The drinks are really good during a ladies night out during happy hour, but depends on who's working service is awful but sometimes you could have good luck on a meal anyway I'm in between my ratings for Food and Service read more

Applebee's Bourbon Street Mushroom Swiss burger keeps calling to me. Seriously, I've ordered it three times in less than 2 months! It's that good. And this most recent visit, I asked for 2 beef patties! It may very well be my favorite burger (at least outside of Shake Shack). The juicy beef, melty cheese, grilled onions and sautéed mushrooms... yep, totally calling me! And I always ask for onion rings instead of fries and they're always golden, crispy and delicious! And with a side of ranch or bleu cheese for dipping and I'm good to go! read more

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. read more

If I could give them half a star I would. Tonight's service was the absolute worst. Service was the slowest I have seen in the last two months. You know if you sit at the bar you will get the quickest service because the beverage is right there. Our server actually forgot to enter an order that our friends gave her. I knew something was going to happen when she didn't write it down. Then... Their system for paying wasn't available for anyone in the place. Everyone was talking amongst each other talking about how long they were waiting for the check to pay. It took us about 45 minutes to an hour. When the server finally did come, I joked and said well I suppose our meal and drinks are free..it was an absolute horrible night..I think we have gone through these nights too many times. This will probably be our last.. read more

Everything could improve, in answer to the above question. My last three visits here have been an absolute letdown. We have given them their last try. I don't know if it is just this location, but everything about this place majorly sucks. I was inspired to write this review because as I watch Survivor 50, I wonder if I have to travel to Fiji to get food from this restaurant that actually looks appetizing. Our last visit, this past Saturday after throwing our kids a Super Mario Galaxy Movie premier party, we were greeted with rude hostesses, sat across from open booths at a table with uncomfortable chairs, and received nasty looking food that I literally questioned with the waiter when it was brought to our table. My 8 year old was just hungry after a long party so he went for it. My husband and I decided to just get a beer and a shot; even those were bad. How in the world do they make bottled Corona taste differently from all other Corona I've had in my life? It does come to the table already open, so maybe they're pouring it out and replacing it with their own Applebees mix like they have for all of their other drinks. The shots, I mean tablespoons, of tequila were possibly their own liquor mix instead of just plain booze, and they were definitely wanting. I guess it makes sense that the food looks better from another country on one of its islands populated for tv; it's too far to get the food in from one of their actual restaurants, so it's actually made fresh and has nothing to do with what the chain itself produces and serves. read more

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. read more

I would never recommend this place to anyone. The staff is dishonest and thieves. I placed an online order for Carside to go. When I arrived I called the number to let them know I was there and give the space number for them to deliver my food to me. The phone rang but instead of someone answering I was hung up on. I hesitantly went inside, what's the point of carside if I still have to go "inside." When I arrived the hostess didn't greet me instead she was conversing with her coworker and rummaging through her purse. After waiting a few minutes someone else approached and asked if I had a to go order to which I replied yes. Instead of then asking my name and retrieving my food this person said nothing. I then volunteered my name and she went to the back to tell someone to bring it out. Three people at this point were directly in front of me but none retrieved my to go order. Growing increasingly frustrated I was then approached by a male staff member who delivered my food. I said thank you and left as quickly as possible. I made a right out of the immediate parking lot but was still in the vicinity when my headphones disconnected from my phone which let me know I left my phone. 1-2 mins tops. I was literally on the side of the building, I reversed and drove back into the parking lot. Upon entering the building, the hostess who had been rummaging through her phone was at the carside door entrance. I asked her if I left my phone to which she responded "no." I then questioned the remaining staff who began to accumulate as if it were some spectacle. I noticed the young man who had previously delivered my food standing in the doorway, I asked if he'd noticed my phone to which he said "no." I would like to add, my phone had immediately reconnected to my headphones when I re-entered the building and my friend was STILL on the phone. My friend heard someone say "she left her phone" when it originally disconnected and then overheard me questioning if someone had seen my phone when I returned to the building before the call was disconnected by a staff member. It was only after another employee observed the commotion came over to see what was going on and confirmed that I had in fact left my phone and that the manager should have it. At that point the employee who had originally delivered my to go order to me, who had previously told me "no" my phone wasn't left behind, went to retrieve my phone. After searching my wallet to assure everything was there I noticed they had already rummaged through my belongings. I demanded to have the general managers number to which a woman approached and said she was the general manager, I then demanded her card, as well as the number to corporate. I will absolutely be filing a complaint. Imagine the general manager being in the store and the staff still being lying thieves. I am grateful for the ONE honest employee. read more

