Lunch for four today included a hamburger, prime rib dip, bbq riblets and bbq chicken wings. My prime rib dip was served on an overly soft bun, the prime rib had been overcooked to the well done stage and they added American cheese which was a first (and hopefully last) time I have ever seen that. The jus appeared to be a scoop of their French onion soup. They also added American cheese to the hamburger despite a request that it be omitted. On the plus side, the onion rings were crunchy and flavorful as well as the riblets and chicken. The bbq sauce tasted very similar to KC bbq sauce but was a hit with the two diners. The service was attentive and friendly and there was adequate parking. read more

Worst Valentines Day Dinner Ever!!! If I could give it less than one star I would! First I had to sit and wait nearly 15 minutes to be seated. Okay yeah it was a holiday. I get it. That said that should have been my first clue as to how my dining experience was going to end up. So we get to the table we order our drinks and our food. After what seemed like an eternity the nice young lady comes back and said there had been a glitch with the computer and that our meal would be delayed. We had already been waiting about 35 minutes before our appetizer of glorified nacho bell grande chips and beans. Nothing special. Then we wait a quite awhile longer for the main course arrive. My husband ordered his steak medium well with fries it came to the table rare. I order my steak medium and got dried out well I also ordered mashed potatoes and the plate they served my meal on was hotter than the mashed potatoes. Then because I had waited all that time sipping on my 9 dollar cocktail I had nothing to go with my meal so I ordered a ipa. Well the check came before the ipa arrived. Now I realize that this was Valentines Day and of it being a special day many people were taking their loved ones out for what should have been a very special meal and experience that was in our case most certainly not a very positive experience. I will not visit nor recommend this particular Applebee's. This was ridiculous to say the least. Many of the fellow diners around me would perhaps agree. read more

Air-conditioning on steroids in here, you can hang beef on the walls! If you do come to Applebee's, I recommend you order something hot. read more

Happy I got my food.. That almost didn't happen.. But..... Man, have you ever had a lean cuisine?? That's what the chicken broccoli Alfredo taste like. I'm glad I asked for extra sauce because if I didn't it would be raw noodle, chicken, and broccoli... i would pay a dollar for the freaking lean cuisine!! So much better!! read more

This was my first time at this location so my review isn't based on possible consistency. Arrived at 1:30pm and it was pretty dead. Took a little while to get a server to come by and order drinks but its okay. Usually that would bug me but we were just killing time so I didn't care. Once she came she was friendly, helpful and professional. Got our order in and that was that. Now, I've visited Applebee's in California, Washington and EVERYtime I order the same dish (bourbon st chicken and shrimp) it comes out cold or not sizzling as advertised. Its pathetic. Read my reviews you'll see how many different locations I've been too and how they all FAIL horribly. However not this time! My food came out sizzzzzling. It was hot, FRESH and delicious!!!! Potatoes were crispy and proteins were juicy and flavorful. Very very happy. THABK YOU!!!!!! Only ding I'll give the experience- the server never refilled my husbands drink. It was empty and sitting at the egde of the table and she never offered to refill even though she stopped by the table three separate times after it was emptied. read more

See all

Ordered the blackened shrimp alfredo and found many and many shrimp shells in it, also got the rack of ribs which were over cooked and my fries were forgotten read more

I have always thought of Applebee's as an OK place to go. Mediocre food and service. But it's good and it's fairly cheap. In the last few months I've noticed a huge change in the quality of the food and the drinks. The menu changes are great and things have been flavorful and very yummy. Service has also been better... faster, more attentive. I'm very pleased with my recent experiences here and ill definitely keep returning. read more

We eat here a few times a year, mainly because one of our clients gives us a few hundred dollars in gift cards every Christmas. My review is based on the fact that this is a CHAIN restaurant. A cook is preparing your food, not a chef. If you expect more, you shouldn't eat here. Anyway, some solid, simple dishes like grilled chicken, oriental salad, brew pub pretzel with cheese. We don't care for the "all in" burgers, where they mix toppings in with the meat; we prefer a straight forward burger. Overall, it's a dependable Applebees. There's often a floor manager walking the dining room and checking in with guests. If I have ever had any issue with an order, he has quickly taken care of it. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Grilled chicken - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

