Hit or miss when going, food quality wise. Staff always is friendly and hardworking. Portion sizes and cook quality varies with certain entrees. One day, you can get a perfectly cooked, well-endowed portion. The next visit, a small, overcooked/burnt resemblance of food (sometimes, of course, with takeout, I would find out when i get home, and don't have the energy to come back) 2 for 20 in the past was a great deal for what you would get - Appetizer and 2 entrees. However, with the upcharge to 2 for 25-30 (depending on choice), it seems to hurt the wallet a bit more for the same food read more

We were served 1 beer & then they threatened to call the police to our friend after we left. Told our friend he couldn't leave. Tried calling a manager(Paige) she was extremely rude & said she was giving our number to the police as well & hung up. Our friend couldn't leave & police arrived, all from stopping in for 1 drink. unbelievable. 0 stars. read more

It's been years since I got up and walked out because the service was so slow, on a slow night.

Great service and very tasty food, very friendly server! Great place for lunch! I would definitely recommend this place.

So we are in Michigan for 1 day after a 8 hour drive headed tomorrow to Nebraska for hour sons wedding decided to stop at this Applebee's for dinner so glad we did the food and service were both acceptional great way to end our very long drive and day. read more

Service was poor. Never came back to refill drinks, even when asked for refills twice. Ordered a salad, never came out, even when asked a second time for it. Never came back to check on us. Was told our son could pick a dessert for his birthday, ordered it, then brought a new bill with the dessert added. When asked, she said her manager told her we only get a discount. We declined the dessert, they still rang it up and then told us we couldn't get the money back. Gave us a little coupon for an appetizer and said they'd bring out the dessert still. We paid for it! Rough night. read more

We stopped in on a busy Friday night around 7:30. We (3 people) were prepared for a wait. The hostess looked at us and said, "We don't have any tables." When we asked if there was a waitlist, and if we could be added, she said no, there were 3 other people (not groups) waiting, and they would get the next open table. When we asked again about a wait time, she flippantly said, "I don't know how long it's going to take people to eat." She asked if we wanted to speak to the manager, but by that time, we were headed back out the door. I'm guessing she was new and improperly trained, but honestly, we have never had such a ridiculous exchange with a hostess. read more

Have never been in and Applebee's restaurant until last week. Everything was great except my husband's chicken tenders. Over cooked and old oil. I had the shrimp and ribs. Was not to bad. Fries were cold. Service was fantastic as it was on our return trip tonight. But this is the last time at Applebee's. Apparently food consistently is and issue here at the Three Rivers location. I was expecting the shrimp and ribs and it had changed to so called boneless chicken whick are almost like chicken nuggets. Dry. Ribs were fine but my husband wanted to try the menu items and got nachos. He did not like them nor did I like the boneless wings. Service was fantastic but my husband wants to know why when you order coffee there is never a spoon to stir it. So I can say we been to Applebee's but will not longer go again ​ read more

It's hit or miss, some days it's great other day not so much! They need to figure out how to keep their staff.

Bad waiting time and slow service mixed with mid food. Wasn't a good experience and the tables were dirty.

Went there on Oct 20. The place was busy. The guy they threw in to wait on us tried his best. Our order was messed up. Had to wait forever for our food and checks. The guy was not experienced to handle a large amount of people. My daughter ordered a steak which was over priced for the size and the blood ran out of it because for the thickness was not cooked long enough. My grandson's order was messed up. Did not get what he ordered. Did not send anything back because of the length of time it took to get it. I felt bad for our waiter. He tried. read more

