Applebee’s

We have been here a few times in the mast couple months and the service and food somehow seems to get better. We used to skip Applebee’s in our rotation of «normal» restaurants, but this time it was good service and good food. They weren’t super busy and I was grateful it was a Tuesday night so my daughter’s food was only $ 2 so it helped to not be so expensive. We enjoyed our experience here.

Come here quiet a bit due to its location and 6 $ deal on Mondays. Honestly i can say food is crazy good, but it is average enough to come here with co workers. Its a hit or miss spot, sometimes i receive amazing service and sometimes i dont.
Overall food is okay, burgers are small and their fries and mediocre.

This is our first visit to this location. Alyse was our server. She was enthusiastic & attentive. We really lkked the way she took care of our needs as well as the patrons around us.
We ordered the 2 for $ 25 deal with double crisp shrimp & baby back ribs as the entrees and the spinich artichoke dip for the appetizer.
The dip was cheesy & flavorful, served at just the right temp to dig in! The entrees were brought timely, also not too hot. While the ribs were a bit overdone, the honey bbq sauce was flavorful with a bit of tang to it. The shrimp was yum yummy! I opted for tarter sauce over shrimp sauce.
All in all, it was a fun visit. My kiddo & I could easily converse & hear. The décor was interestingly Boise Idaho! Go Broncos!

half a sandwich and a few bites of salad for $ 10 without a drink. Won’t be back anytime soon. And this was the lunch menu…

Had a great meal tonight only to be shocked by the prices. they changed $ 8.00 for a jack n coke and now I can never go back. That’s a $ 5.00 drink all over town so you got me once but now I know!

Okay, so I feel like it’s always hit or miss with these chain restaurants. I feel like it was kind of middle of the road here tonight.
The French onion soup was decent but the pepper crusted steak dish was weird. The steak was plated weird. Like they had a steak placed on top of a soggy pile of what looked like canned spinach and quinoa. The steak itself was so-​so. It was essentially a cheap steak. Cook was okay, there was some fat, but overall mediocre.
My husband’s burger looked decent, though.
Service was nice enough, it was easy to get a seat, and the food came out quickly.
So if you’re looking for mediocre food at an average price, this is okay. You’re not going to have the best meal of your life here, but at least you don’t have to cook!

John is an amazing bartender! We had a great New Years Eve celebrating here. The service was outstanding and the wonton tacos were incredible!

First, the service here is wonderful. The wait staff are cheerful and quick, and friendly to boot. When my friend and I came to watch the World Series they turned a TV over for just us, and didn’t complain about it either.
Unfortunately, the food here is either hit or miss. Don’t get me wrong; their spinach artichoke dip is literally to die for. It sucks that they only serve Pepsi products, and not even Dr Pepper! But their worst offense by far is their meat. There are not words strong enough to describe the experience of their meat. The first steak I was ordered was vaguely grey in the middle; when I went back with my friend a week later she too ordered the steak, and I can only describe the interior as a threatening, pork-​esque brown-​grey. To no one’s surprise we complained, and what did we get? Half off our appetizer and the most half-​assed apology I’ve ever heard.
So, now we go for the spinach artichoke dip, and the waiters. I would advise people even with iron stomachs to avoid the meat like the plagues of old, and to sit in the lounge instead. At least their alcohol is decent.

Excellent service from Kelly #2! My daughter asked for fry sauce and Kelly actually made some for her since they don’t normally have it. Kelly was amazing in every aspect and you can tell she loves what she does. Food was great and quick. The Asst Manager even came over and had an actual conversation with us! Simply the best at caring for their customers! Thank you!

Visited after a 5k on a Friday evening to unwind. We were happy to find that they weren’t packed! We really enjoyed the food and beverages, and our server was wonderful. My one complaint is that the server did not make it clear that the ONLY appetizers that are half price during happy hour are the ones on the little table tent. We had ordered the $ 13 sampler (which was more than enough for the three of us) from the main menu. I look forward to going back again sometime.

Seriously I like all the 500 calorie menu items and this time I had the sirloin and shrimp which now has moved to my number one. Always constant food and I have yet to see a busy one so I can always get in and out.

Food was good… A Cajun chicken and shrimp entrée. Their two for $ 20 deal is a good one. Now the bad news. Service on a Saturday evening was terribly slow, but no fault of the wait staff which was working hard.
The restaurant was busy but far from full; there were several empty tables. I waited 15 minutes after placing the order for the simple appetizer … and 35 minutes for the entrée.
Slow and apparently understaffed kitchen. I chalk this bad experience up to cheap and bad management.

So we went here for a friend’s 21^st… we have portrait styled ids… because of this we got no alcohol. Im 25… and my id says im over 21… and yet they wouldnt serve us. If im getting alcohol again im not coming again. Besides that the service was good

Whenever I come here, I’m always pleased with the consistently good service, good food, and very reasonable prices. I know that I can come here if I’m «feeling poor» and get a good meal. I feel safe bringing big groups with different budget needs. I love that they’re always updating their menu. The menu also offers a large variety of options for those who are on a diet. The restaurant is also clean with a friendly staff. This is one of my «stand-​by» restaurants and one of my favorites.

My youngest received a coupon for a free child’s meal at Applebees through the library’s Kids’ Summer Reading program. So, we brought him here for dinner on a Friday night.
What I liked:
1. The variety of low calorie menu items.
–which included low calorie cocktails! Generally, if I’m having a cocktail – calories aren’t a concern. However – the guilt free margarita was nice and not too bad tasting (if a bit weak).
2. The service. The servers were prompt, courteous, and, well… just plain likable.
3. As I mentioned, my son received a coupon through the library – so I like that they support children’s literacy! Yay! Go Applebees!
4. My son ate his entire chicken tender/​French fry basket with much lip smacking delight. So – score one for the kids!
What wasn’t quite so pleasing:
1. I ordered their Dijon chicken with grilled portobellos, peppers, and onions. It came with veggies and potatoes. It was low calorie and decent, but not great.
2. My dining companion (the adult one) ordered some sort of crispy chicken salad, which he reported was «solid» though not fabulous.
3. So, in short, the food? Meh. Not good, but not bad either.
4. And, last but certainly not least: In what world is Smirnoff top shelf vodka? (apparently: the world of Applebees) For God sakes, people, no! Absolutely not! Never, ever should «Smirnoff» and «top shelf» be uttered in the same sentence (unless the sentence is: Smirnoff belongs nowhere near the top f*cking shelf!).
So, to sum up – adult food: ok, kid food: yay, and top shelf classifications: no effing way!
