Applebee's in Mesa

“Great place to relax and have a meal food was spot on, couldn't ask for better service the staff were very friendly my waiter LM was very helpful and took care of us with everything we needed. Highly recommend this place if you can't make up your mind on where to eat.“

“I had my daughters baby shower here yesterday morning and the service was great. Kaylee was our server and she made sure we had all we needed. Riley was the bartender who made fantastic drinks. The cooks were on point and all the food came out great with no complaints from the party. Taliyah the host made sure to check on us frequently. Nina the manager checked in a few times to make sure we were happy! Overall a great party. Thank you to the brown and highly staff.“

“What a difference from the Alma School location, which we left to come to this one due to horrible service.
We sat right away, server (Shy) was there within seconds. The whole experience was perfect except for one burger that wasn't cooked correctly, but Shy took care of it. We'll be back, well done everyone. Maybe send your management to the Alma location to fix that one.“

“I can vividly remember one of my first visits to an Applebee’s way back in the 1980s in Northern Virginia’s town of Falls Church! At the time, there were not a lot of really, really good big box or conglomerate restaurants packing the eating industry – yet Applebee’s was and to some extent in such a competitive world is holding its own today… I’m glad to say, especially for nostalgic purposes. It was one of the first to actually create a neighborhood pub feel to it. I’ve been somewhat fond of this American-style, casual dining establishment over the years. With its overall consistency, reliability and dependability, despite the various iterations corporate has demanded of them! This outfit has gone through the gamut of offerings throughout the years, and their recent meal renderings are not much different in their marketing for one’s attraction. But down deep, people keep Applebee’s alive, because we are content with its overall expectations. We know what we want, and we can pretty much expect what we want when visiting. They are no Ruth Christ’s or Flemming’s, but then again, we don’t expect them to be. Applebee’s your comfort food with a twist. This is one of the few conglomerates operating restaurants that can actually provide 1) amazing service: 4.0 , 2) excellent attention to detail especially in hospitality: 3.5 , 3) cleanliness, hygiene and comfort in their décor, amenities and lavatories: 3.5 , 4) an abundant and/or varied food and/or product menu: 4.0 , 5) consistently appetizing offerings: 3.5 , 6) a sincere customer service: 3.5 , 7) unique, innovative or specialized menus: 4.0 , 8) value and price of meals: 3.5 , and most of all, 9) the inert desire of one wanting to return, again and again for the experience gained: 4.0 . These are some if not most of what my basic requirements are when visiting one of these establishments each time. My wife and I, although not professional reviewers, are connoisseurs of excellent foods whether a fine upscale cuisine, middle of the road common eats, or a low-end fast-food joint. In this way, I have developed a to-the-point method for determining the personal worthiness of each establishment visited as noted in my opening. Simplified, each requisite noted for the establishment visited best scored by my highest score offered. Applebee’s scores a 3.72 of a potential 5.0 – well above average. The meals overall whether getting Ultimate Trio, a Choose 3 appetizers, a 2 for $25 or their skillets, chicken, pasta, seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, sides, desserts and/or drinks – there’s something for everyone.“
