This was the worst... We sat at the bar that had many empty seats but full of dirty dishes. We sat down and had to have it wiped. It took a while for our beer order not to mention that we watched the bartender get a glass from the dirty dishes around the bar and rinse it to serve one of our beers. Our food didn't take long but it was bland and the croutons on our salad were stale. I only picked at my food. Never finished it. The bartender never asked how we were doing, noticed I didn't finish but didn't ask. He just hung around and did not even bother to clean the counter from previous customers. It was filthy and disgusting. Our very last time we will ever eat at Applebee's. read more

Took my husband for his birthday, just low key, and this place was open late, comfortable, good noise levels, the wait staff was pleasant and prompt, the food was tasty, the drinks kept coming. But the best part was when we got the bill - not much more than a fast food place would charge these days, and this in a nice establishment. Birthday guy says, "I think we found a new favorite place here in Camarillo!" read more

I decided to take my cousin here a month ago after shopping at the Camarillo Premium Outlet since she mentioned that she's never been to Applebee's before. I've been to the one in Alhambra just for drinks and appetizers a few years ago and thought the place was okay. We walked in and got seated right away. My cousin saw their 2 for $20 deal which came with 2 entrees and an appetizer which was a good deal (at least i think so!). We got the mozerella sticks for appetizers; it was pretty good, I mean it's mozerella sticks! Cousin got the 3 Cheese Chicken Penne which was pretty good. I ended up getting the 7 oz Sirloin steak, which was shockingly not that bad. *Service was just okay. read more

Well the service was good but the food was awful. Went for lunch and ordered a cheese burger and fries. The hamburger was way over seasoned not just a ton of salty but some kind of seasoning. To the point of a burning sensation. The French fries were also terrible. Never had fries that were chewy and hard at the same time. Like chewing on leather. Bummer for the staff that has to serve that poor food. read more

No to low expectations due to word of mouth but I swear by the perfectly cooked steak that was better than an outback's. The service was great and the people around were original. Fun place to be in. read more

I stopped for lunch here on March 3rd. 2022. I was promptly seated in a booth by the window. Within minutes I was freezing from the aggressive A/C. I moved to another booth, it was just as bad. So I was seated at a table in the same area, no better. The hostess then seated me in another location which was a big improvement. I enquired why the A/C was so high to which the hostess replied to counter the heat coming through the glass. Hmmm, expensive. I ordered the Chicken Brocalli Alfredo it arrived quickly and was very nice. However, where I was now seated was almost directly below a "Bose" speaker and it was blaring. Also, the selection of tunes was tripe. Someone turned it down at some point which helped a lot. Time to go. My waitress (Sandra) who had stopped by on a few occasions stopped by to see if I required anything else, "just the Check, please I replied" She tapped this "thing" resembling an iPad sitting on the table and said, "There you are". "Oh, I plan on paying cash I said", "no problem" was the reply and she was gone. Ten minutes later still no check. I had gathered my belongings and had a hundred-dollar bill ready on the table, but no Sandra or check. Eventually, I was able to flag her down by waving the C note. And the wait begins again. In total it took twenty-five minutes to cash out and exit. I feel Applebees were penalizing me for not using their automated system. I can't afford to wait this amount of time on my lunch break to cash out. something I will have to remember should I ever decide to return to an Applebees. read more

No grill marks at all,looks steamy ! Ribletts plate in honey sauce were just rubbed rib bones on honey bbq! No planning on coming back to this location! read more

I've been here several times with my boyfriend and most of the time it's ok, but last night was terrible. We got to the restaurant around 7pm. There were several tables available but none where my boyfriend could see the Red Sox game. We chose to wait for a booth and when taken there was no one else sitting in the section so we asked the waitress if we could change the nearest tv to the Red Sox game. She said yes and we noticed the staff changing the channel. To the wrong game. By the time the waitress came back there were two more booths taken and when I told her about the mistake she said someone else had requested a tv change. I didn't notice any ghosts in the DEAD section when we sat down but ok. We ended up moving to a different table to fix this problem at my request not her suggestion. She looked annoyed and didn't come near us the rest of the night. Next, our waiter. It took him 10 minutes to bring our drinks after ordering them and another 15 minutes to come back and take our order. He and the MANAGER on duty walked by our table several times throughout the night without stopping to ask if we needed anything or to even notice the empty drink cups or plates we shoved to the end of the table to try to get someone's attention. I finally had to flag down and ask a runner to find our waiter (he brought us someone else who was very nice and refilled the three drinks and cleared the plates). This got our actual waiters attention and he came back to take a drink order but then walked by our table three times before actually bringing it to us. Finally, the food. I ordered brisket tacos which I have ordered before, but last night they were TERRIBLE and I basically left a full plate on the table. The tacos were cold and mainly consisted of cheese and little onions rings. There was a tiny bit of meat hidden under a ton of bbq sauce. Very gross. I also tried the special zombie drink they have advertising for October. It's a really good JUICE cause there's no way there was even a splash of alcohol in it. Needless to say this little date night/game night would have been better anywhere else. read more

