I called ahead to find out what the wait time was. I was told there was no wait time (Monday @ 6:30) When we arrived we were immediately sat. Our waiter arrived promptly to take our drink orders and by the time he came back with our drinks we were ready to order. I ordered the shrimp and steak, my girls ordered the 2 for $20 deal. Chicken basket and rib basket. The appetizers were boneless wings for the girls and a side salad for me. We got our appetizers within 15 minutes and our meal came out 10 minutes latter. My steak was tender and cooked to my liking. The shrimp with parmesan sauce had a lot of flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were the perfect side as well as the steamed broccoli. The girls both liked their dinner. The only complaint was the Shirley temple tasted water downed. Service was quick from the time we were seated to the time we got our food and to the end when we got our bill and were walking out. I have no complaints. Applebee's is an affordable place to eat good food.

I used to love going to Applebees for their beer on tap. Their beer is still really good and reasonably priced, but that would be my only reason for ever going back here! Applebees has changed their menu since I've last been here. They raised their prices and cut back their portions. My husband ordered a burger which was $11 and subpar. Red Robin has the same tasting hamburgers but charges less. This restaurant charges $2.50 just to swap out french fries for onion rings. They also had these game systems on the tables. You can play trivia and other games while you wait but each game adds .99 cents onto your bill. .99 cents isn't a lot of money but why add to your bill to play a game when you should be socializing with who you are out to dinner with anyways?? It's just really petty to charge extra for stupid little things. Especially when the food and atmosphere is not that great at all.

