Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
The Good: a standard restaurant where you know the food won't taste horrible, they have multiple games on at once, their fries. The Bad: they have direct tv, which means any games on the tv tend to have the signal cut out often, an employee eating in front of the customers while on the clock, the place just isn't very lively, and customer service is subpar. The Rundown: this place is just a sports bar with food, not a particularly good one either. Their beer selection is mostly the low grade Bud, Miller, Coors, with a few decent alternatives. Their burger was actually pretty good and their wings as well, though not really spicy enough for me, the hottest I got was their hot, so if you like spicy go a little higher. Their fries were really good, crispy and flavorful. Coming from working in the food service industry it really bothers me to see when people do things that are obviously something you shouldn't while on the clock, such as eating in front of the customers, our server was doing just that. The Impression: not impressed, I see no real reason to frequent this place and will only return if there is no other restaurant within an hour and I am starving.

Oh the noise. Bar under construction at dinner time. No alcohol due to the construction. They couldn't put bottles on the fridge? Milk for the kid?? Waitress unsure because milk comes from the bar which is under construction. Asked if guacamole is made in house. Waitress not sure. Is there training here. Does the manager know how to run some specials while customers are subjected to the inconveniences? I'll skip this place next time.

If you like bar type food, it's not bad. I like it. This is not where you go if you're on a diet or worried about cholesterol. It is what it is. Dine in service inside has always been pretty good. Why a 3 instead of a 5? My family sends me out for a lot of carry out. My wife and daughter really like the food, but I absolutely hate their carry-out service. I refuse to go get another carry-out after the last three times of being sent to the bar, and ignored, while the bartender flirts with liquored-up patrons for better tips. It was so bad last time that another customer asked if they were going to wait on me or not, while I was trying to be patient. Strike three, you're out. I would still dine in though, I've never had a bad experience there.

They have good food here. I've been here many times and they're consistent. Kinda expensive (for what it is), but since it's so predictable I'll pay it. You know you'll have a good meal when you eat here.

Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain.
