Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
I don't expect much from a chain restaurant. This Applebee's is fine if you are bored with other places. Their tap lines are perpetually in need of cleaning, but they have some interesting mix drink options. The service was fast and friendly in my experiences.

My buddy and I both had the 7 oz. sirloin. It was full of fat and gristle. Sent back and got the same inedible replacements. My brother in law had the same experience at another Applebee's but couldn't convince us not to order them. He was correct.

The half off apps are a cheap alternative to microwave apps from walmart. Overall a good buy if you are drunk.

Went here for happy hour and half off appetizers with some friends and everyone came home and complained of stomach problems. The drinks were good and the appetizers were ok, but we all could have done without the stomach cramps and nausea. I will not be going back here again. It was an awful experience.

Salmon was over cooked and dry. Veggies were wilted beyond recognition. Onion soup was good as well as the goddess wedge.

After a horrible experience at an Applebee's in Nebraska, I have sworn to never eat at any Applebee's again! However, my mother in law is visiting and she really wanted to eat lunch at Applebee's today. This Applebee's truly impressed me! The staff was nice and the food was really good! Not to mention our waitress was very good! We had an appetizer, drinks, and two create your own lunch specials.... Everything was delicious and we left with full and happy bellies. Needless to say, I will return :)

I gave up on this Applebees over a year ago after my husband and I were seated, then ignored. We sat there and watched a couple come in five minutes behind us, get their drink right away, then their order taken. Not ONE person ever even came up to us. Not even drinks.We sat there for about 15 minutes,....at this point as a joke to see hoe long it would take. After that, I was pissed! We walked out and the door girl said "Hope you enjoyed your dinner",....I just laughed and said "We were ignored, but thanks for asking!" Stupid us, we tried again not that long ago. We were served this time, but nothing to brag about. Mediocre at best. The food is always too much. Over seasoned to hind the nasty food. Just not worth it. I would only suggest going here if you are young, single, college guy that is just looking for a cute, stupid college girl, and a bottled beer! Don't get the on tap flat beer.

Not recommended at all! Service from walking in the door should have been a hint. Not welcoming at all!! Walked in at 10:30 pm to get a quick bit to eat (sign says 11pm closed) I even said at the door "sorry so late can we please get a quick bit?". Cold sholder, I felt was incorect, especially when a company advertises "late night 1/2 off apps". Food awful and may I add a toothpick in my friends salad! I don't know how this place is managing other than it is a chain! Please take my advise and do not eat here especially if your looking for a family, enviting staff!!

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. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
