Great great service a nice place to hang out with friends after work to grab a quick bite to eat or just sit and talk and enjoy the game on the multiple television screens read more

See all

The food was very good. However it took a long time for them to bring it out to us. The waiter was nice but I feel bad for her. Me and my boyfriend went with a group of friends and two of our friends were way too drunk, because they thought a great time to get drunk was at Dave and Busters right before this. And they were very loud, sorry to everyone who was there and had to deal with that. Would eat here again. read more

Zero stars! Not even worth of 1! The absolute WORST service ever. Applebees is going down hill. Went in for just an appetizer, it took 25 minutes for them to get there, COLD. Not to mention, the hostess seemed so strung out on who knows what. Zero sense of urgency. OH and the bar was completely out of everything draft, and I heard the bartender say they didn't have a bar tender for tonight- no worry! They don't have drinks! One more thing, the strung out hostess dropped a pile of silverware on the ground in front of us, set them aside. Then 15 minutes later gave the same silverware from the ground to an elderly couple!!!! So sanitary!!!! Do not recommend. Will never return. Poor management at every location I've been too in the last year! The regional should be ashamed. Better service at McDonald's! read more

The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the staff was friendly. Do not waste your time ! We got to the restaurant at 5:30 . Sat by 5:45 which was good since it was a Saturday and we had 14 people. Didn't get water on the table til 6:20. Apps by 7 only because I asked the manager to help our server whom was definitely in the weeds. Our actual dinner took 45 min to get to the table. Another 45 to cash out. Staff, under trained, food ok, wait times ridiculous! Didn't leave the restaurant til 8:45! I did over tip our server because this poor girl was thrown to the wolves ! read more

Food was amazing service was great They were quick n fast Our waiter was amazing she made her everything was good n checked on us throughout our meal 10/10 must go read more

Was told 15-20 wait by the little young lady that dances in the back and vapes in the corner. She did not seem to be a team player when short staffed. She should be fired. I saw her grab 2 glasses off a dirty table and that was the extent of her helping her struggling coworkers. The wait ended up being 1 hour and 20 mins. I wonder why? Her teammates did an ok job with the food. Dos 12/30/25 905 pm. Won't be returning to this establishment. read more

They just need to close. The food is horrible! And. I had a salad! Don't bother. Go somewhere else

The food was delicious. Our waiter, Jordan, was great, cracking jokes and lightening the mood. The ambiance was perfect, too. I would recommend it 10/10! read more

horible service long waits and messed my order up im never coming here again this place sucks

This place has gone downhill. I know that it is difficult to find employees but if you do find them, put some effort into grooming them to be presentable to the public. I appreciate ALL restaurant workers but some things get under my skin when I encounter them like: super-duper slow service, complaining by the server, unkempt server. We arrived at 7:30pm it was a slow Tuesday evening. Our server, a porky lady, literally shuffled/waddled over to us. She was pleasant. Our order for fettuccini, soup and a rice bowl meal ($40.00 bucks for this meal, no dinks) arrived 50 minutes after we put in our order. While passing the time I watched as other servers moved quickly and used trays to deliver items. I watched our server as she slowly maneuvered to a nearby table cradling two large soda drinks with her arm pit, pressed against her chest while she held two other drinks in each hand. What happened to using a tray? I couldn't believe she actually had two drinks pressed up against her body! At 8:45pm a nice slumbering 1 hour and 15 minutes since we arrived (greeted by a frowning hostess) we finally received our bill along with the server saying how her legs hurt, she ached all over and that her shift ended at 9pm and she couldn't wait to go home at which point, I exclaimed, that I too was looking forward to leaving and going home! She didn't get the hint. If she thinks bellyaching about her woes will get her a bigger tip she was wrong. We did tip 18%. I got up and asked the bartender for a box for mom to take home her meal as we didn't want to wait another 10 minutes for that item. We will not be returning. I'd rather heat up a can of soup than experience that ridiculousness again. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Be prepared for a long wait for food to arrive. - American Near Me - Utica, Michigan

It was just ok my wife's salad was not up to par and my steak was tuff and hard to chew.

