Showed up with a party of 6. We were seated rather quickly. Alma was attentive, friendly and took care of us the whole time. The blackened salmon meal was amazing. Salmon was moist, broccoli was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes were tasty. Everybody ordered a different meal and was satisfied with the taste and portion size. Would definitely go again. read more

Restrooms aren't hard to clean if they are maintained and routinely cleaned. Disappointed on how dirty the restroom are. No excuse.

My first time in Applebee's was at this place. The menu was slightly different than other places, but very hospitable place, super courteous staff and awesome food... and and and aweeeesome beer And their triple chocolate dessert is just amazing. Go have it, like right now read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Red Bluff, California

See all

Very good service! Food was very good, had the quesadilla burger and was cooked perfect. Highly recommend!

I understand being shorthanded. I was very patient, but they don't look around to see who's not been waited on and I was directly in front of the bartender at a two-top. After 15 minutes and waiting for other customers to be waited on, I finally went to the bar to give my order (iced tea and chicken salad). 10 more minutes to get my tea. 15 more minutes to get my chicken salad! They didn't have to cook anything!! I finally eat after 40 minutes. Surprised I stayed bc I almost left without ordering. It gets better! I had to go BACK to the bar to pay and get a to go box. Gave her $20, went back to my table to pack my leftovers. Never got my change of $1.75. She probably knew I wasn't going to leave a tip. Worst Applebee's I've ever been to. read more

I'm very disappointed in this Applebee's location. The service is very poor and the food is subpar. Our waitress failed to check in but a few times and when she did, failed to provide the correct drink items, as well as a requested refill. The food also arrived after a longer than normal waiting time and was barely warm (location was not busy at the time). The server also rushed us by putting our receipt on the table, while not asking if we wanted additional food or drink items. Overall, it is best to avoid this location if you desire quality food and service. read more

I went there on Thursday June 1st and went to sit at the bar and asked the Bartender if she could clean the bar, and she said why don't you sit across from where I wanted to sit. 80% of the bar was dirty and there was only one person sitting at the bar eating. read more

This is the worst Applebee's I've ever been to. Waited almost 30 minutes and no one came to our table. Waitresses, managers, hostesses looked at us, walked by us about 1/2 dozen times and did not serve us. We eventually decided to go elsewhere. We had to walk up to the bar to order food and something to drink. Finally had to a manager if we could order food. They did not have Diet clear sodas. We decided to go to Del Taco for food, dang read more

Wow, must be new management. We had totally given up on Applebees (Red Bluff). Hadn't been there for at least 6 months. Tried it again on a recommendation. Big difference. Tables weren't worn & sticky. (New Tables) Service was great and food was on point. Steak just slightly over cooked but still very tastey. Bourbon sauce was excellent. Would have give it 5 stars but we had a pesky fly at out table. Never understood why restaurants in So. Cal have few fly problems. The solution is so simple put a ceiling fan just inside the doors. The breeze keeps them out. Work on it Applebees. Get that 5th star. read more

Horrible customer service! Our main dishes came 2 min after our appetizers. The waitress NEVER came to check on how we were doing AT ALL during our meal. My husbands drink was empty sense appetizers. We give her our credit card and she decided to talk to another waitress, I finally went across the restaurant and got it from her.. will not return. read more

CHARLES WAS AMAZING!!!! Amazing food service & staff went out of their way to make sure our meal was amazing. I highlighted recommend getting the 2 for $29 what a steal! The sirloin was soooo flavorful and for the deal you are getting...unbeatable! Brandon & Ashley at the bar were spectacular!!!!! The vibes are incredible & the service is immaculate. Definitely request these amazing servers!!! read more

I arrived around 4 pm on 3/30/2022. Very few people inside. I watched the male bartender ignore us while we waited to be seated. He was not doing anything else at the time. We were finally seated by someone else after several minutes. That person took our drink order for ice tea & water which took a good 15 to 20 minutes. We actually thought they had lost our order. We gave our meal order to a very charming female but after 35 minutes of waiting for 2 bowls with no food in sight we left read more

This location has really dropped the ball on multiple occasions expect a long wait and minimal service. I waited 24 minutes just to be addressed at the door and they will blame short staff but That comes back to lack of management. read more

stopped by Red Bluff Applebees again and had another great experience! Thank you staff for all your amazing service.

