We only eat at Applebee's when we are traveling and can't find a more interesting place. This was right next to our hotel and the salads that we both had were better than we expected. The Tex-Mex Shrimp bowl could have used more lettuce, but...was otherwise tasty.More

The biggest advantage is that it shares a parking lot with Country Suites so no need to drive for food. The down side is that it is very busy.

Tonight after returning home from a trip all I wanted was to have a good dinner delivered... we used door dash. The delivery person completely messed up our order. After trying fruitlessly to reach door dash I called Applebees. I spoke with Katie and explained...what happened. She was amazing. Within 20 minutes we were able to pick up the correct order. She let us know she had contacted Door Dash and just went above and beyond to make sure it was right. Thank you!!!More

Stopped in here on a Sunday night. There was 4 of us. We went with the 2 for $22.00 special. Our server friendly and very attentive to us. The food came out fairly quickly and tasted fine. My fries were a little cold and not...very crispy but still edible. It all comes down to you get what you pay for. The food pretty much matched the price paid.More

My son was given a closed container of applesauce that was at least 3 weeks out of date. My server was apologetic and replaced with different item. I was told the managed would come talk to me... That never happened. I was charged full price...for everything. I will never be back.... Applebees cottage grove minnesotaMore

Went for lunch today while running errands, had a rare time off at the same time as my husband. Were seated quickly, the place was nearly empty, and it took about ten minutes for waiter to come over to get drink orders, then another ten...to bring them. We waited what was probably another ten minutes for him to come to take our orders, then at least a half an hour to get the food. I got assorted appetizers - the wings were cold under warm sauce, the onion rings were ok, the spinach dip blazing hot with stale chips. My husband's food was better as far as being warm. I was seriously wondering if they ordered car side to go from a different Applebee's and drove to get it - they sure took enough time! We ordered iced tea and flavored lemonade. Tea was most likely a powder mix - ick. The raspberry lemonade was really good, it's too bad a refill was never offered, and when it was requested, it was brought just before the check, and he didn't want it any more. When requesting the refill, we told the waiter we were in a bit of a hurry and needed a box and the check. It was ten more minutes before that happened. Subpar food, subpar service. Wendy's would have been a better choice today, I guess.More

Haven’t been to CG Applebee’s in a long time. Decided to go for lunch today. Mistake. Took half hour for appetizer and awhile after for our main meal. My main meal wasn’t what I ordered. I told the person that brought the food out it...wasn’t right. She offered to correct it. I wasn’t going to waiting another 45 mn for a new meal so I said no. Never saw a manager the entire time we were there. There was a young girl sitting at a different table complaining about how long the food was taking. She even noticed. We don’t have many restaurants in CG so we are counting on the few we have to be good and would like a pleasant experience.More

Just ordered a to go order and got home. Requested no croutons and they added croutons, I requested no parm cheese on my soup and there was parm cheese added to the soup, asked for no tomato on one burger and they got that right....For the second burger, they forgot the tomato and the extra tomato I ordered and the pickles. I know I won't die without them, but if they provide a detailed on line order form for the customer, it would be nice if they followed it! When I place an order to go, there is always, always, always things wrong with the order. Will be a long time before I try again.More

Nothing overly special, and thankfully, nothing negative to say as well. Food arrives hot, in a timely fashion, and exactly how you expect.

Because our city only had a few restaurants to offer "The Hive"as my teenager calls it was a staple.. I'm not a huge fan of the unhealthy menu but the salmon minus the glaze is really good. The teenagers visit this place after home football...games. The wait staff usually does a nice job accommodating the the chaos.. Hailey is my favorite waitress. She works really hard and gets to know her customers.. For a chain I would give them a 5. For it being a chain it gets a 4.More

Met a buddy here last night to catch up and grab dinner. It was great that all burgers were 6.99 and even the tall beers weren't too expensive. For those who need to stay overnight, it's right next door to a hotel.
