DANTE “FLAWLESS” DELT
Yesterday, I took my family to 🍎 🐝's for my nephew's Birthday Dinner‼️It was pretty busy, so we had a little wait, but it was worth it‼️ Our Server Justice was joyful, fast, & friendly‼️She was training Jakeyl and he did a great job as well‼️We didn't have to ask for refills or anything because they stayed on top of everything‼️ I love that Applebee's has a FULL BAR and a bunch of Tv's, so my people can order Cocktails and watch all the NBA Basketball Games‼️ We were even able to ask for a specific channel change and that was cool 👍🏿 ‼️Small accommodations like that, go a long way in my book‼️ This is one of the better 🍎 🐝's that we've been to in a while and we would definitely be back, when we're in the area‼️

There was so much traffic that you couldn't enjoy your food unless you were seated in a booth. Everyone passing through had their backsides at our head level. We ordered a sampler appetizer, and the cheese in the mozzarella sticks were so cold that they were like chewing gum. The spinach dip was cold to the point that the cheese was no longer gooey but had solidified. We asked to be moved, but the waitress forgot. Let's just say that most of the food was left on the plates. Maybe it's better for happy hour 🤔

Called because they forgot my fries thru a DoorDash order talk to the night manager who was super apologetic and offer a gift card amazing customer service mind you I’m pregnancy so we get very hangery and when we have a craving we need it lol but I can’t be mad she was very very kind and I appreciate her empathy. Great job 👏 and sandwich was actually very delicious

Recently went to dine in with my family and I was pleasantly surprised. The service was great. It started with the host, we were greeted very enthusiastically and with a warm smile. Our server was super nice as well and accommodating to all our needs, not once did we have to ask for a refill or any dressing, always smiling and made us feel welcomed. It was the best service I've had in a really long time in a restaurant. Will definitely come back.

Joscelin was one of the best Serves we had at the Applebees at the location in E Stockton in Elk Grove she was very kind very helpful when it came to Food items we needed help on she even promoted the Special they had for this months The Really Big meal deal which you can’t beat that. Even the half price appetizer from 3pm to 6pm and another happy hour from 6pm to 12am and weekends till 1am The cocktails drinks were amazing. I will recommend my family and friends to come here. Great service!!!

I recently was from the hospital after 5 weeks and have been in Rehab. Yesterday, I needed to get out, though it was raining hard. I went to the Applebee's in Elk Grove to have a light lunch and work on my laptop. I have not been to Applebee's in 20 years. I was very impressed with the menu, the kind staff, and their professionalism. I highly recommend Applebee's. BTW I had 2 extraordinary servers with Leslie and Bryanna. Thank you both for your kindness and professionalism.

Not happy at all. Went to lunch with a coworker, we both ordered the same thing and we got served something completely different than what we ordered. The sandwiches bottom bun was so soggy that we couldn’t even pick it up. I was impressed when the server took our order without writing it down, not so surprised when we got the wrong order. Worst part is that I was charged full price for a sandwich I didn’t order and didn’t eat. They offered to remake it but we had already been there over an hour. Very disappointed, definitely won’t be going back and would recommend eating elsewhere
