Three out of four of our meals were wrong. Our server was very sweet but to busy. The food took a long time and to get our check took even longer because the computer at the end of our table was broken. Definitely won't be going back there. read more

So. Normally we enjoy our meals here but not today. The food was good but at the end of the meal (and this is not the first time) their credit card machine was not working. We had to wait half an hour in which we were basically held hostage! They wouldn't give us our card back or take a check. How long were we supposed to wait? Apparently thirty minutes. Also the waitress rolled her eyes at us when we complained. We have gone there at least every other week for four years but now we'll be taking a little break! read more

We come here quite often for happy hour, the Brisket Quesadillas and Chicken Won Ton tacos are so delicious! My grandkids enjoy the mozzerella cheese sticks and BBQ chicken wings. The Bahama Mama drink is so yummy and my guy enjoys his beer! All around, always a good time and a full belly! read more

I feel bad for the great wait staff who are forced to serve the low quality food offered at Applebee's. I haven't been to any Applebee's restaurant since I was a teenager but found myself here due to a gathering I was attending. The food quality is lacking not only in the freshness of the ingredients but also the recipes themselves. It's really a perfect storm of bottom dollar tactics by implementing simple recipes that are easy for line-cooks new to the business and easy to mass produce, package, ship, and distribute. Cameron Park needs more small business restaurants owned by people with a passion for cuisine not these chain food franchises. If you're used to eating TV dinners you might find the food here worth the high prices/low quality. read more

Why we love Applebee's= Janie! We don't frequent too often because we live up the hill quite aways but when we do visit and we get Janie as our server, it is such a wonderful experience. Her smile lightens the room and she's always so friendly and helpful. If you ask her about menu items, she always tells you what's good- she has never steered us wrong. We eat out 3-4 times a week and never have the pleasure of getting such awesome service as Janie gives us. We don't know her personally but she treats us like friends. Go to Applebee's and ask for Janie. Tell her " Celine Dion" sent you :) read more

Me and my husband have been to this Applebees several times and have had great service and food every time. We were surprised to see their low rating. The pretzel stick and dip is very good and I recommend their wraps and crispy chicken salad too. We will definitely go back! read more

This restaurant has made some excellent changes in the past month. Must have someone new in the kitchen !!! Before a month ago I did not think I would ever eat here again.... But that has all changed. Thank you for the recent changes. I will for sure be eating here again and again :) !! read more

The food for all Applebees seem to have gone down hill. Wait staff seemed nice, but there was some stuff lacking.

Only giving 1 star because I have to. Place sucks. Service sucks. Food used to be good but that sucks too. Save your time and money. Go somewhere else! Even an Applebees somewhere else would probably be better, but this one in Cameron park sucks! read more

I waited 40 minutes for a chicken parmesan and it tasted bad and then I waited for another 45 minutes that still tasted bad.

We have eaten here several time because we wanted to give them the benefit. Nope terrible service, cold food, overcooked shrimp, stale chips and the place is just dirty. Took over 1 hr to get our food the last time we were here; for burgers. Will not return read more

Last night was our first time dining at this Applebee's restaurant. The service was phenomenal! Our server Becky was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of. My boyfriend and I are both vegetarians and were looking at possibly just getting side dishes. I asked Becky about vegetarian options so she went to the kitchen to find out for us and we were delighted to know that they offered veggie burgers! The food was good but the service was even better. She was genuinely happy to serve us and was a pure delight. I've been to multiple Applebee's over time and this location was by far the best experience I've had. Thank you Becky for your attentiveness and sweet demeanor! read more

Been sitting here for an hour waiting for our food and our server comes up and says he forgot to put our order in. Beyond irritated... nothin else is opened so stayed. But don't even wanna waste the money on something I have been sitting here for an hour for... horrible service read more

Worst customer service of any restraunt in this area. It took 30 minutes to be seated in a fairly empty store, 30 minutes for two of us to get a house salad and another 45 to get our (5 of us) lunches. People who came in behind us were served and out by the time we got our food. When the waiter did bring our food we asked what the delay was and he walked away! I think it was the manager?!!! No apology, no explanation. We weren't looking for a comp, we just thought they could have at least come by to apologize. read more

