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

Nice Applebees location. We stopped here for lunch earlier this week. I got the Big bacon Cheeseburger and french fries with everything on it. Nice size place with a not so crowded lunch crew. NIce waiter served us and it was a good day. Been here a few times in the past. Great place, not bad. I ll be back again. read more

Only leaving 5 stars because I came in for a business meeting today and finally saw Patty back! She is very professional, communicates well with my table and made us feel great. For my vendor to say that our service was great, that mean a lot. Management... she is an example of what all waitresses should be doing and perhaps she should be part of the management team to train others. Feel free to contact me! read more

Good food, friendly service, kid friendly. Just what you would expect and they did not dissapoint. Thank you.

This location is a 0 customer service, which is amazing, but the food was horrible. My daughter and I both got sick. We did the all you can eat wings. Only two rounds did not even eat them, so they took them and then tossed them in the trash. The spirte was not carbonate the lemonade was watered down. If im paying money, I expect better quality of food. read more

5 stars for the excellent service from John! He was so sweet, attentive and just had a positive attitude! My husband and I were watching him interact with all of his tables and we were getting a kick out of how animated he is! He is awsome read more

Poor service and management... We arrived around the time that they open which is 11am. There were many empty seats but the waitress wouldn't seat us down. Her reasoning was there was a party and they have no idea how many people were going to be there. Well.. those people weren't there yet... Ended up walking out. Good job Applebee's! read more

We go every first Tuesday of the month in a large group after our meeting and last night our server was a bit clueless. But I almost blame the manager for sticking us in his section. I rarely give a bad review, but I'm so mad. We got home ridiculously late because it took this kid an hour to split up the bill. If he would've taken the orders the way they always do the orders. It wouldn't have been an issue. If we go in next time, maybe we should all sit at separate tables in the same area so that way he won't be so confused on how to split up the bill. It shouldn't be that hard. RIDICULOUS!!! read more

Food was heavy and greasy/oily, barely ate half. Bar service is okay. Ambiance is alright, not the best for sports games. Servers were friendly. If I ever go back I'll try sitting in dine in. read more

Went for the all you can eat special. we were initially served shrimp and then it took 1/2hour to be served the riblets. Shrimp was plentiful. Riblets two very small bony pieces. We were never asked if we wanted the wings or a refill of shrimp or riblets. After one and one half hours we gave up and left. It was an exhausting dinner experience read more

After a long day at work we came here for a late night dinner. Food was great. Server kept checking on us. Kids loved their food. Will definitely be coming back. read more

My son and I are in the area for a college orientation and had a very nice quick 2 for $30 menu dinner. The seating was fast. The food was decent. Our hostess and busser hurried to get us a booth. Our waiter Greg was quick and efficient. read more

Was one of the last tables sat with friends and family (6 of us) for my sisters graduation. Natalie was so sweet and attentive to us. Arriving so late and being in the restaurant till almost midnight (we weren't the only ones please don't judge lol) I expected not the best service. But I loved our server. She laughed along at our jokes, checked up on us regularly, and dealt with our needs well. The food was delicious, and we were all very satisfied with our appetizers, main courses, and desserts. I've always been a bit of an applebees doubter, but this experience upped my opinion for sure. read more

A group of us went in to get food and a few drinks and were treated so rude! The manager Sarah refused to serve us and would not explain why! We were made to feel very uncomfortable and in the end left. Would not recommend coming here if you would like to have a good time. read more

I took my kids to have lunch today and had the worst experience at this restaurant. We usually dine at the Azusa location but we were shopping in San Dimas so we opted to stop here. We were sat very quickly by our server, Patricia, but her whole demeanor was extremely off putting and rude. We sat down, never introduced her self (I only know her name from my bill). We gave her our drink order and she just walked away. After she dropped our drinks off, she walked away and didn't come back for another 10 minutes. (The restaurant was not busy at all). We gave her our food order and she went about her way. Once our food came out, she set it down and started walking away without asking if we needed anything. I said, "oh we need A1 please". It was another 5 minutes or so before she came back with the A1. Then she never returned again. Never came to check on our food to make sure everything was okay. Which it wasn't. My daughter ordered a steak medium rare and it came out medium well/well done. It was extremely gristly and tough. I ordered chicken tortilla soup that was awful and I wanted to order a salad because I didn't care for the soup. After about 20 minutes she came back and asked if we needed anything else and I just said "my bill please". By the time she came back, I was so upset and just wanted to go home and she didn't bother asking if everything was okay, so I didn't think she'd care if I expressed my concerns about our food. I made sure to promptly hand her my card when she brought my bill so I wouldn't have to wait another 20 minutes for her to come back. Definitely the worst experience I've ever had here.

