Cheryl was amazing, beer was crisp, food was hot. The atmosphere is always amazing and service was great today. I worked at 12hr shift in the heat today and wanted to take my lady out for a beer after work and ended up having dinner. Everything about it was awesome. Highly recommend read more

got the 6oz top sirloin steak with mashed potatoes and veggies for free because one of the many Veterans Day meals available. Loved that there was diversity in the meal choices for veterans. No other restaurant that I went to compared. Not a big steak person either, but this steak was chewy. Got medium rare and it was really good for me. I liked it. I was shocked! service was great. Just a bunch of kids working who were having a good time among themselves, but a not a bother to the guests. Addressed guests' needs right away and did not let their side conversations take priority. It was good hospitality. I was able to do my work on my computer in peace. I think that my waitress also forgot to give me the $5 coupon on the next meal, if I come here again, because I swear that is part of the Applebee's Veterans Day deal. Oh . I came there at around 2300 or 11PM when it was nearing closing time Very dim lighting. Many booths available as well as seating at the bar! I just wish that there were more...apple decorations? Bee decor? Idk. I just never understood the name and the restaurant was not like what I thought that it would be. I am just being nit picky, but this restaurant could be standout if they had something unique like that going on. I am asking for too much, I know. I like that this restaurant also gives a mini card for guests on Veterans Day. It was the cutest thing! They were picture cards from elementary school kids to veterans to thank them for their service. It was a heartwarming gift to receive and something that I am keeping with me at my apartment! No other restaurant did that, so I will plug in Applebee's as the best restaurant to go to for Veterans Day! No one doing it like them read more

I was very hesitant to eat here because i expected everything to be mediocre. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Service was fast and friendly. I did decide to order more than I needed which is my own fault. The server Kyle is hilarious and looks like Justin Timberlake 20 yrs ago. Give this location a shot! read more

I often visit Washington state to see family, and we frequently come to this location. I regularly order drinks here and completely understand being carded. Today, however, the interaction felt unprofessional. The server told me that because my ID was vertical, she needed to bring it to her manager to check. I handed it over without hesitation. After being gone for a while, she returned and simply placed my ID in the middle of the table without saying anything. I then asked if my ID was okay, and she responded aggressively, without eye contact, "Yeah, it's okay." I understand policies and ID verification, but communication and customer service matter too. If you tell a customer you need to verify their ID, it would be more professional to return and simply explain that everything checked out rather than responding in a dismissive manner. *She, the waitress we had initially, requested for someone else to serve us. read more

The service is impeccable! You are greeted at the door with a friendly face and then a nice waitor! Their happy hour menu has such a variety and love the fun drinks so much. You cant go wrong with 2 for $30! It will forever be a favorite of mine especially this location. read more

Going to restaurants isn't as fun when you're on a special diet. I just started keto with my family, so finding a place to accommodate us is hard. Leaving an event we needed a place to eat, so Bro said he likes Applebees because they have a steak and shrimp plate that's keto. Steak is hard for me to eat if I don't have barbecue or teriyaki sauce, so I opted for the caesar salad with no croutons (the waitress got me a breadstick instead, lol) and sis went with green beans and bacon (the kind you get our of a can). It was all fine. I miss getting their bone in friend chicken wings in barbecue sauce, but oh well. I made bad decisions my whole life so now I have to make better ones. read more

The greeter at door (Jack) is the best. Jack is really polite, nice and informative about the menu. Please let Jack know that Jack is doing a great job! read more

The service was great, our server was amazing and so sweet... but the food, everything tasted like it was frozen and had that freezer taste to it, this is our second time going and just being so disappointed with the food. Going out to eat is such a luxury right now, so when you do get to go you can't wait for the food and excited, we left feeling like we should've just ordered pizza from somewhere else instead. Hearing so many other tables complain around us about the food at the same time we were eating also was very off putting. We used to love Applebees but from now on for family going out nights we will pick somewhere else unfortunately. read more

