This 5 star review is for Vanessa's SUPERB service! She was so genuinely friendly and attentive. You felt like you were dining at a friend's house. We opted for Applebees on a Friday night for a casual dinner out at a restaurant that offers a diverse menu for when you don't know what you feel like eating. The host gave us an inaccurate wait time and sat a party of 2 that arrived after us, before us. Luckily the wait wasn't too extensive. I appreciated that they accommodate our request for a booth. Our food came out appropriately spaced so our apps didn't come out on top of our food, which we appreciated. The spin dip and mozzarella sticks were good app choices. I enjoyed my southwest chicken bowl for an entree. Though it was not quite at the level of doneness he preferred, my husband enjoyed the bourbon steak entree. This is our regularly frequented Applebees location and highly recommend requesting Vanessa! :) read more

Felix our server was awesome! Everything arrived as ordered and perfectly warm. Manager did a great job bringing out food also so everyone could eat at the same time. There were 12 of us celebrating our friend's birthday! Area was quiet so we could enjoy our conversations with our friends. read more

The food is good .My favorite is the chicken wontons. The servers are attentive, the ambiance is nice and laid back. It's a distance from where I live but it's worth it. read more

Applebee's has been an Edison Rt 1 staple for a loooong time. Coming here for a little family dinner, they were a bit understaffed, but the wait staff are clearly managing as best as possible. We got the 2 for $28-$32 ranges with the spinach and artichoke dip and buffalo bites. The Buffalo bites were a bit too crusty, definitely could do with more meat and less breading. The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing though, definitely nice and melty with fresh chips! I personally got the ribs this time, and can say though it did't look much, it was a pwrfect combo of savory tang and sweetness. Meanwhile, someone else in my part ordered the steak and I must admit, their cook quality has drastically decrease with their steak. Avoid the steak, and I think you are golden in having a nice dinner out here! read more

All You Can Eat or All You Can Stand? That is the question. Applebee's has always been a decent burger and brew joint. Unfortunately, it's also a place where you'd keep your head down and look the other way if you run into anyone there you know -- especially since they've turned into an AYCE fried food palace in a desperate attempt to attract customers. Don't get me wrong a well prepared burger and fries can still be had very competently but I draw the line when they want to trowel unlimited quantities of anything down my throat. Just keep it simple and for the love of god, avoid any eye contact with your neighbor. Three stars. read more

Applebee's is one of those spots you remember from growing up but seem so uninspired. I was hesitant to eat here but my girls have been fascinated with the concept so I figured why not? The standard seating for a bar + grill. Families were seated away from the bar area. The children's menu was pretty varied. Pick a drink. Pick a dish. Extras for smoothies and dessert. My oldest did the taco and my youngest chose the Mac n cheese. I went with the southwest burrito bowl in a effort to pick a healthy choice. I ate the whole bowl. Simple food. The chicken had the packaged flavor like it was cooked who knows when. The rest was very fresh. My girls ate their whole meal too. Good price point for the kids menu. Nice people in general and very kid friendly option. read more

TLDR: your everyday Applebees Ordered chicken wonton tacos, mozzarella sticks, and one of the 5 dollar drink specials. I'm a sucker for Applebees half price apps, especially the classic boneless Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. Tried the chicken wonton tacos for the first time, and they were a lot better than I expected. The 5 dollar drink was really sweet - about what you'd expect. Stretchy mozzarella? Check. Crispy fried stuff? Check. Large sweet drink? Check. This location didn't have the frozen drink, but I would still go back to hangout with friends here. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to meet up for food and drinks after work. When we arrived we parked in their parking lot. There was a tiny wait to get seated but they moved quickly. We sat at a table by the bar socially distanced from others. Our server/bartender was Ally and she did her best because she was alone in the bar area. She was attentive as well. My boyfriend ordered wings and fries with a vodka tonic as well as their $5 snowball drink. He said the wings were ok but the fries were good. I only had 2 vodka tonics and they were good. It was a cheap date with no issues. read more

