"Friendly staff and great food! I've always loved their chips and dip, and the salmon was amazing! Clean building and staff were sanitizing constantly. Server was very nice and attentive. Im from out of town, but will definitely stop back here again next time I come down. Overall, a great experience and fantastic food! Thanks for all your hard work!"

"We have been here before, and it was always excellent. This time was not so much though. Our server and the other staff members were awesome! They really dropped the ball on food though. We ordered the chicken Alfredo. Sauce was good, noodles were a bit undercooked, and the chicken was oh so bad. You could taste the freezer burn, and it was like chewing on pieces of rubber. I had the sirloin and shrimp. The shrimp was actually pretty darn good. My steak I asked for medium, and it was pretty rare. That's the only thing though. It was really juicy, and tender. I did enjoy it even being rare. We will still go back."

"My boyfriend and I were in Albert Lea and decided to grab supper at Applebees. Everything was great and I’m a huge believer in giving credit where it’s due. I believe our servers name was Scott- he was AMAZING and the best server we’ve had at ANY restaurant we’ve been to. His customer service skills are top notch, and he made the experience top tier."

"Not enough stars to rate our great experience. July 9 was our anniversary and Sarah made it a memorable one! She made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing and my Cajun shrimp and chicken was made to order and came to our table still sizzling. Most restaurants do not serve hot food or have good service but Applebee's beat the odds! Thank you to Sarah our server and the amazing cook!"

"No wait time, got there kinda early so it was quiet. We all put in our drink orders, mixed up my daughters drink. Put in our food orders they messed up on my wife's but they did comp. My son never got his refill, but I'm nitpicking, overall there were a few hiccups but with food being delicious I will be back, all ready got my meal picked out. Lol"
