The food was great and the iPads were the best of all! And the restaurant is next to a hotel so you can walk a few minutes away from the hotel and get to the restaurant so that is all you need to do to get there. Definitely coming back! read more

You can't come to Applebee's expecting the best food you've ever had in your life. That being said, I think this location does a great job! We would frequently come in during the dollaritas promotion and enjoyed the food + service. We were quickly seated each time and our wait staff was pretty attentive to our needs. Let's start with my favorite thing at Applebee's: The mozzarella sticks! I LOVE mozzarella sticks and these are no exception. They are fried to perfection and served with warm marinara (I like to get a side of ranch for them). These are a great appetizer and if you go during happy hour you can get them at a reduced price! The crispy wonton chicken tacos are another great appetizer that my partner really enjoyed. The pretzels are too salty and the sauce isn't that great. Spinach artichoke dip is okay. We also tried the burgers. I got an impossible and my partner got a regular cheeseburger. Both were pretty good and served with crispy fries. The inside is clean and there is lots of seating. This is a great place to come to with a group or to watch a sports game as they have many TVs. Will be back! read more

Ordered a sirloin on door dash that was absolutely atrocious. Asked for medium rare and it arrived well done, cold, and bland. The green beans were flavorless and looked like they came straight from a can and microwaved. For $39.53 I expected something semi edible read more

Service was shit i always bring my family to dine here and today's experience was 0 if you can rate 0 i would of rate them-00 food was cold it took them 35 min for our food to be brought out to our table and when food arrive food was cold and Ribeye was order well done but it was like its was left to burn .. yes it was burnt steak and they had the audacity to tell me that it was busy and also stated that it was because our table was big party and (we had a total of 6 people) plus 2 kids but their order was placed right away in which the order came out right away ... when all surrounding tables had the same amount of people, or maybe one less in which there excuse was pathetic, you would be upset if if your table was ignored while everyone else get there food first.. when i question our server about our food she couldn't give me an answer.. take your business some where else cause they will have you waiting to take your order and be prepared to wait minimum 30+ min for your food .. plus you don't get what you expect in quality Take in consideration when you have a big party is a big issue cause time quality and consistency at the table and making sure every person has there food just the way they order it is part of the service and that is part of the servers job.. Servers expect great money in TIP's but shit service .. Ohh i forgot the Manager doesn't know how to run the business as he excuses there lack off effort to prepare all he can tell us " Sorry what can i do" when as a leader your who is responsibility, for the whole restaurant service and quality read more

Robin is an excellent server. We have had her for lunch a couple of times. Our favorite thing is the Bourbon Street Chicken and shrimp (me) and Bourbon Street Steak, comes with some good mashed potatoes and I ordered a side of broccoli for a complete meal. Very delicious and not bad on the calories! I'd say if you are careful with what you order, you can get great food at Applebee's! read more

Destin. E was amazing food was good and the service was amazing. He gave us refills. The food came out nice and hot and it was an overall great experience. The vibe was very nice and cool and it was a common environment and we would definitely come back. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - The Shirley Temple and a diet Pepsi - Sports Bars Near Me - Petaluma, California

While service was fine the food was not. I ordered a Sirloin Steak cooked medium. It was served well done to Hockey Puck status. They retired my plate and while this time it was cooked to ordef, it was very tough and grissly. Extremely poor quality and unedjble. I upgraded to broccoli. Huge mistake! It came barely covered in a cold Alfredo with tomatoes sauce and four shards of unmelted cheddar cheese. The broccoli was still cold in the center. This too was replaced, the broccoli was heated through but the same cold gross sauce and slivers of unmelted cheese were again on the broccoli. It was not pleasant at al!,and certainly not worth the upcharge. I wound up eating the lukewarm mashed potatoes. As I was still hungry, I went for the Blondie dessert. I used to go here just for that calorie bomb dessert, so I was thinking this would offer them some redemption. But nope,didn't happen. I don't know if corporate changed the composition presentation, or if this location doesn't properly train their kitchen staff. In any even, it no longer holds first place in my favorite desserts category,not even an honorable mention. Sad to say nothing about this experience would want me to return and spend my hard earned money on crappy food read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - CUERVO MARGARITA - Sports Bars Near Me - Petaluma, California

I had the Tex Mex shrimp bowl. It was horrible. Mostly rice, with corn and black bean. Found a couple pieces of wilted lettuce , and served with a few rubber shrimp. We had people from out of town, and they wanted to eat at it. Had not been to one in a decade, and thankfully I'll never have to eat in one again. I honestly don't even know how they are in business. read more

First of all, a very awesome experience, I would recommend ordering the Chicken Quesadilla Salad or The Whole Lotta Bacon Burger, it was the bomb! The service was absolutely amazing as well! And the place in general is cozy, and inviting with music and people. read more

It is what it is. I don't love intrusive tablets, but if an easy mediocre meal for full grown prices are for you, then c'est la vie! Not saying I won't go back, I do love the interesting cocktails they provide and they do have an extensive menu. Good for groups or happy hour. read more

