I just signed up for Yelp to make this review. That's how irritated I am. I'm writing this while waiting in the parking lot. I put in an online order. I received an email, saying it would be ready at 7:50. I got here at exactly 7:40, but the car side parking spots were taken, so I waited for one to open. One became available at 7:46. Not a single employee came outside until 8:10. That's 24 minutes I waited just for someone to come outside. She finally came and got my name and my money. It's now 8:26, and she just came back out to tell me, "We're just finishing up your food right now." Oh god news. She just brought my food. It's 8:31. I will never again come to this place. Ever. Edit: looks like I was wrong. I had to come back to return THE WRONG FOOD. Don't get me wrong, I can understand mistaking a red 350Z for a white van, but I feel like with the hour they had, they could have discerned the difference. So here I sit at the bar while they remake my food. It's 9:08. I may just starve to death before I get the correct food from this place. The 1 star is for the manager. Pleasant guy, considering there are three other people waiting here with similar complaints.

Asked for the "Oriental Chicken Wrap" which is something they use to offer on their menu, which they now offer as a salad, literally just take the salad and put it inside of a tortilla and roll it up. Viola! Oriental chicken wrap... The server agrees to it and it gets sent back to the kitchen. 2 minutes later she, who by the way is great, says the kitchen says they can't do that... So they send out the salad and a tortilla and I made it myself. Then the server comes to me and says her manager MADE her apologize to me and the kitchen or else she'd lose her job!!! Really?! Fire your server for trying to please the customer??? The management here is the worst I've ever seen! Terrible... The server however, was super kind, we are our "food" tipped her $20 and split! Won't be back! Ever! I do however hope that our server also splits and finds a job somewhere where she is respected!!

The cedar grilled lemon chicken is really good. I would have enjoyed it more if the menu had warned me of the celery used in the green apple relish. I would have requested it with out the relish since this is an allergy for me. I found out too late as I bit into it.

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.
