Worst service ever!! The place was empty. Took someone about 10 minutes to come over and ask us for drinks. Another 10 for food order. After waiting an hour my fiancé walked back into the kitchen since no server was in sight. Food was not even close to done so we walked out. read more

We love our local Applebee's! Good appetizers and the American Classic Cheeseburger is probably my favorite! Plenty of tv's for your viewing pleasure and ice cold local Ale and a full bar! read more

Went to eat with my mom and 2 babies. Ordered our food and it came out cold. Our oriental salads were not made right and were basically bagged lettuce and over cooked fried chicken with no meat. I was very polite and informed the waitress which was very sweet and helpful and went back to have 2 more salads made. The second ones arrived much better and we ate our salads. Upon the last bite I took a bite into something hard and tasted like a bitter pill. Absolutely disgusting. I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. My babies food was dry and gross. I am writing a review so that if anything happens to me after this I have proof. I cannot get this taste out of my mouth. read more

I'm giving four stars because I appreciate the many choices on the kids menus. Often when I take my four grandchildren out, the young ones are limited to a few choices. But this time they could have steak and, wow, were they excited! Applebee's has two levels of kids meals: kid size and then that in-between "Really Really Hungry" size for those who aren't toddlers, but not quite ready for an adult portion. I also appreciate that they offer milk, chocolate milk, and a couple of juice choices in addition to sodas. I ordered a mozzarella stick appetizer for everyone. There were plenty of sticks, but with hungry kids that lasted about 2.5 minutes. I did enjoy my steak/ribs combo, too. The restaurant was full, but the service was steady, with one manager pitching in to help delivery meals. Overall, a satisfying meal and happy grandkids! read more

False advertising of delivery-- Applebee's DOES NOT deliver. They have a 3rd party going through Doordash which sucks.

Yup that is what you see RAW CHICKEN from the legendary Applebee's!! The way the manager reacted to it it seemed like it was their new special. She came walking over and looked at it for 2 seconds then asked "we'll do you want more?" And walked away. Waiter noticed how rude she was and called her back as if she did not understand what was going on and the manager straight up said "idk what you guys want me to do, you want shrimp instead?" Obviously serving raw chicken is not an issue at the Atwater Applebee's and beware of the grouchy old manager lady with orange ish hair... read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Raw chicken - Burgers Near Me - Atwater, California

Food is okay. Service is good. Prices are okay. Location is good. Parking is good.

I ordered ribs with mashed potatoes and brocolli. I got some decent ribs with fries that weren't even hot and broccoli that was subpar. Now I remember why I don't eat there at all. I need to stop looking at their commercials. $40 for sub-par food for my wife and I. read more

So far our server and Jeff the cook are so nice and with my allergies they are super helpful.

The worst food ever!!!! Came out cold.. good customer service very nice people.. but the food horrible.. I wanted to walk out...

This Applebee's is awesome! The food is fast and taste great. The bartender Heather is friendly and attentive, she suggested the meal deal since we got meals that qualify for the appetizer ended up saving us about $20 bucks.... No one makes a captain Mama like she does!!! If she's working order one! read more

I know they are new, but we had the WORST experince. Drinks were awful. Waitress was sooooo unprofrssional. Food was shitty. My dessert ended up on the ground, then she brought another, that was as cold as the ice cream and wasn't prepared correctly at all Never again!!!! read more

Always check your Carside To Go before you leave the parking lot. I ordered Fish and Chips something that is pretty hard to mess up. When I got home and checked the box, it had three pieces of fish, tarter sauce and coleslaw in a condiment cup that was the same size as the sauce. I called to complain and spoke with the manager who apologized and said he would make it up to me by sending me certificates for two free meals since one of ours was ruined. He told me to give it one to two weeks to arrive in the mail. It has been over a month and I have yet to receive anything from Applebee's in the mail. I doubt that I will. Unfortunately I am probably just another causality in a long line of many who made the mistake of using Carside To Go. I wish I could say this was the first negative experience with picking up food this way, but it wasn't - just the first time it was horrible enough to complain! ***UPDATE - approximately a week after posting this review, I received two $10 certificates in the mail. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - My Carside To Go meal "Fish and Chips" = no fries and coleslaw in a condiment cup. This is exactly how it looked when I opened the box. - Burgers Near Me - Atwater, California

The food was ok, and the server was personable. However, the dishes were very dirty, with visible food left onand in the cups, and the tea pots. For a newer Applebee's, I am surprised on how dirty the dishes were. I asked for a new cup, and the server stated all cups were stained, and brought my mom and I our hot water in styrofoam cups. I suggested he tell them in the back to wash dishes by hand and put some vinegar on the cups. Next time, I'll do the 20 minute drive to Merced. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Burgers Near Me - Atwater, California

