I am not here to be funny. To me, this is a serious issue. To me, this ruins my eating experience. Some say "There are thousands of reasons why"... nono... there are only a few reasons why. And it makes me angry. I HATE it when they sit me at the bad table (when there are plenty of good tables available... PLENTY). I went to Applebee's at Camarillo in June 2018. The greeter took us to the table very close to the restroom. So, we had to ask her if we can sit at the booth by the window at the other side of the restaurant. She said "OK". Again, there were PLENTY of OK to good tables EVERYWHERE. But she choose to put us at the back by toilets. This ruined my eating experience, right there. How does that work? You look at certain customers and decide they should sit at the booth by the window? And you look at us and decide we should sit by the toilets? How does that work? Can't you just give us the best table you have available? Since then, I talked to people who worked at restaurants in the past. They said the main possibilities why I get bad tables are 1) They assumed I was a bad tipper. 2) They didn't like me. They said I would get a good table if I looked like a matured professional white man. Something's gotta give. This is my number one reason why I don't eat out. I get irritated when they give me bad table. I bet I am not the only person. They HAVE TO change the rule. Greeters should sit customers at the best possible table available at that moment. Restaurant industry should come up with a new way to distribute customers to waiters. It cannot be that complicated. read more

I am not even sure how the food, and I do use that word very loosely, can even be served! I don't think they do any cooking on the premises, exceot maybe for salads. I pictured all the frozen food coming from a central kitchen in ahh..Hoboken and then reheated in Applebees all across America. I had some sort of mystery riblets which were old and dry like when you forget about the take out box of ribs in the back of the fridge. This is a good example of why the USA gets such a bad wrap about food. This is shameful stuff! read more

Normally we enjoy this location for late night dinners as locals and regulars. Service is usually very good. But after tonight and experIencing the worst waiter experience-we will never come back. This waiter was like an on call or last minute add on for a busy Friday night. He would roll his eyes, not explain and all our food came out super late. He was just rude and the worst. Soup is a basic appetizer and came out last. We have no tolerance for horrible customer service. Management- please- weed out good and bad staff. He shouldn't work if he hates his job so much!!! read more

I work close by, had a gift card and thought i would give the restaurant a chance. I haven't been here since they reopened but overheard a customer at my workplace comment how good his burger and fries were. Ordered two burgers for hubby and I and the waitress/bartender was nice enough to point out about a free appetizer special. Yay! Greasy, nasty mozzarella sticks!TGIF has good ones. Unedible plastic cheese. Burgers arrived, looked good, but after a few bites, rare inside after ordering them well done( no pink). They too were not good at all along with the tasteless fries and over battered onion rings. Told waitress and mgr Tony came by to apologize. We didn't want new food but maybe a discount or a free beer would have been nice. The only thing good was our server and the beer. A complete waste of money! read more

Went there today for late lunch food good.Server and waitress failed to ask me if I want to buy gift cards.I was unsure to ask for free appetizer.On each dining states if you are asked about purchasing the store gift card you get free appetizer.The place only had 5 customers at the time we patronize the restaurant.Applebee where is my appitizer? read more

My husband and just recently ate at Applebee's , and thought that maybe the service would improve from our last visit last year! Well, it didn't. Our waitress was a complete phony! When she brought us our food, it wasn't that good. My husband had ordered a shrimp salad with extra shrimp. Guess what? No extra shrimp, and half of it was cold!! The only thing that was decent was the iced tea and the perfect margarita! Once again, Camarillo's Applebee's is seriously slacking in the food and service department. That's how they probably closed the first time! Get it together, or you'll be closing your doors again, and won't be welcomed back!! read more

Went there last night and it took a while to even get noticed by the hosts, we didn't get greeted at all. We started off at the bar top, I didn't catch this bartenders name but she had long blonde hair and I don't know if she had a bad night but she came off with an attitude and I felt like she didn't want us there. I'm a server and even on my worst nights I'm polite and do my job professionally. Anywho we stayed and got served by I believe this lady named Veronica she had darker hair, and let me tell you she was great! The only reason I gave this place four stars. Despite being incredible busy she was super polite and just an overall great server! Thanks for making our night better. You rock :) If I ever would come back it would be for her service. read more

