Applebee's Grill + Bar

This Applebee's changed our mind about this franchise. The staff here is very friendly and the cheese burger with fries and a drink(our favorite discounted menu item) comes out perfect every time! To be honest we have tried a few other Applebee's since coming here but they pale in comparison. Keep up the great work Manahawkin Applebee's!! Make sure you ask for the frequent flyer card for free food after so many meals.

Beth is hands-down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. From the moment she greeted our table, her energy, professionalism, and genuine personality stood out. She was attentive without ever being overbearing, and she anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. My order was perfect, the timing was smooth, and she checked in just enough to make sure everything stayed on point. On top of that, she was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience feel effortless. Beth is truly an asset to the restaurant, and you can tell she takes pride in her work. I’ll absolutely be returning, and will be asking for Beth every time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Beth

It's always a fun spot to get a bite and drinks after a long day of shopping on 72. Food and service are always very good and pleasant, the restaurant is always clean as well! I was craving a nice burger and fries, and they did not disappoint. The burger was cooked perfectly and served hot!

Been going to the Manahawkin restaurant for a long time. Love the atmosphere and the staff. But the last 4 times now the food has been way off. Usually get the “two for” menu and the sirloin has been very tough and or rubbery. Decided to try the bourbon burger asked for how it to be cooked and it came out burnt and asked to have it redone but then came out raw. Last night decided to try the strawberry and chicken balsamic salad. I had looked it up online to see what it would look like, it looked good in the picture and ordered it. When it came out it had ONLY one strawberry cut on it. Virtually no onions, and or the dressing was almost nonexistent. The chicken was burnt and the lettuce was not even cut into pieces. Had to ask the waitress for more dressing. Waitress was wonderful. Either A

I revisited after getting terrible food during Covid, I swore off the place. But they were so generous to Veterans, free meal, great decorations. I am an admirer again. Steak seasoned well, juicy burger, so-so riblets (I miss the old version which had more meat)