We didn't wait long for a table on Friday night. The food was good. The service could have been better. When we weren't ready right away, our server did not return for at least 15 minutes, long after we had decided on our food. Additionally, he never came to refill our empty water glasses! It's nice that Atwater has this option, because we all really enjoyed our food, but we hope they can improve their service. read more

Everyone is very attentive. Food is delicious. Atmosphere is very comfortable and I love the pictures on the walls of local schools and areas. read more

I got there she came out right away brought me my food and i was gone within minutes. It was very nice and the friendly young girl made it very pleasant for my visit today so thank you Taylor R. read more

I dislike Applebee's as it is but I wanted to try this one and give it a shot. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated next to the servers. All you could hear was them frantically talking about how busy it was. Our server never brought plates for us to eat the appetizers with after asking 2 times. You have to ask for water refills I ordered a second cocktail and it took 35 minutes for me to get , with 3 people behind the bar plus the confused looking manager I kept looking and it just never was my drink. New tables were getting served theirs. We did the build your own sampler and decided we wanted more wings thinking it oils be an additional 3 for the added appetizer. Nope of course not because they have no idea what they are doing here it was $10. This was a struggle as well due to the waitress handing us two checks that were not our tables. Check you check before paying. Honestly I won't come here again. It sucks that this is the only place with cocktails and food. Way to crammed. People are stuffed everywhere here and the lighting is way too bright. read more

We arrived at noon for lunch this last Friday. I have three small children under six along with my husband. We stood there for at least 10 minutes. There was NO ONE in the restaurant whatsoever, not even staff. Two women walked in behind us eventually, so I decided to hand out menus and utensils and sit people ourselves to find out exactly how long it would take them to get to us. After sitting the two ladies, I sat my family down and finally what looked like a manager came out of the back, followed five minutes later by two waitresses. After another 15 minutes, the waitress strolled over for the drink order. Not surprised that she never listened to what we actually ordered. My husband and I had to house salad switch came, no kidding, about 5 minutes before our actual food. We never received some of the things that we ordered. When ordering the chicken macaroni for one of the kiddos, and pointing to the picture none the less stating please bring the one right here in the picture as is, the boxed nasty Kraft mac and cheese was brought out. I don't know what is wrong with this place, however for only 5 people being in the entire restaurant, excuse me 7 counting the ladies at the next table they couldn't get anything right. My husband ordered a simple Coke which was never refilled. And I'm not even going to go into the attitude from the waitress that made us feel like we were disturbing her time. Never to return to this place again 0 Stars (- 5) if I could. Good luck in the future to this place! read more

Food is great & prices are fair. I personally recommend the happy hour for the half off drinks and appetizers.... My FAVORITE food here is the wonton tacos! They are truly addicting. read more

Horribly over-priced. small portions. otherwise edible. hard to relax there.

They need someone that knows how to run a bar. Terrible terrible service. I have not ate here in a booth or table but the service at the bar sucks. Theres probably one good bartender there. I've been here multiple times and the barista will be in front t of me and not great me or ask me for anything, I always have to ask for a menu. Barista will leave the bar for over 15 min at a time to return for 10 min and then leave again... read more

Applebee's makes me sad in my heart. It seems like every time I go there, they have changed the menu and or the prices. We gambled and lost on that place too many times. Won't go back. Sad face. read more

I always have a positive experience when I eat at Applebee's in Atwater. I really enjoy their Happy Hour drinks and appetizers. The boneless wings, double crunch bone-in wings, and the Wonton Tacos are delicious. We always order our wings naked, with sauce on the side. The Pub Pretzels are also yummy. Drinks are good and what is to be expected from a chain restaurant. I am so glad that there's an Applebee's in Atwater. read more

Service was very good. Once the "newness" of the place died down things got better. I and my wife had a 2 for 25 deal. I had the 7oz sirloin, med rare. When my steak was delivered it was very rare, so rare a skilled veterinarian could have brought it back to life. Sent it back and it came back more cooked but like it was nuked, and the way the steak tasted it tasted as if it was nuked then thrown onto the grill to give it grill marks. My wife got the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp, both chicken and shrimp were cooked properly and all of our side orders were pretty good. The service was superior, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of checking on us semi frequently. read more

(My names Jack, I lost my page so I'm repostin my reviews on this account ya dig.) Nah. Just nah fam. you makin me spend damn near 40 dollars for 2 meals that aint it for a damn diner. cmon now...food aint what u think it is if u chargin like that. read more

The service is incredibly slow here. We waited some time to order our drinks, our food, and finally to get the check. Waiter was friendly but if we asked for anything it was a while before wed see the guy again. Finally my friend forgot her wallet here. She called them and they confirmed they had it there, only when she showed up to pick it up they claimed they shredded it/ company policy. The food was on the edge of okay and "ehh". read more

