Applebee's Grill - Middletown

This restaurant is your typical casual spot with a fun and inviting atmosphere. When we arrived at 8:55, the waitress informed us of the 50% off appetizer special starting at 9:00. We took advantage of the deal and ordered a variety of appetizers for the table. The restaurant has numerous TVs playing sports games, perfect for sports enthusiasts. The beer selection was impressive and we had a great time enjoying our meal outdoors.

I visited Applebee's for the first time and had a great experience. They offer a diverse selection of food options. Our waitress, Kayla, was excellent. I tried the chicken tenders platter, which was exactly as expected and a reliable crowd pleaser. I decided to swap out the slaw for extra fries, which were delicious. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

I can’t say enough about how great Cheryl the bartender is. I’ve been coming here for several months after my late nights at work. Cheryl greets me with a smile and always remembers my beer of choice. She’s the perfect amount of conversationalist and always makes sure her customers feel welcome. She uses guests name and really makes me feel welcomed. Even with a packed bar and restaurant, Cheryl always remains calm, cool and collected, she never shortens her service and always has a smile!!

Updated for new (22Jan2023) Endless Ribs, Wings and Shrimp deal: $15 for unlimited baby back ribs, boneless wings and stuffed shrimp isn't bad! NOTE: initial order comes with the entree (can only order 1 at a time), side of fries and coleslaw. The follow on entree(s) will only come with the main dish and fries. Not a big deal, just need to keep ordering if you want to be really full. Original review (Jan2023): Ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp (with mashed potatoes). Price was just ok, but food was good, came on a hot sizzling cast iron dish so presentation was nice! Good atmosphere with dim lighting ambiance. Kudos for dedicating 3 veteran parking spots!

I got there at evening. Food was alright. Burger might be better. Coleslaw sucks because they put cilantro which kills the mojo in the coleslaw. Service was okay. Wait staff might have been trained better. But it’s alright. I survived.
