I haven't had Applebees in ages but I had a gift card so my husband and I decided to have lunch. It wasn't busy we were seared immediately. The server was nice but looked very flustered and overwhelmed. After some time my husband asked her is she was alright and if she was ok. She did mention their system was down and it was taking time to boot back up. We started off with the chicken wonton tacos the wonton was crispy and good but the chicken tasted ok but the texture felt strange to me. My husband liked them. He ordered a steak and mashed potatoes and I ordered the cheeseburger quesadilla with French fries. Side note: He said the beer was so good and so cold. The main dishes were good but the sides needed help. They weren't good, the fries were not crispy or hot and his mashed potatoes he said were just gross. We did try the new cookie dough skillet pie with a scoop of ice cream and that was delicious. read more

My husband and I wanted to try the ayce $15.99 deal that they have going on right now for a limited time. This includes the boneless wings, fries, riblets, and shrimp. For the wings and riblets there are various flavors/sauces to choose from. Along with it comes a side of cole slaw and your dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese. Just keep in mind, the first serving is the full size, while the following refills will be a smaller portion. Regardless, we left feeling very full. Customer service was great today as our waitress kept checking up on us for our refills. read more

This is my place to eat if you're looking to watch a game at a bar and don't wanna wait, every time I come to this location I always get seat at the bar. It's always kinda empty and you can't beat the prices they have really good deals and pretty food and I always get great service at the bar section, today I tried the O-M-cheeseburger and it was actually pretty good . The fries were really good also . And you can't go wrong with a nice cold blue moon draft beer. read more

Haven't been to an Applebee's in several years...my GF took me to this location for my birthday. The Buffalo chicken bites were good, decent blue cheese dressing. I ordered the Steak (think a top sirloin) with a baked potato. Meat was very tough even though cooked medium (sure sign of using frozen meat) and potato was obviously microwaved, and poorly. Server was nice...they aren't responsible for food quality, so still tipped adequately. I see why the have 2star rating. Won't be back. read more

Came to Lakewood Applebees for an easy date night, especially to try the Grilled Cheese Burger. When walking in, no one was at the front to greet us but saw the plenty of employees hanging around talking to each other instead. My husband ordered the Grilled cheese burger, it was alright but nothing exciting. I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss Burger, the picture looked delicious, it wasn't. There was little to no flavor at all and a huge disappointment. We then watched as all the servers were standing the back and watched the manager braiding a servers hair while walking around. They then congregated at a table and we super loud and cursing up a storm. I would have left a one star review, but our server Chris was the only positive in this bleak experience. I honestly doubt we will come back again. read more

I decided to take my grandparents out for a late dinner , around 9pm . I sent my grandfather the menu and looked forward to this all day. We received a cold appetizer of wings , and our burgers came out with a trash presentation less than a handful of fries and barely warmed burgers . (THIS is the least of our worries) . My grandfather received his plate of ribs , slightly warm . He wanted to order a second plate , and everyone kept ignoring us. 20 minutes go by , we finally were able to make an order . My grandfather made a comment stating about the waitress " why is she surprised I'm ordering a second plate on an all you can eat menu" . They proceeded to tell us the manager will be out to talk to you about the order. 30 minutes went by without any sight of management or a 2nd plate . He felt as if he was getting shamed for even wanting a second order on an already small plate . The service was horrible and honestly degrading. No one should feel ashamed to order food at a restaurant and at that , ignored for more than half of a hour . Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied , and honestly distraught. This establishment is not well organized nor is it friendly to all . read more

The service here is terrible they take long to get your food out servers barely ask you if you need anything or if your good but they quick to talk when you don't tip them and the manager could use improvement read more

Soooo we frequent this Applebees, enjoy sitting at the bar to catch a game. However, this trip, there's a bunch of dirty dishes on the bar top. The bar tender is a bit reactive instead of proactive, my service industry pet peeve, we had to ask for utensils after our meal was served, plus napkins, salt, pepper, ketchup. Anytime we needed something, we had to get her attention. Hubby's French fries look like the bottom of the barrel. Just not very impressed this round. Not that it's a place to be impressed, so I'll say this visit, while we only expected the usual casual ambience and good enough service, tonight was straight wack. Taste, service, cleanliness, all of it was just wamp wamp wamp. We'll keep coming. From time to time to Catch a game and have a decent happy hour drink, but tonight can't be forgotten. Had this been our first visit we wouldn't return. But because I know this is just tonight, and it's usually much better, I'll give them a pass, AFTER I share a review! read more