This is from my sister. Ordered the nachos. Asked for no jalapeños but the cheese came with jalapeños in it so hot! She eats nothing hot. Sent back asked for a chicken and cheese quesadilla that she has ordered many times before asked for no jalapeño guess what it had jalapeños!!! Not going back since they can't figure out no jalapeños means none! read more

Skye was our hostess and was very nice getting us a good table by the tvs. Colleen was attentive and fast with getting us any refills, extras and our food was perfect. She even picked up the straw wrappers off our table to keep it clean. This place is wonderful. Thank you for making our dining experience great. read more

Went to Applebee's yesterday my hostess name was Skye very nice lady she had seated me and my husband in a very comfortable spot and was very polite she made us feel very comfortable this was my first time visiting Applebees and I will go back food was excellent and delicious I recommend any one to visit this restaurant read more

Went for dinner and ordered the holiday meal and it was horrible the chicken was like rubber. Never again will I eat at Applebee's.

I stopped in here on my way back home from the fair with my parents. We got seated right away but it did take a while before our server finally came to us. She was friendly but really slow, and lacked coming over to check up on us and give us refills and what not. My parents ordered full on meals and well since I wasn't too hungry I just got a baked potato on the side for one of their dishes. Note that you can only get this 4-10pm. It came out, baked from the oven hot and ready to go. She also brought out extra butter which was nice cause I didn't need to wave her down later to get more. Now I know come in for dinner time and just order a baked potato, totally worth it !! read more

So glad the manager made an area for outside dining that's just perfect Tired of take out!!! Food is simply delicious read more

I came here after a long day of Raging Waters with family. We came as a party of 30 and they didn't really accommodate for us. The server was disgruntled and seemed almost as if he did not want to be there. The following are mishaps during our experience on Applebee's end: 1. Not utilizing technology if there was a big party that was going to split the bills several ways then what they could've done was use the tablets that were on each and every table. 2. Communication The Kitchen and the waiter were not on the same wavelength. I told the waiter wanted the Shrimp Stir Fry without the Shrimp. He brought me an order of the Shrimp Stiry Fry with more seafood and no rice. Big downer. Also, the kitchen ran out of many items but did not tell the waiter that prior to us ordering. Communication can use some work 3. Customer Service It is important to provide a friendly service to people who are paying you for a quality dining experience. The least you could do is smile and do your best to accommodate for us. However, the server was selfish and did not care for his lack of interpersonal skills. Overall, I do not recommend Applebees for large parties or just for anyone in general. This restaurant lacks fundamental principles of being a functioning establishment. read more

Had a great dinner here tonight,our server John was great,very professional, was as attentive as he needed to be. Our food was just as we expected,but the service was super, if we could,we would schedule our dinners around his shifts. read more

This evening was one of the best Applebee's experiences we've ever had! Our server Ashley was so engaging and attentive. The other servers who brought out the dishes were just as nice. The restaurant was clean, though the table had a little stickiness...I'm a clean freak, so I notice everything...but it wasn't enough to deter me from genuinely enjoying myself. The food was fine, your normal Applebee's fare. The star that night was without a doubt, Ashley and her colleagues. For some reason, the restaurants in this particular plaza have been consistently good. Must be something in that San Dimas water. read more

Wow best service ive ever had tonight. We usually get good service at this location but john was ontop of everything. A genuinely good guy with a great work ethic and very polite and attentive. John if you see this....you served my boyfriend and i (with the light blue hair) and you were great. I really appreciated your service. Thank you. read more

You know what time it is! Been going to this place ever since I was kid. Lifetime customer. Always amazing food here and a great atmosphere with great drink specials. Go in for a late night happy hour if you dare. Can't go wrong with those boneless wings! read more

Solid but not spectacular. I had the 6 oz salmon and sides of garlic mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo but the salmon wasn't over cooked which is always a big plus and the veggies were cooked just right as well. The garlic potatoes didn't have so much flavor. But edible. Our server, Tiffany, was pleasant and efficient. I'd go back. read more

Came in at 9:30, waited to be greeted. Thought it was self seating, so we went to sit and were asked to wait in the waiting area. Waited another 10-15 minutes to not be acknowledged while 1 person served a few people at the bar and the other person was cleaning a bar full of empty tables. Eventually left because we clearly were not welcome there. read more

