    I've been an Applebees fan for years and like anything the quality and service at some locations can go up and down. It's not a fancy place but it never claims to be. It's good food, relatively quick in a comfortable and friendly place. This review is specifically about the Warwick, RI location on Quaker Lane. I recently visited with a friend who is disabled. We were welcomed and asked about seating preference and giving our choice. When the waiter came we had a very special request. My friend will not drink Pepsi so we brought a can of Coke with us and asked if we could ot for a Pepsi but drink the coke she brought. Not only did he say yes, he said no charge for the soda and offered us a cup with ice. We made a simple order with with plenty of special requests which were all met with NO hesitation! We got 2 Quesadillas, 1 with chicken and 1 without & we got fries, but also asked for sides of pickles, ranch dressing and guacamole. Everything was brought out and the waiter DEREK D, could not have been nicer. We were also checked on by the manager Michelle 2 separate times and she stopped to check on us but also chat with us. This was an amazing dine in experience, especially after so many months of take out while the dine in options were closed at many places. Side note: we did have leftovers that we did take out and were given separate containers for the pickles and ranch in addition to the container for the quesadilla and fries. Thank you Derek, Michelle and Applebees of Warwick. We will be back soon!!

    Prime rib dip
    Ryan D.

    I usually don't give chain restaurants anything over 3 but Applebees hit the mark today. I usually don't go here but it's easy and cheap with my toddler. So I tried the prime rib dip. It was pretty, pretty, pretty good in the words of Larry David. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. It doesn't compare to a smokehouse sandwich but for Applebees this was really good. I'd get this again. Service was good and nice and quick for much which is what I needed due to the short time I have being with my toddler.

    Food grate,a little slow..check out the seat I had to sit in. .......,........,............................

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and after a coffee run nearby, we decided we needed a snack. We walked in not even knowing what games were on and the place was packed, always a good sign. We grabbed a couple seats at the corner of the bar and were greeted right away. All three women behind the bar were personable, friendly and on top of everything, which made the experience even better. We started with spicy coconut margaritas which were so good, then split a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. I had mine as a lettuce wrap and it was flavorful, juicy and delicious. The fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Great energy, friendly service and a really solid burger. I will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.

We got a few apps including the Brussel sprouts (amazing and big portion ) and the southwest egg rolls (also very good, smaller portion). We got the pizza of the day which was a chicken vodka ... wasn't that great, to be honest... but we asked for more sauce and they gave us some and it helped a bit. The smash burger was classic and I got mine lettuce wrapped instead of a bun, which was nice! Music was loud, but that is expected.

Before going, I noticed several reviews mentioning that the food lacked flavor. After eating here, I'd have to agree. We started with the Strawberry Burrata appetizer. The burrata itself was good, but the strawberries tasted like they came from a can or pie filling instead of being fresh. It's the middle of summer, so that was disappointing. The focaccia served with it was fresh, but completely unseasoned and bland. A little olive oil, herbs, or flaky salt would have made a huge difference. For our entrees, we ordered the pasta special with chicken, peppers, and "broccolini" in a garlic sauce, along with the short rib grilled cheese and garlic Parmesan chips. First, the dish didn't contain broccolini--it was regular broccoli. That's not a huge deal, but the menu should be accurate. The penne was undercooked, the red peppers tasted like they came from a can, and the broccoli seemed straight from a frozen bag. The entire dish arrived tasting like it had been reheated in a microwave rather than cooked to order. There were only a couple of other tables in the restaurant, and they had only been open for about an hour, so that was surprising. On top of that, the dish was very bland. The short rib grilled cheese was actually the highlight of the meal. The short rib was tender and flavorful, and the sandwich had a lot of potential. However, the plain focaccia made it a little dry, and it really could have used some type of sauce or spread to bring everything together. The garlic Parmesan chips were stale, bland, and also seemed pre-made. To top it off, the menu clearly advertises that kids eat free all day on Mondays, yet we were charged $8 each for our kids' penne with red sauce. This restaurant has the potential to be really good. The ingredients and menu ideas are there, but the execution falls short. Fresher ingredients, cooking food to order, more seasoning, and a little more creativity would make a world of difference.