I have ordered the Chinese chicken salad with crispy chicken for years. The last two times I ordered take out the chicken tasted like fish. I assume that they fry the chicken in the same oil as their fish. I hate fish so I won't be going there anymore. I found it inedible for me. read more

We made an order to go on my birthday. When we got the order it wasn't what I had ordered. I thought maybe it just was made different. After searching for some fried shrimp in the chicken strips I took my order back. They were great to give me the order I had made first. There must of been some confusion in the phone order. The surprise was they included a piece of fudge cake and ice cream with my new order. Tasty Chicken and shrimp and yummy mashed potatoes. read more

I hadn't been to an Applebees in years, and went with some friends who picked it as the dinner spot. Yuck... It's just like I remember... Dirty, poor service, and bland food. The menus were visibly filthy and sticky - not appetizing... Spinach dip was almost flavorless. Queso burger was impossible to eat with your hands as it fell apart completely. The first round of drinks we got were basically just soda water since their machine apparently ran out of syrup. Our waitress clearly did not want to be there, as she spent more time standing around talking to co-workers or on her phone than she spent waiting on tables. Any refills we asked for took 30+ minutes and you'd get 2 tiny pieces of meat, making the whole bottomless chicken tenders and fries thing pretty pointless. Overall a miserable experience. Should've known better. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Gross menu - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

We sat down. 10 minutes later with 4 servers and still no service, We left. Boo Applebee's, Boo!! read more

This is by far the most unwelcoming place to go and eat for minorities. The Manager is real quick to treat African Americans very unpleasantly. Her way of doing business doesn't make sense . I grabbed the wrong purse going out the house, got to Applebee's and forgot I did not have my I.D to purchase my alcoholic drinks. I asked the manager if she could refund my money for the drinks, she says no because we already made them ,(?) then she said I can give you a gift card ? , i replied fine I guess that's ok, then she took down my name and phone number and said I'd have to wait 3days before they would call me to come and pick up my gift card ( yet they sell gift cards right in the restaurant so why would I have to wait ) I left and came back and witnessed the manager talking about me to other employees ( she didn't think I'd come back) so then she asked me to remove my mask as I am standing roughy about a foot from her, so she can see my face(?) Then she rushed to the bar area and proceeded to get my drinks and was very surprised to learn from the bar tender that yes I may be black but I also I have a job, a very good good, my intelligence out weights hers by a long shot and yes I'm calling them out. Will never spend my money at that location ever !!! Beware friends .... read more

No Cheese on the Mac and cheese, just noodles such a bad a bad experience. I ordered for pick up since they weren't letting people inside. When I called they placed me on hold for ten minutes and then hung up. I had to call back and be out on hold again, not worth the time or money. read more

Best applebees i've been to! 100% recommend. Hard workers and great service. On time and on point. They are a protected bar. Drinks and food are amazing. Didn't Want to eat at another applebees. read more

I have been coming to this Applebee's location for years. Today will be our last visit. We were seated and ordered without an issue. After 30 minutes of waiting for our drinks, Andrew, the manager, comes to the table and sits our appetizer down and leaves without a word. We haven't seen our waitress in at least 10 minutes, and we now assume she was on break. Finally, my husband gets up and goes to the bar where he fi ds our drinks waiting and brings them back. Seconds later, our meal arrived by guess who the manager Andrew, I spoke up and said I was really disappointed that we had to wait half an hour for our drinks and then go get them ourselves. He rudely retorted that they were busy. I looked around, and more than half the tables were empty. When we paid, we noticed we were also charged full price for our drinks even though we didn't have anything to drink until a half hour into happy hour. This restaurant has seriously gone downhill. read more

Their food is really good but... when I ordered two meals that both came with 2 sides, I was charged extra for those sides. I got ribs with mac & cheese and onion rings, which was my choice when I asked what I could have but when I picked it up curbside I was charged extra. I argued with the server and got the charges taken back off but just be aware. They also don't let you use more than one bonus gift card at a time. read more

