Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
While I am a fan of the Applebee's chain, my only complaint would be that they Need faster service for lunch. I have waited too long to place an order and have a meal delivered. Which is ironic because Applebee's touts the Express lunch items and that is exactly what I end up ordering. The half salad is always a full size portion. So save yourself a dollar and get a half portion. You will still be satisfied. Their happy hour prices should not be ignored. They serve decent drinks and half price appetizers that will cure any craving. The bartenders are so cheerful that you might find yourself wanting whatever concoction they are sipping on. But in the end they make for great entertainment while you are socializing. I actually find myself at this location because its never crowded. I have scheduled large meetings and social events at this location and have never had the need to call in advance to give them a heads up. They are located in the Burnsville Center closest to the Sears entrance, near Panera Bread. Parking is plentiful.

Applebottoms is everyday average for the most part, but they do a good job introducing new ideas on appetizers and lunch combos which is refreshing. Riblet basket is a safe way to go as is the Chicken wontons on the appetizer menu. I also enjoy the Asian salad which is similar to the wontons but in salad form. Hey, I live in Burnsville so I only have so many options on where to eat.

Nice place. We are party of 8 went to this place. Our server was little bit confused with our order but he fixed it finally. Server is friendly and recommended some stuff which is good. We had a nice sangria and lot of appetizers instead of main course. And the thing is they have happy hour pricing at 12 am in the night which is awesome. Definitely come back to place if we need food at midnight.

This chain is inside the mall. Service was good but waitress was so overly friendly it seemed really fake but can't be upset that she was too friendly...what kind of mean person would I be. Got the mini burgers and fries and they were fine but nothing I'd be craving again. Food came quickly and price was reasonable which is what you would expect from a chain. I don't love to go to places like this but when your hungry and nothing else is around at least you can go here and know that you'll get nice service and decent food.

Not as good as the Southtown Bee, but not bad. Service was good, lunch we had was very good, fresh and served hot. We really like the Bee, all around the country, the food is consistent and poor servers are almost nonexistent.

Spent lunch there today, decided to have the "choose 2" from the lunch menu, so went with their classic and had the Tomato bisque and spicy chicken wrap. Not much of a lunch as the size of the cup that contained the ranch dressing for the wrap was the same size as the wrap. The soup was pretty good- kinda hard to mess up though. Although a first for me, I had to ask for ice to be brought out for my water??? So she did just that - not a new water just a cup of ice for me to pour my water in...

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.
