I met my friend Bernice for lunch yesterday. This was the first time we've visited that it's the Applebee's and IHOP combo. William was our fantastic server. Bernice had unsweet tea while I had regular coffee. We both had the Quick 2 breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hash brown, and toast. i had my eggs over easy while Bernice had her eggs scrambled. Everything was delicious! Not sure why the reviews were not good. We had a delightful time visiting with each other and enjoyed great food and service. read more

The steak was ok but could use some steak seasonings, it had a sweet taste to it and the garlic mash potatoes were had no garlic at all it was plain with onions bits in it! Between Applebees and chillies, chilies steak bits are awesome and state really good and their garlic mash potatoes really are just that!!! I prefer chillies over Applebees with a steak dinner!!! read more

Omg looooove the new ihop/applebees combos. This one had just reopened when I went. Their waiting area was packed and we had to wait a bit to get seated. Food was good and loved that everyone in our party got to eat a good breakfast or lunch/dinner options. read more

If I could give a negative stars I would. We waited over an hour for our food, and after about 45 minutes I asked the waitress how much longer it would be. She told us it would be another 30 minutes, yet shortly after that she suddenly brought the food out. She said it had just been made, but everything was cold. I asked how the food could have been freshly made if it was cold, especially since I had just checked on the wait time, clearly it had already been sitting for a while. I asked to speak with a manager, and no one came for another 15 minutes. When the manager finally arrived, I explained the situation and showed proof of how cold the food was. She didn't respond or offer any explanation she just stayed silent, which made the experience even more frustrating. I understand that restaurants can be understaffed or busy, but most places at least put up a sign or let customers know to expect delays so people can decide whether to stay. The lack of honesty, communication, and basic customer service made this a very disappointing experience. read more

What an awesome time with my family! I haven't been at Applebee's in such a long time. But I was pleased that I went. The food was good. I will definitely consider going back. Especially for those boneless wings and steak, shrimp, broccoli with mash potatoes. It was delicious. The noise volume was perfect! Conversations were not too loud. The service was GREAT!! I wish I would have gotten her name but our server took SUCH GREAT CARE of my family. She also enjoyed the kids that were around the table It was an overall great experience. Thank you Applebees! read more

My daughters and I visited this evening, we were sat down and the server took at least 10 minutes to come to our table. After she came to our table, she took our drink order and it took her another 10 minutes to get the drinks once you returned, we ordered our food and it took 40 minutes to get our food. The restaurant was not busy. Once we were finished, we waited for 15 minutes and she never came back to our table so we stood up and waited by the exit door until a young man approached us and said can I help you and I asked for the server. The server finally came from the back and said oh I'm sorry I was speaking to my manager. Really bad experience. My daughter's ordered breakfast from IHOP and I ordered the chicken breast with mashed potatoes and broccoli which it was cold. This will definitely be the last time we're visiting. read more

The service was horrible food was subpar and I literally paid with patients. We were party of 5 and two of the five plates were brought out first the manager explained that the other three plates weren't put in until the time we received our two plates.they tried to make it right with free dessert and the desert they brought was a joke. I waited 40 minutes and never saw my waitress once I had to flag someone down to get my bill and when we got it it was wrong do not waste your time or money. This was the dessert we got! read more

I ordered a bacon cheddar chicken sandwich. I did not know there was a biigass toothpick in the middle of the sandwich as the incompetent cook failed to leave at least part of it out. So I bit into the sandwich and thus bit the hell out of that damn toothpick. My front teeth were left with a vibrating sensation for several minutes. I asked for the manager and she took her sweet time, finally coming to my table about 10 minutes later! And the best she could do for all my troubles was give me a $2 dollar discount???!! FOH! read more

Don't complain about your food, the general manager will attack you! The food was taking a while, so I asked about it and they said they accidentally gave it to someone else first off, then after waiting another 10 minutes or so I ask again and the manager over heard I guess and comes out not even a foot to my face and tells me they're cooking it, stop asking! Who does that! His name is Joe, and apparently he is the general manager read more

This is an experience I had with Applebee's at 7880 Interstate-35. Worked late a few days and was hungry; everything was closed so decided to go to the closest Applebee's to get a "healthy dinner." Did not disappoint. Server/Bartender Steven V was extremely accommodating, did not mind that I was the last customer before closing snd recommended the appropriate "hearty salad" for me. Attentive service in addition to marvelous hospitality. Amazing strawberry chicken salad; little sour vinaigrette w/ some almond, lettuce and chicken on sweet sauce that savors all the taste buds. Coupled with the bread, and a blue moon draft beer, it surprisingly filled up my stomach to full. Because of the great food and service, will definitely come back again to try more healthy salads. Keep up the good work Steven & Applebee's NE San Antonio! read more

Food was gross, waitress didn't check on us once. We had to hunt her down for the bill just a horrible experience

