We came here for lunch after spending some time in the mall, and the food court looked a little lackluster. We got the 2 for $26, which is still a pretty decent deal despite the cost going up in the past couple years. We did the mozzarella sticks for our appetizer, and I got a classic burger as my meal. Our server, whose name I forget, was super nice. The mozzarella sticks were good, and I expected them to be decent since they were likely frozen. The burger was also good, but when it was brought out to me, it did not have cheese on it despite it having it in the picture. I sliced my burger in half to get a picture of the middle of the patty, I asked for medium. When I told my server that I thought that the burger came with cheese, he responded “It does.” And I showed him it didn’t have che

The person came over to sit us down, said we had wait. But we looked around the whole restaurant. The tables were empty, yet she walked away. And another gentleman came over and more people came in the door and he was going to sit them down. First, which he said, we weren't on a waiting list. Afterwards we sat down after my wife complained. The server was very nice. Food was very lousy. It was oversaulted. I ate in plenty of Applebee's before. But for some reason, it felt like someone took the bottle of salt and just dumped it. I wanted to get out of there as quick as possible, the server was nice we left a nice tip

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Stark Food Critic · Mar 2023

Host was great even under a busy situation. Our server lacked knowledge of what they had available but we’ve had worse. Under staffed definitely. Food was great and seasoned. I ordered a whiskey sour and it definitely needed more whiskey, and no ice. They fill the glass up with ice to fill it and cut down how much they give, not my favorite at all.

OK, I ordered the two for 25. You picked two entrées and you pick one appetizer. We decide to order onion rings instead of the french fries but we weren’t told the onion rings would be an extra five dollars on the 25 which made it $30 we ordered the cheeseburger that was split in half an up ended OK never never ever again that hamburger was stuck to the iron skillet. I had to pry it off with a knife and a fork. The onion rings were so heavy and greasy horrible. We had a waitress named Raven and she was very very good service she was excellent food sucked !!!!!
