This is my Cheers! Very reasonable prices on food & it's actually pretty good. Great Happy Hour & the service is really good as well. The only thing I would suggest is to update the inside a bit. Probably the only chain I will give this high of a rating! read more

Decided to try it for a burger and fries yesterday! Bad Idea, nothing but excuses, really bad. Done

It's been quite awhile since I've been to an Applebees. If I'm back anytime soon, it will be too soon. Our dinner just wasn't good - neither of us could finish, not because we were full but because the food just didn't taste good. We ordered the 2 for $25 - an app to share and your choice of three different entrees. The $25 was really just a tease - you could pay $3 more to expand the menu to 6 items, $6 more for 9 choices. We chose to share the mozzarella sticks and I had the cheeseburger while hubs had the fiesta lime chicken. We didn't wait long at all for our app. I would have rather have waited a few more minutes for the sticks to be melty hot - not just warm. They were very unremarkable. Shortly after that, we were served our entrees. I took a fry from my plate and one bite was all I needed to give a great big no - I eat salt on everything. The fries were so salty that I couldn't eat them. The burger was equally disappointing. I ordered it with no pink. It was burnt crisp around the edges yet was red, not even pink, in the center. It was so greasy that it was hard to hold the burger together. Putting my burger down on the plate left me with a soggy bun - it absorbed so much of the grease. I got my fries remade but by the time I got them everyone was done eating. My husband described his chicken as "limey". To be fair, it has "lime" in it's name but it was overpowering. It was drowned with the Mexi-ranch dressing which just made a soupy mess. He eats most anything you put in front of him but in this case, he made it through about half of his meal before he just gave up. While our dinner was very disappointing, there were a few bright spots. Our service was terrific. The drink specials during happy hour are quite the bargain. Applebees gives you a free dessert on your birthday that's good all month. If it's free, it's for me! It was delicious. We ordered the mini cinnamon rolls. They were hot and gooey and oh so sweet. They were so rich and the serving size so large that it took us two days to finish them. I might be willing try Applebees again for happy hour. I just won't be back for a meal. read more

We attended this restaurant's soft opening party when our best friend's friend was the original owner of this store. Over the decades since, it's been a reliable Applebee's! I've typically sat at the bar to get better service. Right now it looks like they have a $1 margarita special for a limited time. This store is so old I can't imagine it has aged well but I hope I am wrong. It's a solid place to get a fast casual dinner or lunch. It's in a good location on Madison! read more

Came for Happy Hour and order the food options no drinks. Also ordered the 2 for 20+. Service was friendly and quick. Places wasnt very busy around 6 pm or the weekday. TVs are available to watch games at the bar. Light music playing. Booths, tables, and hightops available. Food came out hot, we ordered more.than we could eat at the time. Took food to go. read more

We haven't been to Applebee's in several years. One of the grandkids saw an ad and wanted to try the boneless wings. There were four of us. The food was quite good, but the service was great! Becky was our server. We will definitely ask for her again. read more

I am a worker for Applebee's, on Hughes rd. In Madison, and I can honestly say..it's been the best job I've ever had and work for, the management is very magnificent, professional, and overall good quality work. The food is great, the cooks are top notch, good places to work if you are interested into the food organization.. read more

I came here for a night filled with fun and friends, and man oh man it was disappointing. I was looking forward to a delicious pasta with chicken and golly gee was I disappointed. It took over and hour for my food as my friends had already finished by the time mine arrived. When I received it the pasta was watered down with 3 little tiny chicken fingers the smallest I've ever seen. Would not go back. read more

I've been going to this place for years, ever since 2020-2021 and it has so many memories with me and my mom. The food is great and service is comfortably fast. Place is very cozy and that's the main reason why me and mom go there most of the time . My broccoli Alfredo is my common favorite. This is one of my heart home restaurants. read more

Pretty good spot. Cold beer. The appetizers are pretty good. The interior is dated but I enjoyed my time. Tony is a good barkeep. I'll be back. read more

The food was good but customer service was excellent! Our waitress was one in a million she could teach customer service!

The fries have lots of seasoning the ribs are good on the other hand and My burger was good but it had not a lot of flavor and the drink was good and overall it was a good meal read more

Decent food and service in the neighborhood! Ambiance is usual casual B's. Menu does change enough to keep it interesting..

