Best Applebees that I've gone to, great service and great food. Like coming here on the weekends when I visit Oxnard or the camarillo outlets when I come from LA. Every once in a while I stop here and eat some lunch. read more

What can I say about a chain location. You definitely need to try the new menu!! Great server hence the three stars! Ask for Amy if she is available!!! read more

While the waitress was pleasant that is all that was good about the experience. The food took forever and was substandard. We ended up leaving without eating our entrees, and we were really hungry. Thankfully they did not charge us. read more

Always treats us good. We usually come in with a large group after our church service and they always take care of us even though it's getting close to closing time for them. read more

This is our second time here and is been consistent with service and great food, this time I order Cedar lemon chicken and is amazing & healthy. The waitress was very attentive as well as the manager. The manager was working along side of the wait staff, what a great restaurant team. That made our whole dining experience amazing. read more

I read all the reviews and don't get it. This place is pretty darn good. It's all good bar/restaurant grub. They do have some healthy options and good drinks of all sorts. Prices are good. Service is friendly, fast and attentive. That being said I always sit at the bar. All the food I have have had is tasty and the prices are just right. Good place to go chill and grab a bite to eat. read more

Food was less than average, surprised as I had eaten here a few years ago, I had the Chinese Chicken Salad, the dressing was definately off, my hubby had a hamburger, it was extremely dry. The worst part of the entire meals was one of the waitresses proceeded to VACUUM the floors as we were waiting for our food, I had to get up and explain to her that yes we were offended by the heavy dust in the air. Took 20 mins to get a warm up/refill of my coffee, WE WON'T BE BACK!! read more

We had lunch at the Camarillo Applebees yesterday. The hostess opened the door for us & seated us promptly. My husband ordered the all you can eat shrimp and ribs. Our waiter informed us that Applebees cannot bring the shrimp and ribs at the same time, you must finish your shrimp before they can place the order for your second selection. It took over 10 min before they brought the ribs. The order of ribs was ridiculously small & the ribs were tough. After finishing the ribs we waited quite a while for anyone to return to our table to order more shrimp. This time, my husband got his shrimp in a timely manner - all 6 of them accompanied by a huge 1/2 plate of French fries. Our waiter was working the bar and was much more concerned about tips from the bar patrons than waiting tables. We needed to place a TO GO order and I had to wave at the waiter in order to get his attention. We have enjoyed our monthly lunches at Applebee's for 2 yrs. however, yesterday was such a negative experience we won't be returning to Applebees anytime soon. When a restaurant has an all you can eat special they should honor their advertisement, not make their customer feel as though it's aggravating to wait on them. It's such a shame this happened to us. Applebees has lost 2 monthly customers. read more

We received a gift card for Applebees and decided to try the reopened Applebees here in Camarillo, CA. I am giving it a 1 due to the poor service provided by our waitress and the food tasted like it was a pre-frozen dinner reheated, like the dinners you find in the freezer section of any grocery store. My husband's Fiesta Chicken was barely warm, and my stuffed meatballs in marinara suace was so spicy and acidic I wasn't able to eat it. The waitress never asked if we want more tea and even though she saw my plate had been barely touched she didn't ask if there was a problem. Her attitude was she really didn't want to be there. The waitress that delivered our desserts was awesome and the shooter desserts were yummy. My forecast is they won't be open long by the standards I saw on 7/16/11. read more

Worst customer service iv ever experienced! Our waitress was missing half the time (she was so rude) and when I went to get a drink from the bar the bar tender asked where our waitress was and said "I guess I can help you!" We will not be going back! read more

Great is honestly Just OK.... Garlic chicken pasta is REALLY BLAN. Not a good choice on menu. I will probably pass on coming back to Applebee's read more

I sat at the bar and Alisa, our bartender, gave us excellent service. The orange dream drink was amazing! The food was pretty good too. I'd come here again! :) read more

I went to this applebees on 2 consecutive Saturdays for dinner with my girlfriend. We were warmly welcomed. No issues in getting seated. The waitress was friendly in taking orders. Our orders came in at pretty good time. The food also tasted good and fresh. Overall it was a good experience. Nothing bad to tell about. read more

