"Oriental chicken salads were good, the time it took to get to us was good. My one complaint was the French onion soup was not much larger than the container my dressing came in and was charged $6.79!!!! I called Applebees and spoke to two managers, both very nice, both said the prices on DoorDash are made up through that company and is beyond Applebees to change, they were going totry to put in for a discount on their end and advised I do the same"
"Chicken was overcooked, not enough sauce, we ordered extra sauce for both dinners because we knew there wouldn't be enough in the noodles, and we didn't get the extra sauce for either dinner. We give this restaurant a chance over and over again. Just might be done trying."

"Was in desperate need of comfort food - ordered Chicken Parmesan . Super good! Delivered quickly by DoorDash, still hot from the oven, huge portion packed nicely with tableware and two warm buns in a bag. Comforted me and left me with a 2nd meal for later LOL "
"Both the Spaghetti & Meatball & Fettuccine Alfredo had practically no sauce in them! I was jipped at $20+ per plate for noodles and small portion of meat. I had to add my own sauce to both to make it edible. No dressing provided for the side salads, or the garlic oil for the rolls. Very disappointed."

My fiancé for the legendary honey bbq chicken super melt w/ fries and everything was cooked perfectly. I got the same entre w/ a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Super yummy. My sandwich was not dripping messily with sauce, but was not dry either. The potatoes came with a brown gravy that was super flavorful!"
"Cheese skirt burger was ok, nothing fantastic. Chicken tenders were very small and overcooked. Basically chicken nugget size. The chicken quesadilla was good but the onion rings were 50% little 2 inch pieces. Ice cream was the best thing I ordered. "

"Not a bad thing on the menu. It's all delicious! My favorite restaurant in all of Cecil County and by far the best value when it comes to price. Heaping portions unbelievable specials and endless options for customization. If you saw a special on the menu the day before they'll do their best to recreate it the next time you are there. Not only is their food incredible but the staff are friendly and welcoming. Once you go a few times you feel like a member of a little extended family. On top of all that they do regular community outreach and support for disadvantaged families in our area. Their "pay it forward" wall and community food pantry project are perfect examples of the spirit of this business and the people who run it. They truly care about their customers, our town and the people who live here. So if you are feeling hungry and you are in the area stop in and give this place a try you will not be disappointed."
"Be warned: it's a crazy amount of meat. Always delicious. Personally not my type of hoagie lettuce but still very good! Tomatoes and peppers are always great. Breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. I will say check your condiment level before leaving. Some places I order mayo, some I don't, some I order extra. I ordered for my bf and I yesterday and the condiments were perfect. I literally hit reorder today and either they forgot the mayo or did the lightest layer and I just can't tell. It's happened before with other items but again it was always a sauce or seasoning. Either way, I have condiments at home so I can doctor it up. People have different preferences so may just season differently with the same instructions. If I have to add some mayo or oil or oregano to make a good sub/hoagie great, I'm not complaining. I think hands down in north east the best option for subs/hoagies. The breakfast sandwiches are very good but I won't glow about them too much because I'm not a breakfast person so I don't know how much weight it holds."

"Choc'Late Lovin' Spoon Cake is chocolate evil. It is so delicious and has cake, mousse, icing and chocolate shavings... It squashed a chocolate 🍫 craving. Highly recommend 👌"
"The applesauce was four dollars. The description is hot baked apples with cinnamon. It came in a little plastic container a quarter of the way full and tasted like it was poured from a metal can. Plain flavored no cinnamon. That's an insane amount of money for less applesauce than you'd get in a Mott's kids size to go pack. The seafood sampler description and picture shows plump scallops, shrimp, crab cake and piece of fish. The scallops were tiny and had a fishy taste, the shrimp was overcooked and rubbery, the fish was completely flavorless. The crabcake was the only part that was edible although all stuffing and average in taste. Maybe it was an off night for the restaurant but I would not recommend either of these choices if they were free. Very unfortunate."
