I wish I could give this place a zero. There needs to be an inspection done on this place. My mom and I chose this place for lunch and in the middle of our meal a ROACH.... yes you read right R-O-A-C-H ran across our TABLE... yes T-A-B-L-E.
the most disgusting meal ever. Â The manager comped the meal and killed the roach... at the table.
Food wasn't bad, but I had to write this review based on our waiter. The guy left the check on our table at the end of our meal.. When I had cash to pay, we handed it to him and asked us if we needed change. After we said no he just took it and walked away! No, thank you or nothing! Rudest waiter I've ever met.
Review Source:Very strange experience. Â It had literally been 6 years since trying my last Applebee's and now I remember why. Â I had some kind of Cajun Shrimp and pasta dish that was just awful. Â The shrimp itself was spicy but without nuance. Â Kind of hit-you-over-the-head with pepper. Â Then there was the pasta which was overcooked and had zero flavor. Â I won't be returning.
Review Source:Ok, I am in Chicago, having just moved my son there. Â Restaurants all over the place. Â so where do we go? Â Applebees. Â I apologize, but every so often, I jst want something familiar.
The restaurant was busy even at 10 pm. Â May it was the Olympics or the White Sox plaing, but the parking lot was full and ti took three trips around before I got a recently vacated parking spot. Â One more time and I would have qualified. Â
Clean restaurant. Â Food was good and hot. Â Server was fine, though I thought it was odd when he told me I would not like the Long Island Iced Tea if I had it made from the well liquour. Â It tasted just fine to me.
Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary, good or bad. Â Just a nice, comfortable chain restaurant. Â Now off to McDonalds!
Guilty Pleasure!
Yeah, I know. Chain restaurant. Food people say I'm not allowed to like it, but if the food tastes good, who am I to complain? For those who live under a rock, Applebees is your regular American fare chain restaurant with a somewhat standard menu... so we're talking burgers, steak, chicken, grilled fish, sandwiches. It's easy to rip on the place. It's very popular and they actually have commercials on TV *gasp*.
The fact is  I never got anything at Applebees that I couldn't eat. The place seems to always be packed, but I never waited more than ten minutes for a table. Sometimes it's loud and people are cheering while watching sports on the flat screens. The service is pretty decent considering how crowded it is.
In terms of commercial American sit-down food chains, Applebees ranks higher than many others. Is it better than many of the high quality restaurants in the city? Definitely not. Don't judge. I like eating!
Went here on a Saturday night with my friend, and it was packed! Â But luckily we didn't have to wait to be seated we were promptly seated at a booth. Â This isn;t the first time I've ate here but I must admit the service isn't the best.
The food is great and always cooked to my order . Â I had a Steak and shrimp plate and it was cooked pretty decent. Â My friend order something similar and he enjoyed it as well. Â We also had the sampler appetizer and it was good as well no complaints on the food.
However they forggot to bring us silverware and it was a pain in the ass to get the waitress to come to the table. Â I am a big water drinker and I personally feel my cup needs to be filled at all times and I hate when I have to ask for a refill on WATER!! like really ?? that should be a no brainer. Â I didn't appreciate that once the food came to the table the waitress didn't come back until we were pretty much done didnt ask if evertyhing was ok. Â She simply laid the check on the table and walked off. Â
Overall the food is great but they NEED a friendlier staff
Wasnt a busy night when I came to eat...the waitress was cool n personable... The food kinda took a bit long but I'm in no rush usually. I had the florentine ravioli with chicken.. I saw this dish on foodnetwork today n I'm like mm I need to try this out! So i came here n they had it on the menu.. awesome! So i ate every drop on that plate it was delicious! I recommend it
Review Source:Elbert was an awesome server.  I liked the apple-balls in my martini.  I'm still giggling about it.  It's applebees, so I'm not going to comment about the food.  It's about helping out the servers who work a shitty job.  And Elbert was great.  So give him money, and sway to the 90's slow jams like you did at the 6th grade dance.  p.s. Elbert has  a set of pipes!
Review Source:Love applebees. Margaritas are good, sangria is amazing, and if you want non alcoholic drink you have got to try the frozen strawberry lemonade. AMAZING!! Food is always great here and portions could be a tad bigger, but it leaves room for dessert.
Must tries: lunch special- tomatoe basil soup and ceaser salad. Frozen strawberry lemonade. Dinner special- cheese stuffed meatballs on a bed of pasta is delish!
I love Applebee's as a rule, but this location really pretty much stinks. Â The service on three visits has been dismal on all counts. Â
The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is simply the fact that it's an Applebee's and the food is pretty hard to screw up, so it's still what you'd expect.
I ordered out. The staff was very accommodating and hooked up some pop b/c of my large order.
The food was ok..... I say that cuz I always order the asian chicken salad, and it was blah...
appetizer platter-ok
3 cheese pasta- good
quesadillas-weird cuz of bacon n cheese
broccoli soup-yum
onion soup-yum
asian chicken salad/500 calorie-good.. but small portion
I really love applebees. I've been to this one about 4 times, and each time I always order a cheeseburger. They have the best cheeseburgers, nobody can compare to them. Good fries too. Good honey mustard too ( I always order it on the side) I haven't been here in awhile, and I have been craving an applebees cheeseburger, I'll be back again soon!