The restaurant has a modern but cozy style, with lots of seating and a lively vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out with friends or going out with family. It felt comfortable but still exciting at the same time. The food was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and you can tell they care about quality. The portions were generous, and the presentation looked just as good as it tasted. There were so many options on the menu, so it would be easy for anyone to find something they like. The service was also great. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick without making us feel rushed. They checked in at the right times and made sure everything was correct. It made the whole experience even better because we felt taken care of. Overall, Tavern in the Square is a restaurant I would absolutely recommend.

The bar is Big & oval bar must seat 20 people, It's a good spot too. Our libations were very tasty, I enjoyed one of the best Aperol spritz ($12) I have tasted and my date had the old-fashioned banana foster $14. We were both very happy with these choices. For a meal we ordered bowls, $25 each. I had the ahi Tuna bowl and she had the salmon bowl. They really cut back on the fish in these bowls... shrink- flation? Added lots of rice and I had to ask for more kimchi and carrots just to see more vegetables, but in general, it was fine. The Salmon bowl on the other hand had so much broccoli that it was overpowering the entire balance of the dish. I'll pick differently next time. The good service and the convenience of the tavern in Garden City will bring me back.

    This is your typical soulless, corporate chain restaurant that could be in any town in the United…read moreStates. Having said that, suburban Americans are a funny bunch ... and it is also wildly popular. We went here with kids and I'd say on a Saturday night, 80% of the people here had kids. The music is played very loud ... so if your kids are misbehaving, it's not a huge deal. The music pretty much makes conversation tough but acts as a buffer for screaming children (or adults). The first thing is that the reservations system is absolutely a complete and utter shit show. They do this thing called 'call ahead' where you call the restaurant or go online and hold a spot. It's a turd of a system because it doesn't seem to work. We came in and waited almost 30 minutes and saw several others who checked in and came 10 minutes after get a table. When we asked the host, they said it was because they had 2 people in their group and we had 3 people. Yet they were all seated in the same section we eventually were at the exact same table size. Beyond that, when you walk into the restaurant there is a giant revolving door, which gives about 5 feet of clearance to the hostess stand. There were no less than 20 people waited in an area the size of a hotel elevator. And each time someone came in, there was basically nowhere to move and the door sometimes hit the people gathered in the small area to wait. I cannot imagine a planet on which this would not be some kind of fire code issue. Beyond the utter chaos and frustration of the check-in system, we were finally seated after 20 - 30 minutes. The waitress was clearly overworked. Very capable but spread too thin and a bit frazzled but helpful when she appeared. We ordered: - Smash burger. This was actually very good. At $18, it should be. 1 mile away is a Shake Shack and I'd say that Shake Shack is a slightly better burger (at 1/2 the price) but the fries at B.J's were better. - California Chicken Club. The chicken breast was grilled nicely and actually had a grilled flavour, which was good. The bacon could have been a bit crispier. Tomatoes seemed fresh. Guacamole was not fresh, likely, but better than mayonnaise. I'd order this again. - The side Wedge was pretty blah. There were literally two small bacon bits on it. The dressing probably came from an industrial-sized bucket and contained no blue cheese chunks. It may as well be ranch. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. Probably not much better than French fries as a side. - Brown Ale was pretty terrible. It tasted of alcohol and was not smooth at all. I'd probably get a national brand, if this was a good example of their house made beer. Overall, I have to admit the food was better than 99% of chain restaurants (Applebees, Chilis, TGIFriday, etc.) It was true comfort food and if your expectations are low ... and you need a place to take the kids, this won't be terrible. It's somewhere between a Chucky Cheese and a Tavern on the Square. The prices were high ... but we felt that we got what we paid for.

I ordered tritip steak and shrimp scampi with cheddar mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak was SO over cooked and dry. The asparagus was drenched in pepper and olive oil which was all you could taste. It was way too much for me. Our server brought over a second steak for me which was slightly less well done. He also brought over broccoli to replace my mom's over-peppered asparagus as well. The broccoli was terrible too but we ate it... The shrimp came in a redish sauce (which is not scampi) but it was very good whatever it was. My mom's prime rib was very tasty though. We won't be going back though. Was very pricey for a super mediocre meal.
