Applebee's Grill + Bar

Very good experience, we visited this location today, and took advantage of their 2 for 25 special, sat fast with no wait, bone wings were great, and chicken fettuccini was delicious!

Dianne was our server. She was rude and short with us throughout our experience, and was quick to give us the receipts the moment we mentioned split checks. She kept turning away and walking away when we'd asked for small things or had questions. Seeing a few other reviews listed, it seems she is a big problem at this location with a few showing that this month alone she has gotten nasty with customers. Although it didn't break into a screaming match, like others on here have experienced, her entire attitude gave that we were wasting her time or impeding on her other customers or tipping opportunities. It was rather disgusting behaviour. This happened just an hour ago (if even) today, June 15, for fathers day. We were also mourning the lose of my uncle who's birthday is today as well. And we ordered the endless meals. Quite literally didn't even get our fill with how quickly she wanted us out. We did involve the manager, and although she listened, seeing some other instances about Dianne gives me a feeling that nothing has or will be done. It's a shame that we couldn't even enjoy a meal with our small family because someone felt we were insignificant. And the look she gave when we involved the manager gave it all away that she was used to it. We hadn't been to this location in a while, and it seems we wont be back. Shame, because this was the location my dead uncle enjoyed, and we wanted to make it a decent fathers day. But it seems an employee felt otherwise.

Three cheese mac and cheese was more like penne pasta with a little bit of cheese soup. 2 tiny chicken tenders for the meat.....No flavor....server was eating her dinner and not attending to us. I had to call for her and look for her twice.

Not sufficient seating for 6 in the corner both. Not suitable for 60 and above. Food was good or mine was. I did appetizers waffle fries loaded and wonton tacos. But they were not compatible together but as individuals they were great!

Me and my family went to Applebee's Monday 1/6/2025. There was a big snow storm the prior day, so the wait staff was very small. When we walked in, we were seated around other groups, all in one area. I suppose to help with managing orders. When our waitress (dianne) came by she asked for our drink orders. My mom and I ordered water my son a lemonade and my daughter a pop rock soda. When the wait staff came back we placed our orders the meals that my kids ordered came with a drink. (Not the pop rock drink). So I asked the wait staff to bring my daughter a lemonade when she was done with her previous drink. When we recieved our receipt I noticed that Dianne had charged me for my daughter lemonade which was suppose to be included in her combo, so I asked Dianna to remove it. At that point Dianne became angry asking me why did she need to remove it it was only a drink it's not a big deal. She was loud and walking up in my face she snatched my receipt from my hand and said fine ill handle it. When she came back with my receipt she noticed that she was wrong and offered an apology but the deed was already done. she yelled and belittle me infront of my family and other customers I will not be returning to this location and maybe no other location either

The food was delicious. I got the bacon burger combo. The bourbon flavor was delicious. The burger was so big I could only eat half. The rest was even better the next day. I felt crowded. The hostess was seating everyone in the same area. One group of customers got up and moved to the bar area, and then others followed. I'm not sure what was going on. Our waitress was nice. She was helping a new girl who was a bit behind. It was a good lunch.

I have a day off work w/o the kids and I decided to treat myself. Maybe it’s because I’m from a small town where Applebees is one of the only restaurants but I always crave their food. 🤣WHO is working today? My food is hot, fresh, good and picture taking worthy! 10/10 utensils, condiments EVERYTHING came in the bag. This is usually unheard of for a door dash order

The Service was good. The drink's were top notch. Now the food was a different story. We have eaten this same meal here before and really enjoyed it. We both had the blackened salmon the sides were ok but the salmon was to dry it tasted like it was a little old. We were not impressed. It has been excellent the other times that we have eaten here.

