    Steak & garlic mashed potatoes
    Georgiana C.

    Casual place to eat. I've been in a few times mid-week with family, not too busy and well staffed. The food is consistent and good value.

    Applebees should give some credit for being one of the few restaurants that offers decent but affordable entrees. Take advantage of the happy hour because it is worth it. Gives that sports bar vibe during game season Order the loaded waffle fries and mozzarella sticks while gf order the wings. Loaded waffle fries and mozzarella sticks are crispy and not too greasy. Wings were decent and the bbq sauce is not bad. Praise the waitress as the only server as it felt empty due to negative reviews Recommend on giving this a try during their happy hours

    Been here a few times for Happy Hour and Lui and Dominic both have provided amazing and attentive service with great attitudes! Applebee's really has the best deals, especially on drinks. They have different price points for your drinks and appetizers. I'm not sure if this is at all locations, but I really like that happy hour can be enjoyed in any area, not just the bar. I enjoyed the sampler and got pretzels, boneless wings and waffle fries. The beer cheese is extremely salty for the pretzels so that's a bit disappointing. Overall, I will absolutely continue coming to this location and really enjoy a reasonable happy hour in these trying and difficult times. It makes life feel a bit lighter to know you can still go out, have some good munchies, a few drinks and not pay exorbitant prices. I look forward to going back soon!

    Dominic did a great job with the order and was very attentive. Applebeers is still a solid place for Happy Hour!

    I was pleasantly surprised with how great everything was. I did accidentally miss the parking lot so I kind of went in a circle. lol It's immediately to the right, after the freeway. They have a good size parking lot so that's always nice. Right off the freeway so that's great. It's a decent size restaurant, they even have a sit down bar so that's cool. The restrooms were clean. And they're two for $25 deal Their Caesar salad was really good. We ordered the blackened shrimp, and the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp. The mashed potatoes were so good I could order a side to go, but I was so full. I wasn't even able to eat dessert. The food tasted really good. I'm definitely coming back And their margaritas are really good as well. We got there at a good time, right after we arrived It got pretty busy. They were a little short staffed for a Tuesday, but it was a Tuesday and it was late so it was understandable. Every staff was super nice and helpful. They were really pleasant to talk to. They made me feel good about being there. I have nothing even slightly bad to say I was really satisfied with my meal, and I love feeling happy and full.

    Food and service was terrific. Good place to unwind after a our all day event at the Riverside Convention Center. We refereed the Pan American Adaptive Judo Championships. The management at this Applebee's location really rolled out the red carpet to us. It was greatly appreciated!

    You're better off going to chilis- Food was disgusting Chicken was burnt on chicken sandwich - got a replacement that was even more disgusting 0/10 Service was good - server was very attentive but overall service from the restaurant was slow Took an hour to get seated and food took even longer To wait that long for a disgusting charred burger is unacceptable Lots of seating space- there will be even more if they keep slacking Overall rating 2/10 Being real honest when I say you can go literally anywhere else to get better food and drinks MCDONALDS IS BETTER Anyways don't come here

    Sadly, Applebees isn't what it used to be anymore. The area isn't the best, especially at night for dinner. The service is great but the even the food has gone downhill. The steaks we ordered were just okay and everything is definitely pricier.

    Stopped by Heros in Riverside and had a really good experience! I ordered a burger with candied…read morebacon, onion rings, lettuce and tomatoes, it was so delicious!!!! The burger was medium, juicy, cooked just right and packed with flavor. The onion rings were super crispy on the outside and had the perfect crunch. However, I prefer the fries. The fries are crispy, meaty and super delicious. Portions are big! The Watermelon lemonade was fresh and refreshing. The glass it comes in is really really really big! So have your thirst ready! The atmosphere was fun and laidback. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. Over all a solid spot if your looking for good comfort food, big menu and a chill place to eat.

Unfortunately, our experience with the two female servers was disappointing. They came across as rude and made it feel like our large group was an inconvenience. We were passed by multiple times without being helped, and when we finally asked another server to get someone to take our order, he kindly stepped in and helped us himself. He had a great attitude and was very accommodating, which we really appreciated. When our food was brought out, one of the servers had an attitude when we asked a few questions, which added to the negative experience. I wish I had gotten their names. On a positive note, the bartender when we first arrived the gentleman with the long hair was very friendly and helpful. He assisted us quickly while we waited for our table, and that first impression was great. Overall, while the food and some staff were excellent, the service from the two servers on the patio took away from the experience.

    I've eaten here many times, and the food is usually quite good…read more On my last visit, I ordered the chicken pot stickers from the happy hour menu, and they were not that great. I was offered a choice of fried or pan-fried. I assumed that fried meant deep fried, so I picked that. The dumplings I was served were pan-fried. The filling was an under-seasoned ground chicken with a bit of a pasty texture. The slaw served with the potstickers was tasty, but the dipping sauce was incredibly salty. I would not order this dish again. I also ordered a personal BJ's Favorite pizza, and that was really good! The only real downside of this location is that the people at the hostess station are kind of unwelcoming. There is often a group of people at the station who are more interested in chatting with each other than greeting a customer. The main hostess during the day acts like you're annoying her with your request for a table, even though the restaurant isn't that busy. The waitstaff seems to get overwhelmed when it does get busy, so you often have to flag someone down if you need something. Despite the staff problems, I still like BJ's and will return.
