Applebee's

This was my first visit to an Applebee's and I was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I took advantage of their current $8.99 hamburger combo deal and had the bacon cheeseburger with fried onions strings, fresh onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and an incredible whiskey infused sauce. It was an excellent burger and the fries were done up quite nicely as well. We went there for lunch so I had mango lemonade with my meal. I've never had such an amazing blend of sweetness and tartness combined. It is definitely my new favorite type of lemonade! My husband had raspberry iced tea and said it was good as well. If you want to dine at Applebee's later in the afternoon or evening they also offer two types of specials where you can get two salads or an appetizer to share along with two meals. They have a $22 version or a $27 which both offer a variety of choices. The also offer beer and mixed drinks and have a happy hour. For those of you that work late they also offer 50% of all appetizers after 9:00 pm every evening. In addition to all that they also have a kid's menu and hi chairs, TV's showing sports, and tablets the kids can play games on at some of the tables. I would say it's pretty kid friendly as well 😊.

Thomas was very kind and helpful while I was trying to make a decision for my order. He repeated the long list of options for the current "2 for" deals very patiently and willingly. He went over specific ingredients that were included in some of the entres making sure my family would not have any adverse/distasteful reactions. Great service. It shows that he really does care about the customers at Applebee's.

The managers here are clueless how to make sure the products that come out of the kitchen are up to Applebee's standards. Recently I had their new Steak fajitas rollup. The meat was closer to black in color without flavor and very chewy. The servers are using tablets to place you order but if you want garlic mash potatoes instead of rice... hope you like rice. When the kitchen messes up the managers want to offer you a free dessert. How about apologize and get it right the next time? Ugh!
