I had invited 7 friends for a routine get together! We had Brian as our server! Every resteraunt needs a great waiter/bartender like him! He is truly the best! Very attentive, friendly, kind. I give him a 15 out of 10! Over the top waiter... read more

I came here Monday with my mom and grandma. They have a deal where a burger and fries is $10.49 for lunch and you also get 6 free boneless wings when you spend $10. However, it is only one per check on the free wings. The burger was huge and it was cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of fries and the bbq boneless wings were very good. My mom and grandma both enjoyed the fiesta lime chicken lunch special. They also had garlic Parmesan wings. The service was a little slow, but they were very busy because it was Veterans Day. The manager was very friendly. read more

Just sat at the bar for 15 minutes, yes I checked. I was not even greeted. Two servers went behind bar to get drinks Tables about half full, guess short staffed. read more

I really enjoyed my Impossible Cheeseburger but the green beans were just blah. Always liked Applebee's for the good menu variety and atmosphere. The service was just ok on our visit. I will go back mostly because there is always something for everyone in our family of picky eaters. read more

Sarah is the BEST bartender/ mixologist, server I have ever had the privilege of meeting! High commodity employee!! Big high 5 to this lady! read more

Server was nice but inattentive. Food took almost an hour to arrive and was cold. One in our party ordered grilled chicken and said it tasted like soap. Overall not a good experience. read more

Social distancing is required. The restaurant is clean, employees are nice, and we sat down quickly. I went to the gym across the street, so my husband and I decided to eat dinner here. I wanted salmon, so I had double broccoli, grilled salmon, and strawberry lemonade. My husband ordered wings and pretzels. He always order that, since he love Applebee's wings and pretzels. Brian H was our waiter, and he was super attentive, and friendly. He took our orders and checked on us periodically. :-) The food was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back if we're in the area. read more

The service is horrid, took us over an HOUR to receive our food. Some of our food was COLD. The lights were dimmed. Fries were fire.

Great food, everybody working here is so kind!! We love the BBQ wings and the colored lights.

Went tonight after not going for awhile and oh boy did they raise their prices!!! Needless to say we will not go back unless they are running a good special. read more

I like this Applebee's. The food is always decent. I got the new grilled onion and mushroom burger with 5 wings for a dollar. The wings were dry. The service was fine except for the food came out before we even got our drinks (alcohol). I always like the atmosphere, but I usually go for lunch, so it pretty quiet and laid back. read more

Good food at reasonable prices, open late and really good service, Brian the bartender is exceptional.

They could improve on the food. It was salty and not cooked. The service was terrible. Staff were walking around acting like they didn't know how to do their job. Maybe they need a refreshment course on what their responsibilities are. read more

It's better than that POS Thyme Craft Kitchen. The duck there was so fuckin shitty it tasted like my co worker rubbed his balls on it.

Don't know how the food would have been we didn't stick around to wait any longer for it. We waited over 30 minutes for a side order of broccoli and side order mashed potatoes and chicken tenders. We ordered things that would be quick because we already ordered for my 2 year old that was rambunctious. When we asked for the check the manager came to the table and told us it would be another ten minutes to make it. Top of that the waiter couldn't remember the lemons she mentioned she forgot once already. read more

Best waitress ever these wings are awsome I love the food I can eat this everyday they are so kind

I had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager at Applebee's tonight. Gregory Shelton goes the extra mile for his customers and his restaurant. You will find him delivering you your food to your table if necessary. A good manager is a manager that will do the same tasks he asks his employees to do. Gregory Shelton is exactly that. Bravo! VERY PROFESSIONAL, WITH RESOLVE!! GO NAVY read more

Ordered a cheeseburger to go. Once back at hotel, I found the burger barely edible. Not sure if burnt or caked on grease, but it was CRUNCHY. Somebody thought this was OK to serve....Baffling and disgusting. Hope I don't get sick. read more

The food is always great and the drinks and drink specials are always done well. The workers are always moving and asking for refills and getting your food out quickly. For being a chain restaurant they definitely are on top of things in Peru read more

went to dinner with family we had two separate checks at table I pai my check with cash she ask did I want change told her 3 times yes.when mya brought the other persons check but never returned with my change. then went to other side of restaurant and never returned. most of the food was good and service was ok. very disappointing read more

Good service. Steak was cooked and prepared good. As well as green beans and baked potato. Fresh and hot. Environment of restaurant was comfortable. Very clean. Greeted and seated by a friendly person. Lorenzo was a great server, he made sure everything was good! read more

Called the Peru IL store at 9:48pm to place an order was told the restaurant closed at 10 and they couldn't place the order! Asked to speak to a manager and was hung up on at that time! I'm pretty sure if I walked in I would of been denied service also. If your not actually opened until 10pm then why would you say that. Let people know you actually close at 9:30 then! read more

Supports local music with good food. I've had issues with food in the past but they corrected it and went above and beyond every time.