Was are 1st time, at this location, service was great, and the food was great. John are waiter was great, very busy place. Will be back, since the one in Ventura is gone, for some reason. Love it. read more

My wife and I we nt to Applebee's last night and ordered some food. I ordered the half salsa Verde shredded brisket nachos that did not have shredded but cube meat. They arise after my wife order and they were cold. The waitress named Paige Just Threw Her Orders On The VAR QND The almost Slide Off The bar. Also she sat at the end of the bar and played with her phone. I would not order the nachos again. read more

Second time here, started a weekly trend coming every Friday or Saturday since it's just a few miles up the road from my job with coworkers. Service is great and we never wait long for our order. Food is also great! The first time I had a chicken salad and shrimp pasta which is one of my faves! This time I ordered their "All Day Burger" which has hash towns and a fried egg which is pretty good BUT I gave them 4 stars because although it was okay it was very bland..moist but bland..like literally had no seasoning, no taste at all.... AND I ordered onion rings instead of fries and they literally gave me 5 onion rings and I'm not talking about the huge onion rings that restaurants can get away with giving 5. No their onion rings are small and to top it off have like no onion in them and were very hard, didn't taste fresh at all but they have pretty good cocktails. Last time I ordered a blackberry sangria which was pretty tasty and this time I ordered a sunset margarita which is now one of my faves and AppleBee go to's for now on. So my only complaint would be ..I wouldn't go to Apple Bees and order a burger anymore and they could be a little more satisfying with their portions although it's enough to fill me up I didn't pay for a meal for 5 small hard onion rings. This trip a little disappointed but overall it's pretty good with great service. read more

Well It had been a while since going to an Applebee's and we had a gift card so what the heck. I wish I would have regifted the card. Starting with the hostess, didn't talk to us at all, just expected us to follow. We got a few appetizers and one was ok, the cheese burger egg rolls, pretzels were not good, and green been were fried in old oil. The fries were super greasy. My wife had some weird chicken dish that looked like it was a nice blend of ingredients but came out as a half cooked weird dish. The only reason they got 2 stars was the mixed drink my wife ordered was perfect and very strong, but I guess that's on purpose... read more

We stopped in during happy hour to grab a bite to eat and ordered the 4 Cheese Mac n Cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders and it was awful. It was really sweet and runny and the chicken was overcooked and burnt and not sliced up like it showed. I really would like to only give 2 stars but the service was great and that means a lot. read more

First time ordering Applebee's and I've got to say I wasn't disappointed. My boyfriend and I ordered the 2 for $22 Car-Side to-go. When you compare to the usual $20+ we normally spend on drive thru food, it was a great alternative. Plus you can't get wings in a drive through. They delivered right to my car out side and because they ran less than 10 minutes late the server, Cheyenne, offered me a free large drink to go. 4 stars only because the food is fast food drive through quality.. but I will be back due to the convenience and service. read more

On my list of favorite restaurants to revisit..Applebees has slipped. A single lady alone, ignored until everyone else is, served, tables cleaned, fresh coffee to those just finishing their lunch before everyone else is seated and asked if everything is ok. Be right with you, finally aknowledged after 9 minutes of standing by the door. No hi, welcome, nothing. Walk right by. No eye contact. The next person to walk by had a broom and dust pan. From the look on her face I expected her to ask what I was doing there. She did. I asked if I could sit down. For one? Yes. For One. The only empty booth had coats strewn all over it so I asked if I could sit somewhere else. Ok. Seated. Yes! A young man named Cesar came after another long wait. Asked if I would like a drink, yes please, Iced tea, extra ice? Never came back. Busy with other things. I finally walked over to the bar and asked if I could get that iced tea. "I'm getting it right now". He said. Never happened. The broom girl was sent to bring a warm iced tea, ice melted. I asked if Im sitting in the wrong place to take an order. Is server available? Finally it happened. Thai shrimp salad a bit wilted arrived. Tomato basil soup was good. Bottom line. Us old ladies must remember where we are..this is not Hawaii so don't come expecting aloha.

