Applebee's Grill + Bar

Ask for no mushroom the food that don't come with mushroom hat mushrooms in it. My boyfriend had allergic reaction.keep trying to get somebody on the phone, but Christina say she don't want to deal with me right now. The picture is the chicken and sausage pasta. It's new..

Ok, good food, but the table was dirty, and I had hair on my hoodie when I left that want on my hoodie before I placed it in the booth... To go cups are little kid cups, 😂 but John was awesome, definitely sooner of the most polite staff. If you exclude the last behind the counter who don't like long at people or smiling...

Its applebee's comfort food. It's gonna be as good as you expect. The wait times have improved, the service has improved. But in all reality it's just a little bit better than mcdonald's.

Is this an Applebee's that is a part of the DINE BRAND??? I came into this establishment just to grab some appetizers and maybe a drink and wind down, but my guest and I experienced what I consider the worst upholding of the BASIC standards, that I am sure was trained but never met. ABSOLUTELY RACIALLY DRIVEN

This is certainly NOT the standards of Applebee's at least when I used to work here (not this location, but I was a Montclair Applebee's server for years) and so I show love to the brand by patronizing still. But on 2/20/25 it was the most uncomfortable, RACIAL driven experience ever!

upon walking in, all of the hosts/servers/bartenders (that I seen on staff) were not at all Busy, there were table sat and eating but as I stood at the door it, there was a 4 minute wait to even be greeted, after it seemed like the teeth of the host was pulled to come seat us, we were then placed in the bar area in a booth...
This is where it gets interesting.... I KNOW for a FACT the standard greeting time for ANY table no matter what is 30 seconds to TWO MINUTES MAX!! my guest and I sat...waited, looked servers in the eyes who decided to continuously walk past our table...

Forgive me if this is insulting as I describe who these servers were, One Heavy set guy, long black hair, with arm tattoos...walked by our table multiple times and there was no greeting, another guy taper hair cut, glasses and wheres the fake gold and has the goofy smile, also made eye contact and proceeded to ignore that there was a new table in his section.

Ultimately seating for 10+ minutes and NO GREETING, the bartender, absolutely seen us but yet made no effort to even see if we needed anything. As we made quick eye contact as well.

It only boils down to one thing, this place has a HUGE issue with serving guests of African American culture. This was absolutely racially driven no way around it. Any other excuse is just pure Laziness (and Yes I dont care if they are all hispanic, there is a such things as Racist Mexicans)

At the end of the day, it had to feel awkward to seat us, and after around 15 minutes of not being greeted, my guest and I walked out...and you know what the HOST had the nerve to say upon exit (yes the same host who sat us) "You guys have a good night"

This place is a disgrace to the entire restaurant industry, the BASIC steps of service were not followed and this is a reflection of Management, this is a reflection of NOT CARING AT ALL....just a group of people holding on to a job, "getting by"

Not knowing you had a Chef sitting in your establishment who understands it isnt easy and always tips 50%-100% just off the pure heart of knowing what it is like to be a server!! but how would you know? unless of course you greet people!! The restaurant was dirty, I believe these servers thought it was cute to do this as they were fully aware of this and no one decided to approach us, not even for water..but then again the servers here seem like they would spit in your water.

NEVER AGAIN will this place be patronized! this is NOT a "neighborhood" bar & grille this is a quick hang out. Honestly needs to be revamped with people who care. This is an humiliation to the DINE IN BRAND, and you should check your management of upheld standards!! I can only imagine how the Kitchen looks, I can only imagine the amount of stealing goes on here, just look at the standards and it will tell you everything about this restaurant.

I am not going to end this review with a "I hope this place gets better" BS!!! I hope this place completely closes, and I have never wished this on any establishment...But the company is a reflection of the people it hires!! and from The BUMMY looking Host up to the Oddly shaped Bartended with the goofy glasses..this place is disgraceful.

JUST GIVE IT UP!!!! e on February

I ordered the bacon cheese burger, all you can eat fries and a drink for $10. They served ne the worst hamburger that I have ever eaten, no condiments on the hamburger at all such as mayonnaise, thousand islands dressing etc just a dry burger. I see why this restaurant chain is on the verge of going out of business!!!!

I've never really had super great service here but today really bothered me. I had to leave shortly after my food arrived and handed my server cash for the bill and asked for 3 boxes. He came back without the coins in my change just bills and 3 of the smallest boxes. Mind you I had 3 almost full plates of food. When I asked for another container he never brought it and kept ignoring me after. I had 3 of my kids with me and I was struggling a little trying to get out since he also didn't bring me a bag for my boxes. I just felt very dismissed at the end as if I paid so he didn't have to deal with me anymore.

Started off with a missing greeter followed by cold appetizer, and really you ran out of hot tea or you just didn't want to get it. Terrible experience won't be back.
