Applebee’s Grill + Bar - Thunder Bay, Ontario

Server was so friendly. Wish I could remember her name. Food was excellent. Hot wings were the breaded type. Not my favorite, but they were very crunchy so I liked that. Blue cheese dip was too mild. Every one at ... our table really liked their food. Read more

Stop in for valentines special. Servers were excellent, arranged a table to accommodate wheel chair for our party. Server was good and polite. Food however was disappointing. Entire meal was less then warm. Broccoli was both cold and over cooked. No trace of butter. My med rare looked like liver ... cooked right through. Not sure what changed in kitchen but needs improvement Read more

I ordered the Shepards pie for delivery and it was the most memorable shepards pie I've ever had.... and I don't mean that in a tasty way. It was plain ground beef, veggies and 10 lbs of mashed potatoes. 100% unseasoned. It took a few bites to find the ground ... beef and veggies; it's mainly mashed potatoe pie. It was very disappointing and comical to have had a meal like this. My mother took a couple bites and she only forked out mashed potatoe. The service was great. I'm not sure how the atmosphere is, I'd only assume its family-friendly, so I am giving it 5* based on my assumption. Overall, this restaurant wouldn't be a top place I'd recommend to anyone.

I have to be honest with a middle of the road rating. I don't think I've ever had a meal here that I could classify as great. It's not terrible, either. It's just okay. My last few visits, though, I left feeling like I could have had a better meal ... if I whipped something up at home. My most recent experience was a burger that was dry enough that it fell apart when i bit into it. The french onion soup tasted like it came from a can and was microwaved. Nothing was awful per se, but none of it was good either. The servers are generally very pleasant. Our server apologized when we discussed how the food was for us. She was prompt and helpful throughout. I'd say the service is definitely the bright spot here. The atmosphere is kinda... well... average. Nothing really stands out, but I don't think it's something I'd even noticed if the food was great. Overall, I can't say I would go out of my way to come back. Obviously, some people like the food as it's generally pretty full there, but I have found it underwhelming in my experiences. Read more

It had been awhile visiting Apple Bees, but it was a great experience this evening. The staff at the door were friendly and greeted us upon arrival. We were immediately seated and menus were given, along with beverages shortly after. We placed our orders and food arrived promptly (apps within ... 15min and mains about 15min after). Our waitress Tina was great. Staff all seemed to enjoy working there, which makes a difference. The restaurant and bathroom were clean and appeared well stocked. Food was reasonably good for chain food. Overall, an enjoyable time out here. Read more
