What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Applebee's for its friendly service, generous portions, and clean atmosphere, with many highlighting specific servers like Alyssa as a standout. While the food is generally enjoyed, some reviews mention inconsistencies, such as steaks being overcooked, and the noise level can be high, making conversation difficult. The addition of ordering tablets has also led some to feel service has become more self-directed.
"We were in the area and decided to get dinner here. There was a wait, but it went quickly. We were seated and the server came pretty quickly for our drink and app order. Our appetizer came pretty quickly, as did my soup. Our entrees arrived with good timing. We had the sampler and I had the French onion soup. All delicious. Our entrees were all enjoyed. I only took pics of the appetizer and soup. I had a friend with me who doesn't realize I do reviews. So, I didn't want to keep taking photos."

"We came there for my grandson‘s birthday and there is about 11 of us. I ordered a hamburger but it wasn’t the right burger I ordered. I was going to eat it anyway cause I didn’t feel like waiting. The manager came over. Her name is Alyssa and went and cooked me a new burger And was so very nice to our table. I can’t thank her enough! She knew I was unhappy with the burger by our waitress. That’s what you call a very good manager. I was very impressed by her."

"Had a gift card to use from our resort stay. The service was really good. Food was good but not great. Our steaks were way overcooked. When they delivered the food to our table it was the store manager which we thought was strange. She immediately asked if our steaks looked cooked to our liking and asked if we would try them . I had ordered my medium and it was grey through and through. However, I'm guessing she anticipated that and was more than happy to replace it. Second steak was a little pink but still tough. Server and Manager were great but probably won't return."
