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

Turlock on a Friday night is busier than many towns in southern California. Desperate for a place that would fit the dietary needs of different generations. We choose Applebees there was a long wait. Thank goodness for the BAR! The staff and our wait staff were one of the best, very attentive and made sure we took advantage of the menu deals with our table of 6 persons. We had one issue with the kitchen forgetting an order but it was fine there was so much food we could share. my burger was just what I needed after a long days of hard work. read more

My husband and I ordered the boneless wings. His were ice cold. Mine were lukewarm if that. We got up and walked out. Didn't even finish. Too scared to ask for hot food, they might spit on it. Boneless Wings read more

This is no longer the Applebees that I have come to love and know. The food is sloppy and not very good. Really gone down hill. read more

My son chose Applebee's tonight for his birthday dinner. Victor was our server and he did a good job, even with them being understaffed. We started out with the triple dip chips appetizer. They were good, but the cheese seemed to have been sitting out for a while as it was not warm whatsoever. The salsa was so so but they guacamole was very good. I had the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp and I really enjoyed it! The chicken was moist, the shrimp were cooked great and the onions and mushrooms were great! The garlic mashed potatoes were good too! My wife had the broccoli chicken alfredo and she enjoyed it. We shared a drink called the Shark Bowl. It was good, but super, super sweet. We couldn't even taste the alcohol in it. That annoys me. Don't give me a watered down sugar drink with just a splash of alcohol in it. I don't need to get snockered with my drink, but I at least want to taste some alcohol in it if I purchase an adult beverage. It appears they may have done away with their happy hour for now. I could be wrong, but we were charged full prices for things I thought were happy hour specials. Again, I could be wrong about this, and I didn't want to bring it up to our server as it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, we had a nice time celebrating our son's birthday. 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

For an Applebee's, we are always impressed by this place. The food is hot and the service is pretty good. We've been here on several occasions and I would say it's a solid favorite for somewhere casual to dine in if we're not feeling like fast food. read more

Ordered FOUR CHEESE MAC & CHEESE WITH HONEY PEPPER CHICKEN TENDERS and when I opened at home there was no cheese on the pasta. At least there was next to no cheese and definitely no 5 cheese. It was horrible and for as expensive as it was...it was a waste of money. Picked up in turlock and opened in Los Banos. Wife's oriental chicken salad was good. read more

The place was not crowded at all, there were soooo many tables, the place was practically empty but there were people waiting to be seated. We were only a party of two and it we were told it was over a 10 min wait to be seated? Why? Tables were available, hardly anyone was there. People shouldn't have to wait if the availability is there. Seat your patrons and serve them drinks until servers are available to take their orders. We left, ridiculous how that place is run. read more

Absolutely the worst experience. We both ordered tthe all you can eat plate. Choice of rib keys, shrimp or boneless wings. They slow rolled us. Got here at 4:30 and 1 1/2 hours later were only on our 3rd plate. It's taking almost 20 minutes between plates. 7 small shrimp per plate and they rib legs were a joke. Don't waste your time. Not to mention they gave us the wrong ribs. read more

Seriously this place is empty. We had. Group of 4. It 3 were here with one on the way . We wanted to be seated Nd get appetizers started and were refused. Offered to change the group to three and we're decided that also. It's been a while since have been here and will be. While before I come back. The booth seated three as well four. So disappointed in the customer service in a near empty place. If I could give a zero I would. read more

I've come to this location various times and let me tell you it is the worst! Especially with the service oh my goodness! There's been plenty of times i've had encounters with Amanda and with Mario specifically and They are plain rude. If you do NOT want to experience bad service do not come here. But yesterday really was the icing on the cake. I went in just my husband and I per usual and they were yelling at man getting all up in his face and cussing at him in front of CUSTOMERS! to say the least! This is absolutely out of line! I ended up walking out because I am not dealing with this anymore! Applebee's you NEED NEW WORKERS or they are going to drive all customers away like they did with me! Would give it 0 stars but yelp makes me give 1. Ambiance is TERRIBLE. read more

How can you call the Turlock Applebees to place a Togo order and they answer the phone and put you on hold for 23 minutes. When you pull up the person that has placed you on hold is outside serving curve side customers. When you walk in the location the phone is sitting on the table off the hook and two employees including a manger is standing there texting and having a conversation. Girl walks in from curbside and Sally's oh shit i forget the person on hold and you say yes I just drove 23 minutes. read more

