My first visit at Appleby's ever. The waitress Melissa took good care of us. I tried a pork chop with scampi on top together with fries and broccoli. The pork was a bit on the dry side but scampis, fries and broccoli were good. This is not fine dining but for the price you cannot complain. I would not mind coming back. read more

The restaurant was very dark. I ordered bone in wings they were awful onion rings were. My husband wanted the burger on the bread, out of bread. I understood they couldn't use lettuce because of contamination. Update your menu, the desert I wanted was discontinued still on menu. Why did they discontinue nachos. I felt bad for the waitress she was awesome. I am done read more

This location is at Best meh. Lately they are turning over staff and their food is suffering. A horrible experience, won't go back for a very long time if ever read more

We ordered pick up The bread s ticks were cold and hard as a rock The beef dipper sandwich was cold as ice and the fries were soggy . Bummed we spent our last money for the week on it really unhappy read more

On 2/24/26 we went to Applebee's for supper there was four of us we spent $150 I'll be honest two of our dishes weren't very good at all my match pays were cold my broccoli was really cold in the prime rib was so small thin that is it tougher than a boot leather. I have not eaten there in over 7 years and it'll be another seven to 15 years if I go back again and the service was terrible too read more

The pecan praline sizzle cake is really delicious! Fast and friendly service.busy grill and bar atmosphere! Love having booths for seats!!!

My meal was abysmal. An "Asian" salad with virtually no lettuce, a ton of those dry crunchy "noodles" and the dressing was NOT Asian inspired in any way, more like straight up coleslaw dressing. I ate about a quarter of it. My daughter liked her fried shrimp though, so that was something. The service was lackluster and very impersonal despite the restaurant being nearly empty. I do not recommend. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - "Asian" salad, with coleslaw dressing (that's exactly what it tasted like) and almost all consisting of those dry crunchy gross "noodles" - American Near Me - Tilton, New Hampshire

See all

Good service, good atmosphere and, good food. This is the first time we've tried this Applebees and I' m glad I did.

Horrible place it took a hour just for too people like I had to set a timer food tast like dish water and when I ask for a new dish they said no with an attitude and the place was not even pact this place is usually good I don't no what has gotten in too them read more

The Applebee's iwhere we live is great. Evidently, not all of them are equal. Ordered WINS. I got all drumettes. It's supposed to be half and half. Had to tell them it should have WINGS. MY husband got Oriental chicken salad. Unappealing look and unnapelimg taste. We expected the same quality we usually get. Isn't that what chains are supposed to offer? live is awesome. This location is not even close. Ordered chicken wings. It came with only drumettes Had to say it should be chicken WINGS. MY read more

It would be a zero if I could. Friday night, two local graduations, bike week, and what does the manager do but short staff the restaurant. A 45 minute wait with 28 tables empty. Been here 20 minutes already and they have seated NO one. 4 tables have left and the wait staff are hanging around the waitress station chit chatting. Stay away!!!!! read more

Fish&Chips. Totally disgusting. The service is good and the drinks are very good. Recommendations to have Fish & chips was misleading. The fish was frozen totally greedy as hell and almost un edible. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant before the movies. We arrived at 5:10 PM to eat before our movie started at 7:10. The restaurant was nearly empty and we were were sat next to a family of four, at a table for 6, and we then moved to the bar, where employee's just stared at us and didn't serve anything. Left the restaurant to go to another nearby restaurant that serves pizza, and was served immediately and our waitress received a tremendous tip. read more

Service was great... servers were personable and kind. Food took about 45 minutes to get to the table and one of the 4 orders was completely wrong. Margarita was excellent Good for drinks-- Will go somewhere else next time for food read more

Food was not bad other than one meal was half cold after waiting 45 minutes to get our food with the restaurant being empty.

We ate at this Applebees and were extremely disappointed. It was one of the worst meals we have ever eaten I ordered spare ribs that were advertised fall off the bone. I could hardly cut through them with my knife. They were like a brick. My wife order a special salad that was dry. Also they ran out of a special salad dressing. Our advise STAY AWAY. read more

Today we arrived and the restaurant was more than half empty. We were told they do not have a table for us.

Thursday date night. We're told it would be a 25 min wait. Restaurant had maybe 8 tables. When finally seated, waitress said kitchen had a high volume of Door dash orders. Patrons were being turned away due to an empty restaurant and not wanting to wait. Food was at best bar food and not hot. Waitress was attentive and did a great job, but having only one table makes it easy to give great service. Should of stayed home and ordered Door dash, it would of been cold and we would of gotten it sooner. read more

Attempted to have dinner 430 pm ish on 4-8-24. Super quiet time. Walked in and asked if we could sit at a high top.. Immediate response was I don't have a server for that section. She kept staring at her floorplan seating chart. I said please not again .. I have been told we can sit where we want please get your manager . No it's not that she replied I just have to see if I have someone that will wait on you in that section ( right beside the bar mind you) Again I reiterated as she walked away and vanished into the Kitchen. A couple in there 80s were shocked and said what you can sit where you want ?? They told me that they have never been ALLOWED to sit where they want. Odd as Management and myself have had this discussion and Management has told me that if they are open you can sit anywhere anytime. Watching for the return of the hostess as we watched her chatting with someone that popped their head out of the kitchen and talking and looking our way we decided that this will not be good. A major discussion to see if they would serve us at a high top table next to the Bar.. Place was almost dead. Guess they don't want customers. NEVER AGAIN. I really felt bad for the couple in their 80s as they were quite upset that they had been told they can't sit where they want and probably many times. I hope they left behind us. read more