Coming in two hours before closing on Christmas Eve is a recipe for disaster, and this meal was just that. My friend and I ordered classic cheeseburgers with fries. The burgers came, and I was stunned by how small they were. Then I noticed that there was nothing but the meat and cheese. The waiter must've caught my look, because she asked if we wanted the lettuce, pickle, tomato, and onion that was supposed to be on the burgers! We told her yes! When the lettuce and stuff came, we asked her to please bring mayo and mustard as by then we had noticed the burgers had no dressing of any kind. She seemed surprised we requested it, but she eventually got it to us. All the while, country Christmas music blared from the speakers. Super annoying. The food was actually good. The fries were crispy, and the burger, though minuscule, was tasty. The service wasn't horrible. The waiter was nice, she just seemed out of it. Everything was just a little off, a little weird. More like the night before Halloween than Christmas. read more

Great find! As a local I never tried Applebee's until this summer and now we are regulars! Family friendly! Customer service always top notch from my experience! Great appetizers and specials! Open late to midnight or later! read more

I like using the app because it's quick and easy. You just place your order set a time of when you are going to pick up. It's great when your in a hurry. The gripe that I have is the service at this location. This is the second time I have placed a order to go and each time I have to wait for it to get done. And the food is some what cold. The system could use some improvements. read more

Food was decent, what made me give two stars is the fact they let a woman bring in her dog in a fucking stroller. No service dog is ever I'm a stroller. Apparently this Applebees likes to violate health and food safety rules and regulations. On top of that our server waa not knowledgeable about the menu on basic questions like can the item hold the onions. And she liked to talk to staff more than assist her guests. Sucks this is the only Applebees in the area. If I have my way I won't be coming back. read more

Wowowow this Applebee's is the best! I took my beautiful girlfriend on a date here and we got this wonderful server named Priscilla (p.s i recommend everyone to ask for her she gives the best service). She was always very responsive and really created an awesome atmosphere for us. The food was really great A+ read more

Sadness fills my pallette!!! I was pretty excited to hear that I was going to be able to get the Asian Chicken Salad again once Applebee's reopened the doors. I ordered this salad and was soooooo disappointed.... I don't know if they used old oil to fry the chicken strips but I would say NO GO on the crispy chicken! So I thought, well, I really need to be healthier so I will order the grilled chicken. NOPE, not better at all! Ok, I'll give em another chance. This time I ordered the Steak with garlic sauce! The sauce was pretty good but the steak must have been beat to death and then marrinated for weeks. NOT GOOD! Should I try this place again? Well, I'm not in too much of a hurry. read more

Don't order a steak, unless you like the taste of suck. The only thing that stinks worse than their steaks are their managers faces, because their heads are so far up their asses. The only thing you can look forward to at this place is getting drunk... that is if you come in on a day when some new and under trained bar tender isn't working. There where two cool bartenders, one of which quit and it's always someone new and terrible. Haven't the managers ever heard of bartending school? Guess you don't have to finish college to manage one of these places. read more

My mom and I decided to get the 2/$20 deal here. We settled on the Mozzarella sticks as our appetizer. Delicious! ..... waiting on our entrees. read more

Love happy hour also the chicken won tacos are awesome other then that some drinks n salad are all I always end up getting here! read more

It's been roughly 8 years since I have stepped into a Applebee's. The menu was different and unique. I Ordered there Triple Hog Sandwich And I was blown away by how tasty the sandwich was. The food was really good everyone in my party enjoyed it & there drinks. The problem is the service. Servers going through the whole process like a bunch of robots. They can't smile and or show any facial expression as if they were enjoying any part of helping you. In the future I can see servers be replaced with the mobile pos they have a tables. I will probably stay away for a while. The food was excellent but the service makes is going to make it really hard to come back. I almost got up land left yesterday. There was 4 tables in whole restaurant and it took our server 4 minutes to come to table and greet us from the time we got sat down. I counted 9 different employees that were working at time. read more

I love this Applebee's. Staff is always courteous and takes good care of you. The food is excellent. Prices are good too. There is plenty of seating and they do great with large parties. The absolute best dessert is a blondie. If you haven't had one, do yourself a favor and try it. You will come back time and time again for one. read more

Great food. The riblets and fries are my go-to every time I visit!!!!!!

