This was my second time dining at Applebee's, and it was much better than the one I went to in SF. I went with their All You Can Eat special, which had riblets, boneless wings, and chicken tenders. While the flavors of riblets were too salty, the service made up for it. Our waitress was attentive, checking in with us regularly and asking what we would like for our next refill.

Recently (see previous review) we had a great visit here on imola thanks to Jen the bartender. So we came back on a Thursday 1/30/25 with family (see receipt) and it was ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS in every way possible. BAD food which took FOREVER to arrive. when it did arrive part of my burger was extremely Undercooked, raw and stone cold fries. Immediately showed aisha our server. It was like kind of an annoyance to her, but she had it remade. Aisha kept disappearing. To be fair she did have way too many tables but you could tell she was burned out or just didn't care. My remade food showed up, was overdone, burnt ends on the meat. Hot but Stale dried out fries. I always's friend's husband didn't get the ranch that he asked for and the table behind us didn't get their food. It took a turn for the worse, in about 10 minutes for me to get extremely nauseous. Which continued into the next day with several trips to the bathroom. The table behind us was getting really upset because they didn't get some of the food that they ordered and their server went ahead and took that off their bill and still gave them the food. Meanwhile, we had to pay for bad food, bad service that made me sick Restaurant wasn't even that busy on a Thursday. WOULD GIVE zero STARS if possible. I looked for the manager, but he wasn't around. In fact nobody was around. Then i kid-you-not, seven or eight employees came out from the back to sing happy birthday for the table next to us, then disappeared again. nobody even cared about our experience. I AM local and NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN Check #9724 -1260296 And check #9724-1260297 on 1/30/2025

We go here so often and love it! This review is actually for the bartender/waitress Jennifer. What an employee they have in her! We watched her through our whole dinner, and she not only came up and talked with us for quite a while she did it with many tables and many people at the bar. Her smile and laugh are contagious and everyone loved her... I felt like we were in "Cheers" Where everybody knows your name! Such a beautiful girl inside and out! Thank you Applebees for another great dinner that is comfortable and clean with incredible employees!

California salads

Food and drinks the best. The server 100/10 she's was above excellent . Always coming to check on us always with a smile . We order crunchy taquitos. Potatoes wedges. The new special burger and the California chicken salad . Crunchy taquitos 9.5 great flavor sweet and sour .. the burger 9.1/10 one of the best burger I have tasted . The ambiance great vibes.... Come and check it out for yourself and ask for Julia she's the best!

I have never been to an Applebees although one location is not that far from me. I was vacationing in Napa Valley and decided to drop in. First off they serve my favorite Pinot Noir. On the suggestion of the bar server, I ordered the Cajun Chicken and shrimp. It was delicious. I accidentally left my purse there and called them to ask if they had it. I went back the following day and ordered the riblets. Yucky. I don't recommend this dish.

Stopped in today for dinner. My sever was excellent and the manager was very nice and helpful, she came to my table to greet me and asked if I needed anything. Nice ambience great service.

Steak was great, sad there was no sauce with the mash potatoes. On the menu it says "seasoned broccoli"...they were just plane and boiled. I feel like this dish can be great! Just with a few adjustments

Perfectly cooked - medium

Started off with the simple side salad that had chopped up tomatoes, cucumbers and croutons. I have to admit I was skeptical about the $12 Hamburger deal. To my surprise the quality of the burger was really good! I asked for medium & they cooked it perfectly. The burger and fries were hot. Warm cozy ambiance with big TVS for sports. Hard working staff. Nice Applebees!

Happy hour

I don't frequent Applebees that often but tonight I decided to get a quick bite since they have been promoting their Burger Deal. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The manager was walking the floor and visited each table, which was nice.

Gotta give some love out to Teika, she is a shift lead here, and if you ever catch her on her shift, ask for her for your waitress.

We stopped at Crush Lounge for a late lunch, and it was totally perfect for our needs…read more The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a BLT sandwich with French fries. And it was so good- lots of crispy bacon and fresh tomato and lettuce. The bun was fresh and soft but held up well (read not soggy) against the tomato and mayo. My husband opted for the soft pretzel, was was piping hot upon arrival and came with two sauces- a mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. We finished it all. The sandwich was so large, I took half back to our room to eat for later. Crush Lounge also has a small bowling alley with several lanes. We didn't get to try it as it was reserved for an event, but this is such a cool feature of the property. This is a solid spot for a quick bite to eat or for drinks when staying at the Meritage.

