Walked into Applebee's and were seated quickly. Our waiter, Dustin, did a great job taking care of us from start to finish! My cousin wanted two different types of beer on tap, but unfortunately they did not have either one available. That did not stop us from enjoying our meal, though. I ordered the Ribeye based on Dustin's recommendation, and it was definitely the right call. Thanks to Dustin and the cook--the steak was cooked perfectly and didn't even need steak sauce! My cousin ordered the fish and chips and was very very pleased with his meal as well. Dustin stayed on top of everything, making sure our drinks were always full and checking in to see if we needed anything else. I am not sure why this location has lower ratings than expected. We had a great experience, good food, and excellent service. Thank you, Dustin--keep up the great work and carry on! read more

Son and I went in for their $15.99 all you can eat special. The shrimp was by far the best option, cooked perfectly. The boneless wings had good flavor, but were extremely hard to eat, so hard in fact it hurt my teeth. I don't know if it was too much breading or overcooked (possibly both), but they were not good. The riblets came out temperature cold and thus weren't enjoyable. Only 6 wings/shrimp on re-orders is not enough. Small re-orders, lots of fries, and a lengthy time to get them is a great strategy for your brain to tell you that you are "full". Price is right, but it seems like the quality has slipped since our last visit. read more

I haven't been to this location since before I moved away 8 years ago. I showed up a little after 9... The waitress that initially helped us order drinks was a little rude. At some point, she was off and we were helped by Ryan A. He was great! He checked on us, made sure we had refills, etc. My friend and I both ordered the Bourbon Chicken and Andouille Sausage pasta. I added Jalapeño and it was DELICIOUS! The bread stick was stale and not good, but the pasta definitely made up for it. I'll definitely be back to order that. The mozzarella sticks felt like they weren't cooked well... The cheese did not melt. The spinach dip had a strong cheese taste, Idk which cheese it was, but it was still good. Thanks Ryan for making it a more comfortable experience. read more

AJ is awesome!! That kid is efficient and very kind. Foods always good and they're playing great songs!

The service was perfect. We didn't have to wait long for food or to order. The food came out amazing. Everything was cooked well and was perfectly seasoned. Definitely recommend read more

We experienced racism with the bartender and with the server unfortunately three white gentleman were at the bar telling them to send Hispanic people away or sit them in the corner . I never experienced this before it was very saddening to see from the server Brittany and bartender Ramsin to do this Applebee's need to educate there employees! This will create a lawsuit to the company ! read more

One star wack ass manger or whoever ruined my night I had a dd wasn't being loud wasn't being rude wasn't being idiotic they wanna cut me off at 2 dollar margaritas like wtf straight power trippin over there. Terrible service didn't do anything to anyone but sitting there with my group of people. Don't come here if you want the mangers to act like your a lil ass kid for no reason was having a good time until I came here. read more

Truly a wonderful experience! Our server Branson had the perfect balance one wants in a server- attentive but not pushy, quick but not rushed, knowledgeable but not overbearing. And the bartender Julie makes the Perfect Skinny Marvarita! ( ask for a salt, sugar, tajin mix on the rim!) Now on the food.. Bourbon Street Chicken and Andouille Sausage Penne was delightful! The sauce on top brought it all together. The Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp was served over grilled onions and mushrooms with a side of seasoned mashed potatoes. Heaven! The manager Jennifer runs a tight ship but her level of management reflects in the actions of her staff- everyone looked happy and relaxed and seemed to be content in their jobs. All in all, we will definitely be back to this restaurant! Thank you for a great Tuesday dinner!! read more

Food was good, service was lacking and they now charge a dollar for all refills of sodas and ice teas. Ridiculous, I'll stick with water. I highly recommend the Modesto and Riverbank locations. read more

Well well well, for those of us who don't have a income to go out to eat all the time or who are living page to paycheck let me tell you about this place, so Applebee's decided to start charging one dollar for refills. Yes, you heard me correctly I was shocked after I had ordered and drank the first glass of soda. I spoke to the manager and she said that this is something that they had just started then I proceeded to contact corporate to make a complaint about this. There are some people that like to have two or three sodas and the cost of these drinks to a restaurant is only anywhere from $.10 to maybe $.20 believe me I know. So I for one and never going back it's not that great of a place and I have so many other wonderful places to choose. They're just not gonna treat me like that. I'm already subjected to leaving a tip or if you take a party of more than five or six people it's a mandatory gratuity that's not right if they feel that strongly about it, they should pay their employees a lot better and make better food. So I want you guys to be aware that that all you can eat chicken wings are breaded so much you barely get any chicken and they sauce the wings sometimes too much and they would only let you start with one thing at a time you can't even choose two no more however there are so many other places you can go to for when I'm not gonna put up with this if I have to I'll start eating at home but they need to understand the impact it's having on their business and the impact is having on customers. Please share this with everybody and anybody thank you very much. Have a wonderful day. read more