What can I say, it's Applebee's, the McDonalds of causal dinning. When ever my wife and I don't know what to have for dinner, Applebee's is the safe choice. Helps that they're open late too. Sometime we go just to have desert. However, I want to give extra props for the Camarillo location. Their staff is really on the ball and the one time we had a bad server the manager apologized and comped the meal for us. Recently, my wife and I have been on a restrictive diet. The restaurant was very accommodating. Maybe too much, I felt kind of bad given how complex we made the order. Well probably steer clear until our diets over. Then we'll celebrate by splitting a maple blonde! read more

We live in Oxnard and my wife requested a burger from Applebees, so off we go on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Our server, Sandy was very attentive and provided us enough time to peruse the menu. Orders were taken and our Food was timely received from the kitchen. I ordered steak, while my wife ordered a cheeseburger with bacon. Food was good, except one issue with raw chips on our appetizer. Manager, Amy was apologetic and quickly remedied the situation. We appreciated the excellent customer service. From the bar, We both tried the grey goose vodka with cranberry juice drink which was excellent with a perfect proportion of vodka to juice. This restaurant is always clean, including the bathrooms. This is one of our favorite restaurants for hot food and good service. read more

No response from customer service. Will never go to another Apple Bees. They are a subpar run business. It's unfortunate that some me chain restaurants just dont seem to have any personal dedication to their store. I think I'll stick to hunting for independent owned restaurants. If you look up n Yelp, this restaurant service is subpar read more

This is one of my all time fave restaurants in Camarillo but today was the best days for our waiter who's name is Cesar D was always aware of what we needed or coming by to check on us to see if we needed anything he was a great waiter and he gave us a great experience at Applebee's not excluding any other times we have been here read more

Hit or miss service. Only had a good experience TWO times. Thanks to Crystal & Sean. Everyone else has no sense of urgency. There's been more than one time I've sat there over 10-15 minutes waiting to be greeted. I've walked out twice and wont be back!!!!!! Don't go here unless you have all the time in the world read more

Great service and friendly banter. Loved the spicy Asian buffalo wings, chicken wontons and beef sliders. Sangria and margaritas are great and a fun start to dinner. Very clean. read more

My fiancé and I dined there last night and ordered the 8oz USDA choice top sirloin with tavern mushrooms and onion topper (she got the butter sauce topper. We were completely blown away!! It was honest the best steak perfectly cooked we've had in a long time. We were literally looking across the table from each other wide-eyed. We were not expecting anything exceptional when we visited, but we were pleasantly surprised. Kudos to the chef that night! read more

Thank you to our server Katheryn for being Awesome and making our night out great. It was really appreciated.

I've been frequenting this location lately with friends after 11:00PM for light snacks and/or drinks. We believe the service, food and drinks have been consistently good. Restaurant is always uncrowded at the times we arrive. And the servers/bartenders have always been pleasant. read more

This was my first time to an Applebees in years, and I couldn't remember for the life of me why I had waited so long to go back. Well... the good people at this Applebees were kind enough to remind me. For starters, we received no welcome. The hostess grabbed three menus and showed us to a table in the back. Our waitress showed up 5 minutes later and we ordered a sampler appetizer. It took nearly 20 minutes for it to come out (and mind you, there were maybe 5 other parties in the restaurant). Our chicken wings were cold, the spinach dip seemed to be 10 parts cream to 1 part spinach, the mozzarella in the mozzarella sticks was hard and chewy, and finally the quesadillas... actually, they weren't too bad! The queso cheese and crispy tortillas made for a tasty simple quesadilla. For our meals, we ordered turkey club sandwiches and burger sliders, all with a side of onion rings. My friend who ordered the sliders got through 1 before she said it had such a odd taste she couldn't keep that one burger down. My other friend and I both got the club sandwiches. She finished hers reluctantly because we hadn't eaten all day and it was 3pm in the afternoon. I could barely eat half of my sandwich because it was a tasteless pile of mush. It was so drenched in sauces and slimey cold cuts you couldn't taste a thing. And lastly, the onion rings had such an odd taste to them as well, as if they had been fried in stale oil. Needless to say we also only received a handful of onion rings (literally, we each received 5). This will undoubtedly be my last time at an Applebees. EVER. read more

My family is happy that Applebee's in Camarillo is back and open. Haven't eaten there yet, so this is future review, but will soon. Hours are 11am to midnight or later. So this is great for you guys who are looking for something late since most restaurants in Camarillo close early. read more