Our experience was excellent at this location. We were greeted quickly after the hostess seated the people in front of us. Our server was there shortly after. Jacob has a cheerful demeanor paired with quick insight and a lighthearted sense of humor. When we started asking about warm drinks he quickly gathered I was looking for caffeine free options and also correctly guessed what I was thinking when I paused. He offered to make a fresh pot of decaf for us. He also brought water as well even though we didn't ask for it. He understood we needed a little more time with our choices and checked back with us in appropriate timing. I noticed he had great interactions throughout the room. He greeted regulars by name. Overall he made the evening pleasant. Our food was excellent overall. All looked like the menu photos or better. Everything was crispy, toasted, etc as expected. Our coffee was refilled appropriately without us having to ask. The onion rings needed a bit more salt but we were able to add to taste ourselves. We tried the new fried pickles and wow! Well done!! We both noted it seemed like maybe there weren't as many on the plate as we anticipated based on the photo for $10 but then again, we both said we're definitely coming back for those and we had more food than we could eat! The manager, manager in training, and general manager stopped by the table to see how our meal was. On the way out the door, the hostess saw us coming with our take home containers in hand and held the door for us. Overall, a great place to spent an evening with a friend! read more

I love their salads. Each time I have gone the servers always ask if I want a bit of extra dressing. I always do as the standard dress we d and tossed ratio is a bit light for me. Some may think perfect, other may think too much. Like the 3 bears haha. This last time however I asked for the usual extra dressing which is a small cup. She said, it's $1 extra. Ok. I get things have gone up in price. But that's a bit much. I'm not asking for ranch for fries. Literally asking for more of what already comes with the salad because it's not enough. Idk why, this just irked me. read more

Poor service . Food was okay . Soon as we were sat down we ordered drinks . I am pregnant and asked for Sprite . My sprite was given to me but taste like Starry . I told the waitress this isn't sprite can I get another drink ? She said it is sprite I probably need to change the syrup in it It's a starry drink I'll take a root beer though . I could already tell this wasn't going to be a good eat just because the waitress lied . We ordered our food and then I guess their PO System went down . Me again pregnant and my grandmother had to wait for about an hour- after our whole table got their food . The waitress came over and said I'm sorry I do not know what's going on back there . I don't want to go back there . It's crazy back there . So now she's blaming other people . The manger came over to try and comp us two free desserts and $25 dollars . This doesn't do anything for me or my grandmother Now my three kids are at the table waiting as we are eating . I think we've been here for three hours now And we are still waiting for our desserts on top of that read more

Food and service was okay. Went in for happy hour. Asked for a shot of rum with my appetizer. One ounce of Malibu rum was $10.25. Be warned, be sure to ask before you order. read more

Beware. Happy Hour sleight of hand. Deceptive pricing with drinks. What was standard for a long time, you order a $6 happy hour drink, Jack Daniels, for example, with Coke or other mixer. Last night, I was surprised when I got the bill that separately charged $1.50 for mixer with each drink. I checked the table placard and it now says for the $6 drinks, "on the rocks" yes, I know what that means, but didnt catch the phrase before ordering to ask. And nowhere did it say mixer is $1.50. As usual, be a diligent consumer, as weary and frustrating as it can be. read more

Well, where do I start? My wife and I were the first ones in the door for lunch today at 11. SERVICE was OK. We got the wrong order of wings to start off then we got a hamburger that was completely raw. when we first walked in, we sat at the bar and hope SERVICE would be faster. We told our server that we had a lunch hour to try and get our meals and four or five couples that came in after we did were served their food before we were served our raw hamburger. This used to be my late mother's favorite restaurant. She would be so upset right now. read more

Our server was gabby and she took care of us! The our main entrées came out when we were done eating appetizers and everything was a 10/10!

