The food is standard Applebee's fare. Â Which is a plus. Â Lots of options except maybe for vegetarians (but I suspect a vegetarian would not go to Applebees or it's ilk) Service varies. I have gotten speedy service on some days and others it has been very slow. Â The thing that makes up for it is that the staff is generally very nice.
Review Source:Me and my sister only go here for the 2 for $20 deal and for the fact that kids get free juice and refills. The drinks are ok and the food is fine. This place is set up nice but still nothing special to brag about. It always seems to be jammed packed but you never have to wait to be seated. The longest I've ever waited was maybe 5 minutes at most. One thing that I must say is that I feel the females workers are always dressed inappropriately some wear head scarfs, tank tops with boobs hanging out and half of the time the girls look like they're going to the club after work. I think the females should wear button down shirts just like the guys. Besides that me and my sister will keep going to get out steak and potatoes with the boneless honey barbecue chicken =)
Review Source:Slow bar service...Burnt fish...Awkwardly constant attempts to force feed me....where do I begin...
All drinks come from the bar and are served by random servers who seem to like plopping drinks down on all tables...appetizers came on time..HUGE nachos portion without which I would have left without any actual food.
This applebee's gets 3 stars only because my hubby's meal was done right and came with good timing, the nachos and the alcohol ratio was perfect. Â I HOWEVER suffered the misfortune of ordering the salmon dish....
It arrived appearing somewhat normal with deep "grill" marks. Â Upon my first bite I find that this salmon must have been swimming in coal because the underside was literally so black it could have been carbon! How can you mess up fish?
I stopped eating right away and had to wait about 10 or so minutes for our waitress to re-appear from wherever waiters go and dont return....So she hurriedly starts taking it away and asks if I want another one. Â Well, I glance at hubby's nearly empty plate and decide it won't be fun to have him stare at me eat for 20-30 minutes...(Hey I'm a slow eater)
I told our waiter I didnt want anything else, she sends the floor manager who apologizes and says another salmon will be out in 15 minutes ( Note to the cook fish doesnt take 15 minutes to cook). I say no thanks I've had my drinks and I dont want to wait another 15-30 minutes for more food/drinks. Â So she sends over the kitchen manager who apologizes and asks me if there is ANYTHING he can do, ANY dish I would want to eat he would do it ANY way I wanted...By this time I'm weirded out and hubby is surprised at this guy's drive to please me and we're both dreading they'll send someone else over.....It was like if I didnt get something else they would get in trouble...GEESH! I kinda felt bad but I was a little too tipsy to care so we left.
I dont know what was worse: the burnt fish or the non-stop cajoling... Â it's nice for them to aim to please but sending 3 people is weird.
I came here this past sunday to have dinner with my hubby. First of all I am used to going to the Applebees in Bay Plaza. Even though that one is always rather crowded especially on weekends the service is rather good. Now lets talk about the service here. The waiter we had was extra friendly but he definitely was not prompt in bringing our drinks or food. I can't blame him because the drinks come from the bar and the food comes from the kitchen so technically the slowness of everything is not his fault. It is very aggaravating though when you have to wait 20 minutes for drinks and 45 minutes for your food. What did they do? Go to the farm themselves and kill the chicken and cow to cook it lol. The only thing that came out fast was the appetizer which we ordered. It was boneless buffalo wings which I might add I fell in love with. The waiter was very nice and kept apologizing for the drinks and food taking so long to come out. He even sent the manager over to talk to us when he seen we were getting extremely aggravated waiting so long for our food when we were starving. After all that was said and done the food finally came out and it was actually really delicious. I had the bourbon chicken and shrimp and my hubby had the sirloin steak which we had no complaints about. With our food the waiter also brought over another order of FREE boneless buffalo wings which i was pretty surprised but happy about. We also got a FREE dessert on the house as well which me and the hubby shared. We came out of there stuffed like fat pigs because of all the food we ate. All the food was rather good despite the wait. Although we had to wait so long, hey at least they made up for it because some other places wouldn't even do that. Overall the service isn't the best but the waiter being so nice and the free food we got made up for it. Oh and also they have TV's all over playing whatever sports game is on which can be rather annoying because I feel if you want to watch the game sit at the bar. Everywhere else should be for people wanting to have a nice dinner with friends or family. Once the game is on with a TV displayed everywhere the whole male species ignore whoever they are with just to look at the game. Also men watching the game should keep their voices to a minimum because the players on TV can not hear you and when other people are trying to have a nice peaceful dinner we don't need to be hearing idiots shouting at the TV. Well I guess besides that if you want to take your chances coming to this applebess in the middle of fordham rd thats on you but I would prefer any other applebess over this one!!!
Review Source:Eat here frequently with the team, friends & even my mom.
Good Service. The Manager Que is great & knows all of us by name & treats us extremely well. Never eaten anything I didn't like. Drinks could
use a bit more alcohol but thats all Applebee's not just this one.
UFC Fight Nights are a popular event here & its standing room only so I suggest you secure a table early.
Good place to hold a private meeting, conference room is available if scheduled in advance, just make sure to confirm the reservation, unfortunately they forgot once though they did prepare the room immediately & we only had to wait about 15 minutes.
Parking is easy to find, street parking is available & there is also a parking garage around the corner.
It tends to get busy so if your impatient this may not be the Applebees for you on a Friday or Saturday night.
You know what? I kind of had fun here. Back before I moved out of the neighborhood, I made Boyfriend take me here because when I was in high my first date was for half price appetizers with two other couples. It was incredibly awkward with bad food, but like most things about high school that were kind of cheesy and awful, you can't help but laugh at them now. So, we went to Applebee's, and pretended to be on Long Island with nowhere to go. I felt mad nostalgic. I felt really happy I didn't have to move home after college. Then we got our food.
I got some sort of ridiculous sandwich with bacon and way too much white bread and iceberg lettuce. It came with soggy fries. Boyfriend got a gargantuan burger, also with bacon. We laughed at how deep and wide the booths were, especially after we spotted a table of really fat people who could only sit two abreast. That's when I remembered that Applebee's is kind of disgusting and opening one in this neighborhood is not going to help solve the obesity crisis among the lower class. That was a downer.
Still, I like that they've decked the place out in Yankee's and Fordham sports memorabilia, as well as photos of other Bronx attractions. They apparently had so many job applicants here that getting hired was more difficult than getting into Harvard, so the service was good. It was clean and bright, and guess what? After 10, they have half price appetizers and beer. It may not be all that great, but sometimes, it's fun, right? Is it hipster of me to ironically like Applebee's?
