This location is great. Visited for the first time in probably 15 or so years and had a wonderful experience. Inside was clean and looked newly renovated. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Food definitely exceeded my expectations; everything was excellent! I ordered the grilled chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I also want to take a second to appreciate how they offer Pepsi products here as well. It's nice to have that option at a restaurant for once! 5/5 experience for sure read more

I had such an amazing experience at Applebee's and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Jolie! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such a warm and friendly welcome at the front door, which immediately set the tone for a great visit. That kind of first impression really matters, and they nailed it. Once we were seated, Jolie took over and made the experience even better. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming the entire time. She answered all of our questions with patience and made sure we felt completely taken care of. Honestly, it felt like she could read my mind l..my drink was always refilled before I even realized I needed it! She stayed on top of everything and made sure we had all the little things that make a big difference such as extra napkins, to-go boxes, anything we needed without us even having to ask. That level of service is rare, and she absolutely went above and beyond. Easily some of the best service I've ever had. On top of that, the manager was also fantastic. She came by right at the beginning and even helped take our order so we could make it in time for happy hour, which was such a thoughtful and proactive touch. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish.. from the front door welcome, to incredible service from Jolie, to a manager who truly cares. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - American Near Me - San Dimas, California

We've been to the Applebee's in San Dimas many times, but this time I decided to leave a review to support our local business. The happy hour menu is fantastic -- the drinks are incredible, great quality, and very reasonably priced. Their regular menu is solid as well, with plenty of options, and it's definitely family- and kid-friendly. I love the overall vibe here -- people enjoying themselves, gathering with friends and family, and having a good time. It really feels welcoming. The food, the people, and the service all come together to make this a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. read more

What a lively place. This really is San Dimas neighborhood bar. Seemed like everyone from town was here. Good mix of a older and younger crowd not to mention families too. I liked how the bar was in the middle of the place. Plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. I can see this place getting live during big games. Menu has a little something for everyone. The service was great. The server was checking in on our party throughout our stay. Food came out quick. The Tex Mex Shrimp Bowl was good. I think it could use plumper shrimp. The shrimps in the bowl were shrimps. It was a great experience for not having been to Applebees in a long time. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Tex-Mex Shrimp Bowl - American Near Me - San Dimas, California

San Dimas, Ca We are in the area for a night and this restaurant is in the plaza where our home for the night is. The place isn't busy when we came so we were seated right away. By the time our server came, we were ready to order. I got the 6 oz steak with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side because they were out of broccoli. While my SO got the Bourbon Street Steak with mashed potatoes as well. My steak is kind of tough on the side even though I asked for medium but it was edible, tasty. My SO's steak is much better - tender and well seasoned. Our server kept on checking on us and refilled our water glasses. Veterans discount is accepted among other things. Parking is free and plenty of it. They have good TV's all around mostly playing sports. They have an affordable menu special that starts from $25. read more

For a quick meal I prefer going to this Applebee's for takeout over fast food restaurants Just as quick and pretty close to same value Just a lot better quality of food and bigger serving The app is great and there is always parking available for takeout orders. The food will get delivered right to your car so you don't have to get out. read more

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Perfectly packaged - American Near Me - San Dimas, California

Post Covid Applebees grill never recovered, at one time it was a great family restaurant, during Covid they would sell drinks in styrofoam cups, the food was an afterthought. I tried supporting business in the city, but big box companies like Applebees are very bland and basic. They need to revamp there menu and think outside of that corporate box they are trapped in...JB read more

My Husband went with some friends and asked if I wanted something brought home. I asked for two things; A side order of Onion Rings and a side order of Garlic Green Beans. The onion rings were fine after the air fryer but the beans? Not only were they NOT garlicky at all but they could not even bother to put any butter or even salt on them. The cooks need to pay better attention. read more

Really great customer service. We were seated in 3 minutes. Server was great and good was great. They had a good deal which was 2 meals for 25 and really good kids meals. Even the manager stopped by to check on us. Would definitely go back. read more

You can hoo hum all you want about Applebee's, but sometimes you just need something a smidge above fast food and this neighborhood grill + bar delivers. First of all, shout out to our waitress Chelsea because she is a real one. Homegirl was so friendly and attentive even though she was waiting on several tables. She recommended the chicken wonton tacos ($10.99) and I could sense that she genuinely liked them which made me like her even more. Service was 10 out of 10. My sister and I shared a medley of things: -boneless wings in buffalo sauce with ranch ($14.79) -chicken wonton tacos ($10.99): sweet Asian chile marinated grilled chicken stuffed into crispy wonton shells topped with signature coleslaw + cilantro -bacon ranch crispy chicken sandwich ($13.99): crispy, hand-breaded chicken breast topped with two strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, ranch, pickles, shredded lettuce on a brioche bun Honestly, everything was mid and that's what I was kind of expecting. The chicken wonton tacos were definitely giving Asian, but the signature slaw tasted very similar to the coleslaw at KFC, so that made for an interesting bite. Could the boneless wings been less bready? Yes, ofc, but again, I didn't mind it. Overall, it was serviceable bar food and is relatively cheap compared to other chain restaurants. For $14.00, you get a pretty substantial chicken sandwich with a side of fries which is a good deal considering that fast food combos can run about the same cost. They consistently run deals where you can get an appetizer + entree at a great value. I came to Applebee's out of sheer convenience and it was everything I expected. read more