My boys love eating here so I decided to bring them out for dinner after my son's victory in a football game. I ordered the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The salmon was cooked nicely. My sons both ordered the four cheese Mac n cheese with honey sweet chicken tenders. The portions were so large that they couldn't finish which was surprising because both of them are usually big eaters. They said it was a tasty dish, so the leftovers came home with us. read more

when I walked in it was good and the wait was not that long but the waiters were very bad. It took the waiter almost 40 minutes for the apple juice and I sat down at my table at 7:23 and the food came out at 8:00. The service is bad because I asked for crayons and it took 30 minuets. read more

The stake was somehow was over cooked and ice cold. The manager was very rude and didn't give a refund 0 stars read more

Food was good but we had a server named Julissa she was rude right from the start we ordered our food and when she brought out our appetizer she just rudely said watch out then when the food came we asked for anether drink and she didn't bring us one we had to ask her a few times then we seen her complaining at the bare and at that time she was making drinks for anether table and Then when she finally brought us it we where already ready to leave she had an attitude as she handed us our check read more

Located on route 1 in either Edison or within the boundaries of Metuchen, this Applebee's is convenient if you're going south on Route 1. It's the same set up as all the other Applebee's. I didn't see any difference. The staff is young and somewhat inexperienced but very polite. A BLT with unmelted cheese? No. It had to be taken back, sans the cheese. Redone, it was well worth the wait. read more

I go to this Applebees every now and then to order the same burger. I can tell you I know whoever prepared my quesadilla burger was in a good mood. He/She put their best foot forward on this one. After my first bite I almost drove back to the restaurant to shake their hand but then I realized my burger would get cold. So, I decided to just Yelp after I finished eating lol. Very good. I would recommend this Applebees and this burger. read more

About 2 weeks ago, I ordered a salmon dish and it was so overcooked and dry it was inedible. Tonight we ordered a few different dinners. One was Chicken breast with Spanish rice....someone should tell them the rice should be cooked...it was beyond crunchy not soft in any sense. My family also had serious complaints about their choices. Applebee's once was a good fast dinner not anymore!!! MOVE ON... read more

So i placed an order on UberEats, Id say roughly about 5 mins before writing this and the other 4 mins was spent on hold waiting to speak with someone about an order modification. I spoke with Rob who i'm assuming is the manager (shouldn't be with his phone etiquette). I wanted my fiesta like chickens (i spent $65 mind you) in a wrap like they ALWAYS do for me at the restaurant. I was very polite as I work customer service myself. Rob was very rude and pushed my request off to the side and said, and i quote, "That's a courtesy we do in store we have no control over that". I asked if he could please ask the kitchen if they could do that as i'd appreciate it so much, he then said nothing and placed me on hold again where I sat another two mins listening to "Happy For A Moment". He then answered and said it's already made. This is disgusting customer service and a blatant display of disrespect for those willing to spend money at this specific restaurant, regardless of it being from a delivery app. I've never cancelled an order so fast in my life because he obviously lied about it being prepared and was too busy to stay customer centric on a Saturday night; to the degree of a slight order modification I politely requested. I've worked corporate retail management for the past 9 years and would be given a final warning for that type of behavior. Disrespectful and uncaring attitude displayed from Rob. My advice: Find a job you seem to enjoy, I can only imagine what you're like in person if I had an issue. God bless ! read more

Wow the remodel really changed this place around. Forget the old Applebee's look with the locks high schools and colleges on the walls. They are doing a way more modern feel by going kind of industrial and I am here for it. I can't wait for this Applebee's to be the new norm. Glad they still have the half price apps after 10pm. Ordered the new brisket quesadillas with honey bbq boneless wings. The wings, just as good as I want them to be. Something about that sauce is so good. I remembered I asked once and they said it was sweet baby rays honey bbq but when I bought the bottle it's not the same. It's the Applebee's tosses part I am missing lol. The new brisket quesadillas were so so good. The meat was so juicy it would drip down when you hit into it. Preferred over the chicken ones for sure. Also had the dollarita which ended up being really sour. Not a fan but a good price. Staff was super nice. In the Applebee's that I've been to there is always one bartender to take care of the bar guests and the orders coming in from the tables. But in this one there were TWO bartenders. How lovely !! Great service !! read more

