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.

Not only was it Sunday, but I was tired, so walked a few meters from the motel to Apple Peddler. The senior chicken breast was grilled and okay. The carrots were over cooked and watery. The baked potato was well done, came wrapped in aluminum foil that must be carefully removed so as to insure that none of the highly toxic foil will be ingested. Two scoops of butter were already in the potato so the little container of sour cream was not used.

Awful! O my G*d I've Never been to a worse restaurant! Is there a no star review? I couldn't cut the steak if I had a chainsaw, they were out of three items I ordered and they brought us packaged ketchup! A restaurant with no ketchup in bottles??? WTF?! Never again will I Ever go there
(1)Allen C.
Kinda surprised all the bad reviews. Found it clean, cheap and good. Been here a few times and have always had good service.
(4)Jerry M.
If you are looking for a gourmet place to eat, you won't find it here. I'd almost hate to own a restaurant in a small town like Burns. Food here is middle of the road, and you can classify it in with Denny's, Carrow's and Perkins. I'm an iced-T lover, and I can usually tell how the meal is going to be by the taste of the tea they serve. If it comes to the table fresh tasting, then the meal will at least be decent. If it comes to the table with that stale-haven't-cleaned-the-pot-in-weeks taste, then I can surely bet the meal will, well, suck. I got good Iced Tea, and the Chicken Fried Steak was actually not a hockey puck that I could cut with only my fork. Mashed potatoes were the processed kind you would expect to find and definately not hand mashed onsite. The salad was crisp and fresh as well. Only thing I wasn't all that crazy over was the mixed vegetable that came with my meal. I like Veggies, these just weren't my cup of tea. There was one waitress working tonight. Again, small town...may have people...may not. I have to give her good kudos for keeping up with everyone that came in during my visit. She checked on me several times and was very courteous and friendly. Oh, and maybe it's because it's almost Christmas, but the rotating pie display was completely full and had a ton of choices.
(3)Linda S.
Don't go there. Really don't. The food was really bad. If you could buy it canned, they did. They were out of the special at 8, but it really didn't matter because everything we had was so bad that I can't imagine it would have been good. The hot roast beef sandwich was covered with canned gravy. The chinese chicken salad was iceburg lettuce with some strips of fried chicken (which in all honesty was the best part of the dinner - not too bad.) and canned chow mein noodles. The dressing was mostly sugary oil. Following 45 minutes of bad service, we had to go find our waiter (he was in the next room reading the newspaper) to get the check. I wish we had gone to Subway instead.
(1)Bridget R.
Denny's is more consistent- at least you know what you are getting there. The wait staff is good, and I feel bad for their lot, having to serve over-priced diner food. Seriously, the omelets are generally undercooked, the portions are small, and the food is canned/frozen/dehydrated. Each time I've gone there, the toast has been...not toast, as in, not toasted! When I asked for my toast to be re-toasted, I was told that the toaster wasn't working. OK, then, don't sell something you call 'toast', if you cannot provide it. Yeah, it's open all the time, and there is worse out there. If you are driving through Burns in the middle of the night, you'll get something that passes as sustenance, but dang! Perkins is way better!
(2)KB S.
I lunched on a hot pork sandwich. It was mediocre but worth eating in Burns/Hines since there are very little choices. The CFS at dinner after hiking in Steens was nearly inedible; as were the sides. Service is quite good. Go to RJ Drive In or try Rhojo's (if open and you have $$$).
(1)Jonathan M.
Went to this restaurant with my family for breakfast. Walked in, saw that they had some breakfast specials written on the white board. The place looked kinda old. Think of a Denny's but not as clean. After we were seated I asked the waitress what consisted of the specials, and the response I got was one of the most rude responses i have ever received. She acted like if I were to already know what was in them, and responded extremely rude (ex. "what comes with the 3 cheese omolette special"? Response, " Uhm? An omolette with 3 cheeses"). But with the crappiest attitude. Then when you would aak for anything, the waitress with the caked make up would put on the biggest sigh, like if she completely forget that she was a waitress and forgot that she had to serve you. And when she would bring it. She would just literally toss it at the end of the table. As far as the food goes... Definitely not worth the price, save your money and go elsewhere. $10 for a crappy breakfast, ain't worth it.

