My wife and I just got home from having lunch with our daughter and son-in-law. My wife and I had bbq brisket tacos. Sounds good but there was very-very little brisket, and the sauce made me gag it was so sweet. My daughter's order was wrong so they replaced it, and then tried to bill me for both of them. By far the worst lunch in years. They'll never see us again. I don't know how they keep their doors open. read more

Zero stars!! Not much good to say about this place. Found a hair in our food as soon as the waitress brought it out. They remade the food and it took quite a long time. Other people at the table were finished eating before it came. Then the fresh food was cold. The butter didn't even melt on the baked potato. They took 3 dollars off the bill. Ridiculous. The table was sticky and overall dirty. read more

This evening we ordered the 2\$20 which ended up to be over $30. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, my husband ordered the steak. My cheeseburger was RANCID. I called the restaurant and told the manager which was either Allie or Dawn and told her. She very rudely told me thatd was why she is very leary of to go orders and no one else has complained and was going to give me a credit to which I asked her name. When I asked for her name she put me on hold for 20 minutes (I hung up waiting so long) never said please hold of her name just put me in hold. If they are that leary of to go orders why advertise them so heavily? I would never advise anyone to go there ever. Good was terfible, management was rude and.accusatory and NOT worth the money!! read more

30 min to get our appetizer . Came out cold. Food was just ok. Terrible service .avoid this place if you don't want to wait forever. Bull shit read more

AWFUL SERVICE! Came off a road trip with the grandkids and we were all so hungry. Place WAS NOT busy but we NEVER GOT our food nor an apology for why we waited so long while everyone around us that came in after were getting their food before us. No explanation WHY. The kids were hungry and I asked why we were not getting our food. Like I said, NO EXPLANATION OR APOLOGY. THE WORST service I have ever encountered and what annoys me the most is my grandkids were hungry. I Will NEVER SET FOOT IN THIS RESTAURANT again. read more

Served a hamburger raw in the middle plus was on a kid size bun disgusting bad service yuck

10 open tables and we have to wait 15 to get seated. Really!! And I had my handicapped mother with me. And the menu has changed. More expensive and can't find anything I like to order. read more

Terrible service, waitress sacked. Order medium/well steak came out red inside and bled when cut into, that's not medium/well. Returned steak came back was not charcoal and like eating beef jerry. Get some people who know how to cook read more

Went in on a Saturday night about 15 min before they closed which I usually don't like doing but they were really friendly and courteous! Our server was really good and made us feel welcomed I wish I could remember her name but I forgot it but a overall real good experience! read more

Love the wings!!! I usually get the boneless classic wings and they are breaded and sauced to perfection.The service is great as well!! The best time to go is late evening as it's not overly crowded!! The prices are definitely reasonable! They usually always have 2 for $20 deals going on. read more

This place used to be great, now it has the odor of despair. Once a restaurant and bar, the bar has become the focus. We ate here recently and what a change - the waiter wasn't paying attention and perhaps couldn't read his own writing - of the 8 items we ordered, 3 were incorrect. My baked potato arrived loaded with sour cream - no thanks, the broccoli was half yellow, and my steak was, not sure how to best describe this...mushy. He didn't know how many ounces were in the various draft sizes of beer, only three silverware setups for four people - The dirty appetizer dishes were never removed after entrees were delivered. Throughout the meal we were serenaded with overly loud "music" ranging from head-banging crap to something with somewhat obscene lyrics. Not an overall pleasant experience. This might be what happens when the drunks at the bar control the jukebox. Even though we saw a manager on duty, he never stopped by to check our table. Darla, where are you when we need you?! Turn down the music, retrain certain wait personnel and check your steak quality control. The sign in the front window says Grill and Bar, but seems to becoming a bar with a grill. read more

Came in lunch break and server Sharon was accommodating. She noticed we were on lunch and got us in and out and on time for work. All got pick and pairs. I got pasta and salad. Was just enough food. Thumbs up I'll be back read more

Sadly in Portage, the land of chain eateries, Applebees ranks high amongst competition The food is bland, the bar is mediocre and the place is in need of a good deep cleaning but still clean enough that I don't get the heebie jeebies eating here. I don't go here unless I'm out with friends and they insist on going here because they all love Applebees (yuck) but I give it three stars because the staff is friendly and the manager is an amazing guy who really seems to love his job and enjoy trying to please his customers. He is also really great at trying to organize community projects that his store participates in. I worked a pancake breakfast that they recently did for the homeless shelter and he was so nice and even though he made nothing off of it he really pulled out all the stops making the breakfast the best he could. I have to say if all people did their jobs like this and did the best they could places would run so much better. As much as I dislike chains I'll rate applebees in portage higher based off his pleasantness alone, wish I could remember his name. read more

Yelp, please add an "0 star" review option. Worst Apple bees in the nation. Bad service, nasty management. Food taste like garbage. Close this location out. Just close it. read more

Ordered French onion soup and split a lunch. Upgraded to the French fries since nine bucks for a lunch isn't enough to include fries here. We were asked if we would like the soups before the lunch. We said yes. We got the soup and less than a minute later, our lunch arrived. Soup was warm, not hot. Tried a fry and they tasted like they were made the day before. We let the waiter know and he got us new hot fries. The wrap was also not very hot, but that could have been because it came out at the same time as the soup. One of the issues here is that each time we God something from the kitchen, a new person brought it out. Very disorganized. I used to like this Applebee's, but with so many new restaurants opening in Portage, I won't be back. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We sat in the bar area to watch the football games. The waitress was attentive and the manager even came to see how things were or if we needed anything. We got the 2 entrees and an appetizer for $20 which was a deal. We looked at their happy hour specials for weekdays and we may come back to take advantage of that. read more
