Applebees grill bar in other cities:
The waitress was new and did a great job at trying to keep me happy. However, my steak was overcooked. I had to wait 15 minutes for a new one. When it came, the rest of my food was cold. I thought the steak lacked seasoning. I did like the promotion of a dozen fried shrimp added to the steak for a dollar.
The food was very good. It took a long time to get served. The place was very busy but there were only three servers working. They were doing the best they could. It seems everyone is hiring but nobody wants to work. We still had a good time even though we were there one and a half hours.
I ordered the 8oz steak and 1/2 rack of baby back ribs! Steak was cooked to perfection! Ribs were fall of the bone! Service was prompt and courteous. The desert: Tripple chocolate cake was exquisite❗ Great location, with plenty of parking! The Tripple bacon burger was outstanding also ❗
I had the new steak and penne with sundried tomatoes and mushrooms, I thought the steak would be steaks strips it was steak ums and overall was very salty, I ordered a side of blackened shrimp which was also over salted, i had to add a side of plane brocolli to suck up salt and that didnt even help much, when I mentioned it to server instead of offering a recook or some kind of solution she said, yea the penne runs salty, Ive never known any pasta to have the pockets of salt that food had, she also asked if I was ready for check then didnt return for 20 min
So I attended this fine establishment and my server did not recommend a pomegranate Margarita or a featured brewtus and requested to get a free one as this ad shows and the waiter I had was extremely rude when I requested to receive the free drink. She claimed they have until we get our check to offer it to us. Which totally doesnt make sense cause why am I consuming a beverage when Im trying to go home? In addition, no where in the ad at the table does it mention that condition. It says some exclusions apply but had no mention of said exclusions. false advertising at its finest!
I went here today with a friend and ordered honey pepper chicken with the mac and cheese. I was given 2 and a half piece of chicken which didnt taste good and I was told it comes pre packaged well if it comes pre packaged then the customer should be given the 3 pieces of chicken as advertised on their menu. I asked to speak to a manager and got another piece of chicken tender which was burnt and the bread that I got with my pasta was hard I couldnt even bite down on it. The waitress had an attitude when I told her there wasnt enough chicken for my food. Overall a bad experience I will not be coming here again.
Server was nice, but the price of food...good lord!! Seven dollars for Cheese Sticks. Eight dollars for Onion Rings. Steak was ok, if it was 8 ounces, and the mashed potatoes where scooped up with an ice cream scoop, which kind of reminded me of the horrors of high school. After dinner, i was looked at strangely in the parking lot by other patrons, because i was talking to my quivering wallet trying to explain to it why it had to give up three crisp 20 dollar bills for such little food. I was broke and my date was over, money blown on cheese sticks and onion rings :(
Came here with minimal expectations (do to previous experiences with other Applebees locations), but was pleasantly surprised. We got the 2 for $20 deal and the appetizer was mozzarella sticks. We actually got eight (8) sticks, which was more than I expected for a combo meal. they were tasty too! For my platter I got a cheeseburger and fries. I ordered the burger medium rare and was told they do some pink or no pink, but it was pretty rare. Still, I dont mind rare and it was juicy, so I ate it and didnt complain. My guest was not impressed with it, but her meal was good for her. We didnt order dessert so I cant comment on that. Service was pretty good.
Burger was hot,juicy and fresh. Fries were ice cold. Buffalo boneless chicken was great. My daughter ordered the honey pepper chicken and it had a chunk of plastic in it, we let Brian our server know and he was polite and brought it back to get her fresh, the manager came out and apologized, fixed her a new plate of food and took it off the bill.
Great food and even better service for a Friday night. Wife and I ordered burgers. I wanted mine rare, she likes hers well done. Both came out rare. The waitress Katie, suggested we send my wifes back and have it cooked right. We did, the manager was apologetic, brought out my wifes new burger, then came back to make sure it was right. Katie cant back to make sure it was right. We would go here again.
The host there was really genuine and seemed to love his job. His name was Nick and he displayed eye contact and was passionate and started conversation on the way to our seats. The host opened the door on our way in and out.. I never knew people did this anymore! My kids loved it as well as I.I Recommend this place to anyone who isnt looking to spend a lot but wants quality food.
Decent place to go for appetizers. Full disclosure, I worked here years ago and I was surprised by the disdain they have for customers. The chatter in the kitchen would make Gordon Ramsey blush. That aside, I never witnessed any mishandling of food or revenge prep. Bottom line, though, its a chain and the food is just okay. PS if you want a steak go to Texas Roadhouse in Henrietta
There were two hostesses, a line at the door when we arrived, we asked the people ahead of us if they were all set and they said yes so we politely waited to be greeted or seated but instead two separate families stepped up to the hostess and gave their names even though they arrived after us. I thought that was odd, as whats the point of a hostess exactly? No less two of them. One stood behind a wooden podium bossing the other where to seat people. Eventually we approached her and gave our name. I was always taught to wait patiently for your host to greet and host you. I worked 17 years in restaurant management and serving. That was odd and disappointing as my host had to always make eye contact and greet immediately even if a long wait due to being busy. The hostess that seated us was very friendly, our server very friendly. Excellent food, server was great but felt bad for him since he had to order bar drinks and bartender was slow.