Food is good and service is kind and welcoming. Pretty alright applebees but nothing special

we liked the food. It was pretty good. The only problem we had was our waitress was not very attentive. read more

Unprofessional asf. Dined in 2/6/26 and server was destiny. She need to go back wherever she came from cause her service game is shit. She don't check on people and she serves guys that orders food after us, before us... not only taking mad fucking long to bring my food but when she finally bring it, it's not even cooked all the way then she wanna have a attitude when I want something else. Piss poor service zero stars, zero tips. read more

Food was amazing, steak was cooked to perfection. Extremely Accommodating for a late night near closing arrival. Music and atmosphere were both excellent. Energy over all was on point. read more

I ordered cardside to go..these plain gross nachos. This is supposed to be extra chicken and extra queso.. And so much for carside my fiancé ended up having to go in because I got a call regarding the order and how it can't be completed because 6 different beers were ordered..then almost as soon as I hung up they called back saying the order can be completed since they sell 6 packs Overall bad experience and gross nachos. read more

Honestly wasn't expecting much with 2.5 star average reviews...but this place was on point! Spot on service, great food ( I had a classic bacon cheeseburger, fries and a beer) and a clean welcoming facility. 5 stars cause for the money, you can't beat this place and I received my fries HOT....cant go anywhere it seems with getting lukewarm fries...its the little details I appreciate read more

I don't normally eat out at Applebee's, but one of their locations was nearby the hotel I was staying at in Lacey, so I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was good and I enjoyed my dish. I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla Salad which goes for $15.99. It was a fairly large salad and quite tasty. They put wedges of cheese quesadilla around the rim. It's in a tossed Mexican ranch dressing, which may not be palatable to everyone. However, I certainly enjoyed it. It's a little spicy, but not really hot. read more

This place is great. Management treated me great for Veterans Day, for that I'll keep coming back!

I always enjoy going to the nearby Applebee's for happy hour. Some of the appetizers are half price and very good. My favorite is the well made boneless wings with buffalo sauce, celery and blue cheese dip. It is a meal for me. Add a Michelob Ultra in a tall brewtus glass and it is the perfect low carb meal. I sit at the bar and am frequently given outstanding service by Max and Sandy. They are attentive and friendly. Part of the reason why I go here once a week. The restaurant is clean and spacious with multiple televisions often showing sports. This is my happy place. read more

I previously gave 5stars, but today was a bit of a shock. We went to lunch today. We ordered our app and stated we wanted the app first so I could decide whether I wanted an entree. After a long wait, my hubby's entree came out. We stated we didn't get our app and refused to take the entree. We couldn't get much service after that but finally our app arrived and it was wrong. As we were hungry we ate the incorrect app but decided to cut our losses. We didn't trust the kitchen to supply fresh entrees. Everyone has bad days, but today's experience didn't allow us to trust the kitchen. Our bill still included my hubby's entree but we got it removed and got out quick. Something clearly wasn't working right today which saddens us as we're pretty regular customers, or maybe were. Hubby doesn't want us o return for a while which is a bummer. read more

Everything needs improved, place is a fucking joke, food was gross, cold, and looked liked it came from the kids menu. Service wasn't any better, rude servers and hostesses and never got to see a manager,had to ask multiple times when our food was arriving kept getting same lame excuses. Had to send soda back multiple times because was missing carbonation. Last time I will ever eat there read more

I usually have a good experience at this location but unfortunately lately I feel like the customer service is going out the roof. The person that was hosting was super rude when I spoke them. They completely ignored me as I was standing in front of them. And continued to greet a person barely walking into the door. Was not helpful and helped the new guest before me. Although I had gotten there. The steak I had ordered didn't have much seasoning. And the new chicken pene pasta wasn't as good either. The noodles were over cooked. And all clumped together. The quality definitely was not there and neither was the customer service. Super rude. Never coming back to this location again read more

