I haven't reviewed many chain restaurants along the way, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on a recent trip to Applebees. They've been advertising a $9.99 burger special recently and I wanted to give it a try. I'm impressed. For about a buck more than a Big Mac combo, I didn't have to sit in my car, or the fast food equivalent to Disney World to eat lunch! We had great service and the burgers were juicy and delicious. Next time I'll probably sit at the bar and order the wings, but I'll be back for sure. read more

While visiting in New York we stopped at Applebee's for lunch. The Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Salad was unbelievably delicious. While my wife had the Blackened Cajun Salmon she was equally as pleased. Going out of her way to please us, our server Nicole C was the best. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant person with can do attitude. read more

Our server Leah was Amaxing! Outgoing, Knowledge of the menu and just a lovely Waitress who gave great service! Will def be going back

i have been going to this applebees for 10+ years and i have to say, it wasnt the best in the 2010s. Ever since 2022, this place is a hit! Everything about it is amazing. Food is always good! Deanna is the best waitress! read more

I went to this location during 11/23 w/3 adults & a young child. As for the seating, my only gripe was that we were seated next to the bar; not a good idea when you have minors in your party. My impossible cheeseburger was de-li-cious!! I was pleasantly surprised. Applebees is never a place that I go to due to several bad experiences at their now closed Coram location. But my burger was amazing. The fries were great!!! I really hope that when I go here again, that the food quality is super-satisfying. I mean, look at that pic!!! Makes me want to go eat out...a lil. Others in my party were extremely happy with their food, except the minor - he did not like their version of Mac & cheese. Other than that, all good! I would recommend this location. read more

The place was packed when we walked in so we thought it was a good sign. They have a good happy hour and good hangout vibe so we met up for a drink and some dinner. The portions were absolutely ridiculous. We thought they accidentally gave us kids meals the waitress disappeared and we barely saw her, never came back to offer drinks, kept having to flag other people down. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Ridiculous adult portion - American Near Me - Farmingville, New York

Been coming to this location for years, finally decided to write a review on it. Definitely had my ups and downs here through all the phases and rebranding, and came into this review fully expecting to give a 3 star rating BUT over the years I've had some very good meals here, some bad, but tonight was delicious so 4 stars feels appropriate. -Boneless Wings: 5/5, these have been my favorite boneless wings from any chain forever. I think they're better than TGIF, Chili's, etc. the honey bbq is amazing. -Burgers are often a hit or miss, I've had some delicious burgers and I've had some grease soaked buns with barely edible meat between them. -Tonight's meal though we got the 2 for $27 and got the Bourbon Chicken and shrimp & the fiesta lime chicken. I have to admit I was FULLY impressed with both dishes. The flavor, presentation, everything really blew me away. I definitely recommend either dish. Overall, this location has been around for a long time and I hope it stays. I've had a lot of good meals and memories and will continue to have more (with a few less than mediocre meals I'm sure) but when it's all said and done I'll continue coming to this location as long as it's here. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp & Fiesta Lime Chicken - American Near Me - Farmingville, New York

Terrible customer service. Food luke warm and sloppily presented. So much grease in the Bourbon chicken container. Did NOT have my grandson's food in the bag. And when I called the manager AKA "BRAINLESS WONDER" tells me to calm down he's gonna help me. He admitted on the phone he's the one who packed the order how did he make MANAGER? He forgot my grandson's whole meal that's why these businesses are going out of business. He didn't even care he told me to calm down. I'm gonna help you how can you help me you're the manager you didn't even pack the order correctly!!!!!!! You should be doing stock buddy and you don't know how to talk to customers that's my last trip there and I'm gonna make sure none of my friends go there either. Oh I know what else to do. I'll also share this on social media, I'm guessing a lot of people would like their kids to eat??? Maybe grandson was jumping up and down waiting for his food and guess what everybody got a plate but him thank you Applebee's you won't get another penny from me and I wish I can get my $25 tip back. ZERO STARS... read more

It's a staple of Long Island, mediocre food and a seating area to talk to your friends. I've been a bunch but today I had shrimp, which was fine. My friend got the mac and cheese which was literally kraft. I really only can recommend like half apps and the lunch specials. Not a bad place but it's pretty meh. read more

