Yummy drinks and food always. Sitting at the bar, fastest service. The bartender I usually have, she's the best.

The burgers are good. The onion rings are great. The French onion soup is very good. However, I tried the Caesar salad with Cajun shrimp and it was mediocre. The dressing wasn't rich enough and the shrimp were cold and smaller than pictured. It's local and one of the closest places to where I live so it's good for that purpose. read more

Ordered through Grub Hub. Delivered fairly quickly but item missing Spinach dip. It was listed on order. Phoned to have it credited to card. They claimed they couldn't. Have to call grub hub. Wasn't their fault. They delivered what Applebee's handed them. Frankly rediculous.​ read more

We've eaten 5 times here since Sept. '25. Veteran's Day we had a great meal there. But the other times- Riblets, disappointing. Those teaspoon sized bones? And the $9.99 Burger deal? They ask Pink or well done. They don't know what pink is! And fries colored brown? What's golden fries? Twice the fries rivalled Burger Kings. Golden. Consistency please. read more

Good food, reasonable prices, excellent servers. The staff always makes me feel welcome. read more

We experienced great service here. The waitress was awesome. She appeared to be training a new associate and you could see why. She was friendly and attentive and knew her stuff. Not only was she super friendly to us she was the same with everyone in the section. Giving extra attention to the elderly couples who were out dining as well. The food was prepared as ordered with minimal wait time. One slight mixup with the food however, the waitress caught it before we even did. The restaurant was clean and had ample parking. The service alone is enough reason for me to visit again. read more

We've always have the best food when we go there, they never disappoint us. The service is good as well and we get our food quickly!!

Tabatha C is the worst server hands down! Everything started out fine but she messed up something on our order and after waiting about 5 minutes after the food dropped for her to check on us, we used call server button. 10 minutes later? Still nothing. Had to flag down another server to get ours.... she comes over extremely defensive/loud and says immediately "I wasn't in the back and THATS why I didn't see the call server notification and I'm very busy." so at that point, I just explained that you should check your tables regardless within 10 minutes of the food coming. Mind you it's 3:30 In the afternoon and there was a whopping 8 tables full in the whole restaurant and approximately 2 in her section. Seriously off her meds, bat sh*t crazy! Both Managers handled the situation well. Thank you for your amazing customer service. read more

I had numerous credit card charges and spoke to the manager Ednors or what ever his name was. All he could say was yea it was a credit card issue. They charged me 27 times and all u could say was that how inconvenient how about if I would have gotten over draft fees u didn't care about anything u were like oh we got an email about it this morning no remorse about anything that happened what a shit show read more

Service was terrible. They when they were taking our desserts. They walked away in the middle of us ordering it and if you get an Asian short hair lady, she's the worst out of them all. read more

Dinner out with a friend and landed at Applebee's this week. To start, I was very impressed with their social distancing dining set-up. Half of the tables were removed which provided for the correct distancing. Service was friendly and fast. We only did appetizers, but everything was hot and fresh. Also impressed with the cleaning station set up in a very visible part of the dining area, which was consistently being accessed by staff. They also had what looked to be a very nice set up for outdoor dining. We would have tried that had there not been a prediction of a thunderstorm. I'll try Applebee's in Exeter again ! read more

I love the food prices and the people frezzing cold even with my winter coat on.... Cutting back on comfortable heat???

Alcoholic drinks are watered down & not very good. Went for apps & drinks & was disappointed. Just go somewhere else if you want a alcoholic beverage. read more

Same old, same old. Not bad, not great. It is never either of those. Service is generally good. Food is fine, it just doesn't knock my socks off. I wish the chain restaurants would stop the idiotic practice of sharing servers. One takes my order then another delivers then the original comes back after a while to check on us. Whenever this happens they get the bare minimum tip, since I feel no one excelled at anything. Also, a tip to the manager: whoever is supposedly "cleaning" underneath those little digital ordering terminals on each table is NOT cleaning under them. Maybe the table is clean but the base of the unit is NOT. Yuck!!! All in all, very standard chain restaurant experience, but always better than the Chili's in Pottstown. read more

I have had no luck with Applebee's in the past 20 years. My latest venture in this Applebee's was disappointing like the last time in Lancaster with that round boiled steak. I ordered Wings and Nachos. Wings were crispy and delicious. Nachos were good up until I received by third refill of salsa. Upon dipping my nachos in the salsa I noticed something I almost ate in the salsa. Holy hell it was a two inch piece of cellophane plastic? I could of had some serious digestive issues if I ate that! Even worse I could have choked on it. Needless to say Applebee's is in my shit house of restaurants for at least a year or two until I feel the desire to risk my life choking to death on plastic again. read more

Man what a shame I thought I found a restaurant that actually put out decent food. Until I went to Car side pickup the burgers first time we're not how we ordered them no pink they were rare to medium rare at best, second time they were unedible they were so raw not to mention I had to go inside and get my food. Used to be you could go to places like this and get decent food but I guess people just don't care anymore. I won't be back. read more

