Applebee's welcomes you to their establishment. Explore a menu featuring hamburgers, priced at 11$ to 25$ and enjoy their casual ambiance. They are open late all week. You can get there by car.
SINCE 2008 THIS RESTO HAS HIT BOTTOM. FOOD SERVING SMALL, PRESENTATION VERY POOR. MENU OFTEN CHANGING. STAFF VERY SOMBER, NO SMILES. IMAGINE A $29 rack of ribs with dish of old potatos mased and a tablespoon of cold slaw as "a sajad"
gave it 3 tries and only to have 3 strikes. horrible service - waited forever for anyone to come by and forever for anyone to fill drinks. last time i went in was with 10 people - we all ordered at once. and half of the people got their burgers when the woman came back saying the burgers would be a while. honestly- how is it that you can get 3 burgers out but not another 3 at the same time when its all for hte same table? half of our group finished their food before the other half's food even arrived.
always met with disappointment.
would NOT recommend it.
This restaurant is just fine to dine in. If you...
This restaurant is just fine to dine in. If you have been in an Applebee's as most of us have, the only thing that changes is the staff. Don't understand why the posters below are so prejudice to a chain establishment and why this site permits personal attacks when the concept of this site is a review of the restaurant. My advice to anyone who travels Ontario and is North of the 45th parallel. Eat at chain restaurants only while in this area. You will be much happier with your meals.
My husband and I ate at the Applebee's on Bayfield street in Barrie last week... We used to love eating here, but it seems as though the food quality and service have really gone down hill over the past 6 months. Our server was doing her best, but she was clearly over-burdened with too many tables. No manager came by to greet us, even though they USED TO do this all the time. My fajitas were burnt, and my husband's steak sandwich was soggy. The cheese sticks were over cooked and missing most of the cheese. The bathrooms smelled horrible and weren't very clean. Even the edges of the too small table were grimy. Their motto is about it being a neighbourhood place, where you can feel at home, but I really don't feel that way anymore. It seems there have been some changes in management, as I don't recognize any of the faces there anymore... except the GM, who is a total jerk. I would recommend eating elsewhere!
The Penne Rosa was a very tasty dish. The sauce had a mild heat to it that went great with the sweet sausage. It just had a lot of peas! Luckily my dish wasnt affected by the tomato recall (they used canned tomatos). Great meal.
Unfortunatly, the other 2 diners' meals were affected by the tomato ban. The Rollups didnt come with the Pico de Gallo.
I'd go back.
