All you can eat ribs, shrimp and boneless chicken wings is back at Applebees. This special comes with endless fries and Cole slaw for $12.99. Food came out hot and tasty. Service was fast bring out as much as you want. Even the manager served us to get the order out faster. Applebees also have monthly drinks from the bar for $1. This year`s special is even better than last time they had it because it offers boneless wings. Recommend to all who like to eat good food at a good price.

New special with 25 cent boneless wings. Wings were good but kind of tacky to offer just the classic sauce and no other sauces. Additional charge if you want other sauces. Took long time for wings to come out with no one really in the restaurant. Had to wait a while to be seated while 4 to5 people there were talking and having a good time. Even reordering took a while. Not sure if we will be going back.

We decided to try Applebee's because of the prodding of my brothers. The restaurant is similar to TGIF and still offer the same dishes.
What's different is that they have a sports bar and the service is so good.

We went for a lunch and I ordered the Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders from the 2 for $26 menu with ice tea. The pasta was soggy and chicken over-cooked and just did not taste right. The server Kayla did offer to get me something else but I declined as in a hurry and thought maybe it was just me. Immediately after leaving the restaurant I started having stomach pains and rushed into the Lowe's next door to use the bathroom. Needless to say the meal came and went. My husband had the Fiesta Lime Chicken with no issues.

The Riblets are the best choice of the 3 for 12.99. Eat like you're going to the electric chair.
The second choice is the boneless breaded chicken wings. Lots of breading.
The final choice is the shrimp, a different breading, not as heavy.
I would recommend the Riblets overall and I enjoyed the spicy Texas barbeque sauce.
This bargain comes with fries that were perfectly seasoned and Cole slaw.
Big eaters can't go wrong with this deal and the server was wonderful.

Here I am, 75 years old and I’d never been in an Applebees. Sad, but now we’ve been there 3 times in two weeks. We sat at the bar and were served by Keith who was a wonderful guy. We had quesadilla chicken salad and an oriental chicken salad. Both delicious. We also had drinks. I’ve had, ahem, quite a few Long Island Ice Teas in my life and, I must say, Keith and one of his sidekicks have the right ratio. Our visits have been most enjoyable.

I usually avoid chain restaurants as after many visits, the food all tastes the same. Therefore, I have avoided Applebee's for at least the last 4 years. However, we were right near the Manchester, NJ Applebee's recently and dropped in for a quick meal.
I was totally surprised to discover a different menu and food that was remarkably tasty. I will go back again soon, and this time I will look forward to it.

My wife and I went for lunch to try the all you can eat special. To tell you the truth we do not always go to Applebee's because it is not our favorite place to go. We were pleasantly surprised how good it was. The hostess was very friendly and got us a table we requested very fast. The restaurant is very clean and bright with all decorations of the community. The waitress, named Janice, was friendly, fast and helpful. We liked the Riblets, shrimp and chicken tenders in that order. They give you a choice of three sauces for the ribs. Also included is endless fries and cole slaw. The only con was the food comes out very slowly. Really a great deal for $14.99 person. Would recommend this Manchester Applebee's and this special.

We live around the corner and the curbside pick-up is super convenient. You place the order on the Applebee's app and within 15 min your food is ready for pick-up. Its pretty foolproof. The only gripes I have is that you can't make substitutions or ask for extras on the app which is frustrating. Also there have been times where we haven't received our complete order. Other that that, its Applebee's. You know what you're getting. The food is relatively consistent. To be honest, if it weren't for the convenience of the curbside pickup then we may not order as often. Our favorites include the Boneless Wings, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Fiesta Lime Chicken and the BBQ Braised Beef Tacos.

The service is good and the food choices are many. Get sauces on the side because some can be very spicy.
FYI All the shrimp they have are blackened

Everything we all love about Applebee's is knowing what you get. Food done properly, good drinks and pleasant service. Top to beat that.

The food was typical of Applebee’s. Everything tasted good. We didn’t get a lot of beverage service for some reason. The waitresses I think were too busy talking. Food was great management was good

Just average nothing that stands out. Wanted to order burboun other than Wild Turkey but the bartender was to frazzled (her words) to let us know. Other than that just like any other Applebees.

Once you've been to an Applebee's you've been to them all. The only thing that changes is the wait staff. They are pretty friendly, not overly...but just friendly, at least one doesn't have to chase after them.
Don't get the specials, they seem to use food stuffs that do not sell too much and they place them on the specials. Our experience, food tasted old, way too salty to hide the age of the meat (chicken).
Typical sports bar, not a date or date night for couples, not unless you enjoy loudness.

This location is not as busy as some, which is a plus. The food is always good, drinks too. Prompt service.
