“Great energy, professional service and exciting atmosphere. the place slaps fr🔥👌 10/10“

“Completely ignored by bartenders who were too busy taking selfies when their bar wasn't even full. If you want service don't come here, if you want to wait 20 minutes for a drink this is the place for you. Went Bull Feeney's instead and was welcomed and waited on immediately.“

“One of my favorites venues . I’ve been coming here since it reopened as Aura and even before when it was Asylum .
Always a great time , clean venue , friendly staff , welcoming atmosphere , state of the art light show and sound system . Reasonably priced drinks and a sports bar with great food . I look forward to seeing many more shows here .“

“Applebees in Windham Maine has it all! The food always comes out perfect. The wait staff are all wonderful. Chelsey especially is awesome. Stephen the manager is very friendly. You will see him checking on customers. I eat there almost once a week. I like it because I can count on good food, good service at a good price.“

“Rivalries has always been one of my favorite spots, especially in the summertime. Whether I’m hanging out on the deck, stopping by for lunch, or watching a Boston sports game with friends, it’s always a great time. The food may be classic pub style, but it’s pub style on steroids—I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Lance, the owner, is often around and genuinely takes time to check in on guests, which is a great touch. But the real star of the staff is Jen, the head manager. She’s absolutely phenomenal to work with, especially when it comes to planning a function. Whether it’s a small family gathering or a larger group event, Jen’s professionalism, experience, and friendly approach make the whole process easy—and even fun.

They truly do a great job all around, and I always look forward to coming back.“

“A great place to grab your favorite beverage and some really good food! The game is always on, and the beer is super cold!“

“We did take out the steak&cheese sandwich was excellent and I loved the fries“

“Great experience at South Portland location!

Shyanne, our server, was super. Our meals were served promptly, everything was hot, and my Bourbon Street steak was prepared perfectly. The manager (Ryan?) was attentive as we explained how this location was so much better than our experience at another Applebee's in the metro area. Great start to a weekend getaway!“

“Never been disappointed going there. The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the bar games are awesome. Go there every now and again to play pool and darts with the guys. One time the building lost heat (not their fault at all) and had to close early. The staff let us finish up our game while they closed up shop.“