Good food. We came a family of four. Place was not full but quietly busy with lot of people sitting in all the tables around. Our server Patrick was lively, polite and fast to take orders. Pretty simple orders but he forgot the soup. We were not too keen into it, so did not mind too much I guess. We enjoyed our time eating here tonight. read more

The food!!!!! The food was tasting weird, me and my friend ordered a plate of Alfredo and it tasted horrible. The noodles were crunchy for some reason, also another one of my friends ordered a plate of wings I asked her how did it taste she said it tasted horrible and now her stomach hurts. Who ever comes here please hope the food tastes better than ours, (ps we didn't eat any except 1 bite) read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Classic Broccoli Chicken Alfredo - American Near Me - Utica, Michigan

Three stars because the server was outstanding and the Food was good (appetizers and house salads). No stars for the fact that we waited 40 minutes for our salads and another 10 for the appetizers. The server seemed intimidated by the kitchen staff and apologized profusely. (Not his fault). We were offered a free dessert, which was nice. This, however, took another 15 minutes, so we asked for it to go. From the time we sat to the time we left, 90 minutes had passed. Back of house needs a fire under their keisters. Please note that front of house is not to blame. This is becoming a pattern. read more

Food is always amazing. Service is top tier. They create a welcoming environment for people of all ages!!!

Poor service. Waiter came to our table and just stared at us. Did not ask what we would like so I just said can we get water. He seemed like he was on drugs read more

I ask for a ribeye well done and it was medium rare. And it took over 20 minutes to give me a new one.

STAY AWAY.... 6 of us were there for dinner and experienced the worst service I have ever had. It took uver 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order. The waitress/bartender delivered our drinks and never came back. After our drinks were gone I had to get another round at the bar and I ask for someone to take our food order. Someone finally came to the table 15 minutes later. Half of the guest got there food, the others never did. What made this even worse is the manager was there but I couldn't speak to her because the were already people complaining to her. Again, stay away. read more

Love the place great food great people Love the atmosphere they play some really dope music read more

Not impressed with this Applebee's. Wait staff yelling to each other across the restaurant, our waitress coughing into her hands and not sanitizing or washing afterward, clear dissension between employees (literally heard our waitress say another employee was "about to get on my nerves"), had to ask for napkins, drinks were never offered to be refilled, our waitress was on her phone several times while we were there. Definitely won't go back. Food and drinks were decent though. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Chicken tenders platter with sides - American Near Me - Utica, Michigan

It is good for what it is. It's a family friendly restaurant and the server was very kind and attentive. There are some healthy options that include meat but if your looking for vegetarian your options are pasta or fried cheese sticks. I wish they would have a healthier vegetarian option but the chicken and mashed potatoes were good. We came on a Thursday night around 6 PM and we were sat right away. read more

Terrible service, me and my family waited so long for our food and the employees that worked there was so unprofessional, one young lady was on the phone and they never had anybody come to ask my FAMILY if we were ok or anything. I wouldn't recommend this place for a dog. read more

Samantha J at the Utica location has been my server twice now and both times she exceeded my expectations. the most recent time I went it was super busy, she was training a new hire and she kept getting tables (literally if one walked out, it was being filled immediately). She kept my drink full, my appetizer came out quick , my food came out considerably fast, and she checked on me more than expected for it being so busy. she even stopped to share a few laughs and to even update us on where everything was at while we waited for food. an absolute amazing experience thanks to an amazing server!!! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Utica, Michigan

SLOW... I love Applebees. I was just disappointed in waiting over an hour for my first round of unlimited boneless wings and then the constant wait in between the servings was disappointing. The wings were over cooked, which means they had been sitting under the heat lamp for too long. Overall disappointed with this location. read more

To start off I never review places. walked in the door not even greeted never even acknowledged me or my family. Get seated, wait to order at least 15 min. order food and a beer. forget food and don't bring silverware. Beer sat at the counter for over 15 min. claimed it was due to other orders in front-of mine. I clearly saw it sitting there. left the restaurant called talked to manager and she "Rachel" said she knows her staff needs work. I would avoid this place if you can or ask for another server than who I got. The server was Matthew, gothicly dressed staff member. read more

Good clean place, staff are very nice. Delicious grilled chicken with mushrooms, my favorite.

My first time ever trying Applebees and will be my last. Decided to go in after I saw an amazing review on tiktok. However, this Applebee's was dirty, the waitresses were rude and loud, and the food was disgusting and cold. I went with my sister and my fiancé. I got my food before all of them, my sister got her plate 15 minutes after. At a restaurant, that's meant to sit families I would expect to get all plates at or around the same time. When handing over my drink, the waitress held my cup from the top- with her fingers in my drink. Who does that? I wouldn't recommend ever going here. read more