Ordered food online through Applebee's website for delivery and was shorted on a big part of my over $100 order and neither door dash or Applebee's would bring me the food that was missing. I was told by Applebee's to contact door dash myself cus they wouldn't do it and I didn't even have a way to contact them. Once the driver got here they let me know that they weren't going back to get it and when I contacted Applebees about it I was told that I would get a credit back to my card for the missing items but so far nothing! Very disappointing all the way around!! read more

Arrived as they were opening. 11:00AM We were first seated in a booth that had broken down seating. Absolutely no padding. We asked to be moved and were told many of the seats cushions were broken down. However the server did find us a booth that was better. The only problem was there were cobwebs in the corners of the window. Of course the window was filthy. Light fixture above our table was filthy as were all the other light fixtures in our view. While waiting for our food we swatted flies. Note. They had just opened. The hamburger and fries were good but we could not even eat the chicken wings. They were terrible/mushy. The server tried her best apologizing for the long wait. 0 rating read more

This is by far the worst place or even Applebees ever, Applebees was my favorite since years and now it's falling out for me especially at the Turlock location definitely not how it should be anymore. Customer service is by far the worst here. I was told I would get charge for the sauce that comes with the wontons when I received it, the sauce wasn't even near half way full mind you it was even in those small black containers then I got told I won't end up being charged for it. The employees took forever to help me at my table. Had my food cold sitting. I Didn't get no napkin or silverware, I had to get up to go ask the talkative employees in the corner after waiting. There were tables next to me that were dirty the entire time since I was there while customers were waiting to be seated. read more

Went in tonight for a family dinner. Restaurant is half empty No one in line we're the only one's at the time. Waitress took our name down and said its about a 30 minute wait time. I looked around around and said this place is empty who we waiting for? She shrugged and said we can waited outside if we'd like. I waited a year to come back to the same crappy service. Please don't waist your time or money here. read more

I've been coming here for long time and I just love Applebee's it's always open late! I've been getting amazing service from MICHAEL and want to give him a thumbs up for always making sure the table is clean and making sure we don't need a refill without having to ask for one. read more

Ordered curbside here for the first time this year, and very satisfied with my he whole experience. Everything to the app and the pick up process was very easy and seamless. Ordered for whole family and easy to pick and choose what toppings or no toppings you want on each order. I drove up and called the restaurant and didn't have too. The lady immediately brought out my food. Pretty cool. Food was brought home, and was fresh and delicious. No issues. no wrong order, nothing. Everyone was satisfied. Will come here again soon. Keep it up read more

This place is terrible. It will take forever to be seated. Once seated it takes about an hour for a server to come to you. Then an hour or two for your food. This would be ok if the food tasted good but it doesn't. This is coming from a server. So you know it's actually that bad. I can't believe a place like this has any business. I am usually lenient but I could not recommend this restaurant to a anyone. read more

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at Applebee's our server was Tara. I've worked in the restaurant industry for 3 years now and she by far is one of the best servers I've ever had. She's very friendly and accommodating. She was constantly checking on us making sure we had everything we need and was even the person who answered the phone when I called ahead earlier in the day. Overall she made our close to 2 hour dining experience amazing. read more

We came tonight, there was 6 people total, we were 4 already there waiting for our table for 30 minutes. This girl refused to get us a table until all people were here. This had never happened before! We asked her a second time if we could please get a table, we asked her in Spanish and she was acting like she didn't knew Spanish. We had to ask another server for the table, and when she was putting the tables together for all 6 people, she turned around and looked at us up and down. They need better servers! read more

Pretty good food, adult beverage are pretty yummy and cheap even the $1 beverage is good. Place is always busy and full but lots of tvs to watch. read more

I've been to my fair share of Applebee's in my day, but I have to say that my meal at this particular one was almost inedible. I think a large part of the reason for my tasteless rubbery meal was striving to order something healthy on the menu. I scanned the menu hard trying to find a dish without dairy and too much meat. I opted for the Teriyaki Shrimp Pasta. Big mistake. The noodles were overcooked and cold. Most of them stuck together. The vegetables lacked taste and while the shrimp were tasty enough - I still had trouble digesting them. Tiny little pink things - hidden amongst the bleh of the rest of the dish. Service was friendly here, and the company was wonderful, I just wish that the food rose to the occasion as well. Trust. read more