I'd like to give this place a 1/2 star, if possible (I'm new on Yelp) First things first, we did not receive a welcome to Applebee's upon entering the restaurant. I had been wondering why I hadn't been to this Applebee's before they closed and after they had opened. Now I know why. The service is shoddy, as it took awhile to be greeted at our table. Restaurant wasn't even that busy, so I didn't understand why our server didn't greet us right away. Everyone at my table had received their drinks in a timely manner, but it took about 20 minutes to receive the water that I ordered. We had to remind the server/waiter to bring my water. As a vegetarian, there aren't that many options for one to order, especially not for the '2 for $20' deal they brag about. Anyway, I ordered pasta from the 2 for 20 deal and asked if I could get the pasta without chicken and the server brings the food. Once he brought the food and after taking a few bites, I noticed that the pasta had bits of bacon minced into the alfredo sauce. When he brought the food, and maybe he was trying to be funny, he stated that my pasta was the way I ordered it, 'chicken and all'. Hahaha, very funny, but I didn't appreciate the sarcasm considering the fact that I was already fuming after the poor excuse for a greeting we received at the door and how long it took to be waited on and receive my water. After our meal, the manager came up to the table and asked how everything was and if there was anything he could do and that he had already deducted a whopping $8 from our bill. The shadiest thing is that he said we wouldn't see the deduction on the bill, we would just know that he deducted $8. Then when we received our bill, we noticed the itemized $8 deduction..Where is the consistency in his gesture? I understand he was being kind in mediating the situation, but his honesty was shady (for lack of a better word). When he asked how everything was..I stated that things were mediocre at best and the waiter should have known that there was bacon in the pasta sauce. The server did not ask us how we were doing during our meal or if we needed anything, we had to flag him down. Meanwhile, the table next to us was receiving stellar customer service from Neil P., who knows why or how this was justified. Also, when Neil came around to take my picked-at salad, he didn't ask if I was done with it, he just took it without asking if I wanted a box or if I was done with my meal. At this point, I just wanted to get out of this place and go home. By the way, the waiter/server's name was Neil P. and the manager Frank Navarro was not too concerned with my overall opinion of the service (as he quickly received my answer and moved on to a different area of the restaurant) or the fact that they messed up my food order AND charged us for the salad at first, then upon noticing that I didn't eat my salad they took the charge off for the salad (nice gesture, but a little late with the customer service). My husband and I, plus the rest of the individuals we inform of this wondrous place are never going to return! I hope this place closes again as their food is bland, service is poor and integrity has been blown to bits. My patience was really tested in this place and I would like to think of myself as a patient and sensible individual. But.. I should have known better as this is a corporate chain which should have stayed closed! What was I thinking? Just say 'No' to Camarillo Applebee's and maybe even the other ones.. read more

Horribleeee service would be an understatement for tonight. To start... My server barely introduced herself, or even said hi for that matter. No personality, no smile, just a server who came across very rude right off the bat. After we waited about 30 minutes to order, she brought me a refill of the wrong drink). Didn't check on us once during the appetizer. Once we got our food (which was served in a decent amount of time, by a different server) she didn't check on us once! Oh, and she forget part of my meal too. Anyways, during the entire meal and not once did she think to ask us how the food was or if she could get us anything. And she walked by us numerous times!!! Towards the end, I had to ask the manager for a take out box, because again she was no where to be found. When the bill came, I told her I had a gift card, and asked her what to do and she said she didn't know. I asked her "well.. Can you ask a manager?" And she rudely walked away. She dropped the check off at the table after she figured out how to pay the damn bill, and didn't say thank you, have a good night. Nothing. Now, I usually am not one to complain but as soon as I left I asked to speak to the manager and told him about my horrible dining experience (on my son's birthday, mind you) and he didn't apologize for the behavior or anything. He did say thank you for letting him know but that's as far as that went. Very rude and very unprofessional. I have been to this location a few different occasions, because I love the food, but unfortunately I always have pretty shitty service. Tonight topping it all. But, this was my last time. Thank you Applebees for ruining my dinner experience with my kids, on my son's birthday! Word of advice for Applebees.... Hire better servers. Word of advice for future diners.... McDonald's would give you better service than here. read more

I am writing this review as I sit here in Applebee's Camarillo right now and let me tell I'm very disappointed in the service. They had us waiting for 15 minutes, before my server showed up .The customer service is bad . read more

I heard Applebee's reopened and went there because I was planning to go to Souplantation but forgot my coupons. Now I remember why I didn't go to Applebee's much before it closed. I just don't like their food. Most of the menu doesn't appeal to me. I got some BBQ pork sliders today that were so dry and salty, it was like eating not yummy beef jerky in-between bread. The fries it came with were old and kinda stale, getting cold, and also extremely salty. I drank 2 glasses of water but was still thirsty. However the server was nice. read more
