll stay away from this place in the future as I feel my money would be better spent thrown in the street. read more

I went there for half apps had a waitress named crystal .. so rude gave us our check mid way of us eating didn't even ask if we wanted dessert or anything just put the check on our table 2 TIMES!!! so rude we even wanted dessert but she was in a rush to get out of there. Was not happy with my service at all. read more

God dam I love this place. Still confused about the name but that isn't going to stop me from giving it 5 stars. Me and buddy walked straight up to the bar and the bartender poured us 2 beers of exactly what we wanted without saying a word. I've never met this man before in my life! We got the wings and the quesadillas. Mine came out with ranch instead of blue cheese I'm assuming the bartender knew I like ranch instead as well. Also I call them wings but I could have called them breasts because some of these bad boys were so big I had much trouble fitting the entirety of them into my mouth. Let's not dwell on the breasts** for too long cause the quesadillas were just as good if not so much better. We got the chili lime chicken instead of steak (not because of price or religious reasons we just wanted to try the chili lime chicken. I'm actually pretty opposed to people not eating red meat for religious purposes.) We drank. We laughed. We ate. We drank. I couldn't tell you the Oracle of a bartenders name but he could probably tell me mine. Not only because I paid with my card and he saw my name but also probably because he guessed all of my order correct and I've never met him before. Can't wait to go back. I'm sure the bartender knows when I'll be back so I'll have to ask him. **I say breasts but I don't want to be totally wrong this is just my opinion or may be specific to just this applebees. Please order with caution or let the bartender order for you cause he will know what you want. read more

Respectable food and drinks, friendly service. Good value for money. Conveniently located.

I am a very frequent customer and always have a great time here but tonight was very different. I am 21 years old and my license picture is from my permit picture so I have glasses on in it that I do not wear anymore. I ordered a LI tea from my waitress and it was delivered by what I can assume was a manager who proceeded to id me again and then interrogate me on not having glasses and there being something on my ID that she had "never seen before" and was very reluctant on giving me my drink. After she left I compared my ID with that of my friend who I was eating with and they were exactly the same. I did not my stay at all. Not sure if I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

This is the worst experience I have ever had here. I waited 20+ mins for a table then there were roughly 4-5 available even the table that I saw on the Best Buy parking lot side was still available. So when we finally sat down we asked our waiter how come there is such a long wait because there was one clean table and two dirty tables for the room full of people waiting. Then we were told how they were understaffed and that she's the only person who cleans up her tables and how there isn't anyone else who helps her or any buss boys to help make things move more smoothly. Then to top it off waited another 15-18 mins for our food to come out which we placed the order in as soon as we sat down but the people to our left are getting refill after refill of what me and my father ordered for dinner. Then was told they are really busy but here she is bringing out food to people who sat down after us. And to top it off the food is cold was told it just dropped and she just picked it up. If I could give this place no stars I would. And in this time I've been writing this haven't seen her at all come out of the back! And when the manager came back to ask for the food she makes up excuses the manager LAUREN G WAS VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL ABOUT HOW SHE SPOKE TO MY FATHER. AND THEY STOOD THERE SAYING THERE UNDERSTAFFED. AND WHAT A "CRAP SHOOT" read more

Normally don't have any issues here, but tonight came and was told that the only open area was the high top tables by the bar. Normally this would be fine, but I brought my 10 month old, and was told they would not accommodate with any sort of high chair in that area. After a very rude hostess finally brought a manager into the situation some time later, we were seated in the regular section. Keep in mind, there were full tables in the regular section, and waiters and waitresses were still on the clock and seemed to have no problem letting the 8 of us sit. read more

Food is mediocre, atmosphere is noisy and crowded AND the bathroom is always a mess... I've visited a few times and it's pretty much always the same. Service is barely there... To be sure- friends said chicken tacos are good...but that burgers are only acceptable. I did like the sweet potato fries. But-The last time I ordered a salad, it was not very good at all- lettuce was old and turning. Ugh. There are TV's everywhere...and it's right off the highway-so it's convenient but...not going to spend anymore in this place.Recently decided to go elsewhere when possible- local little places are much better...and why not support the little guy? read more

