I went to this Applebee's a few times with my dad and the chicken wings are so good. It's in my top two favorite chicken wing places. You have to get the bone in and you have to get them extra crispy and they taste so good. I personally like the Asian sweet and spicy sauce. It has a pretty good kick, so be warned, but the sweetness balances it out, and it's just chefs kiss! I have tried both the alcoholic cocktails, and the virgin cocktails and both are very delicious and they have really good prices on alcohol so if you're looking for a good alcohol deal and good food to go along with it this is the place to go. The inside of the store is very family diner/restaurant vibes but that's the type of place it is so it's giving what it's presenting. read more

Everything about my visit was excellent. My server, Elizabeth, was the best...friendly, fun and truly on top of things. I complimented the manager on how well the team works together. My food was delicious, especially the pecan blondie. So glad I stopped in for a meal. It was a great experience; I cant wait to go back. read more

We had the two for $25. Special. It was very good. The service was on par with most others. The restaurant was like all other Applebees.

This second go-around I brought my mother here for Mothers Day. Why? Cause when I asked her all she could talk about was out last experience there. Because we did not make a reservation - not even sure we could. When we got there at 4pm - there was literally no wait. We walked in. Were greeted. And sat. Tiffany - was our server. She was very pleasant. We ordered Mango Margaritas which mom thought didn't have any tequila. They were delicious! But, if you get one order a Grand Marnier floater or an extra shot of tequila. I ordered the appetizer Pretzel breads w/ the cheese dip as it was delicious out first time. Seems they are ALWAYS delicious! And the Honey Mustard that comes with it is also very good. We both decided on the Cajun Salmon w Broccoli & Mashed Potatoes but Mom can't eat anything spicy so I got her just salt & pepper. I always get a side order of grilled Salmon w/ Garlic Broccoli & Mashed Potatoes w/ a side order of grilled onions. Mom's salmon dinner came out first with the order of breadsticks. I asked about MY salmon and turns out the server forgot to order it. I wasn't too perturbed because mom was digging the grub. I had asked for some extra garlic for the broccoli so she was pleased. When I finally got the salmon - it was amazing!! TRULY AMAZING! No grilled onions. ??? Turns out the server forgot to order them as well. The the grilled onions came to the table when I was almost done with the meal. If they weren't so delicious I would've been bummed. But, amazing!! The kitchen was on point! Sooo glad we went there again. Although the server forgot one entree the manager was quick to correct the situation. She was truly very nice. I'm always understanding because why get ridiculous or even obnoxious when the food will eventually hit the table. My mother LOVED the salmon and everything that came with it. Funny thing - mom got brain-freeze from the margarita but that didn't discourage her from continuing to drink it. It is delicious! There was steady business for Mother's Day. And the kitchen ROCKED IT!! KUDOS TO THE KITCHEN STAFF!! As a chef this place always makes me smile because everyone seems to want to do their best. The host and hostess were on top of their game and were constantly doing something. No down time for them. The manager was incredibly generous and polite. We ordered two desserts that were taken care of for us. Not expected but greatly appreciated. I will be going back many more times. I forgot to mention that the ambience was excellent. The music was great. Thanks for making my mom's Mothers Day a great one. At 86 years old - we never know how many are left. read more

Gabby was the best server ever. She was very funny and told me what to order and she was right because it was amazing. 11/10 server

IF i could, I would leave a zero star review for this waitress. My friend group and I went out for half apps tonight. Our server Kaiti/ Kaitlyn... She's a hoot. When we first sat, she was friendly. She asked our drink order, got our food order in the same mouthful, then left. She came back with our drinks and then disappeared. We got our food served by other waiters/waitresses, and had to discuss missing orders with a different server. Not a problem. What I think is a problem ,though,is her attitude. After one of us paid with cash, they did not leave a tip on paper as they were planning to leave a cash tip. She came back after she saw the slip had $0 on it, and said "you know its kind to tip your waitress". OKAY FIRST OF ALL, she did NOT let the person finish paying. After she came back with her poor ass attitude everyone else decided they were not tipping. (I was in the car at this time, I did not know nobody tipped) but that lady didn't deserve one after her nasty attitude. Once we left and got settled, I called to leave a review/ talk to a manager. A lady named Sharee answered and claimed herself as a manager after thinking about it for a long hard minute. I have faith that home girl was lying. She said Kaitlyn will be dealt with and that she's sorry. After asking who was calling and why I needed a manager. I do not recommend service from Kaitlyn or Sharee as they seem to be apparently close and attitude throwers. read more

