It was a pretty decent experience but I brought two friends from out of town and the rice bowl looked nothing like the picture, the other order to steak medium rare and it came out medium or more as it had no pink in it whatsoever and medium rare could have red in it I ordered a drink and before I ordered the drink which was a blended frozen drink I asked if they could add a shot to it and they said yes, but then when they went to make it they brought it back oh we can't blend that together you have to add your shot afterwards well that doesn't blend the shot with the frozen drink at all I would have gotten something different but they didn't tell me that after they brought me the drink which I thought was very underhanded when they knew that the drink I was trying to make was specifically that blended with a shot of patron and they charge me $3 for and then just brought in in a shot and had me stick it inside of it that didn't blend it all so I pretty much got it all at one drink.
The food was decent other than the weight overcooked steak in the unappetizing looking bull but it tasted good according to my friend and that's a big portion of it but we asked for Waters in extra napkins and it took an incredibly long time for us to get them even though they weren't overly busy.
And the way they handled the drink which was a $10 drink they should have made it blended I don't know why they couldn't do that or they should have told me that before they served me the drink not after the fact that just left a bad taste in my mouth and kind of ruined the experience.
I won't be in a hurry to run back and spend $100 on a meal for three people when they don't even cook their food correctly or aren't honest about how they serve their drinks just kind of left a sour taste...
Read morewe are first time customers and wanted an early dinner. there were only about 3 tables and 2 bar patrons in the restaurant ... the bartender was our waitress. my guest ordered the triple bacon burger & fries ... $10.99 i ordered the salmon dinner ..$14.99
after about 20 minutes i asked where our dinner was ... our server was at the bar talking to someone ... after getting her attention she rushed into the kitchen and brought us our slighly warm meal. it was sitting for awhile waiting for her to pick up. the burger had 2 slices of bacon on top ... what makes it a triple bacon burger? on the platter for the burger were a small handful of french fries ... enough for a childs porton. my salmon was very well cooked and only warm and very dry. it looked nothing like the picture on the menu and it was a small slab of salmon .... very sad. i asked for the manager and she was very graceful and after showing her the diet triple cheeseburger ... she brought out more fries and bacon ... she did ask to help the salmon, but we were hungry and eat it and thanked her anyway. your happy hour has $3 bud light ... i got a miller lite because you had no bud light ... charged $4 mot the $3 happy hour prices ... your food looks great on the television ...$46.50 + tip not too much value here ... pass this along to your staff ... we hope to try...
Read moreI have always enjoyed Applebee's. A fun spot, distinctive menu and food that is comforting and does not disappoint. I also live their support for Veterans on Veterans Day.
On this particular day, a friend and I were out doing errands and knew we'd end our day getting a bite to eat but not sure where to go.
We had time to decide as we drove around town completing our errands. Alas, we pass a sign depicting Applebee's 1/2 price appetizers from 3pm - 6pm. That's going to be the spot.
When we arrive we are greeted by friendly staff. We are seniors with differing abilities and we were not rushed and made to feel very welcome.
Our plan was to order 2 appetizers each from the specific appetizer special menu. But the rib dinner was yelling out to us right from the page.
My dining companion, more senior than I, decided to split the rib dinner and have one appetizer each. Still have to be budget conscious in today's economic climate.
Our server was great! The food was good and my companion actually took half of her's home for later.
The lighting in the dining area was dark for 3pm-6pm. I'm not sure if Applebee's was conserving energy or setting an evening ambiance early. Either way, this wasn't a date, we didn't need special lighting. Just two seniors looking for peace, comfort and good food. We found it all...
