Went with my friends - Food was good and because was Monday we got a discount (they have this promotion) - great service - kind of slow to have the food on the table - the restaurant was sooooo coooold I felt like I was in Alaska and because of that I couldn't really enjoy the food I was eating.

Ok, let me try to keep it real here. I don't live far from this restaurant but, this was my very first time here. I have been wanting to go but, I never got around to it. All the negative reviews on Yelp deterred me quite a bit from finally going. Finally, today, I stopped-in for lunch with a friend. So, I open the door and walk inside. The first thing I noticed is the stench of "something" in the air. The only thing I can compare it to was a dirty mop or "something." No big deal really. It wasn't "that" overpowering. It only lingered at the entrance or, I just got used to it quickly. The restaurant still had a nice amount of diners when I got there finishing their lunch. The tables did get cleaned right away when each of the tables were vacated. This restaurant, aside from the negative reviews on Yelp, seems to be a favorite of many locals. Any time I drive by, there are many diners there. Especially on the weekends. The menu seems to be almost exactly as the other similar restaurants, e.g., Chili's, TGI Fridays, etc.. They may be owned by the same company. I don't know the answer to that. We each opted to have one of their new burgers off of their menu. I had the Cowboy Burger and my friend had the Triple Bacon Burger. Both were very good. I can see why people complain about the service here since there were some minor inconsistencies with today's service, however, it was nothing to go home crying about. It's an affordable restaurant with many food and drink options on their menu. I mean, you know? Come here with an open mind not expecting star service and you will be alright. At least the burger we each had were done well and were delicious. There was plenty of staff on hand so, we got our food fairly fast. Amidst the myriad of Hispanic Restaurants in Hialeah, this kind of food is rare here. So, this being an option at this location so that we don't need to leave Hialeah is wonderful.

Food is always good service depends on the server you get hubby and I always go for the 2 for 20$ menu and it's always plenty of food

Second time at this location and they bring it. The service was great and the food was awesome. A chain spot bit we enjoyed.
(5)George M.
We have been coming to this Applebee's since it's opening, and I never have had bad serve here. The servers are polite and courtesy, the drinks are served first, and the food next. Today's visit was five patrons, and our server was very attentive to our needs. Will be coming back here!

Ok so we arrived 3:27pm and we waited 5 minutes til someone ask us if we were attended. Then we waited like 2-3 minutes til we were seated. We orded appetizers and drinks, perfect!! Right on time. I decided to order a Ceasar grilled chicken salad and my partner order a burger we waited for probably 10-15 minutes. Food arrived looks delicious, taste NOT delicious. My salad was good but chicken tasted like you take it out of freezer let is defrost then you decide not to cook it, put it back in the freezer again and next day repeat the same. Taste like dead disgusting meat, I still have the taste in my mouth. Service not so good, not silver wear in our table, no napkins, we decently ask and one girl just gave us one. Come on really!!! Two people sharing one fork and knife?? I am very dissatisfied and disappointed of this place, we have come couple of time and from first day til now they went from good to horrible. Definitely not coming here again. Looking for another Applebee's place..!!!

