My best friend and I meet up at Applebees once a month to have a couple drinks and catch up on life. This time though was my birthday get-together and since he was paying, I wanted to take advantage and run up the bill. LoL. He didn't mind. I had a couple Bahama Mama drinks but can't say I felt the effect of the liquor. To be honest, I was full just eating the triple platter appetizer....but I couldn't let him off the hook that easy. Besides, every year for three months I have to hear how I'm one year older than him until his birthday comes around in September when we are the same age again. The chicken quesadilla, riblets, and wonton tacos (triple platter appetizer) was filling and ordered my traditional chicken wings (bone in). I usually ask for all flats - but forgot today. He ordered the 3 for me combo which is always a good value. After over-eating, they gave me a complimentary ice cream and brownie for my birthday and couldn't turn it down. I asked them to charge my buddy for the dessert (just to pad the bill for him to pay) but it was a nice birthday freebie. One thing about Applebees is the bartenders are always pretty cool. We look forward to getting together and catching up each month at Applebees. read more

We came here to use a gift card and decided to try their 2 for $25 deal. As our appetizer, we shared the mozzarella sticks included with the promotion, but we also ordered some onion rings because we love onion rings. My fiancé ordered the Whiskey Bacon Burger, and I ordered their new O-M-Cheese Burger, which is a simple cheeseburger and fries served on a hot skillet of queso. I'm a cheese lover, so I was excited to give it a try, but the burger itself was a little too simple for my taste. I think it would have been more enjoyable with additional sauce or toppings. Our server was very nice and attentive, which was great. One pet peeve of mine when visiting any restaurant is sticky or dirty menus. Unfortunately, the menus felt grimy, and that's not the best way to start a meal. I always carry hand sanitizer, so it wasn't a huge issue, but I worked at an Applebee's years ago and remember that wiping down the menus was a standard part of keeping things clean and presentable. Overall, the service was good, the food was decent, and the value of the 2 for $25 deal was hard to beat. read more

Akayla was amazing! This was literally the best applebees ive ever been to! So clean and service was amazing. It was such a busy sunday but they kept up with everything. So impressed! I had sworn off applesbees due to my local one but this one really changed my mind. Will definitely be back. read more

Excited to try the apps for half off during happy hour! Wonton tacos were a bit underwhelming, pickle fries were ok, mozzarella sticks were good but didn't have a cheese pull, and artichoke dip was great. Drinks were so cute! read more

I hate giving bad reviews when the service was amazing. To preface, our waitress was 5/5. She was the bartender AND our server (we sat in the bar). Super friendly and funny. But the food was not great. I ordered the salmon meal. Maybe I shouldn't have. But I did. Very chewy. Not good flavors. I didn't even take it home. I had two bites and left the rest. They were also out of broccoli. Clean restaurant. Good drinks. But probably won't be coming back. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Blackened Cajun Salmon - American Near Me - Stockton, California

Well, I wanted to try a nice place to eat, but apparently I guess the cooks were off that day they weren't focused on cooking the right orders. I ordered a medium steak and got it well done very bad. My wife got a medium steak. Hers was nice. Then asked for a refill on the iced tea and we didn't get it until we finish paying and then the waiter shows up with a fresh iced tea. Wow how sad is that? We will go again to try it out and give them a second chance. Hopefully, it's much better. read more

Great service and good food. I come here once a week and pick up my regular buffalo wings. Always on point. Thank you guys!

We stopped here around 3:30 for a quick bite to eat. We were not greeted at the door but there was someone there she just looked at us and didn't say anything we informed her we would be sitting in the bar area. We sat down and still were not greeted. There was 2 bartenders behind the bar who made eye contact and they still did not greet us! They stood there talking and laughing with the people at the bar who appeared to be regulars. 2 employees walked by our table. One was carrying drinks and one just walked by neither one of them greeted us or even looked at us! It was almost 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. The waitress brought us menus and we asked for waters. When we ordered we were specific with our drink order (they were their special drink from the advertising on the table. We were so specific that we literally showed her the advertisement and said we will take 2 of these) and when a gentleman brought our drinks out they were wrong! It took about 20 minutes to get our food (it was 3 appetizers) and you could tell they were literally just warmed up. The apps were good but definitely shouldn't have taken that long for them to come out when the restaurant was basically empty. We immediately asked for boxes and the waitress insisted she bring them out when we were ready to go. We insisted we wanted them immediately. She appeared confused and brought them out. We ate a few bites and drank our drinks we paid and left. We will definitely NOT be back! The food was good but when the service is mediocre or horrible the food is the only thing to save it and that was not worth saving! Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

Went to try the new burger and was disappointed. Most of the cheese was not even melted, but the burger still tasted decent. The service was not great, the hostess never greeted us and we were seated after another group came in after us. The waitress we had was pretty nice and pleasant. Over all this place is dying and I would be surprised if the place ends up going under. Do better guys!!! read more

