Fresh Flavours in the neighbourhood...there's no place like Applebee's for the hot, fresh-from-the-kitchen flavours of our new sizzling entrees. Three new flavours to choose from: 1) Sizzling Steak & Cheese - Tender steak topped with Italian cheeses, sauteed onions & peppers and served with freshly made garlic mashed potatoes. It's a taste from home, right in the neighbourhood. 2)... more
My family and I stop here regularly, the service has been great and 2 can dine menu is a nice option. Stopped by this summer for the first time in a few years and really enjoyed it.
Had a lunch here with some friends. Lots of catching up to do so we appreciated that we were not pressured to rush. Our server was polite and reasonably friendly, she checked regularly until the last person arrived. Then, once we were ready to order, she was not around as much. Food was ok. Arrived promptly. A bit too spicy... more
Had to try this infamous middle American eatery one snowy afternoon in Barrie. The pretzels with mustard dip app tasted like drywall and mud. Just the worst. The draft beer was acceptable and service was fine. Decor is run down, sticky and beat up, much like the clientele. Absolutely no reason to return.
I found it loud. Food was good. Didn't see alot of the waitress but it was busy. Maybe Friday night was a poor choice on my part.
Over the past month while on business found my self having dinner this restaurant as a resultmodmits location. First time there I was impressed with the service, speed and price of the meal as well as the taste of the food. All very good, so much so that I have returned twice in the past 2 weeks.
This was not my family's first trip to this particular Applebee's but it might be our last. We took "advantage" of the two for twenty-five deal. I don't know whether ordering from the main portion of the menu would have been a better idea or not. What I do know is that none of us were able to finish our meals (chicken fingers and fish and chips). The only highlight of the visit was the... more
It's been a while since we've been to any Applebee's, but no matter where we've been, we've always been satisfied.
Though the food was "ok", there wasn't a whole lot, and the seasonings were a bit over the top.
(I am not a big fan of rosemary, and there was quite a bit on my "bourbon" chicken and shrimp).
My...

First time went to Apple bee's on Bayfield with a group of four. Atmosphere is average good and looks like any typical dining bar restaurant. Service was awful. We ordered 2 steaks, ribs and fried shrimps. We ended up waiting 2 hours for our food. Waitress barely ever came to our table aneverytime we called her she would always ignore... more
Don't be hating, too much hating happening in these other reviews, and there needs to be a recent review, come on fellow Barrie Yelpers, where are you??
I once too did feel like all of you, but after trying the Niagara Falls, NY location I decided to give the 2 for $25 I try on this side of the border.
It was a quiet night, and service was fast and prompt. Actually we had an amazing server...

I attended Applebees with doubled (previous reviewer) and she was actually gentle in her review. I wasn't expecting much from Applebees - a standardized franchise menu served in a timely manner and a moderate bill. What I got was no utensils, no booster seat for my child, I told the server I was ready to order, she said she would... more
one of the worst places I've ever eaten at, my ribs looked like they were boiled then tossed in sauce..they weren't grilled at all....my friends lime chicken was smeared with ranch dressing with processed cheese on top..it was burnt on the outside and must've been microwave to finish the cooking...and the spinach cheese dip has more processed cheese in it..with... more
The menu has something for everyone. The food was good and the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. I would recommend this Resturant.
Great food and great service. Just moved to Barrie and was looking for a cheap lunch. Heard a commercial on the radio about Applebee's and thought we would give it a try. The food was excellent and our server Ryan was excellent as well and we both loved it
Good service and shrimp broccoli was just okay. First time at this location. Patio looked nice, but didn't sit outside.
My friends and I have a tradition of twice yearly get togethers. This time we chose Applebee's because of the convenient location.
The food was not a disappointment and the location is clean and airy.
The service we received made us feel welcome, relaxed and more of a guest than a customer.
Thank you Tonya for your patience as we...

