The bartender Michael was brilliant. On top of orders, fulfilled all my requests and then some. 10/10 customer service and an amazing hire. I will be returning to Applebee's because of his stellar service throughout the entire night. Shout out.

Fresh, great tasting food, friendly staff, reasonable prices and the standard Applebee's layout. The Asian Sweet Chili sauce is a must try! Had a great time with family. Recommend!

The service during our visit was unacceptable. From the moment we arrived, the server was dismissive and rude. He pointed to a table instead of seating us properly and did not return for over 15 minutes after we sat down.
When he finally came, he leaned on a wall, avoided eye contact, and took our order in a way that felt disrespectful. We noticed that he interacted much more appropriately with other guests, which made the situation feel especially uncomfortable.
Our dessert order was completely forgotten, and we were given the check without being asked. We paid and left without any acknowledgment from the server.
This experience left both me and my wife feeling unwelcome. We hope this is addressed, because no guest should be treated this way.

Some of our food was served cold. We were not offered refills till we got our check. Women's Bathroom was not clean.

Disappointing experience. The waiter kept coming to our table every minute asking if we were ready to order, which was annoying. We only wanted water, but unlike most places, they never bothered to refill it. We also asked for napkins (none were on the table) and never received them—we had to go to the front desk ourselves near the end of the meal.
The “2 for $25” deal is very limited and feels misleading, with only a couple of basic options unless you pay extra.
And finally, I know Applebee’s is not a fine-dining restaurant, but I at least expected the check to be placed in a check presenter. Instead, they handed it to us like a loose piece of paper. Honestly, I felt like paying them in loose bills and coins just to match the level of presentation.
I still left over 18% tip just to be nice, but the service didn’t earn it.
Giving 2 stars only because the portions were okay.

I usually don’t like to comment but I can Sunday 11/16 I have to say this was some of the worst service I ever had. It took us like 10 mins to get a server then my son’s food came out before any of us got drinks. My food was okay because I proceeded with caution and just got some appetizers. Husband got the double crunch shrimp did not like it. No one checked on us while we ate and then it took like another 20 mins to get the bill. The manager seemed nice but I wish he would address the issues with the restaurant.
