Waiting period on Fridays was around 20 minutes. They sit you down to the side and will come to get you when the tables open. The food was decent and the waitress Jayden was adorable and took care of our table like we were royalty My friends enjoyed Jayden service as well. The applebee environment was busy and felt like this is a normal day.

Our dinner last night was very tasteful. Not sure if they have a new chef but thus far, he/she is my all time favorite.

Food was delicious! My lettuce wrap chicken sandwich was fantastic! Some places will just throw the contents of the burger on your plate but my sandwich was nicely presented and the bacon was generously applied! Service was wonderful and restaurant was clean! 5 stars all around!! Corrina was a great server too!

We order carryout from this location a lot, and we've always had a great experience. Ordering is easy on the app. Our food is always ready, hot and correct. Service is excellent. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant. Prices are reasonable for what you get. There are so many excellent menu choices. I haven't had a bad meal yet. We ate inside today for dinner and had another great experience. The restaurant is very clean. The food was excellent. The host that seated us was very welcoming and friendly. The best part of our meal was our server Eve. This young lady was simply amazing, just exceptional. If every restaurant had a staff full of Eve, dining out would be great everywhere. She was so friendly, really cared about our food and experience. If you eat here, ask to sit in Eve's section.

I tried their sweet and spicy chicken sandwich for the first time, and it was good. Got an extra order of waffle fries for later. I ordered via Uber Eats, so the wait time was about 45 minutes. Usually, I'd order their chicken and broccoli Alfredo or ribs platter but tried something different. The Asian sauce wasn't my favorite, and the sandwich I received didn't mirror the one they had in the menu. I expected it to be a little sweeter and way less tangy.

The food was great and the atmosphere was nice and calm. Only issue was that they are understaffed and it took a long time for us to be seated despite being the only ones at the door.

Very nice and clean restaurant. Every time I go it's always great. The bartender Jess I believe is her name is wonderful and always has a smile on her face. My waiter Tre was very friendly and always made sure to come to the table and check on us. New Pub fries 10/10.