I went there 2 days ago had a waitress named Savannah, who was the worst waitress I've ever had. It took me an hour to get order for a hamburger and we couldn't get our drinks plus there's a manager there who is a male with glasses who literally would not leave us alone, it was total harassment. read more

In the shopping center area in Turlock off the 99 freeway is Applebees. Haven't been to an Applebees in a while. This time was pretty good one I can say. The service greeted the party right away. We got a booth and were waited right away by Monique the waitress. Monique did a great job. We also ordered the appetizer combo. The restaurant facilities were clean interior and exterior. Parking spots available on both sides of Applebees. They have special prices for happy hour and late night hours meals. Yes they are family friendly, date night, whatever occasion you choose. Definitely recommend you check out Applebees in Turlock. Check out the photos in this review. read more

Service was non-existent. Waited to be seated for 15 minutes. (There was 2 of us and we were ok in any seat.) Once seated several wait staff walked by.l, not one greeted us. The people seated after us were getting their order taken at which point we left. Just disappointed. read more

Always a great value for what you get the food we had was outstanding. They had the two for 25 and like I said what a great value the servers are awesome and very friendly atmosphere. read more

Walked in, tons of empty tables... asked for a booth, were told 10-15 for table of 2. Asked the hostess if they were understand, as she rolled her eyes and questioned me if I still Wanted to wait for the booth. I said yes, only because I have a gift card to spend. Our server was great but the hostess was an embarrassment for Applebees read more

Started off good with appetizer and drinks. Although I waited 1 hour for my food and I was not served. I ordered a simple burger with no substitutions and the waiter mentioned, "the kitchen got confused." Don't even know what that means or how a simple burger could be difficult. Very poor experience, I seen diners who were seated after me and ate their dinner and left before me. Will not return to this location. read more

First off service from our servers Chloe and Dustin? (I think their names are). WAS AMAZING AND GREAT and they are absolutely amazing. The food was pretty good and everything was going good. And then came time to close the check and pay and the Manager took my card and I asked for some boxes. She then proceeded to tell me that we are not allowed to take boxes for the all you can eat menu even leftovers you have. I continued to ask about this policy and she turned her back to me and continued to walk away and give me an attitude. Now I understand some people have bad days but you work in a customer serving role please act like it or choose a different career or job. If you can't handle a customer who is curious as to why he can't have some boxes for his food that he just bought there is no way you should be a manager at a restaurant of all places. To the staff you guys were amazing to the manager ... either resign and find new work that doesn't require you to speak to customers or people in person ... or take some sort of training on how to work in customer service. read more

It doesn't matter which Applebee's Grill I go to for a meal I always have a great lunch. The wait staff is always friendly and quick to get hot food to the table while still hot. read more

If you are vegetarian, do not go to this place. The vegetarian quesadilla is made with vegetables grilled on the same grill that they cook beef and other meat on... There are simply no options for vegetarians. The only other thing they offer is to order pasta with Alfredo sauce and nothing else on it... read more

The wait staff was friendly enough, but the food wasn't very good. My son's kids meal was not even lukewarm and my steak was cooked wrong twice, I wanted medium rare and they cooked it Well done both times. I just ate it eventually because everyone else was almost done eating and they took my plate to re make it twice. They told me afterward they couldn't cook it medium or rare because of the shape of the steak, (thick in the center football shape) so that's why it wasn't right. Why even ask me how I like it if it's not possible? lol Won't be coming back to Applebees unless someone invites me or something. Again the server was friendly, but that's not enough to make a meal enjoyable or worth the money. I got 10% off of a disappointing meal. read more

They need more servers to combat the wait times. Ribs are always good. Tonight our server was Janette. She should train all Applebees servers. Took our order to perfection by memory. Checked on us without being intrusive. Explained a deal for us and saved us $15. Best waitress I've had in a good long time!! AC was a bit cold but manageable. Pretzels are always on point and loaded mashed potatoes are amazing!!! read more

Great drinks and great appetizers. Love the wings and margaritas. John, AKA Frenchie, was our server. He was super friendly, fun, and helpful. He pointed out great deals we overlooked and made sure we knew about the deals other days of the week. If we were locals, I would ask for him to be our server every time! read more

Worst Applebees I have ever been too. Not just once but on multiple occasions it has been bad but I keep coming back to give it another shot because it's close and convenient. THE SERVICE IS GREAT. The food is horrible . Ordered this appetizer and it came out very cold. We turned it in and they re made it no problem. With one exception, the dip was microwaved and the wings were microwaved again. The coors light was completely flat and tasted very odd. That's the main reason I even came here was for a beer and appetizer. Do not come here, drive 15 min south to the Atwater location or 15 min north to Modesto. read more

