I've been a couple times this year, and had another very solid experience on Wednesday of this week. We were seated promptly, the front desk staff were really nice and fun for me and my kids. I tried to sign up for the Applebee's rewards, which offered a free appetizer, but the email came about 24 hours later - so if you'd like to try Applebees and join their rewards club, be sure to do so more than 24 hours before your visit! My kids got the cheeseburger (good - but boring IMO, I tried to convince them to get alfredo) and they liked the meal and sides. The yogurt with strawberries and broccoli were much better sides than just fries, although I allowed them to add fries. I LOVE the fiesta lime chicken, but let the waitress convince me to do the Sweet & Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich instead. It was pretty good - the chicken was super tender, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste and the slaw was a miss. I'll stick with riblets or fiesta lime chicken in the future. The kids added ice cream sundaes for ~$2 to their meals, which made them super happy, and the service was great. I will be back to this location, although I may wait for Tuesdays when kids' meals are $1.99 each. :) read more

I have been here several times the food is hit or miss. On this visit it was good. Our server was nice and friendly. I love their $6 mucho drinks. They also have a great happy hour. read more

There's never really a wait when dining in as you're seated fairly quickly . I'm a fan of the spinach artichoke dip which is the reason I come here . Other than that , this location specifically needs help when it comes to cleanliness. We were seated last night at a dirty table amongst other dirty tables. Our waitress even kicked the mess aside while taking our drink order. It's not that hard to pick up a broom and dustpan folks! read more

The burger tasted good but was very small and thin and mine was overcooked. With only a small handful of fries it was not worth $15. Not a good value at all. Chilis burgers are bigger and better and they are not cheap with the fries. Won't be back very soon. read more

Service is terrible here, we waited 30 min for our pasta to come out and then another 30 min for the appetizers to come out. The pasta was very over cooked and I ordered breadsticks with my pasta which came out 20 min after the appetizers. Our table also had no silverware or napkins, we literally had to ask for all that once the pasta arrived. Also never got a refill on my coke or water until I was done with my pasta. Wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone read more

We were seated really quickly, and began with our drinks, I had the Blue Sky I believe and my sister had a Strawberry Margarita ( both really tasty) then on to our food!! We ordered from the 2 for $25. I got the Fiesta Lime Chicken and my sister had the Regular Cheese Burger w/fries! We both enjoyed our meal but the Mexican rice that came with the Fiesta Lime Chicken was really dry( I didn't even eat it) but meal was otherwise pretty good n our server was friendly and checked on us n kept our water glasses full!! The ambience was pretty good but there wasn't a lot of ppl there either but the ones that were there was a good mix of ppl!!! read more

The service was excellent and I had a really good club sandwich! One of the best I've had.

Ordered the two for 25$. Last nite,July 6 , food was ok, fries were cool and limp. Looking at check was charged 28. Asked waiter before ordering was the pictures were what we would get. Yes. He couldn't explain why it was 3$ more. Kinda thinking store is chatging more . Nobody looks at bill. read more

I had Nathan as a waiter. He was very hospitable to my family and I. If you can request a waiter I would highly recommend him. He recommended some amazing food. read more

Just a great all around experience. Service, food, good prices & fun. We will be back for sure. read more

If I could give this a lower review I would. Took us 20 minutes to get our drinks, 45 minutes to get our appetizer. I was going to place an order for take out but I couldn't even do that because it most likely would have taken another hour. Ambiance was fine, it's an Applebees the vibes are the same everywhere some are just WAY better elsewhere. The Applebees in Novi was way better, service was fast, wait staff was kind and everything was just better. read more

Erin is a marvelous Bartender went above and beyond. I enjoy coming to this spot, the servers always have a smile and are extra kind. I got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli and they didn't charge me for the extra Alfredo sauce read more

No A/C and it's 95° out!! Love this place but this is ridiculous! Also no Dollaritas! They should be an all year round deal! Our service was great but being in here is almost unbearable. Our group is basically sweating and the staff look exhausted due to how hot it is in here! read more

Awesome service with a smile and fast served yummy food. Come in to enjoy wonderful food and drinks!

Applebees is Applebees...but our server Raven who we always see here makes me and my man experiences more enjoyable

the service was terrible. server was named logan, he checked on us a total of 3 times and we were here over an hour. we ordered waters and a shirley temple he brought the water right away but it took him 15 minutes to bring the shirley temple. we than got our food and it was okay than 4 bites in there is hair in the pasta. GROSS. he took our order than came back less than 5 minutes later saying he forgot our order. than he did not like the tip he received so he walked out and gave it back. the service was pretty bad overall and so was the food. read more

i just recently went out to eat here and the service was terrible and our "server" came to us twice with an attitude his name is Logan. THE FOOD HAD HAIRRRRR IN IT. wow awful would never recommend to anyone read more

Aaliyah W was an amazing server!! Took great care of us even though it was the end of the night

We've been going to this spot for years. Recently, I've noticed they're getting busy again. And once again the servers are on point. We had a nice dinner this evening. Excellent service, and the food was great. Well done to all. Kudos to chef for sure. read more

