About Us

Forty-plus years ago, Applebee's set out to do something simple: be the kind of place where anyone could pull up a stool, order something satisfying, and feel at home. That idea still drives every shift at the 205 W 50th Street location, where a 4.1-star rating across nearly 8,000 reviews tells you this spot earns repeat visits from both New Yorkers and travelers who know exactly what they want.

Sit down for lunch specials, settle in for happy hour at the bar, or grab a full dinner before a show. The menu centers on the American classics that made the brand a household name since 1980: burgers, wings, grill favorites, and the kind of hearty plates that hit the spot after a long day on Midtown's sidewalks. Open every day of the week starting at 8:00 AM, this is the rare Midtown spot that accommodates early risers and late-night crowds alike.

Convenience matters when you're on 50th Street. Whether you're fueling up between meetings or winding down after an evening out, the staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed. That balance of speed and comfort is exactly what keeps regulars coming back.

"This Applebee’s is a great place to stop for a meal when you’re in the Times Square area. Been here many times and will continue coming! The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to a Broadway show or exploring Midtown. Despite being in such a busy part of Manhattan, the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of seating. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for burgers, steaks, pasta, or appetizers. The food arrived fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the portions were satisfying. The cocktails and drink specials are also worth trying, making it a fun spot to relax after a day in the city. Overall Applebee’s delivers dependable food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere in one of New York City’s busiest neighborhoods. I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a casual and enjoyable dining experience. Respect to the great Applebees team. Keep up the good work."

"Disclaimer: T-Mobile had a collaboration with Applebee’s that if you spent $10 you would get a free classic cheeseburger and french fries and my girl wanted to go and as a result, this is her review of our time at Applebee’s I’m going to give the overall rating for the whole experience, a 3.75 based off of the confusion of the acceptance of the perk from T-Mobile and not getting it right the first time the misinformation of the waitresses and the fries were OK could’ve been better subpar that’s pretty much it for me. Oh yes in the drink the drink I get it. It was half off for happy hour, but a little the portion of the alcoholic beverage was a lot smaller than I thought it would be and that as good as I thought it would be honestly, but I drank it anyway cause I paid for it."

"I was really looking forward to this meal, but it ended up being a huge disappointment. The steak lacked a good sear, wasn’t very flavorful, and seemed dry instead of tender and juicy. The baked potato was dry and crumbly with barely any butter or toppings, and the green beans were bland and under-seasoned. The fried shrimp were probably the best part of the plate, but they weren’t enough to make up for the rest of the meal. Even the presentation looked rushed and unappetizing. To make matters worse, the Bloody Mary was one of the worst I’ve ever had. It was bland, tasted watered down, and lacked the bold, savory flavor you’d expect. It didn’t taste fresh or well-balanced at all, and I couldn’t even finish it. Considering the price, I expected much better quality in both the food and drinks. Overall, the experience fell far below expectations, and I wouldn’t return or recommend it."

"This is the fist Applebee's I have ever been to that had breakfast! I have to say it was great. It was so good that I ate breakfast here everday for a week. The service was great as well. I was here 8 am every morning and it was slow. I love that about the place. Highley recommended for breakfast. I cant say about after breakfast."
