    Salmon meal
    Rae P.

    We went out to Applebees in Vallejo tonight for the Sizzling butter pecan blondie an absolute favorite of mine for over 20yrs! I was hesitant to come because of the poor service in Pinole but my goodness could Pinole learn a thing or two from Vallejo! So we got in around 550pm and I saw the happy hour menu but knew I had to order quickly. We got 2 mucho beach break drinks and they were The food, service, ambience and service were 10/10. Our server was Lucas was fantastic! Well done Vallejo. Also, the manager came over twice just to be sure we were enjoying our meal. I can't wait to return. oh btw, the blonde shrunken drastically but still a favorite !!

    By now, I think most diners know the equation when coming to Applebee's. Will it be the best quality food you've ever eaten? No. Is it satisfactory and priced affordably? Yes. That's undoubtedly the trade off. And this model fills that niche better than most. The chain in recent years has shuttered underperforming stores, but the location here in Vallejo remains. I had a promo offer through my Wyndham Rewards membership to eat here. But ended up misunderstanding the offer and missing out on the deadline. After joining the Club Applebee's Rewards program however, I was gifted with a free appetizer and decided to give it a whirl. Ordered take out. My free appetizer was the Chicken Quesadilla and my entree the Four Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders. If I were to return, I would not order either again. Both reminded me of cruise ship food. Not bad mind you, just nothing memorable in the least. The one-time free appetizer however, valued at about $13 wasn't to be dismissed. So, it wasn't a bad gamble at all. You may wish to join the program to claim your reward also? My order was ready on time, but I wasn't acknowledged for a minute or so when standing at the To Go station. Sorta felt like I needed to bust out a few jumping jacks to get 'em to notice me at first, lol. Little awkward there. The chain has always pushed the alcohol upsale from it's beginnings, this visit no different. Saw on the overhead bar menu for example where they even have liquor to go that's sold for consumption & portability out of plastic pouches or baggies. Yikes, that might could be a good thing or a bad thing I'm guessing? The men's restroom was clean and in order. Not sure I would hurry back anytime soon. But, I will quickly agree and reaffirm that Applebee's does provide value first and foremost. And this idea was driven home in spades by the steady stream of patrons entering the restaurant at around the same time as me.

    I wish there was a location closer to me. Service was great and can't get enough of them wangs. I'll visit again when I'm near the area.

    Decent burger ... fries were old and hard .

    Was craving a burger today ... decided to try Applebee's burger deals the $9.99 burger was just that ... barely . A little bit greasy in the fries had been sitting you could tell because they were hard as rocks ... still tipped the server well . Don't expect anything special pretty sure the goal is to get you in there to get your drinking ! Lol

    Just visited Applebees Vallejo wherein there was an "All you can eat" special promotion! Particularly noteworthy: The food choices were delicious and served with smiles and courtesy!!! No wonder lots of customers tend to return to this neighborhood wonder!!! Strongly recommend frequent visits by anyone and especially "families" for a warm welcoming environment and great foods and drinks!!! "Eating Good in the Neighborhood"

    The restaurant had nice decoration and was generally clean. The service was also relatively good. I got the 2 for $25 and the onion rings were nice and crunchy. They served it with bbq sauce which is questionable. I got the lime chicken entree and it was alright. Chicken wasn't dry but it wasn't juicy either. Rice was under seasoned and kinda tasted like uncle ben's rice. The tortilla strips on the bottom was a nice touch though. Overall, average experience of what I'd expect from applebees.

    Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders
    Christine D.

    I ordered a 4 cheese Mac & cheese w/ honey chicken tenders. Looks nice, but taste wise I could not finish the meal. The chicken tenders and the pasta were ok individually, but the honey glaze from the chicken tenders was too much to the point it was pooling into my pasta and changed the flavor of the pasta completely. I did not like this mix of flavor. Perhaps it is just personal preference that I did not enjoy this meal, but in general, it would have received higher ratings of the chicken was plated separately from the pasta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe I just chose the wrong item to order

    Sunday afternoon 2 for $26 deal. We both got 6 oz top sirloin mines with mashed and broccoli. He got fries and onion rings and we chose the two Caesar salad as our appetizer. Asked for it To brought all together. We also got a flight of margaritas (lime, strawberry, passion fruit, and mango). Place is hit or miss. My steak was not medium rare thank goodness for A1 steak sauce to make it edible for me. Overall it's an ok place for me when we want to get away from fast food.

    Tuesday 7:30pm. $9.99 Burger with Fries on Tuesdays for a Limited time, I believe. But it's a good deal considering prices on everything is up. The host and our server were nice and friendly. The burgers took about 25 mins from the point we ordered. On a Tuesday evening, the restaurant wasn't busy. They had about of empty tables. The burger and fries were good specially the waffle fries which was an upgrade for $1.99. In my opinion, the meal was a good deal.

