  1. First time here and I have not been to an applebees in about 8 years. Very, very disappointing! Every entree tasted like a warmed up frozen meal. The service was good therefore I feel bad leaving such a review but the food was bland and just lukewarm. Even the kids meal was bad.

    I will not be returning.

  2. If this could get negative stars, I would give negative stars. I try and try again to at least like this place, but it just always disappoints. Okay, before I go on with this, I am not hard to please (I easily give 4-5 stars). Just give me a drink and put in the food order and we will be best friends. I work in the same industry and I totally understand we get busy with other tables, but to go around a table and making it obvious you don't wanna take us is just rude, especially if we have to wait 10-15 minutes just to get greeted. Just say "Give me one second and I will be with you" is enough for me to know you acknowledged my presence. Every time I attempt and give a chance to this place, my boyfriend puts a timer on and it seriously takes us 10-15 minutes to get greeted.

    That is not the worst thing yet. So I come in with friends and have more on their way. We get sat quick, but takes forever for a server to greet us. So the rest of our friends come in 30 minutes before closing. The host greeted them by saying, "you know we are closing in 30 minutes right." And my friends were puzzled and said we"ll make it quick. I honestly felt bad that the rest came so late and the kitchen was about to close and the restaurant was about to close and we were still there. I ACTUALLY FELT BAD AT FIRST. But after the host came to our table and said "well if you plan on ordering food, you have to go to the bar and order..and you gotta make it quick." I was shocked. If I were to say that to a guest, I would've gotten fired on the spot. I felt disrespected. So fine we go to the bar to join our friends that ordered food. I was just so heated that I asked for a manager. Well, that was a mistake. I talked to him and it was not going anywhere. He even said "but I don't understand how hard it is for you to get up from your table to the bar and just order." I was even more shocked. Like I just lost respect for this place. I told him if he wanted to say sorry at least act like you mean it and he's just like, "but I don't know what else you want me to say..I am saying sorry!"  I decided to leave, and my friends that stayed to wait for their food said that they heard that manager talking crap about the situation amongst the employees. Who knows.

    If you want to go to a good spot, go to the Applebee's in Paramus (I do get busy servers, but I absolutely love that one 10000000000x more! Service is better, and managers are great. They actually know how to approach guests. I have been to the one in Garfield once, and I got good service too (could have been because our server was the boyfriend of a friend, but regardless, everyone in that Applebee's were so much better).

    Drink tip: And if you're there too, never get a margarita here. They just taste like pure sour (could be due to their company recipe). But the white peach sangria never disappoints! 5stars to the sangria!

  3. The person who sat us just was not in the mood. He sounded as if all life was taken out of him that day. Service was alright. The food was what you'd expect from an Applebee's. Now they have tablets at the tables in the bar area where you can grab your server's attention or add to your order. You can also pay there, which makes it easier.
    It's alright, not great, but it's alright.

  4. Stopping in here the other day before work to pick up a oriental chicken salad and honey bbq boneless wings from car side to go.  I placed the order about 10 mins before arriving and the woman over the phone was a pleasure to deal with. Bubbly personality that brightened my mood. I pulled up to car side to go and after just a few mins someone came outside with my salad and wings just as I ordered them, I paid the lady and was on my way. Quick and simple. Great car side to go service!

  5. I guess the waiter was new…. People after us got their appetizers before us. The food was bland (I got the shrimp and broccoli cavatappi). The potsticker appetizer was cooked extremely dry. But I guess, what do you expect at a food chain? You get what you pay for. I guess I will stick to the usual quesadilla burger next time… How can you go wrong with that? I'll order Chinese in next time instead of a late night food run.

  6. Applebee's help support various fund raisers by doing pancake breakfasts just like my god son's boyscotts.  They open and cook the pancakes from 08:00 to 10:00 today.  The $10.00 ticket is worth it for charity and I will support all Applebee's for their kind support for neighborhood.  Food, quality and service has always been good and you do get your money's worth.  A good place to grab a bite, a drink or two and you always feel welcome.

  7. Only ordered to-go once. Staff that  brought it out was friendly. The Fiesta Chopped Chicken Salad (the only thing I get from here) was also fine too.

  8. I mean what can I say its Applebee's so its sub par food for a decent price.  There is nothing you can get here that you couldn't spend a little more and go to a speciality place for.  Wait staff is always good besides that its just normal Applebee's
