Applebee's Grill + Bar 14678 Cedar Avenue, Apple Valley, MN 55124

"Waited at least a full hour before food was delivered and it was only some of the food at a time with long waits in between. When my food finally came out it was cold so I politely asked them to reheat it. Wasn't an issue and our server, Melissa, was very nice about it. That was another hour and a half wait without food. Some of the tables around us were having issues too with not being served and long waits while people in large parties were coming in after us and they would be served right way and got their full table food before many of us. One waitress was extremely rude to the table behind us but the waitress who served us, her name was Melissa and she was truly a sweetheart. The actual manager on duty was nice and apologetic as well. Just disappointing as Ive never had this happen to me at Applebees.I will be back just let down with this particular experience. They had suddenly gotten busy and I will admit, we had gone out to this location at a bad time, it was one of the few places open later during a winter snowstorm so Im sure they weren't expecting the place to get as busy as it did. In the end the manager was able to compensate several items which was nice."

"We entered Applebee's and had a very short wait. We were seated at a clean and comfy booth. The server took our beverage and app orders quickly. Soon afterwards we had drinks and a sampler of appetizers. The spinach and artichoke dip and chips was tasty. My family enjoyed the buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, mini quesadillas and celery too. My husband really enjoyed the shrimp and steak. The rice was cooked well, yet needed more flavor. My son and I thought the burgers were delicious. The fries were good. The lettuce was iceberg, which my daughter and I don't like as much. We prefer a greener option. My other kids liked their yogurt and strawberries, mac and cheese and taco. We had a great meal and experience overall. There are several televisions with different sporting events to watch for those interested as well as background pictures of the Vikings and parks in the area etc . ."

"Waited over 25 minutes for a server to even acknowledge we were seated while 3 others literally looked at us. Another five for waters to show up. Was able to play an entire game of cribbage before our food came. The waiter took our silverware so we had to finish eating our chicken wings with knives because he didn't bother to come back. I would highly recommend the Buffalo Wild Wings that conveniently shares a parking lot with this establishment."

"I had a very relaxed and delicious lunch with a friend today at the Applebee’s Restaurant in Apple Valley, MN. We ordered a “Pick Two” full-size entrées with two side salads or an appetizer for the value price of only $32.00. The food and service were both great and they gave my friend a complementary brownie dessert for her birthday."

"Our family got the “All you can eat” deal. Well, let me tell you.. it was very delicious. Look, I’m not comparing Applebee’s with any other restaurant. The food was great, including ribs, chicken, shrimp and honestly I’m going to keep coming with my family for this deal. 4 out of 5 is an amazing review coming from me, specially if it is a Food Chain Restaurant."
