★★★☆☆ 3.0 Judith · Dec 2025

We ordered 2 for $25. We upgraded to sirloin steaks. The sirloin steak was a little tough. The steamed seasoned broccoli was salty and too soft (overcooked) . The buffalo wings were way too salty. Do better Applebees

Extremely disappointed in Applebees right now. My husband picked up a To go order last night and this is what I received. We ordered the 2 for $25 and I got the chicken Parmesan fettuccine Alfredo. I was struggling to cut the chicken with the knife because it was so hard and I decided to open up the chicken and find this. This cutlet was absolutely not fresh and was probably sitting there all day maybe even longer than all day and they probably microwaved it before sending it off with my husband. So glad I didn’t eat this because I would have probably got sick. DO BETTER APPLEBEES!

Stopped in last week for a quick drink while waiting for the rest of our party. It was mid day on a monday. Very clean and extremely friendly. I wish I would have caught their names but the bartender there was very attentive and inviting. As well as the manager on duty. Very friendly and had great sense of humor. This is out of our location but would really consider coming back!

Let me just say this has got to be the BEST service I have ever experienced at this apple bees location! My server Dylan from the start was attentive, had great recommendations as far as the substitutes we requested, brought everything out very quickly, and most importantly just had the best personality & energy which I needed from him after a long day of work. We will absolutely come back just for him to serve us! Keep being nothing short of amazing DYLAN!

★★★★★ 5.0 Martha Aguilar · Jan 2026

We had a great dining experience thanks to our waitress, Kellie. She greeted us warmly, explained the menu clearly, and checked on us at just the right times. She made sure that our kiddos food came out first since they were starving. Her positive attitude and professionalism truly stood out. We’ll definitely be back…
