High Blood Pressure at Applebee's

Most of the foods served at Applebee's restaurants are high in sodium. Unless you are visiting the restaurant or dining here in the group, there are hardly any options from the main meals if you wish to keep your blood pressure in check. You can rely on a few salad options though. If lucky, you may find low-sodium ribs as well at the restaurant.

Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Blood Pressure

Avoid Green Goddess Wedge at Applebee's. Broccoli Cheese Soup and French Onion Soup contain over 1000mg sodium and hence must be skipped as well. Skip all the chicken dishes and seafood at Applebee's except Grilled Chicken Breast and Baked Haddock without sides respectively. You must also skip Brunch Burger, Quesadilla Burger, Triple Bacon Burger, and Whiskey Bacon Burger at Applebee's. High sodium intake can be lethal for a high blood pressure candidate. Avoid ordering foods that contain over 1000mg sodium at Applebee's, especially if you're dining alone.

High Cholesterol at Applebee's

Well, steaks and ribs go hand in hand with cholesterol. Being their signature dish, it will be a challenge to find low-calorie, healthy food for those concerned with their cholesterol levels. However, you can always opt for their salads and other light foods to keep the cholesterol in check.

Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Cholesterol

If you have high cholesterol, then you must avoid eating sandwiches, wraps, and tacos at Applebee's. While the salads and soups sound healthy, you must skip the Fiesta Chopped Salad and Loaded Potato Soup at Applebee's. It is also advised to dodge the Three Cheese Chicken Penne and Chicken Fajita Rollup. Any main meal with over 100mg cholesterol is not idle for someone with high cholesterol. So, skip those items at Applebee's.

    Went there for lunch today, sat at a high top table by the bar. Host was not very personable, but we gave it a chance. Wrong idea. We waited 15 min, not even a greet or anything. We seen all sorts of servers walk by our table, ignoring us. After waiting, we got up and left. All the host said was "leaving already?" Really?! He said it in a tone as if he wanted to know if the table was now 'available'. Will never I back. I am not the biggest fan of Applebee's, and this just sealed the deal. Get it together people.

    FILTHY! I ordered the 9oz house sirloin via Delicious Deliveries. The delivery was very late (not Applebees fault) and I wish we hadn't ordered from there even before I tasted my food. The serving portion was small considering the amount of money I'd paid. The mashed potatoes were filthy and the steak was like rubber, if it even was steak. I've had better steak from Swanson's frozen dinners! I asked for well done, not rubberized! I've never had such filthy food via delivery before. If I had been in the restaurant I would've sent it back, no doubt! Add insult to injury they didn't even include my side of veggies. So I feel completely ripped off and the food was nasty to top it off. I won't be going back here again! Worst experience!

    Service was fabulous, professional, courteous w a smile, and beyond expectation for a casual chain restaurant. I was impressed w my server, Stephanie, and especially w another one I observed (Chanel). Chanel was extremely patient w a special needs gentleman. She brought each of the dressings to taste. She pointed to each one describing and writing what they were. She was consistently taking her time with him with his many questions and listening intently to his speech impediment to understand his needs. She even kept him updated on his spending to keep within his spending budget and; yet, she still was able to take care of her other tables at the same time without slacking. Wow! I ordered the unlimited soups & salads between 11-3 for $6.99 & my mom ordered the baby back ribs (nice smoky flavor she commented). The grilled shrimp & spinach salad was very tasty served w hot (actually served nice & perfectly warm) bacon vinaigrette and Steph made sure I was perfectly satisfied and full w refills of the great salad & soup of the day (broccoli & cheese). Once again, pleasantly surprised with the quality & price for a casual dining experience. Thank you Steph, Chanel, and the hostess Yvonne.

    When it's late and everyone else has closed on a weekday, it's either a trip to Delux or a trip to here. When my wallet is weeping, this is the place to go. Their remodel is great and not so cluttered anymore, the place is always packed because the happy hour beer is cheap, service is able to keep up, and so far I haven't had any major qualms. Everything has been quite a good experience and the food is what you would expect from Applebee's. Not extravagant, but not absolutely horrible. Their sirloin choices are perfect for when I want to keep the calories as low as I can at an Applebee's (I really should be going to Sweet Tomatoes next door, but I lack self-control) and they give generous portions for everything.

    Terrible service sitting at the bar for happy hour. My glass sat empty for long periods of time. A passing waiter actually saw the empty glass and gave it to the bar tender. Sad.

    I never thought I would rate a chain so highly but their burgers are absolutely delicious! I got the Standard, stuffed with bacon, pickle and onions cooked 'pink' (not rare or well-done; just right). Super juicy on a perfectly toasted bun. I would have ate 2 if my stomach had room. Fries were good and french onion soup is above average. I would give 5 stars but they were short staffed and drink refills were hard to come by and they forgot our soup so it came with the meal instead of before which we made sure to request to avoid that. Despite that small inconvenience, the burgers made up for it. Staff was very nice despite being stretched too thin. Get the burger!

    Like I get it.. It's Applebee's and I shouldn't expect a lot but our food was awfulllll. The 13 dollar salmon portion was less than half the size of the picture and all of the vegetables that came with it were obviously frozen with no flavor and a gross feeling in your mouth :/ I would only go here for a cheap drink!! (They aren't strong though so.. Maybe I won't be back)

    Came here for a birthday party with about 13 of us from the office. Food was good and the price was right. I had the lunch combo with the 4 cheese Mac & cheese with bacon and honey pepper chicken and the California shrimp salad. Both were tasty. The best part though was the $.99 brownie bite with a tiny scoop of ice cream for dessert. Just the perfect size! Service was good especially considering how big our party was.

    Strange experience. Staff was friendly, restaurant was moderately clean. However, my wife ordered a hamburger with an egg (can't remember the name). The egg was Sunnyside up. When we asked them to cook it completely we were told they would burn it. I asked why they couldn't cook another egg....the kitchen manager said "no one wants it that way". After much discussion they cooked another egg. My bill was $90 with tip......would've been spent more wisely somewhere else. I won't be back.

    The entrees are not that great. I have ordered a steak and pasta here before and they're nothing special. I would say that their best items are the appetizer items. I love the sampler,especially! It has yummy spinach and artichoke dip, spicy boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, carrots and celery, and quesadillas. You might as well just order this as your meal. Staff is nice.

  • Jaycen N.

    I had such a great time out of the three times Ive been there, oh yea this was a first! And actually the servers in the past have been very rude and normally they all judge you before they even arrive to the table to ask for drinks! I server tables as well and I know that if I don't give a great customer experience a couple of thing could happen they won't come back, they won't tip accordingly and they would just tell others how much the service sucked! Now our new server Amy she's a beast I give her 5 stars the only reason why I'm not giving a full five stars to Applebee's yelp is just because Applebee's will need to prove to me that they value customers! I'll be back but only if Amy can serve me! FYI stake was good!

  • Stephanie S.

    My sister and I were killing time waiting for the dogs to get groomed, so we came here for lunch. The food was what you expect. We got the sampler with like 5 different things, great to snack on and catch up! Tons of food! However, this 5 star review is all because of our server, Thomas. He was so sweet and so attentive. It is so rare to encounter someone who you can tell actually enjoys their job! Keep up the good work, Thomas!

  • Harol L.

