Applebee's Grill + Bar

5-stars because we love the staff (Jazmyn, Ebony, & Del). They always make sure we have our corner booth, where my special needs son can get his wiggles out when he feels the need too. He loves those ladies.

The bartender Lewis is SOOOO great! The chicken parm was meh. My daughter ate every noodle of her chicken broccoli Alfredo dish.

Let’s start with the fact that some of the servers were cussing loud enough for customers to hear. That is very unprofessional and not what you’d expect in a family‑friendly restaurant.

I understand how challenging customer service can be, but employees need to keep their cool and remain calm in front of guests.

We were seated toward the back, and there were a few guys serving that section. One specifically (his name started with “S,” but I don’t fully remember) kept fussing out loud enough about a customer every time he went over to the computer station. Another server in a black & white striped shirt cursed several times very loudly. It honestly felt like I was standing out on the street, not sitting in a restaurant.

The food itself was okay, but the atmosphere created by some of the staff was not pleasant at all.

Applebee’s, please do better. More training and professionalism would make such a big difference.

I don’t usually write reviews, but my recent visit to Applebee’s on woodmere five towns shopping center truly deserves one. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. What made the experience unforgettable was our server, Emerald.

Emerald was an absolute gem—friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. She anticipated our needs, had great menu suggestions, and made us feel like VIPs the entire time. It’s rare to come across someone who truly enjoys what they do, and it shows in every interaction.

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, but it was Emerald’s service that turned a regular meal into a truly enjoyable night out. If you’re dining at Applebee’s, I highly recommend asking for her—you won’t be disappointed!

Thanks again, Emerald, for making our evening so special. Applebee’s is lucky to have you!

This place is very good and very clean.
The staff are amazing, the food is great and the prices are even better.
I really recommend eating here because it's a child friendly environment and a good place to eat with you family for a fairly cheap price. 👍

If I could give a 0 I would. Waited 20 minutes for waitress to order, another 20 minutes for food only for it to come cold. Well! You get what you pay for.
I would never come here again!

Cheeseburger with $10 but it was so nasty
Then we placed a steak. The steak was a size of the cheeseburger and it was moist like it was frozen.

I’ll say that the bartender was great; she’s always on top of her A game. She knows what she’s doing and is helpful and a good problem solver when needed
I ordered the beer cheese pretzels with her and the kitchen didn’t tell bartender or I that they ran out of beer cheese, so I had my pretzels w something else; cold white cheese called queso something
I didn’t order that cheese and was not satisfied w the lack of communication
I wouldn’t have ordered this if it wasn’t going to be a complete set .. please tell your kitchen staff they need to be aware of what food items are missing, that they need to communicate with the floor staff and waiters about what’s missing and such. The bar area was good overall but I go for the food and was not satisfied
