We used to come here a lot. It was close, fast and friendly. It is still close by but the service is almost null. We have been here 45 minutes. I have a water and my husband is on his second diet. The appetizer was delivered and was finished by the time the silverware arrived. We had ordered an entree to split...burger no pink....instead red and no extra plate. Hardly anyone here but waited 10 minutes to be seated. I think I know why. read more

Always decent food. Staff is always friendly. A pleasant place to eat both for adults and kids

Food was good. Same as all Applebee's. Staffing was short handed but we know that wasn't their fault. The same as with anywhere right now, plan on waiting a little longer than normal at peak times. Our waitress was very nice and the service was quick once seated. read more

This will be short. See the pictures I took on my recent visit; what I received vs what is advertised. False advertising at its finest. I get that restaurants take staged pics of food for marketing, but this is quite the stretch. The only saving grace for this visit was our friendly waitress hence a two star review instead of a one star. read more

My favorite take out spot since Covid! They ask all the right questions on the phone, always verify my order before sending, and are always so nice and accommodating. I will drive past other locations to specifically come to this one. Thanks for being the best! read more

Ordered carry out for my family of 5, even though the carside was very busy, they were very fast, friendly and efficient. Our food was all correct, hot and delicious! We've been coming to this location for year's, and I swear they don't skip a beat, they're always right on top of things, food is always picture perfect and delicious. Even when they're busy you always see a manager stopping by to ensure everything is great! Thanks for always making our experience fantastic! read more

Ok (sigh), so I usually only come on this app when I have a bad experience to let others know where NOT to go. Although tonight was not an an overall awful experience but our waiter (or waitress, don't really know), was quite rude. Firstly me, my baby brother, and my good good friend were all in the mood for milkshakes and this "thing" of a waiter/waitress sighed and said "oh it's fine, it's just a lot of work." Like IM SORRY BUT WHERE TF DO U GET OFF!! Secondly they were quite judgmental toward our food choices, then once our food got here we were given no utensils, so u think I'm a goddamn animal. And finally this waitress/waiter says to us that they are actually out of ice cream now, well nobody at our table believes that bullshit, they just didn't want to do what's best for their customers. Other than that the food and milkshakes were very good read more

I do not recommend this branch for anybody ...I took my family "two adults and two kids" there, on Jan. 28 .. we wait 10 min till we get seated .. we ordered our food at 5:20... at 6:25 the waitress came to ask us if we need refill for the drinks without noticing that we didn't get the meals or at least the appetizer! I paid the drinks and we left! read more

We didn't even get to eat there. The hostess was seating a group ahead of us, which she seemed put out to be doing. She didn't make eye contact with us and mumbled a response when we asked how long the wait was. We ended up going to Leo's. read more

Excellent service and the food was excellent also. Their Thai shrimp salad is among the best My friend had a hamburger and loved it.

Worst experience I've ever had. Rude staff. Order was complete wrong. I ordered an UberEats delivery from them but had to go pick it up myself which was not an issue. I show up to pick up my order the door is locked (mind you they were not closed and had multiple employees and customers inside). Their employee (blonde hair girl, fuller built) looks at me several times as i knock on the door to be let in to get my PAID for order. She acts as though she cannot see me or hear me through the glass doors. Around to fourth time she looks at me and passes by she act as though she's on her phone. I call the restaurant several times, no answer. Finally another employee (smaller pretty girl w brown hair in a braid) comes over and finally opens the door so i can get my food. The other girl continues to act like she cannot see me even when i walk in an greet her. I go to "to go" there is no one in line but the taller blonde girl working says she needs to take care of another order before helping me. I wait and a costumer points out that the order ready and paid for in the box near the desk could be mine. It is, i thank him and leave. THEN I get home and my order is completely wrong. I do not have any of the ranches that come with the meal or extra sauces i paid extra for, instead there is an abundance of marinara sauce. My burger was missing the fries i paid for. My food was sloppy and cold. An assortment of other chips were mixed into my spinach artichoke dip. Quesadilla looked pathetic (one puny piece, probably a little bigger than a quarter, then three other small pieces). Dry boneless wings, even though i ordered garlic Parmesan. No sauce. Safe to say I will never be wasting my money on this place ever again. read more

We love karissa jackie and Cassandra!! Half off apps!!! Great drink specials!!! Amazing broil cook!!!! read more

Health inspector needed ASAP!!!! Don't eat here!!!!! Where do I start. My experience at this applebees was absolutely horrific. First and foremost I ordered a steak at medium temperature only to receive a lump of charcoal. Thinking this was the worst it could get; I was wrong. Have you seen Texas chainsaw massacre? Well my medium well cheeseburger must've been a prop of the movie. It was bleeding excessively due to it being completely raw!!!! Don't believe me? Look at the photo. By the way we got very sick from this establishment. After attempts to speak to the representatives from Applebees, I haven't spoke to anyone yet. The health inspector for the area will be contacted. read more

I had a really good experience. The place is very clean and the service has been solid. They make great burgers.

