Diabetics must resist their temptations when dining at Applebee's. Most of the items on Applebee's menu is either stuffed with sodium or sugar. You must be extra careful and pick low-sugar and low-sodium diet at Applebee's if you are diabetic.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for Diabetics:
If you are starting your meal with appetizers then make sure you skip the Classic Buffalo sauce, Honey BBQ sauce, and sweet Asian Chile sauce on your wings order. It is highly recommended to skip the appetizers if you are dining alone and instead build your appetizer keeping nutrition in check. Among the steaks, you must stay away from the Applebee's Riblets platter as well as Bourbon Street Steak at all costs. Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloin is also not recommended. Skip the sandwiches, wraps, and tacos as well. Desserts may be tempting but it is recommended to avoid them at Applebee's for their high sugar content. All the beverages except Iced Teas must be avoided as well to control your sugar intake.
Most of the foods served at Applebee's restaurants are high in sodium. Unless you are visiting the restaurant or dining here in the group, there are hardly any options from the main meals if you wish to keep your blood pressure in check. You can rely on a few salad options though. If lucky, you may find low-sodium ribs as well at the restaurant.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Blood Pressure
Avoid Green Goddess Wedge at Applebee's. Broccoli Cheese Soup and French Onion Soup contain over 1000mg sodium and hence must be skipped as well. Skip all the chicken dishes and seafood at Applebee's except Grilled Chicken Breast and Baked Haddock without sides respectively. You must also skip Brunch Burger, Quesadilla Burger, Triple Bacon Burger, and Whiskey Bacon Burger at Applebee's. High sodium intake can be lethal for a high blood pressure candidate. Avoid ordering foods that contain over 1000mg sodium at Applebee's, especially if you're dining alone.
Food Suggestions for High Blood Pressure at Applebee's
Well, steaks and ribs go hand in hand with cholesterol. Being their signature dish, it will be a challenge to find low-calorie, healthy food for those concerned with their cholesterol levels. However, you can always opt for their salads and other light foods to keep the cholesterol in check.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Cholesterol
If you have high cholesterol, then you must avoid eating sandwiches, wraps, and tacos at Applebee's. While the salads and soups sound healthy, you must skip the Fiesta Chopped Salad and Loaded Potato Soup at Applebee's. It is also advised to dodge the Three Cheese Chicken Penne and Chicken Fajita Rollup. Any main meal with over 100mg cholesterol is not idle for someone with high cholesterol. So, skip those items at Applebee's.
Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Food was great as always, but our waiter, John C is horrible. All he did was sit at a table...we had to stare him down and most time he never came....we had 3 people in our party 2 women and one male....he asked the women if they wanted dessert and didn't even acknowledge the male. Then brought the bill without even asking him...I had to speak up about that.....like I said food was great waiter absolutely horrible! !!!

You can always get a good meal with friendly service at the Applebee's in Crofton, MD! If you are looking for light-fare ... The Fiesta Chicken chopped salad is Excellent.

Stopped by here tonight with my boyfriend to get a quick meal before a class. Now my boyfriend has never liked Applebee's. I always thought you couldn't beat 2 for 20. I was wrong. Service was great. Food- not so much. I decided to try something rather than my usual chicken tenders basket and got a 7oz sirloin medium, veggies and mashed potatoes. Man if I could go back..(wouldn't go here..) The sirloin may as well have been chewed up and spit back out. That's how appealing it was. I had two bites, one of which I DID chew up and spit back out. The veggies were old and mush. The mashed potatoes were edible. My boyfriend went for the 9oz. (Couldn't get through half of it.) He ended up munching on French fries. So really we ended up paying 30 bucks for mashed potatoes, French fries, and a diet soda. No thanks, never again.

I have eaten at this Applebee's at least a dozen times and have always been generally pleased. Good menu with plenty of choices. Decent alcoholic drink menu be it mixed cocktails or beer. Servers (waiter/waitress) have always been friendly and attentive. Manager always comes around to make sure everything is running smooth. And, I love the atmosphere; tv's everywhere with any major sports event available. Also, love the new touch screens on the tables. You can play games, check ur bill, call ur server, order and a couple other things as well. Can't wait to go here again.

I haven't been to this Applebee's in at least six months and a lot has changed. They have redesigned the bar and added a sports theme to the entire restaurant. It was a welcome change. As for the food, ok it is still Applebee's but the bartender was great and the manager always comes around and checks on the customers. So if your on a budget and need someplace with a fresh look, try this Applebee's location.