My boyfriend and I went there for the sake of nostalgia. We didn't have high expectations and knew patience was required but my goodness not a single employee there had any sense of urgency. A 5 minute wait turned into 30 and another 30 to get our food. If you're into Limp mozzarella sticks, mediocre burgers and a trash cocktail set to the sound of very loud late 2000s music. This place is for you. read more

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. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Over-salted, dead broccoli, cool chicken, and dry taters. Ugh! - American Near Me - Pinole, California

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!!!!!! read more

This was the worst restaurant service my family and I ever experienced. First they said we would be seated in 10-15 minutes but it turned out to be 40 minutes and to top it off they seated another group first when it was really our turn just because they said our table wasn't ready yet. It' seemed like they seated them first because that group was the same race as them because they were speaking in their language with the host. Also they brought my food and my kids food out but they forgot about my husband's food and they didn't bring it out till we were almost done. They explained that they were short staff but I don't understand how they were short staffed in the kitchen when it was a Sunday night and they should know it' gets busy during weekends. This place don't even deserve a one star but yelp wont let me post without giving a star. read more

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 .

This place has gone downhill over the last couple of years, I think they're staff needs to be trained more in the bathroom are filthy

We were sat at a table and we waited for 30 minutes no waiter came to ask if we wanted to order anything we didn't even get a water while waiting, everyone who came before my partner and i had their order taken but us, this was our first time coming and will be our last, go else where, the waiters racial profile costumers. No wonder they have a 1.8 rating horrible costumer service, spend your hard earned money else where read more

This place is terrible. The tables are dirty and food is undercooked. Seems they cant be bothered to clean because the table i was given was dirty so i had to wait for it to be cleaned. Once seated i ordered the bacon cheeseburger. It was cold and completely pink in the middle. When I pointed it out the server blew it off and looked annoyed saying "oh sometimes that happens" never coming here again in my life. read more

The following customers were treated the same way.Then the person in front of me waited 45 minutes before getting order.My fiancé order was not correct no mashed potatoes or sauce.just dried chicken and shrimp .wont be going back to that on any more .Was are favorite ‍‍‍‍ read more

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. read more

Unless you are getting appetizers for happy hour I feel like the outcome of every meal here is that it looked better than it tasted. No shade, just tea. Happy hour and the two-for deals can make for a good place to gather in good company but if there's a wait I can't find the heart to say that the wait is worth it. Also if there's a wait that means that staff will likely be stretched thin and they're much friendlier when it's slow. Moral of the story, stick to happy hour when the drinks will make the service bearable and and food probably taste better. Reliable here? The mozzarella sticks and the boneless wings! read more

Horrible experience. The food is good but the restroom is stinky before you get in there. When I entered there was a man houching. ( cook) / spitting in the sink. Yuk! Actually saw him doing it. I'm done read more

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.

Went to Applebees with my daughter today and finally see a manager today going table to table asking if everything was ok. I forgot her name but she was great! Wish all workers were like her! read more

My kids and grandkids had to walk out due to terrible customer service. Specifically asked not to be seated in a certain area due to observed attitude and demeanor or a server. No name tag but hearts tattoos on face. Only for them to be seated serviced by other servers for the young lady with the attitude to bring water dump it all over the table walk away laughing. MANAGEMENT did nothing. So proud my family just walked out. Sad hence why they only carry two stars. I surely hope owner see this. read more

Service can be very slow. Music is usually too loud. Food is good when you finally get it.

We were ignored by staff. There was another couple who were seated around the same time as us. We noticed they got up and left. We waited and waited but we had to leave because nobody ever came to our table. And this was not a busy night. The section we were seated in was empty. Also, when we first walked in we noticed it smelled like rotten eggs, we should have walked out right then! Seems like this restaurant is on its last legs. read more

The Tacos were ok. The burger was too dry and it took very long to cook. The dessert was too sweet. They're probably short-staffed. The restaurant is very dirty and messy. It smelled very bad. We don't think we'll come back. read more

I can't even tell you how many years I've loved this Applebees in Pinole! Well that changed yesterday on my Daughters HS graduation. First time back in Years, but we went in with a party of 7 around 1230pm and the service was a struggle! My sister ordered the endless ( ribs shrimp and tenders w fries). She received the entire meal only 3 ribs/fries! We tried to get our waitress attn a few times, good grief it was hard in an almost empty place. She literally was avoiding the table. When we finally did request the "second" plate ( they literally bring you 1 at a time ) it never came. At that point, everyone was pretty much finishing up so she requested the Mgr. which was nice and said she'd put in the order. My sister asked for it to go instead because waiting over 20 min for an endless meal which she didn't even receive a 3rd of it was ridiculous and we already paid on the machine. My ribs were hard with entirely too much bbq sauce, my daughter's fish & chips were soggy (not sure why) and yea we're done here after many years. Our waitress never thanked us, barely came to the table and it just wasn't giving Celebration! They need to close and open up a good Restaurant because that location is popular. read more

