Applebee’s

Stopped on our way home to eat here last night. Seated right away, but server took a good 10 min to even come over or welcome us. We ordered immediately figuring that would be a bad sign. Food came out right away and was excellent, however our server was no where to be found again and we had no utensils and no napkins with two small children. We ended up eating half the meal by picking at it. The table across from us actually got up and left because he just never came back. We tried to pay on the monitor, but of course our server never entered it so we actually had to wave him down to get the check. Awful experience will not be back.

Food was good and service was great. We had the sampler appetizers which were all pretty good. I had the Fiesta Chicken Chopped Salad and my husband had the 9 oz. Sirloin. No complaints at all. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea and the waitress mentioned they had flavored ones and suggested I try the Mango one. Great choice!

Ok, so broke college kids love half price appetizers which is why we’re typically at Applebee’s after 9pm at least once a week. I usually go to the other one is norristown which I never had any issues with but this time was a nightmare. Literally 5 minutes into us being seated someone like three tables down is livid because their food was cold and the order was wrong. Our waitress was kind of scatter brained… Serving isn’t easy and definitely isn’t for everyone, hence she should find new employment. Anyways, I could tell right off the bat she would be a bit of an issue because we ordered two waters and she had to come back and ask what our drinks were again two seconds later??? Huh? So I opted to order on the tablet on the table instead! Put everything through for her, she didn’t have to do a thing except bring it out… Well when she did the kitchen messed up our order. We asked for some of the spicy stuff on the side and they never brought out, so by the time they did… The nachos were cold. Ugh! I had to keep pushing the call server button Because she never got it and had to push it for her to refill my water which was sitting at the edge of the table for almost 30mins no lie. They were «out» of one of the menu items we ordered… I don’t like this location. I mean I don’t expect much from Applebee’s but a decent kitchen and server is crucial to a restaurant

I’ve never been a huge fan of Applebee’s. I’ve always thought there were better chain restaurants out there as far as the food quality and service. This past Saturday I went with a friend for their ½ price wine. We had already eaten, so this was strictly a drinking trip to Applebee’s. We sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by a very friendly male bartender. He was on top of his game. We stayed for about 3 hours and received excellent service throughout. As far as a HH/​drinking spot, I highly recommend the bar. You can’t beat $ 12 bottles of Apothic Red on V-​Day weekend!

Service was great and the food on the new menu very good. Recommend the siracha shrimp for appetizer

Went to Applebees because I was craving a good burger and we were seated in Jacob’s section. He was hands down the most terrific server. He made everything sound so delicious with genuine recommendations and he truly was a menu master. Jacob made our good experience a great one!

like most other applebee’s — average food quality with average service. applebee’s menu gets confusing these days with the numerous offers/​combos you can get whether its 2 for $ 20, appetizer mix and match, lunch special mix and match, daily specials, and special events… woof gets dizzying to decide what to order at times.
I recommend staying on the conservative side and ordering items that you know an average sit down chain restaurant cannot really mess up — bone/​boneless chicken wings, chicken tenders and fries, ect.
only recommend restaurants like applebees when you are very limited in your options and looking for a sitdown place to eat.

Went to Applebee’s on Trooper Road a week or so ago for an early dinner with a friend. We were quickly seated and waited on. The temperature inside must have been 80 degrees or more. The waiter had the personality of cardboard, the food came out relatively quickly, but it was very disappointing. The portion of the savory cedar salmon was small and the creamy spread looked like it had just been unfrozen with microwaves. The clump of spring vegetables looked pitiful. The Triple Chocolate Meltdown was good, but for $ 6.59, it should have been. Even though the waiter never asked if I wanted more coffee, I left a decent tip for a total of $ 30.00.
We could have gone to Wegman’s (not the Pub) and spent half as much or less, with just as nice atmosphere and friendly employees plus delicious, carefully prepared food, plus would have had leftovers to take home. Or we could have driven out route 23 to Shady Maple Smörgåsbord and eaten all we wanted of a wide variety of higher quality food for about half as much. This will be my last trip to Applebee’s.

Went for lunch with my 15yo daughter. I ordered the French Onion Soup, cheeseburger sliders and the Perfect Margarita. I have to say all of the food was cooked perfectly. The soup was much better then Panaera Breads French Onion that I had four days ago. My daughter was satisfied with her mozzarella sticks and chicken platter, although, the cheese was a tad bit rubbery. The service was excellent. Our waitress was great (7 mo. Pregnant) and everything came out fast.

Everything I’ve ever ordered at this Applebee’s has been just what one would expect when going to a chain restaurant. The staff is always kind as well as attentive. I love their cheap lunch deals, and their brownie bite option for dessert. Their low calorie options are also some of the best I’ve ever had… At a chain restaurant. I feel people forget that we aren’t going to Applebee’s for a 5 star dish.

Yeah it’s gotten better from my first review but hey you could always use improvement in different areas. For instance, some dude bartender was during lunch earlier this month. Yeah your cute and all but your incompetent. I ordered my drink and I watched him fucking around on his phone for ten min before making my margarita… and you didn’t salt the rim… yo man not cool along with I am a bartender. Sad part is that no one else was sitting at the bar. my brother, boyfriend and I had a booth .I didn’t make it noticeable that I was watching but u know I was… I ended up going up there myself and salting the rim… you think I’m gonna wait another ten minutes for that? I’m not over exaggerating either when I say 10 minutes for my drink. they were not busy at all. the server was great ., some young boy. Because this is my local Applebee’s I will be coming back. Hopefully by that time they will get a bartender that has his priorities straight… Don’t hire for looks either. Make sure you hire someone who wants to work and is grateful to have their job.