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner. I got the Bourbon street chicken and shrimp, came with mashed potato it was yummy. My fiancé ordered the chicken parmigiana and it was a miss, chicken was hard like it had been sitting under the heat lamp all day, the garlic bread was hard and chewy like leftover next day bread. Other than that server was so nice and attentive. read more

My husband and I love the evening bar server, Adriana (sp). She's polite welcoming, takes great care to be sure you have what you want. The majority of the foods we've had are good, with few misses. We love sitting at the bar to eat at most restaurants and Applebees is rarely ever super busy read more

Sat here the entire evening, a party of four. My family received their meal and I waited, and waited . How long does it take to grill salmon? Ok, I track down my server, he informed the manager. "My family ate their food, digested it, and I am still sitting here... the Manager attempts to make it right, how about a comp'ed meal. Really I am not impressed, This was truly a bad experience, not sure if it is a one off, however, I do not recommend this Applebees..just sad read more

The food is consistent, the wait staff are mostly attentive and the restaurant is kept clean. However the last couple times I have gone with my family we noticed that multiple TVs were showing not the usual sports or infomercials but they were tuned to the Scientology Network. I'll be honest, didn't even realize that was a thing until we saw it there. And the imagery is unkind at best. I'm a big believer in not yucking people's yums, if someone believes hey, more power to 'em. I'm not sure if Applebee's aligns with Scientology but damn, the programing was aggressive and it's making me not want to go back. Sorely disappointed as we've been going there for years. read more

What a great experience dining here at Applebee's Restaurant. With little Lya request for her after Grads Dinner, great pick. Before coming here, I already assumed there would be a waiting list to be seated and, of course, which wasn't a problem. The wait was approx 15min, which wasn't that bad. Chris was our server throughout the dining experience. Great customer service and hospitality were given. Thank you. He made sure he gave us enough time to order and to make sure the order was correct. Awesome, Chris! Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Appetizer: 1. The Classic Combo 5/5 Assorted delicious foodie for the hungry one(me) 2. Boneless Wings 5/5 Cover in Buffalo Sauce, well cool and delicious Main: 1. 8 Oz. Top Sirloin x2 5/5 The steak was medium rare and cooked to perfection with the side of broccoli and mashed. 2. Classic Broccoli Chicken Alfredo 5/5 Juicy grilled chicken is served warm on a bed of fettuccine pasta tossed with broccol and rich Alfredo sauce topped with Parmesan cheese. Served with a golden brown signature breadstick. 3. Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs 4/5 Full rack of ribs slow-cooked to fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Slathered with your choice of Honey BBQ sauce or Sweet Asian Chile sauce. Served with signature coleslaw and fries. Drinks: 1. Oreo Cookie Shake 2. Fruit Smoothies 3. Strawberry Lemonade Overall satisfaction! The flavor is delicious and tasteful. The only downside is the "Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs", it was overcooked and definitely not falling off the bones(little burnt). Hopefully, next time, it will be better. I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. They have a restroom for your convenience. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

We had a really disappointing experience at the Applebee's in Lakewood. When we arrived, we wanted to sit at the bar where there were two empty seats. The bartender, Andria, immediately told us we were not allowed to sit there because there was possibly someone sitting there already. I understand that seats can sometimes be held, but her approach was rude and dismissive. A simple "Let me check if the tab is closed" or "Let me find out for you" would have gone a long way, but instead we were shut down without any effort to help. We waited at the front of the restaurant for about 10 minutes, and during that time no one ever came back to those seats. We then asked the manager, Brittany, if we could sit there since they were still empty and explained what Andria had told us. Unfortunately, Brittany was also rude and dismissive. She said that if we sat there and someone came back, they would have to remake their drinks because we "took over their seats," which made no sense given that no one had returned. I also mentioned that because of this delay, we were now going to miss happy hour, and her response was basically "yeah," with no apology, no accommodation, and no concern for the situation. Overall, the lack of customer service, poor communication, and dismissive attitudes from both the bartender and the manager completely ruined the experience. This could have been handled so much better with a little professionalism and courtesy. read more

