Had to wait for 25 minutes before someone took our order. Waitress were walking by us without acknowledging us.even the manager walked by us without acknowledgement. It was early in the morning and it wasn't that busy. One who seated us was no where to be found. Some seemed to go to only old people and the ones that were dressed nicely. As we were about to leave , a kind waitress finally approached us and apologized for everyone. She seemed well educated and mannered. Thanks to Jessica.W. she turned our horrible experience into nice one. Others should learn a thing or few from her. read more

Applebee's - not the best and not the worst. We had our ups and downs with the restaurant, but we love their 2 for $20 deal. This is why four stars were given. We been to Chilli's and their 2 for $20 does not compare to Applebee's, especially the appetizers. Applebee's appetizer come from their actual menu so you may reference what it is, where as Chilli's seem to have a cheap waterdown version of their appetizers and does not provide a variety to pick from. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do. It's a deal and doesn't even break the wallet! read more

So the night started out great, and the bingo host was fantastic. But unfortunately they don't honor bingo rules. Another person and I both won bingo, and only the other person got the prize. When I went to talk to the manager I told him "it isn't fair that the other person won over me" and he basically told me "better luck next time. You're right it's not fair." With attitude. I think as a manager you should have better experience in handling conflict and set an example of customer service to your employees. read more

1 star is being generous! We went in for the $1 drinks. 5 of us. When the waitress came over she welcomed us by saying "welcome to happy hour!". It was about 5:45pm. We decided to order our drinks first so she said she would be back to take our order. 20 minutes later, mind you it wasn't very busy, she came to take out order and said "oh sorry no more happy hour." Well it would have been if you hadn't been standing at the bar gossiping with 2 other employees and your manager. Although the manager made that situation right, another person at our table ordered all you can eat riblets and only got 1 plate because the waitress thought talking to coworkers was more appropriate then tending to her tables. We also ordered the chicken parm in which the chicken came out completely raw in the middle. Food sucked, service was the worst I have seen but those $1 drinks were at-least good. I will never return to this location. read more

Literally the worst place to go ever. It was the only place open in Turlock after 10 so we gave it a chance and immediately regretted it. The food was cold and you could tell it was poor quality freezer food, the fries were oversalted and soggy and the service was horrible. NEVER going to an applebee's ever again. read more

Horrible service by our server Gianna she was not attentive at all! We were Very disappointed

Applebee's only get two stars because their desserts are so good. I ordered a low calorie meal because the spinach cream sauce in a portabella mushroom sounded good. It was good but the serving size was so small. No wonder it was less than 550 calories. Two spoon fills and done. The service was subpar as well. Nobody smiled and they acted like we were an inconvenience to them. read more

Nothing extraordinary. Came today around 5, not busy at all. Was a table of 3 people, myself included. Went in, sat down waited about maybe 10 minutes until server came to ask us about drinks. Took a while for drinks, okay whatever. Gave our order, waiter repeated our order about 3 or 4 times, didnt write it down like waiters normally do, probably would've helped in this case. He went to input it on computer, came back and repeated order yet AGAIN. Kind of was starting to add to our frustration. Food comes out, but only HALF of our order came out, was told a few more minutes. Okay fine, but then a FEW minutes turned into FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!! WE WERE BEYOND ANNOYED! To top it off, other tables were experiencing the SAME thing! VERY disappointed! read more

Food here sucks. Bland ribs and my wives potatoes were cold. How do you make cold potatoes and send them out like that? The manager did buy us desert but the food quality is poor. I will skip this place next time. read more

Why do they have the tablet menus on the table if the servers are just going to screw up your order anyway? Yes, it's possible. They can and will. read more

I did not give this applebees one star to be harsh, that is the score it truly deserves. This review only refers to one venture to this applebees, but I have gone here before and had a very similar experience. It was busy, so I didn't expect immediate seating for me and my girlfriend, or even superbly prompt service, but the span of time from when we were seated to the time our server took our drink orders was about 12 minutes, and it was very obvious we were forgotten. For an appetizer we ordered the spinach dip, and after another 10 minutes we were reassured our 'mozzerella sticks' were coming right up. The waitress corrected herself after we looked very bewildered and 5 minutes later we got the spinach dip and a few crunched tortilla chips - far from enough for two people to share. She realized she forgot the salsa, so that took her an additional 5 minutes to find. Finally, our food came. My girlfriend got the bourbon chicken and shrimp, and I got chicken and fries. My food was pretty well crushed and mostly inedible, like they put a plate on it or something. My girlfriend's food just made her very nauseous, and it was obvious she was disappointed in how this all turned out. After we finished eating, we had to ask for the check after about 35 minutes of sitting, wondering where our waitress went. Our bill was picked up, but we never got any service after they got our money. I strongly advise against this restaurant. They are overwhelmed, and it shows in the finished product. My waitress even was bold enough to complain about her coworker to us before taking our order. I hope that this review affects someones opinion. read more

Better then I remember... But remember, I don't really think of these as "restaurant's" as much as u do "sit down fast food joints"

I'm from Riverbank and I had the absolute best service from the management and staff here in turlock. The food was great, and I have nothing but good things to say about the employees. I will be making this my primary bees! Great time with bingo! Great food! read more

Fast food good service we will back! Our waitress Gloria never let our glasses go half empty ! See you next time !

