Why Locals Love Applebee's Grill + Bar
Located in the heart of North Attleborough, MA, Applebee's Grill + Bar at 900 S Washington St offers a quintessential American dining experience that perfectly blends casual comfort with a vibrant bar & grill atmosphere. Known for its diverse menu featuring hearty American favorites, Applebee's serves up everything from juicy, flame-grilled steaks to flavorful, handcrafted burgers that satisfy both family diners and steakhouse aficionados alike.

Applebee’s menu proudly features classic American staples. The steaks are grilled to order, offering a tender, smoky richness that melts in your mouth, though as one guest pointed out, occasionally a cut might arrive a bit underseasoned simply because of individual preferences. Their burgers are stacked with quality ingredients and served hot with a melty blend of cheeses and a generous portion of crispy fries that invite you to savor every bite. One reviewer called the burger “one of the tastiest hamburgers...in a very long time,” which says a lot about the care and flavor Applebee’s delivers.
What truly elevates the experience here, however, is the impeccable service. Guests repeatedly commend the attentive, patient, and personable staff. Noah, praised by Danira, and bartender Steve, celebrated by several patrons including Nariq and James, bring warmth and genuine hospitality that turn a meal into a memorable outing. Steve’s charm behind the bar, from crafting a perfect Long Island to managing even the most spirited guests with grace and humor, adds a unique, welcoming flair to the bar scene. The feeling of being part of a friendly community is palpable, especially around the bar where regulars and newcomers mingle effortlessly.
While some visitors have noted minor drawbacks like a fly or a less-than-perfect booth, these are far outweighed by the delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, and standout service.

Clean atmosphere including the bathroom. The food was pretty good. One steak was a bit undercooked and low on flavor and the burger could’ve also used more flavor. What made up for it though and made the visit great was the service. NOAH ROCKS WITH HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE! He was patient when they didn’t have a drink I asked about so I needed to make another choice and just super attentive without being over bearing the whole visit. He did offer to take the steak back and have it cooked a bit longer but my son didn’t want to at that point. He checked on us throughout and fulfilled the need for refills quickly. Overall a great visit! Summer 2023 Update Increased from 4 stars to 5 We went in for the unlimited wings. What a fun experience. The flavors were great. Our favorite was the honey one which was surprising so we were glad we tried them all. Great service!

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. However, at the first booth we sat at, the seat was dirty so we moved booths. And there were a few flies around while we were there. But other than that, the food was good and the server was nice.

We ordered a lunch special 2 for $25. The burger was served cut in half with the cut face down on the hot plate. The blend of meting cheeses was yum! It came with a healthy portion of fries to go along with it. That is one of the tastiest hamburgers that I've had in a very long time.

Food was great. Service was even better. Bartender Steve was charming and gracious, he had to rescue me from myself after having one too many cosmos, I feel horrible about it but Applebees did an outstanding job handling my drunken stupor, and I’m forever grateful. Five stars all around, not sure why the post only has four stars.

I went in for the Veteran’s Day special! As a young female, people often underestimate me. However, from the second I walked into this establishment, the staff was so friendly and asked if I was a veteran instead of assuming I couldn’t possibly be one. There were plenty of options on the veteran menu and my food was cooked perfectly. The waitress was amazing and the manager even stopped by to personally thank me for my service as well! Great experience overall!

I enjoyed the grilled salmon with two sides. I frequently get this meal because it's one of my favorites AND it's consistently very good. The service was wondering and during my late lunch, the atmosphere was peaceful a d quiet. I would definitely return!