I'm in town visiting dog and house sitting ..I'm from Roseville area ..I have enjoyed the restaurant in San Jose ..so I came here to get a late lunch early dinner to go and a cocktail ..Service by the Bartender was great .Shrianni is very personable and the place is clean and everyone is friendly..thank u for a great place to stop and feel good when u leave and food is good too.. read more

Service is the slowest I've ever experienced at any restaurant! Seems to be understaffed and not a manager in sight. The gentleman at the host stand seems to be lost and doesn't offer to help. Just stands there and looks around. I got my bill and it was the incorrect bill took over 10 mins to get another bill that was also incorrect. Asked for to go boxes and also had to waited over 10 mins. If I could give 0 or half a star I would. All we ordered were 3 appetizers luckily we didn't order a full meal or we might have been here for hours! read more

General Manager Larry (Red Bluff, CA) took the call and assisted me with ordering the steak with a $1 for 12 shrimp deal. Online ordering was not working. He made it fun and I am excited about this meal! read more

Friday afternoon around 4,,,only 1 server who did everything,,,,he was great. French dip and fries very salty. Service was great food was ok... . Check your surroundings alot of homeless people outside read more

Staff are nice, good comfortable environment. However, I ordered the Prime rib dipper, and asked for horseradish on the side. She replied they don't have any. I've never been to an eatery that served prime rib but didn't have horseradish. I was aghast! Incredible! Then my drink l m arrived. The bartender said here's your Crown and Pepsi. I said "what did you say" she replied " here's your Crown and coke". I said " but I ordered coke". She said the don't have coke. You mean you have a full bar and you don't serve coke. Like Jack and coke. Nope. The manager did take it off the tab though. Furthermore, three days prior we stopped in for a bite. We stood at the hostess podium for, and I'm not exaggerating here, ten minutes. Not a employee in sight. There were four tables with customers. We eventually just left. read more

No food they are out of food nothing to choose from but good service that's why I'm giving this a 3 star this place sucks don't come here at all! read more

Two stars for the food and drinks being good, but the service was HORRID! Came in around 3:30 PM and the only customers there were seated at the bar. We sat at a tall table in the bar area and waited...and waited..the bartender never came over and even went so far as to load and unload the dishwasher while we sat there. I finally went up to the bartender and asked if we could get a server to our table and pointed to our location. Another 5 minutes pass before a server brings menus and asks if we would like drinks. We ordered 3 Margaritas and asked for water. The server brought ONE glass of water for THREE people! and took our food order (still waiting on those drinks). We watched as the bartender shook and served multiple drinks and served people who came in after us. Finally flagged down our server with a shrug and ask "our drinks?‍" Reply was priceless.. "It looks like our bartender is a bit overwhelmed..I'll go make your drinks" About this time, out comes our food! 3 meals and only one glass of water Drinks FINALLY arrive with the Service Manger apologizing, offering free dessert. By this time mild mannered hubby has lost patience and tell her groveling won't fix it. Sorry RB..we won't be back for awhile. We hope you can get your act together. read more

I've been out looking very hard for a job for several months now and one of the places I applied at was this Applebee's. The staff there is very nice and friendly, and one of the managers there, JD even gave me a date to come in for an interview. So I came in for my interview and was nicely seated by the host that was working that day, and apparently someone else was also scheduled an interview at the exact same time as me, so him and I were both seated there waiting for pur interview and talking to eachother and wishing eachother luck, and the nice host kept coming out and checking up on us while we were waiting and even offered us water, but after waiting for about 45 minutes the host told us, "I don't know what our General Manager is doing, he knows you guys have been out here waiting for your interview and he's just back there doing other stuff. Honestly, we just got this General Manager recently and he's a real asshole, so don't take it personally if you don't get the job", and after an hour of waiting there, Larry (the General Manager) finally came out for our interviews, and when I got my interview, I got to see exactly what the host was saying, Larry was indeed a real asshole, he was very unprofessional and rude the entire time, for example, he kept interrupting me when I was trying to answer some of his questions, and when I told him I worked at the McDonald's across the street he said in a very rude tone, "We're looking for REAL cooks here, not Fast Food cooks". Despite how rude and unprofessional he was, I really need whatever job I can get, so I've been continuing to check back there, and just today Larry told me very rudely, "Don't even waste your time here, we're NOT going to hire you, you're not what we're looking for, there's no point in checking back". I'd like to point out that he's the only problem that I've ever had there, if I never met him and gone through all of this I'd give this place an excellent review, the food is very good and the rest of the staff is very friendly and professional, but the General Manager, Larry is why I'm giving this Applebee's 1 Star. read more

Fast and friendly service at the bar The bartender is friendly and funny. Lunch specials are delicious and filling.

Saturday 830 to 930 PM The hostess is super friendly and appears to do more than a typical hostess. She's a badass. Bartenders are pretty and on point with taking orders/ensuring items are brought out quickly. Whiskey Burger was cooked perfectly! ** People not sitting at the bar were served after us... read more

Ate dinner here while staying at a hotel across the street. Had a Southwest Steak Salad. It basically was a few pieces of steak with a whole lot of lettuce. All for $14. WAY over-priced. Would not recommend eating here. read more

I just had the worst experience getting a take out order! I ordered, they said it would be 30 minutes I went in and they brought me my order forty minutes later and it was all wrong so they took it back and said the manager was sorting it out which she never even can out and talked to me. Then I got the wrong drinks and still not the right burgers! Never will I go back! The staff was so unprofessional! read more

