Applebee's Grill + Bar

The food is good, but they aren't great about sewing what you need before walking away. Got a steak, had to wave them down for sauce. Drank all my iced tea before my food arrived, tried to ask for refil wasn't heard. Never got it. But the food is good so...

The $9.99 burger combo is a great value and very good, both when eating at the restaurant or with take-out.

Great customer service by Rogelio. Insane Happy Hour deals on their appetisers . It is truly a neighbourhood place to catch a drink & some appetisers , even hearty filling food. The vibes & prices feel very 90’s . A place you can just hang.

Food was okay. A bit too salty on everything. But the service (Aaron) and host (didnt get her name) were phenomenal. They made sure my toddler son was taken care of and when he accidentally pressed a video game on the small iPad (where you pay thr bill) on the table...they made sure to take off the $3 charge.

We ate here tonight on a drive home from Palm Springs. We've eaten here a few times, so it's familiar and we know what to expect.

So, what happened tonight to drop it to a bad rating?

I'll start with the easy stuff. Please note that I'm reviewing this restaurant as an Applebee's or Chili's level place. The atmosphere is good. Definitely above average for this type of restaurant - maybe even 4 1/2 stars.

Next is service. A little worse than normal. The waiter forgot about us one too many times. I didn't like that. Also, our food was brought out at different times - one meal well before the other. That's not good! So, average for this type of restaurant.

Last is food. I wanted to have some pasta - particularly their new blackened chicken penne, but I can't have cream sauce and they don't have a tomato sauce they could use instead. So I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger and she had the four chicken tacos - she loves these. Her tacos were spicy - too spicy for her. My burger was good, better than I expected. So that looks like a three star - maybe even four. She had some sort of shaken drink, which she liked and I had a Coke - I'm driving. We also ordered a dessert, some sort of white sauce and caramel nut over ice cream and a brownie or bread. We enjoyed the dessert. All was okay.

On the way home, I started feeling bloated. When we got home, I rushed to the bathroom. About a half hour later, she started feeling the same way. I don't think it's anything terrible like salmonella or e-coli, but we did get sick from it. If I could give the food a 0, I would. I believe it happened during the preparation or storage.

Will we go back again. I don't think so. I don't like it when I get sick after a meal - and both of us got sick, so it was definitely the food.

Parking: In a large mall, so plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Good place for kid, but there are a lot of adults without kids, so parents should make sure their kids behave. The people behind us had restless kids and the parents did nothing to stop them. I know this is Applebees, but the parents need to be respectful of others.

The place is nice, but they neglect many things, they served us at a table where there was a lack of space and several times they saw the plates and things and did not clean them, that is very rude,
The food is mostly cold and of poor quality, they put photos of a good cut and a piece of something arrives that looks nothing like it, several things are very poorly presented and tasteless,
And hygiene suddenly leaves in doubt…
The truth is that total disappointment, by the way I am a tourist

This was my second visit to this Applebee’s, thanks to “The Really Big Meal Deal.”

When I arrived, no host greeted me, but once she arrived, she was kind enough to add my name to the bar waitlist, as it was full. Shortly after, a server offered me a table, but a seat opened at the bar just in time, and I opted for that instead, freeing up the table for a larger party.

The restaurant was busy due to the championship game, which understandably slowed things down. The Burger was great, the patty was moist, the fries were well made but too seasoned. My server, Patrick, started off well but quickly fell short in many areas.

Here’s what he did right:
• He took my order and dropped my food and drinks off.

Heres what he did wrong:
• He ignored the trash that had accumulated at my spot, though he cleaned up for others.
• He didn’t offer to refill my drinks, and the soda he initially served was room temperature with only a sliver of ice. By comparison, the man seated next to me was served a properly chilled drink with plenty of ice.
• Patrick didn’t provide or offer condiments, though he asked the man next to me if he needed any.
• Most shockingly, I witnessed Patrick stick his finger inside a beer glass before serving it to a woman. When I suggested he replace it, he refused, saying, “No, I won’t.” It wasn’t until I informed the woman what had happened that he begrudgingly replaced it.
• He tried to take my check prematurely, but didn’t process it. Another bartender ended up running my bill after Patrick left the bar for the second of three times.

Patrick’s behavior gave the impression that he was unhappy in his role, and his lack of professionalism stood out. The bar could also benefit from more diversity in staff, which might improve both the atmosphere and service.

While the meal deal remains a great value, the service at this location left much to be desired, largely because of Patrick.

They were a little busy so we didn't get a lot of attention. We don't really need a lot but a little bit more than what we got would have been sufficient. Food was good.

Took my daughter out to eat for her birthday told them at check in that we wanted them to come out and sing happy birthday to her and instead then just brought us the brown no singing. She was disappointed and got more bummed when they went to another table with someone older and sang to them. I don't think I'm ever gonna do this place again. Very disappointing service