    I've been sleeping on Applebee's, man! I recently started eating salads (I know, I know...) and I'm obsessed with theirs. That Oriental Chicken Salad baybeee! It's sooo good. The portion is huge -- definitely enough for two... but I usually don't share. I want that thang all to myself, lol! It's a perfect snack for later when you can't finish it in one sitting hehe. The 2 for $25 deal goes crazy. Two entrees and an appetizer? You just can't beat it. We usually do to-go, but I've been so impressed I had to dine in one time for the one time. I'd give this review 5 stars if we only talking about the salad. Otherwise, service and other food options keep it at a 3.

    08.17.2023 (This is definitely an outdated review but I found it in my drafts) I came to Applebees specifically for their all you can eat boneless wings and fries and it did not disappoint. It definitely satisfied my craving. It was a Thursday evening and the restaurant was neither empty nor full. The service was a little slow, but acceptable since there were only about 3 I tasted all the 5 different flavors which I am ordering from my most to least favorite: garlic parmesan, Buffalo, honey pepper, sweet Asian chille, and honey bbq. All of the flavors were delicious and loaded with flavor. My personal favorite was the garlic Parmesan. My only comment on was that it had a buttery flavor that was a bit overpowering. The honey bbq was my least favorite because I didn't really taste the honey flavor. It tasted like a boneless wing was just drenched with bbq sauce.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

    The food was good overall. We started with the fish and chips, and the fish was exactly how we like…read moreit--light, crispy, and coated in a delicate, crunchy batter (think Sardine Can). The onion rings were good too, although I wish they used the same batter as the fish. The food wasn't served quite as hot as I would have preferred, and they were pretty conservative with the condiments. That may be intentional given the location and the likelihood of non-customers helping themselves if everything was left on the tables. I asked whether the beets in the beet salad were freshly roasted or canned, and I was told they were fresh, so I ordered it. It was good, but something wasn't quite as fresh as I expected. It may have been the walnuts--I think they would have benefited from being toasted--or perhaps another ingredient. I'm very particular when it comes to beet salads. I also ordered the crab and artichoke melt, and this was the star of the meal. It was absolutely divine. Rich, buttery crab and melted cheese layered on thinly sliced, perfectly toasted ciabatta--it was pure comfort food. I was surprisingly full after just two bites, partly because the portions are generous and I'd already made a dent in the beet salad. I skipped drinks this visit, but I'll definitely be back to check out the rotating taps and wine selection. The staff were laid-back, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. The setting is one of the restaurant's biggest draws. The outdoor patio offers a beautiful bird's-eye view of the ferries arriving at Mare Island, making it the perfect place to linger over a meal. Inside, there's a large, inviting bar where it's easy to strike up a conversation with another guest, or you can grab one of the window seats and simply enjoy the waterfront views. I'll definitely be back.

    We stopped at Crush Lounge for a late lunch, and it was totally perfect for our needs…read more The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered a BLT sandwich with French fries. And it was so good- lots of crispy bacon and fresh tomato and lettuce. The bun was fresh and soft but held up well (read not soggy) against the tomato and mayo. My husband opted for the soft pretzel, was was piping hot upon arrival and came with two sauces- a mustard sauce and a cheese sauce. We finished it all. The sandwich was so large, I took half back to our room to eat for later. Crush Lounge also has a small bowling alley with several lanes. We didn't get to try it as it was reserved for an event, but this is such a cool feature of the property. This is a solid spot for a quick bite to eat or for drinks when staying at the Meritage.

Staffing has never been an issue, and it's always been easy to get help at the bar. The drinks are well-made and flavorful, though on the pricier side. The only food I've tried so far is the carnitas nachos, and they're definitely worth ordering. Overall, it's a fun spot for both adults and kids, and it's usually our first stop after checking in.

My waiter was really friendly and welcoming. He checked on me right away, asked if I knew what I wanted to order, and brought out water and chips. The customer service throughout my visit was excellent. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with TVs all around, a full bar, and outdoor seating. I chose a corner table where I could watch one of the soccer games on TV, which made for a relaxing lunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were good. The salsa had nice flavor without being overly spicy. I ordered the steak quesadilla plate, which came with refried beans, Spanish rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, and lettuce. My food arrived in about 10-15 minutes. The best thing on the plate was the refried beans. They were easily my favorite part of the meal. They were flavorful, creamy. The Spanish rice was also tasty. The pico de gallo was served over shredded lettuce, which was fine, although I would have preferred it on the side. The sour cream came in a small cup, which wasn't my favorite, i'm not sure if it was buttery sour cream, but it just didn't taste right. The guacamole might've been my second favorite thing on the plate.!! The steak quesadilla itself was good, but it didn't quite wow me like a quesadilla usually does. It was generously filled with steak, but I wish it had more cheese. I like my quesadillas to have a perfect balance of melted cheese and meat, and this one leaned much heavier on the steak. Even so, the steak had good flavor, and I still enjoyed the meal overall. The price was reasonable too. I believe everything came to just under $20, which felt like a good value. Before I left, they gave me a piece of candy with the receipt, which was a small but thoughtful touch that I appreciated. As I was walking out, I noticed they have different daily specials posted outside. I hadn't seen them before coming in, so now I definitely have another reason to come back and try something different. Overall, I had a great first experience. The friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, good value, and delicious refried beans made this an enjoyable visit. I'll definitely be back to check out those daily specials.