Review Source:Let me start out by saying for some reason we really like Applebees. With that said, this is the "WORST APPLEBEES EVER!!" The servers are slow. Not like it took 5 mins to get my drinks slow. Slow as in it took 25 mins to get a refill. The food comes out cold. The servers and managers are rude. We thought we just came on a bad night, but know it happened on our next trip as well. This just a really really really bad Applebees.
Review Source:Meh. That's all I have to say about this location.
I was only ordering a carry out but I wasn't too impressed. The staff carelessly walked around the building laughing. There were also two managers on duty, the man looked professional and the women looked careless, bored, and unkept. BLAH.
The only thing that I liked was the bartender. I believe her name was Shuana or something along the lines. I was delightfully surprised that she stuck around as long as she would because there seemed to be a couple rowdy gentlemen that seemed to be locals. God!!! did that seem like the longest wait for food ever. They werent even funny just a bunch of douche bags talking about women leaving them ... how shocking.
I've eaten here twice just out of curiosity or desperation, and got diarrhea both times. Seriously.
Even if it was just a typically mediocre Applebees rather than a downright bad one, why would anyone eat at a mall-parking-lot chain restaurant in Chicago where there are dozens of wonderful restaurants in any neighborhood, the majority of which are downright cheap. Fast food is one thing, sure, everyone needs a quick  cheap junk food fix once in a while, but I just don't understand why people would spend time and money at a place like this.
Looking at the other reviews, it sounds like people just go here to drink frosty girl-drinks. Trust me, there are five restaurants within walking distance of this Applebees that make margaritas that would blow your mind. If only you people knew what you were missing.
So there's this great punk band from New York state called Acid Reflux and they have a song called "Oh good, there's an Applebee's!" Â
When I saw them a couple years back, before they played this song, the singer was like "hey, you guys like mangos?"
and the audience was like "yeah."
and he was like "mango fuck yourself.":
Applebee's is barf.
ok so this is the other restaurant I must write about.  Now I'm gonna sound like an alchy here bc da only reason I come here is to drink, order appetizers and chat w/ one of my great friends. We always order the perfect margarita because it comes in the lil tin here you can at least get 2-3 servings out of one =)  Now as far as da food, Definitely agree not da greatest. We normally just order wings cheese sticks and whatever else. It's 4 da drinks they get 4 stars, Now I know other reviews complained about drinks not tastin well and its because  Adam or Augusto weren't working the bar, they KNOW how to make drinks. Augusto is da best at makin "new" drinks you've never heard of.  If u sit by da bar they are great ppl to talk 2 also.  If it wasn't 4 them honestly probably wouldn't b here every week. ha ha.
Review Source:I've been here a couple times the first time the place was packed and the service was bad order came in an hour and a half , but we decided to come back and give it another chance. The service was great the next few times around, the food was good as the dessert and drinks were as well. Favorite drink strawberry lemonade, appetizers are what I come for mostly and the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream is the best I've tasted so far.
If you come to eat here I recommend to come for the drinks, appetizers and desserts.
OMG this place is horrible! Okay well maybe it's not that bad but it's definitely not good. I've been here several times and the food has always been less than mediocre.
Tonight I went there and I ordered the Sangria. It was lousy! Watered down and no flavor (or liquor for that matter). I can see why it was only 4 bucks. I will say that on a previous visit I had a caramel apple martini that was excellent. One star.
I ordered the fish and chips which was disgusting. The fish was so greasy! It makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. The saving grace of the meal tonight was the dessert. I had the Chimicheesecake. It was absolutely delicious. One star.
The server started off pretty good but he gradually lost interest in us. He actually brought the check out before the dessert! AND the dessert wasn't even included in the bill. So when we tried to get his attention to alert him to this error he came over and said "Wuz up?" You should have seen the look on my face! lol
Overall, this Applebee's sucks. The food is disgusting, the drinks and the service are hit or miss. I say you'd do better going to the KFC next door.
I usually try to avoid these types of places,but sometimes, the hubby really wants something from here(why, I don't really know,but I do indulge him once in a while). Very crowded and busy on a Friday night. Strike one-server too busy to get us water in a reasonable time. Strike two-server not working in a efficient manner,making several trips when,if properly planned,could save steps. Strike three-salad arrived drenched in wayyy too much dressing and me too hungry and tired of waiting to complain.I did however,love ,love ,love the Mango-Strawberry Margarita,and at $4,it was a bargain!! I might go back for some apps and cockies,on a less busy night. Our server was very nice and he did try very hard to keep up,so maybe it was an off night for him. I will try to be kinder.
Review Source:I am highly impressed with the quality of Applebee's and I'll admit they're as good as their rivals (Chili's) Admittedly, I go to Chili's more, but Applebee's is quickly becoming another player for my monetary devotion. I've decided that taking friends to Applebee's is a pretty good choice for an evening outing; the food has been great the prices very reasonable. The service is super too as the staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Pros: Ample Choices, Good quality, Reasonable Prices, Parking
Cons: none
Cost: $$ of 5
Overall Rating: 4.25 of 5
Recommendation: Highly Recommended