If you hate your job why work there? Probably won't be going to Applebee's anymore, I've given this place too many chances and it only gets worse with time. Prices went up and portions went down. The bartender did not seem happy to be there at all. I've worked in the service industry for 3 years (and still do) and I know that no matter how bad your night maybe you put on a damn smile and be friendly, or at the least attempt to be. I know what is annoying to wait staff so I try to be an easy customer. I knew it was happy hour because that's why we went and I like the happy hour drinks, did not receive the happy hour menu that says what food/drinks were on happy hour, fine whatever, didn't ask for it. Got a drink that I knew, from previous trips, was on happy hour. Got an appetizer did not receive silverware or napkins. Whatever fine. They also changed it so the pretzels no longer come with cheese and mustard so I had to ask for the other side, which I got an attitude like I was being bothersome (I ask politely and always say thank you). Again whatever. Got the Thai shrimp salad (sub shrimp for chicken.) This is when we got silverware. Got the salad and I stared at it for a minute, noticing the large bowl but very small amount of salad. See the picture on the menu? Cut that amount in half, that's what you get. It was premixed lettuce/carrot/cabbage, like what you find in the veggie section at Walmart, with edamame beans and the smallest amount of dressing I have ever seen, literally just a drizzle of dressing on top. I ask for a side of dressing. I kept looking at it wondering why the salad appeared different from what the picture was when I ordered, well I looked on the Applebee's online menu, out of pure irritation, it was also supposed to have crunchy wonton noodles, almonds, and cilantro, which my salad did NOT have. How do you miss THREE main parts of the salad?! Asked us how we were after our food was done. At this point I'm just kind of over being there. He was probably the most unfriendly bartender I have ever experienced, you shouldn't feel like your bothering a server when asking for something, that is there job and why you tip, for the service. We still tipped the normal 20% purely based off of being in the industry, not because he deserved it.
(1)Natalie L.
I give this place 5 stars because I walked in during lunch hour hoping to get an easy to go order since I was in a hurry and although at first one of the waitresses said it was going to be a very long time she did go double check and the manager and a server came out and said they could do it in about 15 min. As I was standing there waiting I was definitely not ignored several servers passed by me and asked if I was being helped and the bartender even offered me something to drink while I wait. Kuddos to them for the effort and thank you for filling my order very quickly on such a busy hour.
(5)Michael R.
Applebees is a good place to go the service is great and the drinks are good and great places especially happy hour they have these amazing Wong tan tacos but there wings and cheese sticks are horrible the marinara and cheese sticks are always cold and the wings suck they deffinately need to know how to make wings I make better ones at home that people would pay money for
(2)Ashley R.
Extremely over priced. Came in for late night and requested a booth. Everyone must request them because there wanst one available but yet the tables were empty. They were filled with dishes to be bussed. The staff didn't seem to have much ambition to clean em. Ordered drinks and we were shocked when we were charged $10 for a tiny margarita. What a rip. Ordered half off apps menu .You couldn't order more than one per person. I felt like there were a lot of restrictions for the late night menu. Food was good, service was ok. Got the bill and our waiter didn't even stay thank you or have good night. Kind of an awkward way to end the experience. I did notice that there were employees sitting around at bar and in corner for the whole time we dined. Considering how over staffed they were you think the tables might be cleaned off. Also it's a bit unpleasant hearing the waitstaff complain about their tips.
(2)Joey G.
We gave this place a few chances. But the service is always horrible. The drinks are the worst! They really need to get a bartemder who knows what he is doing... The one they have is always staring at the game and takes forever just to serve a beer...the cocktails always taste like alcohol and sweetner, so gross.
(1)Luann B.
Looking for a true Phoenix experience? Here you go. You show up for happy hour and instead you get cockroaches. The food isn't great. The service isn't bad. The roaches are a wonderful effect of bringing together the "Phoenix vibe".
(1)Norma G.
This place needs new management. The quality of food has gone down. The atmosphere is not how it used to be. The I got the sliders. The pulled pork was so salty that I couldn't take more than one bite.
(3)Laurie K.
All the Applebee's are closing without notice. This is the 3rd Applebee's we have been to today that wasn't out of business! The biggest complaint is BRING A SWEATSHIRT!! Every Applebee's is always cold. To the point of uncomfort! Food and drinks are always good and prices are reasonable. Don't know why they are all closing!
(2)Sarah W.
If I could give this location a zero I would. It is horrible. Service is slow and terrible. Servers are to busy talking to each other and not paying attention to people that are paying customers. My friends and I ordered several appetizers and didn't receive them all, then our food came out before we could even tell them we didn't get everything we ordered. I have been to this location a few times and now I know why I didn't come back the last time. Obviously the management is horrible otherwise why would servers be allowed to get away with such terrible service.
(1)Lindsey C.
Typical chain food. Nothing special. Wait staff seemed like they'd rather be elsewhere.
(2)Ron P.
Slow as hell. I'm sure we were forgotten about as people behind came and went. Finally complained. They still wouldn't cop to forgetting us. How long could it take to make a sandwich and a couple of salads. And no it wasn't busy.
(1)Mike M.
Why is every place going downhill? When we arrived we were told it was just shift change and they needed a second to clean a table. No big deal. We didn't even wait a whole minute before we were seated... Drinks ordered and arrived quickly. We were a little slow ordering. We were trying to decide on the 2 for $20/$25 deal or something else. Fajitas disappeared from the menu, but they still serve them. Once I found that out, we were ready to order. Now I wonder if mentioning shift change was a pre-excuse for the horrible service we were about to get... We ordered what used to be labeled as the Bottomless Chips and Salsa. Price is up by a $1. Thanks, Obamacare! It used to come out on their big round raised plate/tray with a semi-small bowl of salsa. That was OK because they always come back to the table often enough to keep you deep in salsa. Now it comes out on a much smaller tray with a tiny cup of salsa and a few chewy, stale chips... We thought, well, they'll be running their buts off filling that cup... That might have been so if we had seen our server even once before our food arrived. Actually, our server wasn't the one that brought our food so we didn't see her for a while afterward. Our food had come and our drinks (an iced tea and a water) had been sitting empty for a while. When our server finally made an appearance, she still didn't notice our drinks. We had to mention it to her. I know that sounds a little entitled, but there are expectations of service that used to be standard. You always refill a drink u[ to and while food is on the table or AT LEAST ask to. Half way into our meals we lost interest in the $4 chips and salsa sample. The entrees were great. At the very least the kitchen is still