    Where to begin...I am first courteously seated by the host (props to the host). Once seated, we then wait for our waiter to arrive. Not knowing who it is yet a person walks by and says, "whatcha you want to drink?". Um...yeah hi, how are you or how about a hey I'm going to be your waiter. Anyways... just thought he was super busy which is ok. Once he's back with our drinks he takes our orders. We both order the same meal, steak and shrimp with broccoli. My girlfriend asked to substitute the broccoli with mushrooms and add grilled onions. I want to add more shrimp to my order. Our meals arrive, mine looked fine but hers had two orders of mashed potatoes, mushrooms and onions. Looked strange at first but whatever we went with it, we were hungry. Here is where it gets interesting. As my girlfriend was eating her mashed potatoes she feels a chewy piece in her mouth. She takes it out and it looks like a piece of toilet paper or some kind of white paper. (We had brown paper napkins only, not a single white napkin or paper on the table.) The bad part is, this was one of her last bites and didn't think of returning the food at that point. So, to not make scene we just inform our waiter about the piece of paper and advice him to let the cooks know to be more careful. He grabs our plates, grins and doesn't say a word....ok. He then comes back and sets the check on the table and again walks away. It gets worse, we notice all of substitutes were charged as well. Did he not understand what a substitute is? We ate it so whatever, we were over it and just wanted to leave. I would rate the food a 5 star for taste minus the paper in my food but 0 stars for service. Hint to the waiter: Next time attempt to act like you care. A simple, Im sorry let me see what I can do, goes a long way. I wasn't expecting a free meal but it would have been nice to least offer another side to make up for the contaminated mashed potatoes. Also, we were really nice about he whole thing, next time you may not get people like us.

    Asked for the gluten-free menu and was told that I the hostesses had them so had to get up and run around to track one down--it was never found and management finally printed out a new menu about 20 minutes later. A terrible smell kept coming back, even despite the efforts of the hostesses and their over-spraying of air freshener throughout the entire space. The air freshener was not a good mix with my food either. The plus, great bartender who kept the drinks coming and made sure to keep tabs on the slow food order.

    I usually looooove this Applebee's. I'm a regular usually here at least twice a month. Tonight though, ughhhhhhhh-nnoying, our server, Alex was so incredibly inattentive. It took very long to have drinks ordered after being sat. Then I didn't get to start my meal for exactly 1 hour and 2 minutes (I timed it). Also, the water glasses tasted awful and due to how we were NEVER given attention to for over 40 minutes, they stayed at our table until we finally said something. To top it off refills were NEVER offered until after our food came.Even when the food came we were never asked the infamous "how is everything, ladies." Thankfully, Neill Courtney (The Manager) came and explained the entire situation and deducted our bill. Absolutely amazing service on his part.

  • Victoria K.

    Bumping this up to 5 stars. As I have stated before, they have really good appetizers... the wings and the mozzarella sticks are my favorite. For Dinner there is a really good 4 cheese mac and cheese with honey pepper tenders... get them! They are amazing! Both the mac n cheese which has some bacon in it, and the chicken tenders (OMG so good) are great choices. If you're thinking you want a less caloric meal, go for the lemon Parmesan shrimp on the 550 or less menu. It is really good, and I always get a side of the stuffed mushroom for less than $2 extra. So good. Service is usually always great, and I haven't had a meal I didn't like here.

    On a Thursday it took 15 min after being seated for us to get our drink orders. The waiter couldn't have been any more socially awkward. Also we got the Spinach Artichoke dip and the chips were SOAKED in what I'm assuming was grease.

  • Chelsea W.

    This is the WORST Applebees ever! My boyfriend and I came for the soup and salad lunch special. The waitress seemed to be someplace else the entire time. When I ordered my first salad and soup I asked that no bread be put in my French onion soup. When it came not only did it have bread it had a french fry in it. I sent the soup back and asked for the breadsticks that accompany and the waitress brought back the soup and no breadsticks. Long story short we had to ask 3 additional times for breadsticks and when they finally came they were greasy as hell. Besides the piss poor service the dishes were dirty. The only thing that was consistent was the waitress apologizing to the other patrons for the multiple screw ups. Never again, it makes no sense to have such horrible customer service and expect to be tipped.

    Let's just sum it up quickly. Wait was terrible on a late Thursday night. Finally seated, 15 mins before they took our order. Food came out, cold and or overcooked. Only good thing was our waiter, he was doing his best. Will not be returning with all the late night choices down Central.

    We have been to this location a few times with varying levels of success. None have ever been great. We actually hadn't been there for about a year when we decided to give it another shot a few nights ago. We walked in about 8:30pm and it wasn't busy. Stood around for at least 5 minutes before we were seated. Once seated we waited 8 to 10 minutes for our waitress to even come over. We placed our order and when the waitress brought our food she just set it down and quickly walked away. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal except one of our meals was the total wrong thing. She was no where to be seen for several minutes. In the time we were waiting I took a bite of my steak and spit it back out. It tasted bad. It was gray looking inside and had a funny taste. So the waitress finally comes back and we tell her one of the orders was wrong and grabs a menu and procedes to debate what we ordered. She just wrote down the wrong thing. We ended up not eating. Our meal was ruined. This is the worst Applebee's ever.

    I came in with my wife and two children on my birthday, June 26th. The hostess sat a party that came in after us, and would have Sat another if my wife hadn't spoken up. We waiting almost 15 minutes for our drinks, and almost 45 minutes for our food. All we ordered were fryer items and a medium rare steak. When the steak came it was only a few degrees away from being well done, hardly any pink at all and the baked potato was cold. All the other food was great! I brought the issues up to the manager and he was so kind and professional. He cut our bill almost in half. I was pleased with his attention and caring for customers. Thank you!

    I haven't been to an Applebee's in years and years. Seriously, I usually eat locally. But I was in Phoenix with a friend and honestly didn't have the time or inclination to go to a local Phoenix establishment, especially when I was starving and ready to head back to Tucson. So, Applebee's it was. And it was great! For two people the bill was about $36 and this include two meals for about $12 year, including my big bowl of spicy shrimp pasta. It came with some bread, and a big plate of onion rings and a delicious sauce- tasted like Jack Daniel's sauce. We finished it off with the little .99 cent brownie bites with ice cream- since I could barely move and was so full with delicious goodness it was a perfect size to finish off with. Service was outstanding, ice tea refilled on a constant basis. Very very good!

    Went with a group of 9 (one of them our 2 yr old) here and it was a Friday night so we understood a wait was going to happen so we gave our name and went to wait, they told us a 40 min. wait time, well 30 min. in we heard them call my friends name, went inside and they said no sorry they didn't have enough seats for 9 only 6 so never mind, went outside to wait again and after another 15 minutes my friend went in to ask if our table was ready yet, they said it would have to be another 40 minutes because when they had called our name the first time they crossed our group off!!! Needless to say we told them they were the dumbest lousy people in the world and left to eat at Zipp's on Bethany Home near 15th street, we had a great time and great food there instead!

    Ok, now do not judge. Normally we do not going to chain restaurants, but we decided to try out the wings at Applebee's. They have there wings for $.25 per wing after 11pm everyday. So, the wings were not all that bad for the price. We ordered them hot and they came out a little spicy. Also when you order the wings you have to buy 10 to get them at $.25 per wing. Since we were at Applebee's the server was really good he did a great job taking care of us. If you decided to go to Applebee's for a late night snack. You should try out the wings.

    Waited and waited for a table at lunch time. Two parties (each with two in the party) came in after us (we were also two) and both of them were seated before us - one pair was even seated at a table in the area we requested. We left and I will never return. The food isn't worth that kind of treatment.

    I can't believe the the Bourbon Hamburger can not be ordered without mushrooms, unless of course you also leave off the onions and peppers. as I despise mushrooms, I did just that and ended up with a rather dry and tasteless hamburger. I was very disappointed to say the least.

