Applebee's Signal Hill Reviews
Always a pleasure eating at this location. The did was great just a expected, the service was very friendly and extra attentive.
Diego & Alejandra were exceptional in their service & attentiveness! Above & beyond. Food was yummy & happy hour drinks were good. 😊
We had an absolute pleasant dinner on Sunday at this Applebee’s. Our waitress was Alexis, and I highly recommend her. She was friendly and super quick with our order. We did the 2 for $27 meal which was perfect. We also ordered the special $5 Tipsy Leprechaun drinks, and despite everyone who says they felt the drinks were “diluted” I personally thought ours were delicious. We wanted to try the Pot of Gold drinks, but they ran out of the pina colada mix!
Josselyn was a great server.. she was fast efficient and attentative.. she was a pleasure to watch as she moved around the bar also. Keeping things clean neat and organized. She definitely takes pride in her work.
I've been enjoying the 2 for $25 or $30, depending on what you order. Each time I've ordered takeout, I've arrived when they told me it would be done, and it's done! The orders have been absolutely perfect. And the steaks are out of this world, perfectly seasoned and extremely flavorful! I highly recommend Applebee's in Signal Hill.
Alejandra is always AMAZING! Best bartender, great conversations. Even getting the whole team invited over in our debates! Definitely enjoy coming back when Alejandra is working as she’s very personable and always makes the experience feel special. Whether it’s recommending the perfect drink or just sharing a laugh, she has a way of making everyone feel at home. The atmosphere she creates is welcoming and fun, and it’s clear she genuinely enjoys her job. I always look forward to my next visit when I know Alejandra’s behind the bar. She’s definitely the reason I keep coming back!
2/15/26 Daisy and Joselyn are absolutely top notch. They go above and beyond to take care of customers on a personal level and consistently provide exceptional service. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care truly stand out. They most definitely deserve a raise! 2/20/26 Diego and Latasha at Applebee’s were absolutely amazing. From the moment i sat down, they made me feel welcome and taken care of. Their service was friendly, attentive, and professional the entire time. They stayed on top of refills, made sure our food came out right, and checked in without being overbearing. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers and service and take pride in what they do. It’s always a better experience when the staff brings positive energy, and Latasha and Diego definitely delivered. I’ll be coming back because of the great service they provided.
Finally!!! I breakfast place I actually like bruh Trust me this is the best breakfast place They actually have a variety of food :D The chicken tenders from the kids section lowkey peak but I lowkey feel embarrassed having them as an adult🥀 Applebees u the goat😋😋😋
Ms Norma was the best waiter here she needs a huge raise and she was fast and efficient with our order we come here often and she is always nice and fast and very polite she’s the best
We had such an amazing dining experience at Applebee’s, all thanks to Norma! From the moment we walked in, she made us feel right at home with her friendly smile and welcoming attitude. She was attentive without being overbearing, checking in just the right amount and making sure everything was ok. She was professional, and truly went out of her way to make our meal memorable. If you’re lucky enough to be seated in her section, you're in for fantastic service!
My hubby LOVED the ribs. The fries that came with it were scrumptious. You get 2 sides so They brought out about 4 extra napkins and 2 wet wipes with the ribs. That was such a perfect touch, very thoughful. The week before we both got the Bourbon Street Steak with mushrooms. I'm a mushroom freak so there weren't quite enough mushrooms for me the first week. Last night I got extra mushrooms for just $1 more. I couldn't have been happier. I loved the Bourbon Street steak and the garlic mashed potatoes so much I ordered the same thing last night. The garlic mashed potatoes have the perfect amount of garlic in them. The service has been excellent both times we've gone this month. The wait staff is professional and friendly. We had Latanya as our waitress last night. I used to be a waitress so you know it's high praise when I say she was excellent, I wouldn't change a thing about her service. My hubby's a bit of a foodie and he's been happy as a clam with everything he's ordered. We'll definitely be back.
It was a decent experience. The waitress seemed a little overwhelmed but other than that the food was great, and reasonably priced.
Not a good visit this time. We had a group of 7 and were seated. After a few minutes, they offered to either move all of us to another location or split the group into two with tables across the walkway from one another. After about 20 minutes (the restaurant wasn't busy) they took our order. Our sampler appetizer arrived but we didn't have any silverware or dishes yet. We sat looking at it for 5 minutes until they brought our cutlery. Dinner came about 45 minutes after we arrived. During that time someone who looked like the manager walked past about 25 times. He was doing loops but not ever asking us if we needed anything. The food was good as usual but the wait and service was not good this time. 😕
So to start off we got seated right away which is nice however it took way to long for a server to come by and or notice us so we moved areas and got better service. Our new waiter Norma she was really nice and handle us well. The food is really good and the garlic oil hella good. The place is really packed when we went and in my eyes understaff props to the workers for holding it down but they do need more people. Overall 7/10 mainly due to us not being acknowledge and making us move seats for better service
It's been awhile since I've been here but when I was there the manager was really rude not only to me but the people I was with the cooks could not make anything right when we explained everything to the server our food came out cold he ended up telling us that we can no longer come here because we keep sending the food back I told them to be honest with you if the food was made right and it was hot I would have no problem eating it but I'm not going to eat cold food that's not what I come here for but this is over 2-3 years ago I just never said anything about it I even told the major I'm never going to come back but because I love the food I might want to give it a try I'm not sure
I ordered the ribs. They smelled really bad. I didn't eat them because of the smell. My partner ordered the same ribs his ribs were fine. A waste of money
Server rushed us to order, forget an item. Was excited to try the OM Cheeseburger dish. The fries were on the same plate and the burger was burnt on both ends that sat in the cheese. I just saw a commercial and had to comment. Nothing like the TV advertisement. Tried to find a manager, did not see one. Didn’t want to sprawl to the rude and distant server.
10/11, 7:30 pm. We were told to wait 10 mins to be seated in a fairly empty restaurant. About 7 min later and After being seated by a hostess that made us feel like we were bothering her, we waited for about 10 mins for our server. She came to out table and we requested 2 coffees. "We don't have coffee". I asked politely, can you make some please? She said No. So we left and had great dining experience at Sizzler. Fyi, my company provides architectural and engineering services, we were dressed professionally and walked in with a positive attitude. I hope management will train these employees to be better at customer communication
My husband and I came into the restaurant on 1/13/26 around 5:55p. We stood at the entrance for about five or so minutes without getting any acknowledgement. I could see three employees by the bar register talking to each other, the bartender working the bar, and two servers walking the restaurant. There was a family sitting in the waiting area and another guest waiting to be seated. There was an employee wearing a walkie (maybe the manager) talking to a young employee by the bar for about a minute. This employee walked over to the front, didn’t say anything, looked at the menus, and then walked back to the kitchen. The manager then came out and was pointing at some tables to the employee. The manager looked over by the front entrance, knew we were there and just went back to the kitchen. We stood there another minute still with no greeting or any type of acknowledgement and left. I haven’t been to Applebees since pre-Covid due to a bad experience and thought to try it again. You failed me again and I will never come back.
