Applebee's - South Lake Tahoe

Best Applebees I’ve ever been to. Service is the issue.

Nice foods being offered here! Beverages are also fresh! The atmosphere is cozy and family friendly. Love it!

Whoever the chef was on January 5… Slapped! If you go to a restaurant and you want aesthetic if you want beautifully plated food if you want incredibly attentive staff that will listen to all your dietary requirements. Don’t go here. But ironically, this all made the food taste that much better. The food was actually really good. Kudos to the chef again on January 5. We are both gluten-free and our waiter didn’t know that there are labels on the menu marked gluten sensitive. We ended up ordering the wings and the Cajun chicken and the Caesar salad. When the Caesar salad came out. I looked over at my girlfriend and I said that’s the most pathetic looking Caesar salad. I’ve ever seen in my life. But then I tasted it and it was really good. Again, don’t come here for the presentation. Come here for the taste of the food. We also played a nice game together during our stay. We were welcomed. The man who delivered our food was quite nice as well. Thank you Applebee’s.

We went here close to closing time. Had to order quickly. Food was fresh and ambience was pleasant.

We came Christmas Eve right before they closed, as well as the following Tuesday. we were seated pretty quickly on Christmas Eve even though they were about to close, so that was nice! we ordered the artichoke dip, chicken Alfredo, and shrimp and steak. they were all really good. the chicken was tender, the shrimp and steak had a delicious sauce on top. the sides were flavorful and well seasoned. I was surprised by how good the food was. the mashed potatoes were excellent. when we went on Tuesday, it wasn't as good with the food honestly. we ordered the shrimp and chicken and the salmon. the portions were quite small. the sides on the chicken and shrimp were good, but the chicken was overcooked, dry, and a bit burnt. the shrimp was good though. if our second experience was more like the first, it would've been 5 stars. the service was good both times, the servers were all sweet and attentive, but unfortunately the food was inconsistent.