Dined in 7/24/26, service wasn't great at all, it was beyond freezing in there and to top it off, I found a piece of hair in my food when they brought it to the table. I brought it to the managers attention, she only took $15 off the bill. She did offer to "remake" my meal but I know better.. I'm more than sure all they would do is take the hair out and bring me back the same dish. Needless to say, I will never go back. read more

We hadn't been to Applebee's in quite a while, and on our way home we decided to stop by this location and give it a try. Upon arrival, the hostesses greeted us warmly and seated us right away. Since it was a Saturday night and the Dodgers were playing, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were seated. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. Our server came by to take drink orders. Our teenager asked for a Dr Pepper, and the server responded, "We don't have Dr Pepper, and that's why we give you a menu to read before I get here so you know what we have." The tone was extremely rude. Our son's friend ended up ordering a lemonade, not because he wanted one, but because he knew it was on the menu and didn't want to deal with the server's attitude. We immediately asked to speak with the manager. After about 10 minutes with no response, we asked the hostess again. This time, she gave us attitude before going to get him. Another 10 minutes passed, and when we followed up again, we were told, "He's in the kitchen. He'll be out when he can." At that point, I politely but firmly asked that she request the manager come out, or I would go into the kitchen myself to speak with him. Only then did someone finally notify the manager. While waiting, one hostess told us we needed to move because the server needed the table, and if we wanted another server, we would have to switch sections. At that point I refused. We weren't moving, and we needed a different server. When the manager finally came out, he was completely dismissive and acted as though none of our concerns mattered. We were preparing to leave when we noticed a couple requesting to speak with him about the same server. I sat back down to see how he handled it. The manager rushed over with two beers for them, switched their server immediately, and treated them as if they were the problem instead of addressing his staff's behavior. Overall: horrible service, unprofessional staff, and a manager who clearly doesn't care. If I could give this place -5 stars, I would. read more

Applebees never disappoints. Great food. Affordable. Great bar. The cute bartender Mariana was super nice. The manager was running around making sure all the customers were taken care of since they were busy. read more

Very upset! I go to Applebee's at least twice a month. More so the Lodi location. My best friend got me out of the house after a mental breakdown from being a mom of twins on the spectrum, so after a walk at the nature trail and couple glasses of wine we decided to stop at applebees for a quick bite and to finish watching my Padres game. We were seated fast as it was pretty slow and ordered us a burger combo to share as we weren't that hungry!! The discomfort of the way the waitress, with red curly hair, made me feel so uncomfortable just urked me! As if my best friend and I was gonna dine and dash off a $13 tab! Never in my life would or ever had! She just kept looking, not even asking if were ok and than another worker keeps walking by. Mind you im there finishing the last 2 innings and she's all are you paying cash or card I said card and shes all you can pay here I said i know I can. The fact that we were not causing any rucus at all!! I spend undreds there a month and first time ever and I mean ever have I felt discriminated against!!! Over that Applebee's!!! Educate your employees on their faces they make at people!! read more

Just had a pretty decent experience at the Applebee's in Stockton, California. The service was quick, which was nice, but for some reason, they weren't letting anyone sit in the bar area. All the food came out at once, and the quesadilla was spot on--crispy just like I wanted. However, the buffalo wings were way too salty. We went during happy hour, and while their drinks are top-notch, I wish they'd add more food options to the happy hour menu. It's pretty limited. I've been to this happy hour quite a few times and used to visit this Applebee's often. The service was good, no complaints there. It was our last resort location, but it worked out fine. It wasn't too busy for a holiday. read more

Probably the worst service EVER. How are you working as a waiter and not interacting with your customers at all? These waiters will ignore you and not check up on you at all. The food was cold and greasy, probably because the waiter is staying in the back ignoring customers. You will be waiting without any workers helping you get seated in an empty restaurant. Do better. read more

Dumb little girls ,forsure need service help. Checked in stood there for 15mins sat 3 party that walked in after me then they said they called my name twice like I wasn't standing 5 feet from them read more

No introductions or interest in helping us, just took the food order and disappeared. After the food was delivered, no follow up on the order, took extremely long to replace a food item, and then trying to get takeout boxes was another long wait. read more

Our server was amazing and super busy but attentive but a lead or supervisor kept pestering certain servers and made the ambience awkward. It's be great to eat my food without tension. The supervisors name was amber I believe. read more