Food doesn't look anything like the pictures. I've ordered basically everything and I'm disappointed that not one item looked good. Service is pretty average. Some employees are loud, some a little attitude, nothing awful though. The worst thing is honestly the food wait time. There could be 100 people inside or 4 people and you'd still wait 50 minutes for your food. It's been like that for years regardless if it's busy or not. Don't know why the chefs are so lazy. And before you say "Just a bad location" or "just a bad area"! I've never had any problems with restaurants around here, and every Applebee's I've been too is the same thing. Im not here to spout anything, if you like Applebees, by all means keep going there, but me personally I'm not a fan. read more

We went for a drink and some food, the server didn't even know what kind of beer they served. She only brought one water and there weee two of us. We noticed how filthy the place was, finger prints and dirt of the windows - on the inside. Very dirty walls and dusty. It's obvious they don't keep it clean. The other customers were of the elderly crowd, I felt like a youngster. No problem with elders just the standards were noticeably lacking. The one redeeming factor was the man that greeted us was kind, friendly, and respectful. read more

Dinner at this location tonight was amazing.our server was John and he was very delightful and sweet he always made sure our drink was filled & always kept our table stocked with napkins and the kept checking on us throughout the night he is an amazing server!

Surprisingly, I had a pleasant visit. The server was very nice. We sat in the bar booth and she was also the bartender. I ordered off the 2 for $25 and the food came out accordingly and was nice and hot. I ordered the fiesta chicken several times before and this time was one of the best. The chicken was extremely juicy and the rice was hot. The garlic Parmesan boneless wings were salty, but it was also good at the same time. Cant really go wrong with the wonton tacos. I would visit this Applebees again in the future, but I am well aware that it may be a different experience next time. read more

I've been to Applebees at this location and always had an okay experience. I did get food poisoning last year when I went and thought maybe it was something else. On 5/20, my friends and I went and the service was slow and we ALL got sick after the meal. It was insane. I threw up everything that night. I'm not sure what they put in their food but somehow I'm always getting sick. Plz inform your staff and kitchen about food because this is wild. I'm convinced that Applebees gave me food poisoning. read more

Ordered take out for 4 , This was the worst to go food I've heve ever ordered from anywhere , The food was cold the fries tasted like they were made days ago and I think they just microwaved old food . Even my dog wouldn't eat it !! I have had a bad experience before here and thought I would give it another shot but never again read more

Food was good and the server attentive and couteous. The establisment is clean as always and well kept. I had a Dacrula Juice cocktail I believe it's for a limited timeb only, normally I don't drink sweet cocktails, but it was recommended by the server because she mentioned is not too sweet and it had tart as well. She was spot on. Thank you, Briana. read more

It's been years since I've been to a Apple Bee's and tonight we needed some good late night food. Wow, we're we met with goodness. Who knew they have an epic late night menu tons of food/drink is half off! We ended up ordering one of everything off the half off menu, a few milk shakes, and were out for under $40 feeling unbelievably stuffed with tasty delectibles. The food accomplished the task at hand, feed 3 people a lot of food for not too much money. The service, unfortunately, was a little inattentive. We weren't given napkins until we asked for them, the food took quite a while to be delivered, and it took 20 minutes to get our check. We weren't blown away by the service but nonetheless still happy we found a place to serve us at 9:30pm on a weeknight! Thanks Apple Bee's! read more

First time I've been here. Food was pretty good overall. I had a Caesar salad and my wife had some pasta. The atmosphere on this night seemed decent. Not crowded or loud. The bill was higher than I expected but again the food was pretty good. Our server was very busy and our drinks ran empty. That's probably the biggest complaint. I live nearby so I'll probably be back. read more

Average fare middle of the road. The young lady who's usually are waitress on Friday night is a sweetheart. The deal will you get two meals for like 35 bucks is totally worth it. On the other hand I wouldn't necessarily call this fine dining read more

Terrible experience yesterday. Hostess and waiter were very nice, but after waiting more than 45 min for our meal, I spoke with the manager. He had no compassion and offered no excuse for the long wait time (it was not busy). After checking on our food, the manager brought us some of it, mostly cold, and again was a complete jerk! I will NOT go there again. read more