Today on August 20,2013 I had the worse service I've ever had I was there over an hour and no one came to check on us, or refill our water. I rate the service as a 1/2 star read more

There are a lot of restaurants to choose from these days. Some people based their decisions on word of mouth. Please allow me to tell you my story about this restaurant, not once, but 3 times because I try to give the benefit of the doubt. It was my wife's birthday 2 days ago. I asked them to surprise her and sing happy birthday to her. Not only did they NOT honor my request to sing to her, they brought her chicken that was still pink inside. This rude service, unprofessional and downright unsanitary food has happen enough times. I'm done with this place!! I understand some people may have a great experience, I'm happy for you, but this place is horrible and to top if off, ruined my wife's birthday dinner which is not cool with me at all!!! read more

The happy hour food, drinks, and service are really good, but the real dark lighting and "old people" music in the bar area needs to change, because if not, customers will go elsewhere...if they change that...they get 5 stars from me... read more

Overall great customer service but horrible food. Pretty cookie cutter flavor with no real effort into it. The waiters were great but the quality of the food just diminished the place. Would never go back there again read more

Naomi is the best.. so kind, so attentive and so caring. Love her, go see her. Service was great

Great food, great ambience. Line's are pretty much out the door all the time, but that's for every Applebee's. Ask for Justin, he's the Best in the West as far as servers go. He's so down to earth and legitimately cares about you. He's also a very successful chef so he knows exactly how to describe flavors, medium/medium well, etc. read more

I must start out by saying that my server, Casey, was incredibly professional and sweet. That's where the good experiences stopped. I ordered an iced tea and it tasted like there was dirty dishwater in it. I didn't notice anything in the smell but the flavor definitely had something foul in it. I asked my server to exchange it comma which she did thankfully. I ordered a chicken dish on a plate that burnt my hand. I believe it was the manager that brought it out to me and he did warn me that the plate was hot comma but I didn't realize that it would be scolding hot, and fresh out of the microwave. What I really don't understand is how nice slab of gelatinous chicken, which most likely comes in Frozen, could have been pink on the inside. I ate around it, and inspected every piece I ate to make sure that it was fully cooked. The mash potatoes and the onion strings as well as the chicken all had a very bad chemically aftertaste. I was originally planning on ordering and dessert with my dinner, but I didn't want to risk getting yet another bad day. I'm very thankful that they were open so late at night since I work late, but at this point McDonald's taste better. I would even go as far as saying that shriveled up 7-Eleven hot dog would have been a more tasty and satisfying meal. read more

Very busy but when I told Marisol that I had to go to work and not much time, she was on it, and took my order.. tomato basil soup. FRESH crisp, garden salad. Hot, homemade style breadstick, real butter, and tall glass of iced tea. Every thing delicious. Made it to work in plenty of time. Thanks Marisol! Ok read more

Worse service ever. We waited forever Finally we just asked for the food to go. Our waiter was super sweating and he was a heavy guy and his stomach hanging out under his shirt, not attractive should of had a longer shirt but mostly service sucked. Will never go back. read more

Visited the reopened Applebees on Veterans Day. The place was packed, but the staff was attentive. We were told our wait would be 30 min...not real pleased, but everyone was being seated long before the time table given. The staff was extremely busy but still very amicable, and all appeared to be in good spirits. Our orders were taken by Jennifer in a timely fashion. We were seated approx. 1250, but our food did not arrive until approx. 1350 an hour later...and that was only the first of four plates. The other plates came one at a time, while other tables seemed to receive all of their plates at the same time. The waitress (Jennifer) informed the manager there was a problem getting our food; the mgr immediately took command of the situation. Despite the late arrival it should be remembered that the waitress has no control over the cooking staff. She did her job and did it well. When other tables were receiving their orders in a timely fashion (those arriving after our seating) she got management involved. The manager addressed the issue and personally apologized for the situation. One plate was returned twice because of allergies to a particular item on the plate; we made sure they understood the plate was being returned the first time because of allergies. The mgr assured us he would address this problem with the cook or the one in charge of the kitchen. It's important to note Frank (the Mgr) was personally taking care of the customer at this point. The sincerity of the waitress and the reaction of the manager when the plate was not correct made it clear they were concerned for the customer's well-being. The food, overall, tasted great. Despite the mishaps we will be going back. Jennifer received her hard earned tip and our thanks for making our wait pleasant. If Frank Navarro and Jennifer are indicative of the management and wait staff then Applebees' standards have taken a step up. read more

The food is alright, on the same line of Chili's...the bartenders were very nice and the drinks were made well, plus each night at the bar they have different special, such as industry night, ladies night, margarita nights n the such! This is a relatively new location, and only one of two still open. read more

I like the service, the food is consistently good, prices are fair. JUST DON'T order the french dip from Curb Side, it's bad.