Food was good Drinks were horrible full of juice Waiters was talking about us because we sent 2 of ours drinks back read more

The food was pretty okay. Our waiter though on the other hand was horrible. She had an attitude that was rude and unprofessional. She was nasty. She needs to be taught common manners and comprehend in her tiny brain that her job is to be attentive to her tables and be kind and serve us our food and drinks. Hope she gets well soon :p read more

Came here last night with my friends and it was a great experience. It was a 45 min wait for the 5 of us but for a Friday night that's not bad at all. Tracking our place in line was easy and very effective. When we were told to come get seated it was instant and service was great. Our server was Chris, he was one of the best waiters I've had. Me and my friends really enjoyed him as our server. The appetizers came out very fast and although the food took a little longer it was understandable because of how busy they were. When the food did come out everything was perfect and tasty. We went at 10pm so the appetizers were half off and that was awesome. We ordered a couple of drinks and they were amazing. Overall the experience I had was great and food was great. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Excellent food with a wide variety to choose from. The appetizers are so good we always get the classic combo. Nice to see the place busy and active. We will definitely come back soon. read more

My family ordered food to go and I waited outside for 10 minutes but no one showed up at my car side. I called inside to tell them that I was outside and I waited another 10 minutes and still no one showed up at my car side. I finally decided to go in and see what was going on and my food still wasn't ready when it was supposed to be. They did not even apologize for me waiting at least half an hour for my food. I would not recommend getting food here to go. Maybe if you dine in then they might have a better service. read more

Yes, I've fallen right out of my tree! I'm bloody reviewing the "Neighbourhood Grill & Bar". This reminds me of that chain that was part of that "Waiting" movie. Ok- Who here remembers that one? And how many of you actually went to the restaurant not just Bennigan's but any restaurant after watching that flick? Right!! It only happens in movies!! Any who- I've ordered from this place before, but was too lazy to broadcast, but this time around I felt the need only because I hate when my "one" pack that I work diligently gets jeopardised in any shape or form. Ordered baby back ribs! Because it has been a while. To me-Looked light on bbq sauce. [Not sure if they follow any BBQ mecca recipes. Memphis or Carolinas?] Hence no flavour. I had to lathered that baby up with some good olé Sriracha. And it was tad bit dry. Now, TV just makes things worse when they show baby back nicely doused in bbq sauce, with smoke oozing out like you're about to send smoke signals. False advertisement? Of course. It's TV. Duh. But their mashed potatoes are great. If you're into that. Fries, I thought were ok. Toodles, read more

I was here last night with my girl after a long week at work! We both got here around 1030p just in time for half off appetizers. To start we went straight for the alcohol and got sangria. The alcohol was just the right strength. Not weak, but not too strong either, just enough for you to enjoy and know that u paid good money for it! For Appetizers we ordered buffalo chicken wings, mozarella cheese sticks, chicken quesadillas, nachos with chili. My girl got chicken tacos on some sort of wonton shell. Food came out fast. They just forgot to bring the chicken tacos which pissed my girl off because its the only food she ordered and thats the food that they messed up on. Anyways, our waiter took forever to check up on us so that dropped the tip to 18%. Then he also took forever to bring the chicken taco that he forgot to take from the food warming lights. and to add insult to injury we were the last table he tended to out of the 4 tables he was waiting on esp since we asked for the friggin check 30 min ago. But being the nice guy that I am still gave this dude 18%. I let him slide because we werent really in any rush, plus he was probably having a bad day. I was happy with my food too. Overall, 3 stars because food is ur typical american food. Service was terrible but not the worst ive seen. read more
