    Great service and personable staff. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. My wife a skillet platter that was very satisfying. If you looking for a decent priced place that has a nice selection on the menu consider Applebee's

    Didn't mind the wait as it was packed here. Despite that! We had excellent service. The server went above and beyond. Plus it's spooktober so they do have great deals on Halloween drinks! Always love coming here, even though we travel a little over an hour here. Never disappointed. Keep up the great work! This Applebee's sure is a good place for families, friends, and even solo! Can't wait for the next date night here with my hubby!

    Good food but felt like we were being pushed out because we showed up an hour before close and they seemed liked they wanted to close early. Only recommend if coming way early

    I will have to start by saying that our server was awesome he was very friendly and kind. We were seated very fast with no way time. The chicken tortilla soup wasn't good at all. I can honestly say I've never seen it may like that before but the flavors were just awful. The wonton tacos weren't too bad but once again I wasn't pleased with the flavors. my husband did like his burger and his owners did taste really good.he also thought it was really cool to find a Hamm's beer at a restaurant. The price of the soup definitely was high for the portion size which was extremely small. All in all we definitely won't be going back to eat here.

    Didn't get everything on our order, which was just one of the side dishes, so not huge issue. We had ordered dishes containing steak, an 8oz siroln and chicken and steak parmesan. The sirloin was ordered to be medium rare. The steak parm was ordered medium.....the sirloin was at best medium well barely any pink let alone red like medium rare should have. The steak parm was well over well done and dry. The steak also had very stale after taste like old freezer burnt beef or just beef starting to spoil

    09/28/2023 - Evening meal. Absolutely horrible experience. Food was fine,, just like most Applebee's. However, bartender was slow and inattentive. The checkout was the worse I have ever experienced in any restaurant ever. The bartender asked if I was done. I said yes. She then says 'xxx is the bill'. I ask to see the bill first. Normally this should not be an issue. However, she gets very defensive and says 'YOU want to see the bill first?'. I say, 'yes, if that's not a problem'. She goes ballistic after that. 'I don't get paid enough to deal with people like you',, me 'excuse me,, what? because I want to see the bill before paying?' etc. etc. Then she goes to the manager and I watch them converse. The manager then rolls her eyes, sighs, and walks over to me. I am literally sitting 5 feet from them watching them talk. The manager comes over,, says 'I will take care of the bill'. No apology for the comments, no anything, except 'I will talk to her'. NEVER, go there if this manager or bartender is working. Asking for the bill before paying seems to be a HUGE issue for both of them.

    Waitress was great but the food not so much. We ordered a sampler appetizer platter and everything was tepid except for the artichoke dip. The marinara for the motzarella sticks was really cold like right out of the fridge. We asked for no pico on the quesadillas but they put it on it anyway which the waitress took care of and brought us a whole order of quesadillas. They also played horrible loud rap music.

    Steak was tough everything else was great really enjoyed it manager made everything good with us on the bill so can't complain to . much normally it's really good food and service and atmosphere so it is a good place to eat must been a bad cut of beef or something

  • 4/5 Cheyenne N. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was good, but for the price of the drinks you'd expect them to actually have some alcohol in them. (Totally not an alcoholic, only drink once or twice a year) so I was expecting to catch a little buzz off the few drinks I had. But that didn't even happen. So I know they are light on the alcohol when it came to us ordering our drinks for the night.

    We had a great experience. The atmosphere was great. We went in after 930 pm, and the service was great. The food was hot and delicious! Long Island ice teas never disappoint, and the popcorn shrimp was fantastic. Not to mention the boneless wings that are always a go to for us. Excellent. Our server Mo was awesome.

    Ate here for a family outing. Kids love it every time. Food was excellent, except the ribs my husband got- tough and not much meat. The $1 add on shrimp with steak cooked to order was really good and I was able to take the leftover home and heat up in my airfryer and still was delicious( I diced all the steak before putting it in To Go box. Had the pretzels as an app and the wonton tacos which were a hit. (Wonton taco shell with teriyaki chicken and coleslaw) if you do not like teriyaki I would not recommend. The shells are flaky and crisp. Parmesan green beans were my side. Definitely flavored with garlic and kids that tried my steak said it was spicy but delicious- so may want to ask fornless salt it on a restriction. Definitely high salt on some things. Kids enjoyed the yogurt and strawberries. Never ate the macaroni really. Maybe would get the quesadillas in the future for them. But also has chicken, burgers, alfredo, and other side options.