I've been to this Applebee's plenty of times before and never had a problem. The food isn't all that great it's mediocre food but food is food to me. Today was like no other day. I haven't been to this place in a while and I ordered the fiesta lime chicken because I was in the mood for chicken. ....I regret with all my life ordering this. I got food poisoning a few hours later consuming this. It was completely terrible. Of all the times I come to this place this one time I order chicken and they screw it up. Word of advice. ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS check the chicken before eating it no matter where you are. I will never eat at an Applebee's again.

I agree with a previous post - I am disappointed that there are no Happy Hour Specials between 4-7. Service last night was lacking - the waitress was too quick to bring the check without asking if we wanted more drinks or dessert. The place was pretty empty - especially for a Friday night so I'm not sure why she was rushing us. Food was good and reasonably priced but I would much rather go someplace else with HH specials and a more fun atmosphere.

Meh, probably one of my least favorites of the chain restaurants. It's ok in a pinch, but I don't seek it out.

I've had bad Applebee's before and this place really isn't bad! Seriously! This place is WAY better than the one near where we use to live in California. That place was bad! The servers are nice and there is always something here the kids will eat. Sometimes, you just want something that you know will taste good. And it's always busy here - even during the week which is a good sign because the food is fresh. This is definitely our go-to spot if we want to spend a little bit of money for sit down service.

This past weekend I was out in Crofton at the Chapel Town Center shopping with my signifcant other and we decided to grab some lunch at this Applebees location. Not a big fan of Applebees, but I really liked the sports theme at this location, and it was actually CLEAN. The food and service was actually pretty good as well. No complaints...would probably eat there again if I was shopping in the area.

I'm giving 5 stars namely because of the staff and service at this particular location. My boyfriend and I eat here a lot when we can't decide exactly what we're in the mood for, Applebee's has a good assortment of everything from steaks, burgers, salads, soups, beverages, etc. The staff are always super friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The food is always good, nothing has ever been over cooked or left out (cold). It's disappointing that they've taken some things off the menu as they were my favorites (the original platter nachos and the blondie dessert have been greatly missed) but it's a chain so that tends to happen. This is a great location! As a side note, shame on those of you who single people out BY NAME when giving negative reviews. I am absolutely against that. There are a few bad eggs from time to time but 9 times out of 10, misunderstandings/miscommunication are the cause of negative experiences and this can certainly happen very easily when it gets busy. EVERYONE makes mistakes, let's not go out of our way to publicly tarnish the reputation of an individual because he/she wasn't practically reading your mind from the moment you walked through the door.

First this review will solely be based on my restaurant experience as an employee and from a customer standpoint. The place was empty but swarming full of employees with no customers to assist. With that being said my friend and I decided to sit at the bar and the bar area was dirty. The bartender cleaned up the glassware and wiped the bar with a napkin. Then with little to no excitement proceeded to assist us. As we waited on our food, I noticed employees were lodging around, eating food in different areas of the restaurant....in my opinion I know jobs are well needed but why have so many staff members there when obviously you are slow. The food was good no complaints there but if someone mentions Applebees I wont give this location another chance. Now I genuinely appreciate when managers would advise me to not hang out in groups throughout the restaurant or to eat in the common area because it gives a bad appearance and experience to the customers. Maybe this is something Applebees should make note of.

Overall just another Applebees. Came here with the wife cause she wanted after work dinner and picked here. Bar tender was super friendly. We also were fortunate enough to get those after hour 1/2 off appetizers! Always nice to save some money. Gotta say, I'm a fan of their Krispy chicken wonton app. Lots of flavor and perfect amount of food for two people to share; make sure to squeeze some lime on it to add that extra punch. Didn't really try the mac n cheese with chicken and bacon but my beautiful addition said it was heavy and the chicken is a little too sweet for the dish. Not a bad place, if your cravin that big chain food.

This was the first time trying this Applebee's location. This was the only place open other than the usual late night drive thru's. I stopped in about 45 mins before closing after a long flight from BWI. The misses and I was told the kitchen was still open by the bartender. The bartender was extremely nice and checked on us often. The food was good and I was really shocked because normally when you go to location close to closing time the service can be really bad or just average.

I've eaten at Applebee's for as long as I can remember and have always loved the atmosphere and the food. That being said, why on Earth would the corporate penny pinchers change a good thing? Have they never heard "If it's not broke, don't fix it?" I went last night and found the usual welcoming, fun, happy environment and elite staff but found a menu full of nothing I've grown to love over the years! When I questioned the waitress, she told me that certain locations had been used as test sites for new menus. Really?! I can can completely understand adding things, taking away things that aren't big money grabbers but a complete overhaul is ridiculous! Thanks to the great waitress, Brittany's help, patience and knowledge of the menu, I was finally able to find something but honestly if it hadn't been for her, I would have left and went somewhere else. Applebee's should pay more attention to the fact that they have great staff than whether or not the menu is being revamped otherwise long standing customers will walk right on out and hit the Olive Garden who changes things but still keeps the good old reliables that's brought them the customers who have returned for years. In a world where we're all counting pennies and calories, we're not going to waste either on something we haven't even ever heard of.