Walked in, greeted 2 waiters and a waitress just standing at the door where the little podium is, they sat me right away which was nice, but then I sat there for 10 minutes (12 or 13 if you count the time before I even looked at my watch after sitting down) and not a single person came up to my table to ask me my drink, let alone my order. Jack in the box is right across the street, Id rather have fast food than no food at all. Thanks Applebee's! read more

If I ever go go to Applebee's and order a hamburger again, I'll make sure to take the burger apart to check out the lettuce. I brought half my burger home yesterday. It fell apart and as I was putting it back together I looked at the lettuce leaf. It was spotted brown and the edges were slimy. Terribly unappetizing Turned my stomach. I'm glad I started in on the appetizing looking half while I was in the restaurant. read more

I love Applebees. I don't care what all y'all say. I will admit the food does kept getting worse and worse over the years and that's sad, the bartenders are now so over worked I wouldn't even try to go there for a quick HH drink bc it will take a good HH to get help. lol! When you do get your drink it's pretty good and worth the price in my opinion. Overall I do really like Applebees. It makes me feel like Hole when I'm traveling bc you can almost always find on in the US. This Applebees has been my favorite for a king time I'm just sad about how it's been deteriorating lately. Hoping for the best though. read more

While I'm not a frequent diner, I was pleasantly surprised with the happy hour when I came during a warriors game. I thought it would be a little busier, but was seated right away. The staff was very friendly and came for our orders soon after we were seated. We just decided to order appetizers on the happy hour menu and got the mozzarella sticks, the wonton tacos, and the chips with a spinach artichoke dip. We paired it with a happy hour cocktail that was a little watered down, but met expectations. The spinach artichoke dip was great, but the chips are so thin and have zero salt. The appetizer would be much better with a quality chip as the vessel. I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the wonton tacos. It's a unique spin on tacos and tasted great. Don't get biased by the stereotypes of these chain restaurants: they're consistent and reasonably priced. read more

Stopped by for dinner. I didnt feel like anything heavy so I went with a salad. I was rather surprised with how good my salad was. I have eaten plenty of salads from Applebees and the Petaluma location is by far better than any other Applebees location I have eaten at. read more

Went in for late night snacks. It was pretty empty in there, but yet it still took us a few minutes to be sat. I understand that we were a party of 12. However, we didn't get a server for a while. It took us 30 minutes to get a drink order and then the food came and they questioned us ordering all you can eat And it came out cold. I understand it's late night, but that's why we were there and that's why you have it open for late night snacks. Then they didn't give us the happy hour price because we got sat at 8:30 but we didn't order till nine so we thought we get the 9 o'clock special but we did not. read more

Good food but a bunch of confusion on the carry out order that only had 3 items ‍ I still like it there

I enjoyed the bone in wings. Margaritas more sugar than alcohol but that seems typical for this area. Hamburgers are decent. read more

Friday evening sat at the bar, bartender was quick to greet and hustle up a drink and water. Ordered boneless wings. I should have stayed with something more routine. The deep fried hockey pucks caused the fork tangs to flex and fight to keep straight. Somewhat tasteless and I bet the heartburn will conclude my evening. Oh, the drink was good and I should have stopped there. Place was clean and clientele seemed to be enjoying themselves. read more

I Ordered for pick up via the Applebees App. Ordered a mushroom Swiss burger w/ a side house salad & appetizer of chicken nachos. The $13 Nachos were on the house via their App birthday gift. Burger was tasty, huge and full of mushrooms & grilled onions! Burger was cooked medium as ordered!! Side salad was a good size as it looked one the menu!! Nachos are sometimes iffy when ordered to go. This was filled to top in the to go container! Plenty of guacamole, chicken and chips! All 3 dishes were above my expectations!! Host was nice & friendly! She gave me my order promptly. I'll be back!! Sign up for the app!! I haven't been there in a long time but I'll be there more often now!! read more

Food was mid asf and beverages were sugary asf but to the waiter guy with a southern accent.... Heyyyyy!!!!

I've gone here around 3 times first time it was very good the food the service, second time as well very good but the third time the services was not okay at all she kept interrupting us while we order my boyfriend order a classic cheese burger with the meat cooked right and not medium rare and we told her that and when the food arrived his fries were really salty the burger had no cheese and the meat was medium rare, my food was very plain and no flavor whatsoever and than she brought a soda to us while we just wanted the check we were over the food. read more

Came in on a quiet lunchtime, and waited for service. Waitresses talked with other, but NO service! 10 minutes - Left wondering why anyone would not want to service. read more

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were a group of 11 we waited a little but they were able to fit us in. I got the strawberry margarita it was very good a little on the sweet side but I can taste the alcohol so they did good. We went in a bit late so we just got the sampler of appetizers they were good & didn't take to long to arrive despite having such a large group. read more

Husband & I were in the area and unsure of where to go for lunch. Applebees was in the distance so we decided to stop in. Our server Hunter was great from the moment we set down to the moment we left. We ordered the pretzel appetizer (which was great) and our drinks. Shortly after we ordered our meal. The food was all cooked properly and tasted great. Drinks were refilled without having to ask. Hunter even pointed out our ability to order our same items but save money by getting some pick 2 deal. Super helpful! We will be back the next time we are in Petaluma. Hoping Hunter will be our server again. read more

