Good hot food and prices appear to be the same as the ones in Georgia Illinois and Iowa. This chain seems to be consistently good from one to the next. There was a birthday celebration next to me and not appreciated after 9+ hours of driving but that was my only complaint. Not wanting to spoil things for the birthday boy, I just kept my mouth shut and enjoyed the huge helping of shrimp. I recommend this eatery for overall good food, prices and service.

I had a wonderful experience last night at Applebees. Edgar is by far one of my favorite waiters. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the food. The only complaint I had was the food. I ordered the buffalo blaze Mac and cheese to give it a chance. The Mac and cheese itself was good, but I wasn't crazy out the pairing of the buffalo sauce.

I just had a really horrible cut of beef called a sirloin steak. I ended up leaving half of it in half-chewed chunks on the plate. I will agree it was prepared okay, and had good flavor, but what self-respecting butcher would have cut this nasty slab, and why would a cook use such an obviously poor cut? Come on, Emporia Applebee's, we should be able to expect better quality food.

Once again, on this road trip of sorts, we find ourselves at an Applebee's. Why? There isn't a good explanation. We were with a bunch of people and were going to go to Bruff's which is a steakhouse out in these parts. They couldn't accommodate our large party of 6 adults, 2 kids, and a baby without an hour or so wait. So, we decided to go to Applebee's because we figured they would be more accommodating. We get there and they tell us that it will be 5 to 10 minutes to get our table ready. When they go to seat us they try to give us a booth. We explain that there is no way that we will fit and they realize that they made a mistake in thinking that the kids and baby were part of the original 6. So, back to the waiting area. We waited another 15 minutes to get seated at a table. The waiter came by, took our drink order and being that the Applebee's in NM had amazing pomegranate martinis, I thought I'd give this Applebee's a go at it. Now, while it wasn't a fantastic pomegranate martini it was a vodka martini with some red color and THAT is why they get an extra star from me. If you've looked at my reviews, you know I like to get my drink on. This sucker was so "perfect" that I only needed one. It was that strong. Now onto why I was only going to give them two stars. The service. While I understand that we had a large party, which realistically wasn't that "large," the waiter told us straight out that they didn't want to back up the kitchen so our orders would be coming out in spurts. WTF?! So, they bring out our appetizers. Then the two kids get part of their food. Then a few people got their food. By the time I got my food, half the table was done eating. That is why they get two stars from me. I hope we don't have to go back to this place again, but if we do, I will definitely do it with a smaller group.

I travel quite frequently and Applebee's is my default choice when I really don't feel like exploring the area I'm in. Most of the time the chain doesn't disappoint and this location was no exception. The staff was very courteous and the food was well prepared and served quickly. My favorite part of the experience was the bartender. I visited this location twice and she remembered my name and my drink order after the first visit. It's really nice eat at a place where people know you.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. 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. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak.
