I ate here last night. Had the California Grilled Chicken Salad. Online the salad is described as having avocados, tomatoes, smoked bacon, cucumber, and chicken What was served had mixed greens, lots of cucumbers and nice chicken. No avocado, no bacon, no tomatoes. It left a lot to be desired. Service was okay. Typical Applebees ambiance. read more

Would be a 0 star, but can't do 0. Service was terrible, party of 11, waited an hour to get our food and it was cold when we got it. Didn't get refills even after asking. We were told we get to talk to the manager but they never came. Finally got refills after an hour of waiting. Our food was on the house bit overall bad service. read more

This place is a hot mess. Didn't get offered a drink for an hour. It was a party of 14. Food took forever. And you had to look through a stack of receipts to find yours.in total we were there for 3 hrs. Will not be going back. read more

food was ok but i didnt like the 1 hour wait and the servers barely even checked on me and my family

Our server was barely paying attention to our table. She didn't give us silverware so we had to ask someone else and she didn't give us any refills until we asked. She was an older black woman who had her hair in a bun and a rose tattoo on her neck. We literally saw her on her phone in the back not paying attention to us or serving us. We were a big group of teenagers so I understand there were a lot of us but she was paying attention to almost every other table but ours. Our overall experience was diminished because of her and we usually get better service here. I don't know the woman's name but she was very slow and paid almost no attention to us. The food was very good though despite this I just wish we got a server who cared about us. read more

Blaire was the server for my son and I tonight, I didn't like my steak or green beans they are not like the other Applebees but her service made us want to return read more

Awful experience. We walked in to pick up an online order and were not greeted for a few minutes. We waited 30 minutes but were then told we couldn't use our gift cards, because there WiFi was not working. The general manager (I assume by the nice shirt) wouldn't offer any other solution nor did he want to listen to anything we had to say as he told us "you have to pay cash there is nothing we can do" as he turned his back to us. We left our food and will not be back to this location. They need to take some notes from the cuyahoga fall location. read more

this place took forever to get my flipping food out. I'm writing this still waiting as my mouth is watering and I just a nice and fresh meal right after awaited play off game and was so excited to get me some food. im now looking next door to this dennys that 10x more promising. if this food does not come out soon I think I will pop a blood vessel, scratch that this guy just told out table that "we messed up your order" if it wasent for the exceeding amounts of whitenesses, I would have probably strangled this man. I'm legit tweaking out and a girl just needs her food how long does it take you to make a simple 2 piece order. read more

My daughter loves Applebees and we come here often. Today we came and the service was excellent. Waitress was attentive and friendly. My wings were good and so were the fries. For some reason my daughters wings were hard so I assume they were over cooked. I don't like being a Karen so I didn't make a big deal about it and just told the waitress that she may want to mention to the kitchen that the wings were over cooked. I had already paid at this point and didn't expect anything taken off of my check or anything. Right before we left the manager came and me a 10.00 card for next time. Again, I didn't expect anything but I thought that was nice of her to do! read more

We are done with this Applebee's restaurant. My wife and I have been repeat customers for a couple of years, when the food and service was very good. But, over the last couple of months the quality and quantity has degraded to the point of ridiculous. We were primarily take-out customers, ordering on line. We began to experience shortages to our orders, i.e. sauces not packaged, drinks not made, food missing/not made, etc. We also noticed food was overcooked/undercooked, soggy or burned. We brought this to the attention of the restaurant via emails and were ignored. The last straw was this evening (Sept. 27th) when we ordered 2 dinners. My wife was missing the baked potato that went with her grilled chicken dinner, and I was missing both the marinara sauce and barbecue sauce ordered for the appetizer platter. Its a shame, because we both used to enjoy this restaurant. Being seniors on a fixed income, the last thing we can afford to do is throw cash out the window. read more

My hotel and this restaurant are both off of Arlington close to I-77 and with the unpredictable weather that is so prevalent in Ohio I decided to stay close and make a short night of it. The restaurant was surprisingly empty around 7:00 PM, on the other hand it was the middle of the week and most of the locals were probably enjoying a home cooked meal by the looks of the other customers scattered around the restaurant. I figured since no customers were waiting when I arrived I'd kindly ask the hostess if I could grab a seat directly across from one of the flat screens, she was fine with it and she let me take the lead and pick my spot. My server greeted me almost immediately after taking my seat then left to grab my drink while I reviewed the menu. I chose the Bourbon Chicken and Shrimp light on the sauce with roasted potatoes. I opted for the smaller portion and it turned out to be a good choice. I don't eat at Applebee's very often anymore but there was a time when I spent a considerable amount of time at one near where I lived in a different decade. The food was well prepared and delivered after only a short time which is exactly what I was looking for. The service was very friendly and attentive and there were no issues, I love it when everything works like it should and everyone wins... read more

good waitress she was very nice and sweet. the service was great. The food tasted good but a little cold but great overall. love this!