Outdoor siting is great but if you are impatient like me do not seat outside . I repeat do not seat outside . Our drinks , food took forever . When I say forever I mean an hour maybe more . The drinks came with the food . I was like what ?!!! I think is cause they are more caught up with the costumers inside that those outside . Maybe it was a bad day . Nevertheless we enjoyed our food that was okay .
(3)Saly Ale O.
Nice place, I always enjoy the moment!!! I been here I don't now how many times since is very close to my house, servers are always in good mood , appetizers super quickly, I can't talk about the bar because Im not a drinker, but my dad always order beer or any drink and is always good, for my side, the best strawberry lemonade that I had, servers speak spanish and they take your order right away, this place is good for lunch, for dinner, for happy hour, for families, for everything, KEEP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
(5)Samuel D.
Took a little longer than usual to get a waitress for my Veterans day meal, even though it was not busy at all. We ordered an appetizer and the entrees at the same time and the food came rather quickly and before the appetizer, so we canceled the appetizer. The food was very 'blah', and not well put-together, for example, my girlfriends mashed potatoes barely tasted like butter; The rice in my fiesta chicken was dry. She ordered a Sprite and received a water. I will never again visit this particular store for my free Veterans day entree. I've had a few meals at applebees accross the United States and this was by far the worst experience.
(2)Natali V.
This restaurant have good offers i love the mozzarella stick here and i love the dessert! But last time I went here the meat have a little fat and the service took so long
(3)Wendy A.
We placed an order on the website for Carside To-Go, which states that a server will bring the food to your car upon pickup. It makes sense as on the website when you place your to-go order, it even asks you what type of car you own as well as the color. We get to Applebee's about 10 minutes after the scheduled time for pickup just to give them enough time, and we park in the Carside To-Go spot. We wait...and wait...and wait...nothing. My boyfriend becomes annoyed and decides to go inside. He asks the server why no one had came to our vehicle with the food, and she replies "we don't do that, you have to come inside and get it." He exclaims to her that it on the website, that it lets you pick between walking inside and picking up the order, to having it delivered to your car for Carside To-Go. She looks at him like he is speaking gibberish and doesn't know what he's talking about. We leave, very unhappy, and when we get home, my steak tasted like plastic and was very over-cooked. I do agree that the boneless wings were delicious, but everything else was the opposite. I understand that you get what you pay for, but this was horrible.
(2)Swaminathan K.
Food wise the restaurant is good but I got a waiter for my table after 15 minutes to take care of even the restaurant is 7 tables It's not. A busy time ..but the waiter's were sit and chatting with their coworkers
(3)Allison M.
My boyfriend is a restaurant manager so we are usually very generous with tips since we know waiters/waitresses depend on it but we don't just throw our money away either. The lack of customer service at this specific Applebee's is outstanding. They are rude, apathetic and lazy. First, it took them about 20 minutes to pass by our table and ask us what we wanted to drink, mind you the restaurant was EMPTY! After our food was served my boyfriend wanted an extra side of mashed potatoes and I asked for some Parmesan cheese. Not only did we have to remind them 3 TIMES but the bus boy brought my Parmesan cheese with one hand scratching his butt. As soon as we saw that we asked for the check, paid our bill and left. Literally one of the worst restaurants you can go to. I think La Carreta has better standards than this place.
(1)Martin M.
This is a disgrace to the Applebee's restaurant chain. The food does not taste nearly as good as at other Applebee's, NOT cool. Hopefully, they change the manager and retrain their cooks. They certainly need to do something. Whatever they decide, they need to do it like yesterday! I only gave it one star because their parking is great. Otherwise, it would have been zero stars.
(1)Flor M.
