Alright, buckle up, buttercup, because I'm about to unleash a tirade so potent, it'll singe the very fabric of Applebee's polyester-blend tablecloths. I ventured into this culinary black hole, this beige abyss of microwaved mediocrity, with the naive hope of a simple, unpretentious meal. What I received was a masterclass in how to systematically dismantle the very concept of edible sustenance. Let's start with the "atmosphere," shall we? Imagine a dimly lit waiting room at a dentist's office, but instead of the soothing hum of a fish tank, you're serenaded by a cacophony of screaming children, the tinny echo of overplayed pop music, and the persistent, low-grade hum of a thousand flickering fluorescent lights trying desperately to convince you that this is, in fact, "neighborhood." The decor? A perplexing blend of generic sports memorabilia, faux-vintage signs that scream "I peaked in 1997," and enough sticky surfaces to trap a small insect colony. Then there's the menu. A laminated testament to culinary crimes against humanity. Pages upon pages of deep-fried, sugar-laden, sodium-soaked "delights" that read like a fever dream of a food scientist who's just discovered high-fructose corn syrup. I ordered the "Classic Combo," a name that implies some semblance of tradition and quality. What I got was a plate that looked like a Jackson Pollock painting done with various shades of brown and orange. The mozzarella sticks, those supposed pillars of appetizer perfection, were lukewarm, rubbery, and tasted vaguely of industrial cleaning solution. The chicken wings, advertised as "crispy," were flaccid and swimming in a sauce that tasted suspiciously like ketchup mixed with regret. The onion rings? Let's just say they achieved a level of sogginess previously thought unattainable by modern science. And the service! Oh, the service. My server, bless their heart, seemed to be operating on a three-second delay. They delivered my lukewarm "food" with the enthusiasm of a sloth being asked to run a marathon, and then proceeded to vanish into the shadowy recesses of the kitchen, only to reappear when I'd resigned myself to a life of eternal hunger. Refills? Forget about it. Clean plates? A myth whispered in hushed tones by seasoned Applebee's veterans. The final insult? The bill. For the privilege of consuming this culinary catastrophe, I was charged an exorbitant amount of money. Money that could have been better spent on literally anything else – a lottery ticket, a bus ticket out of town, a donation to a charity dedicated to rescuing taste buds from the horrors of chain restaurant cuisine. Applebee's isn't just bad. It's an existential crisis masquerading as a dining experience. It's a place where dreams go to die, where flavor is a distant memory, and where the only thing you'll leave with is a profound sense of disappointment and a lingering aftertaste of processed despair. Avoid this place like a dumpster fire at a chemical plant. Your stomach, your wallet, and your soul will thank you.

This is absolutely the worst restaurant I've been to in a long time! This place might have 25 people sitting down, yet we have been waiting for 20 min to be seated. Walked in and there was no employees in sight. There were two other couples came in after us and they left.. the staff looks confused, and the hostess acts like she is on drugs and very rude. Pretty much threw the menus at us. . If it wasn't so late I would definitely be going somewhere else..

I've been to many Applebee's over the years but this one was not good. Our server was not the most kind in the world. I asked her if they still had the $9.99 meal deal and she didn't know if it had expired yet or not. She had to go double check. My son ordered a milkshake and it took long to come and didn't taste all that great. To be honest, the food wasn't very good either. My son and I both got burgers and they weren't good. I know it's a chain restaurant but the quality was not worth the $9.99. We were catching a show at ASU Gammage and had eaten here before. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be going back to this location anytime soon. Maybe tonight was a bad night... but I'd rather spend my dollars elsewhere.

IS IT WORTH YOUR TIME ? “THE TRUTH”
Honestly it’s not worth the time as far as today went. I took my family everyone ordered a burger and they came out ok and our appetizers were decent but the wings looked gross ( had some kind of chilli powder sprinkled all over never had that before. I order the ribs and they were nasty I had to send them both back made my stomach hurt bad. The place gave me a trashy feel :/ and the fact that the waitress told me I’m the second person to send the ribs back today should tell them they should take it off the menu!! I doubt I’d give this place another shot. Even my son was disappointed and he eats everything lol. The pic of the wings says it all 😒 not worth the money.

Terrible service. Walked in and no host greeted us. Got a servers attention after awhile and they said they’d seat us. That server never came back. Didn’t give us any wait time or anything. We left after being unattended too for half an hour.

Terrible service. We walked in and waited over 10 minutes, and nobody came to greet us or seat us. Eventually an employee acknowledged us but then went off and drank lemonade without preparing a table for us. After waiting another 10 minutes we decided to take out business elsewhere.
4 pm, party of 8, not busy at all. Took them 10 minutes just to acknowledge us, said let me check & disappeared for 8 minutes, just to tell us it'll be another 15 minutes till they find someone to set up table. We left.

Terrible place! Came here when it was absolutely empty and waited 10 minutes for a worker to come up to us, she said she'll check on the table and then disappeared. Waited another 10 minutes for a worker to come up and she also disappeared. I would leave 0 stars if I could.

I ordered the 2 for 2x. Alfredo and Mac pastas were way under portioned. This is not even 2 oz of pasta. They were not busy. Coming from a sous chef this is ridiculous. Whoever is in charge has to be a rook. Let’s take the extra minute to serve quality food.