We haven't had Applebees in decades. We ordered our food and watched our drinks sit at the bar for a while. They brought my dinner out and later brought out my husbands dinner with our appetizer! Everything was cold. I found a hair in my food. My stomach still hurts. Our server was nice but unfortunately we won't be back. I'm really surprised this place is on business. Bennigans was always better! read more

I don't blame our server for this Restaurant Management's failure. After ordering and waiting for our food (we already had an appetizer), our server informed us that they were out of Orange chicken Irresista-bowls. This was why were chose to eat here in the first place. So, lost a few stars! Who runs out of there most advertised entree!?!? Terrible! The place was busy and clearly understaffed. Our server was doing the best to her ability but forgot a few things we had asked for, it was frustrating, but she was too busy (there was a table of 16 next tto us). I could also tell my chicken fajita roll up had been sitting there a while my husband had to reorder. I probably won't be back. read more

We have been going to this Applebees for years. We have a special needs son who is always treated nice and we are very well taken care of. Current management is outstanding. The manager always greets us, helps the staff, and goes out of his way to show kindness. The staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for making our weekly visits so comfortable, we feel like family. read more

Ordered Chicken quesadilla. Disappointed! Only one tiny square of chicken in each small piece and very little cheese. read more

We actually enjoyed our food it was decent but then they turned up the cold air and we were freezing. We told our waitress and she said she couldn't do anything about it And that they had the problem last week and they didn't do anything. read more

The first thing that caught my attention is they stopped serving Baked Potatoes. That should have been a red flag. Steak without a Baked Potato is not good. Garlic Mashed Potatoes is not a good substitute. I ordered a Bourbon street steak which was always good. Or so I thought. It took 40 minutes for me to get it. I ordered medium, It came well done. Even the fries were old and cold. This used to be a great place to eat. Since Covid-19 it's awful. read more

Veteran-friendly. Veteran parking and a 10% veteran's discount if you remember to ask for it. Good food, not too expensive. Service is good, friendly, and not overbearing (they're not asking you every ten minutes if everything's okay and would you like to buy something more--they're just there when you need them). As chains go, it's a good one. read more

Overall a good experience, my friend and I had the got the 2 for $22, Fiesta lime chicken and mozzarella sticks, the chicken and mozzarella sticks were real good, the rice was a little dry but not bad, my wife's meal was good also, the only real complaint was the booth seating was rather cramped with little leg room for a 6' 1" person. We definitely will go back. read more

I have loved Applebee's for years .. and was glad one was so close to my new home in Madison .... but alas my joy was not rewarded... as has been mentioned before staff is friendly but the food is not good. Been twice .. 1st time the fried shrimp was all bread and did not taste good at all... 2nd time I had the tried and true appetizer sampler... just not good ... spinach dip was off... wings were ok but over done... hate to say it but will not go again ... sad .... read more

I ordered a burger medium and what I got was medium raw. The waitress was nice however.

Happy with their burgers and fries. I have also tried the boneless wings. They are good but sometimes kinda fatty. Their service is good and they are attentive. I will keep going to this Applebee's for sure. read more

Applebees is pretty much Applebees...I have never really had a horrible experience and I have never had an awesome experience. The food has been the same across the board as well, I WILL say that the staff here seemed to be more friendly than any other Applebees I have been to. I would definitely go again someday. read more

Great phone service and good food. Our servers name was Logan and he was incredibly kind and delightful.

No local beer on tap and they took a while to undercook my steak and over cook the shrimp on top. They offered to recook it but I was too hungry to wait longer. I decline the offer. No discount on the check. Servers were nice enough. I guess, at the end of the day you just can't expect too much out of an Applebee's. read more

Chris was our bartender tonight. He was cut and dry but did his job well. Orders were right and he was friendly overall. The food was amazing and the drinks were wonderfully mixed. Tons better than one of the other bar tenders there. Keep it up man. We will see ya next time. read more

I give 'em three and a half overall. My Strawberry Shake was very good. Anthony gave us very good service at early suppertime on a Thursday. My wife ordered the Ultimate Trio appetizer and shared it with me. The slider cheeseburgers in it get a four and a half from me. They were considerably better than they used to be. The steak quesadilla towers I didn't much care for, as I wasn't much in a mood for spicy. I give them two and a half. The chicken tenders were average. The "mild" sauce on them was a bit spicy for us. Next time we'd get the honey mustard sauce. They did hold the doors open for us! That was a memorable detail of hospitality. I see a lot of this in Madison, of young people opening doors for guests. Do they teach this respectful consideration in school here? read more

Parking is never fun here, you have to almost park at Kroger then walk. The food is never good, based on the 3 trips I have had here. The servers do not know jack about anything on the menu. It is always too loud for me in here, compared to other Applebees I have been to. Nothing makes me more mad than when a server says "it's a lot of food" or "oh yeah that is so good" when in fact they are both false. Happens here all the time. I don't think they will ever see me again. read more

This place was awesome. The service was great. My waiter was very friendly. It was clean. It was fast as well. My food came out right

We have been coming for a few months now, about 5-7 times and we always receive great service. Drinks are cheap at night and appetizers are half off with a drink purchase. And ofcourse the food is always delicious! read more
