Not impressed, waited 5 minutes up front for my to go order. Then my order was awful. 1 burger not made as ordered. 2nd burger looked like it had been eaten. Fries were still white they were so under cooked. Will not order again!

Update: I tried their ribs and cocktails, which were much better than their steaks. The ribs do, in fact, fall off the bone, and the Lemonade was great. The fries were well seasoned. I am upgrading my previous 3 star to 4. Originally it was three due to the steak being completely unseasoned, I am unsure if that's what the steak is supposed to taste like but I will totally avoid the steak unless they show me that they season thete steaks.

We came to this location with a party of 6. We waited about 5ish minutes to be seated. After 25 minutes the waitress finally took our order. A table of 3 was taken ahead of us, another table of 3 taken after us as well as a table of 2. We were there for an hour and all of these other tables had their drinks and food and we never even got our drinks. I understand that usually a larger party means a longer wait time, but an hour for drinks is ridiculous. We finally got up to leave and someone in our party noticed the waitress at the bar just chit chatting with the bartender with our drinks just sitting next to her.

If I could give zero stars I would. The food here was a unique combination of expensive and bad tasting. Going into an Applebee's I would have expected decent quality of food for the money but this was a half step up from McDonald's and as expensive as a regular restaurant. My wife and I did NOT feel good after eating the food. My burger was very greasy and wet. Each bite would burst more grease from the meat. The salad I ordered was BLASTED with dressing and thus inedible. We ordered 4 entrees, one app and two drinks for a total of over $100. For that price I'd rather go to a restaurant that gets their ingredients from real farms or at least whose ingredients don't come in frozen bags. The service wasn't great but that is a staffing issue not a quality of employees issue. They needed a