Worst customer service experience. To begin with I called 45 minutes ahead to let them know I had a party of 20. I was advised they didn't take reservations; which is understandable but at least prepare for it. We get there and they acted surprised when I said party of 20. There's only one side of the restaurant that does not have booths and can possibly accommodate a big group. 4 of our guests cancelled so were down to 16 which only required 2 tables. There was only one table available on that side and they sat a group that fit in a booth on the table right next to it right when we came in. Long story short we had to wait 2 hours for that party to leave. When the party finally left, nobody general manager included did anything to accommodate us. We waited 20 more minutes by the bar. We went to the general manager and his response was it takes time for us to sit such as big group. The tables were just there and they didn't have to do anything not even put them together as if we wouldn't fit if they did put them together. When we finally sat the 'hero' bartender left the bar and took the order for table 1. He left to put in the order in the kitchen. Never came back neither he took the order of table 2. In all these table 2 didn't even have menus. Table 1 got the drinks; table 2 was still waiting for a server. Table 1 gets the appetizer and we had no napkins or utensils. Finally a server realized we were going through Troy. He took the order and got us all eating. Overall, worst experience ever. Have nothing to compare it to.
(1)Pacheco V.
Mediocre food, unhappy waitresses and long waits even when it's empty. I usually come here as a last resort.
(2)Our P.O V.
I just moved to the area and this was the first place I decided to stop by for a drink and enjoy the Heat game. It's unfortunate, to say the least, that my first Strawberry Margarita had a fly in it. Not impressed with the bartender's reaction to my dissatisfaction. I would've given them a 1, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that the food may be good (although I havent tried it), and they are rookies at handling this type of incident. Nonetheless I'm not impressed with their services. To add, the bartenders should consider keeping it professional amongst eachother - as customers are always watching.
(2)Ariadna M.
I literally opened an account on yelp just so that I could post this review. I'll start off on a good note. I will say that everyone but our waiter and another young man were nice and attentive, and the manager was very attentive and present, which I found wonderful I went to this restaurant with my family last night. First off, we go inside and tell a young man how many people we are and he just hands us one of those buzzer things, he doesn't write down our name or that we had even asked for a table. As an aside, he was unprofessionally dressed, his shirt wasn't buttoned all the way up (a la Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing), Revealing a high chest tattoo. My mom had to ask another young man for help, we were then immediately seated. Our waiter was unprofessional, made us wait unbearably long for everything, and was rude. It was an obviously slow night, but it took at least ten minutes to get our drinks (lemonades- easy to make/serve), around twenty minutes for appetizers, another ten minutes after the appetizers arrived for him to even take our order, thirty minutes for the food to arrive, around ten or 15 minutes for dessert, and another ten for our check. He didn't write anything down, but to his credit, everything came exactly as it was ordered. I had to ask him to take our order after we received appetizers. His response was "oh well before you told me you didn't know so I wasn't sure". He did look flustered and as if he'd recognized he'd waited too long to come and ask again. Anyone can make a mistake, that is true. The food took a very long time to arrive, we wiped the appetizers clean, something we rarely do. We also had to ask him for drink refills a few times. When the food finally came it looked good and tasted great. Though the food was oddly extremely spicy ( the nachos and quesadilla burger). What completely angered me and ruined the rest of the night was when he sat down at the table next to ours and started talking to them, he did this two or three times for several minutes and complained about how the restaurant closes so late and how he'd had a hard day. That is very unprofessional. Furthermore, all the while we were waiting for him to come ask us if we wanted dessert. The other table, which came in about thirty or forty minutes after us still left about five or ten minutes before we did. We were waiting for dessert while he was bringing them their to-go containers. My family and I like to tip well, we tipped him the minimum 15% because it's what he deserved. This was really disappointing, considering we've come here several times before and always been well attended. I will say the other servers seem to be much more on their game than the one we had. I'm withholding his name because maybe he did just have a bad night, and I wouldn't want to get him in any trouble.

