Apple Barrel Cafe

Excellent food. I love all the options. It was very busy, but we were seated in a timely manner. We sat at the counter and soon were served. They were able to make the food to our vegetarian tastes and it was good. I really love the Waffles which are some of the best I have had. My wife had a pancake, it was good, but not my favorite. I would suggest coming here for a wide variety of flavors and tastes. The food and service are both very good.

You have to try this place! We eat here at least a couple of times a month, usually more. Even when they're busy, and they usually are, the wait isn't long and the service is still fast and friendly. On top of that the portions are huge and the food is delicious. My favorite is breakfast, the hash browns are always perfect. My husband loves their grilled chicken salad, pictured. It's not like any other grilled chicken salad I've ever seen! Don't get me started on their fries, they're homemade and look like giant onion rings.

I go in there by myself a lot, I used to be a secret shopper but wasn’t when I was inspecting this place. I can really tell they are short staffed right now, they even reduced their hours at certain locations. I’m pretty sure there’s only one cook right now at this specific location and they are currently training new hires. Food came out wrong first time I ordered but the girl who waited on me was new, which I completely understood and just sent it back. I can honestly say they are trying their best. Every restaurant is being hit hard right now due to the pandemic and they are just trying to get back on their feet. It’s a hard transition. Especially to try to find new staff, to get them acclimated to their new environment and still make it work. I normally order the chicken crepes, the first time I received them I found them mediocre, but the second time I visited today they were very well made. Better spices, presentation and overall flavor. No screw ups. It takes time but they will get there. Seeing all of the low reviews of this place (especially being written during the worst of the pandemic) made it very disheartening. They are trying and it’s working. Give them a chance, people. I find this place very cozy and the wait staff were all helpful and great. Will go back again. Good job guys, I just wanted you to know someone appreciates the hard work you are putting in to get your place back on its feet during the pandemic.

This is our go-to breakfast place! The food is great with large portions and the service is awesome. Connie is so sweet and works so hard for her customers. The entire staff is always friendly and even when they’re short-handed, they’re working their tails off. Anyone with common sense knows that restaurants and other businesses are struggling to find workers right now. We could all show some grace for the workers that are showing up every day and doing their best to provide service to us instead of posting untrue reviews and rude comments.

Love the food, but the customer service is lacking. My waiter forgot to check in and take our order after the first greeting and another waitress felt sorry for us and took over. Then she thought he would resume with his duties but didn't. At one point I had to flag down another server just for water whenever my servers had passed my table 4 times and saw my empty water glass.