During the 2025 extended xmas break snow days my niece ordered food and I picked it up. The service was quick and convenient. I appreciate how fast they got to me and her food was ready when they said it would be. There were people eating inside and it didn't seem like the workers were put off by the weather. Thanks for making our snow day yummy

What is going on with Applebee's chicken breast on the Fiesta lime chicken? Is it cloned?! Seriously. It's like hard rubbery texture! It's not this particular store or this meal or the preparation. I've noticed it lately and today's was worse! Somebody tell me it's cloned so I at least have an explanation why the whole breast is like gristle

So where back in the Neighborhood .. The Hubby was trying to be all romatical for Valentine's Day so we decided not to venture too far from home.. we were pleasantly surprised that this is the place to be.. it's off the hook and our bartender is our favorite host Eric was behind the bar and greeted us when we came in and he knew my hubby drink of preference "Bud Light" and He surprised me with a drink that he made up.. Service was fast and great. And as always the atmosphere was friendly sorta have a "Cheers" vibe but without Woody & Norm!

I went in and ordered a beer and 2 small appetizers. (7435 E Washinton St.) After waiting for 33 minutes, I decide to leave. People who came in after me were getting their orders, no one came around and ask how I was doing or if everything was ok. After I told the bartender (I was sitting at the bar) I needed my check, she then went back and checked for my food. I asked her why they had not been able to get my food out to me, she said the kitchen was bumping orders in front of mine. Pretty disappointing, not sure what's happening at this place but it needs some type of adult supervision. Stay away from this location, it used to be pretty good but the last 2-3 times I have been there, it keeps getting worse.

I just want to start with saying my friends and I frequently come to this establishment, however today we had an awful experience. Since we came in we were greeted poorly, after explaining to the host we had a large group (8) she said we had to have two separate tables due to policies of the restaurant. We asked if we could move to the larger booth in the corner of the restaurant which we did but one person was still left out and tried to add an extra chair on the side of the booth which were told it was NOT okay to put it there. So we had to move the 3rd time and this time it was at the bar, we had to high tops which the server herself try to put it together. After a few minutes the "manager" came out to tell us the tables at the bar were too closed together and that the "GM" was going crazy over it as they was looking through the cameras. At this point we had already ordered our drinks, but as we was celebrating my friend's birthday its was a bummer to not be able to sit together. The server was really sweet and apologized, but unfortunately we had to get up and leave, the manager didn't even try to help out over the situation, neither the GM could show up. From now on we will NOT be visiting, they've lost some loyal customers over such a small disagreement that could've been solved in a different way. We would've been okay if they didn't have such terrible attitudes. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE especially on a birthday celebration!

We haven't ate here in a long time and thought we would try it tonight for dinner, but it just wasn't good. I got the Four Cheese Mac and cheese with chicken tenders, and it was very plain with barely any sauce - tasted like I was only eating cooked noodles. My husband got the Whiskey burger - we ordered it medium and unfortunately it was completely uncooked in the middle. The breadstick that comes with the pasta is hard, dry and plain. I wish the pasta actually had some sauce I could dip it into to make up for it. The onion rings were the only decent item out of everything else. I feel like Applebee's used to be good years ago, but now it's hard to get any decent food from them.

Early birthday dinner with my sister. We were seated immediately and the service was prompt and the waitress was friendly and personable.

terrible service. was waiting to be seated and had to wait over a hour to be seated because there was no open tables, but no one was updating us on how long it would be or try to accommodate us for the wait. it was not a large party of people (just 4 of us) so very concerning as to why the wait was so long and there was no effective communication between the staff and us as customers. will never recommend or return if this is how this restaurant/staff "serve" people.

