    Mediocre as expected from this chain restaurant. Family friendly American that’s open till late. They have some deals that seem like a good deal, but the food tastes as you would expect; meh. They have a kids meal special on Tuesdays where two kids can get a cheap kids meal with an adult entree. Service is hit or miss depending on server. The tablets on the table are either an expensive way to distract kids or a way to lighten the load on servers especially to make payment, however many of the tablets don’t work or aren’t on all the tables. Ample parking in a large lot.

    We decided to come to this restaurant for the first time and it was awesome! The server was very patient and friendly. The atmosphere was a great vibe. People enjoying their meals while listening to music. Many employees kept coming by to ask how the food was and if we needed anything else. I thought that made the experience even better! We ordered the Classic Appetizer to start. It came with Quesadillas, Mozarella sticks, Boneless wings, and Spinach Artichoke dip. Everything was hot, tasty, and good. Each item came with it's dipping sauce: Ranch, Marinara Sauce, and some chips with Salsa. I ordered the Bourbon Street Steak which came with Mashed Potatoes and grilled onions and mushrooms. I ordered it medium rare, the meat was very tender and juicy. The Mashed Potatoes were hot and tasty. My fiance ordered the Double Glazed Baby Back Ribs which came with French Fries and Cole Slaw. The Ribs were very delicious and fulfilling. My brother ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp which came with Mashed Potatoes and grilled onions and mushrooms. The Chicken and Shrimp was very good and the food was very hot. Perfect temperature! Everything was Sizzling hot! We will definitely be coming back to this Apple Bees and recommend it to my friends and family. Thanks for the great service and experience. 💯💯💯💯💯

    Lovely place with a true neighborhood feel. Great selection of food, plenty of deals that are offered at least at some time during the day, and I think a great all-around atmosphere. Plenty of TVs To watch whatever you want while you’re dining. A very pleasant restaurant experience, I will plan to return.

    10/10 would recommend. Make sure you ask for Tye he was absolutely great! Made us feel so welcome and got the order spot on! This was our first time at Applebees and will surely not be our last! Chili’s get it together they’re coming for your pockets. In the need for a great drink and an affordable meal look no further!

    Food was just "ok". Best thing about Applebee's was that they were open late night for food and that they had a bar. I will say.... the Brew Pub Pretzels were pretty good. They were served with this sweet honey mustard like sauce and a warm white cheese sauce. We ordered the Mozzarella sticks and some boneless wings. My boyfriend ordered old faithful, the Quesadilla Burger with fries. Judging from the way he cleaned his plate , I'm assuming it was good. Wasn't anything spectacular about today's visit.

    When your a chef and specialty order pasta and Applebees customized it with a smile !! I was expecting a “no we can’t do that” but my server and the manager was happy to get my order exactly the way I asked !

    The first thing I noticed is that it was super cold in there and they said that they didn’t have any way to turn the air down so the whole time we were eating we were freezing My fettuccine Alfredo wasn’t good. Olive Garden is way better. The rest of the food was nice. I wouldn’t say I would want to come back to this location. I ordered a liquor drink and it was too strong and then she made it into a completely different drink and It didn’t even taste like liquor anymore after that.

    We came here late one night and was able to get get in and seated right away. It was after 9 so we were able to take advantage of the half off appetizers, $5 drinks as well as the all you can eat boneless wings and fries. Our waitress was wonderful and even other members of the wait staff greeted me as I walked through the restaurant. The food came out rather quickly. Even the 2nd and 3rd order of wings came out fast. Overall we have a great time and I would definitely recommend this location.

    Overall it was a nice experience. Mozzarella sticks were so good. The steak had a nice flavor but was tough, but probably what you'd expect at this price point. Garlic mashed potatoes are always on point here. Our server was super nice and attentive.

    It's been at least 10 years since I've stepped foot in an Applebee's. This location was close to me so I decided to give it a go. Very large menu, spacious seating and a bar area. Place was very clean. We opted for the AYCE boneless wings and riblets. It was ok, the ribkets were nice but a bit dry and the wings were very thickly battered and dry as well. Way too much batter and just a tiny piece of actual meat. I had to peel off the batter because it was just too much. The sauce was nice on the riblets and the French fries were hot and crispy and seasoned with salt and pepper. Coleslaw was crunchy but lacked taste. I added salt and pepper to mine. We ordered the 2 seasonal valentine drinks, the pink one was missing the candy lips as advertised and the mango was didn't have any alcohol (was supposed to have some bacardi in it) it tasted more like a smoothie. We were seated in the bar area and the bartender doubled as our server. She was very sweet and polite, very respectful.... I would like to eventually go back and try something else on the menu so I'm not writing them off just yet.