    My family and I have visited this location on numerous occasions and we have had great service. Unfortunately tonight's visit was far from superb as we are used to. We walked in and requested a BOOTH for 5, we told there was another group ahead of us and it would be 10- 15 minutes. When our table was finally ready for us 15 minutes later, it was not a booth. I told her specifically ,"I requested a booth not a table with chairs." She responded with, " I was not aware of that request." So I told her, "I refuse this table since I requested a booth." She again responds, " you didnt say anything of that sort when you walked in." At this point my fiance chimes in with, "Actually, he said a booth for 5 please?" The hostess then tells us,"This table is all we have for you at this time and to wait for a booth will be another 30 minutes." I told her, "Fine then we will will wait." She got an attitude and began gathering all the napkins and flat ware that she just laid out at the table along with the menus. At this point I was furious, more so because I was getting the attitude from someone who obviously had no concern for my request and then got upset when I corrected her. I was so mad that I was ready to leave and go elsewhere and when I expressed that to her. She retorted "Fine, go somewhere else and eat I don't care!" After hearing her say that I asked to speak to the manager, she completely ignored me and walked away. Another employee gladly got the attention of the manager for me and when I expressed my disbelief and how I felt so disrespected to him. All I was told is, "I will talk to her about this this." I'm sorry but when people come into your establishment and no matter what the situation is, automatically spend $60 or more on food and drinks you should do everything in your power to make them feel at ease. We finally got our booth in a matter of minutes after talking to the manager. To put the icing on the cake, I noticed after that anyone requesting a booth after we were seated got one right away. This had me heated, then my fiance told me," You made a complaint, so now she is gonna do everything to make sure she doesn't get another one tonight." To say the least I hope the young lady has a much better night. Our server EMO was great, he was very attentive and got everything correct! He turned my experience around for such an awful beginning.

    It's not like I ever think to myself, Applebees sounds good. But I live in the area and they are open late, so I've been to this location for dinner 3-4 times in the past year. I can't say many good things about the food. The BLT is horrible. The bacon cheeseburger is merely okay. Could have been better except the meat was really well done. Last time I went, I ordered a chicken+mushroom+zucchini with red potatoes entree, and they brought out shrimp over white rice. Although they were apologetic and did get the correct order out about 10 minutes later. I've only ordered alcohol here once. It was during happy hour and I got a huge margarita. I easily finished it but didn't even get a tiny buzz. They must really water down the drinks. This seems like more of a place to go and hang out and have a few drinks and maybe get an appetizer to share. It's not a destination restaurant for me. I've had better food at Denny's.

    Applebees is a decent place to get a hot meal. They've been remodeling a lot of their locations it seems, and this one has a nice feel to it. I think overall they have fair prices and a good selection. I wish they wouldn't have changed their menu so much. They took away my all time favorite dessert, the maple butter blondie. Sad day. But they've added some good stuff (shrimp and parmesan steak is not bad at all!) Applebees is a good deal, nice staff, okay design, nothing extraordinary, but does the job. I'll be back.

    My first time going to Apple bees I was impressed with the setting and the food. It became my favorite restaurants afterwards. I especially love the Trio Appetizer. It's a great meal and at a good price. Their wings are the best. Their fries are excellent. The service there is pretty good and most of them are friendly. I like Applebee because of their food, service, and a great place to hang out and eat.

    Went for late lunch with my aunt & cousin after my aunt had a procedure done on her heart at Good Samaritan Hospital. My salad wad good & my aunt's lunch was okay but my cousins was cold and she had to have the fries remade because they were cold. Sorry but don't remember the waiters name but he acted put out when we asked him for anything. Don't care to go back to this location but will go to the one in our area.

    So, I ate there on Wednesday and it is now Friday. I have not had solid food or been able to keep anything down since I went there. In an area that has so many great places don't go there. Keep driving east on Camelback and hit one of the many other restaurants on that street.

    Decent for an Applebees. Bartender was a somewhat overly flamboyant gay dude but he was ok. He seemed to stir up bar drama with the wait staff. Other patrons seemed to enjoy his drinks so whatever. It's applebees so the microwaved food is pretty predictable so stick with what you know. Patrons ran the entire spectrum to include an 85 year old white guy regular sitting at the bar gumming down a dry ass steak. This placed lived up to it's neighbood bar identity as I sat next to the aforementioned geezer, some young mexican dude drinking coors light like water, a 30 something black female with a bad wig and petulant stare and the two slightly past their primes but sort of holding it together white women. It's America baby, good times.

    Love the remodel ! So glad they fixed things . . .Even the staff got better...YAY! SO - I went to meet a friend for some drinks and was so pleasantly surprised by the remodel. The bartender was freindly and attentive. I ordered some chicken taco things and they were really good, just as she said they would be. I'm still not too excited about the restrooms, need some fixin, so you only get three stars, restrooms for women are important - we gotta sit down! as far as cost, well, Charles H. I expect to pay when I go out, be it happy hour or whatever, you cant put a price on good service!

    If I were reviewing this on service alone, I would give 5 stars to our waiter. He was overworked and had a very slow kitchen to deal with. Yes, we were a party of 8 and another party of 8 was seated just before us. You are a chain. Isn't your kitchen prepared for big parties? Our waiter was very patient and fantastic. We had 4 hungry and tired kids. It seemed like the food took forever to come out to the table. I don't think we were complicated just had a lot of people. Applebees please staff your restaurant appropriately, so our poor waiter can have the help he deserves.

    Every time I go to the gay Applebees I poop funny afterward. I've only gone here for happy hour for the $2 tall domestic beers and the half price apps. I hadn't been in almost a year and sat down at the bar on a busy night and the bartender said "hey man I haven't seen you in like a year." I thought that was pretty fucking cool seeing as I hadn't been more than 2-3 times ever. The food is exactly what you would expect from an Applebees. It's trailer trash "fancy night out" food and great food for unsophisticated people. I am also amazed this location seems to be open till 1am on the weekends... probably because it is the gay applebee's. Thanks.

    I totally love going to Applebees! Especially on Tuesday's! Karaoke!! Although, this particular Applebees kinda sucks on Karaoke Tuesday's because the d.j.'s aren't as entertaining as other d.j.'s at other Applebees. I was sad about that! But the host's are so damn nice, and cheerful! I just wanted to kiss them all! Oh, and the dinner is good as well.

    You get what you pay for at Applebee's (ok, actually you get less than what you pay for) But I mean seriously, it's Applebee's. If you go in there with no expectations and ignore the fact that their kitchen is probably just freezers and microwaves then you will be fine. (and if I was basing stars on that alone I would have given it just 2, 'cause I mean...its Applebee's.. However, the beer was cheap and the staff was nice, so it gets brownie points) I try not to go to places like these, because frankly I think if you are on that much of a budget you should either A.) Go to the grocery store and cook at home or B.) Go to a local place where you can get a better deal and real food. However, on this evening I was walking from the light rail with a friend after leaving the DBacks game, and said friend was exceptionally hungry and not in the mood to walk far.. So we went in. I was however pleasantly surprised that their happy hour started at 9, which made me feel much better about spending money there. The beer was a good size, either bigger than a pint or in a deceptively charming glass that makes it look bigger than a pint. While there wasn't a lot of decent beer choices, they were cheap. We got a couple of HH apps. and they were as expected, bleh. But it was food and that was the whole point at that time.. The ranch was sweet... I Hate sweet ranch...gross. The high point here was the host, he was very pleasant and efficient. Staff over all was nice really, and the beer was cheap early on, so it served its purpose.

    One of the only reasons i go to applebee's is cause it is so close to my work and threes not much but fast food around me, but every time i go there I feel the service is not that great the food always takes so long. I got a soup and salad lunchtime deal and it took like 15min which i know is not that long but for salad and soup?? They are never that busy but again the service is slow, I for the most part should not have to flag down a waiter to get a refill. I will start packing my lunch from now on :/

    I will give this Applebees location a 5 star and here's why. I used to work here and know the cooks and staff. I have inside information on how this location does things in relationship to other locations I had filled in at. This location has better cooks and better management than some of the other locations. It shows in the food. Very seldom do I eat at this location and get a bad meal. Best nights to go Friday or Saturday after 4pm. The best cooks are working then, these guys have been at this location for over 8 years and they know what they are doing.

    My first time ever eating at an Applebee's establishment was last Monday. Apparently the have happy hour here from 9-until close. We arrived around 9:30 so our margaritas were only 3 bucks. We also ordered off of the 550 calorie & under menu which consisted on us getting a steak or chicken variation. The food as well as the service was very good. I bought drinks for myself & a friend plus my food brought our bill to only $27. All in all a pretty nice experience for a casual restaurant.

