    Decided to hit up happy hour after a movie. I haven't been to Applebee's in YEARS. I learned many things changed since the last time I've been here. Not all apps are happy hour and they only had 805 in a bottle. Oh well. Decided to share the sampler, extra order of wings and an order of wonton tacos with the friends as it turned out to be cheaper than happy hour deals. The food was okay.... It's Applebee's. Our waitress... I think her name was Mary was PHENOMENAL.

    Listen here, you have give credit where credit is due. We have had a bad experience at Applebees in Turlock. We came in and from the young man who greeted us by Anthony to Ethan ask if we wanted to switch to a booth instead of the table were great. Then our waitress, Erica. Made it like we were in a 5 star place. Her service was great!!!! I will be back and I will be asking for her again.

    After a moratorium of many years from eating at Applebee's due to poor service and mediocre food, I decided to give them another try. Fast forward several years later and a different location, and it has made a world of difference. The decor here is definitely very dated so don't expect much as far as ambiance goes. The restaurant was pretty full when I arrived, but I was seated fairly quickly. This place is loud. The cacophony of TV's playing sports throughout the restaurant and patrons conversing loudly is a common theme here. If you are coming here for a quiet dinner, you have come to the wrong place. It is well suited for families and large groups. Service here has been very good. A far cry from what I experienced before my moratorium on Applebee's. I can even say that some servers are excellent and consistently so. Madelaine, Julie, and Paul have always treated me, my friends, and family very well. Management has been very friendly too. The food here is actually pretty good. Many times it can be excellent. Pricing is very reasonable too if you get their "2 For" specials on the back of the menu. They also have lunch specials served until 4 pm. My biggest complaint, many times the dishes are not served hot. I often order the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and it is almost always served lukewarm at best. I simply have them reheat it and I am OK. It should have been served hot from the get go though. They can also be a bit skimpy with the Alfredo sauce. Ask for more if needed. If you are into desserts, I highly recommend the Cinnabon Mini Swirls. Warm, delicious, and served with a generous helping of cinnamon, sugar, and cream cheese frosting. It comes with caramel too, but I forego the caramel as the Cinnabon's are already sweet enough for me. These are addicting to say they least. Don't say I didn't warn you. One thing to note to make your experience here as good as it can be. They will accommodate almost any change they can to prepare your food to your liking. If there is something listed that you don't like on a dish, let them know up front. They will go out of their way to make sure you are happy with your food. They accommodate my friend who is very picky. She loves that they do not look down upon her for making special requests. After all, customer service and good food is what keeps people coming back.

    It's the Applebee's menu. So no big surprises. We usually don't have to wait too long for a table. That's been a plus but the food hasn't knocked our socks off. I think you just understand that with chain restaurants. You know what your looking for. It's clean and the service is ok. Our waiter didn't know we had been seated in his section and it took forever for someone to take the order. He was apology.

Pool tables, darts, TVs on, people hanging out... it feels like a spot that's been doing its thing for a while. About 50 people in the room when I was there, and it sat in that perfect middle--alive, but not chaotic. What stood out to me was the flow of the night. KJs Angie and Scotty ("The 2 Hotties") run a smooth rotation. No weird gaps, no rushing people, no favoritism vibes--just steady, fair, and easy to work with. That matters more than people think. It keeps the whole room relaxed, and you can feel it. Amy behind the bar was on it all night. Friendly, quick, and consistent even when things picked up. Drinks came out right, no attitude, just good energy. That kind of presence anchors a place. From a singer's standpoint, this is a good room: * Sound is workable * Crowd is open * You've got space to actually perform, not fight for attention It's not a "look at me" kind of bar--it's a "be yourself and let it land" kind of place. I came in new, no expectations, and left feeling like I could come back and build something here. That's always a good sign. I'll be back.

Inside room is ok, a bit cold feeling with concrete counters, floors, etc. There were several groups at the bar, 3-4 guys on one end, 2 guys at the other, so I sat in the middle. The first red flag was the female bartender, who was dressed in sweats and a ball cap, like she had just rolled out of bed. Very unprofessional, even for a beer/pub. She seemed disinterested in serving me and was more concerned about talking with the 4 guys. Then another guy & girl joined that group. They all knew one another, obviously regulars. The beer list was decent and well-balanced. 4 IPAs, a couple of Pils/Lager and Stout/Porters, Hazy IPAs, Cider/Selzer, and 4 grocery store beers: Coors Light, Modelo, Bud Light, and ? IPAs were from Henhouse, Drakes, Dust Bowl, and ? Large food menu for such a small place. From the bar, you can easily watch the cook on the flattop. After reading the list of sandwiches, I figured the turkey/ham/etc. was the Sysco-type, inexpensive kind, so I opted for a cheeseburger. Burger & fries arrived on a metal sheet pan. The burger looked good, and the fries looked a bit undercooked (not golden brown). Bun was toasted on the flattop and had a bit of mayo, no mustard, ketchup, etc. Fries came with a small 1oz thimble of ranch. As I suspected, the fries were undercooked. I cut the burger in half, and the center was undercooked. Then I noticed the burger patty was actually two thin patties pressed together. WTF? First bite was a warning- the meat had no seasoning and tasted like cardboard. Thankfully, I got a second beer and washed down the burger. Only ate half of the burger. I'm guessing they sell a lot of booze, because there is no way people are going for the food. I wouldn't be surprised if this place is closed by the end of 2026.

I would give it 5 stars for the friendly service! But I had to knock off 2 stars because what I ordered was not very good. I ordered the Thai tacos and they offered a low-carb version on a bed of lettuce instead of tortillas. The presentation was nice and I know they really tried, but it was pretty bad. The sauce tasted more like ketchup and did not taste like a Thai sauce at all. It was supposed to have chopped peanuts in it but it hardly had any. The chopped chicken pieces were drowned out by the ketchup tasting sauce. I thought there would be more avocado on it but there was only a tiny piece on each taco and they chose a bad avocado because the avocado was turning brown with stringy fiber in it. I couldn't eat it after a few bites. On the other hand hubby had fish and chips which he liked. The french fries were good. So my dish was a bomb while hubby's was decent and predictable. I would return if I'm in the area because the service is so friendly and nice, but I would not order that again. I would try something more mainstream that's hard to botch up like maybe a hamburger or a sandwich.

From the moment another held the door for us, to the friendly greeting and smile of the young lady who waited on us at the counter to the decor and design inside and out, we immediately loved it. We found what we needed on the simple menu, accommodations from the git go, to even having a knife to cut our burgers in have (we rarely eat the whole thing right away). SOLID experience all around.
