Applebee’s

Let me start off by saying that I’ve been to my fair share of Applebee’s. None like this.
You often enter the front door here, and wait around for someone to seat you, and when you are seated i hope you’re not thirsty because it takes about 15 minutes to get drinks. That’s been everytime I’ve come and its been 3 – 4 times now. When we’re seated we’re told our servers name is Lyndsay, she came to our table about 10 minutes after being seated and took our drink order. We only saw her one more time when she brought the drinks 5 minutes later. Then we see her sweeping, walking around, cleaning tables and another waitress takes over our table without saying anything. Uh… okay i guess? The new waitress, Alexis is FAST and ON everything you ask for (Shes the only reason i gave 2 stars)
The food was as always, i personally like Applebee’s food i think it has a good taste, for a good price. My husband and I can order an appetizer, 2 drinks and 2 meals for under $ 40. I recently ate at Black Angus and spent $ 66 on food that tasted like dirt, so this food is waaay better than that Black Angus bull$#!+.
Anyways, something happened to me the last time i ate here, that has never happened before… I was up all night vomiting, and i had felt fine before i ate. I don’t know what went wrong, to be honest. Besides that, everything tasted good, and after Alexis took over it was quick service.

There’s so many food places to choose from in the area, choose those places instead of here. Staff is good, the food isn’t.

the food was great. we got all of the happy hour appetizers. The service however was disgraceful. don’t expect anything without asking for it. want more than one napkin, not unless you ask. want a refill, not unless you ask. pretty much they don’t do anything unless you ask. they need to up their customer service skills.

Very disappointed! Got an new steak dinner item which stated on the menu «choice of 2 sides» only to discover you don’t since it’s a new item that they are introducing. Waitress did not have the decency to ask «how do you like you steak cooked?» Daughter ordered Mac and cheese off the kids menu to find out 10 min later they ran out.” Long story short, the dinner sucked and they just lost a customer over $ 70 BS bill. Wake up management or this establishment will be closed soon.

Indira tonight was awefull. She was tacky and payed more attention to the people at the bar then us who were the last two eating and didn’t bring me no extra ranch like I had asked for. No waters. The salad I got was so so. And the happy hour sucks here. I could have gone to my other spot and got way better service, more food and better service for the same price. Let just say I won’t be back. she was terrible. Indira. I hope you learn a lesson and not make this your end all be all job. Because you sucked and management should have a talk with your aweful services I would have tipped way better. But that’s why you all get one star. And this isn’t the first time we have had you either as a server.

I do enjoy Applebees late night happy hour, but this time it was not that great of an experience. There was only bartender on a Saturday night, the manager was washing dishes, took forever to get a drink, if it was remembered and the food was ok, seemed to just be off a hair. Dont think I’ll be stopping by this one again. Two stars because the two people working were working their butts off and the bartender was very friendly.

I don’t remember the last time I was at an Applebee’s. So, when I drove by, it brought back fond memories of my friends and I having dinner at an Applebee’s. And, that is how I made the decision to dine here.
It was about 7p.m. at night, and we were seated quickly. After we were shown our table, we wanted to wash our hands first. The bathroom was beyond pleasant, clean, and fully stocked.
When we returned, Lyndsey R waited on us right away. She was very friendly to my son, and I appreciated her friendliness. I ordered the Sizzling Bourbon St. Chicken and Shrimp $ 13.75, and I split it with my son.
He said it was delicious, and I agreed with him. I initially thought this entrée would be spicy, but Lyndsey assured me that it is not. And, it is the number 1 question she receives about this dish.
I was pleasantly surprised on how efficient and friendly Lyndsey was as our waitress. I will say that she made our dining experience a very pleasant one.
Thank you.

I know this is Applebee’s and I shouldn’t expect much but still. My boyfriend and I went about a week ago and when we came in, no employees to be found. We stood at the front for about 10 minutes before my boyfriend called the restaurant and asked the person who answered the phone to come and seat us. That’s embarrassing. Service was slow and the food was just eh. I went back today because I had a gift card and got take out. I paid for extra bacon and my hamburger came with two strips of bacon. Do they usually only put one strip on it? I got BBQ seasoned fries that were ICE COLD. I know usually when you get food to go it can cool off on the ride home but I literally live across the street from the restaurant. I asked for my burger pink too and it was cooked to death. I also got a small bite brownie for dessert and the ‘hot fudge’ was literally microwaved chocolate pudding. The brownie was dry also. Overall, even though they’re ‘casual dining’ it’s not worth the price at all. I could’ve gone across the street to Siggy’s and gotten food a hundred times better from a FAST FOOD establishment and for the same price.

Went here to have dinner the other night and it was bad service in the beginning and got a little better.
We were seating very fast and were given menus and was waiting for our waitress.
We noticed multiple people being seated after about 5 minutes of being there and still hadn’t met our waitress. 5 more minutes and she finally comes to the table and seemed to have attitude. Didn’t appreciate that.
The food was alright and service was average. Have had better service.

