"It was so delicious. I will ordering it again soon so I can do a review on tiktok. It was flavorful, yet not over powering. Even though the burber was well done, it was still juicy. The cheese was melted perfectly with the right amount of sauce, and mushrooms. The bacon I ordered on the side truly shined on it's own on the burger, but so did everything else. They all worked well. "
"Great new options good portions for the prices and excellent packaging! Awesome service all the way around. Thank you Applebees. I would order again and again"

"They have the best chicken hands down. I tried cheese on my Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries and it was a great choice. 10 out 10 recommend. They cook the food fresh so it is still hot when it arrives."
"The chicken is so good. The seasoning is tasty, the chicken is crispy on the outside moist on the inside. I love the soft bun, the sauce has some sweetness to even out the spice, coleslaw is crisp & fresh and the pickles are the right amount of tang and crunch. Fries are perfect everytime. The portions are generous, this time I ordered 1 slider with fries and it was the perfect amount. Will be ordering again and again."

"SOOOOO good and they gave me extra chicken! the fries were kinda cold when they came but tbh it was still rlly good my go to order frfr "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"The Crunchy Taco Supreme® was extra fresh and tasty tonight! All the sauces were included too as ordered. Very pleased with my order this evening!"
"So, my husband and I went through their drive-thru to pickup our order and the operator told us we needed to go inside the dining room to take a picture. Once inside they asked for the name on the order but no photo was ever taken. My husband asked about the photo to which we were told only DoorDash orders are done via pickup only inside not the photo. When we asked about why lie about the photo there was no answer. The mini taco salad wasn't as good as I expected and the mini Cookie freeze is much too sweet. this was very disappointing for the tastes. The price is not worth it for the size of the mini taco salad. The potatoes tasted like they added way too much cheese sauce and only a limited amount of sour cream.
very disappointing 😞"

"The food was good. I especially liked the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich and my son liked the Eureka! American burger. It was apparently very busy and they fogit to give my dasher something I ordered but the dasher was able pick it up and they made it right. Nice staff (especially in light of my hangry phone call). Great customer service!"
"The Lettuce Wraps were packaged in a carton container, the fluid leaked creating an oily mess and likely tampered with the flavor of the juice and chicken wrap over all. It was not a good value either very small amount. The Double Smash burger that my friend got looked really good and packaged well also in a carton container but for this item is reasonable. . I wanted to be healthy with the lettuce wraps but they sucked I should have got the burger."

"Had a wonderful first impression! Pakalolo (Ham, Swiss & Pineapple) was warm and so good! Have no idea what their special sauce or Mayo is but it's delicious. I'm ordering again today. "
"The sandwiches tasted great. I wouldn't say the value is there though. I ordered the AK-47 (French Dip)- the bread was fresh and delicious, there was an abundance of mushrooms (I requested extra) but the portion of beef was ridiculously small. There was more cheese than actual beef on my sandwich. My husband ordered the Kali Mist (Spicy Club) and said the meat portion on his was nearly non existent as well...but plenty of veggies and he said it had a good flavor also. We paid $50 for two sandwiches and picked up since it wasn't far and we could avoid delivery charges...and as good as they were, they weren't $20+/sandwich good. I think for the price there is definitely better value out there so we aren't likely to return."

"Loved it!!!! Delicious Caldo de Res! Highly recommended. Tastes just like a homemade generous portion of flour tortillas as well as you can tell in the pictures it looks like a burrito and the homemade Mexican rice with cilantro onions and all the trimmings was perfect!! Made a perfect healthy nutritious meal on a day when not feeling my best. This will definitely help! "

"best place for street tacos and the first place to do 3 Mini Adobada tacos correctly that I've tried. would order again. Great portions. good value."
"Genuinely sensational, some of the best Super Carne Asada Fries i've ever had, well portioned and the fries were at a perfect crisp, the sauce had a sharp spice to it and every ingredient harmonized well. Wonderful experience will for sure be ordering again. Only improvements that could be made is if there was a salsa on the side option that you could order from the doordash app without having to call, if there already is that's my mistake. Definitely recommend! :)"

"Food was inedible because it was cold and disgusting. There was so much guacamole in the Cheese Quesadilla that it fell out all over the place and the 4 Rolled Tacos was covered in flakey cheese and had a chalky texture and taste. The Side Rice 8oz was good. I will not recommend this place and will not be back."
