If you are starting your meal with appetizers then make sure you skip the Classic Buffalo sauce, Honey BBQ sauce, and sweet Asian Chile sauce on your wings order. It is highly recommended to skip the appetizers if you are dining alone and instead build your appetizer keeping nutrition in check. Among the steaks, you must stay away from the Applebee's Riblets platter as well as Bourbon Street Steak at all costs. Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloin is also not recommended. Skip the sandwiches, wraps, and tacos as well. Desserts may be tempting but it is recommended to avoid them at Applebee's for their high sugar content.

got a $50 giftcard to applebees, so we had to go. save $40, go to wendys and get a better meal. If you have a giftcard to spend here, we found out on the way out the door that they had kendall jackson wines for sale, so just go here and drink some decent wine and leave. service was adequate.

I love this location. It always reminds me of when I was in high school and this was the place to be. A good tip is that you can get any of their salads as a roll up. I always do this with the oriental chicken salad. Just ask. :)

Best Applebee's I've been to. Plus, my girlfriend left her iphone 5 on the table and they placed it in the safe until we picked it up. Awesome service, hot food, good drinks, and overall a better Applebee's then the rest.

Thieves! Do NOT go to this Applebee's unless you want your credit card stolen. My elderly parents went there and found out a few days later that their credit card number was stolen and charges were being racked up for Apple equipment and other web purchases. This was the first time they used their card in months, so it was obvious that the waitress lifted their card. They called the manager and he was less than helpful. He said he would look into it and didn't offer an apology. Unless you want your credit destroyed, pay with cash at this Applebee's. Better yet, eat somewhere else....like Isaac Newton's!

I remember the uproar when Applebees and another fast food shop were permitted to enter Newtown. It was the beginning of the end to life as we knew it! Not. Applebees has taken its place as a well utilized restaurant in the Village of Newtown Shopping Center. It follows the national formula and does not deviate beyond the mean. It is busy for lunch, dinner and late night, and fits the need for a modestly priced option among all the high end restos in the area. I don't go often, but I am glad it is there. When I do, I stick with the ample fresh salads, and an occasional burger. I sit at the bar when I dine alone, or one of the booths when with family. I have not had a bad experience, nor ever felt it was misplaced here. Go. Enjoy. Have a good time. This shop is locally owned by The Rose Group, and even if you prefer to avoid chains that expropriate your money out of the community, this particular franchise does not. You can have a clear conscience.

Likes: 1/2 price app menu after 9pm and $2 Yuengling from 9-11pm every day Open to Midnight or later every day, good option for late night eats in Newtown Friendly service Dislikes: Fried green beans were SUPER salty even without any of their sauces Wings were cooked well but doused in too much sauce; will get sauce on side next time. Other: We used the Tablet point of sale terminal to order our apps. It was pretty easy to use and convenient. However, when we pressed "order" the system told us there was an error. We of course tried again and it went through this time. Food comes out and there are 2 each of the apps. The server was apologetic and removed the duplicate from our check but FYI that if there is an issue with the tablet, just ask the server instead of trying to order again since it may have gone through! Overall, we will probably revisit, only because of the reasonably priced food/drink and convenience. Visit was what I expected for an Applebee's.

I've probably been to this location about 100 times with friends over the years--no exaggeration. We still go about once a week for half-priced apps. I always get some sort of subset of the following: boneless wings, nachos, Asian chicken salad, or onion rings. All the food here is as should be expected: average. Nice staff and a nice location. Everything is just average, but you can't beat the prices after 9 PM. I will continue to come back here.

My kids love Applebee's and we are there once or twice a month... so last night's disappointment was... well a disappointment... I had the Shrimp and Steak Cheese dinner... and the steak had a lot of gristle which I could put up with... but raw meat that was still cold... not quite what I would call medium rare. Anyway I sent it back (something I haven't done in many, many years) they stuck it in the microwave and reheated the whole plate... well the steak got cooked but the vegetables got soggy and the shrimp became hard little rocks. But on a brighter note, I was fortunate enough to have the company of a very good friend and lots of good conversation!!! so I still managed to have a good night! Who knows maybe they will read this and not act so cheeseeee next time...

I've been going to this Applebee's since it opened in 2001/2002. This restaurant has had its ups and downs. I am pleased with the 2 for $20 menu, and am glad it's changes often. Their food is decent. I like their new honey pepper menu. Also, my favorite "classic" dish is their oriental salad. One of the nice things this Applebee's does is every once in a while they give out free kids meals!!

I got a waitress that was on top of her game. We got 4 of the new appetizers and the lime chicken. All of it was great. The New menu items are worth the trip, maybe they have turned the corner.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
