“I’d like to say and point out a server/bartender that works here at this Applebee’s in Brentwood. Each and every time I come here this employee consistently gives me and other customers I’ve seen dine here some of the best service and attitude imaginable. I don’t know what his secret is, but I love coming through those doors and seeing that his big built body is on the clock. Every other server/bartender I’ve had has been great, but then here comes Diego taking it to another level.

Especially the positive attitude that I see him giving his coworkers as well. Lord forgive me, but I would love to be working with this man because it’s one thing to be kind and respectful to your customers, but another to be that same way with your coworkers. Especially with the two hostesses that I usually see when I come in on the weekends, the curly-haired boy with the glasses and the nice girl with the curly hair. They’re always so welcoming, and Diego fits right in with them.

Nothing but professional, nothing but friendly that man is. I hope he gets recognized for the way he treats his customers and the people working around him. Shout out to everybody else in this Applebee’s for their immaculate service, INCLUDING DIEGO, because that man deserves his flowers too.“

“The restaurant food and service was very good. However, no one likes to be served a martini in a champagne glass. It’s like drinking out of a bowl of soup. You should serve your martinis in the proper glasses.“

“Amazing food and service ! So glad I finally tried it . Took my family there for New Year’s Eve. It was perfect. Looking forward to going back.“

“Staff, food, service, atmosphere and drinks are all stellar!“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“A must go to you will not be disappointed!!!!“

“Excellent Brunch for Mother’s Day! We never go out to eat on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are usually too overwhelmed. I am so glad we came to Shands General this year.

He made sure our drinks stayed full, checked on us at just the right times, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.
Seth's positive attitude, professionalism, and excellent customer service really stood out and made our dining experience even better. It's rare to find someone who truly enjoys what they do, and it shows. If you're dining here, ask for Seth—you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Seth, for providing exceptional service.

“😋 Chef Charles for the evening was amazing. He made a fabulous 9 course meal for my husband and I. From setting a beatiful table with flowers to gourmet delicious food and leaving a perfectly cleaned up kitchen as if we ate out. However, having all the comforts of home. Not to mention his presentation of each dish was fabulous! Can't wait to have a big dinner party using chef! Thank you Chef Charles!