Each table has a credit card machine. Each machine has a clear label that says each machine is wiped down after every meal. Looking at my machine I could see fingerprints all over it. Glancing at ALL the machines I can see fingerprints. Told the manager about it and he simply looked at me with a blank face and walked away. Never coming h to this filthy place again read more

Came on a Wednesday night and was surprised to see a full restaurant but we were seated right away and our server was very attentive throughout the night. We came for $10 buckets but unfortunately they don't have them. Our server recommended the perfect margarita, and it truly was one of the best margaritas I've tried. I also got the passion on the beach drink which was only $6 and came in a huge cup. It tasted delicious and I thought there wasn't a lot of alc in there but it definitely hit me hard on the way home. For food I split the crispy shrimp with my partner and we upgraded to waffle fries on the side. It came with a good portion of shrimp and they were cooked very well, juicy but with a nice bite. Waffle fries came in a very small portion but taste so much better than the regular fries. Also tried the mozzarella sticks which were pretty solid. Overall, it was a nice vibe and I'd come back for some cheap drinks and apps read more

The food was barely ok. The s we ver was nice. Ordered a glass of wine and when the bill came, I was up charged. I was never asked, but charged 2.00 mor ex g f or a larger glass. It was removed from the bill, but if I hadn't checked/ asked/remembered, The restaurant would have gotten away with an upcharge. Check your bill before paying. Won't be going back. read more

I'd give this place a 3.5. I haven't been to Applebee's in such a long time. Came here after a long day of browsing at the outlets. Rubi was our server. We decided to order the 2 for $22 meal. It came with one appetizer and two entrees. Ordered the mozzarella sticks. It came with marinara sauce and ranch. I thought the ranch was weird. Ordered the chicken salad and the 6oz sirloin with garlic mashed potatoes and french fries. To drink I ordered the mango lemonade- so good. Food was good, just a regular good old Applebee's. Rubi was on top of the refills. read more

Drive out of town with family in Camarillo for soccer game and after game decided To eat at local Applebees since we recognize the name but have not eaten in any Applebees past 15+ years and first time with kids. Place was nice, could use little upgrade but the service, food, beer, and even the check out was right one. Food was good, better than other large chains, they had IPA large on draft, kids where happy, I watched the Baseball ( go Dodgers!) in there multi tvs. if we are in this area again, we will stop and get dinner. read more

My wife and I went into applebees. We were seated immediately. Then we sat there for 15 minutes. No one even offered us drinks. I asked the host if anyone was working? He said they were busy. But no one was waiting to be seated. So that wasn't it. We ended up walking out without ordering. Worst service ever they don't even deserve a star read more

We stopped there for a drink and appetizer. The place was busy and just felt like a happy place. We really like the layout of the bar and restaurant. Friendly and efficient service. Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

I just wanted to show my appreciation for all the staff: servers, bartenders, managers, and the ones who cooked the food for all of us today. I saw how busy you guys were, but you guys put up a great team. Well done and thank you! read more

Great drinks had me feeling right. I will be going back in the near future. Also had great food that night as well.

Had a really good meal. Beef dip and cheeseburger were very good. We wish we had an Apple Bees near us.

Got a great promotion going on (any steak you can 12 fried shrimp) Just had a great tasting ribeye with the shrimp. Very delicious

I ordered pasta with chicken & what I got was pasta w/o chicken. I called the manager & he said that's how I ordered it. My order on my app as well as my receipt shows chicken, broccoli pasta. Manager was not helpful at all. Will not return. read more

Terrible service! The waiter sat us down in the far back (I'm guessing because we had a child) and no server ever came up to us. We waited 30 min before deciding to leave.. the last straw for me was when a couple came in 10 min after we did and got help right away... read more

So my wife and I were craving mozzarella sticks so I mentioned APPLEBEES has pretty good ones. So we decide to go get some. We get home started eating them and BAM what do I see dangling from my mozzarella stick as I'm about to take a bite....... some metal from a STEEL WOOL!!!!! I didn't even know those were authorized in food service places due to this reason. Most likely in this case yall may want to speak with the employee that cleaned the fryer. read more

