“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“I love Applebees Grill and Bar in Clifton. I stop in there once in a while in the afternoons for appetizers and drinks. I love the artichoke cheese dip with chips. My fave. Large bar, great bartenders, good service and chill atmosphere. Plenty of great seating areas and large screens for watching sports. Go and have great food and a fun lively time. Singles, couples, families, it’s all good. There is an outdoor covered seating area as well. A great place to relax and have good eats. Also it is across from the AMC Movie Theatre so it's great for after movie or before movie eats. Lots of free parking.“

“I've done meal plans for years, I've tried almost every major recognizable meal plan service. Paid nearly $100/week for 4-5 meals everywhere, and quality to price ratio, maybe 7/10. The 5-meal plan from MMG here in Clifton (have ordered for over 6mos), the quality is consistent, the options are fantastic, and the taste is so good, makes you think you're having a cheat meal. Oh and you are paying under $10/meal. Kinda can't be beat. Nowhere is perfect, can't speak to the other negative reviews, but this place has my commit and hard recommendation.“

“The pizza here is pretty good, but the service is average at best. There really isn't much of an atmosphere at all, though. So I'd recommend take out. They do have a 2 plain pie special for $25 including tax which is a good deal, but when I ordered it he wanted to charge me $36 because I didn't mention that I was calling for the special over the phone. He claims you have to say you want the special, which makes me wonder if he makes it different. This makes no sense to me. A plain pie is a plain pie.“

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pancakes from here are awesome.

Parking: Plenty of parking all over this place
