    Just stopped by on a Wednesday evening for a quick by. There was no wait to be seated. Ordered a mudslide, the 2 for $22 you can choose 2 salads or an appetizer to share and 2 entrées. Great deal! Everything was good!

    Food and service was great! Place was also very clean.

    The chicken and cheese quesadillas had very little chicken. The sauce on the pasta wasn’t the best and the fries were lukewarm. It was a clean restaurant but our server wasn’t around and didn’t refill pops or see if we needed anything. With so many similar dining choices in the area I probably wouldn’t come back.

    Had the sirloin steak cook to my liking but had no flavor. Chicken lime was good. Chocolate lava dessert really good. Salads are great.

    I just ate good in the neighborhood! Had that 2 for 25, food was superb!! That three cheese chicken penne was fire, the onion rings were crispy and big! The steak was juicy! And the waitress!!! She was smoking hot! FYI your boys single girl ;)

    OUTSTANDING customer service!! Grace greeted us at the door warmly and promptly! HUGE shout out to our server, KENDRA! Kendra was joyful, spritely, professional, courteous, and attentive!! Our food was delicious (thanks chefs!). Coming in at the end of a long, hard day- I was truly blessed by Kendra's pleasant countenance and wonderful service. THANK YOU, Kendra!!

    The food was great. Our service was a little lacking, but only because the waitress was running around solo taking care of everyone. She did really well, but forgot to bring the silverware. Otherwise, no issues. The music was a tad louder than I would have liked.

    This Applebee's is great. The food is consistent and all ways great. The burgers are something else here they taste insanely good. If you get the bacon burger than make sure it is well done if you don't like it very fatty. Than there is the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are great. You can get so many types of sauce on the chicken. But if you get them plain definitely put ketchup on them cause they are sometimes dry. The noodles are very good and the texture is very good. In general very good place to eat.

    I often get Carside To Go from here and it's ALWAYS 10-15mins waiting to get my food past the time I chose. The food is usually decent but I have had them mess up my order a couple times.

    I just want to leave a review bc I feel my like server should understand what she did. (Nancy) so me and my daughter arrive and we get seated, and then shortly after I hear our server yelling at the host for seating us in her section as she had to leave early that night or something. the host apologized but it made me feel pretty awkward…. Then she took forever to get our drinks which I understand since she had customers there before us. Then she messed up my daughter’s drink but it’s fine she brought it out when our appetizer came and apologized that she didn’t have any lids that’s fine. And since she had to leave early I let her know we would like to order dessert since it’s my daughter’s b day. She said ok and brought out the food. My order was slightly wrong (Bourbon chicken) but there wasn’t any Bourbon seasoning on it, she never came back but it was whatever bc I was already done, she never gave us a refill of course my child drank her drink before the food came. We got the dessert I guess they don’t sing anymore which is fine I took care of it all myself. Definitely sucks when you don’t have family in the area your living and you gotta make the most of your child’s b day by yourself and I had a flat tire on a Sunday. Which made the night suck even more. So just wanted to write this review as the server could have been nice. Friendly, smile at least once. Instead of makeing us feel like we’re a burden. Thanks Nancy I hope you got home safe.

    This location is one of the best. The service is excellent. The food always looks and taste good.

    This was my first time at this location. I was skeptical because I haven't been impressed the last few times I've been to Applebee's. I must say, I was extremely pleased. Everything was delicious!! I'd definitely visit this location again!! Thank you

  • 1/5 robert w. 6 months ago on Google
    So I walked in and ordered a plain hamburger and fries, real simple right ??? Here is a photo of what I received, no seasoning on fries, nothing, a super dryer out burger, horrible, let’s take a small bit of pride on our work ok ,,, maybe ???

    Affordable, great ambience, service by the server named Cory C was exceptional !!!!!

    I went there today for some carside to go. Figured I'd go just after the lunch rush so I went for a pick up around 2. My order was supposed to be ready at 2:10. I parked at 2:08 and notified them of my arrival. 17 minutes later, my order still had not been delivered. My GF went in to check and found the girl in charge of that sitting next to the register eating a fajita instead of doing her job and walking the food out. So of course now I no longer had a warm meal by the time I got home. The real treat was a little over an hour later, my stomach started feeling upset and I felt like I had gas. About 4 and a half hours later, I was vomiting up the remnants of their "Neighborhood Double Burger" and the food poisoning continues 4 hours after that. So please come here for the lack of service, or if you want food poisoning.

    I love Applebees in general but I came in for the AYCE appetizers and the riblets were served cold, shrimp came out half burnt like they dug them out from the bottom of the fryer, and wings were dry like they had been reheated several times. Don’t come to this location for this special.

  • 2/5 Terry B. 1 year ago on Google
    When we arrived there were many customers waiting and there were many tables vacant. Did not see many waitress, so they must have been short handed. It took a while for us to get our food after ordering and the ribs I ordered were ends with very little meat. Poor experience for my first time a Applebee's.

    Stopped in for lunch. Service and food was great. I had the grilled chicken with broccoli and fries. Nice lunch spot. Wasn't busy.

    Was after 10pm on a weekday and was looking for a late dinner. Very few options out there. Stopped at Applebee's and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

  • 5/5 joanne d. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very good dinner with friend. Service was excellent. Our waiter went out of his way to be helpful. The apps were good and our hamburgers were made to order.

  • 5/5 Erin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Our waitress Kayla(kaylie?) Was really nice and handled our order well.

  • 1/5 Kevin Z. 1 year ago on Google
    We never have high hopes of a good meal at a chain like Applebees but some times you are in a pinch for time so you go! Well I wish I had gone to Wendy’s next door. It was soo bad , don’t waste your money, just grab the quick drive thru option at McDonald’s or Wendy’s and go on with your day.

  • 4/5 Trish 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great! But the atmosphere was ok food wasn't made right, and just warm. It's was cold outside and I ended up having to continue to wear my jacket inside because it was so cold. Then when the heat was finally turned on it was sweltering. Lol bur that was my experience for the evening we went.

  • 2/5 Elizabeth B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped here after a 3 hour drive just hoping to get some food for my boyfriend and I. We waited almost an hour for our appetizer then another 45 min for our food. His 8oz steak was the size of a baby's first and was burnt on one side. We waited another 30 min for his food to be remade just for it to come back still burnt on one side and completely cold and raw on the other. The waitress was kind and refunded his dish.....but after a 3 hour drive and just wanting to sit down for food ....we ended up waiting almost 3 hours and didn't eat. The cook has no clue what they're doing

  • 5/5 John J. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a chain, but they run it like it's a family business. Low staff turnover. On our last visit one of the servers had that big corner table on its side so that that could get a front loader in there to clean up after the family of seven (including five young children) that had just finished annihilating that whole area. The server just smiled and said, "They were messy but pretty dang cute." Nice place.
