I don’t usually leave reviews, but the service at this Applebee’s—specifically from Zach—was so exceptional that I had to! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. He checked in the perfect amount, made great recommendations, and had a fantastic attitude the entire time. The food was okay, but honestly, Zach’s outstanding service is what made this visit a 5-star experience. If you’re coming here, I highly recommend asking for him—you won’t be disappointed! One small suggestion: I wish the checkout kiosk had an option to pay by item. It would make splitting the bill much easier. Hopefully, that’s something they consider adding in the future!

Good experience eating good in the neighborhood with fam… we got 2 of the 2 for 26 and it was pretty good. The only thing is the salad was drenched in dressing and the riblets were drenched in sauce but that’s not bad to some people… also they need to sit people down at a bigger table ngl lol but it’s all good… thanks Applebees. Ps. Your Oreo shake was 🔥

Short wait. Applebee's has a good menu and the prices can be compared to McDonald's at this point. We had a smart and friendly server, orders came out quickly and prepared well. It's time to remove the carpet.
