The service in this location was pretty bad. On a sunday it took the waitress about 35 min to just acknowledge that we sat down and didn’t even check up once during the whole time we were there. Didn’t even ask us once if we wanted refills or to see how the food was. She didn’t bring us our food as someone else did that or our drinks. Food was good though.
Honestly I understand if a waitress or waiter is busy as I have worked in resturants myself… the proper way to address the new people when they sit down is to say somethiing as “I am a bit busy, but I’ll be with you in a bit.” And you check up on them during their meal to make sure they have water or want to order anything else. You do not ignore them and expect them to leave you a tip.

Have been here a couple of times the food is amazing. Went the other day and had the lunch prime rib dipper would definitely recommend. Employees are very nice and helpful. Don’t forget some onion rings .

Good place to go for a causal dining experience. The service was great. The waiter was very professional and did everything right. The menu has items to please everyone in your family. The drinks are very good, and the prices are good.

I can’t even remember the last time I dined in at an Apple Bee’s. Came here because it’s been on my mom’s bucket list and we were shopping at H Mart afterwards.
I would say this chain is still great for sports, drinks, bar food, family and friends gathering. Their food is not the best quality but still decent and have a great time with drinks.
The sampler is always the best choice to have a little bit of everything. My favorite has always been the spinach artichoke dip with their thin crispy chips. The quesadilla was good, boneless wings not so much. It was like starchy and really sweet. Can’t go wrong with crispy mozzarella sticks.
We also got fish and chips and shrimp fettuccine. Both are not the best and I’ve had better. The fish batter was burnt and the fish was too thick with no flavor. You could tell by the color that the oil was not fresh. My pasta tasted like store bought suave but the shrimp was blackened to perfection and great salt and pepper flavor. The bread stick was seemed old because it was chewy.
Overall, I think their appetizers and drinks are the way to go.
Expect to have a long wait. We had two parties ahead of us and waited 20 minutes. They had lots of empty tables but only had two servers running around and one hostess.

Came here for the first time on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and it was great experience, not too busy. It’s located next to a gym so parking can be congested. Our waitress was amazing, she did everything almost perfectly from getting our food to us pretty fast to checking-in if we needed anything every now and then. The food was just as good if not perfect as well. The restroom is one of the cleanest of all the Applebees I’ve been to as well!
Only complaint I have is that this is the first Applebees I’ve ever been to that doesn’t give a Military discount if you get any of their menu “specials.” And I’ve been to a lot as it is one of our favorite chains, so it was pretty odd. Almost perfect, Overall 4 ⭐️

Joined our friends here. The place was not busy at all. Took 15 minutes to get a coke. Took an hour to get our food. Chicken was raw in the middle. I cannot recommend coming here.
The manager did her best to make it up to us, but just wanted to leave. Still took a long time just to close out.

My second visit to Apple Bees and satisfied again.
We sat at the bar and was served by the greatest bartender on earth! He was also there on my first visit months ago, so I’m not telling lies here. Lol
I ordered the Grilled cheese Cheeseburger with tatter tots and tomato soup. Man!! The grilled cheese Cheeseburger was delish. It was juicy. The meat was cooked perfectly. The tomato soup was delicious as well. It felt like a warm hug. I have not had tater tots in a very long time and they did not disappoint.
My friend ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. He enjoyed it.
The atmosphere was great. Good vibes all around!!
I do recommend going and sit at the bar. You can’t go wrong. It was also good to know that there are regulars that come through and the bartender knows their names. Lol
