The food was ok, at best. My chicken was all but burnt. My friends chicken was raw. The salad bar was barely stocked and it was messy. The dining room was not very clean either. The one redeeming feature was the staff...everyone was very kind and helpful.

I truly expected to hear Greek music playing as I entered the building, after the phone order I placed with the gentleman with the very thick Greek accent! But, I won't dock a star for my silly expectations. As I walked in from their very full parking lot, I was surprised to see only one table full of diners. There was, however, and very eager staff (3 of them) waiting at the counter for me. I let them know my number, and my pizza was hot and ready to go. The price was reasonable for 2 medium pies, and I was back out the door.I had the Hawaiian and my wife had a mushroom, pineapple, black olive pizza and both were delicious. I'm not even remotely ashamed to admit that I ate all of mine in one sitting.We will definitely be back for more soon.

Dropped by for the Thursday night Pats game and really love the new game zone and bowling-very family friendly and good food and service but their internet and phone connectivity is horrible. Need to resolve that as it is imperative to give customers a solid signal! That is disappointing!

We gave this cute breakfast place another chance. Itâs really too bad that they are unable to fix the little things. First service was goodThe food was good (basic breakfast) It was relatively clean. My issue with this restaurant...they set each table with 4 place settings. If there are only two customers sitting at the table they do not remove the coffee cup (face down on a dirty table) or the remaining place settings. In my opinion...TOTALLY UNSANITARY! Bulletin: NO one wants to eat off of silverware that was sitting on a table where other people were eating. People sneeze, touch stuff on the table and cough. I watched the waitress clean only the area where the customer ate and not the whole table. Ugh. Laziness. Too bad. There are not many good places to eat in town and the staff seems to hustle. I appreciate your feedback!. We are new owners and are learning on the daily!..Any and all feedback to help us get better is very much appreciated.This is something that can be fixed Not sure when you had come the first time. But we newly acquired this restaurant and are doing our best to get things where they need to be,Again Thank you for letting us know!

We went in to eat since it was late and a couple of other places we would have rather had dined at had already closed and we were very hungry and decided to go to Applebee's, I had eat at two other ones in NH over the past 20 yrs and my experiences were so bad that I refused to go back to one for two decades! Seriously, the place had changed a lot and they really really cater to the spoil the customer in excess!! Everyone was so happy and so forth. Even the manager stopped in to make sure we were happy with our meal. My experience this time changed my way of thinking and I would consider going back even if my other places were open. :-)I had the fried fish - it was a good sized piece of fish. Unfortunately, the quality of the fish was sort of BLAH (dry and bland not juicy of anything ⦠I wouldn't get it again). The salad we split was good sized and relatively fresh. Fries were hot and the pretzel sticks were good with the dipping sauce.So I will no longer say bad things about Applebee's. My 3rd time in one changed my opinion of the place. Keep up the good work and thanks for making me feel special. :-)YMMV.

We need a better place for breakfast and Sanford/Springvale seem to be lacking. Mels Raspberry Patch in Springvale doesn't make it. The ''grilled'' potatoes were par boiled and then grilled. Normally that would be fine except the potatoes tasted as if they had spent more time being boiled than on the grill. Just didnt taste fresh. Eggs Benedict lacked the normal sweetness of real butter in the Hollandaise sauce; this too did not taste as fresh and flavorful as it should be. Sorry, Mels, you are just not up to par.

Not really impressed except by the service!! I am sure he loved the biscuits and gravy ( personally I cant eat what I cant look at but he declared it delicious). I felt the home fries were under seasoned and a tad too crisp. The sunny up eggs were ok and the toast delicious. The keilbasa was not something I'd order again and I have cooked better at home. It was a very busy rainy Sunday so maybe one more try. I hate starting the day with an "off" meal

I've eaten here, twice, 4 years apart...The good is that you're seated quickly. The staff is friendly, attentive, and can answer any questions you have about the menu. Here's my issue with the food...The first time I ate here and last week, I ordered chicken. Both times the fried chicken was tender and juicy. My issue is that there was no seasoning on the chicken at all. The chicken was cooked perfectly both times. However, no salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, etc on the chicken. It was flavorless.

Stopped by at noon. Husband ordered a couple of egg bacon and cheese breakfast sandwiches on English muffins, which he said were very good. I ordered a haddock sandwich, which came with fries on the side. I asked for the lettuce on the side, as well. So it came deconstructed as I asked, and the green leaf lettuce was crisp and fresh. Haddock was tasty and a generous portion for a sandwich - in fact, more generous than the haddock I paid a lot more for elsewhere a week or two before. Nice, light coleslaw not bogged down by a heavy dressing, tarter sauce could have been homemade, but not sure - but it was good. Fries were excellent and just the right amount. I didn't eat the bulkie roll. Only one flaw - the coffee is dismal......far too weak.

Although very clean, great service, and prepared quickly, the food was average for seafood. Did not realize the baked/stuffed haddock was overwhelmed in flavor by cheese (should have asked as menu is not specific) and the whole belly clams were on the small side. Use a great deal of plastic in their serving of the product. Clearly, not among the best I've visited.
