Visited this location and wasn't expecting much! Typically apple bees is slow, over crowded, and food is plain in my area. But this location is the best I've ever dined at! It's clean inside. The staff is quick and extremely accurate. Our waitress Daniela is such a great server. She was very attentive, quick, friendly, and accommodating. Always checking in with our table! The food was nicely prepared too, no complaints! Would come back here again! read more

The food was very delicious. The service was fast and friendly and the menu was two for 25 or Mother's Day menu. read more

All 2.5 stars go to our awesome waiter Dave/David. 1 star to the price point. This guy is something - the most passionate, professional, funny and entertaining guy I have ever seen. He even carries a bag with little stuff to entertain people, omg the little hands were hilarious. Checked on us multiple times, accommodated everything we needed and was extremely friendly. Price point awesome!! 35$ for two people to get FULLLLLLL. We ordered a midnight special as we came in quite late and it was one of the only options that was open so late. The drink my gf ordered was great. Virgin Strawberry nada colada is flawless. Can't complain. But the food. Mehhhh. Brownie bite was good. Honestly I cook better food at my home. Very fast food taste, not a restaurant food. Chicken parmesan fettuccine was least tasty. Lived the atmosphere as it has dimmed lights, nice paintings on the wall and soft couches. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Water because they took my drink - American Near Me - Visalia, California

I was in town for a few weeks in May and there always seems to be an Applebee's in whatever area I'm in. With most places closing around 10pm in the area, this place and only a few others stay open late. With me not being free until after 9pm, this was the spot for me. The vibe is pretty mellow and chill and if you come in here regularly it gets more welcoming when the staff starts to recognize you. I never had an issue with the food and drinks I ordered. Cant go wrong with half off appetizers (boneless wings & pretzel sticks are my go to!) that I can scarf down after I'm done having my 3 or 4 drinks and calling it a night. And the service was always on point, even better after coming in frequently (I was coming in 2-3 times a week). Shout out to the bartenders and staff that took care of me there. It was a pleasure meeting Sonia, Genise, Felysha and Michael. I appreciate the warm welcoming as I got a chance to explore Visalia and Tulare for a few weeks. Will definitely swing back this way next time I'm in town. Cheers! read more

Service was really good, especially our hostess who accommodated my party of 4. The alcoholic drinks were strong and GOOD!! The food was...not so good, I ordered the spicy chicken burger with fries..my fries tasted old, and the chicken burger was bland, I couldn't even taste the coleslaw. read more

Francisco the bartender/karen/waiter was so rude.. no customer service. It was almost closing time and nobody was even parked in the front parking and he made me move my truck over because I guess I was parked in mobile order parking. Although, I'm disabled was in car accident recently. He's is definitely is what is wrong with the world, no empathy. I hope his skin condition improves so he isn't so hateful to customers. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Applebees appetizers, Classic Broccoli Chicken Alfredo. Never got my actual order. - American Near Me - Visalia, California

My pookie ordered an alcoholic drink and they took it away without even explaining why. The staff were completely unprofessional and rude about it. I came from out of town just to have a good time, and this totally ruined the experience. Absolutely unacceptable. 0/10 customer service. Would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Came to this Applebees location on a Thursday night 02.27.25 after a ladies church service ended at the convention center around 9:30pm. The group I was with was small only 5 of us,but I saw larger groups of 10,12 and 15. Took a little bit to get our food. Liz and was so nice and quick getting our refills and once our food came. She came by our table several times to make sure my group had everything we needed despite having several other tables to tend to. Thank you Liz!! read more

Ew David was so fun and attentive! he was super funny and was on top of everything and everyone he was helping all night. Thank you! Will be coming back for him read more

We were in town for a baseball tournament and stopped in for lunch two days in a row. Both days we received great service. Shout out to Michele W, Alicia, and the manager Amanda! read more

I was in town for our annual church women's conference and Applebees is really the only choice for a late night dinner. I arrived with little expectations but I was pleasantly surprised at the service and the food!!! It was wonderful! Michael, our waiter, was delightful and entertaining. He was completely accommodating and served us well. I wanted to order something with grilled chicken and he suggested the Asian salad with grilled chicken. I had the dressing on the side. It was delicious. What I loved the most was how our waiter talked about the culture and climate of his workplace. He respected and expressed gratitude about his boss, liked and appreciated his coworkers, and talked about how wonderful it was to work there. He also made us laugh with his theatre skills and talents. All that positivity made for great customer service and really good food late at night. Thank you! read more

Took a while to be seated was just me and my husband we where looked at funny till we where actually seated not sure why we ordered ate everything was ok till a bug appeared on our table I know it happens but I just couldn't enjoy our dinner after that other then that our sever Selena was great read more