2/5/24 - I picked my grandchildren up from after-school care so that we can go out to dinner. I asked them where they wanted to go and at first they said McDonald's. I said "you know I don't go there anymore, they are too expensive and besides that.... you are hungry again & all I am ordering is some fries & sweet tea and that's $10.00 right there!!!" Then they said Applebee's and I said all right, that sounds like a winner. I haven't been here since 2021. I remember some things were slowly opening up. We didn't have to wait too long. We were seated and given our menus. Our waiter was Gloria, I remember because my grandson noticed her name tag. Gloria came back and took our drink orders and asked us to be patient with her because she was also the bartender. If course my grandchildren ordered vanilla milkshakes carbon copies of their dad at that age. I ordered a strawberry lemonade. The grandson asked me what she meant when she said she was the bartender and I told them she is doing two people's jobs. They said wow, that's not fair!!!! She came back with drinks and asked us if we were ready to order. To my surprise my granddaughter ordered from the "big people's menu" some appetizers she saw on the menu, my grandson ordered a bourbon mushroom-Swiss burger and I ordered the Parmesan steak & shrimp with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Our meals came and looked delicious!!! I took a bite out of my broccoli expecting it to be cold and it was the opposite and tasted really good, the mashed potatoes were ok and the steak was good. As for the five little shrimp they needed some seasoning even though the Parmesan sauce & butter was on my plate. We asked for one to-go container for my granddaughter. My grandson was taking in the sights from all the TV's that were on different channels showing sports. I took an interest in Media Night at the Allegiant Arena because we are now six days away from Super Bowl 58 and was still wishing that I had stayed in Vegas. I am not a football fan, but always liked to see who the entertainment was and this year it's Usher!!! I am a native of San Francisco and of course I wish the 49ers the best!!!! Anyway, I paid the bill which included the tip. I noticed that all the drinks were $4.00. Our bill was $85.00. I always take my out to dinner, we enjoy each others company. Pretty soon their little brother will be joining us. Even though Gloria's was doing two jobs she handled it!!!! She was a great server and very attentive to us!!! read more

Tried the O-M-Cheeseburger & it lived up to the hype. Cheese pull was there, the burger itself is very plain it doesn't come with onions, lettuce, pickle etc just meat, cheese and bun. 8.5/10 considering it was still delicious without any toppings. Staff were nice & attentive, replaced my drink without any issues when I sent it back. read more

Today me and my family went to Applebee's for dinner. I was excited to try the new OM cheeseburger and was sadly very disappointed. There was hardly any cheese and it just wasn't that great.! my son had the chicken Parmesan, which he said the noodles just tasted old that fettuccine my daughter-in-law had the ribs that weren't that great. And the service was lousy. Our waitress was horrible. We saw her maybe once or twice and each time had to flag her down for refills. Sorry to say we won't be going back soon.!! read more

Ordered food to go. Got 2 orders of the triple appetizers. I always love the chicken wonton tacos but when you order it to go it turns out soggy by the time you get home with it. Better to eat it at the restaurant. read more

I went in for a quick dinner by myself. While waiting for a table I was overwhelmed by the odor. It reeked of marijuana. At first I thought it must be the people nearby. But no matter where I moved the smell remained. I went to the bathroom on the other side of the restaurant and still it reeked of pot. I sat, putting up with the smell waiting. And I saw a filthy the restaurant was. The floor was covered in grime and trash remnants. Dirty walls. So I turned around and walked out. read more

Came here on New Year's day and they were not that busy at all, yet service was extremely slow!! There were so many empty tables and yet my fiancé and and couldn't get seated until 40 minutes later. They weren't even understaffed. The Waite taking down our names was on his phone a lot. I saw him picking his teeth and then handing out the menus to guests. That's so unsanitary! The only good thing that came out of this was our nice waiter Gustavo (aka Goose). He was very kind and friendly. My fiancé ordered some onion rings and mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizers. We also ordered riblets and blackened shrimp Alfredo. I'm not sure what's going on with the service, but so many of the waiters were just chilling by the kiosks/register straight up chilling. It took almost an hour to get our appetizers. Then my pasta Barry has any cheese and it's dry AF. Like where's the albedo sauce? The only thing that made up for it is the free brownie bite with vanilla ice cream since it was my birthday! Food was honestly trash here. The bread stick was decent. The mozzarella sticks were decent. At least they had a cheese pull. My fiancé asked the waiter with the black circle rimmed glasses for some extra Alfredo sauce, since my pasta was soo dry. He said he would get it for us and he never came back. I waited over 30 minutes and he never came back. Luckily, Gustavo came and quickly brought me some extra Alfredo sauce, but my pasta was already cold! I even tried to flag down a waitress, she has blonde hair and a pony tail. She looked at me, and just walked to the kiosks/registers to chat with her colleagues. Excuse me, but that's so unprofessional. Why was the service so slow?! It wasn't even busy! Tip: come here during happy hour and not only are drinks discounted, but appetizers are Half-off! (9PM-Closing) read more

