This place is so great. I’ve had some issues with other Applebees in the past, but NEVER this location. My partner and I have been coming to this one for quite a while and have become regulars here. We usually come for halfapps and bring a board game to play, bring an ipad to watch a show, or just study. We have had zero issues with the staff and food. Everyone here is so kind to us, I wish I knew everyones names! Bryant, James, Ally, Nico, Bryan, Maddy, Kaylee, Hannah, and everyone is so amazing. Some of the waiters have even started to remember our orders loll. I’ve come here definitely over 50 times, and not once has our food been messed up. The cooks in the back are wonderful. Food comes out insanely fast too. Usually takes about 8-15 minutes!! Even when it’s super busy, the staff is so kind. Once when they had a full house, James was our waiter and was so fast! He had to deal with annoying people who sat themselves and were being rude to him, but his attitude and response was amazing! Please tip your waiters!! These guys are amazing and deserve the world. Thank you to the amazing staff who are always so welcoming and kind to my partner and I. We love you guys! EDIT: I want to add Nikki on here! I used to mainly go at night so I wouldn’t see her, but I love coming here and seeing Nikki. She always is wearing flashy jewelry and is the kindest hearted person ever. Love seeing her 🙂 Also Jade and Katie (newer staff I think) are very delightful too. Jade has been so kind and speedy with my food <3
Matt the General Manager Absolutely the Best. Kitchen Manager delivered my food, I don’t like Guacamole or Sour Cream so had it taken off but look at these delicious Chicken Nachos!!!!!
Great experience Joy as a great bartender and Nikki as a server.. Awesome duo.. come in and see for yourself. Also 2 large screen TV’s. Phil also great evening bartender. Otherwise i would stay away from the place.
More expensive than you remembered, but still the same quality. The 2 for $20 is long dead. The Applebees still have plenty of TVs to watch sporting events and shows. Their saving grace is happy hour for the half price apps and cheap drinks. A great place to meet up for a quick late night bite.
Sunday night, Mgr. Greeted us at the door, Sage took our order right away!!! We were surprised by happy hour prices and shared 3 appetizers that were hot and very good tasting! Chicken Wonton Tacos, were our favorite! Boneless wings were 8 to a plate! Chicken Quesadilla were filling. Sage checked on us multiple times & was a wonderful server! Kind and efficient.
All i can say is – WOW! James – you made our experience the best we could have ever asked for. We didn’t come here expecting much But your sweet character and attention to detail in our order showed us so much difference. The food was the best we’ve ever had at an applebees! Thank you chef, and James!! Thank you for making our experience truly unforgettable. We will be back just for you! Truly. It’s the little things. Thank you, James!
Our server, Madeline, was FANTASTIC!! Very friendly and attentive. She clearly is a seasoned server who knows the ropes considering she has one of the best brands of pens. Robert, the manager was very present and interactive with the guests. He also appeared very respectful towards his staff! The customer service always makes an ‘average’ place ‘exceptional’!
Thom and rober have been absolutely wonderful. Super friendly and prompt with service. Loved exchanging stories and the overall experience. Thanks. Have. Good one.
