Review #995 Posted on 2.6.26 We've came here a few times now, most notably tonight Friday the 31st for takeout. The last time we came to eat here, we dined inside and it was packed. This spot is located on Naglee Road right next to the other restaurants, Mall, & Target. It's pretty close to the freeway as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This night for whatever reason it was way more calm/tame, not as many people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food at Applebee's is underrated in my opinion. However on this night they forgot to pack our salad, and the bags are packed up so tight you can't pretty much open them on the spot and see if anythings missing without having to basically repack it with new bags. Order was also a tad late, I came about 10 minutes after quoted time and my order was yet to be packed up. I will keep coming back to this location though as I feel they give pretty good service, and have a nice staff. read more

Date: Tuesday, November 4th, 2025 Time: around 8pm Party of: 3 Meal: Dinner *Chicken Caesar Salad ($16.49) *French Onion Soup Ala ($7.49) *Casa Sil 20 ($12.49) - I think this is the Skinny Margarita I ordered *Pint Bud Light ($3) *Mozzarella Sticks 8 ($6.50) *Boneless Wings 10 ($8) *Pint Michelob Ultra ($3) *8oz Sirloin ($13.99) - Garlic Mash, Green Beans *Jameson 125 ($6.99) - Soda back *Jameson 125 ($6.50) *Boneless Wings 10 ($15.99) *Pint Sierra Hazy ($6) *Tax ($8.80) The hubby and I were on our way back to SJ from Tahoe. Wanted to stop for food and to watch the Warriors game. Decided to check out the Applebee's since we went to BJ's the week prior. We have a friend that lives in Tracy, so we invited him out. It wasn't too busy, so we decided to grab a table in the bar area. They have a good amount of specials. On Tues, it's $2 off glasses of wine, $2 off woodford old fashion, $3 bud light 16 oz, $3 michelob ultra 16 oz. Food wise it was steak night, so their top sirloin was $9.99 for a 6oz and $13.99 with 2 classic sides. I also believe after 9pm they do half off apps? Not completely sure, but I recall waiting til around that time to order few apps. Our friend wanted boneless wings when we got there, so those were full price at $15.99. The ones I ordered were only $8. Food was as expected for an Applebee's. I wanted the old fashion special, but apparently they were out. So I just asked if they could make a skinny margarita. I know, completely different, but I just wanted to try the OF since it was a special. Also, if you order a back, they charge you an extra $0.49. I found that very odd. Plus, the hubs wanted an actual soda separately to have with dinner and not a back so there's that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar area was pretty mellow. We sat at a table where we could view a few different TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing to note, this place was freezing. I was sooo cold. Idk why they had the air blasting so much, but I had to wear two jackets to stay okay. Not warm, but okay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a sucker for a HH, so luckily we got to partake in some specials.

Horrible service..... definitely will not be coming back. Food cold and not allowed to stand at bar and take the last sip of my beer without it being a problem read more

Service was good we were seated soon after waking in during dinner time in a Sunday the place was not crowded or busy at all. Easy parking food was ready fairly quick. Two out of our 3 menus were missing the middle main page so if you do not see the steak or chicken selections ask for a new menu We had the bourbon chicken with shrimp garlic mashed potatoes they were good my son had a delicious looking club grille sandwich Drink specials were a good selections so just come in sit back and dine for a bit. We had watched a movie and stopped in here after for dinner before heading home read more

My family went here for lunch, I got bourbon street shrimp and chicken, it was tasty and delicious. Chicken was cool right and the shrimp are not over cook. So much mushrooms which is a plus! Smashed potatoes great texture. My niece and aunt order all you can eat, the ribs very tender and great flavor! My mom and sister order chicken lime. They enjoyed them. Peach tea was good. Our meals came out great! Service was great, I didn't get he's name but she was checking on us and making sure if we need anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a little bit empty, few people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was clean and neat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will come back for more food dishes! read more

Waiter was the only good thing. Food was very mid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I left my glasses on a table in there and it was not crowded at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I called today 3 times to be told oh the manager is looking for them please hold each time the phone hung up. Called again a young lady said they were looking for them then said oh we gave them to someone in your party. Mind you it was me and my son. Looks like they gave them to someone or stole them. Very unprofessional, I understand if you are busy then you say let me take down your information and get back to you. Nope just placed on hold to be told they gave some glasses to someone else. These were some gucci glasses not just random glasses that I shouldn't have left, not blaming them but professionalism went out the window. Will not be back to this location. read more

My review has nothing to do with the waiter. He was extremely nice. The reason for the 3 star was because the mash potatoes were cold while the rest of the food was hot. I never had cold mash potatoes in a restaurant before. Also one of the dishes we ordered came out 15 minutes after the dish before. Everyone already finished eating because the last entree arrived and that was my entree. The artichoke dip and mozzarella sticks were both pretty good but all the other dishes were okay. read more

