Absolutely disgusting, do not go here. Bad service, the burger was extremely dry and tasteless. My father didn't even eat his. If you want good food, go to the many other restaurants around this Applebees read more

This place is real comfy. I come here to eat or drink or do whatever on a Friday or Saturday night. They fill my spirits and my tummy read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Portage, Michigan

See all

I would stay away tonight, the A/C is down! The employees are in unbelievably good spirits; however, I haven't talked to anyone from the kitchen I would estimate that it is close to 90° inside. I guess it's in the shade. The only reason we stayed is that my mom wanted their Oriental Chicken salad and we were getting the order to go. OSHA should be notified! read more

Compared to other Applebee's we have been to, this one is pretty good. We have always had nice service and good food. Love their happy hour 1/2 off specials for quick food while out shopping in the area. They have been doing 1$ drink specials monthly as well. For a chain restaurant, it is a good deal for a family dinner. read more

Great place to have a drink and catch up with friends!! Wait staff is awesome and food is delicious.

If I could put zero stars, I would. Had astonishing service at this applebees tonight. Waitress Patricia B insulted my friend while looking at her ID to confirm drinking age, saying "Wow, you've gained weight," before proceeding to let our food sit in the kitchen so long that mine was soiled, and the dishes of my friends were completely incorrect. The manager comped our meal, but I wish she would have assured me that this server would be terminated. When the manager inquired why she would even say something like that, the woman responded, "She just looked so different from her license photo..." Sadly, while we were waiting for our correct order to arrive, we witnessed this same waitress practically yelling at the couple in the booth behind us when they expressed concern about their bill. How much more does it take before the woman is terminated? Overall, very dissatisfied. read more

The food was cold, the alcohol drinks didn't even taste like what they were supposed to be. Our server didn't do well! We won't be back!!

Great food good food great staff reasonable prices the ri. Tips are the best and my family loves it

My husband, sister & I brought my father here this evening for dinner on what might have been a very sad occasion. Our server, Rose, went above & beyond to take care of us. I couldn't have been more grateful for her kindness. Kudos and huge thanks to Applebee's & to the big-hearted, kind server, sweet Rose. read more

Food was good. Salmon was very good. Lemon chicken was good but a bit over cooked. Steak was OK. Silverware and plates were dirty...multiple sets. Very concerning. Service was good. Price was reasonable. read more

The food was terrible everything was burnt I am really dissatisfied i wasted all my time waiting on my meal just to receive burnt small chicken Quesadilla....the server bought all our food out one by one so my hubby got his first and he said his burger was really dry, then the bought my daughter food out which was burnt, then I got my food.. my daughter birthday was that day we were just going out to celebrate as you can see the server gave her melted ice cream...terrible just terrible!!!! when did they start doing that...my boneless chicken was really dry you can see the base of the chicken everything was just all wrong if the cook was having a bad day he should've been there js read more

Unfortunately because you guys partner with grubhub my food was over an hour late. And they did not text me or call me to let me know my food was here. So it sat outside my door getting cold. I will not be ordering delivery from you guys again as long as you are partners with them. read more

The classic chicken parmigiana was cold and the noodles tasted like cardboard and the bread stick tasted like mold the strawberry lemonade on the other hand was great read more

Lunch menu is good and decently priced. Some good selections to mix and match. Even ordering off the normal menu the food has come up in a quick and timely manner. I had come once previously a week prior and multiple staff members have greeted me friendly and remembered my previous visits. The Tvs available are good to have a nice casual dining experience on lunch while watching a sports event either on replay or live. read more

Just had a wonderful experience with our waitress Kristina. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and cheer made it a visit we will not soon forget. The food and drinks were delicious, and came out in a very timely fashion. I enjoyed the $25 for 2 deal, great for a little date night. Don't forget to tip your servers ;) read more

I will say, the appetizers are delish. And the food comes pretty fast. Meaning we got our appetizers and then maybe 7 minutes after we get our food. One thing i do wanna say though. Some of their dishes are not the best. I personally get the Bourbon Street Chicken And Shrimp. And it it really good! Their strawberry lemonade is good too! read more

Good place to go with the family but it's the typical average restaurant food. Everything is decent if you want to stop somewhere and sit down to eat while doing your running around. read more

