It's one of my favorite spots, always busy, clean, and comfortable. Some servers are nice and patient, but some are not patient and mean. Overall, it's good, I'll be back. read more

Have had the pleasure of being seated and served, including drinks, by Lena Wilkinson. She is always cheerful and happy to make our experience a great one. We always look forward to seeing her there. read more

Always good food, even with the problems of the pandemic. Telephone servers are courteous and helpful, which I do so appreciate, since ordering by phone is not my favorite thing to do. Curbside pickup is ready and waiting; food neatly & nicely packaged. Healthcare is strictly observed. Would recommend for any occasion l. Nice job, Applebee's in Roseville! read more

Yeah yeah I should have known better, it's Applebee's. I normally would not have even wasted my time, and still feel salty over the firing of the waitress a few weeks ago for calling out the bad patron... I digress, my friends wouldn't budge on their want to go here, so I met up with them after work for a drink. Upon walking in I was greeted by the host who was genuinely nice, and directed me to the bathroom as well as their table. When I actually sat down at the table is when I realized just how bad the service was going to be. There were only a few people seated in our section which was split between two waitresses, and there was an assistant manager that was helping run food as well. It took the waitress over 10 minutes to get me the ordered cocktail (a tall Vodka Tonic), and she didn't bring me a water. We ordered a few apps, I got a salad, and our other friend got some chicken fingers. I also asked for a water again, which was not delivered. The food was very subpar. The salad was the best thing on the table. The artichoke dip looked slimy, and had almost no flavor, and the pretzels with beer cheese was nearly inedible. The pretzels were just fine in the mustard dip, but the cheese was lumpy, goopy, and filmy. They obviously didn't microwave it long enough as it took about four minutes for it to congeal to the point of nasty on the table. In the meantime, we had ordered more drinks that again took FOREVER to get to the table. The beer had to be ordered through the assistant manager as our server took a 20 minutes leave of absence from the floor without even checking in with us. The soda's again took almost ten minutes. I would not normally comment on the speed of service, but it really was terrible. After another half hour wait the chicken suddenly appeared on the table, and being as I was not the person who ate it, I can't comment on how it was. But the ordered sauces never arrived either. The entire experience here was awful, and my friends and I all agree, we will not be back. Slow service is one thing, but the uncaring attitude of the server, and the lackluster food really made this our last trip to Applebees. read more

I went here for a lunch business meeting recently, and it was everything that I expected from Applebee's. I sat down with my companion waiting for the rest of our group to arrive, and was greeted like Peter from Office Space. "Could I get you a perfect Margarita, a bud light lime, or a Sangria shake?" I was so surprised as she belted this off coming from behind me that I almost jumped. I looked at my watch... 11:30... and I thought, well, its 5 o'clock somewhere, but that certainly is a long ways from here. There were a couple of old bitties drinking cocktails a few rows down, and a group of what appeared to be WWII vets downing yellow foamy domestics, so maybe this is the place the old folks home residents come to get schlitzed. At any rate, I wasn't ready for any sort of adult beverage at 11:30 on a monday morning, especially for a business meeting. I ordered the fiesta lime chicken, which I think was $12 or $14. It was the most appealing thing I could find on the menu. It came out, and was basically a regular chicken breast with some fiesta seasonings and a squeeze of lime on top of the tortillas strips used as decoration, with some dry rice (still with the form from the container it sat in presumably overnight) and beans. The rice was red, like they added paprika but nothing else. The chicken was fine, but certainly something I could whip up myself in my kitchen in 5 min for about $2.50. Overall, lunch was fine. I ate my chicken, and the tortilla strip confetti, rice with 90* corners, and packaged pico stayed with the plate only to be thrown away. I would recommend that the cooks try to make food that is appealing, not just to fill up the plate, but I know that they just don't care and that Applebee's is going to continue to make dishes that can all use the same basic ingredients. read more

