Apple Annie's Restaurant has been an institution in Tulare for as long as I have been alive! I love the ambiance and decor of the restaurant as well as the lobby waiting area. It still has the dinner look that I miss in a lot of the restaurants that are no longer here. The food is delicious and the serving size, for the price is lackluster compared to other restaurants nearby. I have to admit that I forget about this place when thinking about a restaurant to have dinner at. I pass by it several times a week and I think it has a lot to do with the Covid restrictions and I think they were only open for breakfast and lunch. The service is pretty good and they are friendly. I'm a loyal customer to places that treat me and my family well...this place does all of that, I'm just not one to complain about stuff, but I don't want my lack of making Apple Annie's a regular destination because they definitely deserve your patronage if you love breakfast and their pies are absolutely delicious. I'm going to do better and try to get out to Appple Annie's Restaurant more often because I believe in supporting our local businesses. I gave it 4 stars because the service is a little slow, lack attentiveness, but I managed in the restaurant business for a long time and I totally understand staffing issues and training can be better in my opinion. No matter what though, they are friendly, they will eventually get your plate together and to you and if you wear something colorful maybe they will remember that you are there, parched from waiting on a refill...if only we were in on the conversation between the waitresses and the cook, maybe we were witnessing love sparking. read more

If you want a diner experience then come to Apple Annie's. You won't regret it if you want good food and wonderful customer service. Plus the place is decorated with antiques for all ages. They have a fun chu-chu train that goes around the restaurant. So fun for the kids. I ordered Annie's Fried Chicken. I like roscoes chicken and waffles and this was much better. Homemade. The batter is fresh with a hint of honey. The meat is tender. Served with my choice of bake potato, corn, garlic bread and homemade split pea soup with bacon. My kids ate my garlic bread, took my corn and the split pea soup. Come and have a great time. By the way. I'm a dad with four kiddos. So as a family experience it was great!!! read more

Delicious food. Excellent service! Love the Denver omelette. My favorite place to enjoy...

I went there with my family not long time ago. The place was busy. Food was good, but not quesadillas (taste was weird). Our waitress was nice and friendly. The ambiance is great, but if you're going with kids be prepared to have so quarters (lots of cool stuff that my niece wanted to buy there) read more

We had a wonderful dinner this evening at Apple Annie's! Emily was an exceptional server- so nice and so caring. You can tell that she truly cares about her customers experience.

Service was good and food came out quick. I got the large chicken fried steak, the eggs one the side and the potatoes with it were perfect but the chicken fried steak itself was chewy and kinda burnt. I also got a scoop of the apple ice cream and it was great read more

Tulare, California. Hours: M-S 6a-9p. Sun 6a-3p. Location: Blackstone & Prosperity. Parking: Large, private lot. Décor: Cluttered, local thematic. Estimate Cost: $15 Service: Good. Friendly. Calm. Eatery Type: Dine In. Food: American. Breakfast/Brunch. Conclusion: You are as good as the competition or opportunities. Tulare lack both in regards to quality dining. There are plenty corporate junk to ravish upon but that's not my thing. The service, staff and so forth was pleasant. Everyone was nice during the morning bum rush. That is always a pleasant feeling after driving for a few hours starting off at 4am. Apple Annie has been around a long time. There was a patron that said I used to come here as a kid & lets say they were easily into the social security years. The crowd was a mixture of golden aged veterans and young families. The cuisine itself was an upgrade from Ihop. There was nothing special and still bummed out they didn't have apple based dishes such as an actual apple as a side dish. All in all, unless other opportunities are accessed, Apple Annie's is my go to breakfast spot in Tulare. Eating meat is an instinct. www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa read more

Great old time roadside diner if you happen to be on Highway 99 in California's Central Valley. Large selection of eggs/omelettes, lunch and dinner dishes. Friendly service and best of all, reasonable prices! If you happen to find yourself just 30 minutes south of Fresno, you gotta stop here; it's part of a dying breed of Americana. read more