Food was ok my dinner has absolutely no taste. The service was the worst I have ever experienced. Terrible the waitress was all over the place and the restaurant wasn't even busy. The ambiance was normal. We will NEVER eat there again. read more

I cant even start with saying how the food was because i was never even seated me and about 5 other people (2 groups) had left since we were waiting for about 30mins with no one being seated MULTIPLE waiters/waitresses to be able to seat one of us and take an order not hard so we all came to CANES WAY FUCKING BETTER!! Waiters and waitresses in the front are useless when they dont work efficiently read more

Really disappointed tonight. Came in and gave our name for the wait list. Looked around and there was at least 15 empty tables. After waiting 30 minutes I asked how much longer it was going to be and the host said everything was on hold due to a large group of twenty they had to serve. They said it was impossible to predict how long it was going to be. You would think it would have been the courteous thing to tell us that when we signed in. I can only think this restaurant is very mismanaged. Of course we left and will not be back. read more

On October 11, 2020, I took my mother, niece and sister here for a late lunch. We had a really good experience and sat on the outside patio. It's not a huge area but they did well regarding the restrictions and limitations. It was my second time eating out like this since the pandemic. We are spaced apart from others, the staff wear a mask at all times and social distancing was pretty much enforced. I like that the outside dining has umbrellas to block out some of the sun even though it was nice to have a little bit of sun shining through despite the weather/the fires not too far way. Fortunately the air quality was good that day! Our waitress Ms KIRI was great. She stated she was also a bartender and now working too as a waitress and recommended two of the Halloween drinks and they did not disappoint. The one with Patron and raspberry was absolutely delicious and the blue one on the rocks was yummy too. I'm not usually one that snacks on appetizers and then eat my meal so the two for $22 menu had some great selection and I really enjoyed my chili lime chicken with cheese and shredded chips underneath and huge side of rice entree. Me and my niece got down on that item. My moms steak was cooked to perfection and her vegetables were really good. My sister loved her juices dripping burger and even shared some of it and needless to say with the onion rings and the buffalo wings as appetizers- we were stuffed stuffed!!!! For some pandemic dining outside and they're doing the best they can- they are do a really good job. The food is still better than expected. read more

ELIZABETH is the best waitress I've ever had, so comforting and nice. Along with checking on us every few moments. She needs a raise asap!

They have raised the bar a bit on the food over this last few months and I don't care who you are, their perfect margarita is exactly that...perfect. read more

We had a baby in a carrier the biggest booths were empty no wait to sit and the hostess made 3 adults 1 two year old and a baby in carrier squeeze into a booth . She had the nerve to tell us we could put the baby on the floor . We asked for a bigger booth so we had to squeeze into a smaller booth with hardly any arm room. If it were for our grandson being hungry and the heat we would've left . The hostess was rude as heck !! The rest of staff amazing and yes I am complaining to manager . read more

Was there Sunday and food was delicious. Service was fast and efficient. Our waiter was excellent and friendly. He recognized our needs before we ask. read more

Great food and service from ew David. Went in due to Texas roadhouse not having steaks or ribs... should have never went to Texas roadhouse Applebee's never disappoints. read more

Excellent food and service. Good food at a reasonable price. Excellent service for takeout

This place is ridiculous. My granddaughter and I came here for a snack. We got here at 2:45 they sat us. Then about 3 minutes later took our order. We ordered of the appetizer menu. We finally received our food at 3:38. And then we had to ask for silverware, napkins and plates. This Applebees does not have good service. I would not recommend this AppleBees. If you want AppleBees go to the Akers location, they have better service. I had to call for assistance from our server. I had called her on the pad. She walked right passed us and went to the next table. I had issued with paying. When she finally did come over. I asked to speak with the manager. The manager took care of the bill. But I will not be returning to this location. read more

Food was cold plate was hot. Had a hostile encounter with the hostess Liz. Ambiance was basic.

Food was ok . Server lagged it to bring drink refills ,on top of that we ordered MORE ALCOHOL DRINKS and server said that there was a limit , which was ok , but manager and server kept bringing us the tab , basically like kicking us out maybe they thought we didn't have money to pay , has never happened to us there ... read more

Waitress was spot on, food was great, and drinks were amazing! Happy hour here is hard to beat!