I must update my review because of what happened the other night. We have been noticing a decline in service in the past few weeks but this was comical. We were seated....We were seated.........We waited and waited and waited. After about ten minutes, for a joke, I set the timer on my phone and told everyone, when this timer goes off, if we have not at least been acknowledged, we are leaving. Three different servers went past us several times but nothing.... Timer goes off, we get up to leave...The hostess, the same one that had seated us, says to us...."Have a nice night!" We all laugh on the way to the car. So sad because this was my favorite Applebees....:( read more

Chain food. Inconsistent service. Music's way too loud. I've also often found bones in my chicken here. At least the service is friendly and appetizers are half-price after 9pm. read more

I've been to this location probably 10 times (I live close). It's always clean, and the servers are always friendly. I tend to sit at the bar, but tables are equally nice. I frequent the sangrias, which at this location tend to have less flavor than the location in Minneapolis by the U of M. Best app hands down is the spinach and artichoke dip, always fresh and hot with giant chunks of artichokes. Helpful hints: their French onion soup is phenomenal, and good if you don't want too much food. Finally: ask for a basket of fries and ask them to put cheese on top, they will always do it and you will be served a basket of fries with melty cheesy glory (usually cheddar). MOST IMPORTANT: Order a piña colada, blended. It isn't on the menu but it's amazing, they come in the extra large size and they shove tons of pineapple and cherries on that baby. Guaranteed to delight. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Did I mention they do mojitos? - American Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

See all

Please note: I am rating this Applebee's mostly in comparison to other Applebee's rather than all other food establishments. The food is above average as far as American chain restaurants go. The atmosphere is pretty much what you'd expect from a place like this (a la Chili's, TGI Friday's, etc). So, nothing spectacular, but they have great happy hour specials starting at 9pm daily. If you're up late and hungry, I recommend visiting your nearest Applebees and commence stuffing your face with half-priced apps and cheap bear. This particular location tends to be a little more chill, and the servers seem to be pretty attentive--even when they're busy. We live closer to 3 other Applebees, but we often choose the Roseville location because there isn't the rowdy crowd or the problem finding parking (like the UofM east bank). Whoever runs this location seems to enjoy keeping things fun...A couple months ago, we stopped by while they were hosting a "Full Moon Party" in the bar area. When we walked in, we thought maybe there was some sort of private event going on in the bar until the hostess asked us if we would like to join the party or be seated outside of it. They had completely blacked out the walls dividing the bar from the rest of the restaurant and then lit it with blacklights and decorated it with glow-in-the-dark stars and bottles of alcohol that lit up the bar to offer a cool ambiance. I must say, it was really simple, but kinda cool. I told a friend about it, and we're going back tomorrow night for a late night double date because they're hosting another one. I've frequented the Roseville Applebee's for years, and I don't think I can remember having any complaints. It's a great place for gathering with friends and eating some reasonably-priced food. They don't have the greatest list of beers, but they seem to have something to satisfy everyone. For lunch/dinner I recommend the Chicken Fajita Rollup, Orange Chicken Bowl, or Riblets Basket. For apps after 9pm, I recommend the Chicken Quesadilla, Boneless Buffalo Wings or a simple basket of fries. They have some other tasty looking items on the menu, but I seem to be stuck in a rut and order off my short list every time. Oh, and if you have room for dessert, or just feel like stoppin by to share somethin sweet with a friend, I would suggest trying the Maple Butter Blondie because it is ablsolutely sublime! read more

I have been to the Roseville location a handful of times now. The food is always delicious and hot but I have got to say that I am genuinely impressed at the management. They truly care about the reputation of their restaurant always going the extra mile to make any slip up right. A prime example was the other night when my family and I spent the entire day at MOA and we had four very hungry children at the table. The apps took a little long to be out because of a slip up in the kitchen and the kiddos were not happy. We received excellent commodities and sincere apologies to make up for it. This is definitely my go to Applebee's! read more

Not impressed with curbside pick up. The employee who took the order over the phone was very nice and repeated the entire order perfectly. When we picked up our meals and got back to the hotel, the drinks we never included and there were no spoons for the kids yogurt. Food was the same as expected. read more