I love this Applebees! I go here just about every other week for lunch. I tend to always get something different, and I haven't been disappointed yet. I'm aware is standard American chain food, so I don't expect anything extravagantly delicious. But I'm usually generally satisfied with whatever I get. Granted it's usually lunch time when I go, it's always very clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Their margaritas are pretty good, too. No complaints here!

What the hell did I just put into my body? And why do I immediately want to purge myself of it? Applebee's falls into the "Americans will eat styrofoam peanuts if we deep-fry them and cover them with melted cheese" school of cuisine. And, man, that may have been the worst food I've gotten at a chain restaurant yet. I ordered the "orange chicken", assuming it would be fairly innocuous Chinese-ish food. Wrong. What I got was McDonald's chicken nuggets covered in orange Kool-aid thickened with corn starch. On top of Uncle Ben's lemon-herb rice. It was absolutely putrid. The individual flavors, which were already disgusting, were only made worse by being combined in this conflagration apparently conceived of in the fourth ring of Hell. Ugh. Gah. Blah.

We really had a taste for Applebee's but wanted to take it home. So we were going to order curbside takeout. Well after calling 3 times and being placed on hold for at least 5 minutes each call, it was obvious that maybe our order was not IMPORTANT to this Applebee's. Off to another restaurant that cares.

Rianna D.
Where to begin. First lets talk about the appetizers. Pot stickers were TINY and the thai peanut wings were dissapointing. They were over fried, so nice and dry and no flavor or that pow of peanut flavor you'd expect. Second I ordered a steak, which was a cheap cut that it was as light as pork even had the consistency of pork! Plus it tasted terrible and wasn't even cooked right. So I returned it and ordered a pecan crusted chicken salad which was good. Not the steak though my pregnancy cravings are screaming for...anyways. gave a gift card and cash to pay. The waitress actually rang in the cash FIRST then the gift card...wtf. I have waitressed and worked retail since I was 14 and know that you always ring up the gift card first! I ended up just leaving the gift card there. We will not be going back to this place. The 2 positive things are the waitress was nice and my french onion soup was delicous. We were not that impressed with the manager, he didn't seem to care.

Cecilia P.
Do not get curbside service! This is the first time we tried it and never again. Husband went to pick up order and didn't check it before driving off because the bag had the correct receipt on it. After arriving home, nothing was right. After calling, I drove back and long, long story short, the order was wrong three times!! After getting two of the entrees correct, I had to sit in the car for 20 min. waiting for the third entree to finally come out correct. I saw shrimp through the container and thought it was right. Guess what? I got home and it was another shrimp dish and the spicy one that I didn't want. Sigh. The manager needs to start managing. I mean how hard is it to put the right food in the right bag?

Unfortunately, we were a bit early for the late night menu! Oh well, a friend and I stopped in after her workshift and split onion rings, boneless wings, and some beers. It's a solid place for some bar appetizers.

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.

Second I ordered a steak, which was a cheap cut that it was as light as pork even had the consistency of pork! Plus it tasted terrible and wasn't even cooked right. So I returned it and ordered a pecan crusted chicken salad which was good. Not the steak though my pregnancy cravings are screaming for...anyways. gave a gift card and cash to pay. The waitress actually rang in the cash FIRST then the gift card...wtf. I have waitressed and worked retail since I was 14 and know that you always ring up the gift card first! I ended up just leaving the gift card there. We will not be going back to this place. The 2 positive things are the waitress was nice and my french onion soup was delicous. We were not that impressed with the manager, he didn't seem to care.

Do not get curbside service! This is the first time we tried it and never again. Husband went to pick up order and didn't check it before driving off because the bag had the correct receipt on it. After arriving home, nothing was right. After calling, I drove back and long, long story short, the order was wrong three times!! After getting two of the entrees correct, I had to sit in the car for 20 min. waiting for the third entree to finally come out correct. I saw shrimp through the container and thought it was right. Guess what? I got home and it was another shrimp dish and the spicy one that I didn't want. Sigh. The manager needs to start managing. I mean how hard is it to put the right food in the right bag?

Unfortunately, we were a bit early for the late night menu! Oh well, a friend and I stopped in after her workshift and split onion rings, boneless wings, and some beers. It's a solid place for some bar appetizers.
