I love applebee's but now that i've moved to the east side of toledo, i usually do pick up at the northwood location. The food is always fantastic and i've never had my order messed up, but every time i use their carside to go service, I'm in the parking lot waiting at least 10-15 min. even after leaving my house in enough time for the food to be ready when i get there. There have even been times (plural) where the waitress has told me that she didn't see my car. I will always recommend applebee's for their food and the inside service is usually pretty good, but the carside to go service at the northwood location needs some work. My advice: Go inside.

PROS: great food, friendly wait staff

CONS: long wait for carside service

Big portions of mainstream American fare, served up in a convivial, family atmosphere.

In Short
A low-key, friendly environment attracts plenty of families to this reliable chain. Kids in the big booths--often clutching free balloons and crayons--usually outnumber adults sitting at the bar. The menu offers filling American fare with no surprises, from mozzarella sticks and nachos to rollups and burgers. Entrees include steaks, fajitas and main dish salads. The calorie-conscious can select from a list of Weight Watchers-inspired dishes like mesquite chicken salad and grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
