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.
