★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Conway · Nov 2025

Went there at during busy hour. Service was good. I was greeted at the door within 30 seconds of entering, seated with a menu in under a minute. Received my drink within a minute, and placed my order for food. Good atmosphere, relevant music and staff that pays attention to empty glasses. Food was prepared as requested within a reasonable time. Not much else you can ask for. Extra tip for the great staff. I will definitely be returning.

When I walked into the door tonight, me and my spouse were not greeted by anyone. There were two waitresses or workers in the both fixing each others eyelashes right in the first two booths as if they didn’t see people at the door. They continued as if they were at the spa and did not move until they were done. They then proceeded to the back and we never saw them again. Our host was busting tables, cleaning up the back of the dining room and trying to seat people at the same time which didn’t quite seem right. I felt as if he was the hardest working person in the room compared to others that walked around like they didn’t see us and we had to wait fifteen mins to get seated in an almost empty room. He was truly a one man show until our waitress came to the table so that’s why I had to giv

Seems smaller than most Applebee's. Waited almost 30 minutes to be seated. Felt like we barely saw our waitress, but I will say there seemed to be a few large parties there. Had to send appetizer back because it was cold.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tracey Evans · Oct 2025

Service was super slow however servers were standing around the bar, dancing and goofing off. We were one of 3 tables with customers. Salad took forever to come out and had water draining off it, swiss burger was ok but the ultimate bacon burger had a very sweet sauce that didn't allow the meat itself to be tasted. The building on a whole had a dirty smell, but the bathrooms were horrendous. The floors had a slimy coating and the dirty mop smell was a whole new level. I rarely give a super bad review, but we could find nothing in this experience to compliment.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gordon Cross · Nov 2025

The best thing about the restaurant were there friendly greeters. The food was mediocre and they actually got my order wrong, I ordered a medium well hamburger got well done I ordered no tomatoes and got tomatoes, and fries were very salty. As far as the restaurant, it is in need of upgrade or at the very minimum some repairs for the tables.