My husband I have frequented Applebees for years but its been awhile so stopped today for a light meal. Our waitress was friendly at first however did not have a good understanding of the menu. I wanted to know how many tacos that was being served her answer was " I want too say 3 maybe 4" I asked her to go check and she did. There are 3. Then my husband asked for the crispy onions to be on the side. When his food arrived there were no onions at all ! She said the cook didn't understand . So we asked that she get some. She brought back pico! We asked about the onions and she never brought them. Then I received s chicken quesadilla . No salsa , no sour cream. I asked , she brought them. I asked if she was new since she seemed clueless about many things I asked she said no! I suggested she learn her menu and listen to what the customer is asking for. She barely returned after that. There was no manager in site and the whole place just seemed to go downhill ! Tables not bussed, servers hanging around. Won't be back. Pricey beer which I am sure that is where they make their money. read more

I went to Applebee's Grill+Bar for the all you can eat wings, riblets , shrimp deal and expected it to be pretty good considering the food I've had there before was good. It took 30minutes for me to even get a drink then took 50 minutes for the first course of food, I ordered immediately after and waited for an hour and ten minutes before the waitress came out and told us she thought we already got our food then 20 minutes later we finally got it. After that I ordered one more round of wings immediately and it was cold when coming out and tasted hross read more

Poor Applebee's, getting such a bad rap. Let me preface this quick review by saying I've been to an Applebee's in 3 different states and probably 12-15 different locations. I used to go to one in GR about 3 times a week since it was close to my work and they gave us a punch card for freebies. Anyhoot. I really didn't see too many issues here. Everything we asked for was given to us with a smile, even though our 18 month old was on the brink of destroying the place. The food was decent, I had the french dip sliders, wife had the tomato soup, kid had the mac and cheese, and we all shared the spinach dip. I really thought it was a solid 3 star performance. read more

Stopped in for lunch around 12:30. Restaurant was moderately busy. I was seated right away, waitress took my drink order and delivered it immediately. She took my order, checked in on me several times, food was prompt and cooked as ordered. Overall pleasant experience. read more

I came in at 11:30pm, I know it was late, but I never expected to be treated like someone who came in 2 min. Till close and asked for the world. This place does not care about the customer. I could over hear the staff talking negatively about other customers. They only care about getting out on time. And the food sucks, it tastes like it was microwaved. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday, it was really busy and that surprised me. We were seated quickly though and our server Allison was very quick and friendly. Generally I don't even remember the servers name, but she was really good considering how packed her section was. I used a Yelp check in offer for free onion rings, I've used these check in offers quite a bit and usually they bring a manager over to check on it, but this time after one quick glance we were all set. Food came quick and was great. read more

We had lunch yesterday about 1:30 yesterday and my sister dropped her wallet. We had only left maybe 15 minutes later and she discovered she didn't have her wallet. When she called the waiter said he couldn't look as other patrons had already sat down. Really? I'm certain they wouldn't have minded. She asked to speak to the manager who was equally as rude. We will not be back. read more

How are you gonna be closed for "maintenance" on a Friday night in the early hours. No service.

Love the food here, my fav are the boneless bbq wings. This applebee's service is really good, a lot of young people work here w/ lots of energy, but the last couple times I went there the booths have been left with left over food on it and the tables were sticky with messy floors too....other than that the food is really good read more

The service my sisters and I received was good. The only complaint is have is with the menu. It seems like it's gotten a lot smaller than it use to be. I would love to see some more options added back on. With as small as the menu is now, I'm not site I'll return, at least not for some time. read more

Placed a curbside pick up order. Got home and didn't get what we thought we ordered . The picture of the entree we wanted wasn't what the meal was. The chicken and shrimp dish only had 2 shrimp. Not worth the $15 for the meal. read more

Not only did it take 15 minutes to be seen for my pick up order but another 25 on top of getting my cold food - should've expected it from the last time I had to send my steak back twice.. also no bacon on my 4 cheese Mac n cheese ?? Applebee's is just a bit overrated read more

Had a long wait.... and the dinner was basically cold when we got it. Had to send back the fries. Not sure what the deal was. It was not busy and we didn't order anything special. Bad experience. read more

