Applebee's Grill + Bar

We actually ordered delivery last minute, and we were surprised by the level of care that went into the food. I’ve been casually grabbing food to go from Applebees for a long time (esp in my 20s) and this was by far the best tasting meal I’ve ever had from Applebees. You can tell the kitchen is putting effort into presentation and prep - the food was done perfectly, and all the sides and utensils etc. were in the bag. Really nice to see that extra customer care.

Ordered the salmon without being blackened but they didn't even put any salt and pepper. Very bland and a bit fishy tasting. No broccoli available even though it's on the menu and I was told they haven't had broccoli to offer for months. I had the string beans and they were very mushy.

Excellent Service at the Middletown,DE location. Friendly staff. They care about our Military. My husband and I are both Veterans. On Veteran's Day 2025, they provided a free meal to all Military plus a discount coupon for another meal until May. They even had on T-shirts that day in our honor. Just want them to know we appreciated it.

Absolutely flavorless.. and portion was small.

Everything was good, except for one thing. We sat at a table with the hostess desk behind us on Saturday night. The host, a young man, sat on his phone the entire time and was perched up on the part of the lower wall, right behind us. He was so close to us, I felt like he could eavesdrop (he wasnt, of course, he was too busy on his phone). I dont care about him being on the phone, bc he greeted everyone promptly and helped bus tables. It was how close he was to us. I suggest standing in the middle of the host desk when customers are seated at the table, not slouched on the side, so close to our table!

Thank you,

We had a small problem when picking up an order. Normally everything is great at your restaurant. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was given to Abby. Her customer service skills are exceptional. She was able to satisfy my concerns immediately and did so in a very pleasant manner. So I just wanted to let you know and the public know that your restaurant is great, but Abby is the best.

Had dinner with my grand daughter and daughter. Our waiter was Vincent. I totally didn’t like the service nor the food. I’m not the type to ask for a discount or take the food off the bill, I just eat my food and then either decide if I will go back or not. First off Vincent was nice, however seemed like he had other tables that were more important or spent his time in the kitchen. He would stop past the table drop whatever off and speed away. My food was dry which wasn’t the biggest deal. The problem was not feeling like we were valued. Long story short the bill was $71 and some change. I paid cash I gave him $82 (50, 20, 10, 2-1’s) he came back by the table gave me 50 cent said thank you faster than buster rhymes rapping on “look at me now” and speed away. My daughter said that the service was horrible and that I should say something to the manager. I declined and just said I won’t be back. Needless to say I had a lot more things that made me unhappy with the service I just wanted to touch on these things that bothered me the most. They were out of broccoli so I opted for just double mashed. (Luke warm, the cheese wasn’t even melted)The salmon was over cooked and I had to ask for melted butter to bring some life to it… just a horrible experience for $82

We usually always have a good experience when we come here, but today was not that. Our server forgot our waters, and our food came out wrong. We asked for plates for our appetizer, and he forgot those too. The kicker for me that’s making me write this review is that we ordered dessert, and the cream cheese sauce still came out with the prep label on it from last week that said to use by today. I have never seen someone be so lazy in my life - literally just remove the lid. I’m baffled.

Ate in, waiter was very nice. Food was fantastic.

We were blown away by our dinner at this Applebee's location! (around 7 pm 8/16) When we arrived, the hosts were diligent to make sure we got the best seat for our family of 5 including an infant with a car seat, worried that everyone would have space and be comfortable. Our waitress Danielle was absolutely wonderful, she was kind and thorough. I think maybe we were met by management, who checked on our table and made sure all was well. And it was! Our food was hot, delicious, well-prepared. I wish I'd been smart enough to take a picture of our plates that were absolutely picture perfect but our experience was so, so fantastic! Thank you all! It can be challenging eating out with small kids, it feels so good to have had this experience.
