Chicken Quesadilla
Anna A.

I have trauma from past Applebees experiences but this one cured it. The Shirley Temple was perfectly carbonated and sweet, a great pairing with the cheesy quesadilla. Service was fantastic as well.

After doing some shopping, my little one suggested we go to Applebee's since we were already in the mall. When we walked in, there was on one in the front greeting guest,we waited almost 15mins to be seated. The restaurant was empty, we sat at a booth. My boys ordered the unlimited boneless chicken $15.00 & unlimited chicken tenders $15.00. I ordered the southwest shrimp bowl $18.99. The food was basic. The manager and our server made rounds , checking if everything was okay.

11/22/25 2 stars - Only because the bartender was sweet. I tried the 2 for $25 at Applebee's in Black Acres (aka Green Acres) and it was a huge disappointment. I've eaten at the Westbury location before and it was good, but this location? No thank you. We usually go to TGI Fridays and decided to switch it up. Bad idea. We sat at the bar, and honestly the bartender was the highlight of the whole visit. Sweet, funny, and she must've called me 10 different pet names in an hour. Loved her energy. The food? Not the same story. My sister's mozzarella stick was the only thing that tasted right. I cheated on my usual bone-in chicken and ordered boneless--NEVER again. It was greasy, heavy garlic parm, and just plain bad. The grilled cheese burger tasted like they slapped it together and threw it on the grill. No seasoning, no flavor. The tomato soup was also a miss. The food may look good jn my photos, but it wasn't good. It was four in my party and no one finished there food. Needless to say, I won't be back. TGI Fridays 2 for $20 stays undefeated--better taste, better quality, every single time.

I happened to come here for an early lunch and everything was delicious. Everything was hot and tasty. The service was great and the same vibes as usual. Nice light music. I'll definitely be back. Our server was amazing also

Caesar Side Salad
Lucie T.

My sister and decided to try this location at Green Acres Mall. We haven't had AppleBees in years. This location there are plenty of parking spots at the mall . It was Sunday afternoon so surprisingly plenty of seating spots were available. We ordered Caesar salads, boneless wings, chicken fajitas and oriental salad. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I had the rum punch which was strong and refreshing. The ambience and service were amazing, quick and promptly. Will definitely try them again.

I went on a Saturday night at about 10:00. I was very surprised it was empty. I guess date night is earlier I got an impossible burger outside salad and mozzarella sticks. Don't judge me I was hungry. The food was fine and just as expected for Applebee's. The mozzarella sticks was a good amount portion, what's salty. Probably wouldn't get it again Just so you know at that time of night the appetizers are half price

My goodness, this restaurant seems to compete in providing the worst service. I went here to eat with my family, and every dish they brought out was a disaster. And the waitress is entirely to blame, and I'll explain why: if you took the order and didn't pass it correctly to the cook, it's your fault. If it was the cook who didn't give you what you ordered, you shouldn't have brought the food to the customer. Your duty is to tell the cook, 'This is wrong, correct it.' I understand one mistake, but every dish is already a sign of inegligence.

Applebees Christmas
Shawnie J.

They were busy and yet found a way to be attentive so A+ for service. Applebees is a place I eat at least twice a year and I always get my famous mozzarella sticks with honey mustard on the side which they forgot to give me BAH HUMBUG! I can't go into detail about other food because I've tried other dishes years ago and they are just not for me. Regular Applebees ambiance with a touch of holiday flare and clean no weird bleach smells.

When you want a meal you can rely on to be just what you expected, you go to Applebee's. Since 1980, this family friendly establishment has been More of a Friday night staple than TGI Fridays ever was.

Natalie L.

Went to eat for lunch/ happy hour. It was not crowded, seated right away, friendly staff. This restaurant has improved, staff clears the tables right away, your not sitting and waiting, the food is hot. Next time I will try the half price appetizers and drinks after 10pm everyday of the week.

Kelly S.

Location was busy, drinks were fast and delicious. The ambience was like "Applebees". I would definitely visit again because you can actually taste the drinks if you know what I mean

Kids Hamburger
Aly N.

The food was decent for the price. You get what you pay for....I would definitely not order the Caesar salad but everything else was okay. The service was subpar. Although my server was friendly she was forgetful and gave terrible recommendations. We also sat with food and no drinks for over 10 minutes. Not even the water we asked for and after that we weren't offered refills til long after the sodas and waters were done. The drinks are excessively watered down & the bartender moves as slow as a turtle. Would I come here again no...but it's not terrible for a quick lunch.

We just popped in on a rainy day to eat an early dinner they just opened but everything looked…read moregreat Min sat us and was an excellent waiter so kind and helpful ! We have ordered pick up but sitting in the restaurant was much nicer! They do hibachi but we just ordered from the regular dinner menu. First they bring out a lovely tray of appetizers kimchi, broccoli and macaroni salad , and more ! Then the main course oh I also had a MANGO MAI TAI which was sooo delicious (alcoholic drink) ok ! They make Shirley temples for the kids. We had beef short ribs two different styles one in a bowl Gobdol style and LaGalbi with onions and white rice also bbq sauce ! Desserts looked good but we were too full ! Very nice dinner no complaints Was 4:30pm so it was not crowded but I'm sure people are there on weekends , there's a full bar and TV's for sports !! Check it out it's nice for a local spot in Valley Stream! Parking lot too!