This place has really gone south into the bland menu and "I hate my life" servers. I looked at the menu which has changed in the last few months. It's trying to look like Chili's offering up meal deals which included appetizer, entrées and desserts. When everything looks blah.. my friend and I ended up with cheeseburgers. The service was non-existent. The server got our drinks after 10 minutes.. the appetizer came after another 10 minutes from another server.. 30 minutes later..(seriously) the burgers finally arrived.. But the condiments were wrong and the burger cooked wrong.. 20 minutes later the server comes back to see if everything was alright.. we told him both orders were wrong. He said he'd correct it. Another 15 minutes fly by.. we figure we should just eat, pay and leave since the server forgot. The people to the left and right of us were complaining to the mgr already about wrong orders.. non existent servers.. so we decided that our server sucked. After we ate.. the server came to pick up the plates and trash. I reminded him kindly that he never got refills, he never fixed the orders. He just said.. ok. Not a care in the world.. We paid, tipped and left. read more

Stopped here by myself because I had to burn time before picking someone up at airport, and I was hungry! I took a small booth in the bar. Clean restaurant and the hostess was nice. The bartender was helpful (and funny) by showing me the 3 for $10 special, which saved me a lot of money. I ordered the chips and salsa with guacamole (decently priced add-on) and a bacon burger. The presentation of the chips and salsa was BEAUTIFUL! The taste of all was delicious. The chips were crispy and warm. Then came my entree. Again, everything was fresh and hot and tasty with beautiful presentation. The bartender refilled my coke and let me know he had to go behind the bar and that the other waitress would take over. That's where only four stars comes in. I was going to make another order "to go" to bring to my hubby but told the bartender I was going to sit awhile before doing that. Despite trying to get the attention of the other waitress to put in that order or to even get my check, i couldn't. I ended up paying through ziosk, which only had options to order appetizers or desert. I would definitely return to this Chili's but am a little disappointed I was forgotten. read more

The food (sirloin, garlic mashed, broccoli) was pretty good, but the problem was the service. I have trouble walking, use a cane, but the host seated me in the farthest, darkest corner with no other patrons near me. And then forgot to tell any of the servers I was there. It took nearly 15 minutes before I was able to snag a server who eventually sent over the server for my area. I would have given 4* for the food, but the service left me cold. read more

It has been a while since I stopped in to a local Applebee's and so I thought I check out what was offered here! Applebee's always have had that bad & grill feel since the bar is in the middle of the whole restaurant. If you have not been to one also expect sports to be played throughout the restaurant in perfect vicinity of the area that you're sitting, so if you're a sports fanatic I can guarantee you won't miss a moment! The menu has changed tremendously! They now have way more variety than the old menu back in the day! The server that we had was phenomenal! She explained the menu and let us know what her favorites are currently on the new menu! Very helpful for anyone who is indecisive with food decisions. I decided to go with the Create your own grill master! Selecting the 8oz Top Sirloin (added mushrooms +/additional price) with potatoes cheese and bacon along with their house Mac & Cheese (you get to choose your two sides). Usually, I have always had the worse experience with my steak not being cooked properly even when I am asked how I like my meat to be prepared! (For any chain restaurants) This time when the steak came out it was made to perfection! It was cooked to how I was ordered and the flavor was wonderful! For anyone that's curious, I had the medium-rare steak! I for sure enjoyed my time at this Applebee's as the service was great and the food was on point! Hope everyone's experience here will be as great as mine! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

The first time we stopped at this location I was 9 months pregnant in July and their a/c wasn't working very well. The restaurant was pretty busy, the food was taking a while to come out (we had a large group, so that didn't help either), I was preggo hungry. We were seated right along a wall of windows with the sun beating down. I felt so sick with an empty stomach and the heat, that I left the group and sat at the bar with a large glass of water until the food came. Not a good first experience. We asked the waitress if they could turn the a/c up (before we knew it wasn't working properly), and she was kind of rude about it. (Though, I'm sure she was miserable as well, having to run around back and forth in a hot kitchen serving us food.) We were in the area again though and stopped for a lunch date. The a/c was working much better, it wasn't so crowded, and the food came out much quicker. I think our first experience was probably fluke, and it didn't help our attitudes that we were planning my mother-in-laws funeral. This time around the hubbs and I were able to have a nice conversation without a lot of background noise. The food was quality Applebee's food, and we left without any complaints. :) read more