This place is amazing in all aspects! From the outside seems like a homey place to eat and when you enter it as old fashion decor like a diner. Everyone is so friendly with great hospitality. I'm from Los ángeles and visiting for an event and this place was right next to our hotels and honestly worth it!!! Looks aren't everything, but wow the food is amazing!!! Great burgers, salads, and philly cheese steaks! They truly put love in their food! Also try the homemade apple pie with French vanilla ice cream!! Carrot cake was delicious as well. Kelsey our waitress was so kind and everyone else helping and coming by to check on us. We will definitely eat here again going through the town. read more

First time there. Fun decorating, patio area. Great service! Different waitstaff refilled my water and was attentive to the guests around me. Will come back read more

Wellllll, I'm giving 4 stars bc the food was tasty. I had a BLT with extra Mayo and tomato. The fries were better than I thought they'd be. The sandwich itself was tasty and I was satisfied with it. The bacon was crispy, the tomato was juicy and the avocado was ripe. I had a coffee as my beverage. The only reason I put down 4 stars is because I can't justify paying $20 for a BLT, fries and coffee. The bread was a basic, white bread, like Wonderbread or Bimbo. Although it was good, it did feel overpriced and it sort of disillusioned me into returning anytime soon. read more

Apple Annie's - BLT with Avocado and fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tulare, California

The food and service were excellent . The portions were great and an excellent value.

I'm not really a breakfast guy, usually I'm either running behind or I just don't feel hungry in the mornings so breakfast is a rare treat for me. Today on the way to some escape room action with the family we made a stop at Apple Annie's to fuel up our stomachs and minds before we hit the escape rooms and boy am I glad we did. I had never seen a cordon bleu omelet on any menu before and I was really intrigued so I went for it. The omelet is good sized and filled with chicken, ham, and swiss cheese. It's then smothered with hollandaise sauce and as someone who loves eggs benedict I can testify that it's pretty good hollandaise definitely made in house. The food was great, server was attentive and friendly and everything came out at a good pace. I left happy and full and I'll be a repeat customer if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Great little find in Tulare, CA! Restaurant is clean, service is good, and food was tasty. Husband had the Chili Verde Omelette, with a side of ham, I had a taco salad, no beans. The chili verde was good and would make an excellent burrito... taco salad was very good as well... one of the top taco salads that I have had. Both entrees were very filling leaving no room for dessert... although it would have been nice to try their Apple Dumplings or any other of their apple desserts. Price for food and drinks was comparable to a Black Bear Diner. It is very much worth visiting... we will be back, whenever traveling through, again. read more

Went for breakfast and we were seated immediately followed with our drink order. We were ready to order so he sent the waitress over. Very pleasant. had ham and eggs. Very good. Hashbrowns were just right...not soaked in grease. Would return if we are ever in the area again read more

Sooo good. Service is great. Go to spot. Yummy place and consistent. I would definitely go back here again.

Solid breakfast! I had senior breakfast called a "british" includes English muffin, poached egg, bacon, hollandaise. Served with hashbrowns. Yum Parter had country Benedict with biscuit, scramble eggs, sausage and country gravy. Hollandaise was nice an lemony I enjoyed the smaller portion too. The biscuit on the country bennidict was really good! Light and fluffy. The gravy was a bit bland but a little green Tabasco took care of that. The iced tea was good too! Service was stellar!! read more

Good stuff. Reasonable price. I'm a bit far from it, but would go more often if closer to home. Worth a try!

