Great vibe for Riverview. Our server Cody was really good and took care of us. We were waiting for karaoke on Thursday but it didn't start until 10pm. Overall it was a good night read more

This is by far the worst Apple Bees there's roaches in seating area and literally stuck to my plate. The manager Kat was very rude and unprofessional and the server was trying to fight me read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Roaches in my food - American Near Me - Riverview, Florida

The booth was dirty after waiting 30 minutes. Service was horrible we kept having to ask for items that should of been asked ahead of time

30 to 45 minutes wait, because the hostesses were too busy talking. Just looking around you could count 10+ empty tables. I saw many people leave because of her attitude read more

Very nice server Terry but I wouldn't go back for the food. Not bad food by any means. The fried onions were good and the meatless burger was good. I'd like to see a vegan option besides salad. Table and utensils were clean. Thanks, Terry, for your thoughtful and great service. read more

Been going to Applebees for years. They used to have a nice lunch menu but with Covig they had stopped. We went in hoping for the lunch menu to be back but nothing! We went ahead and ordered our usual non-lunch but today was the last time! Oh, the food isn't bad, but my wife ordered the burger and substituted broccoli for the fries and asked them to put a little cheese on it! She kind of hinted for a white type cheese, but anyway got a sprinkle of just plain old yellow cheese! Ok, still edible, but when we got the bill they had added $3.50 to the bill for the extra cheese! I asked to talk to the manager but he never came out! I DO NOT understand how any restaurant chain can think they can get away with gyping their customers like that! And for a mere 3.50 they've lost a faithful old customer...Just doesn't make sense! read more

A friend and I had lunch here and the Chicken bowl and Shrimp bowl for the special on Thursday were delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and the entrees were so tasty. We were both impressed and will return. read more

A moderately busy time. The cooks really let the server down AND US. We were here last week, and it was great. I ordered the quesadilla burger and my husband got their classic burger. 25 mins later, they arrived. My tortilla was so hard I couldn't chew it. So, I took a bite of the burger. Crazy salty. I thought it was just me so my husband tried it. Not good. He asked the server to send it back. I asked for a reg burger. My husband finished his meal and his beer, and still no burger. 20 mins later we asked to get a to go box and the ticket. The box with burger arrived. No ticket. The server said he would be right back. 15 mins later, we left money to cover the one burger and drinks, and the by now cold to go burger and left. We spent almost an hour and a half on a bad experience. It took 3 minutes to get a MC D's burger on the way home. So much for an evening out. read more

A nice place to hang out with friends. Happy Hour has great 1/2 price appetizer specials. There is usually a monthly drink special like Dollarita. The atmosphere screams "good time" with great music and a relaxed scene. There is usually no more than a 10 minute wait time, if any. The food is decent which is the reason for four stars instead of five. The Wonton tacos are good but I wouldn't pay regular price for them. The Blondie is a good dessert but not worth $8. The drinks are good but the lemonade is too sweet. The servers seemed a little confused about which tables they were assigned, however, we did receive good service. read more

The Monday night burgers where awful. I could not eat it. My children could not eat there burgers. This is the last time I visit this Applebees. read more

Food is always good. Waiters/servers are the best. The bartender will make you a drink with no alcohol. We ordered a "Mudslide" but what we got was a "Sombrero" which excludes the shot of Vodka. When we brought it up to the manager, she was very nice and explained that Apple-bee's made it a new policy and what they did was same money on the main shot of alcohol. The other 2 shots are mild alcohol and a person could drink 10 of these drinks and feel nothing. To me that is like fraud or stealing. If a person orders a mudslide, make the drink as it should be or at least advise that you are making a sombrero instead. We were charged full price and I think this review needed to be put out to the public. read more

I got a 6 oz steak (medium), broccoli, and fries. The steak came well done and was the driest steak I've ever eaten; even steak sauce couldn't save it. The broccoli was unseasoned and the fries were cold and flavorless. Definitely not worth the money. read more

no staff, long waits, food is horrible!!! Place has gone down over the years.Do not recommend!!

Good Applebee's location, salads are always fresh and we love their boneless wings. The burgers and fries are always good too.