I'm gonna be honest, I think what really makes this location great is the employees. Every experience we've had has been a personable great experience. I go in with my mother and they all treat her so well and that's everything to me. The food is great the chicken Wong Tong tacos should be against the law. They're so good, lol. If you're looking for some great food, great environment with a positive crowd. This is the place for you. 5 stars read more

Annoyed especially with the manager Lorena!! Made me feel so uncomfortable definitely calling corporate! Came for my bday to eat with family ordered a drink, but I have a temporary license since DMV is sending me a renewed one. They denied me the drink which okay that's fine but The whole time we are eating enjoying family time she's STARRING AT ME HARD!!l She needs to not be standing near by walking up n down our table! Freaking clown behavior!!! read more

So Applebee's is one of my favorites throwback spots. Not too busy to be comfortable. My favorite, the chicken wonton tacos!!! They're amazing. I will say universally at various locations they could have better limes. Yes, limes. They do kinda do something extraordinary to the tacos. lol. Drinks are good, staff is always pleasant and professional. read more

Why can you say Applebee's is cheap but the service is good and you get a lot of food for what you pay for. There are no Applebee's near Los Angeles or the city I live in in Inglewood so whenever we're in a city that has Applebee's, we always stop there. I happen to enjoy Applebee's love the riblets. read more

We were pretty pleased at finding such a nice location to watch games and have a decently priced meal. I'd always liked the Applebee's Grill in Alhambra, so had been wanting to give this location nearer to my current home a try. First, the ambiance for a sports bar was nice and cozy. Great lighting. Plenty of space and comfort on a game night. TVs all around for a good view from most tables. I enjoyed the Red Sangria and it was offered on the Happy Hour list! The Queso and warm and crispy Chips were very good. I really loved the Asian Chicken Salad! Tender chicken, fresh ingredients, and great flavor. Price can't be beat for such a huge and quality salad. My company enjoyed the baby back ribs and tasty french fries, as well as them carrying Blue Moon. We both loved the coleslaw! We will definitely be back, particularly to watch games! read more

Come to Applebee's for lunch or dinner or happy hour. Their menu has something for everyone. Choose salads, soup, sandwiches or grilled chicken, burgers or them ribs! You can't go wrong with the extensive drink menu either! Beer, Wine or Cocktails. They have many different types of margaritas, my favorite used to be the frozen concoction from the margarita machine. But lately, I have the classic on the rocks which can be made with strawberries or mango! Tip: Join the Rewards program on their app and get free order of chips and salsa when you check in. It's time to give Applebee's a visit and tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

The service was quick and they anticipated our every need. They were friendly and accommodating. The food recommended was superb!

My husband and I enjoyed the casual relaxing atmosphere and delicious food, and the best part was the attentive, kind, and friendly service from our server, Jolie. From refilling our water glasses to noticing when we needed extra napkins (without us even asking), she was on point with everything, super considerate and kind. Living in San Dimas for the past two years we have enjoyed the customer service of other establishments just fine, but until Jolie we had not seen such stellar service while dining in a restaurant. We are so grateful to Jolie for making a simple night out after work such a lovely experience. read more

The food is good but not very healthy. They used to offer weight watcher choices. Service was friendly. They offer happy hour wines and spirits and we were there at that time. I ordered my HH wine and was informed they were out of it, so I asked what wine they offer in its place, they told me and when the bill came they charged me full price for the wine!!! Personally I feel that it wasn't my problem they were out of my wine, the least they could have done is give me the HH price for my wine!! Well, not such good customer service!! The place also is very noisy! read more

We enjoy coming to the San Dimas Applebee's, the servers are very friendly and helpful, the food is very good.

I have been coming here for over 20 years now. However, an unfortunate incident that occurred a couple of days ago has ruined the whole experience for me. I had two glasses of wine and then closed out my tab. The bartender on duty (Aurora) proceeded to humiliate me in front several other regular patrons. I have witnessed her antics before with other customers, but never dreamed that she would pull such inappropriate behavior directed towards me. I will NOT return ever again. She really needs to retire. read more

I come here every once in a while through the years and recently had a great dining experience here on a Wednesday night with an old co worker. Got the 2 for $25 dinner with a great appetizer and a delicious strawberry lime daiquiri drink. The food and drinks were really good. We stayed catching up for a while and our waiter Greg was more than gracious, kind and attentive. Definitely will be back! read more

I have been a weekly regular at Applebees for the last few months - I should have reviewed them long ago. The weekday chef has me hooked on the Whole Lotta Bacon Burger. This is the first time in my life, and I am old, that my bacon is actully extra crispy like I order. It is really good bacon to start with, nice and thick, but when it's cooked crispy it is the best ever, and he cooks it PERFECTLY!!! MY KUDOS TO HIM!! The entire staff is great, you are always greeted with a cheerful host/hostess. My go-to server is Katie, she knows my order better than I do and she is on top of my every need or want, but every server I have had has been very friendly and good at what they do. The 'manager of the day' often comes by to check in to see if all is okay and when my server is busy they have even gotten my refill for me. I have never been disappointed so check them out!! read more

William bartender from Applebee's in San Dimas. Excellent Shakes and Drinks prepared. And Happy Hour Food from cook's. Servers Colleen and Sam delivered our food.