I writing this because my granddaughter had a horrible experience at the Applebees on East Washington st, she has severe allergies and informed her server about them, please no tomatoes or anything with tomato base products, then they bought out a hamburger with tomato based sauce, she had to send bac, then they bought out another hamburger with tomato on the bottom of the hamburger, please instruct your server that this is life threatening to people with allergies, please take them seriously

Our server aphrodite was absolutely amazing! great attitude, quick yet personable and just all around awesome. Food was good too but service here really stood out! Thanks queen

Such a bad experience. My family decided to come here to try their all you can eat $14.99 special. It took awhile to get seated which was expected due to the special. I have a 3 year old and 1 yr old. Asked for high chairs several times after being seated. Never got one until I noticed a family with a high chair leaving and asked could I have that chair. They moved use to the bigger section were the high chair was after being cleaned because I had a party of 5. Which was appreciated. We were given a new server that was her 3rd day there so, she literally had to go to the back for each and every question we had. She was definitely not ready for the floor. So I guess they forgot to change the seating and gave our food to the other table. We had to wait another 45 minutes for food. When we finally got the food we had no silverware, so waited another 10 minutes to eat. I end up getting Salmon that was the saltiest piece of fish I've ever ate in my life. The Caesar salad looked old. The all you can eat shrimp was good. But that's about it. The manager came out and tried to fix it which she kinda did. By offering a dessert ( CinnaBon cinnamon rolls) that unfortunately was not done. As we waited for dessert and "all you can eat " refills. She stated that they were not put in. So she put a rush order for 2 more orders. Definitely will not be back. This was such a disappointment. Would not recommend.

Food is good, service has its ups and downs, if you're a regular and get the same server

We went during their promotional all you can eat ribs and chicken strips, it was pretty good. It's nice that you can switch between ordering ribs or chicken. The ribs do have lots of small bones which are tiring to eat around. The service was great, our server was quick to refill our ribs/chicken as well as our drinks. You definitely need to eat a LOT to feel like you got your money's worth, I was full after an order and a half of food. The first plate is a fairly regular sized order (2 slabs of ribs or 5/6 chicken strips) after that the portions get smaller. It's a pretty good deal if you can eat more than 2 orders.

The Applebeees on 86th and Ditch road has terrible service. We went for lunch, so we only had an hour. The waitress took our order for drinks brought them right away; took our order for food and never came back. We had to flag another waitress down to check on our order. She said it would be to us soon. So we waited another 1/2 hour and had to leave. Sooo disappointed.

I went here with 3 friends to get out of the house and try the $6 dollar Halloween drinks (we are all over 21). The drinks were very festive, and strong, and had cute spooky decorations/names. It was the waitress's first day working by herself and she did amazing. She was incredibly helpful when we didn't know what we wanted and refilled our waters often. They had several TVs, we will probably go back if there's a game we want to watch. There was a parking spot right in front of the door, so it was easy and stress-free. Our waitress made it easy for us to split appetizers! Would definitely recommend this location!

I won't turn away from there Wonton Tacos.... I'm so addicted to them I eat them at least 2-4 times a week... I normally go to the one n Castleton Square... Good Tacos

So unprofessional not crowded and lots of open tables said it would be over 30 minutes will not be back to this location because of bad management!!!

Tried the Monday night burger special and the long island drink special. The long island was ok, The burger we received was not the burger we ordered, but too much time passed without being checked on, so we ate it. The burger was pretty good, and it came with fries. We sat at the bar. Our server was very nice but maybe a little lax in her level of attentiveness. When we told her about the burger, she apologized but made no other effort beyond that. It is Applebee's, but just comparing Applebee's to Applebee's, it's ok. I've been to better and been to worse.

Wouldn't recommend. I tried placing a ubereats order at 10:15. Waited for it to be fullfilled and it was canceled due to the full slab being out of stock? Called the location the said no we have plenty, try grub hub. So I ordered at 10:30 from grubhub. Got several updates when the order would be delivered and who would be bringing it. So at 12:07 I call the location again because we never received our order. Get 3 people on the phone and all the sudden they say they just got the order and I get a message that the order was canceled. All I get is a sorry. Horrible customer service and not reliable!

