    I had such an amazing experience at Applebee's and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Jolie! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such a warm and friendly welcome at the front door, which immediately set the tone for a great visit. That kind of first impression really matters, and they nailed it. Once we were seated, Jolie took over and made the experience even better. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming the entire time. She answered all of our questions with patience and made sure we felt completely taken care of. Honestly, it felt like she could read my mind l..my drink was always refilled before I even realized I needed it! She stayed on top of everything and made sure we had all the little things that make a big difference such as extra napkins, to-go boxes, anything we needed without us even having to ask. That level of service is rare, and she absolutely went above and beyond. Easily some of the best service I've ever had. On top of that, the manager was also fantastic. She came by right at the beginning and even helped take our order so we could make it in time for happy hour, which was such a thoughtful and proactive touch. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish.. from the front door welcome, to incredible service from Jolie, to a manager who truly cares. I'll definitely be coming back!

    San Dimas, Ca We are in the area for a night and this restaurant is in the plaza where our home for the night is. The place isn't busy when we came so we were seated right away. By the time our server came, we were ready to order. I got the 6 oz steak with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side because they were out of broccoli. While my SO got the Bourbon Street Steak with mashed potatoes as well. My steak is kind of tough on the side even though I asked for medium but it was edible, tasty. My SO's steak is much better - tender and well seasoned. Our server kept on checking on us and refilled our water glasses. Veterans discount is accepted among other things. Parking is free and plenty of it. They have good TV's all around mostly playing sports. They have an affordable menu special that starts from $25.

    What a lively place. This really is San Dimas neighborhood bar. Seemed like everyone from town was here. Good mix of a older and younger crowd not to mention families too. I liked how the bar was in the middle of the place. Plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. I can see this place getting live during big games. Menu has a little something for everyone. The service was great. The server was checking in on our party throughout our stay. Food came out quick. The Tex Mex Shrimp Bowl was good. I think it could use plumper shrimp. The shrimps in the bowl were shrimps. It was a great experience for not having been to Applebees in a long time. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the neighborhood.

    Perfectly packaged

    For a quick meal I prefer going to this Applebee's for takeout over fast food restaurants Just as quick and pretty close to same value Just a lot better quality of food and bigger serving The app is great and there is always parking available for takeout orders. The food will get delivered right to your car so you don't have to get out.

    We've been to the Applebee's in San Dimas many times, but this time I decided to leave a review to support our local business. The happy hour menu is fantastic -- the drinks are incredible, great quality, and very reasonably priced. Their regular menu is solid as well, with plenty of options, and it's definitely family- and kid-friendly. I love the overall vibe here -- people enjoying themselves, gathering with friends and family, and having a good time. It really feels welcoming. The food, the people, and the service all come together to make this a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.

    buffalo boneless wings with ranch = $14.79

    You can hoo hum all you want about Applebee's, but sometimes you just need something a smidge above fast food and this neighborhood grill + bar delivers. First of all, shout out to our waitress Chelsea because she is a real one. Homegirl was so friendly and attentive even though she was waiting on several tables. She recommended the chicken wonton tacos ($10.99) and I could sense that she genuinely liked them which made me like her even more. Service was 10 out of 10. My sister and I shared a medley of things: -boneless wings in buffalo sauce with ranch ($14.79) -chicken wonton tacos ($10.99): sweet Asian chile marinated grilled chicken stuffed into crispy wonton shells topped with signature coleslaw + cilantro -bacon ranch crispy chicken sandwich ($13.99): crispy, hand-breaded chicken breast topped with two strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, ranch, pickles, shredded lettuce on a brioche bun Honestly, everything was mid and that's what I was kind of expecting. The chicken wonton tacos were definitely giving Asian, but the signature slaw tasted very similar to the coleslaw at KFC, so that made for an interesting bite. Could the boneless wings been less bready? Yes, ofc, but again, I didn't mind it. Overall, it was serviceable bar food and is relatively cheap compared to other chain restaurants. For $14.00, you get a pretty substantial chicken sandwich with a side of fries which is a good deal considering that fast food combos can run about the same cost. They consistently run deals where you can get an appetizer + entree at a great value. I came to Applebee's out of sheer convenience and it was everything I expected.

    Chelsea seated us and waited on us as well. She's been our waitress several times and she is always so cheerful, friendly and just wonderful. She had several tables in the section and took great care of every one of them. The food was very good too.

    Greg was excellent. Fast service and good food. I hadn't eaten here in years. The quality of the food is better than it was. They also brought back the pecan blonde desert. That's why came. It's my favorite desert.

    Half rack of ribs, fries, and a side of coleslaw. All good.

    We were pretty pleased at finding such a nice location to watch games and have a decently priced meal. I'd always liked the Applebee's Grill in Alhambra, so had been wanting to give this location nearer to my current home a try. First, the ambiance for a sports bar was nice and cozy. Great lighting. Plenty of space and comfort on a game night. TVs all around for a good view from most tables. I enjoyed the Red Sangria and it was offered on the Happy Hour list! The Queso and warm and crispy Chips were very good. I really loved the Asian Chicken Salad! Tender chicken, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. Price can't be beat for such a huge and quality salad. My company enjoyed the baby back ribs and tasty french fries, as well as them carrying Blue Moon. We both loved the coleslaw! We will definitely be back, particularly to watch games!

Our server took over 10 minutes just to greet us, and the wait for our food was even worse. Charging $15.95 for a BLTA and then charging extra for tomato is already ridiculous -- only for them to come back another 10 minutes later to tell me they were out of multiple items anyway. Once the food finally arrived, the server never checked on us again. We had to flag someone down ourselves just to get the check. I didn't catch her name because she barely introduced herself in the first place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place on a Saturday afternoon. The service was awful, the staff seemed uninterested, and the food definitely wasn't worth the price.

Gen has that rare gift of being everywhere at once: your glass never empties, but somehow she also has time to crack a joke, swap a story, and make you feel like you're the only person in the room.

Smooth, attentive, and utterly unflappable, she manages the chaos of a busy bar with the calm of a Zen master and the charm of your funniest friend.

There is nothing special or significant about this bar. The reason I gave 1 star was the bathroom. I kid you not, there was a fucking hole in the woman's bathroom window!

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.
