Applebee's Grill + Bar

Cozy little bar and grill in the Newark/Irvington area. Food, drinks and tapas available. Service is generally good to great. Some wait time on weekend evenings.

Sunday afternoon around 1:30 pm
Food was good, portions nice, however we did wait an extra long time for a steak. Disappointed though that a baked potato is now only served after 4pm. I ordered grilled chicken with mozzarella, tomato and red onion served over garlic mashed potatoes. Food was tasty .
Revisited restaurant Dec 16, 2018. It was noisy near the bar because of a football game on the sports TV screen. Atmosphere was beautiful and decorated for Christmas. Wow, our server was a female named Bobbie. She served accurately, was friendly and very courteous. What a pleasant experience! Not that the other times were horrible, but the past servers were not trained for the position and admittedly were kitchen staff, filling in. Bobbie even told us that serving us was her pleasure. We ordered baby back ribs and one steak, all with broccoli and baked potato. No complaints! House salad and Caesar salad were fresh and tasty.