Oh Applebee's, sometimes your better than others and this wasn't one of those times. This location is always particularly busy when we come here. My sister loves their boneless chicken wings, so here we are. We arrived and were advised there was a 20 minute wait. Observing that there were many open tables throughout the restaurant. While we were waiting there was a waitress that we observed running around griping about something repeatedly. After 30 plus minutes we were finally seated. The hostess walked us through the bar area and around to the seating area. I only point that out as my sister is under age. Our waiter was very polite and professional but obviously running around like chicken with it's head cut off. He came over to great us and let us know that he would be right back. He came to take our drink order and we asked to place our food order at the same time to help expedite things. Our salads came out quickly and were good and fresh, then our wings came out and were a tad bit over done and swimming in sauce but by this time we were hungry and made due. We both ordered the chicken and pasta dish which was tasty and well prepared. Score for this visit: Wait: 1 Other Waitress: 1 Our Waiter: 9 Food: 6 Typically Applebee's is a solid place to eat when you are looking for fairly quick non fast food. I am sure that we will be back for more boneless chicken wings as they are typically on point!

Great place to buy apples if you ask me. Be careful which apple you pick, the bees like to feed off of them

Great timely service! I ordered online and was satisfied with the entire order. Unfortunately I had a problem with the site and the Manager - I hope I got the name right-Anita helped me out greatly!!!

Applebee's apparently isn't responsible for food they messed through Uber. Only two meals ordered and one was left off I'm left with crying girlfriend and was told I can get my money back through Uber. Idiot my girlfriend can't eat money back for dinner. You were our plan for dinner and your not even responsible for that. You made me mad and I'm not done with you

Stop in to celebrate this lovely ladies birthday our server Arie was very attentive and really sweet thank you again everybody we will be back because it's what we do check 1-2

Free appetizers never came from waitress not asking us if we wanted the drink special.. My husbands food came out and was NOTHING like it read on the menu... My chicken tenders were hard as bricks.. I didn't have the time to complain there because it took us 30 plus minutes to be seated and we had a movie to get to.. We were very disappointed in the service and quality of food and may not be back to this location or any Applebees.

this restaurant has terrible service! We waited 45 mins for a table of 4 adults an one child , when asked if we could use a booster they stated they didn't have any available. Once we received our table being that I'm in the serviced industry I explained to my party we should be patient because they did seem fairly busy. Our waitress Candace finally got in touch with our table and she took our entire order with our drinks. So another 35 minutes passed before we were informed they didn't have the drinks we desired which wasn't an issue , but all in all It shouldn't take that long to inform your guest of problem of such , after we received our drinks we patiently waited for our appetizers an hadn't seen or heard from Candace so by now we're here over 2 & half hrs before we received any drinks or appetizers. As our child got impatient seeing guest who sat down in the same section with Candace receive FULL drink an food orders. That's when I decided to ask Kelly who is the manager on duty how much longer our appetizers would be seeing that we had already waited such a long time. She proceeded to tell me that due to them not having our drink of choice that it was an issue with our food being delivered which I never understood because being a server I do know that alcoholic or even NON alcoholic drinks does not effect your appetizers or entre orders . This place is unprofessional an lacks proper management

Eat here if you don't care what you're eating. I have been going to this applebees for years, and slowly they have driven me away and finally I am no longer going. The service is fine, but their food is super high in sodium and very high in calories. They had a couple dishes that fit within a healthy calorie diet and they were neatly contained in a low calorie menu. That worked for me quite nicely, and I went there because of that. Recently they did away with this menu, spread the low calorie items among the other items and discontinued the meal I ate most often. I tried, but it is a total pain to seek out and try to have an idea of exactly what you are eating here. I often brought groups of four+ on my suggestion. They knew my face and greeted me like a friend. I was lying $90+ checkNo more. Recently I got in a relationship with a girl who is lactose intolerant, and who's daughter is very allergic to peanuts. So between having no calorie info easily available, and no allergen info on their menu, it's just too hard to care and eat here. I feel almost embarrassed by the staff reaction when I have to ask for an allergen menu, because they have to go searching for it, then I want to know nutritional info... basically it sucks eating here if you care about what you are eating. I tried calling and talking to a manager on a Wednesday evening, and sat listening to static on hold for 10min before giving up. I'm sure they will stay in business, but they have lost mine. Bummer too, I like the curb side service. As an update: I just realized that when they charged me for a dessert in error they gave me a $5 off coupon to make it up to me. Only problem... the coupon was already over a week expired when they handed it to me.