I'm a regular customer at this Applebees and unfortunately this restaurant in Gresham is going down hill. And fast. Ordered food to go, upon pickup, I requested a price adjustment on my broccoli pasta (managers know as to why) when I ordered over the phone, and it never happened and didn't realized until after they ran my card. My "steamed" broccoli was cold and very hard, barely any BBQ sauce on the boneless wings. Kids meal drink was never provided, so I had to request it at time of paying. And on top of it all, no utensils were given, nor napkins. I was going straight to a football game and definitely needed utensils/napkins for my kids and I. When I noticed this when I left, I had to stop by Wendy's drive through to get some. In my opinion those things should be provided. Whenever I dine in, the hosts/waiters/ waitresses don't look happy and overall look miserable. I get during these covid times, things can be hard in the restaurant biz but don't let it show. Overall not a pleasant experience. Lucky to even get 2 stars for my experience. Hopefully things change. read more

The food was as expected. We got the 2 for $27 deal which was good. I had really wanted the $1 drink deal they offer, which online says this location has. But when I asked the waitress, she said they didn't do it. More towards the end of our meal, I heard the table next to us (they were sitting on the bar side) order the Dollarita, which made me unhappy, since I was told they didn't do it by my waitress. The staff should get on the same page about their deals. read more

It was just OK, middle of the road - the food was a bit bland. We had two waiters (shift change) one was very good, the other one substandard. Cannot beat them on pricing though. Parking was easy too. Overall, a three star review... read more

Ive been coming here for a long time but CRISTIN ruined the experience. It is not the customers fault she doesn't know how to do her job, she forgot to put everything on our tab. Accused us of walking out without paying when we did. She made a scene infront of all the customers very UNPROFESSIONAL of her. read more

I visited applebee's a couple days ago with my girlfriend and her brother. The staff was very nice, the atmosphere wasn't bad. But for us, that was a sugar coated entrance into a bad dining experience in taste and quality. Our waitress was nice and took our orders quick and when we weren't ready she made sure to check on us frequently, but no too frequently. We started out with appetizers and drinks. Chicken Quesadilla, hot wings, couple sodas and an alcoholic beverage called the "Shark Bowl". Upon receiving the items, the hot wings were not hot what so ever. In fact, they were actually BBQ wings. Order was incorrect, starting on a bad note. The "alcoholic" drink was given in what seemed like an actual half to a fish bowl. Nothing wrong there, considering the drink was $9. But the problem? Almost no alcohol. No sign of it at all. Tasted more like a sweet blue rasberry slushy with a gummy shark in it.The chicken quesadilla, was bland, had many ingredients from peppers, to different types of cheese, to tomatoes, etc... yet, tasted like a microwaved home version, not done well I might add. On to the main course. I myself got the chicken tenders platter. Fries and a drink. My girlfriend got Pasta rigatoni w/ garlic bread. Her brother got Baby back ribs with mac and cheese and french fries. The food arrives, and it all goes from meh, to worse. My chicken tenders. They were OK. No seasoning, needed to salt them myself. Fries accompanied them well, hard to screw up a classic combo. The brother's food, baby back ribs were decent, however, no meat. At least, barely any. Mac and cheese was covered in bacon, but some how, they still managed to make it taste like some hospital food. No seasoning. Nothing. The worst dish of tonight goes to the pasta and bread. Starting with the bread, You get one stick of bread, that's it.. but not like you needed more from here anyway. It was so crunchy and bland it was almost hard to swallow. Store bought texas toast was 10x better than that garbage. The rigatoni, was in-edible. It was rock hard, I'm not exaggerating, and the sauce was like a sloppy joe mixture. Caused my girlfriend to dry heave and have an upset stomach the rest of the night. I ended up spitting out the bite I tried of it. It was, hands down the worst pasta I've ever had. OVERALL: Overpriced, terrible food, but great service. read more

The food was super good and the price was good. They were even pretty nice about kicking me out. No cops or nothin, just a "hey Buddy you're outta here." If you order five of the $5 drink specials you can get a free movie ticket. Now I have several tickets to the movies. If I wasn't banned from most theaters I would go. Who wants my tix? read more

Used to love coming here. I don't know how to explain it, but for the last 3 visits the food hasnt seemed the same. Our meal doesn't go down good and We don't feel good after eating here. People are friendly, food going down hill , wondering if Applebee's going down hill all together. Won't be back to any location, sorry. read more