Had lunch there this week - their lunch cheeseburger and fries. The burger was so well-done it was almost inedible. The fries would have been good if they hot; they weren't. The service was spotty. My drink was never refilled. This may be a Tulare institution, but it's past its prime. read more

Nice little restaurant. You get a nice warm welcome, like grandmas house, when you walk in. It's outdated and old but the food was yummy! And the service was outstanding! Apple Annies is the spot for this little town because everyone was here in the morning and I can see why. Definitely beats IHOP, Denny's or black bear. Prices were reasonable. The only problem was the coffee...not the best. But who cares when you have good food and outstanding customer service. read more

I visit Apple Annie's every time I drive through Tulare. The food is good, particularly the chicken marsala. Breakfast is great too. The service is always friendly and welcoming. My kids always enjoyed the decor, particularly the toy train running through the room. Overall, it's a good place to take a break on a long road trip. read more

"Like Marie Callender's, but with Apples" Whenever we travel on the Highway 99 from the Bay Area, we make it a point to stop at Apple Annie's restaurant. Our visits here are always very pleasant. They have a good menu, and even a decent selection for seniors. (Of course, I am not eligible for that yet, but Someday when I am, I will use that portion of the menu.) The restaurant has a really pleasant interior, with lots of antique items, aircraft hanging from the ceiling, and even a toy model train running around the edge of the ceiling. For some reason, watching the train always reminds me of Gomez Addams. Our server Kari, was exceptionally friendly, as she always is. I ordered the red snapper fish dinner. My wife ordered the senior Taco plate. As always, the meals were promptly and professionally prepared. The red snapper was really tasty. It includes corn, a side salad, and potato, or in my case fruit. It's been a long time since I had red snapper and it was absolutely yummy. The senior Taco plate was much larger than we expected. It actually fills up a medium sized plate. It is served with salsa and ranch dressing on the side. The taco plate is really a sizable dish. So overall, a welcome stop when you are traveling on the 99 Freeway. And of course, don't miss the model train. Say hello to Gomez for me. read more

I love this Restaurant! I've practically tried everything on the Menu and it's all delicious. Their ranch is very unique and always tastes magnificent. The workers are all super nice and helpful and I never have to ask for a refill. The bus boys are on top of it and always staying busy. With that the restaurant and bathroom are always clean. The restaurant is decorated with old style and when I walk in it always feels like home. I regularly eat at this restaurant and I will continue to eat here because it's awesome, I recommend. read more

This place had great food and a great environment. The service was some of the best service I have had in a long time.

Just finished having a late lunch here. This was my first time at this quaint little cafe. The adorable train that tugs along the upper perimeter of the restaurant was fun to watch. We ordered burgers and a patty melt. This was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was very nice and attentive.The mixed reviews had me worried but I'm glad I have it a shot. The quality of the beef was delicious and the French fries were absolutely delicious . I'm sure I'll be bringing my boys back. read more

Best chicken fried steak made from freshly ground chuck and seasoned crust is delicious. Baked apple biscuits are da balm best ever eaten in my life! Friendly staff gotta come again & again. read more

Used to be one of our favorites! Not as clean as it should be the glass around booths have been dirty for awhile. How to explain this? I like my salad first which we got but shortly after we got our steak dinner, by the time we finished the salad our dinner was cold. Maybe the kitchen is too efficient or server is to slow on the salads?? Just not as great as it used to be and very disappointed, although the food is still great. read more

Probably the most country thing I have eaten in a long time...I had the Mary's mash which was eggs Benedict, hash browns on a biscuit and with gravy. Legit had to sit down and let my cholesterol calm down before resuming my drive. In my defense it was like 200 degrees outside. The strawberry lemonade is really good. The apple burrito is FIRE with the apple pie ice cream, must try. The valley sandwich was a winner and I would get that next time. read more

Randomly in Tulare for the weekend staying on a farm. Saw the great reviews on Apple Annie's. The inside is cute like a super old home style diner. What we ordered: Meatloaf with mashed potatoes Country side bennie Potato skins 2 sodas The bill was $52. Pretty pricy for what we got. My partner said the meatloaf was super old and probably reheated twice. My biscuits and gravy (country bennie) was ok. Potato skins were ok too just average. This place is average and that's about it. Cute logo I liked the picture read more