We really like the waitress Ashley. Very attentive and friendly. However, the cooking is not consistent. The first time we ate there, the food took a long time to come out. We were done eating by the time a couple that arrived shortly after we had sat down. Our wonton tacos and salads were very good, but the fries for a burger tasted old and hard. We went again last week (about a few weeks later) and got the same meals. They were out of our appetizer at only 3 pm, and our salads were not as good. They drenched my salad with dressing and the other salad had a stem in it. The fries were tastier, but still tasted old. If a restaurant's fries taste worse than some from a fast food joint, you have a problem. Please be more consistent with cooking. read more

Pleasant atmosphere but do they need more competent help? Our waitress was pleasant but a real ditz!!! Running around. Not finishing anything!?!? We wanted a real simple order. She asked the right questions and then really screwed it up. Asked what sauce we wanted for our onion rings, we said ranch, she brought BBQ. We ordered two small steaks, medium rare with broccoli and mashed potatoes as the picture showed. I received my order my husband got well done tough steak with mashed potatoes AND FRENCH FRIES. WHAT???? And she must of asked us 20 times if she could get us some A1Sauce. Yuck. Refused a replacement and she was taking off the bill but didn't. We were so fed up, we just paid and left but will NOT BE RETURNING TO APPLEBEES PERIOD. Nasty. Don't bother. (The beer was good) read more

This has to be 1 of the shadiest restaurants I have ever been to. My friend and I sat there for 10 minutes (we counted) as the girl that would turn out to be our waitress walked by us multiple times and then came over and was like "Oh I totally didn't see you guys sitting here" and proceeded to talk crap about the hostess not telling her that she had sat somebody in her section. Honey, you have two eyes in your head. She took our order, asking multiple times if the bills were separate... yes for the 100th time. Girl was having a rough day. Food didn't take long and tasted fine. When I asked for a refill, she looked at me like I had 2 heads. Then the bills came. She asked if we were paying cash or card, and stood there waiting. We weren't ready to pay or leave yet, but she wouldn't leave the table. She stood there waiting. (Weird much?) So we had to dig in our purses and get out our cash NOW cause this chick wasn't budging. THEN she brings back some dollar bills and we watch as she goes to her car parked outside to bring us back the rest of the change (coins) from HER car. WTH?! And the change wasn't even the right amount. We just left. What on earth is going on in that place???? I was a server before, never have I had to get change for a customer out of my car? And good Lord, I CAN add and subtract properly. Steer clear of this place. read more

Everytime i come to pick up a doordash order they always make me late! They always pretend i'm not standing right in front of them!

The service was ass. We had a dance to go to that they knew about and we got stuck there for 45 minutes because they recalled our bill after we paid. The food was mid and the steak was burnt. Oh but it "wasn't an inconvenience," we were just missing our senior homecoming that half of us were on court for. Right. We also watched a group come in after us and leave before us. Yes, they had a smaller group than us, but they got out a good 40 minutes before us. read more

The last three orders placed were incomplete. I an very sorry I wasted my time ordering from this location again. They said I cold drive back to the restaurant to get a salad while the remainder of the food gets cold. They will kindly refund my money for the missing meal however I was on the phone 10 minutes to get the refund while the rest of the food got cold. The first person I spoke to insinuated I was not telling the truth. Why would I waste my time on hold if the order was complete? We all could have sat down to eat. But, one meal was missing so something else had to be prepared. read more

Great service, their bartender was very very friendly and helpful. Mein, a customer was so rude to her but she was beyond nice. I personally wanted to kick his a**. Very clean and quiet setting. What I loved most about this location is how they share their picture of their teams etc. Their wall decoration .. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - This drink right here omg boom - American Near Me - Akron, Ohio

The only reason there is 2 stars is because the server tried to make it better.I ordered a classic cheeseburger,I ask if I could get it med. The server said they served them pink or no pink. I ordered it pink. My friend ordered a slab of ribs. when they brought it out it was not only not pink ,but it was cooked hard. Waitress took it back and came back and said they mixed up and gave me the wrong burger and they were making me a new one.waited a long time and ask the server to check on it,she said she just checked and they were putting the cheese on it. This on was burned also. An other server or fillin manager came out and said she would cook it herself.She brought a raw one out Oh by the way my friend I was having dinner with was already finished. I told her just take it off the bill but she said she no she would fix it.4th time they got it right.I ate half of it ,but my friend was waiting a long time, So we had dinner together But at different times! WILL NoT BE Back!! read more

No one walks into an Applebee's and expects a fine dining experience, ala the Hyde Park Grill, but one should expect more than two menus for a party of six, and utensils and entrees within an hour and fifteen minutes of being seated. Then after waiting the only thing served warm was the breadsticks. What a disaster, the restaurant was below 50 percent capacity and was still unable to turn out a serviceable meal. At least one other party walked out during our marathon, so it wasn't that we were off base. Our server at least filled and refilled the drinks, but the hostess and manager should be sent to Applebee's Re-education Camp. Do yourself a favor and drive a bit further down Arlington for a decent meal. read more

