    Love these dishes

    We loved our dinner in Parsippany location our server was awesome too. Applebee's is always our happy place

    Fish & Chips
    Anton K.

    After a day of fishing for bluefish down the New Jersey shore, my buddy and I stopped into Applebee's. I rarely go to Applebee's but I do like their burgers and I wasn't in the mood to be cooking. Applebee's has an upbeat atmosphere, a nice bar area and beer selection. What I did not expect was the price hike. I had the Classic Burger (1120 Cal) priced at $14.39. It comes on a Brioche bun. Classic fries are included in the meal. The fries were crispy and hot, a real plus. Basically it has all the calories and twice the fat that you might want. Yeah, that flavor is what I'm talking about when I bite into this culinary bad boy. My fishing buddy had the hand battered crispy Fish & Chips (1470 Cal). The meal comes with coleslaw, tartar sauce and a lemon wedge and costs $20.39. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was pretty good but on the slow side. Refills on my drink came after we already finished our meals. For a thirsty guy that was not a good thing.

    Strawberry Coconut Margarita (~$7)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Strawberry Coconut Margarita (~$7): Teremana Blanco tequila, Malibu coconut, strawberry and lime Blue Aloha Margarita (~$7): Teremana Blanco tequila, blue caracao, pineapple juice, and lime The Classic Combo Appetizers (~$18): all the classic apps - Boneless Wings, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Chicken Quesadilla, and Mozzarella Sticks Aya's take: Great after work spot to just come and grab a drink and appetizers with some coworkers or friends. Applebee's almost always has cheap seasonal drinks which are worth trying like these margaritas using The Rock's tequila brand. And of course you can't go wrong with some appetizers and finger foods.

    Cherry coke, not in the soda. Honestly it was disappointing.
    Michele K.

    as a party of 11 we were disappointed with the overall service. had to wait nearly one hour to get my soda and the table as a whole to receive waters. the server was unsure of the drink orders and stood there smelling the drinks to determine which was which. to top it off then didn't know who ordered what. to keep the negative feedback going. the food took for ever to arrive. very disappointed by the service.

    Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp

    I've been to this location twice already, and each experience has been pleasant. This location is smaller than average so it gets pretty packed in there. The staff is friendly and attentive and management is visible and helpful. We ordered appetizers and main entrees and everything was served hot and came out in under 15 minutes. I would visit here again. *clean restaurant *friendly staff *plenty of parking

    This is the place to go if I have visitors coming and we were not sure about a place to go for dinner. They have a decent selection of food and they have a nice atmosphere with bars and TVs. I think we visit there at least every 3 months or so. Food and service have never been a letdown. I recommend at least trying this place once.

    Boneless Wings with buffalo sauce
    Ilana H.

    Great spot for large groups! Stopped by for some after work drinks and food with coworkers to celebrate a birthday. We were able to fit the 16 of us at two long adjacent tables. Considering how large our group was I was impressed with how attentive the service was- we always had drinks in hand and our food was brought out quickly and at the same time! We ordered some apps for the table included mozzarella sticks and boneless wings. The mozzarella sticks were just ok... and tasted like they had just been frozen and thrown in a fryer. Nothing special but if you are craving mozz stix they will hit the spot! As for the boneless wings, these are an app I would get again! The buffalo sauce that we got with them was a definite hit! We wanted to dip everything in that sauce... even the mozz sticks. For a main I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp which was really tasty! You are able to ask for a replacement side dish for the mashed potatoes that come with it and you can also pay an up charge to add on additional sides. For drinks, I tried the mango margarita and the 5$ shark bowl (which, lets be honest.... I really ordered for the gummy shark that comes floating in it) While the shark bowl was tasty and sweet (and makes for a good photo, it wasn't very strong. I found the margarita to be stronger and also had a really intense mango flavor. If you like mango than this is definitely the drink for you! Overall, the service was great for a large group and the food and drinks were tasty. I will be back!

    Taco Topped Queso and Chips
    Angelica J.

    I usually go to this place whenever I am craving a late night snack and want to hangout with my friends. I've been coming to this Applebee's for a long time since I live around this neighborhood. Maybe it's because I come late at night for the half off appetizers, but every time I come back, the food gets worse and worse. I ordered Sweet Asian Chile Boneless Wings and Taco Topped Queso and Chips. Some of the boneless wings hardly had any sauce on it. Only the top half of the wings would have sauce, but the other half would barely have any. The celery sticks I got were so tiny, some were probably the size of my fingers. The queso and chips tasted mediocre. I didn't like the ground beef on the queso; I didn't think it was a very good combination. From all my past experiences, the service here sucks. The waiters usually ignore you and it takes forever to get their attention. However, last night I thought the service was amazing. The waitress, I believe her name is Lily, did a wonderful job checking up on me and my boyfriend. She would always come by every 10-15 minutes to see if everything was okay. When we were not done eating yet, she would just tell us to take our time and not to worry. Even though I used to always come here for my late night snack with friends, after last night, I'm not sure if I want to come back anymore. From my experiences the service has always been poor (except for last night) and the food has been going downhill.

    Eating Good in the Neighborhood!! I'm a big fan of the Parsippany Applebee's! This is without a doubt one of the better Applebee's Grill & Bar in this area. Food is very good plus the bartenders & servers are always on point. The bathrooms are clean, and it's location cannot be beat as It's right on Route 46 Eastbound and Route 80 is a close easy on and off. Sometimes Family and Friends get to choose the restaurant and totally ignore the cool guy with the Yelp app.. . Whatever! Anyhow, you could definitely do worse than hanging out at this place. Come and Get your Munch on!!

    I'm from Boston came out to Jersey for my bday weekend w|my family& got a Telly down the street from there and the service was very fast and accommodating. My son very much enjoyed his meal. The food was great for just a quick good bite to eat. They also have this new drink "Draculas Juice" BOMB! Definitely would recommend this Applebee's and try to get Janelle as your waitress she was amazing !

    Sweet Asian Chile Boneless Wings
    Brian L.

    I think the rating of Applebee's in general depends on which time of the day you go there. To be completely honest, the food is not too great. However, it is a good place to go with you friends at night when they start their half-priced appetizers after 10PM. My friends and I go here all the time when we feel hungry at night and don't know where to go. I usually don't have any issues with their employees or anything, but if you are looking for a good dinner to eat I would say it is better to go somewhere else.

    Pork chop platter. $15.99 plus $1.99 for the sweet mashed potatoes.

    Unless you're a part of the barmaids clique you ll get service. Cold sterile service. That's all. Foods better than the service by far.

[Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!