Yesterday afternoon for Memorial Day I went with my family and we waited 15mins for us to be seated after the fact we had booked a reservation, after we were seated the waitress that had to work our table took 20mins to ask us if we wanted anything such as a drink. She was being rude from the start when she sat us down. My brother had politely ask the waitress what was the most recommend drinks that people usually likes getting here and she automatically replied to him saying "I don't drink so how am I suppose to know, ask someone else". My mother was asking about the "all you can eat meal" and the waitress rudely right away told her "that you be charged an extra all you can eat meal if you share your food with anyone from your family members at this table". Don't know what was bugging her to be like that during her shift but we felt harassed because she was just attacking us with her attitude. I didn't catch her name on her name tag but she was a lady with glasses. We told her we wanted someone else to help us out instead of her because how she was being toward us for no reason. She rudely stated she was going to have the bartender serve us if we wanted to. After she walk away for 20 more mins we all just decided to go somewhere else and ate peacefully at Texas Roadhouse and there service was 10x better! Shitty ass service from Applebees. read more

The food is mid. It's not giving grill and bar. It's giving cafeteria food. They need to clean their kitchen.

What a pleasant surprise! Haven't been to an Applebee's in years. The service was perfect. We were seated right away. Monique took excellent care of us. Caesar salad was fresh and crispy, with shaved parm and delicious dressing. Mom's salmon was prepared just the way she liked it(not too much Cajun spice). Ribs were tender and fell off the bone. Too bad I live out of state or I would definitely be back. In the way out, the host (Ben) saw my Mom and I leaving and jumped ahead of us to hold the door. This had been a rough travel day for me, but the kindness shown at this establishment turned my day around. Thank you!!!! read more

I love the food and the workers are so so nice and I think there making me want to work here when I'm older I think this was so good

I had a great experience being served by Alex. He greeted us within 2 minutes of being seated, checked on us multiple times while rotating through the restaurant, and when my husband's burger was brought out incorrectly he did everything in his power to make sure the problem was fixed and that we were taken care of. I live in LA, and am used to busy and distracted servers. He, however, was attentive and focused. We had a great time! The food was pretty good too. read more

Applebees issss....Applebees. Food is decent, I just don't ever think of coming here to eat. I had half a wrap with soup combo. Wrap was okay, just a tad too soggy. My tortilla soup was okay also. Service was fast and my server was nice. Thank you Mayra. read more

Alxsa was such an amazing host she's so welcoming and great vibes and salad bar was amazing.

I enjoy Applebee's for the most part however when I saw some serious kitchen foul ups I have a different take. First off Sunday at noon wasn't the best choice, that said we were seated next to the kitchen, I hade a view of all chaos between waitresses and cooks. It wasn't pretty, We too were caught up in that disaster. I saw many plates sitting at least 20 minutes under lights. I knew we were in for a wait with our wings and burger. The miscommunication between the waitresses and kitchen continued as boneless wings were dropped off instead of REAL wings. Boneless..? Really, it's compressed chicken parts, insult to injury, my burger was cold..so another 20 minuets later the wings were delivered. It was a disaster between staff. What really caught my attention was I saw a waitress filling out the survey on a tables kiosk! How low life when one fills out their own survey. read more

Ordered no onions and got onions, now I can't eat my mushrooms. When I told the waitress she replied, "oh, sorry about that" and walked away. Horrible service! Don't ask for any alterations in your meal because you'll be ignored. read more

Mayra was our server. Polite and friendly enough. Not too attentive. Addressed an issue with another server who was seen constantly with his fingers in his mouth. Disgusting as he was handling our food. He returned with our entrees after we asked that he not handle our food due to his nasty, and unprofessional, bad habits. The manager did comp 10%, but that wasn't what we were looking for. Just sanitized practice when handling the food of oth read more

Went here the other day and had a great time! The restaurant was pretty quiet and empty at the time we attended. Our server was very nice and we were seated and served quickly. We started with the pretzel sticks, which I absolutely recommend. They were warm and soft, served with cheese and honey mustard. Everything about those were amazing. I then had a small house salad with ranch dressing. I prefer my ranch on the creamier side, and this ranch was great. The lettuce was also nice and crunchy, not soggy or brown. Next I had a half rack of ribs and a side of mash potatoes. The ribs were awesome. I enjoyed the first few slowly then essentially mowed my rest through the rest of them. The meat was really good, not too dry at all and lots of sauce, which I prefer. I wouldn't recommend the mash potatoes. They had potato skins in them, which I don't love. The texture was fine, but they had what i can only describe as a funky flavor. I ended mixing them with the rest of my ranch, but I didn't finish them. One of the other members of my party ordered a burger, which she said was a bit on the oily side. The other member ordered the mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken. He liked it, but said they didn't really pair well together. Overall, I will be happily eating here again, but maybe choose something besides the mash potatoes. read more