Been coming to this location for a few yrs now and the food is steadily in a decline. Went just yesterday for quick dinner for wife and myself. Service was great our waitress Priscilla was great. Wonton tacos were more like coleslaw tacos than anything else wide steak was over done and my whiskey burger that was suppose to be medium came out and to my surprise was a smash burger instead of a patty. Not sure when this was changed over to that style but it was way over as well. This location has always been a hit or miss bit I'm pretty sure this is it for me and the fam. As last time our endless wings weren't very good and the mgr was super rude every time he went to drop off our food he seemed annoyed as he had to helpout his staff as I normally see him justvwalk around doing nothing. It a shame as it was pretty good place to go and now makes sense why the staff has changed so much and before I used to see the same ppl. read more

I will never come back to Applebees, the staff is lazy and not helpful. I waited over 15 minutes for my drink. My appetizer arrived before my drink and when I bit into the chicken wings it was raw and I spit it out. When I told the waitress she looked at me like I was crazy and asked if I wanted to speak to a manager. The manager slowly walked over 5 minutes later and again looked at me like I was crazy instead of comping the appetizer he offered a discount. Then I waited an additional 20 minutes for my entree my entree was good but my brothers buns were burnt. Biggest waste of time and money. I highly recommend you don't go to Applebees. read more

Waitress was sweet and polite but took forever to get our food and when we did it was cold and wrong so after asking to get what we ordered 20 minutes later the other half of us got our food drinks never got refilled until we were about to leave and when manager asked how was everything she had a excuse for everything. Service was just bad and seemed all the tables around us were in the same situation Applebee's is probably a once a year thing when I get a craving for riblets I probably honestly won't be going back ever read more

really slow service i was there for over an hour just to get undercooked wings. manager gave me a replacement but was very turned off by the whole situation. read more

This shit sucks. Frankie was chill tho. He's the only good employee. The wings were not unlimited. The dude who looked like Cory Harrison from pawn stars was working and was shit. He just watched me eat my wings the whole damn time. read more

We were sat at a table fairly quickly for a group of 8 at 5:15pm. Our server Ethan came over and asked for our drink order in a reasonable time and returned promptly. Then we ordered dinner...That's where it went down hill! We waited 30 minutes for our salads, then we asked "where are the salads??" Oh no our food runners did not bring these out, sorry! Oh then immediately after half of the table was served their hot appetizers while the other half sat for another 10-15 minutes waiting for the rest of the appetizers. 4 people were quick to jump when they realized how long our table had been sitting there. 3 other tables had been served before us and had been sat after us. They served 6 of us and left the oldest and youngest plates on HOLD?? Now it was a computer glitch that caused the problem. Seriously??? Ok so now we all have food. Most of the food was good. My steak and vegetables was completely under cooked and way too salty. The server was amazing. He did everything he possibly could but ultimately. Ethan was great very friendly. The experience overall was NOT GOOD! read more

We were secret shoppers for this location before it closed down and re-opened. We have never had a bad experience through all these years and know what to expect when visiting. Service is always good and I like the atmosphere. However, the food just does not taste all that great. read more

Wow when a difference. It is like there is a whole different crew at applebee's than there was before the pandemic. I have to tell you I like the new staff. They were so welcoming and so friendly and very accommodating.. The management team there is awesome. I forget the manager that spoke with us for a while he was amazing he was tined in Very engaging and hes a Beatles fan you gotta love him.. The food was cooked exactly right.

Went about a week ago and the service was great! As soon as we walked in the door the waitress came straight over and got us to our booth. Drinks came out quick and the mozzarella sticks are the best!! Meals came out pristine. Thank you guys for a great night, we'll be back again. read more

Came here tonight at 9pm to eat with a friend. the place is half full an people are waiting and the host Who had us standing there for 5mins told us there was going to be a 45 min wait. For restaurants I would be taking everyone and anyone. But you know what we will take our business and money else where. read more

We've had two terrific meals here -- sirloin steak, and then the other time we got prime rib sandwiches au jus. Delicious and, no offense to a chain, a bit unexpected. The staff is friendly and the manager, Erik, is exceptional. He's clear-spoken, listens, and wants to make sure customers are satisfied. That means a lot. We'll absolutely be back (although thanks to Covid, it will probably be mostly takeout for the time being). read more

Decent food. Fair prices. Good lunch and dinner specials. Service was good. There is a tablet on each table that can be used to order and pay for your meal. We did not use it to order but did use it to pay. Kinda cool. There are also games available for a fee. I had a Bloody Mary it was good and spicy. For my meal I went with the bourbon chicken and shrimp which came with roasted potatoes. I was satisfied with my meal. My boyfriend had the double crunch shrimp which he enjoyed. I stole a couple of his fries and I wanted more. What I like here is their menu with a variety of foods and deals. 2 for $20 deals and lunch specials. There is something for everyone. Soups, salads, appetizers, sandwiches, steak, chicken, fish, pasta etc etc. a large drink menu too. Car side to go service available and online ordering. read more