I love that this place is now open late. Sometimes I get off late from work and I could use a beer and a hot meal this place fits the bill now! read more

My friend and I came for dinner at 8:40 and the restaurant wasn't even that busy, our server didn't even come to ask us if we wanted anything to drink until another server came and brought us drinks. Than our server Jonathan came and took our order, after 40 minutes of waiting we decided to leave because we didn't get our food, and when I told jonathan we're just going to leave he said okay let me get your receipt. He didn't bother to make his costumer stay and happy, and also wanted to charge us for the food we didn't eat. We are really disappointed and not going back for sure!! and i will not recommend this restaurant to anyone anymore. read more

The half price appetizer deal is what has captured my love for Applebee's. Though I don't understand why they don't update the billboard, the half price appetizers really runs 3-6, then 9-close. I've never been disappointed with the selection; I opt for the mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, and (originally steak) brisket quesadillas. I love to take the leftovers home and have another meal or two from these delightful dishes. read more

I'll never go to another applebees again! First our server at this Turlock location was really rude... my brother asked for a drink menu and she said its not happy hour! Like you can only drink alcoholic beverages during happy hour!! Smh! And then we went to order our usual meal which are riblets platters and we get told that they no longer carry them!! Their whole menu is changed!! read more

Save yourself do not order anything from this establishment. I ordered a lunch for over 100 dollars to get picked up the waitress gave me the wrong order and she realized when I left that it was wrong did not call me. I had to call once I got to the place I was taking the lunch to (15 min later) talked to the manager Martin. They never apologized nor did he listen to me. Horrible customer service. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Applebee's is always good but this was our first time here in Turlock and it was so great. From the service to the food, we ordered the sliders for appetizers and they were delicious, strawberry lemonade was amazing even the tea was great! read more

Over priced and average food. No value in money spent. There are better options out there

Only reason I'm giving 3 stars and not 0 starts is because our waiter Angel was so hopeful and was very nice through out our whole visit. I got a steak and ordered it medium and the steak was raw in the middle. It was so disgusting I almost couldn't eat the sides that came with my meal because I clearly wasn't going to eat the steak. I offered to pay for the sides but Angel took care of it and was nice enough to take the whole meal off of our tab, which I greatly appreciate. This Applebee's service has decreased drastically over the last couple of months & it's sad because it was always a go to spot for me and my group of friends. After this visit I probably will not ever go back to this Applebee's because quite frankly the service and the food sucks and it's not worth it to spend my money here. But on the bright side our waiter was great and I appreciate how kind he was and how he handled the situation, so kudos to him! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Turlock, California

Came in on a Thursday night, when we arrived it seemed pretty full. As we were seated we were told our server would arrive shortly. I ordered a drink and spinach artichoke. Spinach artichoke came in pretty quickly however my glass of water took 20 min with no lemon that I ordered. As being a server myself I understand how crazy it can be when it's full but my gosh there were so many empty booths. I went up to the hostess to cancel my mixed drink since its been about 30 minutes since she asked for it . It took her about twenty minutes more to just even take our order. Ridiculous. About an hour I've been here and still no food and my first glass of water hasn't been refilled :) never coming again . read more

Service was good. Greeted and seated quickly. Waitress was prompt and friendly. Ordered the salmon. Was brought in a reasonable time. Did not care for the veggies. Steamed zucchini and spinach. Salmon was dry and to salty. I will return and try something different. read more

Awesome! 1/2 off appetizers after 9pm! What made it even better was our server, Ryan French, I believe was his name, we were seated on a high top in the bar area. Not too long after sitting down he approached us and was super attentive and genuinely nice. He was always checking up on us, making sure our glasses were full, asking how everything was. We even left there feeling like we made a friend! read more

It took us More than 30 min to get a cocktail at the longe area , tonight Sunday, I acutely had to go to the bar to order it myself. felt strange not to get service for so long very un comfortable kept walking by us , I hope it's not a racist establishment, read more

Our waitress was ashli and she was a terrible server. She took our order fine at first then we asked for water and a couple other little things and she left us waiting for 5-10 minutes and I had the call server light on and she ignored it and kept helping this one table and when she finally came, I told her what we needed and I had a little attitude since I got annoyed of her ignoring us and next thing I see is her talking to her coworker about something and that coworker just kept looking at me. Very unpleasant experience because of her. read more

