My boyfriend and I come to East Islip Applebees more than once a week. We never have an issue. We always have an issue at other locations on Long Island but not here. The staff is great, especially Samantha she always knows what we like to order and great to have a conversation with. Ali, Nina, and Zack are also great and hard working. Even when we customize our order they always get it right and are sensitive to my gluten allergy. We even see the managers around too. The location itself has special events for the holidays like a breakfast with Santa and the staff even dressed up for Halloween. They are also great at accommodating large groups like when we come with family or friends. It’s the best place to eat in the “neighborhood”.