Love the food here and the prices are decent the waiter we had was fantastic and I recommend this place and the apple fritter was fantastic read more

Took My grandson to have lunch today He had a kids cheeseburger He goes and takes a bite of it and ends up with a piece of wooden tooth pick in his mouth I order the combo appetizer it was bad not impressed will not be back ........... read more

Dying good in the neighborhood: Just ate at Applebee's in Tilton for the last time this year. The server was excellent but unless you want a heapin' helpin' of COVID 19 with your burger and fries, you may want to eat elsewhere. Shortly before we left, a party was seated no more than three feet from us and we watched (from a distance, fortunately) as the bartender kept slipping off her mask to chat with her customers. We'll try it again in 2022 if the staff is still alive. read more

As a vegetarian, I DO NOT recommend going to any Applebee's chains. The food is not worth the price, it honestly tasted like microwaved TV dinner. I was told by the waitress ANY pasta dish could be vegetarian. I then proceeded to ask for the Mac and cheese, and was told it was not. So, I went with the four cheese penne. Pasta was overcooked and gummy, I couldn't take more than one bite, my appetite was completely lost. First time I have ever had to turn down food from a restaurant. The waitress said it happened a lot. I will NEVER be going there, or to any one of these chains ever again. read more

We were served cold food after waiting for almost 2 hours We asked to talk to speak to a manager and they wouldn't come out to speak to us We watched the waitresses walk over a dirty napkin in the walk way after they dropped it clear a table stepped over it more then one person our dishes were dirty on the top rim and the bottom will not come back read more

foods always good and service is amazing and everything always come out quick love this place!

Stopped at this place for dinner. Waited approximately 10 minuets for a server. Another 10 minutes for 1 appetizer . After another 20-25 minutes of waiting for our food and a waitress who ignored us until I got her attention and told her that customers who were seated long after us were served their food. She said our food was "in the window". Whatever the the hell that means. We got up and left. The service here totally sucks. Will never stop here again. As we were heading for our car the manager came out and said they were about to bring out our food.after sitting there for 40 minutes waiting for it. Too little to late. Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. Thanks for nothing Apple crap. read more

Can I leave less than 1 star? Kristen. Sorry I mean Kirsten H. We clearly saw you talking with the hosts and staring at our table the whole time. Not a comfortable situation for us. Waited about 15 minutes in between each drink... and then you proceeded to question me when I only had 2 drinks. Maybe if you came to our table more often, you would have noticed how many drinks we each consumed at 1:30pm on a Saturday. Majority of us are servers ourselves and know what good service looks like. read more

I can't give this place a star but made me do it Place absolutely sucked Hands-down the worst food ever sent to a table every thing was cold service was such crap waiting on a drink for 17 mins walked to the bar to order my own drink was told by the bartender I couldn't put an order in that way an if I did I would only be able to sit at the bar mind you I'm with a party of 4 absolutely the worst customer service ever provided read more

If I could give this food zero stars, I would. My children wanted to go here. It was AWFUL. Thankfully cured us all of EVER going back.

Horrible experience... went in late afternoon, the restaurant was busy, but not packed. Didn't wait at all for a table. My mom and I ordered off their 2/$20 menu. It felt like things were taking awhile, when the waitress came to apologize for the wait and the manager would take the appetizer off the bill. Mistakes happen, no big deal. After we were done the appetizer, several tables around us, that arrived well after us, began getting their food. One table waited less than 10 minutes for their whole meal while we're sitting there still without our meals. When our food came (a solid 25 minutes) after we were done with our appetizer, I told the waitress we were frustrated as we'd been waiting an awfully long time while people who were seated after us were eating. She told us the kitchen was backed up... to which I replied, "For just our table!?" She continued to blame it on the kitchen and said the manager would be out. The food wasn't even hot. The manager was great, apologized, and took the meal off the bill. The waitress on the other hand never came back to the table. It was lucky they have the new electronic screens at the table so we could see the bill. We waited another ten minutes for a check and ended up leaving cash on the table since she hadn't come since she delivered the food. As we were leaving, the table behind us flagged down a different waitress to ask for service and said she had been "ignored" for over 10 minutes. Pull it together, Applebee's. read more

The service gets better and better every time we go. The servers are always nice and attentive to our needs. I did go with a few of my friends and we are fairly young they where not as attentive to us if i come with them. May have something to do with the amount we tip but still fairly good service overall. read more

