    Me.

    We had a server named Clint and he was the best! He made our experience very enjoyable. He made sure that we happy with our food and left satisfied. The food was amazing and so was the service. He was very joyful. He made the Applebee's feel like home. We loved the place and the service.

    This is my second time coming here and service has always been great! It's quick and friendly. There are a lot of tvs all around the restaurant so if you're here for a sports event, it won't be difficult to see the screen from any angle! I got a grilled chicken sandwich which was decent but a little bland. There wasn't much flavor to it even though it had bacon, cheese, and onions in it. There was an abundance of onions in the sandwich, a little bit too much. I got ranch dressing on the side but it was salty! There seems to be really good drink deals $1 strawberry margaritas for this month. They also have different deals on certain days so be sure to ask about them! I'll definitely come back to try different foods here!

    Three cheese chicken penne.

    Applebees is one of our favorite restaurants! Our waiter was attentive and our food was exceptional! This Applebees definitely gets a 5 star!

    my girlfriend and her daughter still waiting on their meal.

    I took my girlfriend and her daughter her twice but both times we didn't feel like we were welcomed. We gave this Applebee another chance but it was worst the second time. Waited and waited on our meal but people who came in after we arrived got their meal first. I got a call from this establishment by phone but because of my hearing disability, I never returned the call. I am no longer supporting this place.

I'm going to try and not make this review a comparison between the two. The location isn't the easiest to get to, but parking is ample. It's also connected to a family fun center and a bowling alley. Right across the lot is the city's minor-minor-minor (I don't know the official term) baseball league home. It's all next to an ice rink that is used for sports and recreation. It's a great family-friendly area of Sioux City. Food is the same as the SSC location which is wonderful. They have the BEST burgers in town. I also LOVE their fries. The only thing not making these restaurants my favorites is the ranch dressing. They just use generic, bottled ranch. It's not good. I'd kill if they made actual 'restaurant' ranch. I've literally brought in my own ramekin of ranch when I'm craving a meal I usually eat with it. BUT, the brown gravy and queso are to die for. It would be a part of my last meal. Staff is great. This area has a smaller bar than the SSC area, but the bartenders whip up everything the same. I don't drink, but they're down for their margaritas. This place is kinda like a locally-owned Chilis, but with better food. A great place for even a couple drinks and some poutine.

And it wasn't at peak meal times or during sporting events. Today we were told "they're just packing it up!" And proceeded to wait another 10 minutes. The wings themselves are tiny. I'm not sure if that's something they do for to-go orders or what! Pitiful. Last month we also got an order of nachoes and they were basically plain chips with a scant drizzle of cheese. Definitely won't be back until things get back to normal and we can done in. Oh, and COVID precautions? I'm not sure a social distances dining room matters when there are more than a dozen people crammed into the tiny lobby.

Told her they forgot my sweet tea, she went and got it, it was not sweet or anything that actually tasted like Tea, just nasty. Also being hungry took a Bite of the French Fries that were cold and stale even after coming straight from their kitchen, dog food when I got home. FEATHERS all over the wings some not even plucked, Do yourself a big favor a stay clear of this place. Walmart in the frozen bag wings taste better and more worth the price. Real Sad I gave them a Tip before picking up.

    I'm reviewing this restaurant with bullet statements…read more 1. The service is extremely slow for these reasons: A. Not enough staff B. A constant turn over in staff C. Only two POS for the servers which are together and not centrally located. D. Only one POS at the bar E. The servers take orders from several tables before visiting the one POS. This causes all the servers to stand around the POS waiting their turn. This also bombards the kitchen. 2. The food is just okay. There isn't one item on the menu that I would call their signature dish. If you have a lot of time to kill and don't mind waiting 30-40 minutes for your next beer, or an hour for your food, then maybe this is the place for you. I'm done with this place.

They do a great job with signage on each table to let guests know that, during certain hours, you need to visit the bar to get a drink. Both the beers on tap and cocktails our party ordered were great, and at just the right price point. The atmosphere is, of course, quirky, but it's unique and large and has plenty of room for large parties - plus, TVs! Definitely a bit of a dive but overall it was clean and the staff cared for each guest. NOTE: Children are not allowed in this location, so don't bring them. Unfortunately we didn't know that until we arrived so we had to tell the folks we planned to meet with to meet us elsewhere a little bit later, but we should have done some research in advance.

Like "5 Guys" (which is absolute garbage, and I have no idea how this place stays in business, because I've never seen a single one of these have any customers inside) But I'm digressing, and I'm glad I gave this place a shot! I walked over here, and I walked through the patio dining area, through the patio entrance/exit, not realizing that the main exit was just around the corner of the building but I made it in anyhow. The kid up front was super nice, and asked me where I wanted to sit and I chose the bar, naturally! This place is super clean, even the bathrooms, so that was really nice. A bunch of TVs, and I think I even saw signage for live music on Fridays? But it's a pretty big venue, and they even have their own private dining room for private parties, at least I'm guessing. My bartender, was a spitting image of a woman I know in the town where I live, in the Eastern Sierra mountains. I literally had to double take and triple take to make sure it wasn't her. But unlike the lady I know, this bartender was nothing short of excellent! One star goes for the knowledgeable bartender, and the successful owner knowing that 'extra lime' means WEDGES, not WHEELS. It wasn't too busy in there, but she was really attentive to the bar patrons, and was on top of her game. Everybody sitting at the bar area, were so nice to one another, we were all talking and I ended up meeting this really nice, older gentleman that I chit-chatted with up until he left. I love the fact that the people here are so open and comfortable with one another and can engage in friendly banter. So that being said, my bartender constantly kept an eye on me and never interrupted my conversations when she wanted to offer me another drink or to order supper. She always timed it perfectly right! I'm on a no carb kick, so I ordered the smothered pork chops, with steamed broccoli and asparagus. Man, was it good. Those asparagus were popped down over an open flame and roasted, and even though very simple and basic, some of the best asparagus I've had at a restaurant ever. My whole trip was very enjoyable, and it looks like I'll be here in Sioux City for a few more days at least, so I will probably poke my head in there, this weekend! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS PLACE. I eat all over the country, from fine dining, to little holes in the wall in the deep south. This right here is a sure bet! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.
