Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Good environment and service. Food isn't great. Steak and chicken are not tender. The meats seem frozen or just poorly cooked. Bar has a good selection of drinks. Long islands are perfect!

This is a pretty good Applebee's location. I think the food is consistently decent, and they have good prices. I always find myself stumbling upon a free appetizer coupon, which is awesome. People are always generally friendly and it looks pretty clean.

Standard Applebee's fair... Nothing more or less. I typically support independent restaurants. I guess people like chains because they consistent.

Even though my friend and I came in an hour before they closed, they were nothing short of polite. I had the chicken quesadilla and the Sutter Home Cabernet while my friend had the Riblet Basket and Chardonnay. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us the late night price for the quesadilla we got to take out (normally they don't do that). Not a bad place to grab a late night snack.

We go to Applebee's on occasion and we always have a good time, great service and delicious food. Tonight was no exception. I believe our waiter was Robbie, he was very friendly and accommodating, checked up on us several times, even took care of a special request very quickly and without any issues. Even the manager had stopped by our table to ask how things were and he got us a to-go box, which just makes me think highly of him as a manager because he took it upon himself to do that, not just wait for our waiter to come (not that we were waiting long or anything, we had just finished.) I ordered a Red Apple Sangria, which I love. I enjoy Sangria's from other places, but I found Applebee's makes them the best, for my preference, anyway. I ordered the pretzels and beer cheese dip as an app and they were delish. It also came with honey mustard which was also very good. We got brave and tried them together (beer cheese AND honey mustard) and believe it or not, they were very good together too. I also ordered the Cedar Grilled Lemon Chicken and it was amazing! Strongly recommend. My husband got the Three Cheese Chicken Penne and that was very good too (we tasted each other's meals), but I liked my Lemon chicken better. We also got the little $1.50 dessert of small brownie and small scoop of ice cream. Neither of us were wanting a full dessert, but wanted that final sweet something to finish the meal. I always enjoy Applebee's. The employees always seem friendly and accommodating, the food's always good and service is quick. Can't wait to go again!

I keep trying to give them another chance and they always disappoint me once again. I've NEVER gotten good service here. Have walked out after not even getting our drink order after sitting for 15 minutes. And this has happened twice.

We chose the Car side to go and we ordered online. (Super convenient) I sat in the parking lot maybe 10 minutes before someone came out. Which isn't very long in my opinion. My only complaint is that my BLT was waaaaaaaay too salty. I couldn't even finish it. But the French fries were good. My mom said that the onion rings were awesome. So that's a plus. I will still come here, I'll just order something else.

It's your typical Applebees, so nothing to rave about, but the food is decent. With our party of 4 though, my sandwich didn't come out until nearly everyone else was finished eating...good thing I was able to munch on others french fries though.

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.
