Applebee's - Wilkes-Barre

Idk why we bother ordering from here anymore as almost every time theres an issue! 2 for 24....should say 2 for 35. 6oz med rare steak, arrived rare and was all ligaments. Tried to salvage some of the steak, hurting my hand in the process, to have something for dinner since the garlic mashed potatoes were somehow missing. The quality seems to get worse every time we order.Would have gave a lower rating but my son loved his food.Will probably never order or visit again!

After a fairly busy Saturday, we decided on a whim to dine at Applebee's for dinner, and were pleased that we did. We arrived in the late afternoon/early evening and we were seated immediately in the moderately crowded restaurant.Our server was extremely pleasant, and brought our drinks promptly, and allowed us some time to choose from a varied menu.For appetizers, we ordered Brew Pub Pretzels and Beer Cheese Dip, and a bowl of tomato basil soup. The former consisted of four soft and hot pretzel sticks with the dip and a side of delicious honey mustard sauce. There was plenty of dip available even after the pretzels were devoured. The soup was also delicious and highly recommended.The main entrees were pretty good. The 4-cheese Mac and Cheese with honey pepper chicken strips was adequate, but somewhat bland. I had to really mix up the pasta, as all the cheese sauce rested at the very bottom, and I didn't even taste the pepper flavor on the strips, which had more batter than chicken. Once the pasta was tossed, cheese sauce was more pronounced and saved the meal otherwise.The Oriental Grilled Chicken salad was decent, but unlike the pasta, was a tad salty. Strawberries were added, which fortunately offset the saltines, and again, turned out to be adequate. If there were a 3½ star rating, I would have chosen that.Overall, the meal was decent, but some improvements could be made. We didn't regret our dining choice, but with a lot of competing restaurants in the immediate area, we probably won't visit again for a while.

Heard that catchy song ? just came out the woods from camping w my husband. We stopped for lunch food was delicious, and what a surprise my nephew and girlfriend were working hard. So proud of those kids. Definitely will be eating more oftenFood: 5/5

Whoever the bartender was on Tuesday night, 9/13, should be recognized. I sat at the bar where there was only one other person and this bartender was absolutely incredible. She was kind, personable, and just a fantastic human being. We got talking for a while and she was so sweet, and even talked me into getting a pretzel and another beer. She made the company more money than I was intending to spend, and she made a lasting impression on me. I am traveling from out of town, and she made a very bad day I had at work a little bit better with her personality. Highly recommended and I will be back at this location anytime I am in PA. The receipt has the name ANNAROSE D on it. Truly exceptional.