We have been there twice and both times they won't seat us because the kitchen is behind. I could understand if the restaurant was full but it isn't. Probably won't try again, the Roadhouse next door will seat us. read more

Pretty disappointed with our experience last night. We waited about 45 minutes to be seated because apparently our name got crossed off the list. When we finally seated I ordered a margarita with extra salt on the rim. When I got my glass there was salt on maybe a 1/4 of the rim. I asked our server if he could get more salt on it, he brought it back with salt all over the actual glass, not just the rim. Even our food wasn't the best. I had a big lettuce butt in my salad. We'll be going to the Modesto establishment from now on. read more

Service was bad orders weren't right took a while to get the stuff and had to set things back there's also flies in there

This Applebee's has all the same fair as the rest, no surprise. It is clean and the food is Ok. The reason for the three stars is it seems when I have been to other locations the same dishes are often better and the wait times to receive your food is much shorter. Perhaps management could do some quality control. I will return and hope some improvements in the food and wait times can improve. The Won Ton Tacos are great! read more

Ryan was my server and he had a bad attitude worst server ever. He was so annoyed when all we got were apps and drinks and he was being a HATTTEER!! read more

I've dined here several times, and the food always seems a little lacking to me. Don't get me wrong the food is not horrible, it's just ok. Which is a shame because the service is usually pretty good, they have a full bar, and the place has a laid back comfortable feel. During my most recent visit here, I had the ribs, they were a little on the dry side and not as tender as I like. (My experience has been similar with thier steaks and burgers) Unless I'm only coming here for a couple of drinks and an appetizer, this place is on the list of restaurants I'll only go to if someone I'm dining with really wants to eat here. There are just too many choices to continue getting mediocre (at best) meals. read more

I've been here a few times, but this is the first time I'm writing a review, simply because I usually only write good reviews. Adriana did a great job! We sat in the bar area for Happy Hour, so she was rather busy, but she was attentive, with perfect timing. The drinks and food came out on time, and were prepared perfectly. read more

I normally don't ever get on yelp to share my experiences... even the bad ones. But it's a different story this time. I myself work at two restaurants as a server and I know very well what good customer service is. I would even be happy with a 'decent' service but wow! To start this off, we were never greeted properly. Never heard a 'hello' from the waitress, all she said was "I'll be with you guys in just a second" while literally just walking by, meaning we barely heard her. Yes, she was busy. But all her tables had gotten their food so I couldn't understand what the chaos was all about. Second of all, two of our drinks were wrong, one of them being mine. I specifically asked for a mango margarita but was brought a lime margarita. Not to mention, the host (Ronnie, super friendly and great service) was the one who brought our drinks and the bartender (McKenzie) brought my drink which I said was the wrong one and she started giving me all these excuses, insisting that it was actually "mango" flavored. I went ahead and said it was lime and all I got as a response was an eye roll and she simply walked away. Long story short, I spoke with the manager and he said he'd have a talk with her, not sure if that even happened. Also, usually as a manager, if one of your tables has that much trouble because of your employees, you'd think to maybe comp an item, offer a desert, or try to at least make it up to them, but we also did not receive that courtesy. read more

Happy hour, happy hour, and happy hour! Appetizers half off and beers half off! It's a great deal. We ordered the artichoke dip and it was not warm. While snacking on the chips and the cold dip, we were enjoying their beers! They have a variety and it's pretty cheap! The wings and shrimp were tasty but not the best! Definitely recommend happy hour deals......offered during the day 3-6pm Monday -Saturday & 10-closing every night. The atmosphere is great! They have music and show all the games at their bar. It's a lively environment and it's open late! In the end we would like to rename Applebee's to Applebeer's read more

When seated our server Tyrell was good and felt bad for him as the delays impacted he and other servers I am sure. Then the food I received (riblets) we BURNT!

The service I received this evening was the worst! I sat in the waiting room over 30 minutes. The hostess was terrible when I first got there they called three names nobody responded so they kept going off the list. How hard is it to write somebody's name down and how many people are with them? If only went up and asked the girl how much longer when she said oh There's an X by your name when I did not get called. This is the second time Applebee's has let me down. read more