    I live across the street from this Applebee's, and I've been going there for years. terrific service almost every time -- sometimes I've even called the manager over to COMPLIMENT the server. The decor is kinda casual laidback sports bar. It's a neighborhood chain folks: Don't go there expecting the it to be like the Ritz or the Biltmore. A steak dinner here only costs $10-$12 bucks. And for that price, it's surprisingly good!!! I want my steak medium-rare (on the rare side), and that's how they serve 'em to me. On the rare occasion that I'm dissatisfied, I ask 'em to "repair the damage" and they do it immediately - and with an apology and a friendly smile. The first time I at here I really liked it, and I told my 'rents. They wouldn't even try it. Took me weeks to convince them to walk in the door. Then, they decided to eat at this Applebee's 3 - 5 nights a week! And, sometimes they did eat at the Ritz, so they knew the diff. As far as I'm concerned, for a neighborhood chain restaurant, Applebee's is just fine, thank you very much!

    The quality of the food was excellent, the server was very on top of it with getting our drinks and order. It was loud, but that made the atmosphere fun to me. The only down side was the wait to get in was at least 20 minutes to a half hour, but maybe it's to be expected on a weekend night.

  • Anna Marie G.

    hmmm, never knew that TGIF's was less expensive than Applebees as the quality of food is much nicer at TGIF's. yesterday me and my girls went to happy hour at Applebees in hopes of finding some good inexpensive appetizers to go with some tasty cocktails. our visit was on to a great start, as our server took care of us like we were in a 5 star restaurant. he was so awesome; he should have been in a tux and bow tie. the cost for our drinks and food totaled $41.00 for 3 apps and 7 drinks which isn't bad for happy hour, but a few weeks ago we went to TGIF's for happy hour and ended up with 4 apps, and 2 rounds of specialty cocktails for 3 of us and the bill was under $30. all the appetizers were served at half mass, or at least half the portion served by TGIF's. the potato skins were so greasy not even the sour cream could make it go down smoothly. i did enjoy the spinach and artichoke dip, but the greasy chips were a little too much. kinda funny that the buffalo wings weren't greasy at all. my fav's were the spinach dip and the wings. the spinach dip was served in a kettle pan and there were big chunks of artichoke in it. the chips tasted freshly made but were a little greasy for my liking. i'll give them another try, but next time it's only wings for me!

    No, thanks. I can't help but think of Office Space's "Chotchke's and their pieces of flair every time I get sucked into going to Applebee's. The poor wait staff. And the food is just not good. It could be just an unfortunate coibncidence that of the seven or eight things I have tried they have all failed to impress me but somehow I doubt it. I don't like TGI Friday's very much, but of the two comparable restaurants, I much prefer it to Applebee's.

  • Thomas S.

    Well folks, I did the chain thing. I confess. Rickie and I had spent and exhausting day (and a quick $200) at Target and were thinking steaks. The budget didn't include Morton's or Ruth's Chris. I had brain freeze and forgot the local spots I love so much that grill a mean meat (i.e. Phoenix City Grill), so the first restaurant past Target that fit the bill was our local Applebee's on Camelback and Central. Mind you, I don't expect a decor marvel or a hostess so hip it hurts. I know what i'm getting myself into. For the most part. But I had recently seen a TV commercial from Applebee's and of course the food was airbrushed so perfectly like Celine Dion's face on the current issue of HELLO magazine. I mean, really, Celine, you have no wrinkles even after living in Las Vegas these past couple of years? Anyhoo, we were greeted and seeted promptly by a teenager who definitley just had a smoke and could use a visit to the tanning booth. Once seated, our server, Mo, took our drink and appetizer order and quickly disappeared. For quite awhile. Cue the Jeoporady theme music. Once our iced teas and the new appetizer (tuscan cheese bread extravangza) arrived we sipped and dipped. Not bad.Raspberry tea with an univited yet delighted visit by vanilla and the cheese spread was rich and yummy served with a spot of diced tomato, basi and garlic...aka bruscetta. NICE. We ordered onion chips, like an onion loaf or the blooming onion at Outback....they were good. Two sauces for our dipping pleasure...one your typical ranch, the other a sort of spiced up thousand island with horseradish. Then the entrees arrived. Cue the creepy dum, dum, dum, music...Both NY strip steaks over cooked to such an extreme. The asparagus was limp like, well, let's just say it reminded me of a Vietmanese gymnast I once dated who didn't take the little blue pill. Sides included mashed potatoes (loaded) which means bacon, cheese and sour cream. Ok, Ok, Ok, too much of the extras. What ladle in the kitchen did they pick to put these extras on my mashed potatoes? All in all, I had low expectations at this venue, and they were met. Shout out to Mo the server, a good gal! The clientele was like a scene out of Dawn of the Dead. Sorry. Lesson learned...Applebee's ok some of the time. Get an app and a drink. Skip the entrees. Be nice to a nice server. And for God's sake don't expect a steak worthy of the big chain peeps.

    On July 2nd, 2015, we visited this Applebee's. When we walked in we were greated by the hostess & told us to have a seat while she got a table ready. When we were seated at our table, it was still wet from being cleaned & the menus were sticking to the table. We had to wait 10 minutes for our server, Marc S. to come greet us and take our drink order. He then took a long time to bring us our drinks & when he brought our drinks, he didn't bring my beer. We didn't get any napkins or silverware when we were seated or when we finally got our drinks. Marc finally brought my beer & took our order. When he brought us our food, we still didn't have any napkins or silverware. He brought us 2 napkins & 3 forks. He never came back to check up on us. We finished our drinks, and we wanted refills were wanted & I wanted another beer. We sat at our table with no drinks trying to eat our food for at least 20 mins. That is unacceptable. I had to ask the hostess to have Marc come back. He finally came over and we ordered refills. Throughout our experience there & with Marc, he wasn't personable at all & not a pleasant interaction with him. I though Applebee's was supposed to be an upbeat fun place to go with our family & friends for a bite to eat, get some drinks & enjoy our experience. This was my worst experience ever at this Applebee's & any other Applebee's for that matter. Not planning on going there again anytime soon. Very disappointing & a terrible experience.

    The food is good but the service is awfull. Seems like they're always shortstaff. I've been there 3 times and everytime we have an issue with the service. You place your order with the waiter/waitress and just takes to getyour food. Last time i waited 45 minutes and we decided to leave because the waitress came back and told us that for some reason the order was not put in the system. Not coming back to this particular Applebees.

    Food tastes good, great drinks, unfortunately they forgot a third of our order as it never came out but we were charged for it. No biggie, stuffed anyway and the missing item was quickly taken off the bill. The bartenders on 1-9-15 were attentive and great given how busy it was. Will definitely go back.

    Cheap for a steak, good service, and the drinks were alright and cheap on happy hour prices. My 2 year old was happy with the crayons and paper provided and there were other kids around too. Not bad for a chain restaurant on a week night.

    These type of chain places are noy my jam- It was OK- they do have some pretty awesome Happy Hour Specials on drinks and food- that being said, i would come back, but only for those deals and only with girlfriends for dinner and drinks during HH- otherwise, you are getting crap.

  • Lorena M.

    The food was great as always. But Ben the server tried to charge us for every item we picked instead of 2 for 8. He fixed the problem but then proceeded to tell me that it was my job to let him know exactly what I wanted next time so it's less confusing. Last I checked I'm pretty sure that was the servers job. Thanks for fixing it Ben but next time don't make the customer feel responsible for you mistake. Thanks.

    I'm only in PHX 2 years, this Applebee's is just 10 minutes down from the Biltmore where I live. It is always crowded, a bit noisy, if a wait, not too long for a table. The manager, Neill, constantly checks tables to see if everything is ok with the diners. Had 1 issue with the kitchen preparation of the food on a prior visit, Neill had it corrected at once. Wait staff is very attentive even when they have a lot of tables. We had a waiter the other night, Max, who is the best of them all, so is Jeremy. The burgers are great, they have a Monday burger special with fries for $5.99, after 9 pm wings 45 cents each, always cooked to perfection. I have had lunches and dinners here, sandwiches, chicken and beef dishes, all nice portions and very tasty. I did notice with concern a full bar many nights and only 1 bartender. He was keeping up with the rush but they should have 2 on busy nights. I am here at least 2 days a week sometimes more, so that says it.