staffed be good people. I always order the steak fajitas, medium rare, and I eat the steak like a steak and then make veggie tacos out of the rest. I fricken love it. This time I was not disappointed. The steak was not medium rare (they never get that right) but it was still delicious. My dinner companion had a 7oz sirloin and it too was mouth-watering and juicy. Also not cooked as ordered (medium) but that meant I got the redder portions so, no complaint from me there... We actually got asked if we wanted another refill before we completed our meals. That was nice. However, after we had finished out food we had the desert/drink menu in hand and the waitress walks up and plops the check down and walks away. I may have some strong ideas about service but I don't know any manager that would train tyheir staff to miss an opportunity to offer drinks and deserts. That's not how you sell. So, it may have been mean but, we left no tip and stopped at DQ for a cone on the way home. We've already blacklisted the Applebee's on Baseline at 24th St. because of similar service, getting orders and drinks completely wrong, and billing us for things we did not order. This one is going on the list as well. Next time we'll drive all the way out to Baseline and 51st Ave. They seem to still understand customer service out there.
(1)Beatrice B.
I definitely would not come back based upon my experience tonight. Slow, is an understatement of the time it took for the drinks and food to come out. An hour and 15 minutes to get the meal to completion is a bit over-the-top.
(1)Diana M.
Bad service and bad food..to start off we had a server that did explain that she was new , BUT if you take forever to bring drinks then you probably shouldnt be a server cause thats the easiest part...so me and my bf get our sodas and takes another 10 min to get my sons apple juice! And we made our dinner orders when we ordered our drinks and we got our appetizers on time and waited forever for our food and come to find out by a new server that took over, that our order was never put in and that she would buy us dessert and she had told the cooks to rush and make our food. If it wasnt so late(after 10pm) and we didnt have to eat we wouldve just left. We finally get our food and my rice was hard and chips were stale. Yes it was nice to have been offered free dessert(which is why i gave an extra star)but service was bad and food made it worse. Won't be going back.
(2)Dan W.
My streak of good reviews has come to an end. Now if we can just do the same to Justin Beiber's life expectancy. I guess it was my fault for choosing to eat at a chain restaurant after lunch rush when the servers were trying to get their side work done and get out. Not even going to go into the details of what we ordered otherwise than to say it was incorrect, disappointing, took an excessive amount of time to prepare, and overall was a waste of time and money. I'm so frustrated with the restaurant and service industry. I hear often servers and other related staff complain about bad tippers. "If you can't afford to tip, don't go out to eat." How many times have you heard someone say that? I have a better saying. If you aren't good at your job. Go find another one and save the rest of the world from having to deal with your horrible work ethic combined with the American sense of entitlement. Just because you work in a profession that involves tips doesn't mean you earned any.
(2)Clay R.
I went in for a late lunch. The place was nearly empty, and my waitress was very nice. It was happy hour with drink specials and half off appetizers. I got two apps and two beers for only $12. All this said however, I don't think I'll ever go back to Applebee's. I went all the time for lunch about ten years ago, and boy the food quality has gone down a LOT. Everything was disgustingly salty and greasy. I have felt sick all day. Pick up your game Applebee's!
(2)Alan G.
Come on Monday after 5pm for cheap delicious burgers. Have any issues ask for matty, he'll take care of you. Great staff, everyone is friendly yet professional. Try the loaded mash potatoes, excellent.
(5)ponyboy b.
I've eaten at a few Applebee's before and I can't say the food or service was bad. With this location, the question is, how long do you have to wait for your meal? ( esp. when the place is half empty) After 15 minutes maybe the server could say your meal will be here soon or would you care for some tortilla chips while you're waiting? After 20 minutes, still nothing......25 minutes ...no food, no response from the server. At 30 minutes, sorry Applebee's .... You've been Chopped! I'm out of here.
(1)David L.
Worst service ever, couldnt get our orders right, brought our food before our kids food. Didnt even give us silverware or napkins or plates for our appetizer. When they did bring plates, they were wet! Horrible.
(2)Maci K.
When you don't get off work until midnight and your clientele are people who have been travelling all day you often find yourself needing a drink (or seven) and something to eat. I happened to find myself in this position last Friday night and so a co-worker and I decided to stop by to decompress. We chose Applebee's because its kitchen stayed open until 12:45 and we definitely needed some food. We got there around 12:30 and felt kind of bad ordering food but the bartender assured us it was no problem at all and that she was happy to do it. Her name was Mary and she was awesome! Super friendly, she was joking around with us all night, not to mention she was really attentive too, always making sure we had everything we needed whether it was getting our drink order in before last call or condiments for our food. As we were walking out a couple other employees wished us a good night and welcomed us to come back again. I know it's a small gesture but it makes you feel good and I will definitely be returning for my next decompression session (look I made a rhyme!)
(4)Stephanie V.
Great draft beer prices and consistent good customer service!
(4)Vanessa C.
Great service and food... We really enjoyed 25cent wings and the fact that they were open late and child friendly was awesome!
(4)Debby M.
This had always been my favorite Applebee's. Consistently good perfect margaritas, quick seating, great Happy Hour!
(5)Tiffany W.
Kristie C service today was horrible. Took too long to take drink order, took to long to take food order, food took forever to arrive and it wasn't even hot! Garlic bread was cold! Kid never got refill, another person in my party water was taken to refill but never brought back. Took forever to receive check. I'm a regular at this Applebee's but I will not be going back.
(1)Charisse R.
When I think of a place to go for a drink I didn't think of Applebee's but I'm glad I went. They have great drinks and friendly service. The waitress we had removed a drink from my receipt even though I drank the whole drink that I didn't really like. She made sure our glasses were never empty and our food was served hot. They have ladies night every week and kids eat free I think on Tuesday or Wednesday's. I'll be back!
(4)LuckieMaounds P.
Good reverse happy hour. And the pictures in the menu *look* phenomenal. Richard Christie might have something with his love of aaaaaaaapple beeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss... but honestly, the reverse happy hour has a lot of 1/2 off stuff.
(3)Jake P.
(It's been over a year since I stopped eating at chain restaurants altogether, but since I joined Yelp recently, I thought it might be nice to explain why on a case by case basis.) Cookie cutter food prepared and served by tip-desperate, spirit-crushed, flair-bedecked post adolescents discovering how much corporate food service jobs suck. Bad or non-existent flavors covered up by extra fat and too much salt. Stupid, manufactured decor - where is the factory that makes this crap? Has to be China, or possibly hell. Irresponsible, unappetizing and despair-inducing.

