Oh man, I have to give this one to my husband: he despises applebees but I have always been a fan. Well, after tonight, he wins. I'll never go again. Maybe it's me, and my taste has matured, or maybe applebees has gone far downhill. All we ordered were drinks and appetizers and they couldn't get that right. All over they are advertising Snoop and Martha's new Gin drinks. Mine was $10, husband's was $7. They didn't garnish it with what was in the pictures posted everywhere in the restaurant. And wow were they weak. Pure juice. I ordered the Spinach artichoke and it was worse than the one you get at Walmart. Tasted like a frozen one that you microwave except they didn't microwave mine long enough. It was cold half way through. My husband got the queso and it tasted again, like something fro

I was having trouble loading a special code they were advertising, I called the restaurant, the manager, Micky, told us come in and she’d help us. She was great! She came outside to our car and went through the order process on my phone, was so friendly! Then to top it off she brought us two free soft drinks to drink while we waited for our order. That was so nice! Great manager!!!

I came in on a Sunday evening and a server came to my table shortly after. I ended up ordering the salmon with a side of broccoli and mash potatoes and the wait was not bad at all. It was busy but not too crowded so I was surprised they got to me so fast but I will take it. Overall experience was nice and I definitely don’t mind coming back to this location again soon.

Service was great. Store was clean. Food was good. No errors on our food order. One thing of note is the TP dispenser in a toilet stall sticks out as far as the edge of the stool. It's practically in your lap as you sit. Reaching the paper is awkward. Not the fault of the crew working today.
