I brought my 3 kids here for dinner and my 4-year old daughter started having a meltdown because she wanted hand lotion. Our server was able to find some from a coworker and brought it over. We all had burgers and my boys thought it was one of the best burgers they’ve ever had. Thanks to our server, our dinner was an excellent experience and the food’s always good.

I got a $ 15 gift card for Applebees on my birthday. So I went up there to try the cowboy burger with sweet potato fries and a bottle of Bud. The the bartender was very friendly and very helpful. I got the burger to go and it was very good. I would try it again sometime. Good burger and sweet potato fries.

Not sure why all the bad reviews, except that many of them are very old. We visit this Applebee’s at least once a month, and we’re always pleased with the food and service. They appear to be short-staffed. Not sure if that’s an Applebee’s(budgeting) issue or a local management issue. However, our server is always polite and hard-working. Sometimes I think people expect way too much from a «budget» restaurant. If I can sit down and have dinner for 2 for twenty bucks, my standards are different than when I’m paying $ 50 a meal. Their food is good. If you’re not happy, they’ll make it right. But it always appears that people want something for nothing. I’ve seen people argue until their food is free, then leave nothing for the server. I doubt you’d want to be treated that way at your job. We go back for Monday Burger Night, half-price appetizers, honey chicken mac and cheese, and friendly service. All at a price that rivals fast food.

A good server, but that’s about it. Our Thai salads looked like half orders and were drowning in dressing. The sirloin steak was not worth it and the kids meals left all the kids still hungry. I use to bartend at Applebee’s but I don’t think I’ll go back. Disappointing!

Everyone is picking on this location too much. It’s a great Applebee’s. It’s decent food at a decent price. Not fast food but not fancy either. Everyone has always been polite and I have never had any issues with my food.

I have avoided Applebees for the last few years but a friend wanted to go there(she was paying), so I said ok. I ordered the chicken ceasar salad that was all lettuce ribs and rubber chicken parts. Horrid. The strawberry lemonade I ordered(because they don’t carry Coke products) was a neon red color not found anywhere in nature. Stillwater is hurting in middle ground restaurants, but I would still avoid this one.

Um… Applebees just isn’t good anymore. The selection was disappointing and within an hour of leaving I had an upset stomach. The only redeeming quality of my lunch was the pleasant service. The worst part was the floaty in my soda :(

Very poorly run. Been here several times. Sat at bar. Even when just a few people sitting at bar service is slow. Bartender to busy making drinks for servers, taking to-go orders, or just gone/inattentive. Gave them a shot again this week and the bartender literally took 6 or 7 trips back and forth to unload some clean glasses and didn’t look at me/acknowledge my presence at all. After the 6th or 7th trip I simply got up and left. Literally no contact! TV Soundboxes are nice but the TVs too small for how far away they are from the seats(i.e., they’re poorly placed). No healthy appetizers. $ 9.29 for regular chicken wings??? Seriously? Very limited/standard beer selections(5 taps). Obviously poor management. Note, Buffalo Wild Wings next door has 20 taps and about 40 bottles, and even a local(Stillwater) beer. Plus much better & more TVs, friendlier service, etc.