The 5-star rating is with regard to my overall time there, and reflective of the service. I think people know what kind of food Applebees has and that rating the food is not of too much use here. I follow a strict vegetarian ("vegan") diet, and I came here today after church on Easter. My family (non-vegans) really wanted to go to Applebees. The waiter was nice, friendly, talkative, had a good sense of timing with regard to checking in on us, and overall good-natured. What is more, is that the moment I mentioned I needed advice on if I could construct a vegan item or if there were any options, he responded professionally and willing to help. He retrieved his manager, and she was lovely. Super nice, and understanding, even made a friendly note about how if I modify some entree they would compensate with extra veggies and make sure it "tastes real good." I had mentioned I would be willing to do vegetarian if I had to, but she did not use that as an easy way out, which was very welcomed to see her trying to help me not have to break my diet choices. I asked if any soups would work, and immediately she knew they had a chicken stock base [all of them], I appreciated it. In the end, I ordered the Grilled Jalapeño-Lime Shrimp without the shrimp (i.e. flavored grilled veggies + white rice), and it was totally fine for a lunch item. The veggies were fresh, crisp, and prepared with enough care, and the subtle flavors were refreshing. Nice portion size too. On our way out, someone was holding the door open for us (this is common practice at Applebees I think), but rather than another employee it was actually the manager again. She asked me how everything was, and I told her it was great and that I really appreciated her help. I did. People like to joke or complain about Applebees, but let me say that being someone who follows a diet like mine -- I am used to people not really caring too much about trying to help me figure things out. I have not been treated as well as I was at this Applebees very often at other establishments. Thanks guys, it was memorably positive. This Applebees is a nice one. read more

Good service, Good food, Big Tv's, great environment. They had good waiters and it felt like more than a chain restaurant. It was a lot better then the last Applebee's I went to. Definitely coming here again. read more

Great service by server Courtney and great meals. Busy Friday night but our orders arrived quickly with no issues. Courtney checked on us often and our drinks were never empty. Love my neighborhood Applebee's! read more

Beware of the new tablets. They're extremely sleazy and unethical. I was unknowingly charged $1.99 because I tapped on one of the "games". That's literally all I did. At no point was I asked if I would like purchase any games or prompted that I would be charged by simply tapping on one of them. I was never asked by the app if I would like to "unlock" the games. This is an extremely unethical and underhanded way of charging customers. On top of it all, the food was extremely overpriced and underwhelming. I hope they enjoy their $1.99 because I'm never going back to this restaurant again. read more

The service me,, my husband and his mom and dad had got was excellent. Aaron was our waiter and none of Us had to ask for refills he was on top of everything. read more

First of all, the waiter was basically nice. I feel kind of bad treating him poorly since the food sucked so bad. My girlfriend was correct that he did not make it so I made an effort to be nicer. The ONLY reason I would go to Applebees is because we had some gift cards to use up. I already knew what to expect from prior experiences. We got the trio of apps and a quesadilla burger. The apps of queso, dyno shrimp and wonton tacos: queso, meh; shrimp, where's the sauce?; tacos - not too bad. The burger was disgusting though. Again, what did I expect. The highlight was the beer and that they even left me a bit ticked since there was about 2 inches of no beer from the top. read more

Waited for 20 minutes and no one came to serve us we left without service would not recommend this Applebee's.

We visited yesterday and had a party of 10 for lunch and all decided to try their new pick 2 all you can each lunch special...We had seconds and some had thirds so we tried almost every dish...Each and every dish was cooked perfect and tasted marvelous...Our waitress never made one mistake and was super prompt and changed things for some picky eaters....The manager stopped by the table twice to just check on us...Great customer service... And best of all they have brought back the small dessert called the Brownie Bite ( cost is a whole dollar) that is just the right size and tastes yummy!!! We dine out every week and will certainly be returning there real soon!!! read more

Service was great, atmosphere was pleasant, drinks and appetizers all good. That 'steak' however was NOT steak, it was some weird spongy meat product molded into the shape of a steak- seriously i could see the seams on the damn thing. I am not at all a snob about where I eat, and I'm not trying to pretend to be some elitist food critic but honestly I cant believe they serve that to people and no one else has taken notice of their weird reconstituted meat 'steak product'. Ive head microwave salisbury steaks that were better than that 'sirloin' they served us. Not cool applebee's. Not cool.. read more