This place it TERRIBLE!!! First of all, it smells like wet towels when you walk in. After I was seated I put my hands on the table and it was both wet and dirty. When I pointed this out to our waitress she had to clean it twice before it was actually clean. My bf and I had just had dinner and only came in for dessert. We both ordered a brownie that came with ice cream. Please explain how his was perfectly intact when it got to the table and mine was almost completely melted. Furthermore, how can the waitress who sees them when they come out, think its ok to serve it??? After pointing this out she offered to bring me some ice cream on the side. Suuuuuure, that would go great with the brownie that's been sitting in the pool with the melted ice cream for about ten minutes (bc that's how long it took for her to come back around). A manager never stopped by our table. I would never come back here again.

I have been to other Applebee's restaurants before and I didn't have any problem with any of them but unfortunately I didn't like the food that was served to me in this Applebee. The steak that I ordered was nasty, for sure it was not cooked from the grilled. It tasted as if it was cooked in a microwave and the meat tasted bad. The chips from the artichoke tips that we ordered was very salty. Even though the service was very good I will not recommend this place.
(2)Jose Miguel S.
Tonight the service was very nice and fast enough. The food was awesome too. I ate chicken freshcado again, delicious.
(4)Brian S.
The food is F- ! I purchased the Sirloin and Full Rack of Ribs. Both were low grade quality and not worth eating.

I hate speaking ill of anything in Hialeah. I really love that town, look forward to taking my wedding picture in front of the Hialeah fountain and naming my son Raul Martinez F. So for me to write a negative review about a Hialeah business.. I had gone back and forth on this Applebees because yeah they served colada and it was geographically convenient from both home and work. It fit the bill for late solo dinners after 12 hour workdays, like tonight. I sat at my usual spot at the bar, and tried to hit on a Miss Hialeah sitting next to me to match the couple on my left. Ordering the riblets, fries and a coke (no drinkie since I have early meetings tomorrow) I was expecting a nice dinner. I shall instead count the ways: 1. The bartender / waiter forgot that he had taken my food order. I had to order twice..shoulda taken that as a sign! 2. I had to keep reminding him about my BBQ sauce. If you know me, you know messing up my sauce is an automatic two star deduct 3. The riblets appeared to be more bone than meat, and tasted differently than other BBQ (in a not good way). And I eat enough BBQ. 4. I'm home drinking chamomille and tea now...ya dig? Seems like Ill need another late night Hialeah diner :(

I was first introduced to Applebee's back in the mid 90's after visiting the Vero Beach location. We had a great experience and continued dining there frequently. I was excited when they first opened up in Doral but the excitement was quickly extinguished. Now there is this one. While visiting my mom, she suggested that we go there since they have a decent 2 for $20 menu. I figured, why not? It's been years since I've had Applebee's. Now I remember why. First of all, the staff was really friendly upon arrival. Our server was nice too but not very attentive. I mean, no check back service after our meal was served and no drink refills until we flagged her down after sucking on all our ice cubes. The food. Let me start by saying that it was not horrible. But definitely not memorable at all. The 2 for $20 is just an appetizer and 2 entrees. Other establishments include dessert. But, I digress. The spinach artichoke dip looked different. It was totally green. I mean not just the spinach. It was odd. The taste was bland too. The chips were good though. My mom and husband both got the chicken and (miniature) shrimp dish. I ordered the Cabernet sirloin. Both dishes were blah. Very tasteless and unremarkable. The one redeemer was the mini dessert cup which was pretty good. I guess I'll wait another 15 years before trying them again.

Terrible, Terrible service. They screwed up on the order and didn't even apologize for their mistake. The manager overseen everything and did nothing about it. Que clase de mierda este lugar.