No matter how many times we ask them not to overcook they broccoli, they over cook it even more! It might as well take the place of the mashed potatoes. read more

Delivery driver was great. Applebee's and the food was horrible. Spinach and artichoke dip missing, breadstick missing, sour cream, butter and chives missing from baked potato, Mac and cheese was dry, French onion soup's "Crouton" was soggy instead of crisp. No utensils, no napkins, I've never had such a bad experience in my life. Overall bad experience. I want my money back, waste of $85 . read more

I've been coming here for years and the last few visits I have dealt with rude staff, but have been hoping that I would come back and there would be change but no. I have only had a good experience with two servers here one a blonde male and another female named Sam. Once a male server tried to add on different items onto our bill that we didn't even order and then tried to charge us for an appetizer of fries when they came with our daughters (age 3) kids meal. We did not even order an appetizers. Today I came in with my infant and my husband. When we arrived I went to the bathroom to change my daughters diaper. Right after a waitress came into the bathroom and was hitting her "vape" right next to our daughter and was on her phone. As I was finishing changing my daughters diaper an employee came into the bathroom visibly upset so I proceeded to ask her if everything was alright. I talked with her for a moment in the stall about two minutes when another employee came in and yelled at her to come out. Then not more than 30 seconds later the manager came in (I could see through the crack in the stall) and said "I don't know what's wrong with you but you need to get out of here now!" Like woah what happened to human decency. Completely disgusting behavior and treatment by the manager. I wouldn't want to work for her. I feel really bad for the waitress and don't think I'll be returning if this is the kind of company Applebees is now. read more

Thanks Vincent, for ruining my evening tonight. You are seriously not meant to be a bartender or be in any type of service related industry work. I had to write a review this evening in regards to my displeasure with the bartender here for dinner. Vincent, has absolutely no common courtesy, no rapport, no followup, and was too big headed for apologizing for an obvious mistake. If I was a secret shopper and I had to survey this restaurant this evening based on his performance this restaurant would have absolutely failed under his actions. In the beginning he was ok. It was a simple greeting nothing personable at all. He took my order and got my drink. After I received my food from him that was the last he would speak to me until he picked up my plate. Never once did he: *Smile *Ask me how I was doing *Follow up with me *Never offered dessert or additional beverages(no upsale whatsoever) *Offer me the check He seemed to be caught up making drinks for his associates and following up with his regulars that held a precedent over the other patrons here. I had to ask the hostess to tell the manager to get the inattentive bartender to get my check after waiting for 20 minutes. She tells the bartender and even then his other customers were still more important so he chose to serve their drinks first then attend to me. He gets my check and doesn't apologize for his actions or even discuss it to ease the situation. He gives me a dirty look and drops the check off with no thank you. He stuck around a little bit to watch over me as I signed my credit card receipt as if to see whether I was going to tip him or not. I still chose to tip him even though I was disgusted by his service. I tried to give you guys a chance after my last horrible service at your Vancouver location. It seems to me you guys really don't care about your customers here. So I think its time we went our separate ways. I WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN..... Update: 04/01/13, I came here not long ago cause my friends were already here at the bar. Still choosing to boycott giving any of my money to this establishment I walked in grudgingly into the bar and guess who was working? Yes, its Vince once again. I did not order a thing but I did find humor in seeing that you clearly remembered me cause you could not stop giving me dirty looks the whole time I was there. You obviously haven't grown up Vince. Hopefully you'll learn from your errors someday. read more