  • My S.

    I ordered the trio special (artichoke dip, boneless buffalo wings, and sliders) all for $12 bucks. This is MONSTEROUS. Make sure you either are super hungry or are sharing this with someone. I had about 8 wings and two decent size sliders. There were so much tortilla chips for the dip it didn't even look like I made a dent in it. The food is exactly what you expect of Applebee's. I prefer their regular wings (with bones). Service was slow (it was noon). FYI: Make sure you go you bring your own hand wipes. The bathroom is nasty.

    Great food. beer not so cheap unless it's happy hour. I arrived around 2:30PM Wednesday I ordered the jalapeños,BBQ cheese burger with fries. $9.50. the burger is about the size of a Carl's JR $6 burger. But this one taste much better. Freshly cooked juicy hot. the Waiter claims that the burger meat is fresh and never frozen. It took 10 to 15 minutes to receive my burger. That is good because i want a freshly cooked burger, not a microwaved burger. The fries are okay, no wow factor. The fries portion was small in my opinion. They should give just a little more fries and maybe a side like a celery stick. Overall, i would return to this restaurant soon. Maybe during happy hour.

  • CandiAnne S.

    Absolutely horrible. I ordered a white wine spritzer, the server told me I don't think we carry that, I don't know these fancy drink names. I told her what it was and that it's been around forever. My wife ordered a frozen strawberry lemonade and got a regular. When ordering our food she laughed when I specified no poblano peppers or any spice. I ordered a weight watchers meal as I wasn't too terribly starving. When our food came she just assumed that my wife who is larger than I wanted the weight watchers. I was completely appalled. I spoke to the manager at once told her everything and explained we were leaving and I was paying for nothing. Next time I visit Phoenix this will not be where I go.

    We just returned from a Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at 5:10 to beat the crowd and it was already packed. We walked in, we were greeted by Sam. My husband asked for a good seat. Sam found us a great booth. We ordered from the 2 for $20 menu. Our waiter was attentive and pleasant. My husband got ribs that were cold. He sent them back immediately. When Keith brought them back he waited while my husband tasted them. They were warm so he was fine. I got a pasta dish that I can never finish but it was good, as usual. Overall, I was pleased particularly with how busy it was.

    Where to begin...I am first courteously seated by the host (props to the host). Once seated, we then wait for our waiter to arrive. Not knowing who it is yet a person walks by and says, "whatcha you want to drink?". Um...yeah hi, how are you or how about a hey I'm going to be your waiter. Anyways... just thought he was super busy which is ok. Once he's back with our drinks he takes our orders. We both order the same meal, steak and shrimp with broccoli. My girlfriend asked to substitute the broccoli with mushrooms and add grilled onions. I want to add more shrimp to my order. Our meals arrive, mine looked fine but hers had two orders of mashed potatoes, mushrooms and onions. Looked strange at first but whatever we went with it, we were hungry. Here is where it gets interesting. As my girlfriend was eating her mashed potatoes she feels a chewy piece in her mouth. She takes it out and it looks like a piece of toilet paper or some kind of white paper. (We had brown paper napkins only, not a single white napkin or paper on the table.) The bad part is, this was one of her last bites and didn't think of returning the food at that point. So, to not make scene we just inform our waiter about the piece of paper and advice him to let the cooks know to be more careful. He grabs our plates, grins and doesn't say a word....ok. He then comes back and sets the check on the table and again walks away. It gets worse, we notice all of substitutes were charged as well. Did he not understand what a substitute is? We ate it so whatever, we were over it and just wanted to leave. I would rate the food a 5 star for taste minus the paper in my food but 0 stars for service. Hint to the waiter: Next time attempt to act like you care. A simple, Im sorry let me see what I can do, goes a long way. I wasn't expecting a free meal but it would have been nice to least offer another side to make up for the contaminated mashed potatoes. Also, we were really nice about he whole thing, next time you may not get people like us.

    Asked for the gluten-free menu and was told that I the hostesses had them so had to get up and run around to track one down--it was never found and management finally printed out a new menu about 20 minutes later. A terrible smell kept coming back, even despite the efforts of the hostesses and their over-spraying of air freshener throughout the entire space. The air freshener was not a good mix with my food either. The plus, great bartender who kept the drinks coming and made sure to keep tabs on the slow food order.

    I usually looooove this Applebee's. I'm a regular usually here at least twice a month. Tonight though, ughhhhhhhh-nnoying, our server, Alex was so incredibly inattentive. It took very long to have drinks ordered after being sat. Then I didn't get to start my meal for exactly 1 hour and 2 minutes (I timed it). Also, the water glasses tasted awful and due to how we were NEVER given attention to for over 40 minutes, they stayed at our table until we finally said something. To top it off refills were NEVER offered until after our food came.Even when the food came we were never asked the infamous "how is everything, ladies." Thankfully, Neill Courtney (The Manager) came and explained the entire situation and deducted our bill. Absolutely amazing service on his part.

    Strange experience. Staff was friendly, restaurant was moderately clean. However, my wife ordered a hamburger with an egg (can't remember the name). The egg was Sunnyside up. When we asked them to cook it completely we were told they would burn it. I asked why they couldn't cook another egg....the kitchen manager said "no one wants it that way". After much discussion they cooked another egg. My bill was $90 with tip......would've been spent more wisely somewhere else. I won't be back.

    The entrees are not that great. I have ordered a steak and pasta here before and they're nothing special. I would say that their best items are the appetizer items. I love the sampler,especially! It has yummy spinach and artichoke dip, spicy boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, carrots and celery, and quesadillas. You might as well just order this as your meal. Staff is nice.

    Horrible service Food was disgusting. I ordered a cheeseburger I get to the last bite and realize that there was bacon on my burger. There was not enough people on the floor to help the server out.

    My sister and I were killing time waiting for the dogs to get groomed, so we came here for lunch. The food was what you expect. We got the sampler with like 5 different things, great to snack on and catch up! Tons of food! However, this 5 star review is all because of our server, Thomas. He was so sweet and so attentive. It is so rare to encounter someone who you can tell actually enjoys their job! Keep up the good work, Thomas!

    Bumping this up to 5 stars. As I have stated before, they have really good appetizers... the wings and the mozzarella sticks are my favorite. For Dinner there is a really good 4 cheese mac and cheese with honey pepper tenders... get them! They are amazing! Both the mac n cheese which has some bacon in it, and the chicken tenders (OMG so good) are great choices. If you're thinking you want a less caloric meal, go for the lemon Parmesan shrimp on the 550 or less menu. It is really good, and I always get a side of the stuffed mushroom for less than $2 extra. So good. Service is usually always great, and I haven't had a meal I didn't like here.

    I had such a great time out of the three times Ive been there, oh yea this was a first! And actually the servers in the past have been very rude and normally they all judge you before they even arrive to the table to ask for drinks! I server tables as well and I know that if I don't give a great customer experience a couple of thing could happen they won't come back, they won't tip accordingly and they would just tell others how much the service sucked! Now our new server Amy she's a beast I give her 5 stars the only reason why I'm not giving a full five stars to Applebee's yelp is just because Applebee's will need to prove to me that they value customers! I'll be back but only if Amy can serve me! FYI stake was good!

    We have been to this location a few times with varying levels of success. None have ever been great. We actually hadn't been there for about a year when we decided to give it another shot a few nights ago. We walked in about 8:30pm and it wasn't busy. Stood around for at least 5 minutes before we were seated. Once seated we waited 8 to 10 minutes for our waitress to even come over. We placed our order and when the waitress brought our food she just set it down and quickly walked away. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal except one of our meals was the total wrong thing. She was no where to be seen for several minutes. In the time we were waiting I took a bite of my steak and spit it back out. It tasted bad. It was gray looking inside and had a funny taste. So the waitress finally comes back and we tell her one of the orders was wrong and grabs a menu and procedes to debate what we ordered. She just wrote down the wrong thing. We ended up not eating. Our meal was ruined. This is the worst Applebee's ever.

