Applebee's Grill + Bar - Restaurant in Santa Maria - Costco Power Shopping Center, 1415 S Bradley Rd, USA

This place has a good football crowd. Food is ok and the drinks are not bad. Food has a much better taste to it than times before. Very friendly staff. I very much enjoy spending time here with the people and the sports. I spend some good time here. They staff is awesome, food is good and the jokes are always flying. Happy hour 3 to 6, then 9 til close. Ask for the half price combo. It's the secret menu. I do have a problem with the TV situation. We need the TVs back in the bar so we dont have to look through other people to watch the game. People think we are staring at them because we have to look that way. Applebees did a remodel and it looks good. They took away some TVs, not good and bar tvs should come back.

Wow! Hadn't been in awhile. Was great!! Rob, our waiter was on it. He has the very best upbeat attitude. Very funny. My full rack of BBQ RIBS??? TO DIE FOR. MOIST, tenders loaded with sauce. Ask for lots of napkins. Mashed potatoes, yummy!! Great eats!

Wife and I order the 2 for 20 deal and ended up getting charged for our meal as separate entrees and never received our appetizer. The waitress even came back and verified our order and said the appetizer would be out shortly. I was not gonna make a fuss over a $5 increase in price but I would of liked my appetizer since i order it.

The 7$ drinks were good, place was okay. Food did come out delicious and when we corrected our order they did get it right and were very helpful and friendly. Servers could be more on it about checking in on their customers. We had a good time overall took the family.

I ordered the Tex mex shrimp bowl but there was no guacamole and the tomato in the pico de gallo tasted overripe.😒😒😒

The only hilight for my birthday meal was our server.. The raspberry tea was nasty tasting, I ordered riblet with mashed potatoes. The potatoes had NO flavor! I added so much salt/pepper the riblets were funky also I brought it home for my dog. I didn't send it back because the two for 26$ menu had a burger I could order, but hubby ordered that, it was dripping and oozing oily grease..

Good food and drinks. We usually have baby back ribs and is always delicious, the mac n cheese was also delicious. The only bad point is the long waiting time which is quite understandable during covid and staff shortage.

Great options. Delicious food.
