We had dinner here and really enjoyed it overall. The food was delicious! The Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine had great flavor and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger was juicy, cheesy, and just the right comfort food. And that Triple Chocolate Meltdown was pure happiness on a plate.
The only thing was that the service started a bit slow, and when our food finally came out, we didn’t get any silverware at first. For a second, I actually wondered if we should just start eating with our hands. Luckily, once we got everything sorted, the meal totally made up for it.
The prices were fair for the portions, everything tasted fresh, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We’ll definitely come back again—just maybe make sure the forks arrive with the food next time!

The food was great. The drinks, you can’t go wrong on any choice. The service was excellent. The manager, Missi, visited our table to make sure we were alright.

Food mid but i guess that’s what i expected coming here. Best part were the drinks and breadsticks. Our server was extremely nice but another survey who helped with a spill was rude

Disappointing service, but thankful for the accommodation.
We were visiting Boston as tourists and brought friends and family who had never been to Applebee’s before. It’s a place my husband and I usually enjoy for the food, drinks, and service.
First, I do want to acknowledge and thank the staff for accommodating a large party of 14 people, including 2 babies and 3 children. We appreciate the effort to seat everyone together, which is not always easy.
Unfortunately, the service itself was very poor. The wait to take our order was long, and everyone at the table was extremely hungry. My babies could not handle the delay, and I had to feed them baby food while waiting.
When ordering, I asked to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. My husband also ordered an extra side of fries with his meal. My fries did not arrive at all. After I complained, the server brought me a portion, but my husband’s extra fries were still missing. We waited again, and only after asking a second time did the server realize the order had been entered incorrectly.
The drink service was also unacceptable. The beers took so long to arrive that the men at the table had already finished their meals by the time the drinks were served.
Overall, this visit fell far below the level of service we expect from Applebee’s.
While we will continue to visit and recommend Applebee’s because we know this is not the usual experience, one issue that truly bothered me must be addressed: The tablets at the table allow children to purchase games without any parental authorization. These charges are added directly to the bill. A 3-year-old has no understanding of this, and although I chose not to complain at the moment to avoid unnecessary stress over $2.50, this practice is not acceptable.
Children should never be allowed to make purchases without explicit parental approval. This should require a clear authorization step from a parent.

The service was amazing. Our server named Angel was exceptional and very personable. She made the experience very comfortable and warm. The manager Missy was also a delight. She was helpful informative and relatable. They both took care of me and my Godmother with care and I appreciate it. The only thing I could say could be better is the fettuccine was a bit undercooked. Besides that everything was great.

I typically do not post reviews, but our waitress “Zee” was exceptional and good things must be said when we’ll deserved. Keep up the work! We enjoyed being assisted by you!

It’s truly not the hard to read and order and actually take your time preparing it ! It’s like this isn’t a restaurant it’s your backyard corner store you get what you get like read the order further you have eyes ? Sad throw the whole restaurant chain away expeditiously

I mean, it was Applebees. Nothing stood out as amazing nor was anything lacking. We had a normal, positive experience.

I ordered the sirloin steak here and it was honestly one of the worst steaks I’ve ever been served. The outside looked barely seared, and when I cut into it, it was raw and chewy in the middle—not even close to how I asked it to be cooked. I asked for a medium rare this was NOT a medium rare. The texture was tough, there was no flavor to it, and it came out looking gray on the outside but undercooked and cold inside. For a place that calls itself a grill and bar, this was a huge disappointment. I wouldn’t recommend ordering steak here at all… you’re better off making one at home