Four of us were there last night for their hamburger special. Good food, good service from Serena and good prices. We have also used their take out service--very effiicent. We will be back. read more

I have to say, if it wasn't for Rachel, the bartender, server, car delivery person, cleaning tables, I probably would not go back. I watched other servers doing nothing to help this awesome person. Shame on them. Good on her, she is fabulous, and needs a huge raise for all she does for this Applebees. On a side note, I just had the ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli, now it is off the menu, I don't even understand their thoughts, as it was the best things on their menu!! read more

This Applebee's is definitely the best around the area - I have lived closer to others but have still gone to this one. The staff are typically friendly and attentive, the food is fresh and served promptly. I've scarcely had any issues with this place, and typically when I have they haven't been big but rather just nit-picky. Stop by on Mondays for great deals like $5 burgers, wings and pitchers - it's not just a late night special even! The only thing missing at this place - or any applebee's for that matter - is outside seating/patio - they really need to start doing that! I think it would really up their game a lot. read more

Terrible service. 15 minutes to get the salad to us. Then another 10 minutes for appetizers. Then another 10 minutes for our burger and shrimp stir fry to come out. Stir fry didn't taste good. Burger was decent. Then the server literally walked passed our table and didn't do a full stop to ask how we were doing so that was confusing. All in all not going to Applebee's for a long time or ever. read more

Unfortunately this Applebee's has soured me to the whole chain. I recently went there and ordered the chicken parm and after 40 min I got rubber chicken on boring noodles with cold sauce. I went there 1 year prior and got ribs and had food poisoning that night. The staff is friendly, but if you want anything besides a burger and coors, look elsewhere. read more

I see all the bad ratings for this place but really don't understand the reasoning. After coming here for multiple months I can promise you that the server we got, Daniel, is by far one of the hardest most amazing workers ever! Also the service and food delivery speed was exceptionally speedy! They are really turning this place around, based off of the other reviews, and it truly shows! Keep up the great work would recommend this location to many many people ESPECIALLY because of Daniel! read more

Super disappointed the last 2 times I have been there I have had the worse service ever the server Doesn't even check in to see how The food is until after me and my Fiancé where done with our food, never came though To ask us for refills when we were both empty, and I asked for well done steak and I get rare I'm like In complete discus I def won't be going back. read more

Arrived at this Applebees at 11:40 pm because i wanted to have a drink and eat something but the bartender told me the kitchen was closed, so i left. Drove 20 minutes for nothing. Big disappointment. Not going to an Applebees ever again. read more

We showed up about a 1/2 hr before late night happy hour. Not sure if that had anything to do with the service we received. They appeared to have plenty of staff for how busy they were. Took a bit before anyone came to our table. We had an appetizer, I had soup and two entrees. All the plates were still on the table when we left. I think she may have refilled our drinks once. Took a really long time to get the bill. When we did we placed a $25 gift card and a card to pay for the balance with the bill. She ignored the gift card completely and only charged our card. I tried getting her attention for at least 15 minutes. We finally just signed, left a low tip and we will be sure to go to a different Applebee's to hopefully use the gift card! read more

we're so excited to see you have the boneless wings again for 25 cents they are so good you really get chicken not all breading. enjoy we will. read more

Worse customers service! Two years ago we were seated and two groups after us were served first before us. I have not been back since then, but today we decided to give it a try again and BIG mistake. We order only appetizers and a plain burger to go and waited for 30 mins. While two groups (4 people/2 people) who sat 5 minutes after us got there food right away with entrees and appetizers. Smh! The managers excuse was they were waiting on the burger to be ready before they could bring us our appetizers out. Which were cold and we had no plates to eat on. The whole purpose of a "to go" is to have it "to go" when we leave not when we are served! We will NEVER come again nor recommend this location to anyone! read more

Slow service . . . Really slow . . . Hello ! . . . Anybody out there ? . . . * insert cricket sounds *