I saw the burger, fries and drink commercial and knew that was going to be in my tummy! It was so delicious! You can get it all for $9.99! The burger was delicious and juicy! I was so happy I ordered it! The fries? They were Meh. The drink is going to take me days to finish. I love the ice in the drink! I also ordered a kids size of onion rings (5) and they were delicious! I had my order delivered, so I can't speak of the Ambiance. So, when you see the Applebee's commercial for a cheeseburger or the chicken sandwich, eat it!!! I don't think you'll be disappointed! Please let me know what you think! I would love to hear from you l!! read more

Had lunch today for the first time in years. Place was clean and we were seated quickly. Waiter, Adam was great! Looks like the menu has been revamped. Lots of selection and great pics of all the dishes. Prices were good and they had a few specials. Also, they have 1/2 price appetizers from 3-6pm and after 9pm. Will be back for that. I ordered the burger special, which included the burgers, fries, and a soft drink for $9.99. Excellent value and the burger was cooked perfect. I asked for well done fries, but they came out undercooked. Overall a good experience. I will be back. read more

The food was good absolutely no complaints. But the service was horrible the waitress did not check on us once during our meal she said she would bring more napkins and never did. And at the end I needed a to go box and asked the waitress at the front and she said she would get me one and just proceeded to walk by my table about 5 times and not bring the box. In total I waited about 20 minutes after I was done eating to get my box. If considering to eat here go elsewhere. read more

I came to this location with my mother on Thursday evening the 26th of June for evening rations. I had the all you can eat riblets plus french fries and coleslaw. Fries were decent enough and coleslaw was satisfactory. Riblets were too much trouble with the bones. I ordered chicken tenders for seconds and I think there was too much batter for the amount of meat. Washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. It took a long time for the bill to arrive. After I paid there was another undue delay to get the paper receipt. I am dinging this establishment a point for the quality of the riblets and chicken tenders. I am dinging this establishment two points for issues with payment: one point for long wait in getting the bill and one point for undue wait in getting the receipt. If I was to assign a letter grade like is done in school this establishment would pass with a D. read more

We went late at night and our server Jose was rude and clearly preoccupied with a bigger group. We asked for a refill on a drink 3 times and it never came despite him walking past us multiple times to serve the bigger group. He never checked on our table either despite us being there for about an hour. We ended up just leaving and paying the check without ordering desert as well after waiting for 10+ minutes for him. Food was good despite the bad service. read more

We stopped by Applebee's hoping for a quick and casual dinner, but ended up leaving frustrated. We arrived before a large party and somehow got seated *after* them. My husband even had to remind the host that we were still waiting, even though we were told it would only be about a 10-minute wait. Once we were finally seated, things didn't improve -- we waited another 15 minutes and still hadn't seen a server. Meanwhile, we noticed other tables being seated *after* us and getting greeted within just a couple of minutes. A party across from us got service almost immediately. At that point, we decided to just leave. We didn't want to make a scene, but the lack of attention made it clear our business wasn't a priority. Really disappointing experience, especially since we've enjoyed Applebee's in the past. read more

It has been years since I been to Applebees. We put our name on the list, waited about 15 min. The workers greeting us & were polite. It seemed quite clean. They was drink specials but no happy hour on a Sunday. They were good 2 for 1 specials on a few meals. We got Artichoke dip, Mozzarella sticks and Pretzels with Beer Cheese dip: we enjoyed them all. My boyfriend's hamburger was on the dry side. Me and my daughter shared chicken fettuccine. Our chicken was pretty dry. Other than that, we will come back again to try other plates. read more