We got the 14 minutes or it's free deal, and boy, do they make sure the food gets to you in under 14 minutes, even if it means the hamburger is bloody & the salad looks like it's been sitting in the back of the fridge for 2 weeks. They didn't charge us for our food, thank goodness, but I won't go back there to that location or ask for that deal again.

It took our server here AN HOUR AND A HALF (90 minutes) to get the bill separated. Our server was visibly and audibly having a psychological breakdown, unable to handle a party of 10 with appetizers and drinks for each person. She sat down at the table multiple times, drawing diagrams and equations so complex and confusing I can't even imagine. She was openly complaining to us about her other tables and constantly delivering drinks to the wrong person. This one star is strictly due to the service. The food and drinks are decent quality and moderately priced so in any other situation I'm sure it would've been three even four stars....

I'm all about eating local, supporting small business and all that... I never thought I could become a fan of such a corporatey chain as Applebee's... but it truly is the staff that makes the place. Everybody here is super friendly. Robert is a fantastic bartender, and hardly ever short on ideas for new drinks. On top of all that, they've got karaoke on Tuesday nights that is a blast! Yes, you read that right. Karaoke at Applebee's. Crazy, I know, but lots of fun regardless. Oh yeah and their shredded pork wonton tacos... YUM!

Surprising the Roma Pepper Steak was delicious. Waiter knew how they made their steaks and ensured I would get medium rare, the red tomato topping added a good tangy taste. Red potatoes were soft and great. Portobello mushroom with artichoke cheese spread good also. I enjoyed the plate.

I will not eat at this Applebee's again. I ordered to go. The food was cold, very greasey and did not taste good. The salad I payed almost $4.00 for was tiny and limp. The only thing that my family ordered that was good was the ranch dressing.

I DO NOT recommend this place for internet orders or take out. I ordered a steak and asked for Medium Well and it was way over well done. The broccoli was under cooked and served with raw garlic. Also I had a half rack of ribs that was over cooked to burnt and again the broccoli was gross. Then I also ordered dessert from there, a strawberry cheese cake shooter, yeah well it looked curdled and not appetizing so I wasted my money. There seems to be a trend with hiring bad cooks at all applebees McDonalds would have been better than this place

The place needs a facelift, badly. It felt grungy; there was a stain of some kind on one of the seats at our table and the table was sticky. Our daughter's "cheese pizza" was on a tortilla and the cheese was not melted all the way along with WAY too much sauce. Either the waitress or the chef got my order wrong (a totally different dish than I ordered) so while my family ate I had to wait for my food to be remade. Only good part about our experience was that we had a gift card so we only paid $13 after tip.

Bartender was very attentive, process was quick since I was short on time during work lunch. Food was okay for the price level.

Tori is the kindest most polite manager of any restaurant we have ever been to. The other Tempe Applebee's on broadway was rude to my husband because he has Alzheimer's disease. Tori treated him with only kindness and respect. Thank you tori. From bob and marilyn.

Okay Applebee's is not my favorite and never has been .. especially this one where the pleasant hostess seems to be way to serious and the polite servers are slow as molasses. So why the 4 rating! Because today they are winning me back. First of all there was the new server and the old server .. the new server took our order, got our drinks and brought our food .. turns out we weren't her table, she just did it because she saw us waiting so long .. the old server took back over and our drinks were dry and it took forever to check out! Yay new server! can we bet more like her! Next winner, the new manager that checked on us, very nice and talkative, made us feel comfortable and finally the menu changes! I had this thing they call a Wonton Taco! WOW! That was fantastic. It's an appetizer but I had it for lunch and was completely satisfied. Never thought I'd say this about Applebee's but I'll be going back for sure.
