Millicent was our server. This place has improved compared to other reviews. It was very busy but our party of five was seated in less than ten minutes. Our server was especially helpful and accomodated my wife and I with three small children. I would return. /s/ William E. Lewis Jr, Davie, Florida

We arrived and chose to sit at the bar. After sitting for about 5 minutes the bartender decided she would tend to us. The feeling we had was we were more of a nuisance for sitting at an empty bar. It was around 1 in the afternoon. The feeling only worsen when we ordered a water and coke to drink. I then ordered Applebee's triple cheese burger. The funniest thing happened when the burger came out. IT DIDN'T HAVE BACON ON IT. When the server dropped it off. She said here is your triple cheeseburger obviously never looking at the burger. When I was finally able to get the bartender to break her conversation with another employee and check on us. I pointed out the problem with the burger. She decided to tell me about the burger. Bacon mayo, bacon cooked in the meat and topped with bacon. There was the problem. It was just a cheeseburger. I tried to send it back. Her way of solving the problem. She went into the back and brought me out bacon on a plate. This would make it a bacon cheese burger not a triple bacon cheese burger. It felt as if she didn't know the difference in the burgers or care for the job. From here i no longer wanted the burger. Asked just to get it removed from the bill. After explaining why to her i then had to go through the whole process with the manager on hand. It just was dragging a bad experience out.

We eat here regularly and the service and food quality has gone down hill. The last 3 times here they don't have glasses. The last 2 times we were here we were served our drinks in to go cups. Tonight we had to wait 15 minutes for our drinks because there were no glasses. Had the nachos and there was no chili on them the waitress tells us they don't serve it with chili anymore. They cost the same though

Service was very fast and friendly. Prices were fair and substitutions were readily handled. Food was very tasty. I had Bourbon steak with red potatoes and mushrooms. Served hot. Wife had grilled chicken wonton tacos with brownie dessert. She was happy. Decor was fine. Volume of noise acceptable. Would recommend

I have a previous review of an Applebee's in NJ. I had developed a great disdain for this chain as they always seemed to screw things up and the food left a great deal to be desired. But recent events had lead me to visit the Vero Beach establishment. I was pleasantly surprised with the new menu. Prices were about average and though it may be picky of me the server seemed overwhelmed with our party of 10. All in all I was happy and will be returning again.

We arrived at 9:50pm on a Sunday night and were seated right away. About 10 minutes later a server came by to tell us our server was busy (there were only 5 other tables seated) and he took our drink order. After waiting for ten minutes, we left. The manager didn't even apologize when we told him why we were leaving. This is an Applebees to avoid at all costs.

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.