Busy as hell here on a Sat night...clearly indicicative of the lack of dining options in the area. Kudos for the fellow managing the que....he said a 15 minute wait ant it was nine minutes exactly. Now for the main event... I expected a higher quality beef in a ten dollar hamburger, and fresher, plentiful toppings. I have had better beef st a Wendy's. As the photo indicates, the bun was burned around the edges and I had to tear off the burned parts to eat it. The middle of the bun was sopping with butter or more likely, veggie oil. I had a bit of iceberg, three discs of pickle, a thin, sorry pale slice of tomato and two..count em....two rings of onion...not two slices...not even one slice...two hard exterior rings of a single onion slice. I got cole slaw instead of fries, but had some of my grand daughter's fries and they were under cooked. My spouse added a sleaser salad and it was very good with high quality, crisp romaine and fresh shaved parm; it was best in show, but I wish it had a boiled egg and some tomato. In fairness it was supposed to come with rye croutons, but she is on the crazy atkins die-et. The chicken strips were real chicken tenders, but not fresh, but frozen. My wife had steak with shrimp parm and she said it was cooked perfectly. I was so upset with my ten dollar burger that I didnt even try her steak. Should have just stayed home clearly this is good for the area....but then again it is the middle if the midwest where you just cannot get good fresh beef and it is sooooo expensive! Yeah You wont catch me here again. read more

Had an Asian chicken salad. Bread stick was stale, chicken was at least day old! Disappointing to say the least!

Just an average place in all aspects. Ordered a loaded baked potato and Got about a teaspoon of cheese. I joked the kitchen must've ran out of cheese. Later the manager came by and asked how it was and I said did you run out of cheese in the kitchen and she confirmed they were low. She apologized but didn't do anything to fix it and still charge us for a full loaded baked potato. Sort of the same story with bacon on the baked potato. read more

My family and I were eating at Applebee's in Peru, Il and our waitors pack of cigarettes fell onto the table. My kids all looked at me and asked what they were and I had to painfully explain what they were... read more

Altho seems negatives abound... my family & myself alone have frequented Applebee's often for years.. IF STEAK isn't cooked right, immediately remedied.. admittedly have had few bouts ofperson's meal missing being brought out, usually my son's from out of state, but remedied in several ways... Greg & Brian have always gone out of their way to make our visit good & complete. My people come from all over to eat with me there. We ALL enjoy the food & will go there each & every time. Anthony has been our favorite waiter! And for the record , the prices ARE reasonable.. ALSO. only have eaten at few other places over time here & in Ottawa & in burbs but sure could have had complaints on both service & food! read more

Love the staff here. Polite, friendly and helpful. We have had most of the food on the menu and enjoyed it.

I ate at your Peru, Il resturant on 10-06-12, Your greeter was efficient, I ordered the riblet with red potato as a side dish, The food was medium warm. This is my favorite dish. Waitress needs instructions on how to serve people with an rib order.. Had to ask for water two times, butter two times, and for addditional napkins. She never brought wipe towelletes for my messy hands, Additionally, she did not return to my table very much to check on my needs. ps--your floors were dirty with food on it Gladys Boyer read more

Won't be back, shouldn't have to wait more then 20 mins for service. Had at least 4 waitresses and a manager walk by us and no one stopped to ask if we had drinks or have been helped. Mind you they were NOT BUSY!! Very disappointing read more

IF your order comes out right it'll probably still be cold. I'm not kidding. The amount of times I've sent my order back because it was wrong or cold is ridiculous. They always have an excuse and it's usually that they're training a new chef. COME ON! Own it, fix it, cut the BS, and train the kitchen staff properly! read more

If I could give negative stars on this place... Ordered appetizers, French onion soup and steak nachos. "Do you want pico and jalapeño on that"? Yes. Comes to the table 10 minutes before the soup, with neither on them. The waitress says " I'll bring your soup but I'm waiting for a clean spoon for it" Are you kidding me?! Invest in a few soup spoons Applebee's!! Needless to say, the soup arrived with my entree, still no spoon to eat it. The rest of the meal was so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh. All we could keep repeating through the whole experience is "are you kidding me?!" Unbelievable. Get it together Applebee's!! Not rocket science!! read more

We walked in and the manager was up front and was very snoty to begin with. Sat down for over 10 minutes before a waitress even came to get a drink order. I had ordered one of the "three course meals" which includes an appetizer and a salad. My wife ordered an appetizer, four kids all ordered from the kids menu. After over an hour, never receiving any drink refills on drinks, which for my wife and I would have been water, the table behind us recieved their appetizers after only having been seated for 15 minutes, while we still sat with just our empty cups. As we walked out after never getting food, a waitress we passed on the way out told us "have a good night". We ended up just going to Arby's at almost 9pm! At least there we got hot food in under 10 minutes, and a refill on our drinks. read more

haven't eaten in applebees in years so decided to go to this one since I was in the area. I was disappointed in my mojito that I ordered cuz it wasn't sweet at all & just tasted like sprite. my food was pretty good though - alfredo type chicken. service was good even though they were busy so I appreciate that. read more

Dinner at Applebee's was special tonight because it was with my youngest daughter "just because. " Applebee's is one of her favorite places. I was very pleased with the service by Lainey... she was very pleasant and accommodating. The other staff and managers seemed engaged as well. The food was their typical good quality with good flavor and presentation. The shooter desserts were better and larger than I was expecting. We purchased raffle tickets to benefit a local girl through make a wish foundation, which is a nice gesture for a local business to be part of. They also had local high school team memorabilia--nice to see as well. read more

We ate at Applebee's last evening. It was like all Applebee's. Good food, good service, good price - Applebee's!!

had the three-course meal today. The food was phenomenal but not sure why it took so long everybody's food was taking a long time today. We spent over $50 tonight and had a very good meal just not sure why the service took so long in the food took so long to come out. The manager did come out and speak to us but we never complained. But a lot around us did... read more