After a previously bad experience at this Applebee's, my fiance and I decided to give it one last shot, only because a district manager had sent me my money back for a previous bad meal. (He sent $30 worth of coupons basically.) Tonight my fiance ordered the 'Cowboy Burger with fries' and I ordered the 'Hot Shot Whisky Chicken'. We also got the spinach-artichoke dip and 2 orders of the brownie bites. He really enjoyed his burger! Perfect amount of toppings, and was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My meal was everything I had hoped for! Juicy chicken, tasty gravy, creamy and flavorful mashed potatoes and it was very filling! The desserts were so rich and tasty and just the perfect, 'bite'! The only thing I'd have to complain about were the appetizer. For almost $8 for the dip and chips, they really don't give you a whole lot of dip. My chips also must have come from the bottom of the chip bag cause there was maybe 6 total whole chips the rest crumbs. I did order carside to go so no comments on staff really. This Applebee's, I have learned, is good for the simple things, burgers, chicken, pasta, etc. You will definitely be seeing us again Applebee's! Thank you for a great dinner! read more

Not real impressed. Staff is friendly and the place is, well an Applebee's. Ordered the steak salad was a bit disappointed that it wasn't bigger. The French onion soup was good but not hot. Almost like it sat out before being served. If your looking for something easy right off 77 then it's not bad. Just wish experience was better at a chain. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The manager tonight, Amanda Smith, hung up on me after they told me I was wrong about my order over 5 times. I requested no almonds on my salad due to an allergy, they put almonds on it. In addition, I ordered a red apple sangria and they gave me some orange mango drink. The car side person proceeded to tell me I was wrong and did order the mango drink; yet, I have my receipt showing I didn't. The manager then got on the phone and was extremely rude. She laughed about the allergy and asked me if I could tell the difference between a red and orange drink. Like am I a complete moron that doesn't know that there's red wine in my drink, and absolutely no mango. Long story short, they will not refund you, don't care about killing someone or making someone sick with an allergy and have zero accountability for their mistakes. When it comes to Amanda Smith she takes it to the next level and hangs up on you. read more

Applebee's as a company...not so great if you believe in standing up for a womans right to use birth control (although it depends on which franchise you visit). And not so great if you go to the South Arlington location either. I could be wrong, but I took my friends out to lunch on 03/04/14 and I'm pretty sure our waiter was either stoned out of his mind or is just naturally ...foggy(?). I'll refer to him as MH, he was nice but not very attentive. He never offered refills, condiments, or dessert to any of us. Who knows, maybe he was just having a bad day- it happens. But the issue really wasn't MH, it was the poor food quality. I love their pretzels & beer dip & have had it numerous times at other locations. However, this time the cheese/beer sauce didn't look very appealing. It was luke warm at best and had absolutely no flavor or hint of beer at all. I also ordered the cherry limeade; there was more crushed ice in my glass than the drink itself. My friends didn't seem that impressed with their meals either & left half of the sampler behind. And, not to be a cheap a** but $2.39 for one cup of Pepsi- seriously! You can buy a can for .75 cents, sometimes even cheaper. I'd be willing to go back to Applebee's again but definitely not this specific location. read more

I just ate lunch here today while at a conference in Akron. The waitstaff was amazing, the food and ambiance was not so good. My basic complaint with all Applebee's Restaurants is the bright lighting and windows on 3 sides of the restaurant. If I wanted to eat in broad daylight I'd sit on the patio. There is NO privacy in these restaurants... the minute one enters the door he/she can see everyone eating there. Today I had the "new" double crunch wings for lunch. I'm not sure why they are new, but the double crunch must mean that they dipped them in the fryer twice. The wings were dried out and tasted as if they had been microwaved prior to being fried. I ordered the Hot Buffalo sauce but the wings were dry and there was some sort of spice concoction sprinkled on the wings (almost like a dry rub) - is this the double crunch??? I've had much better wings other places for less money. I also ordered fries with no seasoning. These were delivered to me with salt all over them. Oh well... read more

Me and a friend stopped at Applebee's for a few burgers ,During the Initial talk to the waitress l told Erin l couldn't do bacon,Went ahead and ordered my burger and realized 3/4 of the way thru that there was still bacon on it due to there being bacon in the sauce on the burger.After telling the waitress that l haven't had any bacon in 12 years her response was you can spend some extra time here we have bathrooms Smth l was outdone..........I prolly won't be going back to Applebee's for a while .Guess l will be going to the new Melt restaurant across the street from Applebee's on West Market St Thanks Erin M read more

Showed up for late night half price appetizers (the only reason I ever go here) with 8 people and we got in basically right away. Our server was friendly and overall he was pretty good. I did have one complaint with him. He told us that the margaritas were half off. So my wife ordered a pomegranate margarita and he asked her if she wanted the perfect margarita. She said yes because she didn't know what different kinds they had. Well, I guess that one wasn't half off because when we got our check, it was $8 for the margarita. I wish he would have made it clear that it was only a certain kind of margaritas. Food was okay. I got the honey bbq wings. The wings that had a lot of sauce were great, but about half of them were only covered with a minimal amount of sauce. One of the other guys in my group had the same problem. My wife got the wonton tacos and they were great. Overall, this is an average Applebee's. Then again, Applebee's is just average anyways. read more

Great service. Had the Salmon and it was excellent. They had the thermostat at ice level. But they adjusted it when asked.
