Horrible horrible ribs! They were so damn tough, I could not tear them apart with ease and not even a knife could cut into them to tear them apart. I felt like I was chewing rubber and the fries that came with them were hard and burnt. That entire plate should not even left the kitchen! If the cooks in that kitchen don't give a damn about the food they are sending out of the kitchen, then I do not give a damn to spend my money at this location. Do better!

Food was warm not hot
Chicken looked like over frozen
It looked like it was microwave
Alfredo shouldn't have a ton of garlic
Coffee was washed out
Waitress was hardly around she was in the back a lot
I saw another waitress at the hostess stand a lot so that shows the manager isn't managing
Even one waitress hung around with a friend of hers the whole time we were there
The burger my mother had made he sick later after we left

After working in the restaurant business for 32 years the food quality control is not being looked at and the waiters don't upsell and check on customers. I mean did I have to look for our waitress that was on the other side of the room for water for my mother. We should have water a couple minutes after being sat. There is a lot that can be done at this Applebee's to bring up sales and tips.

This place is rubbish. The waiters were talking nonsense and our drinks never even arrived after waiting so long.

I wanted to share some feedback about our recent visit. We came to celebrate my birthday, and everything was delicious — we really enjoyed the food. Toward the end of our meal, my husband ordered two Triple Chocolate Meltdowns and mentioned to the server that we were celebrating a birthday.

Around that time, we heard the staff sing “Happy Birthday” for another table, so we assumed the same would happen when our dessert arrived. Before serving the dessert, the table was cleared, and the desserts were brought out — but without the birthday acknowledgment. It was a bit disappointing, especially since my husband had mentioned the occasion in advance.

This isn’t a major issue, but I wanted to let you know. Thank you for the nice meal, and we hope to have a better experience next time.

Would've loved to review the food but didnt get that far tonight. Fifteen mins in Five waiters and nobody knows who is assigned to my table.. after the relentless confusion, we did them the favor and left. What a shame, but whoever worked Friday night should check on their staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I read a lot of bad reviews about this Applebee’s location, but I must say our experience was excellent! Despite being a large group, everything was amazing. Our waitress, Freddy, did an outstanding job — he double-checked our order, constantly made sure we had what we needed, and provided great service with a positive attitude the entire time. The manager was also very helpful and attentive.

I noticed all the staff working hard and providing great service, which made the atmosphere even better. Kudos to the manager and especially to Freddy for making our visit so enjoyable. I hope everyone who comes here has the same great experience. Thank you for the excellent service!

Went back after 15 years, still good!

Haven’t been to this Applebee’s since like 2009 when I used to come here constantly. Figured I’d check it out again and see how much changed.
Crazy thing is the bartender from back then still works there! We talked for a bit about the old days which was cool. Place looks pretty much the same.
Food was solid. Got mozzarella sticks, spinach artichoke dip and boneless wings. Everything tasted good, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Wings were crispy and the dip was cheesy. Can’t complain about the portions either.
If you want to save money go after 10pm, apps are half off. I always do this and you can eat cheap. Service was fine, didn’t wait long for anything.
Good to know some places don’t change much. Will probably come back when I’m in the area.