Artichoke dip tastes like cat litter, cold mozzarella sticks stale chips and ok quesadillas! Blue raspberry lemonade was amazing!! Don't know if I would come back. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - The Classic Combo - American Near Me - Visalia, California

To preface, it has been a minute since this happened, however my visit to this establishment was horrible. Me and my mom decided to treat ourselves with a lunch out one afternoon, only to be completely ignored by all the staff for a total of 2 1/2 hours! We had to wait to be seated for 30 minutes even though the restaurant was practically abandoned, no one was there. Once seated, the waitress didn't even take our drink orders until an hour later. My mom being beyond annoyed, decided to pay for the drinks and leave with me after still not getting our food ordered an hour later. I hope for the sake of the people who still go here the service has changed drastically. read more

Met there for a group social. Food was okay Our server David was awesome He made the whole experience fun. read more

I ordered their chicken nachos To-Go and this is what I got... literally a big handful of tortilla chips and a literal clump of melted cheese and a few small chunks of chicken... cold as ice. What a disappointment. And this was $14?! Wow, I feel completely robbed. Disgusting. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Chicken Neighborhood Nachos - what is THIS?! - American Near Me - Visalia, California

Hadn't visited this Applebee's in quite awhile and over a year visiting one all together. Plenty of room when we walked in and seated within minutes. They took our drink order and food order right away. Ordered a few drinks from the bar and some appetizers for lunch. Food came out quickly and freshly made. It didn't disappoint and the drinks were up to par. We enjoyed ourselves much more than we thought we would and the server apologized for being short staffed even we didn't notice it at all with the speed of the our food and drinks. Definitely come back again. read more

The place is clean most of the times I'm there, the line takes FOREVER, but the food is amazing I definitely recommend their hot wings.

If I could give this restaurant no stars I would!!! First off I asked for extra sauce on my pasta and still ended up with absolutely nothing just dry. Second the shrimp was so called "blackened shrimp"... the shrimp looked no where near cooked and nothing like the picture. I'm not from this area just visiting and this honestly topped it for being so bad. Get it together. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - This is something you can get at a grocery store and microwave. So much for telling them extra sauce - American Near Me - Visalia, California

We haven't gone to this specific Applebees for years because we live out of town but we went for Mother's Day lunch and honestly we were seated right away and it was not as busy as we thought it was going to be but there were a few things that did not make our experience the best 1. Service: Our waitress was AMAZING! She was such a kind soul and it was not her fault that everything else wasn't good but she made sure we were taken care of throughout the time we were there 2. Food: We decided to get some appetizers and their dollar margaritas. The appetizers were so good! We ordered some wings and the amazing spinach dip. The margaritas were okay, they were too sweet for my liking but for a dollar I can't complain too much about it. Now the actual entrees were HORRIBLE. We decided to do the 2 for $35 so options were pretty limited, especially because they did a specific menu only for Mother's Day. We got the bourbon street chicken and shrimp and it looked NOTHING like the picture! And you would think, since it had Bourbon in the name, it would have a bourbon sauce but nope it was just named after a street... It was tasteless and had no flavor. We also got the Four mac and cheese with honey tenders and long story short, the person in our party got sick later on in the day because of it. Something tasted off with the cheese and the tenders had NO FLAVOR! When it comes to the food, either stick with the appetizers or stick to the burgers, nothing else! Would we be back again? Probably not unless I just want to go for appetizers and drinks but since we live out of town, we probably won't make the drive back again. The service and people were total sweethearts but the food is just not worth it and it made someone sick so beware of that! read more

we went in for appetizers and cocktails, we were seated and ignored soon after, several servers walked past our table, came to the Akers location and complete opposite, they are wonderful. the other location, not so much. I will say the first location was not busy, as is the second one. our appetizers were yummy. Mooney Applebees gets a big thumbs down from us. the ambiance was nice!!!!!! read more

Went to Applebees for lunch today and the experience wasn't the greatest. Was disappointed with Applebees until my friend and I decided to go back later for drinks and our server made up for the earlier experience by far. David is absolutely amazing his attitude , personality, friendliness is above and beyond. If I had more cash on me I would have given him a bigger tip. Applebees you did amazing job and had amazing judgement when you hired this kind soul. I'd back again because of him. Thank you David for your being you. And for giving myself and my friends your green necklaces read more

Ugh I usually love Applebee's but this place is not the business. Appetizers were good, wonton tacos and mozzarella sticks. Bahama mama tasted yum. But main course bourbon chicken and shrimp. Shrimp was barely cooked, had asked for well done since I noticed the lady next to me got the pinkest shrimp "grilled shrimp" could possibly be. Chicken was touch and chewy. Honestly tasted like some cheap frozen chicken you would get at school. And the mash were cold on our skillet plate. Server brought us new mash but we were so over it we didn't even mention the chicken. Pass on this location. read more

Never fails, one of my favorite quick and no fuss places to stop in for a bite. I highly recommend Apple Bees for their food, friendliness and service. Absolutely delicious, lets not forget their amazing prices. read more