Everyone here was super friendly, unlike in the San Rafael location, where they act like you're a bother for attending their super special exclusive restaurant that doesn't have like, you know, 2000 other locations? But seriously, here at Applebee's in Petaluma we were sat right away, the host was welcoming, the server was friendly, and the food and drink showed up promptly. I read some of the other reviews on here about how long it took to get the food, and that definitely wasn't an issue for us. The food is, well, Applebee's... it's OK. It's not like "Wow 7 Stars OMG Delicious!" but it's consistently alright. Last night I had the four cheese Mac & cheese with chicken tenders. Always a good choice! Total was just under $22 including tip for my dinner and my friend's non-alcoholic beverage. I can't take any issue with that, so I'll be back if I need to find some dinner at a casual, reasonably priced place in Petaluma late at night. read more

Had a great time at Applebees. Rachel is best manager cute too. we got all you can eat deal $14.99.

Petaluma California Applebee's. This is the first restaurant where I didn't leave the staff a tip. From entering to exiting, I was nothing more than an inconvenient distraction to them. Saturday afternoon, August 2023, few customers and 2 wait staff. 1. I ordered coffee, "We have no cream". The waitress brought the coffee with no cream or sweetener anywhere to be found. 2. Did not refill our drinks or even offer. 3. She left the bill at the table and never came back to collect it. After 10 minutes I paid at the bar. 4. Other issues but who cares at this point. Avoid this place. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Applebees restaurants yesterday for dinner. I wanted to give Applebees one last chance. We had gone to the Applebees in Santa Rosa Ca afew times to only find the cups and silverware to be dirty. I asked the manager jokingly if the dish washer was broken. He took a few Ling seconds to answer yes, laughing it off. The food at that location was of poor quality. I decided maybe it was that location. Well, it wasn't just that location . The quality is just not it once was. It's not because of the pandemic. That's an excuse I hear alot about bad service or bad food. Prices are the same with good or bad service or product. The food was just as bad in the Petuluma Applebees. What was worse is that they added on charges for using that electric game thing on the table. We didn't use it. When I inquireed about the charge we were told by not only the waittress ,but the manager that "they normally catch that." What !! Also the happy hour menu prices were not what the cardboard advertisement on the table said they were. PLEASE CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE YOU PAY. We won't be going back to any Applebee's ever again. read more

The food was buss as always. I wish I got our servers name, she was so sweet and gentle. She worked Friday night has glasses and has long hair worn in a claw clip. The vibe was nice I don't understand why this place doesn't get busier. SPEND YOUR MONEY AT APPLEBEES!! read more

This place has gone way downhill over the last couple years I hadn't been there and I definitely haven't missed much. My drink tasted like a cheap premade one instead of a good drink made by a bartender and my food tasted low quality as well. You can tell they are skimping on portions while still charging a lot for their food. Also the service was slow as well. Won't be going back and it was very cold inside the restaurant too, so bring a jacket. read more

***Catalytic Convertor left from parking lot. Parking lot known for catalytic convertor theft!!!*** Applebee's staff was very attentive, and accomodating. We were there for about 2 hours and parked in in the main pairking lot. There are signs up saying they have cameras in the parking lot but those signs were not a deterant. We will find out if we can actually get footage tomorrow. When we asked people who worked there, they were very nice and told us they said that this parking lot is notorious catalytic convertor thefts. Patrons beware! It takes 5 min to remove a catalytic convertor. I would have chosen a different Applebee's if Ihad known. read more

Ordered catering for a work meeting. Excellent service from start to finish. Food was hot and ready on time. Staff were great to work with.

My wife and I came in here to pickup lunch on a Thursday afternoon. I called in two lunch combos and was advised that it will be 15 min. We got there a few minutes early. The host was friendly. She opened the door and greeted us. We waited another 3-5minutes and our order was ready. As for the food, we ordered the lunch combo. Price varies depending on which item you choose but they're about $8-9. I had the Clubhouse Grille Sandwich and Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders for $7.99. These are only half portions but it is filling. Overall, we thought it was a good price. It's our first time here. As long as service is great and food good, we will come back. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised. We got boneless wings and they were delicious. Not greasy at all. Then my husband got a half-rack of ribs and I got chicken Alfredo penne. The food was prepared really well. My penne was cooked perfectly. The last time we ate here it wasn't very good.... I am happy we gave them a second chance. Yum! read more

We were a group of 8 on a wee bit of a time schedule. We were seated snuggly in a booth, but it was very comfortable. Brandon was our Server and he did amazing job. I split the Chinese chicken salad. It was so good! I had the choice of grilled chicken or breaded and couldn't resist I got the breaded chicken. Oh and I almost forgot. It was happy hour and I tried the margarita On the rocks with salt. It was sweet and delicious. And I also ordered the steak quesadillas from the happy hour menu. Also so good! The men in the group ordered off the healthy menu and they were a little disappointed they would've liked more, But hello that's what helps make the Healthy menu healthy portion size! Overall it was a positive experience all around the table. And I'm pleased as punch to say I can't wait to go back! read more