So, I'll preface this review by saying I hadn't been to an Applebee's location in over a decade prior to this recent experience and if it wasn't one of the few places in town still open at the time, I probably wouldn't have gone at all. But, I had a mind to get some after-work food and drink and that's what I intended to do. However, I quickly realized that was not to be after sitting at the bar and reading through the menu to see no vegan options or even vegetarian options. Though, you can technically make anything vegetarian by asking the restaurant to take off the meat. So, good job vegetarians. I was disappointed, but I was already there. I decided to have a couple drinks and leave. That too became a struggle quickly. Their tap menu read like the contents of a college summer camping trip cooler. If that sounds like a compliment it isn't. I then inquired about their liquor options to find they only stock bottom and upper-bottom shelf offerings. I gave up and ordered something drinkable before my morals forced me to leave. Now, the icing atop this whole experience was the couple seated, unfortunately, next to me who were being weirdly loud and uncomfortably aggressive with each other. This, of course, isn't the restaurant's fault. It just serves to illustrate the general "vibe" of the place. I'll wrap this up by saying: If you're looking for cheap food, cheap drinks, and a cheap American dining experience, this place is for you. It's got cheap written all over it. Note: I did give an extra star for competent service. read more

Here again, and I will not be returning. From the time I checked in on Yelp to the time we actually received our meals (which only consisted of soup, salad, pasta, a kids pizza, and chicken wings) it had been 40 minutes. And even when we did receive our orders, multiple things were incorrect. Honestly, If I had not been with other people, I would've walked out after waiting 30 minutes. I'm not impressed with this service at all. The manager did compensate us for the huge inconvenience, but our time was wasted and full of hunger. I didn't even eat my meal, my appetite is gone. This is the second time in a row coming here with slow service. So yeah, I'm done coming to this location. read more

Best Service and Food Was A+. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The wait was not long and food came out in a timely manner.

We tried the all you can eat boneless wings offer and we're somewhat disappointed. You get 10 wings, a few small ones that are mostly the coating. Overall pretty tasty but the kitchen is sllllowww. The waiter brought out first which took over 20 mins and they were not busy at all. After that they bring you 5 more small wings which also takes 20mins when you want more. Too much time to spend for 5 little wings to be brought out each time. If you have all day go for it but we prefer to not waste time waiting. The water is blah so bring something to put in it . We asked for lemon and never got any. read more

Service was terrible. We had to wait forever before we had our order taken. Then waited another 20 minutes before I asked our waitress if we were going to get our drinks. Food wasn't any good either. Fries were cold and the fish and chips was lousy. Don't order it. Again waiting for the waitress after we ate for about 20 minutes. We were going to order dessert but someone else came out and just handed me the check. They didn't ask if everything was ok or anything. I said we were going to order dessert. They gave me a blank look and just wandered off. Another 30 minutes goes by and I walk up to our waiters and just ask for the bill. Obviously they didn't want to serve us dessert or to take our order. Don't go. It's not worth your time. read more

Me and my fiancé dined in Sunday July 23rd at this establishment, he ordered the bacon ranch chicken sandwich and half the chicken was raw, we were only accommodated a refund for the sandwich unfortunately o feel this situation should have been taken more seriously read more

The parking lot is a nice size but a little confusing to get into. Greeted and seated immediately told us to watch our steps as we were shown to our tables. Get to the table. Theres 4 different menus on the table, and the table is stickys not impressed. I'd like to be greeted by a clean table when arriving at a restaurant. My waitress seems new, so be easy on her. She didn't understand what i wanted to drink. Come to find out, she's a minor, and i was requesting a Dos Equis so completely understandable. I ended up getting my requested drink shortly after from a crew member of age. Within 5 minutes of sitting time, the order of cheese bites appetizers have arrived. It's very tasty, not fresh, tho. Seems to be reheated, not fresh fried. I requested limes with my beer didnt recieve till 10 minutes of sitting after asking a second time for limes. Food has arrived after 25 minutes of waiting. The Mushroom Swiss burger was supposed to be with waffle fries. I got regular fries. The chicken tenders were supposed to come with ranch and came with honey mustard. Fries are cold and have an off taste to them like smokey taste. Chicken tenders seem to be reheated, not fresh and super dry. Burger is veryyy wellll done taste like burnt nothing else. I'm not impressed with this location. Defiantly will not be returning. read more

My favorite Applebee's by far! Clean restaurant, friendly service, hot food & overall a great place for my family to go eat out.