To be honest, I haven't been to Applebees many times in my life. They're usually found in the suburbs, where I've never lived. But we had such a great experience here that I felt compelled to review it! My fiancé, an Air Force veteran, and I have a tradition every Veterans' Day where we go to as many restaurants offering specials as we can. We took his son to the Denny's next door, but when the wait was too long, I suggested Applebee's. I'm so glad we came here! We were warmly greeted by 2 restaurant servers who were personally welcoming all veterans coming in, and seated right away. Flags for every branch of the military and special projects adorned all of the walls of the restaurant. They even had a special, set "table of honor" near the door with a place setting for soldiers who were still missing. Applebee's does Veterans' Day better than any other restaurant we've seen. We were promptly offered a kids' menu and crayons, a free beer for my fiancé, and a special veteran menu for the day. Some restaurant's special menus for the holiday have been kinda lame, but this one had tons of good stuff.... he settled on the steak with mushrooms and mashed potatoes. My stepson and I shared the cheeseburger egg rolls (seriously, get them! Even if it sounds like an abomination, they are delicious) and pretzel sticks with beer cheese sauce. Servers occasionally stopped by to thank him for his service, it was cool to see tables full of old men wearing their uniforms, looking like they were probably old military buddies, and we made some friends too. I don't have high expectations for chain food, but it was actually really, really good. We were treated so special here that we were so glad we came! Thank you, Applebees, for showing everyone else how it's done. read more

Love Applebee's salads. They all taste amazing. The last time we were there, we ordered the steak salad, but the Steak was tough. When our waitress asked "how's everything", the honesty kicked in and I said "it was okay.... salad is good, but the meat was tough". Our waitress asked if we wanted anything else instead. She was super nice about it. I mean, it was not a big deal, we ate it all cause we were starving. About 5 or 10 minutes later, the manager brought us newly cooked steak, fresh from the grill. She wanted us to try the steak to see if it was better. OMG, is that sweet and amazing service, or what? Of course, the meat was so much more tender. She also gave us a 50% discount on our salads. Top notch service, great management! read more

Missing the "Oriental Chicken Salad" for a few years. Passed by this location and went inside with mom. We ordered for 2 for $22 or $27 deal. What's good about what we ordered is that you can choose an entree from the 2 for $ 22 and another person can choose an entree from the 2 for $27 menu. The total will be about $24.50. Our server was quick and sufficient to take our order. He make sure we understand how the deals work and mentioned to us about other deals from that restaurant. read more

Just left and was served by Mackayla, she did a great job. However, when given the receipt, according to it, the tip examples are INCORRECT! I informed her that it is incorrect and Tio is based on SUBTOTAL, not grand total. It's bad enough inflation is beyond ridiculous - but for a well cooked burger, just right! And excellent service does not justify being taken advantage of with tix examples!! MANAGEMENT fix your machines and be accurate on tips' suggestions. Ugh read more

Decent food . Nothing too special . However enjoyed the artichoke dip and chips more so than my main course .

I been here many nights for the Happy Hour, I always bring my kids, some servers are good, some are not...Tonight came here for late night dinner, I just wanted to get Happy Hour to go, but can't, so I sat down to order from Happy Hour menu, the food is good, I had chicken wings and wonton chicken tacos, I love them. The bathroom was clean. The service I received from Willie was good. read more

Don't eat here You are ignored from the moment you walk in I walked in with family and asked if I was helped no. Then they took off for parts unknown The Applebee's in Montclair has better service and the McDonalds also has better service Slow as hell and a waste of my time and money read more

Came here to pick up an order to go for the hubs and I. I got the bacon cheeseburger that was extremely salty and consisted of almost inedible fatty bacon. The hubs got the chicken pasta which was also salty. I usually love the burger at Applebee's but this location is clearly off! Decided to give them another shot and have husband's bday dinner here. So I called a week in advance and attempted to book reservations for 25 at 7:30. The gal transferred me to the manager, either named Matt, Andrew or Chris. The guy was rude repetitive unaccommodating and talked too much! He told me they could not accommodate our party's one week in advance reservation!!! Wait, huh?!?! Annoyed, I called the Chili's in Glendora and their manager Christine happily accommodated my requests and welcomed additions as needed! She was beyond helpful and had a super attitude! Too bad Applebee's in San Dimas isn't the same! read more
