The food and service is very good. I normally order to go. I don't dine in much. The smell in the last location is not pleasant. There is a oder from the bathroom sewerage. It's been going on for months. I really like the menu's prices.

Food i thought was good, and I liked the calm atmosphere. Service was marked low but not because of the server. The server was nice, but they're clearly understaffed. Only 3 servers working the entire venue and made wait times longer

Overall, the food is decent but a bit too pricey, in my opinion. I ordered the blackened salmon with two sides, it's alright. The popping rocky shirley temple was really fun to drink though, definitely recommend that drink! The indoor ambiance is pretty cool and comfortably accommodated my party of 7 at a long table.

My husband and I went on a Friday night and it was like any other Applebees but not busy. We were seated right away by a friendly hostess, but the other waitstaff weren’t very friendly when taking our orders and checking on us. Our waitress seemed annoyed quite a bit. On the bright side, the food was delicious. We shared chicken wonton tacos as an appetizer and got a couple rounds of their specialty holiday drinks, then our main courses came. I got a bourbon chicken plate with mashed potatoes and my husband got chicken and shrimp alfredo and then we shared a “multiple pours” margarita. For the amount of drinks and food we got, it was worth it with the bill under a hundred dollars. Like I said, it was like any other Applebees but there wasn’t blaring music and a lot of people, just the warm low-key vibes.

Our server was amazing. Really nice. I think he was the only one that really cared about his job. He hooked us up with a top gun ticket for spending enough money. Food was good, service was great.

Calm atmosphere, slow service, food is good but sometimes off-something wrong with it. They offer free veterans meal but you have to dine in. Kinda unnecessary after showing ID in my opinion Chilis allows to go orders as long as you show proof. Alas, overall experience with Applebees is ok..

We went in for the two items and one appetizer for $25 they really only had three items on the entree menu so husband and I both got chicken parmesan it was okay pretty dry. We love the dip for appetizer. It surprises me that 50% of the restaurant is filled up but the other 50% doesn't have any servers so you have to put your name in and wait for a table

Only gave two stars because my ribeye was actually pretty good. The service however was pretty bad. Not sure if our waitress was new or just having a bad day. She kept forgetting everything which would be understandable if it was busy but it was not. She even gave my girlfriend a little attitude when she asked if she could take a plate off the table for us so we could have room for the main dishes coming in. We’re not rude people at all so we just finished our food and left. I even hate writing this bad review but it was that bad.

Literally why would you advertise a "cheesy melt cheeseburger" and have no cheese? Then had the audacity to say that there's ALSO queso under the fries? Don't waste your time with the new OM burger. …

Showed up for dinner, waiting for few to be seated. Order was taken and then we waited over 45 minutes for our food to come out. Waitress did not leave us napkins, utensils and never updated us on why our food was taking so long. Food was mediocre to say the least. Needless to say we will never be back to Applebees. With so many great options in Oceanside why even come here

William Lucido

Absolutely terrible. From management to floor staff, top to bottom, absolutely unprofessional. Half an hour for fried food served cold, rude staff. Would never ever go back. Better off at McDonald's.

Tried ordering the 2 for 25 over the phone while looking at the menu online. We told the woman over the phone what we wanted, after confirming that the two entrees we wanted were part of the 2 for 25 deal and a shark bowl drink that was priced at 8 dollars on their menu, just to be informed that the two meals we chose had upcharges (one was an extra 4, and the other was an extra 5) and the drink was axrually almost 10 dollars and our whole order added up to 62 dollars somehow. When we asked for clarification on why the prices online were one thing, and prices in person were another, we were told that it wasn't part of the 2 for 25 menu, and that it was actually part of a different deal. We tried asking why the options we picked were under the 2 for 25 menu if they wouldn't add up to 2 for 25, she couldn't give us an answer. At the end we decided not to eat here, and probably won't for a while, since their prices and their advertisements do not coincide with each other, and they are scamming people with false advertisements.

Im usually not a complainer but this was a new low. Ate with my family. We seen our server once. That’s it. Other people brought our food, and drinks. The sizes were super small, the picture do not show the true sizes. It was my husband birthday and I wish we went somewhere else cause it was just overall bad food, bad vibes and not so good drinks.

I usually always go here and I always get my usual; 2 for 25 the bourbon chicken and shrimp , the whiskey burger , and macaroni and cheese for my kids. Sides are always an appetizer and the two salad options they give. Order was supposed to be done 7:18 we did not receive the food till 7:50 . I was on the phone with someone named “Tyler” could barely understand and hear him, said our order was going to be 10 more minutes, so we went to Walmart and one thing we needed to get then waited, called and they said all it had to do was be bagged and they would be right out. Waited till 7:27 and then my husband went inside because our child was crying from waiting and see if they were having trouble or to see if something was wrong. Husband got the food at 7:40 something around there and I noticed they forgot my food and my sons apple juice so I go storming inside , at this point I’m very upset because I am pregnant sick to my stomach waiting for this food and my daughter is screaming her head off. I went in all hot and said we’ve been waiting for 30 minutes you said my food was ready and then on top of it you forget my meal. Got home and realized they burnt my chicken to the point it was inedible hard and burnt. They forgot both dressings to my salad anddd they forgot my husbands side which paid an extra 2 dollars for. It might not sound like a lot to some but we paid 60 bucks. Beyond disappointed with the employees, I don’t know if they are newly hired but they definitely need to get reinterviewed . They seemed like they’ve never worked there a day in there life and it was complete chaos.my husband also pointed out that one of the workers , don’t want to say who because he might need the job but you sir were under the influence for sure.