I got the ribs. They were decent but just not as much meat on them as I would have liked. Good staff, not too busy. They all wear masks or a protective face shield. Friendly environment bar was open. More people were seated at the bar than anywhere else. I was NOT a fan of the new 4 cheese mac and cheese with bacon. The pasta they used was penne and didnt go with traditional macaroni and cheese taste. They called it four cheese but I couldnt even tell it had any cheese in it by the way it tasted. Fries werent crispy. The hostess and waitress were on their game otherwise it wouldnt have even been a three star experience. You go out to eat to have good, tastey food not just a good atmosphere.
Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. Was seated quickly, which should have been a tip off. Twelve minutes later our waiter showed up. Wanted to try the new two meat combos but they wouldnt mix and match, and the sides were also fixed. And the $12.99 promo price? You guessed it, only one choice. Saw our waiter once during the meal, and again 15 minutes after my tea was empty. At that time he called up the receipt on the Ziosk and walked away. Spent five minutes talking to the girls at the table behind us. Wont be eating here any more.
Our server was real nice and was the best part of the meal I ordered a 10 ounce stake when It got to the table it looked like 4 to 6 ouncesWe always eat at the local dinner in Newark canal view dinner a 10 ounces at the dinner was 3 times the size and a 100 times betterWhen you got out to eat you want great food great service and great atmosphere applebees dont have it aA little mom and pop style dinner has itcanal view if your in Newark new York do stop in
Actually, I was a bit surprised their new menu has upped their game. I had a burger that came as I asked for it medium and juicy. A companion had a new Philly style sandwich that looked and according to her tasted great. French fries could have spent a bit more time in the fryer but were hot when served. All in all an improvement.
Joined a group of friends for a lunch out to give this place another chance, and was yet again sorely disappointed. Ordered a brunch burger rare/mid rare with a soft cooked egg. Got a dry, thoroughly brown plank of burnt beef and an egg you could strike a match on. Waitress didnt check up on our table until it was time to drop the check, so I wasnt even able to order another lunch before having to leave. Left hungry and unhappy. Needless to say, wont be going back. Save yourself money, time, and frustration and go somewhere else.
Food was good. We had a 1 year old with us and the waitress kept putting things in front of the baby. They should train their staff to not set any food in front of the kids. We had to move our drinks several times as well as soup so the baby didnt grab at it and knock it over.
Applebees has adjusted their menu, once again.Potato options include:French fries,Garlic Smashed, or upgrade toLoaded Garlic Smashed.(Or the Spanish Rice it plain White Rice.)Roasted Red Potatoes and even the venerable Baked Potato have been banished from their fare.If you try to eat a little healthier, a little less salt, oh, well.They got rid of sweet potato fries awhile back, as well as their pork chops and other special dinners.When I checked in on Yelp tonight, it reminded me that I was the Duke of this Applebees.Its a distinction I will likely lose since we can no longer get potatoes we like to go with our meals.They also removed the Bourbon St. 8oz Steak with one side from their 2/$29 options.The manager wanted to help us any way he could, but he was out of options.In the plus side for the kitchen: fewer options mean they will have an easier time filling orders.We were flummoxed; we asked for it drink check and left.
Its Applebees, you get what you pay for i guess. We have never really walked out of this restaurant fully satisfied. Its always something. We love to grab the boneless chicken wings with both a side of ranch and blue cheese and they literally always forget the sides. Usually our waitresses are hiding for the most part of our dinners or they sit at the bar talking or on their phones. The food ehh.. i mean its your typical frozen chain food. Steaks are always very tough. But hey you cant expect perfection from a place like this. As long as you dont mind long waits for your food or drinks this is a decent place.
I came here with my boyfriend and some friends and we had a great time just sitting at the bar talking and having a few drinks. The bartender was amazing and super attentive. We didnt order any food but we do come here a lot so Im sure we will at some point.Its just a fun, chill place to hang out with some friends.
I can say I was totally disappointed. Started out with a 20 minute wait for waitress to take drinks order. All the silverware was filthy. She said they were having dish machine problems. That was an understatement. Drinks came out. Their drinks were all mixed, no alcohol. Appetizers came out cold and over cooked. Second set of driving is were as bad as first. Main entrees came out. My ribeye sandwich came out poorly assembled, fries were ice cold. Wifes chicken and shrimp dish was BAD! Chicken over cooked and tuff. The four shrimp were not the shrimp in the picture. Half the size. And the white garlic sauce was missing. My sons taco queso dish had chips come our that tasted rancid. Best guess is their fryer shortening hasnt been changed in several weeks. I will never go back.
Tonight there was a new girl starting and she was nervous but she did great despite the anxiety …just trying to be as successful as this world will let us be in hard times I hope that helps with your troubles her names ALLY @ fairport perington Applebee’s started today I’m glad you served the drinks cold and the food fast ! Thank you