Greetings Yelpers, It's so if you expect gourmet dining NOT! Food is ok, Bar service on point especially Thursday with Rachel as she is attentive & friendly. John on Sunday is also Fidel the manager is always welcoming, friendly & accommodating. Covid rules are strictly enforced. read more

We recently ate at the Applebee's in Farmingville, NY. Our server Heather was simply put great. She explained clearly all options available and checked on our table to make sure the food was good and if we needed anything. She has a warm personality and does everything to ensure that the customer is happy. read more

I usually like the menu but the service is sometimes slow thanks for everything . Happy new year applebees grill staff person

Tonight we all got to experience a wonderful dinner at Applebees. Our easier DN was excellent in his service and delivery if the dinners, not rushing out appetizers. For appetizers were had the hot and crunchy mozzarella sticks with a nice warm marinara sauce. We also had the artichoke dip which we delicious as well. For dinner we head the bourbon bacon burger...awesome, the Thai shrimp salad with peanut sauce and lemon vinegarette, firecracker shrimp with past and the Bourbon st. Shrimp. All dishes were very plentiful and delicious. Dan was awesome with his service and the manager Faysal stopped by to check in on us, making sure that all was perfect. Great job!! read more

The food tasted microwaved and not fresh; hadn't been to an Applebee's in many years. Service was quick, and luckily, they still have the "2 for $x" deal, unlike chili's, so it's decent for that. read more

The hostess was nasty and began seating people that came in after my wife and I. After she told us there was a 10-15 min wait. I had to get up and ask why people that came in after my wife and I were being seated ahead of us and The hostess made a nasty remark. Terrible customer relations. read more

Farmingville location, burgers are good, but the onion rings, chicken tenders are way too crunchy, never seems like a lot of peeps there during lunch to dinner time, but the wait for your food seems a bit long! Maybe sitting at the bar is better? Salads are ok, a few good chicken dishes- the place is always busy 1030pm, gonna say great place for kids To hang n eat read more

I love Applebees in Farmingville. The waitstaff is friendly, the food is good and always hot. We go frequently. The last 3 or 4 times I ordered a glass of wine the glass has some sort of crusty s and plenty of watermarks, I found myself wetting a napkin and wiping the outside of the glass so as not to upset anyone( bartender) by sending it back. Maybe before pouring a drink they should check the glass. Maybe I should send it back next time read more

Typical Applebee's. Great social distancing. All employees wearing masks correctly read more

I've been coming to Fridays for a very long time with my friends and family. Great times at the bar with Ivan, Gina, Autumn and Star. I love coming back here. It's like a family. read more

I'd give it one star, but our poor waitress that was running around like a chicken without a head earned this place an extra star. It's Applebees...I didn't expect a whole lot, but this was probably the most sub-par experience I've had at any Applebees location. We waited forever for our food (which was literally just a sandwich and boneless wings), while everyone who was seated after us had food coming out left and right. Not only did it take an eon to get our food, but it came to the table cold...come on. I will acknowledge the fact that they looked incredibly short staffed as the manager himself was out serving the tables their food. I'm not one to complain, but seriously, do better. read more

The host Abigail was completely rude , i couldn't scan the menu on my phone from table and asked for a menu she refused to give me one , made awkward eye contact with me the rest of my stay, she had come over to my table to bring our food and when i asked for extra ranch she just walked away. My waitress was absolutely amazing and the rest of my visit was great but this host had completely ruined my stay there. read more

Stopped in the Farmingville location last night and everything was great. We were pressed for time to catch a train, and Sarah our server did a wonderful job taking out order and patiently taking my parent's rather specific drink orders (they are regulars at the Riverhead location). Drinks and appetizers came out quickly, as did our main meals - all were excellent. Sarah brought out our "to go" boxes and the check, and we were out the door with time to spare. We'll be back asap ! read more

i come to applebees all the time because everything else is close lol but is also nkt bad at all steak is pretty good , the drinks arent great - specially the pina coladas they are more like koolaid with booze . premade sirup stuff - is better to get something they cant screw up like my good friend jack&coke lol. they have late night spacials . read more

this place is Amazing I went here with my mom 8/12/24 I love it here I had chicken Alfredo and it was absolutely delicious and the drinks here are so amazing... read more