Yes yes a chain again.. The guilt is real! But sometimes you just need a place for a quick stop off for lunch, and this is the place! The east Washington location is run very efficiently and is always clean! The menu is pretty standard has a lot of different options in regards to what you can get. My fave is the chicken quesadilla, they have a nice bar as well with domestic and mixed drinks. Another perk if you are in a rush is that you can order curb side service which I think is amazing.. Applebee's on Washington is certainly worth a stop if you are in the area

You had me at Oriental Chicken Salad.... but other than that dish, Applebee's is just OK. I used to love this Applebee's because it was easy to find something on the menu for all ages and picky eaters on a budget. Now, they took the good items off the 2 entrees + 1 appetizer =$20 menu. The ambiance is not great. It's pretty loud and unruly at this location at times and the service can be hit or miss. In the end I am addicted to the Oriental Chicken Salad, therefore I will always return as long as it is on the menu. Pro-tip to save a life: The Car Side To Go carryout service is on point if you already donned your pajamas.

Can't give it more than 1 star. We went in and was ignored for more than 5 min. They weren't busy. There was one couple in front of us that you could tell had been waiting. She was handicapped and they asked for a booth. They took her to a booth upstairs!!! Meanwhile we still haven't been acknowledge. Not even a hi. The hostess walked by us 3 times and never even said a word or looked our way. After 8 min. We left. The worst service in the world.

Server made my entire family cry after calling my SPECIAL NEEDS SON a RETARD for taking to long to decide what he wanted to eat. MANAGER LAUGHED.

Pretty standard Applebee's fare. Located right off the interstate it was convenient for us to stop in for lunch during a recent road trip. My Dad had the Thai shrimp from the lighter fare menu and he enjoyed that. I got a sirloin that I had ordered medium rare, it was more medium well but it wasn't too tough so I just ate without saying anything. The server was attentive and kept the drinks full, and even offered to go cups. Overall a perfectly good lunch experience but not anything to write home about.

Today at applebees is super busy and the waiter is trying hard but there seems to be NO team work. I asked a hostess who was doing NOTHING for a refill for my son and she was rude as HELL. She said "tell yr serve I'm just a hostess". I worked as a hostess and server for many years and when it is this busy it is ALL HANDS ON DECK! The dishes was also dirty, which we didn't see till we finished our plates. The server and food quality get 2 thumbs up. The rude lazy hostess with the long brown pony tail and the dish washer both SUCK

After the hostess and waitresses settled the argument over whose section we would be sitting in, we were seated in a low- to mediocre- waitresses table. Her unpleasant disposition made us wish had gotten the other girl's section. The food was ok, and portions were generous. Glad we don't live here, so this will be a one time visit.

Super slow waited 30 min to get my food after my table mates got theirs. Old lady working hardly actually cleaned the tables just spritzed it and wiped half it off no more effort than that. Food was good tho

My friends & I decided to go to applebee's tonight to enjoy the new $1 drinks and their 12.99 boneless wings special. When we got there the restaurant was about 75% full, however there were plenty of open tables and booths. The host took about 5 minutes to walk over to us, but we weren't worried about it. Our server was quick to come over and take & deliver our drink orders. When we asked her a question her response, repeatedly, was "it works just as it says." never actually answering our question. It took about 15 minutes to get us our side salads and an additional 10 for our 2 orders of wings. Our server however was very funny & she made her bad service, seem not so bad. food was decent.

I visit here very often. Good place to go to hang out with friends for cheap. Half price apps are always the best. Favorite server Earl other than that service is mediocre.