Do not eat here. When we arrived, there were several open tables but they told us it would be a 20 minute wait. After 15 minutes they told us we could sit at a table and drink but food would be another half hour. I tried several different chairs but either all of their chairs are wobbly or there was a hole in the floor. The waiter took our appetizer order - said he could take the order but it would be over 20 minutes for food. He never came back to take our order. Someone else brought our appetizer out 25+ minutes later and we had to ask if she could send the waiter back for our order. My daughter tried to order broccoli Alfredo but we were told their broccoli was recalled and couldn't be served. And he forgot to mention it. Yum. 30 minute wait again for food and somehow mine still came out cold. Only three of four meals came out so we had to wait more so we could all eat together. The outside of my wrap was wet somehow so fell apart when picking up. The melted cheese was already cold and hard. Had to request new silverware because the knife was so dirty it stuck to the napkin it was wrapped in. I can't believe we gave money to this restaurant. Bathroom was disgusting also. read more

Abby and Taylor are the best servers Applebees has even seen in their entire career Great food would love some wontons. Great people great service there expo is also amazing read more

Great Service. SHANIA took exceptional care of us. The Boneless Wings were terrific and really hit the spot.

Great service and great food! It only took 5 min for my app and 10 minutes for my burger. My server was very hospitable and accommodating!

Good Came on time with great service. Our food was order in a mannerly fashion and was put into correctly. Overall I enjoyed the ambiance of this great establishment. Shania was our server though and was not very nice and told us to "quit chugging our drinks" read more

Terrible Service. Food was an hour and place is dead. Terrible. Will be our last stop here. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - dead place. service should be way better. - Sports Bars Near Me - Three Rivers, Michigan

The service is always phenomenal when Jackie takes care of us. We absolutely love her and her happy spirit!

Walked in. Took some time to get a seat. The hostess came out from the back with a huge mouth of food so that explained it. Sat for more than 15 minutes without even a hello. Got up and walked out. read more

We've been gong to Applebee's since they opened up here in Three Rivers, Mi. In the beginning, great food, great prices and great service. We went to have our favorite meal on a Saturday afternoon, 1.21.2023. There were a few people waiting, seemed like a small party, like they were all together. We wait to be seated, I'm looking around and I count at least 5 empty tables in half the restaurant. I never looked behind myself. The hostess approaches, and like we've done multiple times before, we ask to sit at the table in the bar. With a smirk, she says "you can in 30 minutes..." I'm like there's empty tables, more tables than people waiting.... her response, "gotta keep the flow" . I'm like what flow? She smirks again. Now. I do not recognize any staff, there's empty tables, a few are waiting to be seated... but these tables were clean. No explanation, no anything. I look at my husband, we had plans to go to a movie so time was an issue. We decide to leave, and the hostess says... so sickening sweetly, enjoy the rest of your day, and thank you. Sarcasm was doing. A family passed through us and walked in and sat down. I'm like for what? Obviously, keeping the flow is more important than their customer service. If you've changed things say so. So we ending up driving across town to Hanks on the River, really good food and the best part only half the cost of Applebee's. We have options Applebee's, we have options. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - It's says live wait 5 minutes... we were told 30 minutes and others have said the same. - Sports Bars Near Me - Three Rivers, Michigan

waited over and hour to get our meal and it was cold and could tell it sat under a heat lamp. my mashed potatoes had a crusted on top. my broccoli was ice cold and my rare steak was hard on the top. yes a little busy for a Friday but food should never be served like that and when asked for a manager maybe that manager should come and see us. read more

Standing about 10 feet from a row of three empty tables for two, we requested a table for two. The hostess politely informed us that "unless we wanted to sit at the bar, we'd have to wait outside for at least 40 minutes" I scanned the groups waiting ahead of us and we were clearly the only group of two. My wife still enjoyed her birthday dinner, just NOT at Applebees. So long, farewell. Won't be back. read more

They always forget something! This time it was the order of fries. Other times it has been the extra order of sauces i ask for. One time it was the sandwich made without one of the main ingredients! read more