We were sat at a table with three kids that had very little light due to blown bulbs in the fixture. We brought this to the attention of the server, and it was never addressed. The server then never checked back for drink refills or to see if we needed a box. We had to stop her in her tracks when she brought our card back and she just wanted to rush past. The food was mediocre. The plates were warmer than the food, fo all the dishes brought. I have an infant and went to change him, and was about run into with the bathroom door twice because the changing table was directly behind the door in the men's room. Very disappointed for a nearly $50 dinner. read more

We came here for a birthday, while we were there another party got happy birthday sang to them. While, when we asked for the same treatment we were denied because "there weren't that many servers working" this was supposed to be a special 18th birthday and we came here specifically so the staff could sing when they brought out desert. Should have went to Red Robin read more

Absolutely horrible and will never ever go back. Hair in our food. The waitress Kathleen horrible. Told the manager and he didn't even offer to do anything and than I had to tell him that I was not paying for the meal that we had the hair in. He never ever said sorry. My daughter friend ordered fettuccine Alfredo with no broccoli and it came with broccoli. read more

We love it here! Kathleen is our favorite server but there are so many awesome servers here! Food is usually great, if we have had issues they are always quick to fix it. Dining area and restrooms are clean. They can accommodate us quickly when we come with a group after church. We eat out a lot and this is our favorite place! read more

So I decided to finally visit Applebee's on my lunch break. Walked in and there was no hostess. All of the waitresses kept looking over at me and just kept waiting tables. Finally after about 5 min of waiting a hostess came over and seated me. I ordered the new Thai shrimp salad. So excited to try this salad and the chili line dressing. The waitress was very nice and fast and the salad tasted great! The dressing was a little too spicy for me but I ate it. Honestly... 15 min after I got back from my lunch break my stomach started killing me!! The worst pain ever.. I received food poisoning from a salad. Completely shocked! How does one obtain food poisoning from a salad. Was the shrimp not done? The lettuce contaminated? Low and behold my friend went to a different Applebee's and got a completely different salad and received food poisoning as well. Beware!!! Applebee's had some type of contamination with there salads. Either they are cross contaminating the lettuce or the meat is not done. Either way I will never in life go back to an Applebee's and I suggest to everyone I know to never go. These chain restaurants are clearly not taking cleanliness into account. The fact that I went to this Applebee's and my friend went to a completely different one and we both got sick from a salad says something about the chain. read more

Super nice and thorough staff at carry out. Made the process super easy and simple. We got our food right away, barely had to wait. Great service and great food. read more

This place is one of our all time favs...the food is great! Clean and quiet setting makes watching football easy to do at this location!

Good hamburgers I've had them all and there all good.i would not recommend dessert there two small they need to bring back Apple crisp.

One of the best applebees I've been to. Good service, good food.

We've had consistently good service at this location. Rarely a wait to be seated, and the service has always been good. Wide food selection with a new menu and some new choices. Food is good, not amazing, but consistent. Convenient location too. read more

Service was good & food was to be expected. Restaurant was clean and they were not very busy for a Sunday.

Last night, I brought the family for a quick dinner. Our hostess was very kind of finding us a good table (site was packed) so I could watch the Colombia - US baseball game. She was always smiling! Then, we ordered food. It came fast but my order was messed up. My ribs didn't arrive. The manager was kind enough to stop by our table, acknowledge how ridiculous the situation was, and then, after getting my order right, he cleared the food out the check, so we ended up eating for free. I think that the right attitude of the staff deserved 5 stars. Life happens and things can always go wrong; however, these group of people was sincere to me and did all they could to make things up. read more

Worst service EVER. If you try to call and place a car side order they hang up on you, if you select the option to talk to a team member they let it ring forever and still hang up on you. The ONLY reason I gave them 1 star is bc I had to to write a review. I have spent a lot of money at this restaurant over the years since they opened, I will now be traveling out of my way to go anywhere but here. read more

