Got the 2 for $25 deal, which is a great deal. Had honey-BBQ boneless wings, which were fried too long. The kitchen also plated some pieces that were obviously just breading broken off of other pieces. The 6oz sirloin seemed like a pretty good cut of meat, but they cooked all the life out of it. I ordered medium-rare, but had zero pink in the middle, and they buried it in their garlic spread which killed the beef's flavor. I did enjoy the mashed potatoes though. The service was really prompt and friendly, which I was very happy about. The place was clean, the ambience was good for lunch.

Got an awful steak 1st time but server took it back and I got a 2nd that was much more recognizable as a steak. Problem solved.

I love the quesadilla burger but my boyfriend's ribs were dry. He didn't eat them and they didn't even offer to take it off our check. The service left ALOT of room for improvement. UPDATE... WENT BACK TO APPLEBEE'S TONIGHT AND THE FOOD AND SERVICE SEEMED MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE A DRINK CALLED SHARK TANK IF YOU LIKE FRUITY DRINKS ITS FOR YOU

Food was good, Service was exceptionally quick and waitress was quite nice.
I just wanna say the woman at the door Tabby is a great greeter. She’s always smiling and always has a warm aura about her even when her eyes may say she’s going through something. Honestly that’s why I gave this place a descent

Not sure what is up at this location. Ate here tonight. We have been here many times over the years and never had any issues. Over the last 2 months, it’s been whack. Issue # 1- if you go here anytime in the evening on a busy night, the hostesses apparently are trained to tell you an exuberant wait time and word it in such a way that will hopefully deter you from staying. Twice we were told, on separate occasions by 2 different hostesses that it would be a 30-40 min bc “kitchen is backed up” BOTH times and asked if you’re sure you want to stay. While they increase times for ppl walking in, and telling them there are several people ahead of them, so people leave. We were actually sat both times in 10-15 min.Issue 2- I actually didn’t ever plan to make this an issue but since I’m writing this review- I ordered the salmon dinner a few weeks ago and was about 1/3 through and there was a bone in my mashed potatoes. I showed my (awesome, completely amazing) server and he apologized and said it looked like it was from a riblet. Lost my appetite after that. He talked to manager and offered to comp my meal but I said that’s okay (seafood isn’t cheap, I know that), so I said we would be cool w our 3 y/o’s kid meal taken off. Which they did, and everything was fine.Issue 3- went tonight at 8pm, hostess “30 min wait, it’s going to be a while bc kitchen is backed up, do you want to wait that long?” Yeah okay. Seated in 10. Wait 15 min for our waitress to come to our table, then she starts in about being busy and taking care of an 8 person big top table and apologized for being behind. Understandable, we both used to wait tables, I get it. Got our drinks and appetizer quickly. But then nothing else. Everyone’s drink is empty, it’s pushing 9:30 and our waitress hasn’t checked on us even once, but has delivered desserts/milkshakes and checked on the table next to us at least twice and dodged us both times. Still haven’t got our food. My ultra-patient husband was the one who finally said let’s go- so he tells the nearest server (who I’ve had before and who is also awesome) that we’re leaving and just want to pay for what we drank/ate, she apologized and she alerts the manager. Literally 1-2 min later the manager brought out 2 plates of our food and my husband tells her we’re leaving and do not want the food at this point and need our check. She said her hand was hot and had to set the plates down. He was going to be trying one of their new sizzling skillets, but I assure you it was not sizzlin and the reason her hand was burning is bc it had probably been under a heat lamp forever. Anyway, our waitress came out at this point and said she was sorry for the delay but the kitchen was running behind, and my husband told her that we understand that but she could have at least checked on us, since we were all out of drinks for nearly an hour. She apologized, we got our check and we paid for our drinks (they comped the appetizer that was supposed to be included in one of the 2 for $25 meals, also the meals). Never heard anything else from the manager, she set the 2 plates down and then ghosted, no apology or explanation or anything. She didn’t even try to mitigate the situation. Terrible service recently for mediocre/frozen/warmed food. Thanks for coming to my TED talk about the Topeka Applebees, spend your money elsewhere.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with my Mom at Applebee's. I ordered the Oriental Salad and it was delicious. Mom ordered the Quesadilla Salad and she said it was very tasty. Service was very good Aldo. Great eating experience!
