"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"

"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 food arrived fresh and hot. The best I've ever gotten from here truly. The chow mein had lots of noodles and less cabbage. Usually it has so much cabbage I can't even eat it. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is they did not include sweet n sour sauce for the rangoons. That infuriates me. I need the sauce. I always think twice about ordering the rangoons because chances are they won't include the sauce. "
"Quality has gone downhill and the cuts of meat being used are less than ideal (the teriyaki chicken was slimy and rubbery, fatty bits in the orange chicken, etc) especially for the cost. Just not worth it anymore."

"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."

"I ordered a Egg McMuffin® Meal but received a sausage McMuffin meal. I ordered ketchup and received no ketchup. My favorite breakfast item from McDonald is their orange juice however this one was as if they were out, so they put a little in the cup and added water. It was horrible! The side of bacon was two small pieces of a piece of bacon not even a whole piece. So disappointing!"