I came to try their $1 zombie drink. When we sat down the bartender did let us know that they have a limit of 4 of the $1 drinks per customer. The zombie drink was sweet and a great deal. The appetizer combo was a great way to try a little bit of everything. read more

Highly recommended avoiding this place, you won't get service and if you do it'll be after waiting 30 minutes, staff came out from the back and looked flustered and upset at the amount of customers Decided to leave after being sat and never even got to place our drinks, other patrons were upset they couldn't pay there bill because no one was coming to check on them read more

Amazing! The service was perfect. I came with my girlfriend after a long day at work, we got Adriana and from the moment we sat down to the moment we left she went above and beyond! The food was amazing the bacon cheese burger was perfect! The vibes were even better. I will 100% be back to this location. read more

Seems funny giving an Applebees 5 stars, but I had absolutely no complaints. The food came out hot and fast. Everything tasted good. The service was great. We sat near the bar and that must've been the magical spot because our waitress came by regularly to check in on us. We got some of the happy hour appetizers and a good time was had by all! read more

Went in for order-to-go service. Bartender was good. Ordered the Cajun Blackened Salmon and an Asian Chicken Salad with extra dressing in the side. Not real busy at the time. Arrived home to find absolutely no chicken anywhere to be found in the Asian Chicken Salad! $14 for a tossed green salad and no protein. 25 minute trip one-way, so I will do without tonight. If the establishment is going to do to-go orders, they need to be right and complete! read more

If I could give half a star I would. I didn't mind the limited menu, but NOTHING on the menu was gluten free! I ordered a VIRGIN STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI. They charged me $10.99 - it didn't have ALCOHOL. It shouldn't have been $10.99. Also when I ordered it the waiter came back to the table to ask me what comes in a strawberry daiquiri. He didn't even ask the bar tender until the THIRD time! So not only couldn't I get anything to eat I got charged for an alcoholic drink that DIDN'T HAVE ALCOHOL - I'm not even old enough to drink alcohol - hence the term "virgin"! read more

I love the new Applebee's IHOP location. It was very cool to see these two restaurants in one. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was very welcoming and so was the food, everyone checked up on me and my family to see how we were doing and it made the experience so much better thank you Miss Geraldine for this wonderful experience. I will definitely come back and hope to see you. read more

We just left this location. Sat down immediately. Offered an appetizer and 2 entrees. 30 minutes later, still nothing. We finally asked the waiter minutes later, do you know how long it's been since we placed our order? He said I know, it's been 36 minutes. Pretty close, or was like 39 minutes. We still wait. The customer on our left finally got his order. He said it took super long. Finally like at 47 minutes we get the appetizer! We asked for the Manager. We told him how long we have been waiting. We got up and left. I wonder what time we would received the entrees? I told the people close by that just sat down, good luck getting your order in a timely fashion, we just waited at least 47 minutes just to get an appetizer and we are leaving this place. I'm wondering because it's Applebees and IHOP, the customers might have to wait double the time?? We spent our 50 bucks for lunch elsewhere. read more

Had the new pasta with chicken parm,The chicken was huge and juicy!My server Aiyana J was the sweetest ever and the rest of the staff was very nice,bringing refills before I asked for them.The young lady manager with colorful hair was to funny and really made me feel welcome,not sure why this place has such a bad rep.Will be back. read more

I ordered an appetizer and my meal at the same time. Never got the appetizer. I ordered the ribs which came out in less than 5 minutes! I swear they must have been left over from the night before. They were horrible! The only thing enjoyable was the draft beer! read more

When entering the restaurant it was calm and quiet. The lighting was nice. Our server was fantastic. The food was cooked to perfection and very delicious. Our visit was nice and enjoyable especially it being New Year's Day. This location is great as well. I will be coming back. read more

Ordered the Prime rib dip sandwich. The meat was tough as leather and burned around the edges. The "grilled onions" had no color whatsoever. The fries had no seasoning, so I asked for salt and pepper. The shakers were half empty and sticky. I requested sweetener for my tea and I was brought a half full container of sweetener packets. The server was nice. It appears they don't care about the product they are putting out and no pre-shift work is being done for condiments. This visit reminded me why I don't normally do these types of chain restaurants. read more

I'd give this NO stars if I could!! They lock the doors at 11PM when they close at 12AM. There were maybe 4-5 other cars pulling in as well and all faced the same situation. Now, I understand coming to an establishment late but closing an entire hour before is ridiculous considering they have to-go orders as well (which was my plan: order/wait for my to-go while I had a cocktail). I also called to confirm the hours and simply asked if they happened to have a private party or event last night, explaining the locked-door situation, and he said no, there wasn't/shouldn't have been a reason the doors were locked. Then he offered to ask the closing manager for me and the hung up in my face. Thanks for that! read more

Zach was awesome. And was very patient with us. and served us very good A+ to him. Also very funny we really recommend him.

Food needs help drink was poor. Lemonade was weak had no flavor. My fries were cold. I ordered a burger with mustard and thy left it off.