I stopped at the his place while driving from Nor Cal to So Cal because we don't have an Applebee's where I live. This Applebee's looks new. It was clean and taken care of except for the fact that there was no soap in the ladies room. Both pumps were empty. I mentioned it to one of the employees because she happened to be entering the ladies room as I was leaving it. She told me she knew and pointed to this soap dispenser that was lying on the counter and told me I had to use that one. I had tried that one too and it was difficult to hold and pump. It should have been mounted to the wall. The food was ok. I like that they have a low calorie menu. read more

My buddy and I decided to go to Applebee's for a beer and some food. He ordered the whiskey burger(medium rare), I ordered the salsa verde beef nachos and ordered mozzarella sticks. Our order was placed at 9:06 and we didn't receive our food until 9:46. To our surprise our food was cold and the burger was well-don. Completely disappointed. Plus the music choice that was playing was extremely loud and distasteful. Most of all the songs played referred to smoking weed, popping Molly's, getting at hoes and being a boss bitch. I thought I went to a FAMILY restaurant but it was more like a ghetto nightclub. Not to mention the entire waitstaff including the manager hung out in the back. Yelp needs to make a half a star for places like this. I won't be going back read more

Every time I come here, doesn't matter the time they are either super busy with a wait time of 20+ mins or we get right in but they have one wait person to do the entire restaurant so service lacks emensely. I think I'll just be skipping on Applebee's for a while. read more

I'm not a huge Applebee's fan, but we were travelling in our motor home and I wanted to catch a cable football game, so this location was perfect. Parked in the Walmart lot and walked over. The food was priced well ( Happy hour) and the bartender ( Yolanda ) was superb. Friendly crowd... no idea what it's like on a regular night. read more

Had amazing service tonight, especially from Brian. We had a huge party of like 20 and he was so on top of things, knew exactly who got what and checked on drinks constantly. He's amazing! read more

We don't eat here very often. Usually give it a year and try it again with the same disappointment. Order car side to go, "order will be ready at 6:22". Got here at 6:20 and the food just came out at 6:52. There are some things that are out of your control but they have the ability to update through text messages. It would have been faster to eat inside. I guess we will give it another year. read more

I've been their a handful of times and everytime they bug me about that darn survey! One of the waitresses there even stands next to you to make sure you give her 5 stars! Her name was La or something like that. The food was good and not too bad of service, I just do not wish to be pestered about a darn survey! Will definitely give it some time before I return. read more

My friends and I came as a party of 12 at 10pm. As soon as we were seated, the service was horrible . We waited over two hours to be served our food and weren't checked on. Three larger parties came in after us and were served, and billed all before us. At some point I thought it was because these groups were treated with a priority because of their suit and tie. I felt discriminated against. To add injury to insult, some of the people in our party didn't even get the rest of their order until it was time to get billed (which also took 45 minutes to do and we ended up leaving at 1:15am!!!) . it's ridiculous! the service was horrible and do not expect to come back . read more

It's sad how they said we couldn't get a second round of drinks cuz he said we came in drunk when we had not even had one drink before coming to eat ... guess we can't be coming in happy Richie was the dinner read more

I ordered the burger and fries. The burger was perfect. Cooked just right, very flavorful and with the right amount of juiciness. The fries were good, I like them more crunchy but will just have to ask if they could cook them longer next time. The ranch was delicious. (For all my ranch lovers) My server, Lizzie did a great job. She was very friendly and we never had to ask her for anything. She already knew when we wanted something! Another drink, more napkins! She was like a psychic! I wish all restaurants I go to had a Lizzie. Overall had a great experience at this Applebee's and will be back! read more

Happy Valentine's to all and including the staff At Applebee'. However, It's been awhile since my husband and have been able to get out, little lone with friends Since COVID shut down. We came out this evening with high hopes for a wonderful meal and great company. After we finally got sat (in outdoor seating of course) it took 25 minutes to get a drink ordered. There was not that many people sat at this time. Took another 20 minutes to get them. We ordered 2 appetizers and a cup of soup and our meal at the same time. We did not get our appetizers for another 2 hours. Then they finally got our food. COLD! And only 3 of them. The 4th plate hadn't even been ackowledged as a meal. after 2 hours we still didn't have silverware or condiments. Watched 3 other tables come and go. The server did his best of course this trickles down the line as the bartenders and expos and cooks but at the end of the day, this comes down to the management. They should be on top of what the other lines of communication who wasn't trained properly. also, it should be known that it was a holiday during COVID and should of had their A-team staff on hand. I have never ordered a $40 plate that came out cold ever!! All of us. Worst food and service I have ever had. Will never go back to another Applebee's anywhere ever again. luckily we were in good company. otherwise the holiday would of been ruined. read more

Food is awful. Just ordered take out and we threw away most of the food. My God how hard is it to make it at least not taste like trash. It was gross. The only think I like in this place are the drinks. read more
