Applebee's Grill + Bar

Great central location in Silverdale Washington. You can always expect good food at reasonable prices and friendly fast service. Today we had Ari as our server and she did a great job taking care of us. The food came out promptly and was delicious. I always enjoy their Asian crispy noodle chicken salad with a cold strawberry lemonade. My wife enjoys the grilled salmon, a Northwest favorite.

Since COVID and the great resignation, finding later than 8 or 9 pm dining options has become more and more difficult, so the fact that we were sat to eat and they had the full menu available at midnight was amazing, but the service was definitely not the best. The food was decent enough, it was rather tasty actually, but our server literally was nonexistent. Aside from taking our initial order, she didn't come by the table again our entire visit. A food runner dropped our salads off, but we had no silverware.... and eventually the table next to us informed a busser that we needed some utensils. We then had to order drinks from the food runner when she dropped off our entrees, because we still hadn't seen our server, a different person dropped our drinks off... our server never came by to see if our food was good or not. We didn't see her until she came by to drop the bill off. So, I give a one-star for the service, five-star for being open late, and a 3 star for the food.

This afternoon, my cousin and I decided to try Applebee's. We ate there years ago and weren't very happy with the food or the service. It has been several years, so we decided to grace them with our presence. We were the first people there and seated. As we walked to our table, I noticed that the restaurant looked friendly; the lighting there had a lot to do with that, as well as the Valentine's Day balloons hanging everywhere and several pictures adorned the walls, not to mention many TVs. We were promptly given menus, requested waters with lemons, and started browsing the menu. I'll admit there were plenty of appetizing-looking items on the menu, wings, shrimp, fish and chips, burgers, steaks, and much more. Next time I'm there, I will order Bourbon street chicken and shrimp, it looks and sounds fabulous! This time around, we both chose Impossible burgers. My burger was without cheese, and I had a side salad, and my cousin's burger came with cheese and regular fries, although other side choices were available. The Impossible burgers had lettuce, pickle, and onion. I added a little mustard and ketchup. My side salad had a bed of lettuce with two types of cheese, tomatoes, a little cucumber, croutons, and my dressing which they got wrong was a lemon olive oil vinaigrette; I chose balsamic, but no regrets with the lemon olive oil, lots of flavors rolling around in that dressing! We both agreed that the Impossible burger was good and a safety net; she liked her fries, and I enjoyed my salad! Sitting there as we waited for our food, I noticed that someone had skipped running the vacuum; the tables were clean; that said, the tablets or whatever that machine is called on the table for you to pay was pretty gnarly. None of them were on yet, Maybe they cleaned them as they turned them on?? The lady's room was mostly clean, with no odd smells or dirty floors. Another thing to mention is that Applebee's has a full-service bar, beer, wine, or cocktails, whatever your heart desires! Our server was Lorelei Y. She was chatty, smiley, and very friendly. She didn't hover, yet she checked on us enough times to make it feel like she hadn't forgotten about us. By the time we left, the parking lot of Applebee's was half full of cars. Will we go back again? I can safely say we will return, eventually! For anyone interested in trying Applebee's, they are adjacent to the Kitsap Mall, The JC Penney side of the mall, off NW Randall Way. They are neighbors to BevMo, across from Olive Garden, and caddy corner to Target. 3138 NW Randall Way, Silverdale, Washington. Plenty of parking space! *PLEASE always be kind to ALL things living, and thank you for continuing to support any of our local small businesses and our local workers!* Vegetarian options: Salads as well as an Impossible Burger Parking: Plenty of parking space.

Very tasty food! Been awhile so my husband decided to take me out for dinner. I wasn't disappointed.

Ordered the 8oz. Sirloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. Ordered the steak medium well. Steak came on the well done side and was very charred on the outside. Texture felt rubbery, almost like it had been defrosted in the microwave then put on the grill. Mashed potatoes tasted good. Green beans had no flavor despite having some kind of whitish powdery seasoning on them. They were also cooked a bit too long. A bit mushy on the texture. The strawberry lemonade tasted good. I definitely would not go back for the steak. Service was good though and wouldn't mind trying their other menu items.

I went here 9 times last month. We usually have a large party as many as 15-20 adults. They are always very accommodating and polite. The service is usually fast and accurate. Although we did have an issue on one night, but I won't let an isolated incident keep me from returning again and again.

Smaller portions than from way back, but yo be expected. Good was good Sweet and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Server was phenomenal, hostess was good although frazzled. People that come in a seat themselves without asking are rude.Food: 4/5

5 stars for service 4 stars for food the food was good I've just had better for the same price. The service was GREAT tho they refilled our drinks without us even asking and all the waiters were friendly. I was short 50 cents on an Oreo shake and one of the waitresses spotted me which was nice

The experience at Applebee's was sub par today. Seems service and food quality has declined since the pandemic. The food wasn't even mediocre and my server was clearly not sober. Twitching and fidgeting, all geeked out and talking 100mph, she was clearly not focused, asking if I was ready for my food after having me sit without a menu or silverware for a while. It was not busy at all The chips that came with the artichoke dip were stale and the rest of my food tasted as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp. Very disappointed this go around but might give it another chance later down the road. Hopefully it was just an off day and I can write a better review next time.

Love Applebee's. Almost always great food. Didn't love that on this particular visit the server was sporting a raging fever, fanning herself with the menus and wiping the snot dripping from her face with the back of her sleave. Can't beat that $1 shrimp add-on though!