    I came in with my wife and two children on my birthday, June 26th. The hostess sat a party that came in after us, and would have Sat another if my wife hadn't spoken up. We waiting almost 15 minutes for our drinks, and almost 45 minutes for our food. All we ordered were fryer items and a medium rare steak. When the steak came it was only a few degrees away from being well done, hardly any pink at all and the baked potato was cold. All the other food was great! I brought the issues up to the manager and he was so kind and professional. He cut our bill almost in half. I was pleased with his attention and caring for customers. Thank you!

    I went there on Friday night late - bartender was super nice. He said he was new and from outta town. Usually I'm not a fan of corporations but this bartender was really cool. I've been here a couple times and the food isn't good and the draft beer is almost always flat.

  • T.Mosa M.

    This place is always popping . But seriously why is there always just 1 bartender even in the weekends. I don't like waiting 30 minutes for my drink and I have to order my second drink as I am half way through the my current drink.

  • Matthew G.

    Let's just sum it up quickly. Wait was terrible on a late Thursday night. Finally seated, 15 mins before they took our order. Food came out, cold and or overcooked. Only good thing was our waiter, he was doing his best. Will not be returning with all the late night choices down Central.

    On a Thursday it took 15 min after being seated for us to get our drink orders. The waiter couldn't have been any more socially awkward. Also we got the Spinach Artichoke dip and the chips were SOAKED in what I'm assuming was grease.

  • Chelsea W.

    This is the WORST Applebees ever! My boyfriend and I came for the soup and salad lunch special. The waitress seemed to be someplace else the entire time. When I ordered my first salad and soup I asked that no bread be put in my French onion soup. When it came not only did it have bread it had a french fry in it. I sent the soup back and asked for the breadsticks that accompany and the waitress brought back the soup and no breadsticks. Long story short we had to ask 3 additional times for breadsticks and when they finally came they were greasy as hell. Besides the piss poor service the dishes were dirty. The only thing that was consistent was the waitress apologizing to the other patrons for the multiple screw ups. Never again, it makes no sense to have such horrible customer service and expect to be tipped.

    Like I get it.. It's Applebee's and I shouldn't expect a lot but our food was awfulllll. The 13 dollar salmon portion was less than half the size of the picture and all of the vegetables that came with it were obviously frozen with no flavor and a gross feeling in your mouth :/ I would only go here for a cheap drink!! (They aren't strong though so.. Maybe I won't be back)

  • CandiAnne S.

    Absolutely horrible. I ordered a white wine spritzer, the server told me I don't think we carry that, I don't know these fancy drink names. I told her what it was and that it's been around forever. My wife ordered a frozen strawberry lemonade and got a regular. When ordering our food she laughed when I specified no poblano peppers or any spice. I ordered a weight watchers meal as I wasn't too terribly starving. When our food came she just assumed that my wife who is larger than I wanted the weight watchers. I was completely appalled. I spoke to the manager at once told her everything and explained we were leaving and I was paying for nothing. Next time I visit Phoenix this will not be where I go.

    We just returned from a Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at 5:10 to beat the crowd and it was already packed. We walked in, we were greeted by Sam. My husband asked for a good seat. Sam found us a great booth. We ordered from the 2 for $20 menu. Our waiter was attentive and pleasant. My husband got ribs that were cold. He sent them back immediately. When Keith brought them back he waited while my husband tasted them. They were warm so he was fine. I got a pasta dish that I can never finish but it was good, as usual. Overall, I was pleased particularly with how busy it was.

    Applebees is a decent place to get a hot meal. They've been remodeling a lot of their locations it seems, and this one has a nice feel to it. I think overall they have fair prices and a good selection. I wish they wouldn't have changed their menu so much. They took away my all time favorite dessert, the maple butter blondie. Sad day. But they've added some good stuff (shrimp and parmesan steak is not bad at all!) Applebees is a good deal, nice staff, okay design, nothing extraordinary, but does the job. I'll be back.

  • Lorena M.

    The food was great as always. But Ben the server tried to charge us for every item we picked instead of 2 for 8. He fixed the problem but then proceeded to tell me that it was my job to let him know exactly what I wanted next time so it's less confusing. Last I checked I'm pretty sure that was the servers job. Thanks for fixing it Ben but next time don't make the customer feel responsible for you mistake. Thanks.

    I'm only in PHX 2 years, this Applebee's is just 10 minutes down from the Biltmore where I live. It is always crowded, a bit noisy, if a wait, not too long for a table. The manager, Neill, constantly checks tables to see if everything is ok with the diners. Had 1 issue with the kitchen preparation of the food on a prior visit, Neill had it corrected at once. Wait staff is very attentive even when they have a lot of tables. We had a waiter the other night, Max, who is the best of them all, so is Jeremy. The burgers are great, they have a Monday burger special with fries for $5.99, after 9 pm wings 45 cents each, always cooked to perfection. I have had lunches and dinners here, sandwiches, chicken and beef dishes, all nice portions and very tasty. I did notice with concern a full bar many nights and only 1 bartender. He was keeping up with the rush but they should have 2 on busy nights. I am here at least 2 days a week sometimes more, so that says it.

  • Antonio D.

    On July 2nd, 2015, we visited this Applebee's. When we walked in we were greated by the hostess & told us to have a seat while she got a table ready. When we were seated at our table, it was still wet from being cleaned & the menus were sticking to the table. We had to wait 10 minutes for our server, Marc S. to come greet us and take our drink order. He then took a long time to bring us our drinks & when he brought our drinks, he didn't bring my beer. We didn't get any napkins or silverware when we were seated or when we finally got our drinks. Marc finally brought my beer & took our order. When he brought us our food, we still didn't have any napkins or silverware. He brought us 2 napkins & 3 forks. He never came back to check up on us. We finished our drinks, and we wanted refills were wanted & I wanted another beer. We sat at our table with no drinks trying to eat our food for at least 20 mins. That is unacceptable. I had to ask the hostess to have Marc come back. He finally came over and we ordered refills. Throughout our experience there & with Marc, he wasn't personable at all & not a pleasant interaction with him. I though Applebee's was supposed to be an upbeat fun place to go with our family & friends for a bite to eat, get some drinks & enjoy our experience. This was my worst experience ever at this Applebee's & any other Applebee's for that matter. Not planning on going there again anytime soon. Very disappointing & a terrible experience.

    The food is good but the service is awfull. Seems like they're always shortstaff. I've been there 3 times and everytime we have an issue with the service. You place your order with the waiter/waitress and just takes to getyour food. Last time i waited 45 minutes and we decided to leave because the waitress came back and told us that for some reason the order was not put in the system. Not coming back to this particular Applebees.

  • Lizabeth T.

    Food tastes good, great drinks, unfortunately they forgot a third of our order as it never came out but we were charged for it. No biggie, stuffed anyway and the missing item was quickly taken off the bill. The bartenders on 1-9-15 were attentive and great given how busy it was. Will definitely go back.

  • Rachel L.

    Cheap for a steak, good service, and the drinks were alright and cheap on happy hour prices. My 2 year old was happy with the crayons and paper provided and there were other kids around too. Not bad for a chain restaurant on a week night.

  • Melanie M.

    These type of chain places are noy my jam- It was OK- they do have some pretty awesome Happy Hour Specials on drinks and food- that being said, i would come back, but only for those deals and only with girlfriends for dinner and drinks during HH- otherwise, you are getting crap.

  • Amber A.

    If I were reviewing this on service alone, I would give 5 stars to our waiter. He was overworked and had a very slow kitchen to deal with. Yes, we were a party of 8 and another party of 8 was seated just before us. You are a chain. Isn't your kitchen prepared for big parties? Our waiter was very patient and fantastic. We had 4 hungry and tired kids. It seemed like the food took forever to come out to the table. I don't think we were complicated just had a lot of people. Applebees please staff your restaurant appropriately, so our poor waiter can have the help he deserves.