My friends and I use to frequent this place. But we will most likely not be going here ever again. The table we got sat at was not clean, the person then pulled a towel out that look to be tucked into his crotch area. It took 15-20 min for us to get a server. Drinks came about 10 minutes later, and food was about 30 min later and barely warm. We began to eat only to notice our server was picking their nose!!!! We left what was owed and walked out without finishing dinner. We sent a email, and got a quick response from the so called manager. She said to me "well sometime people just have bad days" she said they would make it right. I received a email with $5 gift card. I was shocked, as we had spent over $50 for food and drink! What a slap in the face to a loyal customer. Still grossed out every time I think about it!! Do yourself a favor and do not go here!!!! read more

Random place to enjoy a steak, but their house sirloin is so juicy & their vegetables are seasoned to perfection. Everything came out very fast. Bartender was nice & efficient. read more

Always have a good time at this Applebees. Good food, friendly service! I am impressed that I always have a manager "check in" at my table. I appreciate that they want to ensure a good experience. Kudos to this Applebees. read more

The food is relatively the same as I have had it at other Applebee's. Not spectacular and not a disappointment. It took me about 15 minutes to get a server after being seated, despite the restaurant not being busy. If you like chain restaurants, here's the place for you. Drinks are pretty good (the alcohol kind). read more

I got my order and my burger was not done well enough for me . The manager Dallas Ward was the best ever . He made it right that means a lot too . I am a Assistant Manager at Arby's . He was great, he get ssix star. Great guy will return and bring friends! read more

Just a great quality meal at an affordable price. Of course we all know what we're getting when we walk into and Applebee's and thats what i have come to love about the place. I branched out a little bit on my last visit and got the Chicken Tenders and Fries. WOW! The depth of flavor in the BBQ sauce was on another level and i will be back soon, with all my friends, to sample some more great eats! read more

I've gone here a few times lately with my wife and kids. The service is consistently good. We buy the discounted appetizers and beer that are offered after 9 PM. The food is fine, typical pub fare. read more

In comparison to other applebees this one is above par. This is my go-to Applebee's so I'm a little biased. The service is generally quick and there's a good mix of people. read more

Had the worst experience in my life at any restaurant ever. Went to Applebees in Roseville. Convinced my boyfriend to go w/ me there to try out their new bowls for $8.99. He wanted to go to TGIFridays. Wished I had listened to him. We ordered our food and drinks right away. There were 3 tables that got seated after us. They all got their food before we even got our drinks from the bar. We asked the server 2 times where are our drinks. They are coming...We got our appetizer 30 minutes later...still no drinks from the bar! We had wings...we asked for napkins. never got them. We found the manager MIKE and asked him for some napkins....never got them after 5 minutes. We both went to wash our hands in the bathroom! Our drinks arrived after 45 minutes. Our food arrived after waiting over an hour. One was cold!! the bowls are supposed to be HOT! We decided to leave and asked for the one bowl that was HOT for a to-go carton. Waitress brought a tiny one.......really? I am putting my entire meal in a 4 inch box? She went to get the larger size. We never got to order dessert. I can't believe that a Manager can't get napkins in less than 5 minutes? I can't believe it takes 45 mintues to get a mixed drink? Why did 3 tables get their food before we got a bar drink after asking our server CLAIRE S about it twice? Why was the appetizer out before the drinks? Why did it take an HOUR to get our food? And then it was cold? Perhaps this Applebees in Roseville needs to dial back to serving at 25% capacity again if they can't handle it at 75% capacity. read more

Went here for dinner after work. They said they close at 1am but we got there at 11:45 pm and they told us they do not serve food anymore! If you list that you open til 1am, you should serve food til 1am!waste our time going all the way there read more

Sub par. Pay an extra $1.69 for onion rings instead of fries and you get five...apparently if you get the basket there's only ten. Expensive for semi tasteless food. Oh well, I had a gift card I didn't wanna waste. read more

Decent place to eat. Food is always mediocre , but not bad for the price. The staff is always great. They do deals every month now for a specific drink for 1$. That is cool, but its definitely 98% mix with 2% alcohol, so don't expect more. read more