Great service and always a fun place to take the family. Food is as expected, not fantastic but not bad. Only reason for 4 stars is the food, but the staff is emaculate. Also, I would love if the game pads came back. Me and my wife used to love playing trivia and would keep us around to buy drinks. read more

Looking for a decent place to eat at 9 pm in FL is not a easy task. We decided on Applebees and boy was I happy with the decision ! I had the Cajun salmon and my husband had a chicken salad - service and food / excellent ! We will be back ! read more

Been going here for years and the waiters are very nice one even remembers our names and order without us telling them love this Applebees deserves more stars read more

first time there, and will never go back again. Food was disgusting. I started to get sick within minutes. The manager on duty could care less. If you're in this area go to PDQ or even McDonald's instead. read more

Our waiter was super nice but when a roach crawled up to join me when dinner was served it was a little to much. Worse part it ruined date night and we left night over. read more

This Applebees had me feeling like I was in a fever dream because of how unapologetically rude everyone was and just trying to get you to leave. When we walked in one of the servers said to the people waiting next to us "I'm gonna be honest with you the kitchen is taking a while" and rolled her eyes. Once we got sat we waited about 10 minutes for our server to come over, he asked the bartender right in front of us if she was taking our table and she made a disgusted face saying no, then he turned around and asked us what we wanted. When we ordered drinks he interrupted before we were done ordering and said rudely "I'm gonna need some ID ladies so if you could please" then he proceeded to mock our drink order. We asked if we could put in our food now and he said in a rude tone "Yeah good idea it's gonna be a while". When we got our food they were out of the cheese for our pretzels and he said "you can take it or not, I don't really care either way." In addition all of the servers had a nasty attitude acting as if you were inconveniencing them by being there. I know you can't expect much from Applebees, but man this was something else. Do not recommend even if you're drunk read more

This place has been here as long as we have lived in Riverview. Consistently good service, food and drinks. We love lounge. It has good access to the bar, TVs and great people watching. The bar area has the right lighting to make it feel cozy. This place is our go to spot when we want to just run out and get away from the house but go to far. read more

It's so unfortunate that you go to a restaurant and find that they have given up on the safety guidelines of social Distancing and the place is packed full of customers with no partition or barriers between tables. But because we had already been seated, we went ahead and ordered. At this point we figured it did not matter. Then it took over 30 minutes to get our food. All we recieved from the waitress was "I'm so sorry it took so long. The food was good. We will not be returning to this Apple's bees until they start taking our safety first over profit. read more

Ordered delivery through Uber eats..chicken sandwich was definitely good but my onion rings were extra small portion. was really looking forward to those!! Either Applebee's was stingy or the Uber driver ate my rings. ‍ read more

this is hands down the worst applebees I've been to. the server had poor customer service. the food came out wrong and cold and we never got our drinks. the best part was the cup of water and that was still nasty. read more

Terrible service. The bartender was super rude and looked annoyed with every drink we ordered. When we told the manager she said "the bartender is pregnant" which as a mom I try to be understanding but at te same time I would never treat someone crappy when they order a drink and are having a good time. Pregnant or not. It was so disappointing. This place is truly the crappiest Applebees I have ever been to. read more

I hate this damn place I waited 30 mins to get a damn brain (SUPER RARE) looking stake when I wanted a medium well. Then I decided to get the new waffle fries and they were horrible! I was really disappointed in you Applebees do better! read more

The food is horrible and the drinks are watered down. What a waste of money. My husband had the salmon and shrimp it was terrible. This dish was not worth no $18.99. The blue Long Island taste like syrup. Was not even offered a glass of water. Tonight was a waste of money...... read more

This location was pretty busy so we sat at the bar inside and had a couple beers, it was buy one get one free day on beers. Which explained why the place was so busy, lol. The service was fast and friendly, and the food here is pretty good. They are always changing their menu, so that keeps lots of fresh and new items to try. All went well and was good during this visit. The half price appetizers during certain hours are a good deal. read more

My all time fav salad, Oriental Chicken Salad, was lunch today and it is as good as ever and the full serving has been restored to a full serving, thank heaven. But the star today was our server, Taz, and the entire staff for not committing the "Guys" sin. Not once, and we interacted with several of the staff. Hallelujah, it made my day! For their stellar performance this Applebee's earns a spot on my "Wait staff all stars" list. read more

