Customer Review Summary
Devin, the server, provided excellent service with great recommendations. Food was average; rib-eye was decent, and wings were unimpressive. First-time visit had a friendly server and clean bathrooms, and the drink was enjoyable. One customer loves Applebee's for the atmosphere, food, and courteous staff. Service was friendly, but the buffalo wings were too salty; tacos and desserts impressed. A 1-star review criticized the new manager for a poor experience, despite past satisfaction. Another review praised friendly service and enjoyed the spicy wonton tacos and quesadillas during happy hour. One diner had a frustrating wait time for takeout, while another enjoyed great food and perfect service. Overall, diners remark on reasonable prices and express a willingness to return.

Devin was an amazing server, recommendations and attention to customer needs are top-notch. Food was standard fair, Rib-eye was decent, wings (Buffalo) kinda pass worthy but overall a decent experience.

Quick lunch , first time in this location , server was amazing but did nit catch her name, bathrooms (Men) pretty clean, close from the mall so I am sure to coming back, the drink was good too but forgot the name

Whenever my friend Jackie asks me to go out after work on a Friday and where to go, I will just look at her and say nothing and she will say "Ok, I know you want to go to Applebee's" and I will just nod with excitement 😊. We love the location, food, atmosphere, and staffs are courteous and will always check on you. I live this place.

The service is amicable and the food was average. We ordered wings and the buffalo sauce was not good as it was too salty. We also ordered salmon fish, tacos, shrimp pasta, ribs, lemon chicken rice, chocolate cake and cinnamon cake. The best out of all is tacos and chocolate cake and cinnamon cake dessert. It was the best and you would want to reorder it. Other than that ribs was delicious as I don’t eat pork/beef. Overall It was an avg restaurant in my experience. In terms of alcohol I am non alcoholic and I tried only the lemonade and it was good.

Service was nice, our waiter was super friendly. Wonton taco had a kick to it. Meaning it was a Lil spicy for me. The Quesadillas was on point. We went to happy hours so everything was half off. Was able to watch the game

This is the slowest Applebees ever. I came in on Tuesday not that many people, it took them 40 minutes to get a $20 take out meal ready. Unbelievable, not cool!

The food was great and the service was perfect. It’s been years since I’ve been to an Applebees. The prices were very reasonable. I will definitely return soon.
