Cashier was friendly and appeared to be in training. I ordered the chicken bites box combo. The chicken bites were chewy, spongy and bland. French fries were hard and salty.

Applebee's (LaVale, MD), mid-January, 2026. My husband and I were traveling on I-68 near…read moreCumberland, MD, and needed a lunch stop that would be restful (from driving) but also relatively fast as we still had a few hours of driving ahead of us. We were seated quickly at the Applebee's, and decided to order from their 2 for $25 menu; as usual, we would split the food. This is A LOT of food for $25 -- a full-sized appetizer to share, plus two full-sized entrees. We ordered the Spinach and Artichoke Dip as our appetizer (usually $12.99), which is topped with Parmesan cheese and served with white corn tortillas and chipotle lime salsa. I ordered the new O-M-Cheeseburger (normally $11.99), that featured a juicy, all-beef burger, topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, and spicy honey mustard, served in a sizzling skillet of molten queso and a blend of cheddar cheese. I selected the garlic mashed potatoes as my side. My husband ordered a Grilled Oriental Chicken Salad (usually $16.99), which features grilled chicken on a bed of Asian greens, crunchy noodles, and almonds tossed in an Oriental vinaigrette. It's served with a breadstick that has been brushed with buttery garlic and parsley. Food. (Rating: 4/5). Our appetizer (5/5) arrived within five minutes of our order, and it was very tasty. The entrees were delivered before we had finished the appetizer. Since we would be splitting our entrees, we were pleased to see that the burger was already cut in half with both pieces served in the molten cheese. While the O-M-Cheeseburger (4/5) was tasty, we'll probably go back to a traditional cheeseburger for future orders as our entree was somewhat messy and had too much cheese for our tastes. The garlic mashed potatoes were AMAZING, and were also good dipped in the molten cheese. We were so full after eating the appetizer and the burger entree that we opted to take the second entree, the salad, as take-out. We ate the salad (3/5) the next day. While we both tend to like sweet things, the dressing was far too sweet for both of our tastes. Quantities and value were excellent, but most food at Applebee's is a nutritional bomb. Even the GRILLED oriental chicken salad has 1440 calories, while the O-M-Cheeseburger came in at 1680 calories. Our waitress was excellent, and we had finished our relaxing lunch within 45 minutes (within our goal). We would eat here again.

I can't believe what they were thinking when they packed my order. They are incredibly stingy with takeout orders, I felt scammed. I guess they try to save money by skimping on takeout orders? Very weird business practice. Be wary of this if ordering takeout, they do not operate like a normal Applebees and are EXTREMELY stingy.

We called and they said no reservations. We walked over and noticed there are NO lights in the parking lot. This made it feel dangerous with cars driving around and very unsafe. After a few minute wait we were seated. Our waitress was either new or off her game that day. Our drink order eas taken fast, but that's where the positives end. She didn't come back for almost 20 minutes ro take our order. Another table that came in after us already had their food before we even ordered! The rest of the night was like this. Someone at a nearby table went to the bar for another beer because she took so long with them too. We were ready to leave but our waitress was nowhere to be found for almost half an hour. By that point the restaurant was practically empty. It's almost like she forgot we were still there. The food was decent, but a little overpriced for what it was. I ordered bbq while my wife had the rotisserie chicken. I thought it was a little bland. I overheard our waitress say they often have people come in who don't want to wait at the other steakhouse nearby. I would say change your plans to something else. You'll be thankful you did.

She began by telling us about all the specials, which none of our previous servers had done. She was friendly, energetic and a top-notch server. She was so personable and knowledgeable. We really appreciate the service provided. Now to the food "quality." The chicken portions were very small, dry and tough. We did not report it because the wings were free. We also had onion rings that were a tad under-cooked, but tasted good. The sweet tea was not as sweet as previous visits, but was tolerable. This location is so "hit or miss," usually "MISS"! The booth seats could use an upgrade because the seats are worn out. Very uncomfortable, The trivia point rewards is also a mess. I scored 117 and 87 and the app gave me zero points. The online "customer service" is awful. Thank you Latrell for making this visit enjoyable. If it had not been for your pleasant personality, we would have been really disappointed.

I was greeted right away and seated no wait, no fuss. Enter Kiersten, my server. She was quick with the coffee, cool with my questions, and clearly knew the menu better than I know my own blood type. Props to her. I went with the build-your-own breakfast. The hash brown casserole? Comfort in every bite. The sausage? Spiced just right. And then... there was the ham. Listen, I respect a bold flavor, but this ham came in swinging like it had something to prove. Salty doesn't even cover it. If I'm being honest it was like licking a hand full of Morton salt. Meanwhile, the biscuits crumbled like my will to finish them, and the gravy bless its heart was more of a warm suggestion than a flavorful statement. Glad I crossed it off the list....... like trying candy corn as an adult. Now I know what it's about, I know I'm good.