I don't expect much from Applebee's, as it's just a cheap-ish chain restaurant, but I do expect the service to be halfway decent and the food to be somewhat quick. My husband and I showed up at this location for dinner around 5:30pm on a Tuesday night. They weren't very busy, but the wait was horrendous. We ordered a reuben... more
Food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Service was great as well. My friends and I had a variety of different dishes and they were all good. Nice friendly environment , and would like to go back.
I wish I could remember her name. A very young girl with brown hair in a ponytail. She was the friendliest server I have ever had. We always get great service here though! I wish I had ordered the tacos though, they are delicious!
Found the food very average..was our first time ever at an Applebees...I think we had high expectations...we ordered appetizers and ...lunch..the food was just ok...prefer what i make at home anyday..
Appleby's always surprises me. The portions are american largesse. The food quality is quite good and the service is friendly.
We have eaten here several times. The wings we felt were better
than the well known wing chains. Everything we have had has been
excellant value for the money. The staff are very attentive.
From the moment you walk in you can see how dirty it is. Food was horrible and service was slow. We will never be back.
Nice place, not to noisy like a lot of the chain restaurants, as well they have great menu. Service was fantastic, prompt and friendly. Food was excellent as usual. Could not have been happier
They have so much to choose from and everything that I've ever tried has been good. They have some decent prices. Staff is friendly.
Took the kids 10 and 12. Service was excellent - Thanks Chris. Steak was perfect. Fajitas were spicy and hot. Fish and chips were crisp. We even had entertainment with the 2 year old twins next to us feeding the floor their mac and cheese (which was funnier than it sounds). Excellent food and service in the this price range.
Nice atmosphere with a good menu at fair prices. Our second last visit we started eating outside but a very cold wind came up and they were very accomodating in moving us inside.
whoooo hooo! with our rooms keys, we were offered a 15% discount.. thanx to front desk for letting us know!!!!
Great time was had by all. Fabulous food and a very amazing, entertaining and patient server. We were a rowdy work group of 10 out to have a great time and our server Nick L and Applebees more then stepped up to the plate. Our food was amazing, especially loved the wonton tacos, as always the wonderful sangrias and the... more
The only thing I don't like about Applebee's is it really only has booths, and they are low. When you are a larger person, this makes getting in and out difficult and uncomfortable. Steaks were well flavored, service was good even though they were extremely busy. Hardly any wait at 7":30 Saturday night to get seated.
I have been to many Applebees in the USA but it's the first Canadian one I have visited and I must say, it was a huge disappointment. My family of four ordered chicken fajitas, mozzarella sticks, chicken pasta, crispy chicken salad, chicken wings, raspberry iced tea and brisk ice tea. Service was just average but all of the food was... more
I enjoyed the food the day I went, but haven't gone back, I do remember that it was affordable and clean and the service was good
never had a bad experience at Appleby's; good for date night or good for family night
I jsut found the food wasn,t tyo tasty But I haven,t been in awhile so maybe this review isn,t very true becasuse my friend goes and she likes it So there you go!
We go here at least twice a month sometimes more often and the food is always well prepared, arrives in good time. Portion sizes are generous (usually take some home). Never leave disappointed.
The service has always been so cheerful and I love the choice of salads & always have had a great meal here.
Not much of a dining experience. Food is standard . Just a normal place to go but I thought it was expensive for what you get.
For a family birthday a group of 10 of us met at the Barrie location for dinner. For almost all of us, this was our first time eating at this restaurant. The hostess gave us a choice of two different places to sit which is rare. Our waitress (I believe her name was Robin) was very good. She got everyone's... more
I love the 2 dine for $25 deal.I enjoy going there to share an appetizer and get a full entree for just 12 50 per person. The riblets are to die for, and you get big portions.
My favourite place to eat in Barrie and have always enjoyed great food and great service from staff and management!
The girls and I had a good meal at a good price. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good and the staff is friendly. We enjoyed our food and had a good time at the restaurant.
ordered steak and for the price would have went to the keg
very expensive left the resturaunt hungry
It has a good menu, good service, and nice servers. A complete 100% degree change from the one in Brampton. The woman manger likes her job and likes her restaurant so I imagine that is why it is good.
I was a little skeptical of a chain restaurant... My experience tends to be mediocre at these types of establishments. Not at this one!
The food was absolutely excellent, as was the service.
If I could give this a 0 I would, I hate this place that much. The only good part about the whole applebee's experience was the hostess that seated us and the pomegranate iced tea.
Our waitress berated us with questions about appetizers, after the 10th question of "do we want an appetizer" and us stating "Noooooo WE DON'T" I wanted to kill myself.
We ordered, the food was BLAND. I got a side...

Too expensive for the horribly small portion sizes and bland tasting food. So horrible it's ridiculous.
I had hear of Applebee's before, (who hasn't?), but it was my understanding that this "restaurant" was an American phenomenon and had not made its way north of the border, so it is easy to imagine my delight? Surprise? There isn't a word but imagine horror combined with unchecked enthusiasm and then you have what I felt. The interior was not a gaudy as I expected but then again I pretty much... more
I'd go there as a once in a while, if we needed something quick. I was not that impressed the few times we have been there.
Eh.... I enjoy the spinach and artichoke dip but other then that i find the menu limited and boring.
Great food, Amazing service!
I love Applebees! it is a good place to eat
Prices are really cheap...you get what you pay for.
Great service, clean, family dining. Bonus Points: Also a terrific supporter of the Children's Aid Foundation.
The service is great and the wraps are better, No too costly either
Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar offers these services: restaurant.