Below average service, asked for a booth but instead gave us a table. Our waitress never asked us for our sides and our 1 appetizer never came out. All in all needs improvement. read more

I just finished eating here. Horrible terrible fries were salty af. Food took way to long waiting like an hour. Waited like 20 minutes for my drink and barely any people in here and they took super long. I would not recommend this location!!! read more

Well we changed it up and decided to try out the new 2 for $25 deal today and pretty disappointed. There was no wait time which was nice our server was amazing very attentive and had great customer service but the food was not great. My steak felt too cooked (I order Medium Rare) as well as my daughter order the same and her steak was not cooked looked raw her mash potatoes had no flavor definitely will not be coming back prefer going to our go to spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was a bit loud but it's understandable music box was playing some good jams the TVs had a lot of sports going on vibes were cool[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] a lot going on just wish the food was great. read more

My boyfriend and I just walked in and we were seated right away and were looking forward to having dinner there but after waiting for 20 mins at our table with no acknowledgement or even offered drinks we had to walk out. Unfortunately it's happen to us before and really wanted to give them another try but it happens every time. read more

12-29-22...11: 30a.m. updated review I've been visiting this Applebee's since 2016...Since I've been here no matter what time day or I nite I have a good time. I usually have a few cold ones, load up the juke box via Touch Tunes app on my phone and let the good times roll. The staff is alwayz on the go with a bizzy impatient customers {please give them a break}. All the bartenders are real chill. Stop by for a cold one and watch the game...thankx read more

wonderful date night spot when you want to go later at night. I got the chicken bacon ranch burger and i'm not sure what my bf got but it was delicious! the shark bowl drink was delicious and bigger than I expected to be and everything was great, the only thing was our server. we felt VERY rushed because we barely got our food and not even halfway through eating she brings our check. my boyfriend wanted to order another drink too so it's really weird she did it so early into our meal, the store wasn't closing for another hour or two. her name was Amy and she looked pretty annoyed when he asked for another drink and brought out the check AGAIN after he got the drink. what if we wanted dessert? it was just an off putting experience after getting our check right away feeling pretty rushed. read more

Family and I went back to Applebee's after a year or so. Food was prepared well, service was quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason for 4 stars is that a table next to us was playing music and the staff didn't ask them to turn it off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not a huge deal but minor annoyance. read more

First off I ordered the the Chicken ranch sandwich. At no time was I asked if I wanted either of the (2) sandwiches. Due to there's a crispy or a grilled. So upon my waitresses approval she figured I was fine with whatever she chose for me. I was not happy when she came out with a grilled chicken sandwich with yellow lettuce and half a$$ put together. Upon my food arrival I put a smile on my face and just ate my hot food. Nobody trying to wait another meal period for their food, especially just being off of work. Definitely would t eat here again, but I will be back for the drinks! The atmosphere is definitely on point. Many tv's to watch from and bathrooms are clean so are the tables. Servers are nice. read more

My family & I love coming here for our Sunday dinner, Nicholas M was a wonderful server.

Waitress named Natasha is very nice and courteous that's why I added 1 star. Quality of food is terrible. Chicken wings were burnt. I was hoping they would have gave me credit since the wings were burnt and cold. I think the cook needs to be trained on how to cook chicken. Wonton tacos were ok. Nachos were cold and disgusting. I'll just come here for drinks and eat somewhere else. read more

Not crowded when we arrived so we were seated quickly! Our waitress Deena was prompt and ALWAYS had a smile on her face :) The food was good ordered the 2 for $25 ($30) made a minor sub. The only thing was that it was FREEZING!! I get it its Tracy but it wasnt that hot more like windy so thank god!! we had our coats in car! read more

I totally forgot to write a review last night But ... Seen harassment with a white manager I believe trying to pull or grab an employee arm & hair. that's not okay especially in front of customer. happened around 9. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place sucks !!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Not the same as it used to be. I should've checked reviews. We had to wait about 4 minutes to be acknowledged and seated. Waitress came to take our order. I ordered the Shark bowl and my husband got a bottle of beer, it took 5 minutes and had been sitting for 3 on the bar counter. My husband ordered the grilled chicken and shrimp and I ordered the Riblet platter. His meal was good, even though he asked for no onions and my riblets were warm but didn't satisfy my riblet appetite and fries were cold. My Shark bowl was just an overpriced slurpee! Won't go again, I had my choice since it was my belated birthday dinner, will pick better next time. It wasn't too busy at the 5 o'clock time but clearly a "locals" or the "usual customers" when we left. read more