I haven't been here to this specific location in years. Not for any particular reason but I'm so glad we went in today. Our waiter John was soooo nice! It was the best customer service we have had at a restaurant in a long time. He was kind and friendly but not over bearing. Way to go John! Thanks for the great mid week date nice service :) food was great too! Heard the manager telling someone else that their chef has been there for 20 or 28 years I'm not super sure because we were sitting far from the convo but I could totally tell! The attention to detail was excellent chef :) read more

I've been to this location multiple times. It's always been good but the hostess at the front Mia, was AWESOME. Her personality would make a great waitress! She was so sweet, attentive, and her personality was so alluring! Kyle was our server and was personable, made us feel very welcome and was on it with everything we needed! Food, like always was great! I definitely look forward to coming back to this location for those two... and the food! read more

So I ordered on line directly to Applebee's. I chose to pick up order. I have to say this was the best take out I have had in a long long time. I ordered the 2 for 26 deal. The side salad was very big and fresh. The portions of the 2 main courses were great. Enough for left overs. The food was hot and ready in 20 minutes. Absolutely fantastic. It got me to thinking about my past purchases through grub hub. There were monumental differences. The temperature of the food the portions and the packaging. So are the orders treated differently due to restaurant employees not receiving tips and grub hub drivers are receiving tips? Are drivers eating some of the food? I just think this issue should be looked into. The differences are just too much to be coincidental or ignored. read more

The place immediately smelled like sewage and toilet when you walk in. The waitress was nice and attentive. However, I left a 2 dollar tip for my two drinks but got a notification that I was charged 4 dollars when the tabs closed at midnight. Not really mad over 2 dollars, but don't steal additional tip and expect us not to notice. read more

Newly remodeled. Looks very similar to before but freshened up. It was overdue so this is a welcome update. The service here is very good. Servers are friendly and professional. Food quality is good for what it is. Low score because of the restrooms. This restaurant has the most disgusting men's room of any restaurant I have ever been to. Last 2 visits there were no paper towels to dry my hands and both times the restroom was filthy top to bottom. The stench of stagnant urine was gag-inducing. Restrooms are clearly not being cleaned well or on any kind of regular schedule. Unsanitary and absolutely vile. FIX THE BATHROOM SITUATION, MANAGERS!!! read more

As a former Applebee's server, we would always come to this location since I was not allowed to drink at my own. We never had an issue until tonight, with our "server" Samantha who was more like an expo. I completely understand judging a young table & not expecting a tip or anything but tonight's service was just beyond terrible & pathetic. Not once did she refill waters or buss any plates, & on top of that her attitude was ridiculously miserable. She dropped off the check before we even finished eating, tried overcharging us for drinks when I obviously know what we ordered was on happy hour & got annoyed with me when the TED didn't work. You definitely didn't deserve the tip we left. Luckily the TED wasn't working so I couldn't leave a survey on there & im not petty enough to call Regina. Just get your shit together or get another job. read more

Came here yesterday for dinner with the family. Danielle and I had the 2 for $27 while Ezra had the chicken fingers and French Fries. Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp - 3.5/5 stars. Baby Back Ribs with French fries - 3/5 stars. A bit dry and the sauce wasn't my favorite. Chicken Finger - 3.5/5 stars. Ezra practically cleared his plate. So why a 5 star review for 3 star food? The Service!! Greg C. was our server and he was hustling! He had 4-5 tables in his area and he was very attentive with all of us. Refill? You got it. Ketchup? You got it. Ranch? You got it. Another refill? You got it. Keep up the good work Greg. read more

I order a handcrafted burger and it was poor. Bun was dry and old. Burger was dry and tough. Fries were okay and the $1 chicken wings were cold and tasteless. Service was very good, friendly and restaurant was clean but food was poor. read more

The service was great and the food was good. I'm usually not a fan but this place changed my mind.

Went to Applebee's in San Dimas, and I had a great experience. Even on Friday nite, wait was almost non-existent. Ordered the dinner for 2 with my wife, I had the Grilled Chicken and Shrimp, my wife had the Three Cheese Penne. Meals were quick, serve hot, but very tasty. Chicken cooked to perfection, shrimp was really good. But it was our server that really made it special. I think her name was Natalie, and the manager very warm and friendly. The ambiance was cook, March Madness going on with all the TV's tuned into the games. Differently will be recommending this restaurant and will be returning. read more