Bad service, we waited way too long when there was MANY open booths and tables available,we ended up leaving because it took so long and nobody said a word even though waiters clearly saw us leaving. Very disappointing, if I could give them a worse review I would. -100/10 read more

This is the third time I took the family there. We were crammed into a booth to small all three times. The problem with a chair on the end of the table is that there is not enough room for everyone to eat comfortably, besides aren't there fire codes regarding blocking an isle? All THREE steaks were cooked wrong. The cook obviously has no idea what rare is. This is what they do for a living. Why can't they get it right? read more

Good food bad service, I ordered at 6:10 (via phone) they said food will be ready in 20 min I get to take out parking at 6:25 and waiting until 7:02 I get my food and when I get home at 7:10 my food is cold and I'm missing my buffalo chicken wings..smh.. and that's why I'm giving it a 1 star.. read more

We decided to stay in Camarillo and have a little summer beach weekend so when it came to dinner time we wanted to eat somewhere we knew would be a safe bet and decided to check out the local Applebee's. We definitely made the right choice. This location has recently reopened and the restuarant looks nice from the outside and the inside. There's a very friendly staff and our server was great about refills and kept the beer flowing. I ordered Margherita Chicken which came with piping hot garlic mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. My boyfriend ordered the Asiago Peppercorn Steak and was prepared just right with plenty of spicy peppercorns for that extra kick. We also indulged a tiny bit with the Triple Chocolate Meltdown and it was everything we had hoped a rich chocolate dessert to be. We even saw a cute little bunny in the grass when we walked out to our car. What else can you ask for in a restaurant? It was a great experience and it really hit the spot. Next time you're on the 101 and you're looking for a good place to refuel that's also open late, you won't be disappointed at this Applebee's. =D read more

Went to Applebees based on an ad that veterans' entrees were free today. My wife and I went to see a large crowd waiting outside. Wait was about 30 minutes (45-60 minutes were estimated by the hostess) and service was fast and courteous. Veteran's menu had good selections. I chose the chicken pasta and my wife enjoyed the salmon on the regular menu. We shared the triple chocolate cake dessert which was excellent. First free meal I ever had as a veteran after 28 years of service. Well done Applebees for thanking our vets and families! read more

Only reason I come here is because there is not another Applebee's near by for me to get Won-ton Tacos... but every time I am here the service is extremely bad... wait staff doesn't attend the tables equally, they seem to only go to particular tables more and forget about the rest. Food half the time comes out room temperature or not at all and you have to remind them and remind them about getting your drink refilled after it's been sitting empty at the side of the table for the past 10 minutes. Please get your staff to pay attention to the patrons and be sure the food is fresh. Nobody likes their hot food cold. read more

I have not been here in years but thought let's give it a go. When we ordered we asked if our fries could be hot...well we got our burger not hot and fries later..anyhow the food was just mediocre and we will not go back..when paying almost 50.00 for a meal come on folks it should be enjoyable...Our server Richard, did not ever once smile or come back to see if everything was OK until we were done..what happened to service? I was a waitress for years, people are going to a restaurant to have a nice experience not feel as though we r doing them a favor by coming to their restaurant..I'm getting so tired of spending my hard earned money at these glorified fast food restaurants. read more

It took a bit long to get seated even though there were plenty of open tables. The bartender and servers did not appear to be busy but did not greet or seat us for at least 10 minutes. It was an awkwardly long time to be stared at and not have anyone acknowledge your presence. It took so long to be seated that we were debating about alternative restaurants to go to. Service was okay. We had the baby back ribs and the mac and cheese, which were okay but not something I would keep coming back for especially if we are treated this way. read more