    Blah but the staff has seemed to be more on point than the pricey joints in many aspects. I don't like empty glasses and full people staring down at plates with scraps and they seemed to be Johnny on making sure that was covered. Food is Applebee's.... if you are still reading that's the end.

    I had a date night at your restaurant and it was a great experience. We wanted to catch the niners football game and with all the TV's, you sure didn't disappoint. This was our second date and the food was just as good as the first. The ambiance was another great factor and service was great as well. Thanks and we'll definitely be back 😊

    There was some sort of electronic mix up and our order was lost. When they realized the error, they restarted the order but started cooking a 6 oz steak instead of the 8oz we ordered. The manager decided that the best way to deal with this was to bring us the food and tell us that another steak was already being cooked. She never asked us if that's what we wanted, just told us that was being done. Of course, we didn't touch the second steak because we had already been there for an hour and a half and had other plans. The device at the table didn't work properly so we had to wait for our waiter to deal with our check, which he did fairly quickly. They comped the steak we didn't ask for, so I guess that's something.

    I think this Applebee's is ok place to eat. I thought the staff were friendly, and food was ok. I recommend going during a week day, because it gets busy on weekends. I noticed you will receive all your food and appetizers at the same time during there busy hours. Overall, I think it was an ok experience.

  • 3/5 Guy F. 1 year ago on Google
    All u can eat special $15.00. it was ok. I asked for a second round of shrimp. Got 6 pieces. Was surprised that was all. I stopped there. Food was pretty good, but not overly impressed. Waitress was pretty good, but stopped by 5 times to ask if everything was ok. Overkill on that.

    I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Scampi, it was so delicious. Our waitress was very attentive. Great atmosphere. That's why it's my favorite place to eat out.

  • 3/5 Jhonny J. 1 year ago on Google
    It's "ok" My wife found hairs! Yes! plural! she was not hungry anymore and they replaced the meal. They gave it to us in a bag. When we got home, the meal in the bag was a completely different order. Good bar service 👏

  • 5/5 Jill L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the all you could eat boneless wing special and it was delicious. Portions were bigger than I expected could not order a second round as I was full! Was unable to finish fries and great coleslaw and that says alot as normally I do not like coleslaw.

    I sure enjoy your restaurant for lunch it’s a great place to sit down for a fast place to eat. Your restaurant is popular and a great place for people to go. I love chocolate dessert with that hot fudge that is the best dessert there and I hope you keep it.

  • 4/5 Norse M. 1 year ago on Google
    My steak was great. Hot and cooked perfectly. I upgraded the sides and both the French fries and green beans were cold. Server was polite and efficient.

  • 1/5 Jasper B. 1 year ago on Google
    Last time eating there! Floors were very dirty! Food was terrible! Chips were well over fried and came as clumps! Food tasted as bad as it looks. Mushroom and Swiss burger tasted like salt!

  • 4/5 Karen K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few restaurants in town with enough staff to offer great service. I personally wish prices were lower, onions other than red, and items without spicy stuff. That's just me and my food sensitivities. Good place.

  • 4/5 K. R. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick sit down and eat. We both had chicken Caesar salad I wanted no croutons and dressing on the side got the dressing on the side but there were croutons and two wasted garlic sticks because I asked for no croutons meaning not interested in bread didn't think to ask for no garlic stick. Food was okay. Service was good.

    I LOVED Applebee's. It was the only place in Bemidji I enjoyed Chicken Alfredo. Today though (06/09/2022) - I ordered the usual Alfredo, got home - took a few bites, and found a BLONDE hair in my food wrapped between the noodles. My hair is Black! I did NOT finish and threw a lot of it away. I tried calling them three times, and no answer. Sadly, will NOT be going back here again.

  • 5/5 Melissa W. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I like eating at Applebee's. Wherever we go, we always go to Applebee's where the service and food are always great. We went to the Applebee's in Bemidji MN. Our waitress, Aliya B was awesome. Aliya B made sure we were satisfied with our meal. She told us the specials of the night. Would be nice if there were options for vegans. We'll return when we are in the area again.

    Thank you to the anonymous person who bought my meal yesterday. I am visiting from Fargo. Such a generous gesture. I loved the orange chicken bowl. Server's were very friendly. Nice atmosphere. To the person who bought my dinner I will pay it forward at Applebee's in Fargo during my next visit.
