Applebee's in Lakeland

“Loved my chicken wontons. They were hella good. So light, fresh and with a crunch. Wow. I was so happy with my choice. My daughter wasn’t to happy about her chicken Parmesan pasta with broccoli. She said broccoli was too hard and pasta had no flavor. Not even adding salt would fix it. But I loved my food. That and the spinach and artichoke dip. So delicious“

“I’ll be the first to admit my history with this Applebee’s has been a rollercoaster—I’ve had bad experiences, good ones, and I even had a 1-star review sitting in my drafts before. But I deleted that, and I’m leaving this 4-star review instead because my last two orders have genuinely stepped up their game.

Management is clearly dialed in. She made sure I got extra sauces, dressings, and sides on everything without me even having to ask twice. That kind of attention to detail goes a long way, especially when you’re already getting an awesome deal—two full entrees plus an appetizer for only $25 is hard to beat. She didn't have to go that far, but she did, and I truly see and appreciate the effort.

I’m not quite at a 5-star yet (still gun-shy from past misses), but this is a massive turnaround. Thank you to the management team for restoring my faith a little—keep this energy up and you’ll earn that fifth star next time! 😜“