I ordered two meals they put ones meal sides on mine which had bacon and I'm allergic to bacon i want my money back since i can't eat it !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food is always good. Price is decent for what you get by comparison. Servers are always friendly. My hang out spot with my girls, kids, or by myself.

This is possibly the worst Applebee's I've been to. My family and I sat at our table for at least 10 minutes before we even saw OUR FIRST server for a drink order. A good 10 minutes later a second server comes to our table completely confused. The only positive thing I have to say is that our food came out hot. Overall unsatisfactory service.

I live close by so I frequent this location to watch some Big 10 games. I always sit in the bar area and the service has been subpar. I've only had one server who did not only a good job, but a great job! Wish I remembered her name, but it's been a few months. The food is always pretty good, but it doesn't come out in a timely manner usually. The car side Togo is usually always on time though. If management cleaned the place up some and expressed to the servers or taught some to have better customer service it would be a great place. Until that happens though I wouldn't recommend dining in unless you have time to kill or are extremely patient.

Food was great, but Danielle was a horrible waitress! Hope she realized we did not appreciate her inability to waitress when we left her no tip. Had to ask multiple times for items. Silverware, oh, I had to go find someone to get it for us after we already had our food for several minutes. Had to ask twice for a box for leftovers. She put all our orders on one check, then she had to correct it. She spent most of her time chatting with the party at the table next to us. Very poor service!!! Also, when we entered the restaurant, the hostess and another worker had their backs to us. Hostess turned her head twice and noticed us standing there, but did not acknowledge us. Finally when they were done chatting, we were acknowledged and taken to a booth.

Staff is very rude and wait is long. I went hoping to not spend any more than an hour, ended up taking almost 3.

Normally when I come to Applebee's the service and food is just okay. Tonight was the opposite. The all day brunch burger is amazing. It reminded me of eating the hangover burger at bunion's casino in Las Vegas. I added lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. It is in my top 5 of best burgers of all time. Jennifer G was an amazing server. Very friendly and personable. She kept up on drink refills. Our glass never went empty. Best service I've ever had at an Applebee's.

Visited this Applebees with a group of co-workers for dinner. I haven't been to any Applebees in forever, mostly due to the same kind of issues we experienced tonight. Service was slow, despite the almost empty restaurant when we arrived. Our server needed constant reminders that we'd like drink refills, or that we would like to order food. Things did improve after mentioning to another server the problems we were having. Still, some of the food arrived to the table cold, I ordered my steak prepared medium and it was cooked well done. I'm glad my employer footed this bill, as I could've prepared a better meal at home.

I order the Full Rack of RIbs Dinner to go , get home the Ribs are tough as can be I mean I never had Ribs this tough to break apart in my life , once I bite into the Ribs it's was even worse so I immediately look to see if the Ribs had been thoroughly cook and from what I can tell they hadn't .my guess they didn't prep the ribs & rush the ribs once I order them which you can't do or you'll get the results I got tough hard to eat Ribs!!!! Only reason I didn't give it a 1star was because the Lady who gave me my food was pleasant & showed great customers service not knowing my dinner was about to be a disaster, but your cooks need a lesson on preparing ribs the correct way.

Went with some friends to have some drinks and food. Waited to be seated which was fine, put drink and food orders in and waited 30 minutes to even get ONE WATER. Terrible service. Every time I come to this location it's always something. Dry wings, terrible service, food is cold, alcohol drinks taste like water, I'm not sure how this location is still operating. Management needs some help.

Went to Applebee's for dinner last night had a really good time with my wife we had the sangria and the top shelf Long Island ice tea, it was really good, we also had the whiskey burger and fettuccine Alfredo both were real good and the drinks were a little water down but I would recommend.

An Applebee's is an Applebee's is an Applebee's. But it's hard to find a non-chainbplace to eat at this time of night. Their appetizer special after nine puts every appetizer at $4.59 (used to be $3.99) and the shredded pork wonton tacos and the chicken quesadillas are both really good. Their 3 mini burgers with fries are really good on their roll-like buns