First off the wait on a Saturday Night was not bad at all. We went in and got our seats within 2 minutes. The waitors are very nice and give you time to order. The Menu is easy to look through with differing sections for different foods. I got a burger which was absolutely delicious. Overall Applebees is a great restaurant to eat at!
The service at the Fairport (Route 250 & 31) was OUTSTANDING! The menu offer a great selection. The 2 for $20 offered fantastic choices. And we were allow to choose other items to match our taste in the 2 for $30 section. Our waitress was VERY attentive to our needs, our beverages were kept full. The food was presented very well. And it was without a doubt hot, right off the grill. This location definitely deserves 5 STARS! Great job APPLEBEES,
Given dirty plates to eat on. Bartender was annoyed when kindly asked for clean dishes.. Inattentive and blatantly rude bartenders who don’t even know the drinks on the menu. Loudly said rude things about customers. Grime and dirt on almost ever surface other than tables. Looks as though it hasn’t been dusted or sanitized in at least a year. There are other Applebee’s out there. Don’t go to this one
We were a family of 7 tonight. Grandpa & Grandma wanted an outing with us. Not sure if our waitress had too big of an assignment, or what, but we spent a LONG time waiting for her to return to our table any time she left. My husband eventually got up and hunted down a bottle of ketchup because his food was getting cold while waiting for it. 2 appetizers came out and were consumed, but the 3rd was missing and we sat waiting for it. Before we left we heard screaming from a male in the kitchen. Something about french fries and kept dropping the F-bomb for my 3 children to hear. We could hear him continue to yell as we walked to the door, and heard more F-bombs as we walked out the door. Otherwise, it was typical Abblebees food.
Cant find how to post a new review.Ordered take out tonight 6/16/2020 from Mosley Rd Fairport because I had a bad day at work and didnt want to cook. Ordered the pretzels for an appitezer they were cold. There was hardly any blue moon cheese dip and it was also cold. Ordered theFrench dipper that was also cold along with the fries that came with it. Also got the 3 cheese chicken pene it was cold along with an extra order of fries cold too. .I arrived 5 mins ahead of pick up time and no one came out till 8 mins later.
Small location, customer service not good. Only told about the weekly beer special, not the Montly beer special. Came here for a Stella, no longer on tap.No discussion of the all you can eat specials without asking specifically. A little disappointed when compared to other Applebee experiences.
Your late night grubhub delivery driver is A+. Friendly guy, always on time, and food is like it just came out of the kitchen. Give that man a raise. Representing applebees very well. Next time Ill place my order over the phone so I can make sure if hes the driver, so I know to tip extra!
Ordered food to go Small servings ( would have gotten more if we sat there and ate in my opinion) food was cold and tasted like it was sitting around for awhile Not impressed with 1st time experience with this particular location. However, Zoe , who took my order over the phone was very kind though
Ordered a medium well steak with mashed potatoes and fries because I already knew their veggies are bland. I received a medium rare steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli. They took it back and then gave me a medium well steak with fries and broccoli. Everything was bland. Wont be back. yuck!
Sometimes it’s fine, like when it’s 1 or 2 people, but when our whole family comes in, we turn into a kind of spectacle and out wait staff person doesn’t really get what a family of SEVEN, mostly kids, requires at dinner time, so we are always have to pull the, “wave our hand—-excuse me—can you come help us please”, like every 5 minutes.The food.... it’s APPLEBEES.... when you don’t feel like driving far or cleaning up your own kitchen after dinner, or just don’t have anything to feed the brood, it’s sufficient enough.
You just lost a great customer. After 25 plus years ! First came ceaser saled w/ iceberg lettuce Wrong. Chicken with a ice cream cup of butter Wrong . What about the sodium . Blood pressure, heart attack. Then you wouldnt accept PAID for expired gift card. Do the math , you just lost a COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I
This salad it didnt look like the picture in the menu I asked for more dressing it took the waitress a while to bring it the meet didnt look, like 4 ounces it was tough, my friend ask for more coffee it took the waitress a while to bring the coffee back and it wasnt even busy ,dont know when Ill be back