My family and I went to Applebee's for dinner at 8PM on a Wednesday night. It appeared that they were only seating half of the restaurant at that time. An employee walked us past many open tables to the farthest table from the front door. We sat down. I then noticed that just behind my wife's head was a server station and I had a direct view of the men's room. The men's room door opened shining bright fluorescent light into my eyes, a restaurant employee walked out, and I had a clear view of a toilet from my seat. I was not going to be able to enjoy a meal looking at the interior of a restroom. We left the restaurant before a server greeted us. I have found Applebee's food to be JUST OKAY; not bad, but not great. We eat there on occasion when we cant come to a decision where else to eat. I don't know if the employee sat us there intentionally or did not realize how undesirable that table was. I don't know who designed the dining room of that restaurant, but I think that person should be forced to eat at that table. read more

Just finished eating here for my husband's birthday dinner with family and we had the worst service. I tried to steer my family clear from this place but everyone wanted to give it a chance. The server failed to give out the proper information when ordering. I have worked in the food industry and I felt as if I was working with a rookie who did not get proper training. He went missing after dropping off our appetizers for a good 15 mins when we were missing another appetizer order and then told us that appetizer has an extra charge but didn't mention it while taking the order. We didn't get plates to eat our appetizers, we had to eat on our napkins. I even got up looking for him to get plates and he was no where to be found. Terrible service! That alone ruins a dining experience. Eat at your own risk. Hope nobody in our party gets sick. (previous reviews below.) read more

It's applebees... If your expecting 5 stars your rating scale is off. the staff is always helpful and nice. Great service and never a long wait. read more

I had the Whiskey Bacon burger for lunch a couple days ago. I can give it a 5 star. And they listened to me about cooking the way I like it. It was to go. So haven't tried anything else yet. This was in Cameron Park. read more

Meh.. I dine at this Applebee's for its convenience (ie: location/hours), thats about it. The customer service AND food are 'very' hit or miss. One bonus is their Happy Hour menu. read more

Well, as usual, Applebees maintains their standard of mediocre service and poor food. Went for lunch as we thought the 2 for 2 menu would be fast and decent. Were we wrong! The server came over quickly and took out drink orders and upon delivering the drinks, took our food order. The 3 of us ordered from the 2 for 2 menu - soups and salads and 1 soup and Reuben. It took almost 25 minutes for this simple order to arrive. Once the food arrived, I have to say that mine (soup/reuben) was less than wonderful. The French onion soup has a HUGE glob of cheese on top for the size of the bowl and very little actual soup. The 1/2 Reuben was bordering on nasty! The corned beef was so 'wet' that the toasted bread was soggy, very little sauce and the sauerkraut tasted old. During lunch, the manager came by to ask if all was OK. NO eye contact and POOF she was away before I could even say a word. When the server came by to collect the plates, I mentioned my concerns about my lunch and he looked horrified! I could see him go over to talk to the manager (not a good idea to be in line of sight to the guest) and I could see her shrug her shoulders. Good going I thought....That's hospitality! The check was presented and I was informed by the server "she gave you a little off". Little it was for a mostly inedible meal! All I can say is BYE-BYE Applebees! Nada Mas! read more

We enjoy this place. Their Covid standards surprised me, even wiping down my credit card for to-go. Never had a problem with their food. Not sure why other people are so critical. Applebee's has cheap food that's tasty, and their $1 drinks are fun! read more

We used to go here frequently and it was one of my son's fav's. But then they changed the menu and it seemed to me, they tried to revamp a tasty quaint American burger type joint to compete with a more upscale type menu and things for us started going downhill. Service was just ok then it started taking too long for food that would come out overdone and luke warm. Went back recently (only because someone gave us some giftcards) and I was glad we did! It seems they may be redeeming themselves. New items on the menu, which I tried out the provolone meatball sandwich - ummm-hmmm tasty partnered with an ice cold hef and I was a happy camper! Sucks they closed the one in Folsom but hopefully the one in Cameron Park will stay awhile. read more

Horrible! The food quality went down as the prices went up. The service was terrible. I miss the old Applebee's will never be coming back.

