They should call the All you can eat as “All you can WAIT” I went to this location at 10PM, got a table at 10:15PM which is not bad, I understand its Friday. We waited like 15 minutes to place our order. My wife ordered the Brocoli Alfredo Pasta, I went with the All You Can Wait. The pasta was dry, we took it home almost the entire plate and re cooked it ourselves at home, the all you can eat first wave of ribblets was good, big plate, good amount (they brought the BBQ when I orderded the Asian Chili, but thats okay). The AYCE comes with Coleslaw and ENDLESS fries, during all night I just received 1 small coleslaw, and never got the fries, not a single time. Well, I finish the first round, ask for the second, it comes after 30 minutes and its just 3 small pieces of ribblets BURNED. I told the waitress that I wanted more coleslaw, still waiting for it lol, never came. After 45 minutes waiting the Waitress asked me if I wanted anything else, and I told her Ive been waiting for another round, 15 more minutes waiting she comes with it, burnt again, thank you. No coleslaw, do they even have fries? I still don’t know 😐. Worst AYCE experience, would not recommend it at all. Around 12:20 am I was already tired of waiting and asked for the check. They drop the check, I wait like 15 more minutes to someone pick it up and ended up going myself to a gentleman that was really nice and took me out of my misery of waiting.
I spent 2h and a half for 1 round of ribblets, and 2 small 3 burnt pieces portions.
Never doing it again, thank you.

We went in for dinner & was disappointed in this location. The waitress/bartender acted as tho she didn't even want to be taking orders. Our food came out without one of the side salads. The salad was brought to me as I was finishing up my meal. I didn't eat much of the bourbon chicken & shrimp due to it being over seasoned. I have ate it many times before. I know what it should taste like. I told the waitress that I no longer wanted the salad (which was an upcharge) and she made no offer to remove the upcharge from our bill. I ended up taking the salad in a to go box. We won't be going back to any Applebees anytime soon.

This is a location my wife, my kids, & I always go to every other Friday which is one of our kid’s favorite location to eat. Food is always consistent, never fails when go. They always have a great deals and everyone knows them half appetizers. The location can sometimes be a hit & miss with the customer service depending. S/O to the ones that do provide amazing and S/O to the kitchen staff.

While in the area, we decided to stop at Applebee’s for a late lunch/early dinner. Yes, it has that familiar chain‑restaurant feel, but we were lucky enough to be served by Jessie — and she was outstanding. She hit every mark for customer service and added a few extra for genuine hospitality. Truly one of the highlights of our visit.
I ordered a whiskey sour, and it nailed all the right flavors. For my meal, I stepped a little outside my usual choices and went with the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. It’s a Cajun‑seasoned chicken and blackened shrimp dish with buttery garlic, parsley, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and garlic mashed potatoes.
It arrived sizzling hot, and it was absolutely delicious. The mushrooms and onions were cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes were phenomenal. The Cajun seasoning on the chicken was exactly what I expected, and everything on the plate hit the mark.
We don’t have Applebee’s in Atlantic Canada, but if we did, I’d put it in the same category as Montana’s — consistent, comforting, and exactly what you expect no matter the location. What I do hope, though, is that every Applebee’s has a Jessie. Her bubbly, happy, energetic personality made the whole experience better. It’s refreshing to see someone who genuinely enjoys their job.

My husband and I went out for our 11th year anniversary. We ended up going to the Titanic museum in Tampa afterwards We planned on going to the Applebee’s on Dale Mabry since it was close to the museum and I have been there multiple times. When we arrived at the restaurant, it took 10 minutes before even being seated they were not busy at all and then it took another 20 minutes before we got up and walked out in that time we never met our server. We did however, see her go to another table and tell customers that the bar was backed up and have an issues. After about 20 minutes, we decided to leave we went to the Applebee’s in Wesley Chapel and it was totally worth it. This Applebee’s in Wesley Chapel is one of the best in the area. We had a new server that was training. She was very very sweet. She was kind patient and attentive she is going to do really good at that job. We got appetizers and their new alcohol drinks with the shots for only six dollars and they did look like fish bull drinks lol we started off with the mixing match three appetizers. They were fantastic, hot and fresh. I got the new chicken Parm over fettuccine white sauce. It was 10 out of 10. My husband got the bourbon, whiskey burger with extra bacon and they did not disappoint. Really want to express how well the server was as she was still training how she made sure to continue to check on us We were hesitant on even going to another Applebee’s after the experience before but we were very glad that we did everyone there was sweet. There was no wait time we were seated right away. The hostess made sure the table was clean before even Seating us. I highly highly recommend this place and for now on the Applebee’s in Wesley Chapel will be the only one that we will go to thank you for ending our 11th year anniversary on a high note!
