I always feel silly reviewing a fast-food restaurant, but I made a commitment to review everywhere I check in: so here's to that!
I was in the plaza that this Applebees is located in, and we were set to watch a movie in the theatre behind Applebees. Therefore, it seemed like a reasonable place to eat given our time restraint, and situation.
We sat at the bar, and ordered the "2 for 20" deal. (My friend and I are both young professionals who are trying to save money for big plans in our future). In any case, we ordered the boneless chicken wings, blackened tilapia, and grilled chicken oriental salad.
Boneless chicken wings (3/5) – Not the best I've had, but also definitely not the worst I've had. I appreciate that the "chicken wing" is actually white breast meat, and that the breading on it is not too thick. I don't appreciate how much sauce is on them, but I tend to like very little sauce in my food.
Blackened tilapia (2/5) – It was actually pretty good fish. HOWEVER, if you're going to call it "BLACKENED tilapia"….it must live up to it's name. I've had blackened fish elsewhere, and it's usually close to black. The fish at this place looked more sautéed than anything else. It's served with decent potato wedges and veggies.
Service was a little slow for a fast-food restaurant, but hey.
Bottom line: A fast-food restaurant is a fast-food restaurant, so don't expect Michelin grade food. You pay for what you get in life. Feel free to stop by if you're in a rut, but don't go out of your way to swing by.
Okay, okay, okay…
I know, I know…
"OMG AMELIA YOU'RE AN ELITE AND YOU'RE REVIEWING AN APPLEBEE'S IN THE BRONX?! YOU MUST HAVE ZERO TASTE BUDS!"
But let's be real here. It was a Sunday night, I was hungry, my boyfriend was hungry, and the Jamaican restaurant we wanted to go to was closed so we begrudgingly had to get back on the bus. It was too late to go too far, nobody wanted the Chinese Buffet, Red Lobster smells funny, and I swear if I eat any more McDonald's I'm gonna puke… so what's left in the area? Applebee's.
I was actually surprised that the place was empty and relatively quiet. The hostesses were nice and we only had to wait about three minutes for a table. Our server, Terrell, was actually really funny and nice. To our surprise, they have half off drinks and appetizers during football games. Granted the drinks are kind of weak, but whatever… it's cheap and I'm not gonna argue.
The food is what you would expect, it's a step up from fast food but it's nothing gourmet. I would say it was an overall good time for a low key Sunday.
Brotip: They will put flavored syrups in almost any drink. A strawberry flavored Long Island Iced Tea? Weird. SO weird.
The drinks and food are mediocre. I'd rather spend my money somewhere else. Customer service needs improvements as well. It can get crowded very fast especially on the weekends. Parking is convenient.
I've been to this Applebee's a few times for early dinners and I've never had an issue. It's an Applebee's so I'm not expecting an amazing experience. I am, however, expecting decent service, and I've always had nice servers. As a matter of fact, the last time I went, I requested to have my cowboy burger without a bun and though the server had never heard of such a request, he made sure that I got it how I wanted it.
The drinks here are good, though the happy hour specials are only available at the bar. I've never had to wait too long for my food to come out, but admittedly, I try to visit before it gets too late and crowded with mall patrons. I know that once things get hectic the service can tend to slip, as evidenced by many of the other reviews. Overall I don't have any complaints about this location, and whenever I'm in the mall and looking for a simple, cheap meal and some drinks, Applebee's gets the job done.
Terrible service. Went here with friends after a movie and I really hope I never have to go back.
Forgotten drinks, meals, salad dressings… and overall long wait to order and to receive food.
Man, I should've read the reviews before coming to this place. This is by far, the worst Applebee's on the face of the earth.
The service had been the worst service out of any restaurant I have ever experienced. After waiting a really long time for our food, it came out out bland, room temperature, and stale. I had to ask for my own refill, my own forks, knives, and napkins. Ketchup was empty. No big deal the server just switched it with another table. Now they had an empty ketchup bottle. Oh and this place is a pig sty.
After eating only half of my disgusting meal, I waited and waited for the check. While I was waiting, we sat in our mountain of plates because no one ever cleared our table. The dishes from appetizers to our main course we're just sitting there. No one gives a shit in this place. I wanna fire everyone from the owner all the way down to the dishwasher.
Don't waste your time coming here. You'll get diarrhea if you do. lol
Was driving by and figured a quick bite- in and out…. Not quite. Friendly host staff who don't communicate = me suggesting to be seated or else! This happened after a server came to the host stand to say hello to friends and took menus to seat then first!!
Seated and waiting for a server to walk by- every server except mine- then she shows up. Not bad 12 minutes cause yes my timer is running boys and girls. Ordered simple dishes so there wouldn't be a reason for delay…. But there was a delay. It was buzzing- a busy lunch. Told server to bring apps WITH the food, condiments, drinks and the check. She got none of the above completed. And whispered " did you ask me for condoms"
Bathrooms were NASTY! toilet roll ON the floor
Food was bland- but hot! Manager came by- nice guy- Jose- acknowledged and apologized for series of mishaps I'm too tired to mention. I would PASS on this place if you're looking for a fast meal and good service. Maybe mcdonalds or checkers down the block, red robin? Or just go home and order Chinese takeout. They always get it right!
When you get your appetizers AND your entree before even getting your drinks, that's a problem.
Birthday girl wanted sangria, so we came here for sangria.
Sangria was not good. For all of that waiting, I was expecting the best sangria on the planet.
The server noticed that the sangria was taking too long she asked us if we wanted something else to drink & she would comp the sangria. (Still wondering where our water is since we never got any.)
That was a different story when the bill came. Server said we agreed to comp the soda not the sangria. Who the hell wants to comp soda, it's only like $2-3?!
The bartender came over & delivered it himself, which was nice I suppose.
Food was good, not complaints on that end.
Dessert on the other hand… My ice cream had freezer burn. There were chunks of ice in my ice cream. My ice cream melted because my cookie was hot & there was still chunks of ice floating in my ice cream soup.
Of course I wasn't expecting 5 star cuisine or dining, but come on.