I terrible service and that the manager was no help. And that you won't be going back to that particular location and you don't recommend it. read more

We had to switch our meal a few times because it was either undercooked,burned,or cold the only thing tasty were the drinks , tacos were ok the only thing that wasn't bad food wise was the bread. My auntie and the waitress did not have the best communication so from that point on the waitress was rude she took my other aunties order but never brought her meal out in the end , they charged us for food we never received it was insane honestly with all of that being said I think we've all decided this apple bees will be one not good to return to! read more

Trying to get a table and the Waiter said 5 minutes, manager looked at us and didnt seat us for 20+ minutes with plenty of seats available.

Applebee's is terrible. Went in for dinner and was completely ignored by the entire staff. All the employees were just standing around, glued to their cellphones, while we sat there waiting. After ten minutes of being completely disregarded, we walked out. It's clear no one cares about service here. Won't be coming back, and honestly, they need to replace the entire staff if they want to stay in business read more

First of all we had to wait in front no one acknowledged us for 15 to 20 mins. I had to go get someone to sit us. Second once we got there seated took a while to get a waitress. She was nice we got food before we got silverware. So we couldn't eat until the server brought back silverware. It took a while to get food. When the food came food was subpar. I haven't been there in years. Now I came today and seen why it has been a while. I will never come back. I was very dissatisfied. Only person that was helpful and kept checking on us was out waitress Dulce. She was very nice and apologized for what happened. The only good thing about the day. I will not be recommending this place ever again. read more

I haven't been to an Applebee's in while and I have to say it hasn't changed. I always liked that it has it own private parking lot so you're not driving around looking for parking when you're hungry :). There's nothing dance about Applebees come as you are, you know casual, comfortable but not in your PJ's haha. They serve the typical pasta, burger, chicken and other grilled items. And of course they have fun drinks and draft beers. The food was ok. We had a party of ten so we ordered a few appetizers. By the time my food came I was sort of full. Food took long and it was serve warm not hot. Ambiance was bleh...it does have a bar vibe like the advertisement but they need some renovation or maybe an upgrade here and there. Service was slow girl Maria seemed like she was in a rush all the time. She didn't smile. She got the job done but can do better. Thanks Applebee's. read more

Went to Applebees with the family and ordered the all you can eat wings. This Applebees has never been associated with quick service. However, this time was just ridiculous. It took what felt like 30 minutes just to get the first order of wings. Once it was out we ordered the second order right away and that was another 30 minutes. The first order of wings were dry as if they had been sitting around under a heat lamp and the sauce dried. The subsequent orders weren't much better. It's not really all you can eat if they take an hour to give you two servings. Will try not to go back. read more

So my sons wanted to come in for the All You Can Eat Boneless Wings, Riblets & Shrimp Served with unlimited fries we get in about 8:30 pm and were seated pretty quickly. My sons and husband ordered the all you can eat. The drinks came out pretty quickly however it took about 45 minutes to get their food. My food came out a little sooner. I noticed the table next to us where some of the people had ordered the all you can eat had extremely slow service as well. The people that ordered other food got theirs sooner. When they asked for the next round of food that took a long time too and came as a smaller portion on a small plate. If you are planning on ordering this plan to be here for a while because they will take their time giving you food probably in hopes you don't eat too much. My cocktail was ok it was pretty but the liquor was lacking. read more

I had a terrible experience at Pinole Applebee's last night. We were a party of 2 and entered following another party of 2 who were quickly seated. We waited and were told by a waiter that we would be seated shortly. Then a party of 4 came in after us. When the hostess returned she asked their name. They quickly said that our group was there first. The hostess then looked at me and said flatly that she knew we were there first. I smiled and said ok. After about a minute I asked if we could sit at any of the many empty tables and booths that were available. She told me to wait and went to talk with two other staff for a few minutes. She returned with a nasty look on her face and led us to a booth.I thanked her and smiled. While we were walking to the booth, she continued to stare at me with a glaring face. I smiled and followed. When we go to the booth and sat down she continued to shoot me dirty looks. Fearing that she would tamper with our food we left. Had she broken the tension with a smile or at least not stared at me with a snarled lip and menacing eye, we would have stayed.It would be great to train your staff in customer service and the power of smile and a kind attitude. read more
