Applebee's Grill + Bar - Restaurant in New Hope - 4203 Winnetka Ave N, USA

*** Each person has a different experience/taste *** We came for the "Late Night Half Price Appetizers". We had Boneless Wings with Honey BBQ sauce, Chicken Wonton Tacos, and Chicken Quesadilla. The Honey BBQ sauce and Chicken Quesadilla are too salty for me. The Chicken Wonton Tacos would be better if they had more coleslaw and the wontons were more crispy.

I went out last night for a happy hour date night and immediately was told by the host "sorry, we had 2 sick calls tonight." We were seated regardless and a new waiter who had never waited a table before (he told us) came to our table. He explained it was his first time serving so please be patient. We were very nice, but he was struggling with ordering. I noticed several other coworkers/managers helping him put the order into the computer. The food came out correct, we ate, then wanted to pay. We give the waiter our card and the receipt comes back after. We had paid full price for happy hour, perhaps our mistake for assuming we were being charged accurately, and the bill was incredibly high for what we should have paid. I'm not confrontational, so we just left, but the tip was reflected on the bill price. Normally I am a generous tipper, but for several happy hour items at full price, that came out of the tip. Overall very disappointed in management throwing an untrained staff at our table with no obvious idea of how to do his job. I don't blame the waiter for not knowing how to do his job yet, but I am very disappointed in management and my experience there.

Very rarely do I write reviews, it was slow , even slower response time from the server. The food was awful , this is this first time in along time I didn’t even bother taking my left overs. Dry, chewy flavorless, poorly seasoned food . Wouldn’t even be worth it if it was half the price! Seriously what happened? The food was not even tolerable. Applebees food is just poor quality. Good thing mc ds is open , at least I know my food will be edible.

The food might be good but service to customers is trash. There is this talk white lady, almost athletic looking said she was coming to respond to me. And I was standing there for over 10 minutes waiting for her or just someone to respond to me for my pick up other. All what she does is just laugh with other colleagues and rambling all over the places. Meaningwhile there is another waiter at the cashier's desk, we were making eye contact and she didn't even bother to check in with me. No hard feelings, but if I hadn't work in such industry I would assume it's a norm. But I left and tried other place. Not sure I will return anytime soon

Monday Jan 15th around 5:30-7PM. So I spent about an hour and a half here. Pretty slow service. The food was good. However, the server was slow and the payment was really were the issues arise. It took 30 minutes just to pay!! After the bill was dropped off it took 10 minutes for her to collect payment. I told her to use a certain gift card first, then the full gift card. I even pointed out that the pin that is scratched is the first gift card to use then the other. Well she messed that up. Then she asked if she should correct it. Well yeah. I told her. That was a mistake because it took about another 20 minutes to fix the issue. I don't even know if she charged everything correctly because I didn't get a itemized receipt back. Just my balance. I feel like it was off a bit. I was late for a meeting at 7. So I had to rush out as I was already waiting 30 minutes to pay. I was late for my meeting. I didn't think it would take 30 minutes to pay or I would have chosen elsewhere or informed her of this. Not happy. Not sure I want to return to this location. Very unhappy.

I’m not one to be picky about restaurants because I know what it’s like to work in food service but I must complain about this disaster of a restaurant. It wasn’t even that busy when I went, took the workers 10 min to come and greet us in the restaurant. And then ANOTHER 20 min to take our drink order! Most of the staff were just running around talking to each other. (Female workers Saturday night 10/21). I let it go because I know how stressful working in a restaurant can be. That was until me and my sisters were still waiting and we see one of the workers hiding and on her phone. (Keep in mind we still haven’t had our drink order taken yet) Finally the waitress came and took our order. The food was terrible. Very undercooked and just overall sloppy and gross. The waitress just threw our silverware at us. Never came by the table to check on us. Took her 15 min to get a lemonade! Applebees is not what it used to be and it’s sad.

We went for happy hour, place was not busy. We ordered drinks and 3 appetizers. It took a half hour for our chips and salsa and the other 2 we didn't even get after waiting for almost 45 minutes. A server finally came back out and we inquired about the 2 apps. we hadn't received yet. She goes back in the kitchen and comes out with the 2 apps. but by that point we were getting ready to leave. They packed up the apps. and comped them as well. Not sure I would go back.

Pleasant service, wonderful food! 😁 Fresh and hot. Would definitely come again.
