    Party of 2 went on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and our orders were taken promptly. The appetizer came within a reasonable time but our entrees took forever. I wasn't happy with my O-M cheeseburger because they were stingy on the cheese...nowhere like the ad I saw! And it came on a sizzling plate but no sizzle at all....same with the sizzling caramel apple pie. I still give 4 stars because flavor was still okay and the place provided good value for money.

    I'm trying this Golden Goose and I will report back later.

    This visit was very miss and little hit. I guess Applebee's is just popular now. There seems to be a wait lately. I guess I need to get over that. The services was slow. And I ordered the golden goose drink since the vodka was grey goose and regretted it. There was no balance....so much mango puree...yuk. I literaadded my ice water to the shaker and just sipped it...and took the rest home. Mango water lol. I ordered my usual wonton tacos with shrimp...wasn't that good...my Vallejo location plates it in an editable manner. Thet just threw some shrimp on top. The lud has a bacon ranch chicken sandwich with waffle fries. She had a infused lemonade and enjoyed it. This would have been 2 stars but the bathroom was really clean.

    Over-salted, dead broccoli, cool chicken, and dry taters. Ugh!

    Truly TERRIBLE. Cold food! Overcooked and over-salted broccoli, chicken breast that appeared cooked but was cool to the touch, and potatoes that tasted and had the dry consistency of powdered/boxed but may not have been. (?) Happy Hour was hopping', however, so maybe drinks? Loads of other good restaurants in this mall including old school Italian and pho. In other words, eat elsewhere before going for drinks.

    I would not recommend this location for service. Management, staffing are not professional and caring about customer service. Too many staff is involved in providing services to one table. Staff is not friendly just doing a job for the pay check. Need better training in customer service when service to the public. Presentation of food is not acceptable or appetizing. Silverware didn't look clean even wrap in the napkin. The uniforms of the staff members did not look presentable to my taste as a clean environment. I did not place an order due to what I observed, witness, and my observation during my time waiting to place an order. Management needs to open their eyes to real management ethics and values of good customer service and satisfaction!!!!!!

    Oriental Chicken salad.

    So Applebee's has this Oriental chicken salad that is my go to everytime ! It's enough to share and it has plenty of chicken that this a complete meal . I placed my order on the app and it was ready once I arrived with friendly service. As long as Applebee's has this salad I will definitely return.

    Excellent service! Celeste was a very attentive waitress with a remarkable memory too! I couldn't remember a complicated order like mine! We got the big clucking deal baby! $9.99 for a huge chicken sandwich with unlimited fries and drink hello what a deal! Quiet atmosphere but lots of tvs to watch. Great for game day!

    Went in for happy hour with some coworkers. There was a couple waiting to be seated in front of me when I came in. A couple of employees were standing there and after a couple of minutes sat the couple. I was then finally greeted by the host once they figured out I was not with the couple they just sat. This wasn't my first time at this location. The service and food is always mediocre. I joined our group after a couple of people had already been seated. The server came by the table to drop off one of the drinks that was ordered and told me I had to wait to order my drink instead of asking what I would like. She also ordered the wrong apps for us, and never brought the water that was ordered. Otherwise the service was not as bad as it usually is here. The food is always just ok. Anything other than appetizers (and even sometimes those) is always overcooked and dry.

    Food wasn't good at all. But our server was nice. The wait was pretty long. This use to be a pretty good place to eat. Not anymore.

Located in the back of the building where you park (free parking & big lot)! They have about one beer of every kind, so limited options but also not limited. :) They ran out of some of the canned beers I'd would've wanted to take home, but I guess that's just how good their beer is!

First time being here and was a little confused when I pulled up into the parking lot, but saw kids running around everywhere and heard music - so followed the noise. The brewery is located inside of a warehouse and we happened to show up on East Brother Beer Companies 9th birthday, which meant TONS of people, loud music, and no seating. With that said I realize that most likely this is not the usual case so giving it 4 stars. They have seating inside and out. Bathrooms pretty clean, a handful of arcade games. My issue was with the beer selection - more on the limited side. We tried a couple samples and were not wowed. The only one that stood out was the Golden IPA. Overall I would not come back due to the beer selection, BUT if you are a fan of IPAs I imagine this is the place for you.

    It's been so long since I've been to Pear Street Bistro, and while in the area recently for a few…read moreevents, I popped in with some friends on two different occasions. Love seeing this spot so lively! Both visits were for apps and sips, but I did notice they added more dishes and variety to the menu for lunch/dinner options. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, and also different rooms within the space pending what your feeling ~ the bar area for drinks/apps, the restaurant space if wanting to truly sit down and have that type of intimate environment too. The Pear Salad has always been my go-to, and happy it's still on the menu. Chopped lettuce, gorgonzola crumbles, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette, and pear slices. I also enjoyed the Cheese Please for sharing, which comes with toast, three different cheeses, dried cranberries, pears, candied walnuts, and olives. Can you sense the pear theme? We were heading to a play at the Pinole Community Playhouse (walkable & across the street), but check out Pear Street's fun happy hours, events, and weekly specials. Plenty of restaurant parking in the back too.

However, during my recent visit, they didn't ask so maybe it changed again? Or is it because of who I was with? If it's the latter then that's a slippery slope. Anyway, happy hour (HH) is decent, but prices are not very happy hour prices. Only like just $1 or $2 off their regular menu. And they charge for bread and butter service now, it used to be complimentary. I love their cobb salad on HH and that is probably the only reason I still come here. I would not choose to come here for their regular menu, very steep prices for mediocre food. It's cool for the neighborhood. I do wish they had some competition to give us more options.