What a great way to have lunch! We ordered from 2 for $24 menu. They do have great value for their food. Drinks were very cold and refills kept coming. I ordered lemonade, to supposedly watch my diet . The service was slow because there weren't many waitresses working so the bar tender was the one taking care of us plus the people seating at the bar. Place was clean and tables were clean as well. read more

I had the all you can eat boneless wings and bottomless fries, I can't complain at all. I had Garlic Parm. Honey, Asian and original Buffalo, all were really good and received plenty of dipping sauce to go with them.

I would go again, thank you Applebee's and I received my military discount of 10%. read more

The folks here are very nice, but my food order pick up tonight was appalling. First off, the app is terrible. I tried to just order nachos with no jalapenos. It's not possible. I finally called and ordered through the automated system. Still no way to keep those jalapenos off of there...You have to call the restaurant and hope that your order is in que. Then you have to hope that the message makes it back to the kitchen. When I arrived at the specified time to pick up, someone finally asks me what my name and order was...it obviously wasn't ready. I waited another 20 minutes for them to make it. Adding insult to injury, this is what came out for 15 bucks (the second picture is how it's supposed to look)..a smattering of unmelted cheese on a bowl of chips, a half empty little bowl of ground beef, a bowl of what is supposed to be queso (I think, but looks more like the loaded baked potato soup), and a tiny guac and sour cream. Save your money and go to Taco Bell. They do a far better job:/ read more

We had pretty low expectations given the 2 star rating, but we were pleasantly surprised with a good lunch. The kid was happy with a pizza and mozzarella sticks (super healthy). I went for an 8 oz steak, mashed potatoes, and garlicky green beans. Everything was good. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. We were there 11:15ish on a Monday for lunch. One table was full and then a few more people wandered in. There was no wait, which was great since Cracker Barrel down the road usually has an hour wait. read more

The server Kota provided us with exceptional service. She offered excellent recommendations and was very attentive. I ordered the salmon plate and four cheese penne and it was pretty good and didn't take long to come out. They had a full bar and good music playing, so it was just a little loud. Very nice experience overall but would came back for the excellent job Kota did alone. read more

The Applebees on 35 near Windsor, is good leaving some room to make it great. Let's start with the good. The staff is very friendly and service oriented. Right now (April 2022), Applebees is featuring their assortment of Pasta Bowls. Each variation is plentiful and filling. I had the Grilled Chicken with Alfredo which I divided and took half home for my lunch during the week. Where there is room for improvement is to update the decor. The interior feels a bit dated. The booths are okay but, offer little support and the tables could use some sprucing up. In general the restaurant is clean, no dust from the light fixtures but, an overall refresh might go a long way. Prices are very affordable and many menu items are included in Applebees Spring prices stretching your dollar further which everyone can appreciate right about now. Hope this helps, come in and enjoy Applebees this week. read more

This Applebees location has always been a good spot for throwing back some tasty appetizers and washing them down with some barley and hops flavored water. The bartender most-likely receives a pre-arrival intelligence report on me, because he always gives me the Texas-sized mug with two handles...one for each of my big paws. My go-to appetizer is simply the boneless wings generously tossed in their Classic Buffalo sauce. However, if you're really hungry, go with the Classic Combo appetizer--boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadilla, and tortilla chips with spinach & artichoke dip. Yes, you'll regret it later, but if you're reading this review right now, I'm certain you're ready for the adventure. Show them some love and visit this Applebee's when you need some good old American comfort food. And If you see a fat bearded guy sitting at the bar holding his beer with two handles, come over and say hello to me! read more

Well, here we sit for almost 15 min Without our waitress stopping by to tell us why everything is taking so long. I don't see why workers expect a tip for a nonexistent service. Anyone out there that thinks I am going to tip you on bad service. Well, get in line for me to put my shoe somewhere. I would skip this place for now. The manager is conducting interviews while his staff is dying. read more

I wish I could give this place NO STARS! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! we waited for a total of 6 minutes with not even a single waiter/host to greet us. It was not busy AT ALL which is why we were confused as to why we couldn't even get a single hello or "welcome to Applebees" Yet there's a sign that reads "Please wait to be seated". No one arrived so we attempted to seat ourselves. That's when we were greeted by a woman with a nasty face and attitude. I then said to her (since she looked at my family and myself angrily) that "We are seating ourselves since no one even acknowledged us" she then replied "Well no one is going to serve you. This area is closed so idk what you want to do. She then walked away from us and we naturally followed her. She proceeded to get menus and place them onto the table (angrily). My family and I then decided that it would be best to leave and go spend our money elsewhere. We came all the way from New York hoping to be greeted with "southern hospitality" instead we weren't greeted at all! We are in San Antonio yet we felt that we were in San Andreas (GTA reference for those of you who don't know) Shame on you Applebees! Train your employees better! Do better! read more

I was so skeptical about coming to this Applebee's because of all the 2 star reviews but it was like 1am and I was hungry. I'm glad I came anyway!
