    The food was standard however the service was very bad. Our waitress was not attentive and decided to hang out with her friends the whole evening in the booth across from us. The drinks, food, and check took too long to come to our table. Expectations were not met I hope it was just an off day for the restaurant and our server.

    We dod the 2 for $20 curbside service. We ordered the Citrus lime sirloin and Three Cheese Chicken penne pasta w spinach artichoke dip. This meal was really a disaster right from the beginning, the chips had so much salt on them we basically couldn't eat them the dip was fine. The steak was meant to be medium and was cooked like a hockey puck and had so much salty sauce on it it was mostly inedible. The pasta is nothing to write home about basically white penne pasta with a fettuccine sauce and three small pieces of chicken and a couple little pieces of tomato with a breadstick. We definitely won't eat here again it was just really really disappointing even for under 20 bucks.

    So nice to be there witnessing their dedication to our vets today! And food was really good.

    Food took and hour to get to us. When it did arrive, the presentation was horrible. Steak was cold and appeared grey in color. Chicken portabello had 3 shriveled up mushrooms and smothered in a cheap gravy with way too many onions. Woman that served it threw the plates on the table and ran away--I now know why. Manager was perplexed, as I had eaten the food by the time someone came to ask us if the food was okay. I was not going to wait another hour for more of the same crap. Been here several times before--Chillis from now on!

    I've been to this Applebee's dozens of times and I haven't had any complaints as of yet. All the servers are very friendly, the orders are always brought in a timely fashion. I would recommend going to this Applebee's if you enjoy friendly servers who like to get to know their customers and make sure you leave satisfied. Peg and Jess are 2 of the best servers there.

    Been here several times, as we live within 3 miles. Let's face it folks, this is chain restaurant food served and cooked by hard working, under-paid folks to minimum standards. Our previous visits were fine. But tonight.....our waitress was great, chatty, but great. She was very busy. I normally do not order steak in a restaurant, but I had previously had a fine steak here. Tonight I had a limey-steak thing. My back molars had a workout. My wife a similar dish, and she said it was great. Our 14 year old had a cheeseburger quesadilla thingee that he said was "weird", but.......he's 14. Applebee's be Applebee's, so don't expect much. The employees deserve better.

    The service was really great. Our waiter was consistent with us and made great suggestions. Even the manager came by to ask if everything was fine. One star missing because my boyfriend's pasta was a little over cooked and because their half price appetizers didn't start until 9 pm.

    they just changed their menu - which means they raised the prices. I used to like applebees because of quick service, decent food, and reasonable prices. but now the new menu moved many items from the 10 buck range, changed a few names, then moved them into the 14-15 buck range. Plus they took away the steak salad, one of my wife's faves. Never liked the booths - you sink into those cushions like the titanic, so when you order the 20 oz beer in the tall glass, the top of the glass is practically eye level - and i'm a big guy. I do like the comic pages placed above the urinal though - something to do while you're hanging out.

    This Applebees has given me bad food for the last time, and It has ruined the restaurant chain permanently for me. I order this blackened chicken and shrimp and it came out completely burnt and inedible, and the waitress didn't seem to care. Speaking of service, where is it? Servers are rarely present even when the place doesn't seem very busy; I've waited 15mins for a check to be returned. Point is, every time I go here, I wish I didn't; anywhere else in Ephrata is better.

    Ok. So I have been going to Applebee's for years. I usually with go with family. Lately it seems Applebee's it gearing more towards a younger atmosphere. I see it's usually busy late at night. Once in awhile I will go for dinner. I love the 2 for $20. Decent portions. French onion soup isn't good tho. It really is the only place to get a steak in ephrata. Mind you you have to make sure the steak is done the way you want it when they bring it out. I like mine well done and I've received a steak that was bloody. Not good. DO NOT DO CARSIDE CARSIDE has never been a good experience for me. The food is plopped on each other. Pasta is runny. Overall not good.

    The longer we go to this restaurant, the worse it seems to get. We went the opening night of the Ephrata Fair and as was to be expected most people were at the fair and Applebees was pretty empty. Our server said our meal should be served quickly because they weren't busy. She was right; it was served quickly. However, maybe the cooks should have taken a bit more time with it. My soda tasted funny and had to be sent back. Wife's salmon had very little flavor. Her spinach was overcooked and the potatoes were undercooked. The pulled pork sandwich was OK, but my french fries seemed like they had been under a heat lamp too long and definitely didn't taste like they were just cooked. They were tough and luke warm. The best thing about our visit was our server, Ashley, who was quick, attentive, and friendly. Ashley, find a better place to work.

    The food wasn't good at all and it was cold. Took a longtime to get my food. The only good thing is that the waitress was friendly.