If I could give zero Stars I would. I ordered chicken this was the smallest and toughest piece of chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Looked like a kid's meal. I normally don't go to this Applebee's in Three Rivers but that's where I was at the time. All of the other Applebee's I have been to have been excellent with excellent service also. The only thing that was good about my meal was my salad. My daughter had a steak dinner which her steak was very tough and dry. We asked our waitress for A1 sauce it took her 10 minutes and me asking again for it to actually get to our table.I might add that our server did not even smile once at us and never even came back to see if we needed refills. The restaurant was not that busy. She was very rude. Needless to say she did not get a tip on a $50 bill. Will never go back to Three Rivers Applebee's again. read more

Food was excellent and what a great deal, 2 dinners for $25 with side salads! Our waiter was excellent in the bar area...so helpful and thoughtful and friendly! Thank you Applebee's for being open on Sunday, a lot of other places were closed! read more

The food was great our mozzarella sticks were cooked perfectly for my husband and I to chew for we have no teeth lol

What can I say about Applebee's ? Chicken chicken chicken boring I go about ten times a year only have appetizers because I don't care for rest of menu And yes over the years I've tried a variety of things Please pass on to cooperate Try something New and with some imagination like PORK the real white meat and different seafood items The only reason you are relevant in Three Rivers Mi area is you have little to no competition! read more

Usually 5 starts when we go but Aidan the bartender gave me my drink almost half gone.

Great service. Lots of variety. Great place. Thanks Allysa for such good service, all with a beautiful smile. New day. Very good service. Food was really good. Nice atmosphere. Local option for us is great. read more

What a horrible experience. Sat forever waiting for a table while watching 3 servers clear a table or 2 and not seat anyone. They had much conversation among themselves in front of the waiting patrons. We ordered the 12 ounce rib eye steaks at 19.99. They were fatty and frizzy and not worth the money. I could do better buying a steak at the dollar steak. St least the quality would be comparable. Our service was ok. The bartender was busy so I cant complain as she did her best to serve our table. Havent been here for years and now I remember why. Dont waste your time or especially your hard earned money here! read more

Worst restaurant by far in town. Placed an order for pickup. Was supposed to be 20 minutes. 40 minutes later, she collects my card and charges it and brings it back saying couple more minutes for my food. Several minutes later, she comes out to say she is just so sorry....she gave my food to the vehicle before me 25 MINUTES AGO .... but she would be happy to make it for me again. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? You KNEW you gave away our order, you still charged my card and then offer to make me wait another 20 minutes. Absolutely atrocious and appalling. Never again!! read more

Horrible experience wait staff never come by and check see if we need it refills till the end of our meal my wife's bill was cold had to be sent back management staff confrontational to the point of over talking my wife telling her that she was rude family member works there tried to get the family discount was told we could not get it unless it person was working at the time p sounded kind of confusing so we asked to talk to manager manager proceeded to come out right away over talking my wife accusing her of being rude when she tried to talk to him and talk louder than him so he could hear what she was saying he obviously was not interested in which he was saying and so walked away we proceeded to ask the people next to us if my wife was rude this manager come over here and got in our business and said not to bother his guests at their tables so I told him we were just waiting for our ticket he told us to leave the mail would be paid for but it was not paid for I was still charged will not go back to this restaurant again read more

They were short staffed and slow but so is just about everyone these days. Food was OK but nothing fantastic. Service was good. Basically what you should expect during these times at an Applebees. read more

If I could rate this zero stars I would. Told there was going to be an hour wait for seating after seeing half the restaurant empty. Not only did we have to wait 45mins but there were larger parties waiting over an hour. Children were also seated at the bar as well. read more

Worst food we have had since we left on our trip across the United States. Will never return to this Applebee's.

The Bride was getting hungry. Sure she had the free hot breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express. But the wedding wasn't until 2 and who knows when she'd get to eat with all of the mixing and mingling. So we decided to let this individual, such a bundle of pre-nuptial nervousness, out of her ivory tower/prison/hotel room to get something to eat. We told the staff at Applebees about our tight timeline. They got us in, took our orders, brought our food to us, and got us out in perfect time. They even got my special order right. Hot Dam! Applebee's, you are alright with me! read more