Had I did this review a couple of month's ago, this might have been a solid 3 stars. However, the location in Gresham managed to pull them down to a solid 2. I don't mind going to Applebee's for salad and their steak is good for lunch, nothing you'd rush the out of town relatives to eat, but a solid lunch choice. I went in on Thursday and they know us there because I meet my son for lunch a couple times a month. So, I was surprised when the hostess said, let me sit you in the bar, Megan, (yeah, Megan, I am calling you out by name) said she knows you. This game would later be explained to me by my son, that Megan had zero customers and they wanted us to give her some business, ie tips. We go in the bar area and I see one other table in that area with a customer. Okay, fine, she will be on it. Well, really now.. that jinxed me, I should banish those hopeful thoughts. Megan did not know me, or how to bring out anything. My son arrived and we ordered. We got the chicken won ton tacos for an appetizer. Those always come first. Not this time, salad and soup hit the table and about ten minutes later the tacos. She didn't refill drinks or come back. From where I sat I could see out to the rest of Applebee's where the customers were laughing and eating and unicorns pranced and magic fairies were refilling drinks as fast as customers could drink them. Then reality smacks me in the head and my plate comes from the kitchen from somebody else, other than Megan. So, I see bacon and cheese in little cups and think, mmmhhmm what is that? Since I didn't order them, I should have asked, but hey nobody came back. They were on the other side of Applebee's divider wall reveling in the unicorn magic of good service. So, when Megan did drop my check off and ran, I see I am charged $1.50 for the bacon and cheese. I had to wait for her to get done telling the other table about her trip to Mexico, to get her attention and ask what the charge was. She said you asked for EVERYTHING on the side. I said, no I asked for the sour cream on the side. She got a little snippy about it and insisted I asked for it and finally she says,"THIS ONE TIME..". Okay, anytime a server or any other person in the position of power over your final tab utters, THIS ONE TIME.. you know they think they are right and you are an idiot and please crawl out of there grateful for their act of kindness. I can safely say the next time I go back, I will be leaving covered in unicorn glitter. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - This is something u have to think about! - American Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Without hesitation I would describe Applebee's as mediocre. The highlight of my dinner experience was that the to-go boxes weren't even boxes but more like Tupperware (reusable and free!), and the low point was that the food tasted somewhat microwaved. (Not in a bad way, just in a microwaved way.) I give this place a solid thumbs sideways, my experience was adequate. They're open late and if you're already in the area might as well stop by for some moderately priced appetizers. Extra: There was also a very sad looking man making mediocre balloon animals and every once in a while we made awkward eye contact. I felt kind of bad for him. read more

It's not Great, but then not Horrible either. Average food, average prices, average service. Although the Hostesses seemed to rather chat with each other than greet guests. Any how, if you are out of ideas or everywhere else is just too crowded then give this place a shot. Other than that I wouldn't go too far out of my way. read more

Greeting and service is hit and miss. Sometimes we come in and wait for someone to notice there are customers, while sometimes we're seated immediately. Sometimes the server takes forever and sometimes they're just perfect. The crap on the TVs is boring, and the decorations are really cliche. At least most of them are pleasing, because who doesn't love those old photographs that are in every place. Food is just sub par, usually alright and cheap enough. I do tend to love the riblets but the amount of meat on them can be disappointing. Taste, though, is good. It's worth upgrading the two for twenty meals and get more, it's still cheap. And their artichoke dip is divine. Sometimes the food is great but I've not had a meal that was utterly awful. A bit charred yes, but not inedible. Really young crowd, can get loud and crowded. Oh well. Good enough for those days you don't want to eat at home and don't want to spend a fortune. read more

We had a nice surprise yesterday at lunch Not aware of the vets day appreciation The special menu had a good selection and was the usual very good quality We are regular customers and were pleasantly surprised by this Thank you from a grateful vet read more

The waitstaff and hostess did an excellent job greeting me and providing me with everything I needed.

Was ready in 20 min. Food was good husband had steak and I had shrimp . Steak was cooked as he requested.Coleslaw was very small maybe 2 tablespoons if that. Server who brought to car was super friendly and fast. read more

I don't come here near enough. Our waitress was amazing and fun. And the food was great

The server who took our orders was very attentive, jolly, and friendly even though we came in late at night. Everyone in there were friendly. The place was nice, clean, and not too loud like other Applebee's; it was however, chilly. They have late night happy hour so their appetizers were half off which was awesome. I ordered the Hot Shot Whiskey Chicken which I really liked because it was savory and really tasty. About my drink, I think it was delicious, but too sweet. Overall, me and my family had a good experience in this Applebee's, and will surely come back again if we are in Gresham. read more

The waiter was very interested in talking to the people at the table next to us rather than serving his tables. We waited a good 15 mins after we were done eating before he got done chatting and asked us if we wanted dessert. He had two other tables all turning to call him over to get boxes and checks. The steak was full of gristle and took forever just to cut. We are done with apple bees for a while. read more