Went in after work with friends and it was all decent the server, Logan who looks like he bartending meanwhile the bar was empty the entire time. He came and checked on us a total of 3/4 times while we were there over an hour just sitting there. Waiting awhile for the food then there was hair in my pasta so we asked for a manager and i sent my food back as well as my boyfriend because he didn't like his burger. The manager took it back and then he didn't come up to us and say anything about the food we sent back it took him awhile to finally come back to our table and all he asked was if he needed anything else no sorry or nothing?!?! Then when we finally cashed out and left he seemed pretty unhappy with the tip and ran out to our car and put it in the windsheild.. pretty unprofessional and embarrassing, If u want a better tip be a better server the restaurant was not busy and we were not needy. read more

When it comes to Applebee's, the location in Canton is not our first choice. Although we live in Canton, my husband and I will drive 15 minutes further to the Applebee's in Westland. The reason isn't the food, rather it is the service and lack of cleanliness. The last few times we've been to this location, the tables and floor have been a mess. In fact, it looks like the carpet needs to be either professionally cleaned or replaced. As far as service, there isn't a sense of urgency. Service is slow and there doesn't seem to be strong management. Which all the competition in Canton, Applebee's needs to step up its game. read more

Courtney and the entire staff are always friendly and helpful. Drinks are incredible and the staff goes above and beyond- Fiesta Lime chicken was excellent! read more

Great place to watch the game and great beer choices , food specials that'll leave you full .. been to this location and service is amazing, our server Alyssa was on top of her game all the way across the board , never had to ask for our drinks and order was fast and correct. We will definitely try to go during Alyssa's shift .. Thanks ! read more

Every time I come to this location they have a limited menu. Yet you have all those people dining in. They do not serve my favorite on the Menu so I go to another Applebee who do service what I like get it together or lose customers. Canton Location don't bother read more

As a family of 6, it is hard to go out and have everyone find something that they like. Going to Applebees has become our go to of choice! The service is top notch. Raven, Harlon, and Gabe always know what my kids are having, and the entire staff go out of their way to ensure that we have an excellent experience. The food is always good too. See you next Tuesday! read more

Went out to eat a late lunch with my 3 year old and another family member. After eating we all started feeling sick to our stomachs. A few hours later we started all aggressively vomiting and needing to be in the rest room. I'm not sure what is up with the food, but I don't think we should all suddenly feel sick from it. Service was almost below average. Not really happy with this experience. read more

Stopped in late night for dessert on Thursday 6/21. They were closing at midnight, it was about 11:30 as we were on the way home from an event. The sign on the door said last call for food and drink 15 minutes before closing. We walked in and it was a mess. A waitress(actually all the workers) gave us a dirty look. She yelled over that last call would be in 10 minutes. Chairs were up on tables, they actually walked us through piles of garbage to seat us at a table. Our waitress came over and rudely says they are closing in 5 minutes (note it's still like 11:35) and we'd better order RIGHT NOW. Makes some comments about the time and wandered away to put in the order. In the meantime, they were trying to rush others in the restaurant out the door, too. We got our desserts and the waitress brought the bill but made a point to be super obvious about grabbing the self serve kiosk and taking the battery out and clunking it back down on our table (because they are closing you know!). So that just delayed things as I waited for her to come back and grab our bill to run my card. We were out the door at 11:55 (probably would have been out sooner if I could have just swiped my own bill). There were still others dining in the restaurant so it's not like we were holding anything up. Probably would have left her about a 50% tip, but that was significantly reduced due to outright rudeness. I get it - you want to go home. But if you actually close at 11:30, post it as such and lock the doors (but then I have the feeling they'd start being rude to people at 11). I feel we were realistic in our timing for what we planned to order. We didn't walk in at 11:55 and try to order steak dinners. Meh. Plenty of other restaurants on Ford Rd to choose from if they don't want my business at Applebee's. read more

The manager was friendly and engaging but Courtney our waitress needs a lesson or two. If she tells us one more time that "she doesn't know because they are busy" I'm going to ask for a manager. You know I must be miffed because I'm writing this at the table. Anyhow she brings the southern fritter with the ice cream completely melted. I wanted another scoop on the side to compensate for the ice cream soup but by the time she came back the fritter was cold. And when I told her she said "oh" and didn't offer anything further. I guess the party of 45 had her shook.... give you 1 guess how I know that there is a party of 45?? It was her excuse for poor service. read more

First time here in awhile. Service was odd. 2 greeters leaning on wall and hand you menus and point towards a table. Go sit at table number whatever. Very different. You can't walk people to the table anymore? Server was nice and friendly. But was also working the bar. Would yell to customers- you need anything? You want dessert? Food was mediocre at best. Very plain chain restaurant food. Basic not much flavor. Chicken was moist but not seasoned. Rice was dry almost crunchy. Pico was bland. Sadly I still have $25 left on the gift card I have. Prob will go to waste. Much better dining options so close by. They need to step their game up. read more

AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS. We went for a lunch, my coworker and I, and our service was slow, food that did come out was burned, and at the end of our HOUR LONG lunch break chicken tender and fried shrimp STILL had not made an appearance. After an HOUR. We paid for the drinks and left. Some people have to work for living, and they obviously don't work at this restaurant. 0 stars (it made me put one) 10/10 will never visit here again. I would strongly suggest going elsewhere if you have any time constraints or prefer your food to not be burned. It was clean, but that's all I can say that's positive. Don't go here. read more
