    We called before coming here because Google showed the live data that it is busier than usual. Mind you, we have kids so we do not want to wait long. The guy who answered said there is no wait and we would be seated upon arrival. We were no more than five minutes when I called, we get there and it turns out there is a 45 minute wait!! Yes, we chose to wait and eat because everything else is closed or closing. Food was decent, the appetizer tasted better than the entrée. The spinach/artichoke dip was my personal favorite. The highlight of this dine in, the dessert.

    Good neighborhood restaurant with a friendly staff. Lots of TV screens make it a good place for dinner while watching Monday Night Football.

    We had a problem with our food and our waiter went above and beyond fixing it for us and making sure we were good. He was extremely busy seeing as all his tables were full yet you couldn't tell. He was very attentive to us and the tables around us. They made my nephew's first experience eating out at an Applebee's an amazing one. He just kept saying I can't believe how nice these people are.

    Great service, both bar tenders (Javier and quite don’t remember the name of the other bar gerber but nice person) very friendly and attentive. Good was delicious, I ordered the all you can eat for $15, I really liked the riblets and I’m not a rib person but these were delicious, fresh and perfect temperature. Had 2 of their smooch drinks ($6 each) very delicious. I came from the other Applebees in Visalia (3400 S Mooney Blvd Visalia Ca), this other Applebees had horrible rude service from the bar tender and the manager.

    Dude!! Dashiki was the best server!! Also have to say this place made me realize there really are good people out there still. I flew out from NY to visit my family as I grew here in the valley in Coalinga. We left after a wonderful meal to head back to Fresno and got about 10 min down 198 then I realized I forgot my phone, we called and they said it was found in the bathroom! Thank you to the person that found it and turned it in! 🤘🏼💚✌🏼😊

    Got together with friends for happy hour, local casual atmosphere, very reasonable prices for appetizers and drinks, friendly service. The hot wings were far to salty for me. But the pretzels were perfect very little salt. My friend picked a Bahama mama for me very good flavor and a perfect sunset drink for the day

    Waiter was very nice and attentive. Food was perfectly cooked and hot. Very happy with the overall experience. Definitely going back to this location (Akers/198).

    This is a nice Applebee’s with good service. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into this Applebee’s and was told I had a ten minute wait, so I waited in the seated waiting area by the host. After ten minutes he sat me at my table. While I was reading the menu, two servers accidentally brought food to me instead of a different table. I ordered a lemonade with no ice, which tasted good, and the battered shrimp with a side of buffalo sauce. However, the restaurant was out of shrimp, so I got the fish and chips instead, which comes with french fries. The fish tasted good and the fries tasted good too, both exceeding my expectations. The buffalo sauce made a nice addition to the meal as it was a tasty dipping sauce for both the fish and french fries. The service I received by the waitress helping me was outstanding, as she was nice and professional. When two servers brought me food for someone else, she showed up and directed them to the right table. As I was sitting down and the two other servers were bringing someone food, she pointed out to them that someone’s food had something they couldn’t have, so they had to send it back to the kitchen. This was impressive because she managed to be a great waitress while watching over other people as well to make sure they completed their orders correctly. I gave this Applebee’s five stars because it has good food and I received great service from here. There’s also a beautiful fountain in front of the restaurant.

    Our waitress was excellent in her craft. Thank you! Her communication skills were next-level emotionally intelligent, without being forced.

    Adam was a great waiter. Great customer service skills. Kept coming by to see if my granddaughter and I were ok and in need of anything else. The steak was delicious. And my granddaughter age 10 loved the melted chocolate cake and ice cream 👍

    Comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Excellent table service from an outgoing, energetic, capable server. Busy night due to local school graduations with subsequent celebratory meals. But food was served promptly and with very good quality level. Recommended enthusiastically.

    Gloria was an excellent server! Thank you for providing a wonderful dining experience! This place is, per usual, delicious, clean, and comfortable. I feel like the 2 for $30 portions could be about 2-4 oz larger though. Again, thank you Gloria! I recommend and will be back soon.

    Been 4 times. Each time I asked for a specific tapped beer, its out. Asked for a bottled? Nope. Asked for a mixed drink...didnt have parts to mix it. Not completely unpopular drinks. But disappointing nonetheless. Food is always good. I always eventually found a drink to enjoy. Stock your bars! 😉🍻🥃🍺🍹🍸

    This is an excellent environment to visit with family and friends. The service from the staff is top notch. The individual who supports all this is Kristen the night manager. She is always inspiring her staff to exceed the customers' wants and needs. Kristen is dedicated to ensure each and every guest an exemplary experence.

    Food was fresh, fast and hot to our table. Besides our meals being delicious I have to say that Gloria has to be the BEST server we've experienced in a long time.

  • 5/5 Wayne W. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a good place to eat or get a cocktail / beer. Environment and staff works with a family outing, or just sitting alone having a beer. Very nice waitresses. Good food.

  • 3/5 Jessica K. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was amazing but the food was not so great, it was OK but not great.. my husband eats EVERYTHING and couldn't stomach to finish his bourbon chicken and shrimp dish, the mango strawberry margaritas were delish though.

    Good food and good service, what more does one need 🙂

  • 5/5 malachai l. 1 year ago on Google
    The food came to the table at a timely manner. When it arrived it was obvious that it was freshly made. The servers were not only patient with us but very friendly and kind. I would definitely return here again.

    Its began great with amazing service but spiraled down hill when I found a piece of paper in my burger. The staff was nice enough to get me another and took it off my overall bill. Waiting staff 4 starts cooking staff 2 stars overall 3 starts my kids meals seemed fine. Bartending overall 3 stars drinks seemed a bit watered down.

    We went here because it is close to our house and we didn’t feel like driving across town for a decent steak. When we checked in we were told it was going to be a 15-20 minute wait but we were seated in less than 10. Of course they were out of the rib-eye steaks which is the only steak I get from here, so I ordered a bourbon street steak (a sirloin) with the garlic green beans instead of the potatoes. What I got was what could only be described as a child’s toy football that was partially deflated (see the picture). It was tough and was seared only on one side. The green beans were so under cooked that the actual beans were crunchy. More times than not were disappointed in this place, we will not make this mistake again. For about $10 more you can get much better steaks from Outback or Tahoe Joe’s. I told my wife that Applebee’s steaks are good for people who haven’t had good steaks. I will say the best part of our meal was the pretzel and cheese appetizer, that was good!