The two for $25 is a total rip off! Whatever you do, do not upgrade to an 8oz sirloin! They charge you $9 extra and then the two for $25 no longer applies to the second meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is run down and the service was slow.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will never go back to Applebees! Especially in Tracy, CA! Absolutely horrible! read more

Stopped at Applebee's I. Tracy off the 205 (Naglee Rd) Waitresses were really nice!! We ordered a Cheese burger with bacon and Onion rings instead of fries. The waitress says the upcharge is $3.99. I thought ok. There were 5 onion rings and the suggested gratuity starts at $18 %. . We both started laughing!! 75 cents a ring The bacon was so taking you could see through it read more

I had a good time here, the host, skylar, was super friendly, and our server, Natasha (hopefully im remember the right names) was so nice, pretty, and amazing at their job. She kept a great attitude with us even though we were picky about our food.. sorry, great service all around. the food was ok, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was decent, but the restaurant felt a bit cold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service made up for it though! read more

This is my 1st visit at this location. We were seated at our booth as requested. Placed our order and waited for a while for our food to arrive. The presentation was just okay. I asked for extra mushrooms, but I didn't get that. I only had 5 really small shrimps on my plate. I was not happy, but I let it slide. My drink was delicious! The waitress was VERY attentive to us and the rest of her customers. Sorry, I didn't get her name. Left her a nice tip. Food could have been a little better and a better presentation. read more

This is the nastiest place, we got seated at a dirty sticky table. Asked to get it cleaned still so sticky the menus stuck to the table. We order our drinks and all the cups had food stuck to the side No wonder no one comes here anymore. Applebees has gone down the drain. What is happening to this place? read more

Just had dinner here. Very good. Natasha was our waitress. She is very sweet and nice. Thank you Natasha for being so attentive and friendly!! Keep up the great work and we'll be back again soon!! read more

The Tracy Applebee's "Carside Pickup" system is poorly run and unreliable. Customers cannot depend on the restaurant to bring out their orders. Sometimes they will and other times, like for me today, they simply don't. When I went in looking for my order, they brought it out from the kitchen. It had obviously been sitting for a while as the food was cold. read more

Picked up food from here to go as requested by my in-laws for a lunch visit at their home. I'd never been to Applebees and I know why.. my husband ordered the salmon, was very over cooked and dry, I had the Nachos with chicken and it wasn't good, my in-laws ordered steak & shrimp, it was ok except for the mashed potatoes, was dry, no moisture or even gravy. I also had the chicken tortillas soup in a tiny cup, I did appreciate that they left the tortilla strips out of the soup so it wasn't soggy.. and the soup was pretty good I must say. We also had the spinach artichoke dip with chips which was crispy and good. But overall, disappointed. read more

I'm writing this review because I got so drunk off of one drink (I don't drink often so please bear with me, haha). That drink was smackin'! And our food was pretty good too! Giving them 4 stars because the food was pretty decent and the seating arrangements were not too bad. The sad thing about it too was they had ONE SERVER for 10 tables like what the heck man. Big props to Amber for hanging in there and doing her best! The service was garbage though oh my God we waited so long to get our food and drinks. The servers kept asking and bringing out food that we did not order. They are not organized. One server asked us about a plate of chips and salsa and put the plate down before waiting for us to say they were not ours. They ended up being on the house, which was good for us. We ate the whole plate! It's always going to be hit or miss with any Applebee's. Come with low expectations and patience. read more

The service here sucks. What happened to Applebee's. Used to be the go to spot for happy hour or just a quick lunch, but over the years.. service has just declined. We came in, they seated us almost immediately. It wasn't packed nor lonely, just average. Full bar though. The guy takes our drink order.. doesn't come back with the drinks for a good 15 mins. Then left the drinks and didn't ask if we were ready to order, he then takes another tables order and comes back to us, takes our order? Okay. We ordered our appetizers... another 20 mins and nothing.. 10 minutes... nothing... 47 mins and finally the appetizers came out. Wrong of course. Then we ordered our dinner. Food was cold, not cooked properly.. My drink was way too sweet, no alcohol. It was just a really long dinner. We sat in Applebee's for a good 3 hrs & 15mins. And didn't even eat half of our food, because we had to send it back. And not once did we get an apology.. or even a discount. The waiter barely came to check in on us but every 40 mins when he'd bring the drink.. then the appetizers & then the entree. Which were all done completely wrong. We won't be returning. read more

Very slow service. Our server never did check back on us not even one time. Food was ok .

I walked into the restaurant. my server immediately looked pissed. as we were ordering she sighed and rolled her eyes as if we had done something wrong we ordered unlimited tenders and every single order made her more and more mad. i was just trying to enjoy my meal. her name is amy marie she was extremely rude, food was fire though read more