I had to definitely come on here and write a review I'm from Hialeah so I know and I'm highly aware of the ghetto ness that's evolved in here but hey what are you going to do lol It was actually my birthday and my mother invited me to go eat some quick dinner before I went out with some friends for the night since obviously I live in Hialeah I figured we go somewhere in my area.well usually I'll go out my way and drive to pembroke,doral etc, and this is exactly why lmao.so I've been to this Applebee's once maybe 2years ago with my two best friends and her children and I don't remember it being half of what I saw two days ago literally I don't know who manages or tries to manage that place but I will definitely never go there again rather go to chilies,flanigans,or anything but there and is disappointing because the drinks and food weren't bad but the service omg like seriously I would love to just fire everyone in that place expect for the bartender don't know his name which made the drinks pretty good the only reason he's saved lmao.upon our arrival it's half empty wens day night,no hostess to be found I'm there wondering how I sit down?do I walk in? I'm confused lol , little teenage bubbly annoying girl comes running laughing screaming at guys from the bar very unproffesional to sit me and my mom down okay we're seated lol thanks god she tells us our server will be right with us.we wait lol and wait and wait lol but that didn't bother me because usually I'm indecisive so whatever the server don't remember her name I don't even think she had a name tag on so yeah that shows you how scared or used to complaints these people are to use getting.she was skinny tall very ghetto short hair and just plain ratchet she approaches us and seemed nice I mean okay she offers some drinks we order a perfect margarita sangria and the sampler appetizer we wait about 15min and some random girl brings our appetizer and the spinach dip is cold, so that means that appetizer was most likely just sitting in the kitchen the waitress nowhere to be found kept walking back and forth wouldn't even acknowledge us she was singing on the other half of the restaurant seemed to me she wanted to have all the tables of the restaurant greedy, some other chick walks by our table and my mom tells her our spinach dip is cold can we get a new one she takes the appetizer platter back to the kitchen and the same fat bitch that brought the appetizer in the beginning,brought it back and told us your spinach dip will come now um hello are you kidding me you bitches been walking back and fourth like this is an appetizer party?!?with my food back and forth do you really think I'm going to eat this lol wow I felt very uncomfortable by this point the waitress still nowhere to be found we asked the girl for waters not our waitress she brought them half filled and gave my mom straws without a wrapper are you fucking serious that's disgusting who does that I mean idk who's training or managing or what the hell there doing in that place but please fix this problem you will eventually loose all customers besides the fact the restaurant was half empty lol so continuing the story the waitress finally appears acting like she didn't know nothing that happened she offers to bring us a new platter so this handsome gentlemen manager he looked very professional and nice came to our table and explained said sorry and actually gave me a drink on the house so I was happy we got our appetizer fresh and hot! By this point our waitress started attending us we'll and explained how she was handling the whole restaurant and all the girls are in training they have no busser or food runners and was sorry I felt bad for her because,hey I'm a waitress and I know it's hell to be one but let me tell you something you choose to have that job and if your going to be in the food and beverage industry you need to know about service seriously attend customers be attentive apologize that's all it takes!!!we left her more them 20percent on check only because I felt bad and that cute manager saved her but she didn't deserve shit so now you know and by the way idk how lunch might be but I'm not risking it AVOID!!!!!!

If I could give this place NO STARS I would. Horrible FOOD! Service was good no problem with that but the food was just disgusting. Not fresh what so ever! My bf had the steak and it tasted like rubber. I had a chicken which was okay, I mean it was only a chicken breast with tomatoes and onions how bad can that be? I will never be here again, not even if someone invited me.

We had a really great time here. I'm a huge customer service freak and I loved our server! Her name is Savannah and she is awesome! Definitely ask to be seated with her, and I don't think you will be unhappy. We ordered the pork sliders which are divine. It's cooked in a sweet sauce which blends perfectly, and always cooked perfectly. Even though I think it is a bit pricey (4 for $6.99), I order this every visit. We also had honey BBQ wings which were very yummy. I really adore the sticky sweetness doused with ranch dressing. The chicken penne pasta was bland though, it really lacked flavor and/or spice. The little loaf of bread that it comes with didn't seem too fresh either. The riblets were okay but could have been cooked better. The mashed potatoes were divine. The drinks at Applebee's are always slammin'. I got the mango martini for my meal and a mudslide for desert. Both were perfectly mixed. My lover got happy hour beer, Samuel Adam's Oktoberfest edition. Beer is neither here or there for me but I took quite a few sips because it was malt-based and yummy. I will most likely come back here again. The place was clean. We were seated quickly and exactly where we wanted. The manager came by to make sure we were serviced and happy. A few of the waitresses were complaining loudly which was a little annoying but hopefully they will be jettisoned for people like our waitress!

I was there last night, great service, granted it was a wed. night, but i will never go back. I had the 2 for 20. the entree had shrimp and chicken, I'm not sure what they did but judging by the way i felt after leaving and the pain in my stomach today. I would say they left the raw food out or didn't wash their hands before returning to work. employees are young, maybe that's why the have poor kitchen etiquette and hygiene. disgusting. first and last time i go to that Applebees.