We came for a late lunch. Nice clean and cozy atmosphere, booth was comfortable. Our server Laura was friendly, helpful and attentive. We both selected the grilled cheese cheeseburger and Laura pointed out it was one of the two for $25 which included (delicious) basil tomato soup and french fries. We chose the (included) appetizer spinach & artichoke dip. Yummy! Food was served in a timely fashion. Portions were very generous. Took half our sandwiches home. Highly recommend the grilled cheese cheeseburger!! It is very flavorful with a savory sauce. If you haven't been to Applebee's in awhile, I highly recommend it! We will be back to try another one of their many appetizers and main dishes. read more

We came here after going to 2 other places that were an hour wait. My husband wanted a steak and this wasn't his first choice of restaurants. We did have to wait 15 minutes to get a table but the staff was friendly and welcoming. My husband got the Parmesan shrimp sirloin and I got the Tex mex shrimp bowl. We both loved our meals. My husband's steak was cooked exactly how he asked and it was very flavorful. My shrimp bowl was delicious. The restaurant itself was a little rundown but our server and the food more than made up for it. We liked how the wait staff helped each other out- it looked like whoever was in the kitchen at the time a meal came up, they brought it out- even if it wasn't for their table. An all around great experience. read more

Stopped here for dinner. Food was okay. I ordered the 8oz Sirloin Steak - medium. It was a little thin, so I guess asking for medium was a little bit of a stretch. Came well done. It was okay. Our waiter was very energetic, but it ended there. His service was a little weak. Food took forever to arrive and then waiting for the bill - good God. Probably won't be back. read more

Failure from the start. Waited at host stand for 10 minutes. Sat in bar area where we weren't even acknowledged. Walked out after another 15 minutes. 25 minutes my wife and I will never get back. Will not be going back anytime soon. read more

Honestly if I could give a 0 stars I would. The service is awful, management is a mess, and the food arrived late and cold. I saw an employee get yelled at by what looked like to be the manager, a man with short hair but could also be a woman, I'm not sure. Anyways, it is safe to say I will not be returning here any time soon. read more

I went in there on Wednesday to order the chicken shrimp dinner whatever it was and they brought out the wrong meal so I went back today on Saturday and asked for the bar area. They had maybe 20 people in the restaurant and she told me they were an hour behind. I had nowhere for me to sit this place is literally terrible. read more

I'm surprised I'm here giving Applebee's a 5 star review. We got the spinach and artichoke dip, quesadilla burger, chicken wrap, and bacon mac and cheese. All of it was excellent and we had leftovers too. Can't beat $1 drinks either. All of that for under $30. Was it the best meal of my entire life? No. But was it a great deal for the quality? Absolutely. Our server, Kyle, was excellent. Prompt service & a great storyteller. Kyle, we hope you get good tips forever!! read more

BUT THE FOOD. worth every penny. i got the quesadilla burger. oh my gosh. Every bite was mouth watering. and gotta love the free refills. read more