    I never thought I would rate a chain so highly but their burgers are absolutely delicious! I got the Standard, stuffed with bacon, pickle and onions cooked 'pink' (not rare or well-done; just right). Super juicy on a perfectly toasted bun. I would have ate 2 if my stomach had room. Fries were good and french onion soup is above average. I would give 5 stars but they were short staffed and drink refills were hard to come by and they forgot our soup so it came with the meal instead of before which we made sure to request to avoid that. Despite that small inconvenience, the burgers made up for it. Staff was very nice despite being stretched too thin. Get the burger!

  • Wanda W.

    FILTHY! I ordered the 9oz house sirloin via Delicious Deliveries. The delivery was very late (not Applebees fault) and I wish we hadn't ordered from there even before I tasted my food. The serving portion was small considering the amount of money I'd paid. The mashed potatoes were filthy and the steak was like rubber, if it even was steak. I've had better steak from Swanson's frozen dinners! I asked for well done, not rubberized! I've never had such filthy food via delivery before. If I had been in the restaurant I would've sent it back, no doubt! Add insult to injury they didn't even include my side of veggies. So I feel completely ripped off and the food was nasty to top it off. I won't be going back here again! Worst experience!

    I haven't been to an Applebee's in years and years. Seriously, I usually eat locally. But I was in Phoenix with a friend and honestly didn't have the time or inclination to go to a local Phoenix establishment, especially when I was starving and ready to head back to Tucson. So, Applebee's it was. And it was great! For two people the bill was about $36 and this include two meals for about $12 year, including my big bowl of spicy shrimp pasta. It came with some bread, and a big plate of onion rings and a delicious sauce- tasted like Jack Daniel's sauce. We finished it off with the little .99 cent brownie bites with ice cream- since I could barely move and was so full with delicious goodness it was a perfect size to finish off with. Service was outstanding, ice tea refilled on a constant basis. Very very good!

    Went with a group of 9 (one of them our 2 yr old) here and it was a Friday night so we understood a wait was going to happen so we gave our name and went to wait, they told us a 40 min. wait time, well 30 min. in we heard them call my friends name, went inside and they said no sorry they didn't have enough seats for 9 only 6 so never mind, went outside to wait again and after another 15 minutes my friend went in to ask if our table was ready yet, they said it would have to be another 40 minutes because when they had called our name the first time they crossed our group off!!! Needless to say we told them they were the dumbest lousy people in the world and left to eat at Zipp's on Bethany Home near 15th street, we had a great time and great food there instead!

    Ok, now do not judge. Normally we do not going to chain restaurants, but we decided to try out the wings at Applebee's. They have there wings for $.25 per wing after 11pm everyday. So, the wings were not all that bad for the price. We ordered them hot and they came out a little spicy. Also when you order the wings you have to buy 10 to get them at $.25 per wing. Since we were at Applebee's the server was really good he did a great job taking care of us. If you decided to go to Applebee's for a late night snack. You should try out the wings.

    Waited and waited for a table at lunch time. Two parties (each with two in the party) came in after us (we were also two) and both of them were seated before us - one pair was even seated at a table in the area we requested. We left and I will never return. The food isn't worth that kind of treatment.

    Went there for lunch today, sat at a high top table by the bar. Host was not very personable, but we gave it a chance. Wrong idea. We waited 15 min, not even a greet or anything. We seen all sorts of servers walk by our table, ignoring us. After waiting, we got up and left. All the host said was "leaving already?" Really?! He said it in a tone as if he wanted to know if the table was now 'available'. Will never I back. I am not the biggest fan of Applebee's, and this just sealed the deal. Get it together people.

    I can't believe the the Bourbon Hamburger can not be ordered without mushrooms, unless of course you also leave off the onions and peppers. as I despise mushrooms, I did just that and ended up with a rather dry and tasteless hamburger. I was very disappointed to say the least.

    Came here for a birthday party with about 13 of us from the office. Food was good and the price was right. I had the lunch combo with the 4 cheese Mac & cheese with bacon and honey pepper chicken and the California shrimp salad. Both were tasty. The best part though was the $.99 brownie bite with a tiny scoop of ice cream for dessert. Just the perfect size! Service was good especially considering how big our party was.

    My family and I have visited this location on numerous occasions and we have had great service. Unfortunately tonight's visit was far from superb as we are used to. We walked in and requested a BOOTH for 5, we told there was another group ahead of us and it would be 10- 15 minutes. When our table was finally ready for us 15 minutes later, it was not a booth. I told her specifically ,"I requested a booth not a table with chairs." She responded with, " I was not aware of that request." So I told her, "I refuse this table since I requested a booth." She again responds, " you didnt say anything of that sort when you walked in." At this point my fiance chimes in with, "Actually, he said a booth for 5 please?" The hostess then tells us,"This table is all we have for you at this time and to wait for a booth will be another 30 minutes." I told her, "Fine then we will will wait." She got an attitude and began gathering all the napkins and flat ware that she just laid out at the table along with the menus. At this point I was furious, more so because I was getting the attitude from someone who obviously had no concern for my request and then got upset when I corrected her. I was so mad that I was ready to leave and go elsewhere and when I expressed that to her. She retorted "Fine, go somewhere else and eat I don't care!" After hearing her say that I asked to speak to the manager, she completely ignored me and walked away. Another employee gladly got the attention of the manager for me and when I expressed my disbelief and how I felt so disrespected to him. All I was told is, "I will talk to her about this this." I'm sorry but when people come into your establishment and no matter what the situation is, automatically spend $60 or more on food and drinks you should do everything in your power to make them feel at ease. We finally got our booth in a matter of minutes after talking to the manager. To put the icing on the cake, I noticed after that anyone requesting a booth after we were seated got one right away. This had me heated, then my fiance told me," You made a complaint, so now she is gonna do everything to make sure she doesn't get another one tonight." To say the least I hope the young lady has a much better night. Our server EMO was great, he was very attentive and got everything correct! He turned my experience around for such an awful beginning.

    It's not like I ever think to myself, Applebees sounds good. But I live in the area and they are open late, so I've been to this location for dinner 3-4 times in the past year. I can't say many good things about the food. The BLT is horrible. The bacon cheeseburger is merely okay. Could have been better except the meat was really well done. Last time I went, I ordered a chicken+mushroom+zucchini with red potatoes entree, and they brought out shrimp over white rice. Although they were apologetic and did get the correct order out about 10 minutes later. I've only ordered alcohol here once. It was during happy hour and I got a huge margarita. I easily finished it but didn't even get a tiny buzz. They must really water down the drinks. This seems like more of a place to go and hang out and have a few drinks and maybe get an appetizer to share. It's not a destination restaurant for me. I've had better food at Denny's.

    I ordered the trio special (artichoke dip, boneless buffalo wings, and sliders) all for $12 bucks. This is MONSTEROUS. Make sure you either are super hungry or are sharing this with someone. I had about 8 wings and two decent size sliders. There were so much tortilla chips for the dip it didn't even look like I made a dent in it. The food is exactly what you expect of Applebee's. I prefer their regular wings (with bones). Service was slow (it was noon). FYI: Make sure you go you bring your own hand wipes. The bathroom is nasty.

    Great food. beer not so cheap unless it's happy hour. I arrived around 2:30PM Wednesday I ordered the jalapeños,BBQ cheese burger with fries. $9.50. the burger is about the size of a Carl's JR $6 burger. But this one taste much better. Freshly cooked juicy hot. the Waiter claims that the burger meat is fresh and never frozen. It took 10 to 15 minutes to receive my burger. That is good because i want a freshly cooked burger, not a microwaved burger. The fries are okay, no wow factor. The fries portion was small in my opinion. They should give just a little more fries and maybe a side like a celery stick. Overall, i would return to this restaurant soon. Maybe during happy hour.

  • Suzie S.