There's music playing, but it's at a perfect level where you can still easily hold a conversation. The bar area also has multiple TVs if you're looking to catch a game. The space offers more than just drinks, with a small bowling alley (six lanes) and a pool table, making it a great spot to hang out. Bathrooms are located just outside the lounge, down the hall near the elevators. Service has consistently been solid during my visits. Staffing has never been an issue, and it's always been easy to get help at the bar. The drinks are well-made and flavorful, though on the pricier side. The only food I've tried so far is the carnitas nachos, and they're definitely worth ordering. Overall, it's a fun spot for both adults and kids, and it's usually our first stop after checking in.

We had a great dinner at Napkins with a party of six and were seated outside on the patio…read more I was a little disappointed by the limited selection of red wines available by the glass, especially since I really wanted a glass with dinner. They did have several nice bottles to choose from, though. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and took great care of our table. We started with the pastry appetizer and the mushroom arancini balls. Both were good, but neither was anything that completely blew us away. My husband and I both ordered the halibut, and it was fantastic. The portions were generous, the fish was incredibly flavorful, and we both absolutely loved it. Everyone else at our table was also very pleased with their meals. The only unpleasant part of the evening was not really the restaurant's fault. The people seated next to us kept putting their small dogs on the table and allowing them to eat off their plates and lick the table. I have dogs and fully support bringing them along to dog-friendly restaurants, but that felt very unsanitary. I do think someone from the restaurant should have asked them to stop, although I'll give the staff the benefit of the doubt that they may not have seen it. Overall, we had a really great experience and would definitely recommend Napkins. I'd give it a solid 4.5 stars!

TLDR: Super attentive service in an adorable classy space. Instagram worthy drinks but food…read morecould've used a bit more attention Our waiter was the sweetest guy. He told us about the specials and I took him up on the special: shrimp ravioli in lobster sauce. Sadly, it was very bland and lacked the "lobster" flavor in the thick sauce. The drinks were awesome. Totally recommend the drinks: Midnight in Italy and Fume Midnight in Italy was basically a very well served Manhattan. But it was gloriously served. Giant cube ice cube, really lovely rye whiskey and the perfect orange garnish that added to the senses as you sipped Fume arrived in a light fixture like glass box that you open to retrieve your drink. It's filled with smoke to add to the drink's experience. My hands smelled like smoke hours after the dinner. The drink was tasty. The grilled pineapple was tasty. But it was more showy than tasty. Baker brie was insanely delish. It was the best baked Brie I had. Perfectly balanced with the honey and pistachio. The iceberg wedge salad was as you would've expected. Decent sized Maybe we didn't ordered the dishes that they were most popular for so I was disappointed. Will have to come back and try another round. Especially for the drinks.

a must try for breakfast when in Napa! Wow!…read more The location is very convenient. Large parking lot (it actually is in the same parking lot as a beautiful movie theater). You walk in, order, pay, grab a number and they will bring it out to your table. We had the chilaquiles and the cornmeal pancake (both gluten free). I also ordered one tostada (you can order 1 or 2, but I wasn't too hungry). The pancake was out of this world! It was on the sweeter side but we loved it. The pork in the chilaquiles was amazing and so tasty! Highly recommend full coffee bar! (no sugar free syrups available) I do wish they upgraded their tea service. They basically give you a cup of water with one tea bag, and we had to go and ask for extra water a couple of times.

Great new lounge/sports bar spot in the Marriott!! I was looking for a place with the Sunday ticket…read moreand South Yard hit the spot. 1. South Yard has a lot of TVs and is open early so you can watch your east coast games! 2. While the restaurant is outside, they have heaters and fire pits throughout the space for chilly weather or evenings. Dress accordingly! 3. Large game area with cornhole, air hockey, and funky play-centric furniture that makes it friendly for kids and adults alike. 4. You order via the QR code on your table and then the staff deliver your drinks, food, etc. They have a condiment table with tons of sauces and toppings for your food. The ordering process can be a little wonky (slow, and they ended up having a bunch of receipts for my table and I had to do multiple transactions when closing out) so be patient. 5. They have bottomless mimosas and you mix your own - so you can get your preferred proportion of wine and juice. They also have a Bloody Mary bar. 6. I have a guilty pleasure for cheap light beers and they had Coors Light for $2 on Sunday. They also offer craft beer on tap/bottle/can and cocktails. 7. I had a delicious Lola Farms sausage sandwich with housemade chips. Very good. I also had pretzel bites - the pretzels were good, but, the sauce was some type of beer cheese dip. It wasn't that great - too tangy! Next time I'll try a burger or breakfast sandwich. They looked really good. 8. The staff are extremely friendly and gracious. I was checked in on by servers regularly (but not in an annoying way) and they all chatted with me and made me (as a solo diner who loves her football) feel very welcome. Marriott management also checked in, which was nice. Pro-tip: Get there early to get the game of your choice and a good table! I will surely be back!

Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. After being seated, we waited about 25 minutes before finally flagging down a waiter to ask if we were even in his section. His first explanation was that they were going through a shift change. However, I couldn't help but notice that he was actively serving the other tables around us while seemingly avoiding ours. Later, we were told he was new and didn't know much about the drink menu, but that didn't explain the lack of attention throughout the meal. After we finally placed our order, our food arrived before our drinks. During the rest of the meal, our server never checked on us, never asked if we needed refills, and never followed up to see how everything was. We felt completely overlooked. As for the food, it was subpar and didn't make up for the poor service. This was our first time visiting Napa Valley from the East Coast, so we were excited to try a local brewery. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for, since we have plenty back home. I wish I had read the reviews before dining here. I can only speak from my experience, but I'd recommend future diners manage their expectations and decide for themselves before visiting.

Been coming here with my pup to watch the World Cup games and this spot is the vibe!…read more A few things I've had over my last few visits and my thoughts on each 1. Steak frites: steak was meh but perfect medium rare. Fries were deliciously crispy for steak fries 2. Fried chicken sandwhich: very mid 3. Chicken wings: I did dry rub with the sauces on the side. I liked the ranch with the umami, but im not a fan of the smoked chicken. 4. Burrata: mid 5. Poke tostadas: best thing I've had on their menu and they don't have it anymore. I wanted to cry when they told me 6. Salted caramel pudding with shortbread pieces and macadamia nuts, hold the nuts: absolutely delicious dessert, very sweet! 7. Smash burger: pretty good. I'd get two patties next time Drinks 1. Float the River: hold the grapefruit. It was boozy s as heck 2. Dirty Shirley: decent 3. Cucumber drink: This was an off menu drink they used to make for me and then stopped making it. Maybe they ran out of cucumber? Idk. But bring them back! Wow I really been coming here for a minute.

From the outside it doesn't look like a garden or even a beer garden but this place is a full on sports bar. The US mens national team was playing at noon for the world cup but we showed up at 10:30 am. The owner told us he was stressed because the whole place was reserved and packed for the game which wasn't very welcoming. The servers looked extremely busy so we kept having to ask whoever ran by for something we needed. The food, thankfully , was spectacular. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich no cheese with sausage and I wish I could have fit another in my stomach. The biscuit was huge and flaky and tender and the eggs were fluffy. I shared it with my kid with a side of tots and it was scrumptious. I asked for the aioli on the side but it was lemony with a spicy kick. I hadn't had something like that but it was a nice fresh creamy taste with the tots and sandwich.

The fish was perfectly cooked, and the portion size felt fair for the price. The staff struck a great balance -- friendly and attentive without constantly interrupting the meal to ask if everything was okay. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. At one point, the music was slightly loud for my liking. Another guest politely mentioned it, and the staff immediately turned it down and made sure everyone was comfortable. That kind of responsiveness really stood out. What truly went above and beyond was what happened after I left. I had forgotten my hat on the seat, and instead of just putting it in lost and found, our waiter actually ran out of the restaurant and caught up with me before I crossed the street to the parking area. That level of care is rare and genuinely appreciated. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I'd absolutely bring my family here -- kids included -- and would recommend it to anyone considering stopping by. .

Service needs improvement…read more We went to this tavern to watch the World Cup soccer game. I was with a party at four and our dog. We sat out on the patio, which was dog friendly, which was very nice My gripe is that the service was rather slow, and the server wasn't very friendly. The kicker was we were ordering off the happy hour menu, which goes until 6 PM, and around 5:30 we asked the server if he would come back in about 15 minutes so that we can get our last order in before 6 PM He came back at 5:55 and we ordered a few more things from the happy hour menu and he said "happy hour is over, you can no longer order off the happy hour menu." I asked him "how can that be? It's still 5:55. The menu clearly states that happy hour goes until 6 PM plus we asked you 30 minutes ago if you can come back in 15 minutes and you said yes." He said he was told that happy hour is over and he can't take any more happy hour orders I told him to ask his boss or whoever told him that to come over and explain it to us He said the owner told him that I asked him please have the owner come over and explain that to us He went over and talked to the owner and then came back and said I can take your happy hour orders But that's just uncalled for you. They have a happy hour to attract business and they need to honor it. If it's 'till 6 o'clock they gotta take happy orders 'till 6 o'clock. Cutting people off five minutes early just results in upset customers. It's poor way to run a business. Other than that, the place is OK Food was all right, nothing to write home about. I won't be coming back.
