Applebee's Grill + Bar 253 Wilkes Barre Township Boulevard, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701

"Started with the pretzel appetizer, which included 4 nice size pretzel logs, an ample amount of dipping cheese sauce and mustard. Ordered a burger and chicken sandwiches, both were served hot and delicious."

"Came in to enjoy the endless special that included boneless wings, riblets and shrimp. The wings were nice and tender, and the riblets also had a nice tender bite without being to tough or chewy. Overall, the experience was very good."

"During a business trip I ate there twice for dinner. The ribs were dry, but everything else was good. It was casually busy, but kinda quiet and peaceful. The staff was fantastic so please tip well."

"After a fairly busy Saturday, we decided on a whim to dine at Applebee's for dinner, and were pleased that we did. We arrived in the late afternoon/early evening and we were seated immediately in the moderately crowded restaurant. Our server was extremely pleasant, and brought our drinks promptly, and allowed us some time to choose from a varied menu. For appetizers, we ordered Brew Pub Pretzels and Beer Cheese Dip, and a bowl of tomato basil soup. The former consisted of four soft and hot pretzel sticks with the dip and a side of delicious honey mustard sauce. There was plenty of dip available even after the pretzels were devoured. The soup was also delicious and highly recommended. The main entrees were pretty good. The 4-cheese Mac and Cheese with honey pepper chicken strips was adequate, but somewhat bland. I had to really mix up the pasta, as all the cheese sauce rested at the very bottom, and I didn't even taste the pepper flavor on the strips, which had more batter than chicken. Once the pasta was tossed, cheese sauce was more pronounced and saved the meal otherwise. The Oriental Grilled Chicken salad was decent, but unlike the pasta, was a tad salty. Strawberries were added, which fortunately offset the saltines, and again, turned out to be adequate. If there were a 3½ star rating, I would have chosen that. Overall, the meal was decent, but some improvements could be made. We didn't regret our dining choice, but with a lot of competing restaurants in the immediate area, we probably won't visit again for a while."

"Extremely good service for being short staffed. Gillian was great. She was friendly and fast. The manager here tonight was great. He knew they only has 2 servers and had some people wait before they were seated which was awesome. A manager that knew the ability of his wait staff. He was also serving tables as well. This manager definately knows how to run this place. Its very seldom that I see managers seat only what they can handle. By doing so the customer experience was great."