I tried to support this restaurant location but I’m done. Took my 7 year old niece there for lunch yesterday and it was dreadful. How can you mess up a kids plate of cheese sticks and grilled cheese? Oh and an apple juice that had to be sent out from the Bar??? Wth? My lime chicken arrived cold and o didn’t want to send it back are you kidding. My niece had to use the restroom omg… Filthy, no paper towels. We did managed to scrounge some up from a worker in the hall. Won’t be going back there tho, there were more workers at the front food then waiting on tables.

Went for the lunch with the girls and it was awful. The waiter took forever we had to ask the host for several things, our waiter was to busy going outside to smoke. Our entrée was simply awful the pasta was cold and tasteless and the bowl was swimming in broccoli and little pasta. We were not happy at all one of the girls literally had to ask for lettuce and tomato and pickle for her hamburger the host says oh it does not come with that but I’ll get you some, what hamburger doesn’t come with lettuce tomato and pickle. This used to be a great Applebee’s but has gone down hill no wonder it was empty.

My first time going the waiter took an unusually long time to bring back our credit card so we could leave. 2 years later I tried this applebees again after only going to the one on dekalb. This time the waiter was cool and paid us the perfect amount of attention. We ordered the queso blanco dip (our fav, we order every time) and the amount of queso was very very little. It was a smaller bowl than the one at dekalb and it was filled less than half way. For 2 people sharing it, the dip was gone fast and we were left with a ton of chips. Also, they didnt bring the small side of salsa that usually comes with it.
When the bill came I forgot i had a coupon and took a while searching for where I had it. After locating it and showing my waiter, I looked up at where my waiter went and he was talking to another server pointing in our direction laughing at us because we had a coupon. Would have left him a decent tip if i didnt see that. Even though this is the closest applebees, im willing to travel in the other direction to the dekalb pike one.

Not all Applebee’s are created equal. Physically, like most big chains, they undergo a remodel every few years. If you took a tour of a bunch of Applebee’s you’d notice that there are three common models out there. This one is the latest and greatest as they received their remodel within the last couple of years. As a customer, that means that everything looks fresh and new.
You need to manage your expectations when it comes to the food. If you are expecting gourmet cuisine then your IQ is probably very close to your shoe size. The last time I visited here I had the CHICKEN FAJITA ROLLUP for $ 9.49. It tasted fresh and the fries were hot and crispy. It got the job done.
If you’re going to have an adult libation or two or three this may not be the best place. They are very conservative on the amount of alcohol they use in mixed drinks. I was going to say stingy but I was nice instead. So if you’re drinking you might want to stick to beer or wine.
I’ve found the service here to be fine and a couple of the bartenders to be excellent.
For me this is a typical three star chain experience and the Unilocal term A-​OK fits them perfectly.

Service is clearly not a strong point. Rude waiter. Long wait for everything. Entrees came before the drinks. Might as well have been eating at a McDonald’s. Come on, man.

This was by far the worst Applebee’s I’ve been too. The food was crappy and the waiter was very rude. Frozen dinners would have been better then the food I got here.

Good job fellow Unilocalers on reviewing this place. It basically deserves no higher then a 3 star and that would be a good day and I’m happy to not see a single 4 or 5 star review.
Here’s my take.
THEIR CURBSIDE SUCKS!
The last two times we ordered it, we had to wait a half an hour in the car for our food. We should have just eaten in. Both times half our order was missing and we went home with some food that was not at optimal eating temperature. In other words: «My food was bleeping COLD» Not Cool, not cool at all, Cold. Sorry, I’m POed.
Applebees is easy people, they have a great menu and a good reputation, the place fills itself. Management can only drive people away and this particular one is sending me to Long Horn.

I’ve lived in the area for about a year and a half now, and haven’t gone to this Applebees, so I thought I would give it a try.
The service was good and the food was good (get the 2 for $ 20 deal, if you and a friend like everything on the special menu!) However, the alcoholic drinks here were «meh.» I had a strawberry mojito thing and it was just way sweet and not enough booze. Granted, I don’t think you come here for the drinks, but other places like T.G.I. Fridays do an excellent job with drinks, and I don’t see why Applebees can’t do the same!

The food at this «neighborhood Applebee’s» is average, just like every other Applebee’s I’ve been to. Like every other Applebee’s, it has plenty of parking, is reasonably clean, and totally devoid of personality.
I ordered a randomly-​named burger (~$ 9), maybe the Super Loud Burger, the Melting Western Burger, the Atrocious Tragedy Burger with Uncle Henry’s BBQ Sauce, or maybe the Brewtus Steak Burger? (Whatever it was, it wasn’t anything special.) While our super-​friendly server (whose name I forget) took our orders, I noticed she was wearing a button that read something like: «WE CARD BECAUSE WE CARE».
I asked her where I could get one and she said she’d look into it. During the meal, she stopped by to give me my very own button, for free! That’s special treatment, and it earned her a nice tip. (I wore the button to a Halloween party later that weekend which somehow ended up being pinned to a cute partygoer who I never saw again.)
