From the very beginning Josy was everything rolled into one. She was our hostess bartender server and honestly felt like a friend. I ordered the new Woodford Old Fashioned which had not been on the menu very long. I joked that I did not want to be the guinea pig for a brand new cocktail and was ready to order something more familiar. Josy instantly put me at ease. She knew the ingredients and confidently made the drink and it was absolutely delicious.
Her attention to detail really stood out. When there were no short cocktail straws she searched everywhere for them. I told her a regular straw was fine and by the time I ordered my second drink she had cut regular straws in half. Such a small thoughtful touch but it showed how much she truly cared.
When we ordered food my wife asked for her sandwich without bacon since she does not eat pork. I asked if the sandwich would be cheaper without it and if not whether my wife’s bacon could be added to my sandwich. Josy made it happen effortlessly. Throughout the meal she checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy.
I honestly cannot remember ever being treated this well at an Applebee’s. When we paid and started to leave Josy thanked us for coming in and invited us back saying she hoped to see us again and it felt sincere.
In a time when customer service can feel rushed or impersonal this experience was a breath of fresh air. I cannot speak for every employee at this location but if they are anything like Josy then this team deserves major praise. Josy is a superstar and should absolutely be leading customer service training.
To top it all off the food was delicious and the restaurant was spotless. The Apple Valley Applebee’s truly set the bar and Josy is the reason we will be back.
One of our servers has been CJ, who is top notch. He’s personable, professional, and seems to really care about all of the customers that he comes across.
It’s hard to pass up the 2 for $25, and this price point includes a sufficient # of tasty entrees, some with a slight upcharge, but that’s OK. The food tends to come out quickly, and it’s not unusual to have so much on the plate that some ends up in a take home container which makes the 2 for $25 even that much more economical.
Thanks to the management (Mick) is the best Turly … I will back to this location
side. It was toasted on the bottom instead of the white inside of the bun. It made the heel crunchy and hard.
Fries were good but a small portion compared to other
visits.
Sam was my server and she was super rude and ignored me the whole time. Our food took forever, I had one drink the entirety of my two hour visit while she was refilling my friends drinks, my food was cold the two steaks we ordered were hot though one of them was cooked improperly, our waitress put our food on someone elses table then grabbed it and brought it to us, and she would run off the moment I tried to ask her for anything. I was dining with friends and she was focused entirely on one friend and if he wouldnt have paid she wouldn’t have been tipped its ridiculous. I understand working in the restraunt industry especially because I did and I know you go off of tips but atleast serve the people who are paying a little I have a terrible headache and I’m not recommending this one to friends next time go to Chili’s they will make sure everything is OK and actually serve you is what ive been shown here which is a shame because I live so close to this apple bees. Food was so bad I’m actively throwing up not even a full 30 minutes after leaving save yourself the trouble and the food poisoning and eat somewhere else like Chilis.
My husband really enjoyed the shrimp and steak. The rice was cooked well, yet needed more flavor.
My son and I thought the burgers were delicious. The fries were good. The lettuce was iceberg, which my daughter and I don’t like as much. We prefer a greener option. My other kids liked their yogurt and strawberries, mac and cheese and taco.
We had a great meal and experience overall.
There are several televisions with different sporting events to watch for those interested as well as background pictures of the Vikings and parks in the area etc . .
Our main course was not served until over an hour later, and when it finally arrived, the shrimp was still cold. There was basically no service at all — no one brought the share plates, and asking for water, it was never refilled before we left.
The whole experience was terrible.
