“Amazing food and service! Happy comfortable atmosphere.“

“Kylie made my day! She was very polite, attentive and personable. She's a great asset to the Applebee's team! I hope next time I come back she's here. Oh, and food was amazing as well Shout out to the chef, I had a great experience today, thank you!“

“We really enjoy the Top Golf experience. It’s fun, all season, etc. Our experience this time was a little underwhelming as I received a glass with someone’s lip marks still on it. The server apologized but seemed annoyed and brought me a new one. (No biggie, stuff happens) Then we were there during a shift change, waited almost an hour for appetizers. (Dips and pretzels) Last, my daughter’s glass also revealed (after she drank) leftovers from a previous guest. I really like experience, but attention to detail is certainly lacking.“

“Whistle was so friendly and accommodating! They were a great place for our little kids to run around while we waited for our food. They evenbrought us free over cream for the kids while we waited! Their self service beer was super cool and refreshing. The food was delicious!“

“We had a great time, good service and good food! Our kids didn't like the chicken nuggets bc they were sweet but their kids and goofy 😹 the cocktails were great! Fun atmosphere. Also family friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see a diaper change area that had wipes and diapers. There were also menstrual products. It was such a thoughtful touch!“

“Just putting out a positive post for Beer & Belly Sports Grille. Yesterday after a long day at Halloween events for our kids and sitting in the McDonald’s line for 20+ minutes before pulling away we decided to just grab some dinner as a family which the food as always was wonderful. From the second we stepped in the staff was amazingly accommodating. Offering coloring books for our kids, cute ghost stickers and free pumpkins in the pumpkin patch after our meal. Thankful for a restaurant and staff like this so close to home because we literally only take our kiddos to one other restaurant so we don’t disturb anyone’s meals (our kids are loud LOL) 🎃👻🩷“

“I had my retirement party at the 3 Spot last Saturday, and they could not have been more accommodating! We've known for a long time that the staff is exceptional and friendly, but we're super impressed now with everyone there! I don't want to leave anyone out, but we remember Dave, Karen, P.J., Ryan, Thomas, Corbin, and our server for the evening, Lisa. She was wonderful-keeping an eye on the group in case someone needed anything. She is fast, friendly, and efficient! The side room was clean, cozy and nicely decorated with a Christmas tree in the corner. And last, but not least, the food is AWESOME! I was glad to have leftovers so we could share, and also enjoy the day after. We had the pizza, BBQ meatballs, Buffalo Chicken dip, pretzel bites, and a really nice looking veggie tray. I would recommend anything on their menu. Thank you all at 3 Spot, you helped to make my party a wonderful memory! Blessings, Lois and Rick Biagiola“

“On July 11, 2026 I ate honey mustard bone-in wings and fries. I was in town riding with Cleveland Bike Life. There was approximately 30 of us who came in at one time. The bar staff were nice, attentive, and very professional. They told us it would be a wait but I got my food in record time.

The wings and fries were hot and GREAT!!!!! I really enjoyed the food and they way the bar staff kept checking in to see if I was good.

I would absolutely come here again.“

“Met friends at the Clevelander prior to the Cleveland Guardians game and had a great time! Food was really good and the service was fast an friendly. Definitely recommend!!“

“I went twice here for dinner one on a Friday and one time for dinner the next day! while visiting Cleveland from Kent first time I went I got burger and tots second time was salmon dinner and for both times I got the server Jordan she did an amazing job and since I work at a restaurant myself it was neat talking and exchanging experiences of what’s it’s like working in the restaurants and I think when you meet other restaurant workers you can relate to one another. The food was great server did an outstanding job. The second time when the hostess’s was going to seat me I saw Jordan as they were going to seat me and requested her and she was like ya I can take you cause I rather have a server who I know does a good job at there job and who has a good personality and that’s what makes a restaurant and a great server I definitely recommend this restaurant!“

Saralyn went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel valued as guests. It’s rare to come across someone who puts so much care into their job, and she truly made our visit memorable. If you’re stopping by Applebee’s, I highly recommend asking for Saralyn—you won’t be disappointed!“