Okaaayy so idk why this Applebees has such low ratings bc everytime i go here the atmosphere is amazing, the service is quick, and the menu variety just keeps getting better. Today i ordered using their 'to go' carside service which was my first time. Ordered their classic barbecue boneless wings. Didn't have a clue where their reserved parking was for the ' to go' spots. Parked at Olive Garden at first lol. So this ordering service is pretty easy you just call the resturant when you arrived and they take you your food. Sooo...when i called, i saw the waitress on the other side of the parking lot looking for my car and I realized how dumb i must look lol. So I went to park on the other side as she walked in and came out immediately with my food. Everything was ready to go and she had extra ranch for the wings & the best part...the qings werent dry!! Lol. So many resturants don't put enough sauce on their wings at ALL. Sauce is the most important part. The waitress was so attentive and had a good attitude even though I had never used this 'to go' service in my life lolol. I know some people would be put out but she was very attentive and very polite. Definitely why i love this Applebees. read more

8/5/23 10pm idk what was going on at Applebees. My server Jorge had no customer service skills what so ever. My husband ordered a Jack and coke , he brought Pepsi and coke then stated "he didn't think it was a big deal", "so what else can he get us" (exact words) instead of my apologies we only serve Pepsi products, he could of done anything else beside show that his attitude smelled like horse $hit and that he didn't care. For our meals we ordered boneless wings with chili sauce on the side. I ordered Bourbon chicken. We ended up getting bbq boneless wings instead of wings with chili sauce on the side, he comes over to ask was everything good and did we get the chili sauce, I explained no we didn't get that.... We actually got bbq wings instead of plain with chili on the side, he says he misunderstood , leaves .....and come back with chili sauce. At this point I'm getting a bit confused thinking is this careless $hit intentional or honest mistakes, I've dealt with a lot of servers clearly my reviews speak for themselves ... but as a server it was your mess up rather it was a mistake or intentionally your job was to accept the mess up and ask if we wanted them to make another batch". In which he didn't. Ordered an adios that tasted like over sweetened koolaid the bartender was loud cursing saying b*+*h this and b*+ch that I definitely believed she was under the influence. That was very unprofessional there were kids sitting not to far away, and I know if they were mine I would of been pissed. I usually check my Yelp before I go to restaurants but Applebees is a chain I wasn't expecting these rookie mistakes it's clear why there's only one and a 1/2 stars. I don't know the last time I didn't give someone a tip I always tip, and I tip very great at that, but his service was completely TRASH and even when he gave us our bill ..... there was no thank you guys.... is their anything I can get you .... do you guys need to go boxes..... , at this point was he even trained? read more

WE WERE EXCITED TO BRING EXTENDED FAMILY BECAUSE OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS SUPERB. HOWEVER AS A LARGE PARTY....THE FOOD WAS BAD, the appetizers were old, and the service was awful.

This place really disappointed our family Took 20 minutes to bring us drinks and by time our food was served we were headed out it was about 45 minutes to an hour later.

We come here often too and the place wasn't even busy. The manager should be fired! read more

Applebee's was one of the few restaurants that stayed open late. I decided to come here a little before 10:30 PM on 7/28/21 with my mother. As I walked in to put my name down with the host, a nice gentleman enthusiastically said, "Welcome in!" I believe he was the manager. It was such a warm and friendly welcoming! Next, we were seated at the table. Riley, the server, was so amazing! She was extremely sweet and took care of us with a great smile! We ordered two 1/2 off appetizers: The Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Buffalo Boneless Wings. We also did the $27 meal deal with the Mozzarella sticks, Three Cheese Chicken Penne Pasta, and Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. Everything was on point and delicious! I even asked for extra celery with the boneless wings, and Riley hooked it up! As our bill came, our server accidentally charged us full price for the appetizers. We mentioned it to her; she apologized and rectified the situation. We left her a nice tip, just because of everything she's done for us from the get-go. Even though this small thing happened, I would recommend Applebee's. Delicious, affordable food with great service! Ask to sit in Riley's section. read more

Hey, it's Applebees. What more is there to say. Their restaurants are usually pretty clean and they usually have a spacious parking lot. This one is no different. Stopped in with a friend for a late dinner...no waiting. Our table was prepped and ready for customers (unlike most places that stopped doing this because of Covid). We started with a Pretzel bread appetizer...pretty good. For my main course I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp which comes with mashed potatoes. Although the shrimp were pretty small, they were tasty. My chicken was good just right and not dry inside. This dish comes in a mushroom-onion-bourbon sauce which gives it a yummy taste. I forget what friend ordered but I do recall him saying good things about his food. Like most places, Applebees' prices are up too. But they do have several regular specials going. So if you're watching your funds, that's an option for you. read more

It's Applebees. Don't expect too much. Some servers are hit or miss, If you're lucky you'll get a great one. Definitely a good place for a quick bite or late night drink and eats. Be ready to wait too because it's usually loud and crowded so plan accordingly. read more