We arrived here on a Friday night (Pay Day) around 6:30 p.m. for a summer dinner and Strawberry dollarita's. Brain freeze time! After walking in the door there was no waiting although the place was mostly filled with guests already and many tv's going with sport games. We were seated quickly and were greeted by our waiter, Alexander M. or he was called Alex. Then off he went for 2 ice waters. To clear the air and I will attach my bill and to say I drank only 3 of the 6 strawberry dollars. :) I am always happy and satisfied to stop in here many times a year and enjoy something new on the menu. Applebee's offers many great choices from burgers, fish, chicken, steaks, sandwiches, salads and many combos to name a few favorites. To start off the evening meal was an appetizer of 4 pretzel sticks and their tasty beer cheese dip to help with keeping the $1.00 margaritas coming for refills. Alex our server was busy in the area with other tables yet was personal enough to chat briefly then check and chat with us before we ordered. I always wait to order my food once the appetizer arrives to allow time for cooking instead of being rushed. A perfect idea to always use as reference at any place to eat. I ordered the Cedar Planked Salmon with a mustard glaze, chessy mac and cheese with diced bacon bits and crispy broccoli. It was a delicious choice of seafood from start to finish. YES I cleaned my plate. (I am a member of the clean plate club). My spouse enjoyed 3 beef brisket tacos, with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and seasoned salsa from start to finish with a messy plate since the tacos were stuffed well and crispy fries. Besides Alex our waiter checking on us frequently, the evening manager, Jen stopped by to chat and confirm our service and meal was acceptable. She also spoke about the value with our feedback by mentioning to complete the survey on our bill after check out. Yes I did since I also do surveys to the good or bad at a business. Great service and personality with conversation, from Alexander M. our server. I also donated $5.00 for the charity of the month or summer which was JDRF ( Diabetes) therefore, our appetizer was free and $7.99 off our bill. My opinion : Applebee's has always BEEN the perfect place to visit since it was built here in the 90's ? any time of the year or season with a relaxing atmosphere, great service, delicious food, and well blended mixed drinks or other beverages. They also offer BOGO prices or half off many times of the year. Military Monday's = 30% off (see photo) So Compared to TGIF on a Friday?? Stop in HERE instead! They also offer CarSide To Go. You Call It In. They Bring It Out! read more

First and last time coming here, came with my girlfriend and her dad for the first time to try, the bartender was really nice and his service was great(was our server) the biggest problem of it all was of course the food, I ordered medium sirloin steak came close to raw, my girlfriend ordered medium too hers came well done, on top of all of that the steak tastes as if it was taken out of the freezer. Mashed potatoes were lukewarm so cold pretty much, overall the food was terrible the Bartender(our server) did a good job, go to a proper steakhouse if you want steak that's all I can say. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - 8 oz. Top Sirloin - American Near Me - Utica, Michigan

I usually don't have anything bad to say about applebees, but this location was the worst one we've been too. for starters it was a 30 min wait, which is fine I get it, when places are packed it's a wait. we got sat down and was greeted. we placed our order right away because we already knew what we wanted. It started with us only having one pair of silverware, and took us asking multiple people to get another one. when we got our drinks, I had to ask 3 different people to get us straws because we never got them. we then waited almost an hour before we even got our main course, which then came out ICE cold. I didn't even touch my food. the waitress kept disappearing after we asked her for something (straw, refills, etc.) and she didn't have many tables (us and 2 other tables). My appetite and night was 100% ruined and we won't be returning‍ read more

Food took forever to come out! When the food came out, my mashed potatoes were cold. One grandson had hot hamburger, cold french fries. Other grandson had hot chicken strips with cold french fries. Wife ordered the appetizer platter with the boneless wings plain, they were not plain they were smothered in some sort of hot sauce. 15 minutes went by and we still had not received her replacement boneless wings, when we finally received them, they were cold, had been finished, but just sitting back there. Place was almost empty, that should have been our first clue, and the employees were sitting around playing on their cell phones. I ask one of the young ladies if she could get some bbq sauce for our autistic grandson that did not get any with his chicken strips, she said you know your going to have to pay for that and proceeded to sit right there and play on her cell phone! The final straw was when we ask for catsup, twice, from two different servers, finally got what we were told was catsup, turned out to be marinara sauce! About that time, I ask to see the Manager! The manager came out, covered in head to toe with sweat, it appeared she was the one cooking back there. After I vented about how my wife and I honor all Applebee's for so many years, love coming to them to this very day and how after this experience, will never ever set foot in another Applebee's as long as we live! She said: I'm sorry, is there anything we can do to make this right? I responded with you have an empty restaurant? The employees are sitting around playing on their cell phones!!! I pointed at the one waitress and said she wouldn't even go get me a frikkin BBQ sauce for my grandson without assuring me I was going to have to pay for it and proceeded to sit right there playing on her phone, am I in a time warp or something??? This is absolutely absurd! The Manager, who I could see had absolutely no control of her employees, the restaurant or anything else, she simply said fine: I will COMP your entire meal and hope you come back again sometime. SURE HOPE THE POOR LADY DOESN'T HOLD HER BREATH, I WILL NEVER, EVER SET FOOT IN ANOTHER APPLEBEE'S AGAIN! PERIOD! read more

Love this place, it's my favorite!! Really good food and service!!!!! Everyone is always friendly here