I'm with Evelyn on this one. Both the service and the food is horrible. I thought that perhaps it was just the location, so I went to the one on PInes and that one has the same bad service, food, and its old and dirty. Although, the one in Pines had a smidge better service, a smidge though, and probably just because the guy gave us a free dessert. Probably because he screwed someone elses order and had an extra dessert and we were his only other table. *scratches head and ponders*

Probably the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. Apple bees usually closes at 2am and I walked in with a party of 3 people at 11:00 pm. It took them 20 mins to acknowledge that we were standing there waiting to be seated. After that, the host told us that they decided to close the restaurant early because it was a slow day.(who does that?!) he also added that they packed up most of the food and said we could only order an appetizer. Once they seated us NO one came by. The servers were young teenagers taking pictures with the "slippery when wet bathroom sign". They didn't care one bit that we were just waiting. I got so upset I walked out and left. I could not believe what had happened. I would never go there again.

Is here have 0 zero star?I've here three times since I moved Hialeah. To be honest, most of my experience are terrible!!last time the waiter ask us sit closed to bar, very noisy from a lot of drunk people and the waiter didn't like we ask change table because theirI've here three times since I moved Hialeah. To be honest, most of my experience are terrible!!after 10mins the waitress just came ask our order. She might be thought our order very simple so she didn't used writing; but as a result, she gave us a wrong entree and forgot the soup I ordered even pointed out obliviously!!FYI, this kind of situation happened waiting 20mins! Her attitude from beginning was very arrogant until she found she made mistake just changed a little bit better. Either food or service or will be reason I will be there next time waste my money! others section closed. after 10mins the waitress just came ask our order.

Starting from the moment I walked in the door service was atrocious. The host didn't ask me how many in my party or what type of seating we would like, but seeing as how we were all there and got seated quickly I didn't mind as much as everything else. Then as we get to the booth it has crumbs all over it, the host proceeds to wipe it down with her hand onto the floor (also very dirty) and tells us someone will be by to clean the floor, no one ever came. Our waitress was not attentive at all, she got our drink order and returned with out the water my friend ordered. Then disappeared for 15 minutes before returning for our food order. After she took our food order she never returned to ask us if we needed refills for our drinks. Then the appetizer came out, we got the spinach dip, it was all cold and tasted bland. Then 27 minutes after our appetizer our food came out, not by our waitress I might add we hadn't seen her the whole time. The steaks were bland the vegetables were undercooked and they messed up a few of the sides. After our waitress finally showed up and fixed the orders she disappeared again till after the check was brought to us. The only good thing was the beer, it was bottled.

Great service and food!!

Service: Horrible with a capital H, young lady waiting our table should have been wearing "Traning" Button. At one point someone from our party (with no previous Applebees training) was showing her how to calculate our bill on their computer system. Attention: Ridiculously Horrible, we called ahead to say we were a party of 9, when we arrived we explained we were going to Yelp (of which they knew nothing about) and that we were on our lunch "HOUR" I guess they thought we meant Corporate Lunch Hour (We were there for an estimated 2hrs) Food: Mediocre Thank you for the Free Lunch, I would much rather eat rocks than ever have any type of meal service at this place again!

This is a very busy place ,always full ,the food is OK ,I think the staff should be more aware that we can Yelp ,they are not prepare to handle the amount of people that come in .They run slow ,and forget BBQ sauce ,bring the beer late if the place is full ,overall ,I don't think they have enough staff think they need to train the staff more ,