Food is soso but Steve is great. Don't forget half off late night appetizers. Such a great deal

My mother and I went to Applebee's in Novi. I loved Applebee's as a restaurant but after this experience I am reluctant to return. Food took awhile but that was understandable. It took 10 minutes to get a drink refill and half an hour to get our check. We politely waved at the waiter for an additional 10 minute. When he finally saw us I politely asked if we could get our check and he said "eventually". When we had received our check it was not ours, it was the couple next to us. When he switched our bills 5 minutes later I put my card down quickly so he couldn't run away. He said loudly "you don't need to be rude". I sat there looking puzzled until he brought my receipt. When he did he yelled rudley and said "have a great day *with an eye roll*. I have never had an experience like this at Applebee's and I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I Went here a few days ago and the service was amazing! the wait time was great. cery clean and they are on top of their Sanitization! Can't wait to come here again! All the staff were very helpful and friendly!!! read more

I had an acquaintance in my IT program that worked in their kitchen. He told me a lot of their food is frozen and quickly reheated before serving. I can't personally confirm but I also have no reason to think he's a liar. That said, sometimes the family drags me down; it feels like dealing with Applebees is an inevitable outcome in life. Their service has gotten better over the years, as it was horrendous a decade ago but reasonable modern day. The apple crisp app is a highlight of the restaurant, although very unhealthy. Their chicken fingers aren't notable. Their pasta isn't worth your money. They had a green menu, something like under 500 calories, and the pasta dish, some kind of shrimp littered with nuts in this tangy sauce, was too difficult to stomach. I'd recommend not blowing a lot of money on their pricier steaks because again, I've heard (and what I've tasted coincides) that they're freezing this meat and quickly reheating it. I've had their cheaper, smaller cuts of steak and it was alright but with Outback right down the road, why settle for that? I've cooked steak from Costco and that steak turned out better than Applebee's. According to yelp, 2 stars is "Meh. I've experienced better." and that's my sentiment with Applebee's. They *are* consistent in their delivery as far as I can tell and there is an intrinsic value to that sentiment. But you can do better for your money, or so I'd argue. They have these desert cups that are delicious but incredibly small for the money you're dropping. Dairy Queen is maybe a 4 minute drive down Wixom, take the right on Poniac, it'll be right there. You'll get far more bang for your buck there. Applebee's offers this *very* family friendly atmosphere while Outback's atmosphere is more neutral. That's the main draw for Applebee's. My family is very religious and I think that's what draws them in time and time again. Their menu is large and they miss the mark on their meals as a result. It's not awful by and large but I have experienced better. Wixom has a lot to offer you. read more

This was the WORST experience I have ever had. I took my grandmother for her 80th birthday. The hostess was friendly and professional, she seated us promptly and told us about the specials and drinks going on. Our server was Brandon, he was the opposite. His knowledge about the menu was below sub-par. He was also very rude and seemed to care more about his appearance than our visit. I can not tell you how many times he fixed his tie in front of us. The food was brought out and was cold, upon telling him he said he would fix it right away however it took a long time, and he was unapologetic. In the mean time while waiting for our food to be recooked he didn't refill our drinks. We won't be returning again. read more

UPDATE 07/14/16: After leaving my review about the horrific experience I had at this location, the owner contacted me through Yelp & asked if I could give her my phone number to figure out what we could do to resolve my issue. She gave me a call a couple days later & told me to look out for a gift card in the mail. Here we are SIX months later & I haven't seen a thing. I wasn't going to bother about it but then I figured I should tell the community about how careless this manager is. Thanks for nothing. read more

One of the bartenders is kind of cool, but the employees need to watch what they say. When one of the waitresses puts in her own food order and complains that the cooks don't care about how they prepare the employees food, it makes you wonder how much they care about the customers food. read more

This Applebee's is one of the best in all of the flyover states. They serve great food, with great service, and most importantly a great atmosphere. Wixom native, and Detroit Catholic Central baseball legend, Nate Beck, is an amazing addition to the decor of the Applebee's. He brings a youthful innocence and at the same time, a veteran intensity to the atmosphere. I am writing this review to bring attention to Applebee's amazing decor decision, displaying a local legend who will be fondly remembered by fans all across the Oakland County, Nate Beck, is the perfect mix of forever remembered and never forgotten. read more