Disappointing experience. My waitress was very irritated and annoyed. Both my kids ordered kids meals and one came out long before the others did. I got the bourbon chicken and was very disappointed with it. The chicken was dry and not very many onions or mushrooms. My meal did not look very appetizing when it came out. I told my waitress and her response was "I don't know what to tell you, it depends on who's cooking" I don't think I'll bother with this place again primarily because of my waitress response confirms no consistency with the quality of the meal and service so I don't know what I am going to pay for when I go there. I recommend UNO and Chillis is up the street and customer service is consistent. read more

My family came to dinner on NewYears day to a rather disappointing experience. Friendly, yet unaware service, climaxed by our waiting for drinks over 15 minutes, finally receiving our meals only to find out they were " out of the 8oz steakes, to be offered a 6 oz with limited options, French fries were stone cold and After 15 minutes received drinks ,only to find out they were out of " milk". This is the second experience we had this " out of the basics" excuse. The server was friendly but made little effort to adjust for meal problems, not to mention. Not being on top of other doable issues. MacDonalds , a notch being there low you, does a better job with options, making it right and providing better service. Sorry, but you need to read your other reviews!!!!y read more

Got here at 5:30, seated right away, ordered by 5:45, still have not received food and it is approaching 6:45. Very crammed seating, small restaurant in general. Not convenient for any sized group. People that were seated after us got there food before us. Quite frankly I'm worried that they forgot about us, but who knows. read more

We live locally and have always had good service and good food at this Applebees. Love the cedar grilled lemon chicken -- absolute favorite. read more

I have never been disappointed. I honestly love the staff here and always love the food. They do very well with the Margaritas too! I have never been disappointed with them. I've been here quite a few times and plan to continue to bring my family. It is a nice place for family to enjoy their meals. They are very polite with younger children as well. read more

I was at Applebee's to celebrate Mothers Day with my husband, and it was awful!!! We have been to this Applebee's on several occasions, and had a good experience, but tonight was a train wreck. It took almost 45 minutes to get our salads, once they arrived, within 9 minutes our appetizers and entrees were delivered. Not only was that bad, but we had both realized that when taking our order, our server hadn't asked how we wanted them. The result was 2 almost raw steaks... This was a terrible experience and we will probably never give Applebee's another chance... If you are there any time soon, avoid the tall blonde waitress, she's as dumb as a box of rocks, our displeasure was felt by all the customers in our station, she screwed up orders for person after person at other tables as well... read more

So I wanted to call in a food order as they are one of the only places that's open past 9pm. (Positive) when I called in the order the woman on the phone did an awesome job at hell king pick out what food items to buy. She actually looked and read trough most of the menu for me!! She did a great job at helping me order while I was driving up the highway. When I got there about 13min later I was greeted properly and felt comfortable waiting for my food to be completed. The woman who took my phone order actually waited on me at the bar where you have to pick up your "to go" orders after the dinner rush. I always give a 20%+ tip to all waiters waitresses, as I managed and ran many restaurants and delis. I left with. Giant grin knowing I have food for the night! (Food ordered: 2 for $20 entrees which were chic finger basket and chick cheese sauce on pence, comes with app. Which I chose artichoke dip) I got home about 40min later and found the other entree to be the fiesta chic, which I really do not like, to say the least. I did call and complain, but if anyone from that company monitors social media I hope they attempt the correct action. I would back it up with the receipt, but of course Im an idiot and tossed it at the gas station not realizing I would need it! Oh well. Next I'll order there, but look at food before i drive away with it! The reason for the 3 out of 10 is because that was my only food for the whole day was this Applebee's meal deal thing... And I only ate the one meal as I do not like the fiesta chic. read more

I was pretty disappointed. We stopped in about 1:30pm. First they wanted to seat us at the bar even though there were plenty of seats available in the restaurant. When we declined, they reluctantly put us in the main restaurant in a booth. The person I was dining with is a vegetarian, and although most restaurants offer some options for vegetarians, nothing seemed to be meatless on the menu. (It should be called Meat-bee's or Bacon-bee's, as you will see.) No options for substituting veggie patties on burgers and really nothing beyond salad -- leave off the bacon -- was available, but the waitress suggested the chicken mac 'n cheese without the chicken. When it arrived, it was covered with bacon and the server told us the bacon was in the sauce, as well. My friend's salad was OK, though very small and they forgot the dressing. My meal was a little better. I had the Portsmouth clam chowder, which was OK, but there were maybe only one or two clams in it. The salad was very small. The only real highlight was the brownie bite for $1.29 that you could add on to the meal. I won't go back. I'm really disappointed. read more

If I could give this place zero stars- I promise you that I would! I ordered CarSide to go from the app on my phone and specifically ordered special drinks to go with each of my meals. I tipped well- and never received my drinks. After calling the manager I was promised a $15 gift card to be sent to my email- I haven't received a gift card and I have called back 3 times. I've been told each time that I would be receiving it immediately. This may seem petty to some but the frozen lemonades is mostly the only reason I ordered and I was looking forward to enjoying it. And to make it worse my food was cold and given to me 10 minutes after the time I had asked for it to be ready. Absolutely disgusted with this places poor management and empty promises. We all have bad days and forget to do things but after calling three times I'm convinced I will never be seeing compensation for my missing items. Such a shame. read more