My husband and I used to love Applebee's. But it seems that over the past two years or so the quality has declined to a new low. The last time we went there it was over the summer. My husband ordered a steak with a side of vegetables, and I had the sliders, with a side of vegetables. The sliders were ok. Nothing to write home about, really. But neither me or my husband will ever forget the vegetables. YUCK! Normally we really like vegetables, but there is something to be said for cooking them properly! These were lukewarm, undercooked (aka crunchy), and soaked in salt water. We literally choked them down. THAT turned out to be a mistake, because we both got sick the next day. read more

service pretty good but food was freekin bad , brisket burger w thin layer of brisket was 19 sum w a beer, neva goin bak hea. I went to jack inna box after raw deel dude dont do it, got jammed read more

I'll really only go here when I want to watch a ball game and have some beers with friends. The bartenders are friendly, and the environment in the bar area is cool to watch a game (4 TVs so there's not really a bad spot to sit). As for the food, I'll really only mess with the appetizers or cold sandwiches. Everything else is terrible. You'd better plan on dousing your meal with some sort of sauce. If you're looking for a good meal I would head elsewhere. read more

New fresh menus, tried the mac n chicken strips, rich sauce n tasty strips and bacon. BLT with cheese was a great choice also. Good quick service today, no waiting. Easy in n out. read more

This has to be one of the worst Applebee's. All our food was cold. The hostess was rude and the servers were never around. We tried to talk to the manager and she was just as useless as rest of the staff . read more

I went with my family and friends tonight at 9 pm. We waited to be seated for 10 minutes. It was not busy, and no one acknowledged that we were standing there waiting. I want to share this to show how customer service should be top priority. Horrible job Applebee's! read more

Good place for your basic food groups wings, burgers and beer. No breakfast though. Have a new menu and micro brews, very good service today. read more

They cater to my husband. His drink is on the table as he sits, then they walk away without asking me what I want!! What's that all abou? We used to go all the time, but not anymore. Once a waitress walked up and hugged my husband and walked away! What!!?! He swore he never met her. The manager is a cold fish. NEVER goes to tables to ask if everything is ok. We were repeat customers, but now we go to other places. I work too hard to be treated like this... read more

My family and I love this Applebee's. Not sure about some other's but, this one has good food, fun and friendly staff (mostly). They have a few wait staff that need some additional training or the "boot"... I will take your little "tude" out of the tip you will not get and your manager will hear about it too. I won't let a bad experience keep me from trying again but, I can see why the negative reviews... It's great here most of the time! read more

I do the curbside menu frequently, never once has the order been wrong. Polite, great service, food is well,prepared. Staff is so sweet and thorough. Good place for curbside! read more

What a huge improvement. I don't know what this location did, but they sure made some smart changes. The food is a hundred times better. I used to not like this place at all. It's down the street from my house, cheap and convenient and I still refused. We gave it a go last night as a last minute thought and we were not disappointed. The service was great. The food used to be a 1 star (out of 5 - on a family style restaurant scale) and now they're at a 4. My steak was wonderful. Cooked a perfect medium rare. The tomato basil soup we couldn't get enough of. The blue cheese and pecan wedge salad is my new favorite and the burger was HUGE, thick, juicy and cooked to order. We will return! read more

Hubby and I ate here on our Friday night date. We hadn't eaten at Applebee's in years, so we gave it another shot. We we were disappointed. The service was great...food not so good, ordered steak and it was tough. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Not at all enthused with my first "Carside to Go" order. Server handed off the hot food and dessert quickly, asking for the wrong customer name and when I asked about the drinks, her reply was "oh yeah I forgot! I'll get those right now". Several minutes (+5) later she returned with the 2 sodas. Shame on me for not confirming if the wife's chocolate shake was in the bag, because after returning home, nada. So out of 6 items the server "forgot" 50%, 2 sodas and 1 shake. Pretty poor odds. As of 8:30, I have a call into the location for a refund on the shake, but have yet to hear from a Manager to resolve this. read more

Oh please! The food is okay but the service is horrible. We were greeted at the door by the friendly face of the manager. It went downhill from there. Trying to navigate the menu by my partner and me (both with advanced degrees) was challenging enough to figure out (sides in the fine print on separate page), but we got the wrong drinks from the bar - twice - and after waiting, waiting and waiting. I ordered a glass of Kendall Jackson chardonney and was shocked at the $12.50 a glass price. Some locals refer to this place as "Crapplebees." No surprise to me. read more

They gladly substituted more veggies for my potatoes and we split a wedge salad!Ryan our server was excellent, best service we've received in a long time! We will return! read more

Worst cheeseburger I've ever had. So greasy and small. Should have sent back, but was in the middle of a meeting with others and didn't want to make an issue out of it... I should have though, as my stomach is upside down. read more

This used to be one of our family's favorite places to eat, but the service has deteriorated, the food is never cooked as ordered, and the drinks are a rip-off. The last few times we've been there our appetizers arrived during or after the arrival of our main courses. What's the point? Don't plan on eating there unless someone gives us a gift card. read more