I was on a business trip with a colleague and stopped at this restaurant close to 9 o'clock at night. When we entered the restaurant, we were seated right away. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us frequently. She even offered to delay my beer order so I could get a happy hour discount. The food was pretty good for Applebee's but the great service bump up the rating to 4 stars. If I am in the neighborhood again on business, I would definitely stop for a meal. read more

Immediately was greeted by Tessa at the door. She got us sat as soon as a table was available. While waiting (only the few minutes ) she made jokes and kept the energy alive in the waiting area. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Giving them three stars because this is the first and last bad experience I had at this place because of my experience tonight. We arrived and were told the wait would be five minutes and the booth that was initially going to be cleaned for us was cleaned by another waiter and given to a party of four that arrived about ten minutes after us. The waiter and the party of four seemed to be familiar with each other based on greeting. They prioritized acquaintances over regular business which is very unprofessional. The waiter that had originally told us it was a five minute wait sat another party of two that arrived after us as well. Overall just disappointed with the experience and when we tried to call to inform the manager on shift the phone was not answered. read more

I went to this establishment probably 2 times a week and considered myself a regular then just started to come because of Chris he bartenders perfect customers service,now I find out he no longer works there anymore I will not longer be going anymore for horrible food and even worse customer service thank you very much for loosing one of the best Employees you had. read more

My Uncle comes from San Diego every year for his birthday. His choice of place to eat is always Applebee's. This is the second year in a row that the staff here has forgotten even after being reminded. Last year at the last minute after a 3rd reminder they brought him a little dessert. Tonight we left with no acknowledgement even after letting the person who seated us know who said she would tell our server. She didn't tell our server but we reminded him 2 times. It is his 81st birthday and the last birthday we will spend at Applebee's. read more

It's very rare that I yelp and compliment good customer service. I'm a cancer survivor. I've had radiation to my face and neck. My speech is compelled and I'm hard of hearing. Our server brought over that manager, Nicole, to help us. She was the most patient and kind person... I completely appreciate her kindness, as do the entire staff off Stanford and Lucile Packard Hospitals. Bless your heart and soul. read more

Will give it a 3 since when I go I I always sit with katie. She always has a smile for my kids and me . We come in for a parent / kid date night and the boys just love her. Foods mediocre, and if theres a b problem it takes forever for a manager to show up. Other the. That its normal chain stuff read more

i rarely complain when i go to places like applebee's or chilis, because i know what i am getting myself into when i choose a chain restaurant like those. usually you just go for the atmosphere - the people are always friendly, the prices are okay, the food is good if not especially memorable... well for once an applebees really left an impression on me, and not a good one. some friends from out of town came to visit me and we went out to eat at applebees. our server basically acted like we were bothering her when we chose to eat in the bar where she was serving. when we called her over to ask if they could sub veggie burgers instead of beef, since we couldnt find it on the menu, she looked like she *resented* us calling her over to ask a question. the only time she smiled was when she brought me the wrong food item- i told her it wasn't what i ordered and she said "oops sorry!!" and was saccharin-sweet for one measly moment as she took away the wrong item. later, as i was catching up with these friends that i havent seen in half a year, she interrupted us to ask us if she could take our checks since she "wanted to enter her money and go home", so i stopped my conversation with my friend to pull out my wallet and remove my card and give it to her, the whole time thinking that she was the rudest waitress i have had in years. both my friends (who have both served for years) and i talked about how rude she was all the way to the car. i should add that i dont require a lot from a server for me to consider service good. i recognize that many servers are overworked, under paid, and a lot of stuff that can go wrong in a restaurant is out of there hands. literally, all i ask for is a good attitude. in this case, the restaurant was MORE than half empty, we were one of like two tables she had, and she still managed to make us feel totally ignored. Thanks DALIA for being one of the lamest waitresses ive come across in a long while. read more

No matter where you go for an Applebee's experience, it's going to be pretty much the same thing, same high calorie, fattening food. I came here because my mom chose it and it was convenient. I found the menu a little complicated with their lunch combo choices. I asked the server for some clarification which he did explain well but he got some of the details wrong on certain menu items. For example, the cajun shrimp pasta doesn't come with a heavy, creamy white sauce like he said it did. It made me glad to see that my entree came with a lighter sauce than what I expected. There are only 4 entree choices for the lunch combo and 2 of them are pasta, the other is fried chicken tenders (unless the server got that wrong too). Unless you go with a salad, just expect your lunch to be a high calorie and high fat meal. Between my mom and I, our bill for the 2 lunch combos came out to just under $20. The price isn't too bad. The service was mediocre. The food was average, not that much flavor. read more