One star seems to be necessary to invoke the dialog box, so be it. One star it should be said, is an embarrassment of generosity for this strange and uniquely terrible restaurant. Truthfully, restaurant is a word connected with The Apple Peddler only in that food or things resembling food, are served at tables with places to sit. If you imagine previous reviews of this establishment to perhaps be critical because the diners were petty or mean, you may find their judgement revealed in a frightening avalanche of truth if you choose to dine in this cafe of culinary horror. Nothing ... in previous reviews is inaccurate with regard to the sheer absence of ability or desire ... to prepare food to be served. Forewarned, we drove to The Peddler on a summer Saturday night, out of desperation. Burns' other choices were undesirable for us. Surf and Turf for me, French Toast for my lady. How could you besmirch steak and frozen seafood ... how could you malign French Toast? But! We were not long to find out! The magician chef ... visible over a counter ... found ways! The steak was all right. Without doubt it had been part of a cow, and was cooked in an agreeable fashion. There were canned green beans and a baked potato. It was at this point that any resemblance of quality departed! I have forgotten the salad! Did I mention the salad? No. The meal came with a simple dinner salad which would have been just fine ... if it hadn't been made 24 hours earlier. It was iceberg lettuce ... rendered nearly translucent by hours of waiting. A solitary carrot stick lay languishing atop this sad pile, its edges turning white with dehydration. The dressing was a white grease with dark specks. The otherwise edible steak was served on top of a "bed" ... I lack adequate description here ... a "thick flat lump," of something ... which we think ... may have once been potatoes. The result was comical. It had the appearance of a prop in a Slapstick Comedy. Otherwise it was repulsive. But let us not forget The Turf. Beside the frightful mystery patty holding up my steak, was an assortment of extremely dark ... brown ... objects. Four of these might have been those famous inventions of American ingenuity ... Tater Tots ... but examination proved this not true! Much too hard to be a Tater Tot, the brown shell of annealed grease and breading flour, hardened nearly to ceramic by a volcanic stay in the deep fryer, yielded. Inside, was what had been a scallop. Three breaded shrimp accompanied the poor scallops ... flattened and fired to a textured porcelain like their companions, there was no reason to eat them. They had suffered enough. It is sad to think anyone would support a business run like this one. But I am reminded of the French Toast. How ... you may ask ... could you fail in the preparation of this simple and often elegant use of bread? This is explained as we observe only one man, in the kitchen. And were this man cooking instead in a prison ... he would no doubt be in great danger ... since certainly convicts would soon exact revenge against the architect of meals so awful. This man created in his vast cooking ignorance, French Toast which tasted like cardboard ... but lacked its structural continuity ... manifesting as rectangles of gathered mush. Accompanying this were pieces of bacon as flat, connected, and hard as asphalt floor tile. We asked if we might have a replacement ... and it was graciously replaced with a duplicate so exact as to defy understanding. I've provided some pictures. Be kind to yourselves ... look before you eat. The crews of Whaling Ships ate better meals than you may find at the aptly named Peddler.

Warning!!! Kind of scary right from the loud waitresses gossiping about coworkers to food served slow and cold. Keep driving...
(1)Jen P.
Will never go back. Biscuits hard even with gravy over them. Pork sausages taste like chemicals. Scrambled eggs not fully cooked. Beef n gravy cold. Waitress with poor waiting skills. McDonalds would have been better!!
(1)Kirk S.
If the meal for 2 only cost $12 instead of $36, I wouldn't bother writing a review because, hey! What do you expect? Well let me tell you, this was THE worst meal my wife and I have ever had. All we could do was laugh at it. The pulled pork sandwich I ordered looked as if it was pre-chewed for me and my wife ordered the beef jerky......I mean French dip sand which. Oh how we wished we had gone to Dairy Queen. As well, the strawberry shortcake dessert didn't come on shortcake, it came on a couple of biscuits not unlike what you'd get with biscuits and gravy.
(1)Angelia R.
I cannot believe we stayed to eat after we walked in. Customer service was ok, our waitress was friendly. The booth seats had holes and didn't look clean. The menus were so old that the corners had been worn completely off so that you couldn't read them very well. Our food was nasty. I got the 'special' steak and eggs because I have to eat gluten free. Steak was gristly and flavorless, eggs were severely undercooked (whites were not set all the way). My son got chicken nuggets, and the nuggets were HOLLOW. Daughter got a patty melt, and I think she was the only one that liked her meal. Hubby got a bacon cheeseburger. Burger was BURNED, cheese was not melted and it was bland and flavorless. I hope to spend many more days and hours in this town, but I will NEVER eat there again.
(1)Tyler C.
OK so it took forever to get our drinks after being seated. Then the food was just OK, nothing seemed fresh just frozen heat up sort of deal, and the hashbrowns were so oily even my kids would not eat it. The chemistry on the soda was off and we were never offered refills on our drinks. The bathrooms were dirty, and the staff was way more into each other then the guests. Would not recommend eating here.
(1)Kimberly T.
Do not eat here! If i could give -3 stars i would! Came here to eat with my family and ordered the French Toast and a slice of ham. My ham was burnt and the French Toast was flat, lifeless, and saturated in cinnamon. My mother ordered a chili burger and it came cold. Honestly probably would have been better to eat at McDonald's.

I lunched on a hot pork sandwich. It was mediocre but worth eating in Burns/Hines since there are very little choices. The CFS at dinner after hiking in Steens was nearly inedible; as were the sides. Service is quite good. Go to RJ Drive In or try Rhojo's (if open and you have $$$).

Went to this restaurant with my family for breakfast. Walked in, saw that they had some breakfast specials written on the white board. The place looked kinda old. Think of a Denny's but not as clean. After we were seated I asked the waitress what consisted of the specials, and the response I got was one of the most rude responses i have ever received. She acted like if I were to already know what was in them, and responded extremely rude (ex. "what comes with the 3 cheese omolette special"? Response, " Uhm? An omolette with 3 cheeses"). But with the crappiest attitude. Then when you would aak for anything, the waitress with the caked make up would put on the biggest sigh, like if she completely forget that she was a waitress and forgot that she had to serve you. And when she would bring it. She would just literally toss it at the end of the table. As far as the food goes... Definitely not worth the price, save your money and go elsewhere. $10 for a crappy breakfast, ain't worth it.