MIXED BAG REVIEW :) Atmosphere...Sat night at 10pm I sadly found our other go to food choices were closed, visiting home from MD I never thought I'd end up here, but it was open late and had half price apps so yup, "we'll take a booth". The hostess was probably having a rough night, she looked defeated. Poor WB Applebees bringing her down. The place wasn't crowded, service was fast, and waiter had a positive friendly attitude....atmosphere gets a 4. Menu: half price apps and cheap pints. Menu gets a 4 (not a 5 bc from the listed calories everything is unhealthy) Food: Arriving pretty quickly the food looked yummy, but it gets a 2. The wings had too much sauce, the pretzels were very buttery, same with the broccoli. And my burger was disgustingly salty. I actually had to send it back. Waiter: He gets a 5. I told him I didn't want the burger remade bc I was going to split food already at the table and maybe just get some more side broccoli. He took my burger off the bill brought me free pretzels to say sorry. I mean overall I won't end up back here because I didn't enjoy the food but it wasn't a totally awful experience read more

No star's at all. . . My husband has been wrongfully fired December 2, 2024 Monday... and it's a terrible shame with the experience he has in the kitchen. I feel the training period was fast tracked and he was not given the opportunity to even begin to learn the layout of the kitchen or the opportunity to work through the probationary period every job in my experience has. We have a daughter and bill's that continue to pile up with Christmas only about three weeks away I am sitting here in tears not knowing what to do for my family. My husband told me that He was told by the manager Tonight who singled him out from the kitchen work area to one of the restaurant tables where she told him that there was an online complaint from yelp that made a poor comment of a burger he made. None of it sounds like it was handled correctly or professionally. He should not have been fired just starting and getting to the newer screen technology that Applebee's uses in their kitchen fore the past job's my husband has had every kitchen has it's own system and routine to be learned. I'm searching the internet myself for any recent reviews from the time my husband has been part of the team at Applebee's and I have yet to see anything yet. My review is the most recent one aside from six months ago read more

Everything was good food wise, just seems like y'all need more help. First drink order was almost right, but the waiter seemed like he had to help every other server, so we felt neglected! read more

I went here about a month ago and I ordered a burger I have been waiting for and thought about ever since our decision to go here. but the service was horrible and we waited about 30 minutes for 1 beverage and a blue lemonade drink. the ambiance was alright but come to find out when I got my burger back it had human hair on it. this left me leaving apple bees hungry and I felt that was unright and downright unappetizing. read more

Stopped here for lunch after a softball tournament and our waitress was great. She was friendly and took her time while we needed more time to look at the menu. The restaurant was clean although the bathrooms needed some tending to. The menu was extremely affordable as it offered different varieties of specials from meals 2 for $20 or appetizers from 2 to $10.49 or you could even add on. I ordered from the 2 for $10.49 appetizer menu and got french onion soup with a Caesar salad. My daughter ordered from the same special and got french onion soup and wonton tacos. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a Caesar salad instead of fries. Food came out in a decent amount of time. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burger as did my daughter her meal. The french onion soup was really good! When it came to my Caesar salad, it lacked enough dressing as well as they just threw chunks of yellowing lettuce on the plate...I left a lot of the salad on the plate and just focused on the french onion soup. Overall I would definitely stop again as it wasn't that bad and had good service! read more

Last time I ate here I got a steak. I didn't eat it at all. I am shocked a chef would have even have made a steak like that. Was cooked right but the entire steak was a giant piece of fat. No meat. Got wings, they were good but almost tasted like they were sitting out a while. read more

I am having a great time at this abblebee bar and grill bar tonight. I got the 1/4 price appertozer as the chicken wontang tacos and I got a soup and my golly!

You ever wear shorts (after you swear the groom said it was fine to) to a fancy rehearsal dinner, feel very out of place because of it, then (again totally not your fault) have wine get spilled on your shorts? And then cuz you'd had a few and maybe pregamed the rehearsal dinner aren't really sure what to do? So you kind of skedaddle away but you're not good at skedaddling and you never been and probably never will be (cuz of your physique). So you do make (and I mean make) an exit and find the restroom to attempt to clean yourself up, but realize you are helpless and need waitstaff intervention? WELL ENTER EDDY, MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR. Eddy came over, provided some nicer cleaning tools from the kitchen, some bubbly water, and helped mitigate what would have ABSOLUTELY RUINED THE REHEARSAL DINNER and instead made it only a side show? The rest of the night was uneventful. I was in the hospital a week later (unrelated). read more

