Applebee's Grill + Bar - Restaurant in Paramus - Fashion Center Mall, 17 E Ridgewood Ave, USA

I came for a family dinner here and overall, I'll give Applebee's a 4.5/5 Food: The food was simply amazing! For appetizers, we ordered The Classic Combo which pretty much filled us! For the main course, we ordered Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs, Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloin and Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. None of Service: Our waitress was a very sweet young lady, she constantly came to check on us and made sure everything was going well. (5/5) Atmosphere: I'd like to say the restaurant is well maintained...but the booth we sat at were tearing apart and personally, I thought the lighting could have been a bit better, but otherwise, everything was perfect (4/5)

This place is nice and the food is good. But the atmosphere is bad because of how much kids go there and you can’t even talk with all the kids talking. But the service was ok and the food tasted really good.

I had the Quesadilla burger, it was very filling! I was full after the first half! The Thai Chile Boneless Wings were fried perfectly; not too crispy and had a great flavor! Hubby had the 2 for $29 and he ate both dishes! He said ribs were cooked perfectly and had alot of meat! The drinks are on special for Valentines Day and only $5. Service was fast and the waitress was very efficient and friendly!

Came here and was not expecting too much but our service and the food was quite impressive. Server Gus was attentive and quick. All food came out delicious, my son especially liked the wings. Broccoli came out overcooked and server promptly returned with perfect steamed broccoli. I never think to come here but will def try happy hour with my girlfriends next time.

I’m only giving two stars because our waitress Katelyn was very sweet, I went here 3/18/22 and once we got there we asked if we could sit at a booth and pointed to a row of empty booths. The host told us we couldn’t sit there and had to sit either at the bar or a high table. We said okay fine whatever. Not even five minutes later she filled up every single empty booth with older couples. I’ve noticed this restaurant prioritizing older couples and completely ignoring the younger people. The food was so disgusting my whole table didn’t even finish a bite. $17 for literally a cup of dry pasta and flavorless chicken fingers. $11 for a margarita with 0 liquor. And all margaritas that are advertised are served to you with half the ingredients missing. $12 for ribs that are literally burnt to the point were it’s tough to chew and barley edible. I’m not sure what’s going on behind the kitchen but it’s really a problem. I paid $70 for food I didn’t eat.

A casual evening at Applebee's involves friendly service, a diverse menu with options like burgers and salads, and a relaxed ambiance. The meal is generally satisfying, making it a popular choice for a laid-back dining experience.

We were seated fairly quickly, but that’s where the good part of this review ends. The place has not been overhauled in decades not to mention the food was horrible. My husband‘s pasta made him sick after he ate it. My son‘s burger made him sick after he ate it and I had two bites of my salad and it was not even edible. Word to the wise if you are thinking of eating there don’t. Go ANYWHERE else.

I usually don't write bad reviews but I have to on this experience. I went today with my daughter and my husband. The food was okay, our server was good too, being that she was the only one in our section attending multiple people. But what really got me upset was that as we are walking to our car, the MANAGER and another server chases us down to ask if we paid for our bill. So you are telling me they did all of that before even checking the table if the money was there. So i immediately walk back and ask what was going on because if the money wasn't there then someone must've taken it. Then I asked our server if she got the money on the table and she says yes and that was it... It makes no sense that they will come chasing us to our car but not check the table we were sitting at to make sure the bill was paid. That was so embarrassing and humiliating especially since I was with my 8 year old daughter. Never again will I go there or recommend this place. They need better management and some common sense.
