"Applebee's burgers and salad were great! Dasher fast and courteous service! Soup isn't worth what the charge for it...it's not even a cup and no tortilla chips came with it. We were missing 2 sides--fries and steam broccoli"
"to preface, i usually dont write reviews on here but i felt compelled after receiving this specific order. my burger was haphazardly made, the toppings werent evenly dispersed to get some in each bite; not to mention there were so little toppings to begin with and they were falling out before i even picked it up. the patties werent cooked as i requested (theyre quite dry and crumbly actually) and werent even all the way on the bun either. the portion of fries was so small that i probably couldve counted with two hands how many i received, and some of them were squished between the edge of the lid and the box itself. my burger was also squished by the lid so my bun is flat. the flavors are good for both the burger and fries, however the poor construction and lack of care is disappointing. for $16 (not including tip and delivery fee) i would not order from applebees again."

"Hand-Breaded Tenders were absolutely amazing! Never had tenders from you guys before and they were so juicy! Will definitely get those again. My mom loved the plain crunch Boneless Wings , she doesn't do well with spices or sauces so just the plain was perfect for her!"
"Normally Buffalo Wild Wings makes good wings. Unfortunately, the meat was dry but the sauce was good. I had the mild and garlic Parmesan. The side of veggies was ridiculously small in my opinion. Not even carrot sticks. Just about 5 small baby carrots and a few small, thin celery sticks."

"Signature Bacon Double CheeseBurger was made as requested and very good. Super Philly Steak with Fries was delicious! Nothing more needs to be said. Lots of meat and cheese. Baba's Burrito With Fries was good, but too much moisture from sauce caused it to soften and break. Boneless Wings, Cheesecake, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, German Chocolate Cake and Taffy Grapes were all very good. BABA'S FAMOUS LEMONADE was refreshing."
"Didnt take a pic but it sure doesnt look Nothing similiar to these pics... 1st and Last time coming here. Bought 2 gyros it wasn't even enough meat in BOTH to make 1 decent Gyros! Took a chance of them normally i go to the REAL Philly Steak on 25th Avenue they are cheaper and 1 Gryos is so big I could of made 4 if these. The meat was very thin like deli meat and they put LETTUCE on it... lol I've never saw lettuce on a Gryos. I seriously wouldn't recommend this place to No One.

"They literally have the best wings. Always perfect!"
"Ok so the mozzarella sticks didn't hit like I thought they would to me. It wasn't good and it didn't have the legendary cheese pull. The Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Bites (4pc) didn't taste like cheesecake. They taste like fried apple pie bites at most. The fries was OK I guess a little bit under the warm side. It's not as fresh as other places the drink was OK I guess but it mostly tasted like sweet water. And the Buford burger was pretty great. It hit the spot but again it was mid. I mean the only reason I would order this again is if it was my last option like if i'm very short on cash and I was super Duper hungry."