I was meeting friends for a quick beer before heading out and I got here early. I asked the bartender, how long is happy hour? I'm told until, 6. Its 6 now?? Nope, you missed it. I'll have a beer. She grabs a large glass. How much is that glass? $7.50 How much is the pint? (I'm driving) oh.. $4.50 I order a Harpoon and see my friends. I get the check, $5.50 with plus tax. I'm not complaining about a buck. Give me the damn happy hour price! Now my clothes smell like Applebees crappy food, the bartender with all her cleavage hanging out already has me in the red zone, all for 23 seconds...? Epic fail Applebees. Epic fail read more

Seated immediately. Menu specials changed again for the worst. More items added to be more expensive. Mostly come for the half off apps after 10pm and that's about it. This time I went for the deserters only. The lava cake is always a winner but I must admit those pretzel sticks which you get 4 huge ones remind me more of breadsticks. Ijs read more

0 stars actually. a cockroach flew into our food and the manager was nasty and asking us to leave after we complained. manager served food smelling like cigarettes, i'm 8 months pregnant and was served unsanitary food and disgusting attitude. never coming back, they got roaches and bad attitudes. read more

This is the closest Applebee's to my home recently, it's still typical of all Applebee's food and general atmosphere... I mostly order take out lately. This location can sometimes take a long time to take your order and get food and the staff isn't the most friendly... but I've definitely had a better experience doing curbside. read more

The food was excellent. Service was great and clean. Manger came by ask about the service. read more

I have a million complaints about our experience here- but I'll just stick with a few: They 'closed' before closing time; begrudgingly agreed to serve us food; brought us half there and half 'to go'. What is the point if you're going to balk the entire time?! I'd much rather go ANYWHERE else if you are going to make us feel badly about our asking for food, for you being a FOOD establishment. Thanks for that. I really have no idea whether the bartender thought she was doing us a favor, a horrible person, and/or just should have a non-people job. The niceties after we were about to leave were perplexing, possibly because my ridiculously too-kind companion left a ridiculously huge tip. Why I still have no idea. We ended up trying to eat it in the parking lot. That being said, the food was inedibly salty. After driving 12 hrs w no food, I had two bites and just could NOT eat this. I hope this review helps ANYONE, as I really hate 'complaining'- I just thought this needed to be said. read more

Good food with no wait. Decent and affordable prices. If you want to be somewhat healthy then order the grilled chicken and vegetables. read more

The manager of the Farmingville location, Joe is one of the best managers I've seen.

Good food and service. Nothing spectacular to rave about but no issues. Food was cooked to order and server was very courteous.

I honestly never dare to come to a place like applesbees on a saturday night. The crowds can get crazy and with a toddler waiting can be such a nightmare. However i was so pleasantly surprised today. My husband had called around 7 to see how busy they were and they actually took our name down after we told them we were 10mins away from there. When we got their the place was packed as usual but we waited about 5mins and the hostess brought us to our table. After sitting down about 5mins later the waitress came over to get our drinks and we placed our order since we already knew what we wanted and we figured it was gonna be a long wait. Again we were pleasantly surprised we got our appetizer and my son got his entree in less than 10mins! And then our food followed shortly. We had the spinach dip which was amazing! Not overly salty and tasted so good! I ordered the oriental salad. That dressing is so good!! Hubby got the all day brunch burger which he loved! Overall a great experience!! read more

Pretty large Applebees. Waitress was nice and the food was decent. Can never go wrong with a burger. I ordered the whiskey burger. Was pretty good. Of course they are not good at cooking meat to the temp you like but I had no expectations. I always ask for medium rare and get well done. Nice quick dinner. read more

Soooooo disappointing lately. I went recently and all three appetizers were bad. Do better Applebees! Do better!

Apparently have to be a group of young guys to get some service around here. Once the short Spanish waitress walked passed me and my boyfriend for the fifth time without even an acknowledgement I should've known to walk out. But then watching her take a group of guys' order who walked in 10 minutes after us was just flat out disrespectful. Horrible service. read more
