Applebee's Grill + Bar

I never leave reviews but tonight's dining experience was so comically bad that I had to. I'll use the same criteria as Google.

Atmosphere: None of the exterior lighting for this Applebee's works and walking up to the front door is almost sinister as you can see the emaciated husk of Triangle Town Center from their half-abandoned parking lot. Inside it's dimly lit and looks like a generic chain sports bar. It literally looks like the restaurant Shenanigans from the movie Waiting.

Service: Our waitress took 5-10 minutes to greet us, another 10-15 to bring us waters, clearly forgot to put in our orders, and when she did rush the order in it was wrong. We began to notice the long wait at around the 15 minute mark when we'd asked for water and our waitress was nowhere to be found. At one point I legitimately wondered if the hostess' water would break before we got some to drink. (She was super preggo - like 4th trimester pregnant). After the drinks came out, we sat and waited for over 30 minutes for boneless wings before finally asking a completely different server about our food. Once we asked him, within 10 minutes our appetizer came out. It's clear she sat on the order and then once someone asked she rushed it in on the fly. The boneless wings were the only hot part of our entire meal. Our entrees came out 20 minutes later lukewarm to cold - my food with the incorrect sauce and my wife's food cooked to the wrong temp. (I know that sounds nitpicky to complain about the sauce but my plate was literally just chicken tenders, fries, and sauce. There was literally 3 things on the plate and she somehow got that wrong.) Regarding the cold food, I'm guessing it sat in the expo window dying and that she didn't stagger the entrees. After almost ninety minutes in an Applebee's and politely waiting despite the horrible service, our waitress then proceeded to give us the most half-baked and insincere outro I've ever heard in my life.

Food: The food here is clearly just frozen food that's cooked when orders are placed. I could have gone to Target and bought all these ingredients for less money and then cooked them in my air fryer. It also probably wouldn't have taken 90 minutes.

Overall, just don't come here unless you have a fetish for bad service and frozen chicken nuggies.