The food was okay; It's up to par with other restaurants around the general area and Miami Lakes. The service, however, was unsatisfactory. Our server, a woman Ladys (pronounced Ladies, for those unfamiliar with Cuban names), greeted us with a cold, dismissive and generic "Hello welcome to Applebee's". She spoke very broken English and interjected with Spanish multiple times. Language and cultural differences aside, Ladys also seemed to be very impatient with us. When my lunch date asked for a coke, Ladys rolled her eyes and began to explain that there was no coke, but pepsi instead. When I asked for a diet coke, she sighed, rolled her eyes, and reiterated, condescendingly, that there was "NO COKE, ONLY PEPSI, OKAY?". We finally got around to ordering our food, after Ladys took our order for two pepsi's, not cokes. We had a minor issue with the bill that had to do our order, a misunderstanding on our part, but Ladys took no mercy on us and decided to condescend us once more. According to her, "it was our fault we ordered from the wrong part of the menu, and if we would have looked, we would have noticed that the prices were different." Looks like we ordered at the wrong restaurant, as well. And some final thoughts concerning the atmosphere- It's your usual, loud hispanic restaurant. If shouting in Spanish doesn't bother you, there shouldn't be a problem. Needless to say, I won't be visiting this eatery again.

It's ok. Nothing really impressive. The ambience is cool, the quality of thebfood is good but they need to change the way than they cook.I think everything is pre- cooked here and they just re- warmed at the moment. I went here with friends and was a Monday burger day everyburger fo $6.99 with free refill of french fries, good deal. Everything was good but just warm nothing feel like cook at the moment. But overall was ok.

I usually/never write reviews but I had such a bad experience that I had to do it. Mainly the only reason we came here was for the new churro s'mores dessert which was a complete disappointment. The churros were fine but the chocolate was watery. It was basically cheap watered down chocolate syrup. For appetizers we chose the 2 for $9, nachos and potstickers. The potstickers tasted like pure fish, disgusting! And the nachos were so salty i felt my heart pressure going up. For the main meal we shared the 4 cheese Mac and cheese pasta and it was so cold that I could not finish it. I could have returned it but we returned the nachos and I was afraid they were going to spit on it. I've been to this location before and the food was always decent so maybe the chef was having an off day. Ohh well at least our server was nice

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place was good once upon a time but my last two experiences here have been terrible!! We ordered a 2 for $25 meal... Got one meal.. And 20 mins later the 2nd meal was still not at the table. We made the waitress aware and asked her to please just remove it from the check. Rather than the manager coming to the table she simply removed $9 from my check and left it at that. There was absolutely no effort on their end to make us feel better about the experience. Not to mention, how is a $9 deduction actually the correct deduction for a 2 for $25 meal? I don't think I will ever be returning here, it isn't worth the frustration.

Unauthorized tip. It was 3 days ago I went to Applebee's with some friends. I left a cash tip. I'm checking my credit card today, and it shows I paid about $2.50 more. $2.50 may not seem a lot to steal, but it doesn't change the fact that it was stolen. All these negative reviews should alert anyone not to come into this place. Waiter name: Alex M.

Great spot to come to for 2x1's! Never been here and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Our server Jessica Delgado was I N C R E D I B L E ! Super friendly and very attentive to our every request. So glad we decided to come here instead of stay home. Ask for Jessica!

This place has terrible but i mean terrible service it took about 20 min to get served then the 4 drinks 3 sodas n a beer took 25 min to get there after i told the waitress if we looked like trees or statues n she had the nerve to tell me she was busy after we saw her eating n taking pictures then when our appetizers got there we had no silver wear n she bought plates with food on them . So if u decide to eat here stay away from vyanka the one that looks like she got hit in the back of the legs with a bag of nickels STAY A W A Y

One of the most aweful experiences ever. I ordered the fish and asked for extra crispy. When I got it not only was it slimy, but it smelled really really fishy, like old fish. When I asked to return it the manager refused to see us, instead sending out the chef who seemed insulted and became combative insisting the fish was cooked correctly. I showed her the slimy fish and all she said was that was how their fish is supposed to looked. I returned the meal and to make matters worst they charged for the side that came with the meal!! Utterly horrendous customer service and worst food! I have had this exact meal in other Applebee's and it's been great. this one just doesn't care and it shows in their food and customer service.
