Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Went here for dinner with the family. Always a good option for decent food and to allow the kids to get a bit loud without bothering too many people. During this visit we had to wait 15 min for a table. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since it was a Friday night but I saw at least 4 free fully cleared tables just sitting there. Why the wait??? Once seated the experience was much better. Our server was fantastic , really efficient and made a great recommendation to try the hot bacon dressing with our salads. Um...yum! We also tried the potstickers whuch were much more delicious than I was expecting from a chain. My husband and I had steaks while the kids had burgers. Everything was acceptable and hot when served. Fries were crispy and drinks were refilled often. A solid choice for a relatively inexpensive meal with a diverse menu to suit most tastes.

Ordered the bourbon steak with a small Caesar salad. The waitress decided that I didn't need the potatoes and instead brought just the steak and the salad, then charged me for both the dinner AND a salad. The fish and chips was closer to sushi, feel free to use a timer on the fryer, we are not in a hurry. The concept of a salad is to eat it BEFORE your dinner arrives, been that way for decades. It's not meant as a post dinner colon blow. The concept of deep fried fish is that we don't LIKE sushi. Had to flag her down for steak sauce since she threw the plates down and ran away without even asking the typical question, "can I get you anything else" If she did, I might have asked for the missing parts of my dinner. With so many restaurants in the area, customer service is what is going to win the battle. Better off crossing the road to one of the 5 other choices. I think Bentonville has too many restaurants and not enough workers to support customer service.

The server today was pretty well. The waiter kept a good eye on us for drinks and readiness to order/check. The food itself was really good. I had the new Napa Chicken with portobello mushrooms. I recomend if you do go. Order this.

It was an Applebee's. We went in early, anout 430p. Only about 10 tables had customers in them. Asked the waitress, Summer (who took good care of us) which was better, the chicken tender platter or the fish and chips. She said chicken tenders. Wish I would've gotten the fish and chips. The tenders were tiny and slightly overcooked. Wasn't a fan of their honey mustard sauce. Their fries were yummy though. We had the luxury of being set next to the table of employees that were on break or didn't have any tables. They were loud. Very loud. So....as I mentioned, it was an Applebee's. Good thing Summer did a good job or this could've been a two star rating.

One of the oldest chain restaurants in the Scottsdale Plaza, I think it's been there since it opened about ten years ago. Yes, it's a chain restaurant and I typically try to avoid them in favor of a more locally owned restaurant. However, Applebee's has recently undertaken a deeper relationship with Weight Watchers, which means that they have many food options that are not only lower calories, but many of them have clearly displayed points. This is helpful for my daughter, who is doing quite well on the WW system. On a Friday evening, the place was packed. I think we were the last to be seated before the waits started. Seating and decor is the same as at other Applebee's - booths and tables around the outside with a bar area that has high top tables and seats at the bar. Televisions tuned to various sports channels and 'olden time' pictures, posters and other memorabilia on the walls, including some local stuff. Dinner for me was a Spicy Shrimp Pasta for 550 calories. A decent serving with more than a dozen shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce with penne noodles. The service was good, I didn't feel like we waited especially long for the food to come from the kitchen and the waitress refilled our drinks a couple of times. $30 for two mains and two sodas ($2.29 each? wth?) with tip was maybe a bit expensive, but the food was decent and most importantly, it fit into the program easily. I have no doubt that we will return.

The worst food I've ever eaten! I would rather eat out of Taco Bell's Trash(I hate taco bell too) than ever eat anything out of an Applebee's again. This review is not limited to the one location. They all seem to be this bad. Only go there if it is your only option.

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of Applebee's. I lived close to this one and believe me, I wanted to like it. I gave this one several opportunities. The food was always mediocre and the wait staff and hostesses were consistently so oblivious, inattentive, and bothered when you spoke to them that I believe most anyone would feel that they were being treated rudely. This always confounded me because they practically share a parking lot with a Chili's, Colton's, Logan's Roadhouse, and are across the street from several other sit-down restaurant chains. The last time I was here, we sat at our table for 18 minutes after being seated without so much as having our drink order taken. Sure, I guess its my fault for actually sitting there that long before leaving, but the only purpose this place serves is to be extended parking for the other comparable restaurants next to it that actually wait on you, provide dishes cooked with more attention, and actually appreciate your business. If you must have Applebee's, the Fayetteville location is always excellent.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