My family and I went to dinner tonight and an amazing couple came to our table to tell us how beautiful my daughter and grand babies were. We thanked them and wished them a goodnight. Soon after our server came over and said the couple paid for our entire meal before they left. I wish I could have thanked them. I cannot express how greatful we are. read more

Whoever the bartender was on Tuesday night, 9/13, should be recognized. I sat at the bar where there was only one other person and this bartender was absolutely incredible. She was kind, personable, and just a fantastic human being. We got talking for a while and she was so sweet, and even talked me into getting a pretzel and another beer. She made the company more money than I was intending to spend, and she made a lasting impression on me. I am traveling from out of town, and she made a very bad day I had at work a little bit better with her personality. Highly recommended and I will be back at this location anytime I am in PA. The receipt has the name "ANNAROSE D" on it. Truly exceptional. read more

We went on a Saturday evening around 6:30 after having been turned down at another restaurant. We received a warm greeting and were seated promptly. Our server was Chris, who was exceptional!

Applebee's Grill + Bar - Delicious salmon - American Near Me - Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

I should have trusted my intuition upon arriving and seeing the condition of this establishment and just turned around. The table was disgustingly sticky and the floors were teeming with broken chips and crumbs. Lack of cleanliness is a huge red flag in the food service industry. Once our server arrives we proceed to order our entire meal- drinks, appetizer, soups, and entrees. A runner starts by bringing out the soups. My French onion soup was the worst soup I have ever had. It was very oily and had a mysterious little chunk of meat in it. Within 15 minutes the runner returns with a cold appetizer. The potato twisters were clearly under-cooked. Some of the twisters looked like raw spiral cut potatoes. Due to the dip being cold and the twisters being under-cooked the appetizer was a disappointment. At this point we have been there for a little over 20 minutes and we have yet to receive our drinks or plates for our appetizer. We mention this to a server/hostess who is passing by our table, which led to our server returning with drinks and stating "here are some more drinks". To which I replied, "No, we never received our drinks to begin with". At this point I was ready to leave, but unfortunately I was not alone and I could not be so brash. It was apparent, this establishment did not appreciate my patronage. Finally, the entree arrives. And to little or no surprise it appeared that my quesadilla burger was sitting under there heating lamp waiting for a runner for too long. The underside of the quesadilla burger was saturated with grease. I have ordered this menu item enough over the years that I know if it is brought out hot and fresh from the kitchen the tortilla is not greasy. At no point in time did anyone from the Applebee's staff acknowledge a shortcoming in their service or did anyone even ask how is everything tonight, which is strange. Typically, a manager is making their rounds to the tables ensuring that all guests are receiving great service. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Applebee's anytime soon, and when I do decide to return to an Applebee's it definitely will not be the one in WB. As a matter of fact, the Applebee's in WB has lost my business after this poor experience. read more

Worst meal I have had in a long time. Chains are generally bad but this was beyond that. It was surprisingly busy but that may have been because of the half priced appetizers or karaoke. We split 3 things. Carne asada nachos. They were terrible. More chips and lettuce than the ratty looking meat they call steak. Bland and disgusting. Next were the boneless wings. Can't go wrong, right? Wrong. Complete frozen, over breaded, over cooked, Tyson you could buy in Walmart boneless chicken. The last thing was the cowboy burger. This was surprisingly good. Still a chain burger but not bad. We both enjoyed that but there are too many good burger places to come back just for that. Service was also terrible. We won't be back anytime soon. Feel bad for chain workers because corporate sets the food standards, but it is still awful, low quality food that no one should Digest regularly. read more

Would not recommend. Our burger didn't taste like it was seasoned at all and the cheese was barely melted. My "four cheese mac and cheese" was penne with what looked like very runny Alfredo sauce, and barely enough to cover the pasta at that. read more