Bourbon burger was dry and no flavor. Onion rings were overcooked and lemon aid was watered down. A little pricey for all that was wrong. Server was good. read more

Waited for about 15 minutes at a table for a waitress before I just got up and left. Got tired of watching the young waitresses flirt on old dirty trucker guys at the bar. But I guess someone needs to pay for the formula. This place is just a run down truck stop with a franchise name on it. If you are just stopping by through town, keep going. read more

We travel with my husbands work and are currently in the red bluff area. We have two babies and frequently do car side to go. We have never had a problem anywhere else besides here. Wrong food, cold food, AND all three times we have done it my husband has had to go inside to get our food atleast 10 min after "pick up" time and everytime it had been ready for who knows how long. After the second time of waiting we decided this must be a "norm" for this certain establishment. Food has been decent every time although we have got wrong food, and cold food we understand mistakes happen. read more

Went to applebee on Sat 6/4/22 the food was great any Ashley our server was the best in today market it hard to find help keep her happy the best read more

After this meal we will never go to another Applebees anywhere. We waited 30+ minutes for disgusting food. Chicken was hard as a rock, broccoli had black spots all over it and the consistency of cotton candy and fries were cold. Plus we ordered and were charged for drinks we never received. And to top it off no staff had masks on to serve food in a pandemic. read more

The waiter accidentally forgot my appetizer. The manager was super cool about taking the appetizer off my receipt and giving it to us for free. He made sure we were good and asking us if we wanted dessert or something free. Pretty cool manager. We got the food fast, waiter and hostess and manager were nice. Definitely coming back again! read more

Horrible service nothing to choose from. Waiter is rude and slow! Screwed our drink up! Probably ordering rotten food! Do to Corona virus Should order a sandwich from Subway!! read more

Tonight I went with some friends to celebrate m friend's birthday...got seated at 4:45 . Took way too long to order drinks and then the birthday guy got his beer with his dinner ! Waitress was horrible, ring through her nose fake eyelashes at least 2" long, nails about an inch if not longer, and chubby !! I wont go back ! I had another bad experience about a year ago and thought I would try again....last time for me ! This was in Red Bluff, CA. Plus the waitress said they were no longer selling dark beer ! Your restaurant is losing patrons, WAKE UP APPLEBEES! Not worth adding nything else, they wont do anything about it read more

Never come here we were waiting 1hour and still fid not have our food they were serving everybody else except us I wish I could deny a review with out any stars read more

I have been to this restaurant far too many times to be able to count!! The service and food is always amazing!! This review is specifically for John David. During our times of covid-19 and sheltering in place it is hard to trust eating out ANYWHERE! This guy went above and beyond serving us carside! He kept his distance and said not allowed to shake hands. We noticed he opened the entrance door of the restaurant with his foot! Bravo! Thank you to people like him keeping us feeling somewhat of a normalcy being able to eat hot wings away from home; but mainly trusting his cleanliness as well! Thanks! read more

This is by the worst place we have eaten, we had Ribs, you could not eat them, the beans were terrible, the broccoli was just as bad, old and way over cooked, the waitress was great, if you want ribs, go somewhere else read more

My experience has been great here for a while now since being fortunate enough to deal with Adrianna B she knows what she is doing and actually seems to care about what she is doing, it's nice to deal with an employee like her, great customer service!! read more

I roll back into town for the night, check into the motel and head across the intersection for dinner. "Hey it's been a while since I've been to Applebee's, it's OK as I remember..." It's been a while since I've been in an Applebee's, so as I'm being taken to my table I'm thinking "Hmm, an older sports bar, eh, whatever." SERVICE: My blonde 18 year old server was perky and bubbly enough. However there was a problem with timing and I don't know if it was because of the kitchen or my server. FOOD: I look over the menu and see... burgers, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, burgers, a few pasta dishes and a couple salads. Very little was appealing to me, but I choose the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad ($11) and a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup ($3). After ordering it took a lot longer than expected for my food to arrive, it seemed like 25 minutes. They arrive and I dig in. The soup was A-OK, hot enough and fine for a tomato soup. The salad was very simple, just romaine, a few croutons and some sliced, grilled chicken and was lightly dressed. This is where the problem occured because I'm guessing it sat in the window, waiting to be picked up for too long, because some of the lettuce had wilted and a soggy salad is never a good thing. OVERALL: Inside the restaurant while clean, looked and felt really dated. My server was nice, but something went wrong somewhere. Food took too long to arrive and my salad was about wilted when it did arrive. Sorry but I've had better, just 2 stars. read more

Plusses Some really good food dishes, crunchy shrimp was delicious; sweet potato fries and steak and onions were the standouts Clean restaurant Plenty of TV's; Nice atmosphere Minuses Poor customer service. Was here 2x and both time waitresses were inattentive. Had a few issues with food items - related to previous note; customer service to rectify situation was not good at all. Prices are somewhat on the high side read more