2022-03-10DONT DO IT! I ordered Mac and cheese with hot honey chicken. It was gross. Macaroni was bland, worse than kraft Mac and cheese. The chicken had to born in 1968. Stringy, dry and OLD. No maam. I know AB isnt amazing but this is beyond awful. I ended up letting my dogs eat it and they didnt even fight over it.

2022-03-26Went in here with low expectations. I figured “oh yeah let’s go to Applebees for the meme”. Boy was I surprised. The food was great and our server was nice. They were very cool about us bringing in 50 theater kids

2022-01-29First time visiting Applebees in many years. Service was good, food was alright. Upon delivering drinks I noticed a dead fly in one of the drinks. The waitress apologized many times and replaced the drink and stated the drink would be removed from the bill. When we got the bill and saw the drink was still included, she said they removed the charge for the original drink not for the replacement. So glad we didnt get charged for a drink with a dead fly in it. Applebees used to be a decent meal, but not anymore. We will not be back.

2022-05-12Loud conversation by employees happening at the bar area. Inappropriate topic regarding undesirable job. My dinner appeared to be the bottom of the bag of chicken fingers as they were all very tiny compared to other times that I have ordered the same meal. Service was good. Server was polite and attentive.

2022-04-15Service lately is horrible ever where. Our waitress never told us the drink specials. Didnt bring all of our food, had to ask for the sauce that came with our sandwich. The roll wasnt fresh, crumbled with the first bite. Just not worth spending hard earned money with mediocre food and Service.

2022-06-06We were there a month ago the food was good but our waitress was terrible. We tried it again and sadly got the same waitress. She didnt check on us and let our glasses sit empty The bartender brought us our food. She only had one other table. When my husband mentioned her lack of service to her she went to the back and started screaming so loud the entire restaurant could hear her. We wont be back.

2021-02-16The kids love ordering the corn dogs. I usually get the bourbon chicken with shrimp. Dont forget the mozzarella sticks.

2022-02-22Taco shells were overcooked or fryer needs changing. Beer cheese was soupy not cheese. And pretzels barely salted. Service at bar was good.