The food was good but the service was pretty lackluster as we had to flag down another server just to get another drink and once again to ask for a to go box and not even five minutes after we got our food the original server jose just brought the receipt and was implying for us to already pay when we had just got our food bad service and I hope the server and establishment can improve. read more

Friday night felt like a Saturday night at Applebees. Our Wait was about 25 to 30 mins. The hosts were kind & friendly. Our waitress was Tanya very friendly & helpful, she was very Patience with my girls when they were telling her what they wanted to eat. The food was really good & hot. AppleBee was so busy that even one of the kitchen manager brought our food to the table. Good selection for dinner and also $5 Michelob Ultra . The vibe was really positive. read more

Super Friendly staff and excellent customer service. Was looking for baby back ribs and I would say the ribs here are average. However, I did try the Prime Rib Dipper sandwich and it was delicious. The meat is slices extremely thin. It's a little salty side but the meat was tender and plentiful compared to other prime rib sandwich of other food chains. Parking is awesome as they have a dedicated parking lot. There happy hour drinks are a great price! The appetizer menu is similar to typical bar food menu, I wish they had a bigger variety/ selection of appetizers like lettuce wraps, Brussel sprouts, etc. read more

I will start off by saying this: you don't go to Applebee's for the food.... It is not good. (With the exception of the pub pretzels and cheese bites from the appetizer menu. Seems kind of hard to mess those up though). We HAVE gotten food/meals there a handful of times and...it's just not great. :-/ What gets my friend in there though are the "Monthly Sips". As you can see by my photos we've been quite a few times for those delicious bad boys! They were always $5 for the longest time... then went up to $6 and then to $7 (we weren't happy about that one). It's back down to $6 which is tolerable. ;-) There are several other tasty looking cocktails on the menu that we keep saying we need to try but never do. Maybe one day... read more

We live in Lakewood, Ca and don't visit Applebee's very often. We've been really busy this past week so ate at Applebee's two days in a row. Both days the food and staff amazed us-we were somewhat shocked as we thought that Applebees would be at the middle or lower end of the local restaurants-we were wrong. Thanks Applebee's for the great surprise! read more

This would be a 1 star if it wasn't for the bartender Bartender is the lost lovely woman, and let me know that she has to get the manager because my ID is bent in 2 places. Manager proceeds to tell me about how if any of her employees accepts my ID she will fire them on the spot, and goes on a long spill to say once my ID is cracked (it isn't) she cant accept it. For one, to threaten me with the livelihoods of her employees was horrible, and she was very condescending. After our mood had soured she took notice and continued to egg us on asking "have we been drinking tonight" which was incredibly odd, and starts bothering my friend who has at this point said absolutely nothing if "we're good". Horrible service from the manager, but again the best bartender I have ever had read more

I had a long day, and Applebee's was the only restaurant open late, so I stopped by for the first time. The bartender was incredibly sweet to me and recommended several great options since it was happy hour. Everything was so delicious! I sat in the bar area, which was very clean, and the service was quick. If you ever have any doubts about this location, don't! Just come, and you will love it. read more

I would like to give a five star review for our server, Jackie she was very attentive and very helpful very knowledgeable and we did not have to hunt her down for service. She came to us always asking if we needed anything else. We also had a good time there because Brittany was an additional help serving and will check in as well and make sure that we were taking care of, our had a wheelchair user she made sure to see us somewhere that we were comfortable and assured us that she would take out any chairs necessary to make sure the wheelchair fit nicely. She also came by to clean off our table so that we could enjoy the food that we were eating, I highly recommend this location for both of the servers who were very attentive thank you Jackie and Brittany for a great time at Applebee's. This location was wheelchair, friendly and very accommodating to making space for us. read more

One of my current favorite happy hour places! They have 2 valentines day drinks for $5 each. Tipsy Cupid - Vodka Lemonade: Tito's Handmade Vodka, strawberry and lemonade. The alcohol wasn't super heavy, could definitely drink a few of these. Date Night Daiquiri - Frozen, swirled Strawberry Mango Daiquiri made with Bacardi Superior. Loved that this drink was frozen, took a bit longer to drink because of brain freeze Came with a party of 4 for happy hour and they had us seat ourselves at the bar area. read more