    Service was fabulous, professional, courteous w a smile, and beyond expectation for a casual chain restaurant. I was impressed w my server, Stephanie, and especially w another one I observed (Chanel). Chanel was extremely patient w a special needs gentleman. She brought each of the dressings to taste. She pointed to each one describing and writing what they were. She was consistently taking her time with him with his many questions and listening intently to his speech impediment to understand his needs. She even kept him updated on his spending to keep within his spending budget and; yet, she still was able to take care of her other tables at the same time without slacking. Wow! I ordered the unlimited soups & salads between 11-3 for $6.99 & my mom ordered the baby back ribs (nice smoky flavor she commented). The grilled shrimp & spinach salad was very tasty served w hot (actually served nice & perfectly warm) bacon vinaigrette and Steph made sure I was perfectly satisfied and full w refills of the great salad & soup of the day (broccoli & cheese). Once again, pleasantly surprised with the quality & price for a casual dining experience. Thank you Steph, Chanel, and the hostess Yvonne.

    When it's late and everyone else has closed on a weekday, it's either a trip to Delux or a trip to here. When my wallet is weeping, this is the place to go. Their remodel is great and not so cluttered anymore, the place is always packed because the happy hour beer is cheap, service is able to keep up, and so far I haven't had any major qualms. Everything has been quite a good experience and the food is what you would expect from Applebee's. Not extravagant, but not absolutely horrible. Their sirloin choices are perfect for when I want to keep the calories as low as I can at an Applebee's (I really should be going to Sweet Tomatoes next door, but I lack self-control) and they give generous portions for everything.

    Went for late lunch with my aunt & cousin after my aunt had a procedure done on her heart at Good Samaritan Hospital. My salad wad good & my aunt's lunch was okay but my cousins was cold and she had to have the fries remade because they were cold. Sorry but don't remember the waiters name but he acted put out when we asked him for anything. Don't care to go back to this location but will go to the one in our area.

    So, I ate there on Wednesday and it is now Friday. I have not had solid food or been able to keep anything down since I went there. In an area that has so many great places don't go there. Keep driving east on Camelback and hit one of the many other restaurants on that street.

  • Nomadic T.

    Decent for an Applebees. Bartender was a somewhat overly flamboyant gay dude but he was ok. He seemed to stir up bar drama with the wait staff. Other patrons seemed to enjoy his drinks so whatever. It's applebees so the microwaved food is pretty predictable so stick with what you know. Patrons ran the entire spectrum to include an 85 year old white guy regular sitting at the bar gumming down a dry ass steak. This placed lived up to it's neighbood bar identity as I sat next to the aforementioned geezer, some young mexican dude drinking coors light like water, a 30 something black female with a bad wig and petulant stare and the two slightly past their primes but sort of holding it together white women. It's America baby, good times.

    My first time going to Apple bees I was impressed with the setting and the food. It became my favorite restaurants afterwards. I especially love the Trio Appetizer. It's a great meal and at a good price. Their wings are the best. Their fries are excellent. The service there is pretty good and most of them are friendly. I like Applebee because of their food, service, and a great place to hang out and eat.

    Love the remodel ! So glad they fixed things . . .Even the staff got better...YAY! SO - I went to meet a friend for some drinks and was so pleasantly surprised by the remodel. The bartender was freindly and attentive. I ordered some chicken taco things and they were really good, just as she said they would be. I'm still not too excited about the restrooms, need some fixin, so you only get three stars, restrooms for women are important - we gotta sit down! as far as cost, well, Charles H. I expect to pay when I go out, be it happy hour or whatever, you cant put a price on good service!

    Every time I go to the gay Applebees I poop funny afterward. I've only gone here for happy hour for the $2 tall domestic beers and the half price apps. I hadn't been in almost a year and sat down at the bar on a busy night and the bartender said "hey man I haven't seen you in like a year." I thought that was pretty fucking cool seeing as I hadn't been more than 2-3 times ever. The food is exactly what you would expect from an Applebees. It's trailer trash "fancy night out" food and great food for unsophisticated people. I am also amazed this location seems to be open till 1am on the weekends... probably because it is the gay applebee's. Thanks.

    You get what you pay for at Applebee's (ok, actually you get less than what you pay for) But I mean seriously, it's Applebee's. If you go in there with no expectations and ignore the fact that their kitchen is probably just freezers and microwaves then you will be fine. (and if I was basing stars on that alone I would have given it just 2, 'cause I mean...its Applebee's.. However, the beer was cheap and the staff was nice, so it gets brownie points) I try not to go to places like these, because frankly I think if you are on that much of a budget you should either A.) Go to the grocery store and cook at home or B.) Go to a local place where you can get a better deal and real food. However, on this evening I was walking from the light rail with a friend after leaving the DBacks game, and said friend was exceptionally hungry and not in the mood to walk far.. So we went in. I was however pleasantly surprised that their happy hour started at 9, which made me feel much better about spending money there. The beer was a good size, either bigger than a pint or in a deceptively charming glass that makes it look bigger than a pint. While there wasn't a lot of decent beer choices, they were cheap. We got a couple of HH apps. and they were as expected, bleh. But it was food and that was the whole point at that time.. The ranch was sweet... I Hate sweet ranch...gross. The high point here was the host, he was very pleasant and efficient. Staff over all was nice really, and the beer was cheap early on, so it served its purpose.

    One of the only reasons i go to applebee's is cause it is so close to my work and threes not much but fast food around me, but every time i go there I feel the service is not that great the food always takes so long. I got a soup and salad lunchtime deal and it took like 15min which i know is not that long but for salad and soup?? They are never that busy but again the service is slow, I for the most part should not have to flag down a waiter to get a refill. I will start packing my lunch from now on :/

    I will give this Applebees location a 5 star and here's why. I used to work here and know the cooks and staff. I have inside information on how this location does things in relationship to other locations I had filled in at. This location has better cooks and better management than some of the other locations. It shows in the food. Very seldom do I eat at this location and get a bad meal. Best nights to go Friday or Saturday after 4pm. The best cooks are working then, these guys have been at this location for over 8 years and they know what they are doing.

    My first time ever eating at an Applebee's establishment was last Monday. Apparently the have happy hour here from 9-until close. We arrived around 9:30 so our margaritas were only 3 bucks. We also ordered off of the 550 calorie & under menu which consisted on us getting a steak or chicken variation. The food as well as the service was very good. I bought drinks for myself & a friend plus my food brought our bill to only $27. All in all a pretty nice experience for a casual restaurant.

    I totally love going to Applebees! Especially on Tuesday's! Karaoke!! Although, this particular Applebees kinda sucks on Karaoke Tuesday's because the d.j.'s aren't as entertaining as other d.j.'s at other Applebees. I was sad about that! But the host's are so damn nice, and cheerful! I just wanted to kiss them all! Oh, and the dinner is good as well.

    I live across the street from this Applebee's, and I've been going there for years. terrific service almost every time -- sometimes I've even called the manager over to COMPLIMENT the server. The decor is kinda casual laidback sports bar. It's a neighborhood chain folks: Don't go there expecting the it to be like the Ritz or the Biltmore. A steak dinner here only costs $10-$12 bucks. And for that price, it's surprisingly good!!! I want my steak medium-rare (on the rare side), and that's how they serve 'em to me. On the rare occasion that I'm dissatisfied, I ask 'em to "repair the damage" and they do it immediately - and with an apology and a friendly smile. The first time I at here I really liked it, and I told my 'rents. They wouldn't even try it. Took me weeks to convince them to walk in the door. Then, they decided to eat at this Applebee's 3 - 5 nights a week! And, sometimes they did eat at the Ritz, so they knew the diff. As far as I'm concerned, for a neighborhood chain restaurant, Applebee's is just fine, thank you very much!

    The quality of the food was excellent, the server was very on top of it with getting our drinks and order. It was loud, but that made the atmosphere fun to me. The only down side was the wait to get in was at least 20 minutes to a half hour, but maybe it's to be expected on a weekend night.

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.
