We arrived at this location and made a reservation around 8:30. After about a quick minute we got a message saying our table was ready. We went inside to check in but workers said our table wasn’t ready yet because it was still being “cleaned”. Although there was several tables available it took 30 minutes for us to be seated. We sat there for nearly 30 minutes with not even our drink orders taken. Then a party of 9+ came in and got their drinks taken as soon as they sat down. They even ordered their meals while my family and I just sat there waiting. Waitress just stood there having a chat knowing well we haven’t been served. Service was just extremely upsetting and ruined everyone’s appetite. This should be taken care of as soon as possible. This place has lost a loyal family.

The bartender took our order. She was very personable and I could tell she was very good at her job. My dad and I got the $25 meal deal. We both had the riblets with fries and the mozzarella sticks for the appetizer. The riblets were cooked perfect and were very tender the fries were not hot but they were still good. I want to think that bartender for being kind. We basically closed down Applebee's with her and she was patient and did not try to rush us out. The only thing she forgot was to charge me for my drink which I let her know that she needed to add it on. Plus if I hadn't I wouldn't have been able to get my one free movie ticket. The place was clean didn't use the bathroom so I can't tell you about that.

We visited this Applebee’s two weeks ago and we’re very pleased with the experience, so much so, I felt I needed to share. We don’t come to these chain restaurants often, but we had a large group (8 kids, ranging from 12-18 yo) and 4 adults. Following the final night of a school play, this is where the kids wanted to celebrate. The service was fantastic! We had the kids sit at one table and adults at an adjacent table, the staff eagerly accommodated this request. The menu options were great, the price was reasonable and the food quality was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised with the entire experience.The next day I realized I’d left my purse hanging on the chair at Applebee’s and expected the worst. Lo and behold, they had my bag and were holding it for me! I retrieved it the next day and was so grateful to the staff for keeping it safe.Great job to the entire team, especially the manager (I assume) who checked in on is a few times and made sure we were in good hands— he was friendly, helpful and funny. I should have reviewed them right away, but life got in the way. We will be back!

I ordered the rib eye medium and when I got my meal it was well done. It took a while to get our waitress to come by to show her. I ate some of the potatoes and broccoli. I wasn't trying to get a free meal, I just wanted a new steak. Not only was the rib eye perfect they gave it to me for free. I don't like to complain but I am glad I did cuz I so enjoyed my rib eye.

Manager Paul is amazing. Food is always good and the vibe is so chill.

Very busy, long waits and small servings. The food did taste good. My boyfriend ordered ribs, and they tasted great, but had no meat on them. I ordered bourbon street chicken and it tasted great, but very small portions compared to other restaurants with similar prices. Probably won't be going back anytime soon.

It was clean... but my mom ordered the fish and chips didn't eat it all so we took it home. She heated it up later that evening and we got the frozen fish taste... ended up throwing it away.

I would say the food is slightly above average, but their menu is a weird puzzle of dishes from right and left field.I guess if your looking to watch a game with friends with a mish mash of food selections and not break the bank, it's the place to be.But like I said the food isn't unique or something to brag about, but it's still a good place to go for good service and decent food. I'm an occasional customer, gotta mix up the restaurants to keep it fresh.

Not good service, when we arrived they said 25 min. After a half hour we asked how much longer! They said they only had 1 waitress working! This is 5:00 pm on a Saturday night! They had 4 hostesses 3 bus people. We tried to talk to the host & manager but they I avoid us! But all the people sitting at the bar was being served by 2 bartenders and helpers. After an hour of waiting we left without being served.

Please work on making door dash orders go out quicker. I try to make $ on the side with door dash but waiting 20 minutes for an order starts to hurt my bottom line, and I am sure cold orders delivered to the customer must hurt your business too.
