Applebee's Grill + Bar

Pearl Romero

Host was no where when we walked in. After almost 10 minutes, he walks towards us, no greeting, simply asked “for two?” I said “yes please” he proceeds to walk us to basically a “half booth” with a chair on the other side. Place was far from full, I asked him if we could get an actual full booth, to which he replied, “well you have to give me a few minutes” & walked away. I did see empty booths behind this horrible table he got for us, there was also a server attending that section. We simply walked out and drove 6 minutes down to Fridays, where thankfully, we had a much better experience. We had been driving for over an hour and needed something to eat, with all the competitors near them, you would think they would do better in making paying customers feel welcomed.

Picked up some delivery orders here for DoorDash. It's hit or miss sometimes with the staff. Seems like once the rush is over they send most of their staff home as soon as possible, so it can be a challenge to get tended to even though it's not busy. Way better than Chili's though, no doubt. Food is average. Service is average. Atmosphere is typical. Three stars, just my opinion.

Since food at Applebee's is fairly consistent, this review focuses on the experience at this location on Route 73 near the Turnpike and I-295. It is convenient to a number of hotels and residential neighborhoods in this exurban area across the river from Philly. Mix all these people together and you get some entertaining interactions in the bar area at times. Service at the bar is excellent, thanks to the fast, friendly and efficient Kristen, who remembers everyone, and is patient with even the most indecisive customers. I believe she has been here almost every night I have been in this area over the last few years. Service in the dining area can be spotty, as mentioned by other reviewers, possibly due to the labor shortage (also evident at other restaurants in the area). This is a real phenomenon at the current time. Aesthetically the dining area is more inviting at nearby Miller's Ale House or Chickie's & Pete's further down Route 73. Parking is plentiful thanks to the extended lot in back. If you just want a non-deep fried snack, try the house salad. It's great every time.