Food was the same as other locations but service is the best and it look like a older location

Forgot our shakes, took 15 minutes to be greeted, server was sweet but forgetful. Manager working tonight has very poor management skills and does NOT know how to react to customers who are unhappy with their visit. Need new managers asap.

I gotta give these guys props for a half dozen meals here that left us satisfied every time, including last night where there was a «hiccup» during our meal.
We had the bourbon steak and the lime chicken with an iced tea and Shocktop on tap and a side Caesar salad to split. My steak was tasty and juicy, cooked just the way I asked. (Medium) The sauteed onions and mushrooms were a nice touch and the red potatoes rounded out the meal.
My wife noticed immediately that the rice on her plate was crunchy dry, inedible really… Once we got the managers’ attention and told him about it, we asked for some fries instead which he brought out. Our server came by in a bit and said he noticed we had a problem, explained the rice problem and he came back with another side of fries. My wife DID like the lime chicken! With the salad and fries she was a satisfied customer again.
At the end of the meal our server then brought us a brownie bites dessert, no charge! We did not expect them to do so much to make sure we were happy and going to come back. My wife is very forgiving and rarely has any problems with her food when we go out. We told our server that we really didn’t need a desert to get us to come back but it was still a nice gesture. Overall, the food at Applebee’s is really average chain fare but when we don’t feel like cooking it’s a nice place for a decent meal, and we are always well taken care of here so I’m giving 4 stars.

Good service. I had the Thai Shrimp Salad, which was very good. Manager seems very involved, greeting customers, etc. Which is a good thing.

Way better service than we’re used to. Indira was awesome! Friendly, helpful and the food was BOMB! seriously you gotta try the new Blazin Texan Burger!!!

It’s been years since I’ve patronized this type of place. I’m more of a BOA type person. I like how the menu has changed but the food isn’t that great. My son took 1 bite of the pizza & pushed it aside. I ordered the lime chicken. Wasn’t terrible. Wasn’t great. Basically, this is a affordable place with okay food.

Great service, had salmon with an artichoke tampenade grilled potatoes and zucchini on a bed of spinach, it was so delicious I ate the whole thing.
Awesome, my waitress was attentive and winderful.
I will defiantly eat here again

We walked in and they weren’t too busy so we sat at a booth. The server was very quick to get our drink orders. When he came back with the drinks, he took our order. We had a very hungry 3-​year-​old and asked the waiter if they could rush his food. The waiter assured us that we would get it as soon as possible. Then the waiting began. We all had finished our drinks when the waiter finally came back to see if we needed more and he provided refills. He assured us that our food was coming out. We waited more. Finally the food arrived for two of the four people at our table. The child’s meal was not one of them. We all waited to start eating until everyone had their food so the two that came out first were cold by the time the other food came out.
Boy, was it disappointing! The child’s plate was $ 5 and came with a mini slider with a child’s handful of fries. There was more empty space on the plate than food. Wendy’s gives more food in their child’s meal and it’s only $ 4 ($ 2 after 4PM). My food tasted good but for $ 14, I expected a lot more than a lunch portion. I was missing my breadsticks and the server said they would be right out. We also asked for mustard for the slider. My son finished his slider and I was almost finished my meal when the server finally came back with the breadsticks and no mustard.
We then asked for an Iced Tea refill and the server left. The server took forever to come back with the refill. I was just about to get up when he came back with the refill but he didn’t bring ice. I should’ve complained to the manager but we were done with this place.
Expensive food, small portions and SLOOOOOOW service. We will not be back to this AppleBee’s again. It’s a shame because I’ve been to a lot of different locations and have always left happy.

Came with a party of 8. Service was good; had no problems.
Ordered a chicken fajita roll with free refills of fries. $ 9.99
–Disappointed. Do not order this. It was soggy from some juicing from the vegetables and the portion was very small. Around the size of one fist, but slightly bigger.
–The BBQ-​spiced fries are ok. They are regular fries with bbq-​spices shaked on top.
Friends enjoyed the burgers and the steak.

I’ve been to this Applebee’s on several occasions. Temecula is like a second home to me. I come out here at least once a month. There are many good places to eat and this Applebee’s is one of them. I really love their spinach and artichoke dip. It’s super cheesy, flavorful and always comes out piping hot. Its served with house-​made chips and salsa. They have the 2 for $ 20 or 2 for $ 25 specials for lunch. There are many dishes to choose from and with those specials, you get an appetizer to share and a meal for you and another person. Every appetizer and meal in the regular menu isn’t available on the special «2 for» menu and they won’t allow you to substitute.
I also like that their menu has Weight Watcher points for several different plates. I’m not on Weight Watchers, but seeing it in the menu makes me conscious of what I’m ordering and «sometimes» make better choices. Service has always been great! From the time that we’ve walked in and been seated until we left, I have never experienced any issues. The food is always good and pretty much exactly what I expected when I ordered it.

I always come in for the 2 for 20 or just happy hour and I can say you cant go wrong with either one. Drinks are good and food is good specially for the great prices.