Always such great service and wonderful food! It's a great place to come eat at anytime of the week. Even on a Friday night, the most I waited was 30 minutes, and had a wonderful server! read more

Sure nice of the managers taking the time to read this....not! You may want to listen to your customers. Wonder if corporate wants to know. I mean at least come out and tell the customer!!!! So my purpose for this post is not to bash Applebee's but more to hopefully improve them. So after 25 minutes after I was supposed to get my curbside and after no one came to tell me why it was not ready I entered the curbside door. After I was ignored even longer, one of the girls ask if I had been waited on. Once I gave my name she could not locate an order. One of the girls ask if I told them I was driving a white car, which I was not. I requested my tip back and the manager brought it to me and asked me what my problem was. While I was talking to him the girl brought my food but never handed it to me or even told me it was mine. Funny neither did the manager if that is who he really was. I had to ask if it was my food and instead of telling me yes she begun to look through the bag and call out the items. The manager walked away to find out what was going on. I then grabbed the food and left only to realize it was stone cold as if it had been laying around. I guess that's why you are at home and can warm it up. Isn't that why you get it to begin with?Of course no napkins or silverware as requested. Plus no receipt!!! Final comments is I will not go back, as if they care, until there is a change. I suggest the readers do the same!!! I updated my review as the manager took the time to address the issue prior to reading my post. Additionally he gave a full refund. I trust that he also took the steps to ensure the staff follows the proper procedure to put the customer first. Thanks!! read more

Super disappointed this last visit. Drinks not refilled often table not clean and food not great. We both ordered the appetizer sampler with choice of 2 items. The servings were pretty small but I guess okay for appetizers. The problem was the food had little to no taste at all. Really no seasoning on anything and food looked like it was thrown together. Have always had good meals here so will chock this up to a bad night. We will see that next visit is like and decide on future patronage to Applebee's.... read more

Great hosts, servers and food is amazing. Highly recommend Wonton Taco as an appetizer. Management is helpful. Tip well!!

Worse service ever we did receive drinks but we finished the drinks with menus in front of us and was never asked if we wanted to order food all servers and bartenders were talking the bartender in front of us even said she was bored I said to bored to take our order still never came to us so we left will never be back to this location read more

Called at 7:45, told there was no wait. Arrived at 8 o clock - there was a 20 minute wait and the hostess was super rude. Said "they don't ask us sometimes so I don't know why they told you that" yet I heard the person on the phone ask the hostess stand who said "no wait." Very frustrating. read more

Had an amazing dinner had Greg as our server :) he had so many tables that were full of 6 or more and he was always on top of everything. Refilling our drinks and making sure we were satisfied with dinner. Would definitely recommend. AWESOME job Greg. Would for sure come back read more

Drink Specials Aren't! This has been a consistent problem watering down the drinks to the point Margaritas Specials aren't even good weak lemonade! Two for $20... Let's have $10 Macaroni & Cheese! OR Some other Rip-Off! BBQ Spare Ribs are the Ribs with little meat that's boiled with cheap BBQ sauce. [The Ribs hadn't seen a Grill or BBQ.] Want me to go on... The Service isn't! The last time, the Waitress(?) when we ordered the Margaritas Special served us premium Margaritas. Then when we commented how good they were, it was pointed out that they weren't the "Specials". (Apparently, it was to increase the check so she would get a bigger tip.) The so-called Manager had to be hunted down. [Over 45 Min.] to correct [the pervasive] problem that occurred at several tables. read more

Really can't go wrong with Applebee's. They also have fresh new menu options but they still always offer the classic hits. Great prices and delicious food. I ordered the bourbon steak and it was cooked to perfection. Food came out very fast and service was food. And 2 for 1 specials to add to the enjoyment. And the newest thing I love here, is they incorporated the new electronic Presto system. This thing is great. You can order drink refills and appetizers right from your table. As soon as we finished our last bite i swiped the credit card on the presto machine, added a tip, and then we were out of there just like that. No more waiting for your check, waiting for them them return with the credit slip. It really is a great innovation in today's day and age read more