Maybe it was a miss when we came here. We came here to eat for my birthday…read more We ended up ordering Hibachi meals, as we didn't want to do the BBQ option until we tried the food itself. My plate came out hot, but my rice came out lukewarm. It wasn't hot at all, which was strange. Then, another plate ordered came half hot, meaning half of the plate was cold. How does this even happen? So we had both sent back to ask for actual, hot food. I'm unsure if they cooked the rice more or just microwaved it, as it was more on the mushy side and tasted a bit "burnt" when it came back. The other plate did come back hot this time. The food itself was just alright. I've went to other hibachi spots where the food was more flavorful, the sauce slaps and it actually came out hot. The service was alright as well, but it was a bit strange that we somehow were served warm and cold dishes. We had drinks as well, the LIIT was good and the margarita was too. In total, we paid about $140 for 4 drinks and two hibachi entrees. Except, nothing about this experience felt like it was worth $140. I'm glad we didn't take up their offer to do BBQ or we would've paid way more for a mid experience. I wouldn't come again. There's way better out there and for way better prices.

I had a great night here and the servers all were friendly and delivered everything right on time. I highly recommend this place for a good vibey night out!

I remember this spot being a horrible red neck bar with rude bartenders and disgusting service…read more Not anymore. Awesome neighborhood spot. Came here on Saturday night after a Dru Hill concert in Jersey that ended early (around 9:30am), and since I had a babysitter for the night, I begged my husband to take me someplace for a quick drink since we live in Valley Stream. We got there around 10:15 and stayed until midnight. Paid a $20 entry fee for hubby (they said it was a special R&B night). That annoyed me since again, it's a neighborhood spot. Once we were in there though, the music DEFINITELY made it worth it. I was jammin. The DJ hit every song that made me stand up from my chair and dance. Beautiful, light skinned bartender (with a gap) gave us excellent, attentive service - even once it got crowded. The other beautiful, darker skinned bartender with a head scarf - not so much. That one pretty much ignored us the entire night and paid more attention to serving her friends at the bar. We ordered hookah with one guy and apparently he never put the order in because a table full of women who came in after us got their hookah before us. Once I saw that, I told my husband to cancel ours, which he did. Then a younger gentlemen who was handling the hookah walked by and I complained to him about making a table full of women priority over a couple who was there 20mins before them. He was actually very apologetic and offered to make our hookah asap. We accepted and it was great. Definitely got a buzz. Get the mango and mint. We ordered wings and they never came. Bathroom was super clean. Crowd was mixed with early 30's to late 40's - which was perfect since I'm 41. Don't bother with the fruit punch they have at the bar - they make it straight and offer to mix it with whatever alcohol you want, but it's extremely bland and looks MUCH better than it tastes. Most importantly - I felt safe. We'll definitely be back when we have another mommy/daddy date.

I recently visited TGI Fridays, and overall I had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was…read morewelcoming, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly from the moment we arrived. Our server Nickisha was attentive, checked on us throughout the meal, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The food arrived hot and fresh, and the portions were generous. Everything was flavorful and prepared just as ordered. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a bit of a wait for our food, but the quality made it worth it. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I'd definitely return. If you're looking for a casual place with good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere, TGI Fridays is a solid choice.

9/18/2026 MIXED BAG THIS REVIEW -- TGI FRIDAYS…read more So y'all... I gave TGI Fridays another try -- on a Friday! TGIF, right? I started with the 3-for-All pot stickers, and let me tell you: THE POT STICKERS WERE DELICIOUS! They came out nice and hot, full of flavor, and were easily the best thing I ate. Honestly, pot sticker it up! I could probably order those as my entrée and be perfectly happy. Next up was the $5 margarita. It was okay, but it tasted more like juice than a margarita to me. I had to add another shot of tequila to give it a little help. After that, we were good! The bartender was nice and the customer service at the bar was good. Then came my bacon cheeseburger. I ordered it medium rare, but it arrived well done. And that wasn't even the biggest problem -- the burger was basically room temperature. No heat, no steam, nothing that made me feel like this burger had just come off the grill. Meanwhile, my fries were nice and hot. It honestly seemed like the burger had been sitting there waiting for the fries to finish. I spoke with the manager, Mr. Neil, and this is where TGI Fridays earned some points back. He was extremely polite, understanding and receptive. He looked at my ticket, saw exactly how I ordered the burger, and understood immediately why I wasn't happy with what I received. I've had a couple of other not-so-great experiences with TGI Fridays, but Mr. Neal asked me to give them another try. My sister LOVES going to TGI Fridays in Valley Stream when we're out shopping, so chances are I'll be back. Mr. Neil also took the burger off the bill, which I appreciated. Great management and excellent handling of the situation. Thank you again, Mr. Neil, for your patience and professionalism. And y'all know I check the bathroom! When I visit restaurants like TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc., I always check the restroom. To me, the cleanliness of the bathroom can tell you a lot about how a restaurant kitchen is being maintained. THE MIXED BAG THIS VERDICT Pot Stickers: DELICIOUS -- definitely getting them again! Fries: Hot and good $5 Margarita: Okay, but needed some tequila assistance Burger: Missed the mark -- overcooked AND cold Bartender: Good customer service Manager Mr. Neal: Excellent customer service and very professional Would I give TGI Fridays another try? Yes. But next time, those pot stickers might just become my whole meal. Sometimes a restaurant can miss the mark with the food, but how management handles the problem matters, and Mr. Neil handled mine very well. Mixed Bag This -- I give you the good, the bad, and everything in the bag! You received 2 stars for how Mr. Neil the manager handled the situation.
