Applebee's in Vancouver

“Stopped by our neighborhood Applebee’s the other night because we couldn’t think of anywhere else to go. We seated ourselves immediately upon arrival in the bar, which was great because we showed up during happy hour. There was a bit of a delay before anyone came over to greet us or take our food/drink order. After being seated for a bit, one of the female bartenders came by and brought us waters and then another server took over because their shift started. Once service picked up, the experience was much better. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, and the happy hour specials were an especially great value for both food and drinks. However, 1 of the 3 appetizers we ordered was barely warm when we received it, as if it was done and had been sitting there awhile before it was brought out to our table. Elliot was an excellent server—very friendly, patient, and professional. He made sure to check in on us throughout the meal without being intrusive and was happy to answer questions and make suggestions. His attentive service definitely stood out and made the visit more enjoyable. Overall, a solid experience with good food, great happy hour deals, and standout service once things got rolling. With slightly quicker initial service and fresher/hotter appetizers, this would easily be a five-star spot.“

“Joseph WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. let me tell you, as soon as we walked in I could tell it was gonna be an awesome night! We get us ready to go with our server and had us set for the night! He came back not once. not twice. but like 10 times, by the end of the night, i basically felt like me and him were best friends! I was sad when I had to leave because I was unable to personally tell him goodbye. However I hope this review makes up for that! If Joseph doesn't get MVP or a raise, im gonna cry out to the gods! Because damn does he deserve it!“

“By far the best Applebees location I have ever been to. We are regulars here and have never had a bad experience. Primarily the service is what sets it apart. Some Applebees have painfully slow service, never here. All of the waiters/waitresses are great. Food also very consistent and quick. Best Applebees location in the area by far.“