A normal Applebee's. Had my mom with us and needed a quick meal after visiting Pennhurst. Everyone was satisfied with the meals, but I wish we had gone into Reading. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

i had really good service I came here for the classic combo and my food was so good. But what really impressed me was our server Jade she was able to serve in a way to make you feel comfortable. She was very attentive and made sure to give us the best dinner. Thank you so much Jade if you ever read this and you have beautiful curly hair. read more

First, one of my friends asked for no tomato and she got tomato. Then, I asked for a mango rainbow lemonade and I made it clear that's what I wanted because we had a whole conversation with the server about it . He came out with a regular one. Was no biggy I just asked for what I ordered and the server proceeded to question me and say that i asked for a regular when I did not. At the end of the night when I got my check I realized that my wings were $5 when wings were 25 cents. He seemed confused when I told him they should be 25 cents. He has worked here for years, I know this. So there isn't a reason for this to happen. read more

I ordered a medium steak the first time it came out well done so they replaced it the second one came out medium well and they didn't even take it off my bill read more

When I arrived at Applebee's the hostess rudely sent us outside without asking for our preference. When we were seated we were not given menus and the waitress took 8 minutes to arrive at our table. We then had to ask another waiter to bring us refills of our drinks. The mild wings were extremely hot and burnt our tongues and lips. Once finished eating we waited another 20 minutes to receive our bill. Very upset with the service. read more

Fast and friendly service, with the service right on with replacing drinks before they were empty. Appetizers were to the table superfast, large quantity of wings and mozzerella sticks. Only issue was slight over cooking of Steak & wings. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - 9 oz. Sirlion from the 2 entrees and appetizer for $20. Choice of 9 oz Sirlion adds another $3 - American Near Me - Reading, Pennsylvania

Our server tonight, Matt with a Superman name tag, was the best server I have ever had. He serviced our table with speed and diligence. He was also happy, upbeat and an amazing conversationalist. I don't typically come to Applebee's very often as I have other preferred restaurants but I will start coming here more often simply because of the service I received from Matt. Tonight was, by far, the best dining experience I have ever had any at price point and it had nothing to do with my food (which was also good and my steak was cooked to my liking which is rare to achieve). Thank you Matt with the Superman name tag for being the amazing server and person that you are! Me, and my party, will be returning very soon. read more

Half apps. Everything else is irrelevant. If you order the wedge salad you need to get the fuck away from me.

I've been here several times and I always get good service and good food. This is a very well managed chain restaurant. My burger was cooked perfectly and very juicy. The bartender/server was very attentive. She even laughed at my husband's bad jokes! read more

This place is a joke. It is mother day I can understand the rush of people coming in today. What I don't understand is how the people ordering for door dash get their food before the people like me who have been sitter here for 2 hours. I couldn't even place and order on door dash because it was cancelled when I tried to place it. What I don't understand is why they tell you your food would be done at a certain time online and you get here and it's no even been made or let alone placed. The servers were getting mad because people are hungry and have kids to feed at home and can't get food anywhere else because everywhere else is closed. Why would they take orders if they can't handle them is what I'm just trying to understand. read more

We came in for apps and all of it was just ok. The steak quesadillas, which were described as sirloin on the menu, tasted more like the meat was chewy hamburger. Severe skimping of sauce on the boneless buffalo wings (ongoing problem.) And the fries were hot for a few minutes. Also, never had to park so far from a restaurant at 10pm. Will return in about 6 months, after I've forgotten how mediocre Applebee's is. read more

Be sure to check your food when getting to go stopped in ordered had a cocktail took my food and left get home and realized the premium side was not missing there was plenty of room in the to go box guess they were too busy since it's a holiday weekend and the bar was empty. read more

Friends and I always go after 9pm for their half-priced appetizers. The food is always good, and comes out in a timely fashion. Service has always been well, and never had an issue with drink refills, extras, getting the bill, etc. We go back regularly and I would recommend to others. read more

Really happy with this place. The appetizer boneless wings were very good with some hot buffalo sauce on the side. Friendly staff. You pick two menu is also a great addition to sample different meals. I also really loved the mini tablets they have at the table so you order, pay, view foods, and even order refills and call your server on it! Had a very good time with my girlfriend and will be definitely going back read more

Pricing and portions don't match. I was served my salad on a full sized plate with literally 3-4 leaves. My shrimp were precooked and tasted like rubber. I ordered the specialty drink a blue Hawaiian Long Island. It was pure water and coloring as well as the persons I was with. read more

Friendly service and quality food from Applebee's, The salads, soup, burgers, and sandwiches are always good.

Been there several times the waitress this time wasn't the best. Food was excellent & I had a Bahama mama drink it was ok. But I don't drink often. My Husband, son & I were celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary. He was the safe driver. Steaks were excellent & the mild wings are the bomb with blue cheese read more

They sat us for approximately 5 minutes and proceeded to move our table because the waiter then needed a "break". Very unprofessional and upsetting, especially considering our one party guest had a fractured foot with a brace. Will not be attending to dine again. read more