    Late Afternoon. Went in with 2 of ny cousins , we were greeted immediately . Waitress was nice. Everything came on time. Drinks stayed full, but the food quality was pretty bad. The new appetizer The Cheetos bites, were very greasy. Croutons stale. Burger was dried out, hard buns like the Croutons should have been. But overall i would go back

    This was my first time visiting this location and the food and service was great! From our sever, Kharisma, to the restaurant managers. Great burgers. It was my birthday and dessert was really good. I had the Supreme brownie. It was more than enough to share with my husband. I visited this location because the one near me closed down, but I would definitely visit here again.

    My family and I enjoy the occasional visit to Applebee's. Great costumer service, polite staff, & the food is always delicious. When dinning in the water is attentive, the manager is attentive as well as our waiter. To go orders are always on point. We never had a negative experience when I decide to take my family to the Applebee's on N. Loop. 5 stars well earned.

  • 4/5 Mary N. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good, steak and shrimp with sides. Plus Tomato soup. Waitress was fair but we never received drink refills and they were $3.75 each for cola and Tea. She also did not know what Chicken Fried Steak is. Otherwise she was good and seemed to be learning To speak English.

  • 1/5 Sheira H. 7 months ago on Google
    This was the worst Applebee's experience ever. A group of us went to Applebee's. I am normally not a fan but it is a solid choice for picky eaters. We got our food in a timely manner but after we were served the waitress ignored us for hours. No drink refills, no asking if we wanted something else. That was ok but it took over an hour from when we finished eating to get the bill. We asked multiple waiters but our waiter did not return. We tried going to the back and could not find her. It was late we were tired and really wanted to leave. Then after we got the bill it took forever to get them to take our cards and for them to give them back. It was hours wasted at Applebee's. That was the worst waitress ever. I noticed the other waiters were attentive. I know the kitchen can get backed up but we were ignored after we got our food.

    I wasn't going to leave a review from the earlier incident but because I didn't get my full order, I guess I have no choice. I arrived about an hour before they close and was trying to figure out what to order so I asked the waitress about the wings/ flavor of the wings. She tells me the flavor she thought was goodsays the boneless wings are half off and hands me the happy hour menu. So because of this I order some boneless wings and mozzarella sticks since they're half off. A few minutes later I ask to put in an order for the salmon with fries to go. I get the receipt and pay without looking at the receipt. When I finally look at the receipt, the bartender/waitress didn't put in the appetizers correctly and charged me full price even though she was the one that handed me the happy hour menu and told me appetizers were half off.... So I asked if they could change it, but apparently with this particular restaurant once you pay nothing can be changed even if the order is wrong (no big deal because I should have read the receipt before paying..) they gave me a voucher for a free meal 🥴🥴 Once I get home I look forward to eating my meal only to find out that they left off the rest of the meal. I got my appetizers but the actual meal I was only given salmon and no sides. Now I'm pretty upset because nothing was done right the entire time I was there waiting. Why would I pay 18 bucks for just this piece of salmon?? I haven't been to Applebee's in years and looks like it was my last time coming. The kicker is the salmon was dryer than dry.

    The food was good and the service was amazing. I would not recommend the Sweet Pepper Chicken Tenders and Mac and Cheese, it was to sweet. What was refreshing however was the service. It really seemed like the workers cared about their job and delivered an excellent customer experience!

  • 4/5 Stephen C. 6 months ago on Google
    First time ever coming to an Applebee’s and boy was I pleasantly surprised! The food was good and the drinks were great. Our server was so attentive. The prices are good and I definitely plan on going back. Also shout out to the manager and wait staff, overheard they only had two servers and you wouldn’t have noticed they were running the place so well.

  • 1/5 Just W. 5 months ago on Google
    Deserve no stars!! Worse Experience Ever!!! Don't eat here!!! Waited 25mins to get drinks and someone to take my order. Our waitress forgot about my table and went to go cater to a larger table. I guess she was focused on tips. Other Waitresses was confused about orders. I asked for plastic silverware, and never got it. I had to cancel my order and leave

  • 1/5 RN C. 4 months ago on Google
    I was really hopeful that I would have at least a good experience but unfortunately that didn't happen. Besides a dirty table, strange odor (grease trap?) and a chef who doesn't know how to cook a steak Med-rare... all disappointing. The place wasn't busy (12:30pm lunch) so there really isn't any excuse. The mashed potatoes, broccoli and water was good though but the star of the plate did not shine.

    I mean, it’s an apple bees. Can completely get smacked here however. Highly recommend lol. Oh, the French onion soup was phenomenal however!

    This place is very nice, you can really have good time there, plus they make delicious drinks, and the costumer service is great !!! 💯 recommended

  • 5/5 Jeffrey H. 5 months ago on Google
    I just really like Applebee’s. They have lots of choices on their menu. It’s easy to stay on your diet, there. The food is always prepared properly and the amount is what we would serve at home. Every one I’ve visited was well staffed and the staff were well trained and the restaurant was clean. This location was the same. We had a nice late dinner and went to bed satisfied. We ate off of their Pick Two menu, which is a great value.