Carside to go. The sign says "you will be greeted in 30 sec " this doesn't always happen . Otherwise pleasant staff. The website was giving me an error saying the store rejected something in my order. I called and was taken care of right away. read more

I came for the unlimited boneless wings and initially got the shrimp then afterwords got the ribs and they were the most disgusting ribs I've ever eaten in my whole entire life and it completely ruined my appetite. Also the waiting staff was awfull read more

Descent food for a chain. Service ok portions pathetic! Got a burger with fries. I counted them there was 14 fries. read more

After visiting this Applebees again, I figured out why this privacy wall is behind the urinals. Once the restroom door is open, there is a clear view of the urinals so this wall actually prevents the servers from seeing a bunch of guys making the shake motion as manhandle themselves and negotiate their member back in the fly. Bump back up to 3 stars. read more

We go to Applebee's from time to time and the food is what it is since its a huge corporation... therefore what makes THIS Applebee's stand out and what makes me come to Yelp for a review was our waiter GLENN... he was Awesome!! He got in the corporate hoo-ha... while making it a fun experience. He was so funny and efficient and clearly acted as though he enjoyed his job. He should be a corporate trainer for Applebee's wait staff - as he had perfect timing and attitude. Many Applebee's waitstaff could learn a thing or two... He even got himself a bigger tip then normal... with the crazy lives people lead and grabbing a bite to eat at this type of restaurant, waitstaff is almost more important then the food...Thank You Glenn! read more

Applebees screwed up!! My waitress tai was awful. No napkins. Didn't clear the table. I told 4 waiters at the hostess desk of my husbands birthday. 4!!! When the waitress brang the check I was appalled. It ruined the whole surprise! Applebee's in Patchogue. I don't think this is the first time you failed me. But I'd SERIOUSLY like to have a talk with your head manager. You ruined my husbands birthday. Thanks. read more

The food always good but tonight myself and my boyfriend sat at the bar and ordered food. I asked for a burger and to sub out my fries for a salad, the bartender Thea then replied with "no I'm too busy for that just get fries". EXCUSE ME!? I'm pretty sure no matter how busy it is that's still your job read more

I wanted to take time to offer praise and sincere gratitude where it is very much deserved. On the late evening of January 20, 2019, Applebee's, located on 499 N. Service, Patchogue, NY, welcomed a large family party (approximately 23 people) unexpectedly. My family had just left the wake service of a very dear family member. Everyone was sad, tired, hungry and in great need of good food and company. After telling the manager, Albert, the circumstances my family party was coming from, he and his staff rose to the occasion. Our server, Kayla, handled our large group with grace and immense kindness. I can only imagine that large parties can be incredibly stressful in the restaurant industry. However, Albert, Kayla and the rest of the Applebee's staff were always kind, courteous and professional. I wanted to extend my sincerest thanks on behalf of my family to Albert, Kayla and the rest of the Applebee's staff in Patchogue for the warmth, comfort and kindness you extended to a (very large) family who needed it. read more

My spouse and I have been coming here for the past 5 years and always has Harry who was the best. He recently left and we had Matty! I was joking with him how he compared to harry but seriously he was an amazing waiter!!! Very accommodating and kind and made us laugh. We have had prior bad experiences there but when you find a great waiter it is so worth the time out. read more

The service was great. The table we were sitting at was a bit dirty and every ketchup bottle at the surrounding tables were completely empty. The food is pretty decent but the French fries are bland. Overall decent. read more

Harry was awesome, we had a whole bunch of apps during half off app night and he got out all our food and drinks perfectly. I've been to other Applebee's and even in san diego where the weather is nice and people are happy we didn't get as great of service. My younger cousin sat with us after we were all seated and Harry had him a water in seconds. Awesome, just awesome! Thanks Harry! read more
