Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Ordered the Cedar Salmon to go. Asked if they had Molson Golden to drink while waiting. Bartender opens a bottle and puts it in front of me; MICHELOB GOLDEN LIGHT? I figure it won't kill me, wait, and wait, and wait for my dinner. Much, much later, bartender notices a bag, "Oh, your dinner's been ready for a while!" It's COLD, she asks me if I want to reorder-and wait even longer? Charges full price for a beer I didn't ask for and a dinner that's cold before I walked out the door. I'll never come back. So.... Three days later and I've just talked to the manager on the phone. She agreed the bartender needed to listen better and think of how to make the customer happy when things go wrong-perhaps ask if the manager might be of assistance? She also comped my meal and gave me a little bit more as an apology. She said she will be speaking with the staff on improving service and listening to customers, so I'm willing to give them a second chance, and one more star for working to get better.

The service was friendly enough, but the food was bland. My coffee must have been brewed several hours before it was served. The table was sticky and we were anxious to get our bill and leave. Our server was pleasant.

I was interested in having a nice dinner with my wife and son who we don't get to see all that often any more, he was real hungry and wanted to go to Applebee's for dinner. We walked in and were seated right away, that was at 7pm. We got our drinks right away and ordered at the same time. After forty five min. the waiter finally came by and asked if we got our food yet, I could only just look dumb founded at this guy and wonder if you as my server have not brought me my food how would I've gotten it yet. At eight pm I had had enough of this bad service. My family was hungry so we just got up and went one block away to grizzley's and were served the same meal in twenty min. The things I found wrong with this place was that the server justin did not seam to know what was going on, the lady manager that walk by my table several times would not even make eye contact with me when I tried to get her attention. I have worked in the food service industry and if you're waiting more than twenty min for your food no matter how busy you are you are failing in the game of customer service. I feel that my family was just forgotten about and will never go to this place again even if it was completely free. Dated: 11/15/14

On the plus side, the food at Applebee's is a good cleanse option (much like sugar-free gummy bears from Haribo). On the negative side, I would rather not shit my pants after eating something. Also, the service is usually fine at this location. Applebee's seems to be one of the most popular restaurants in Superior, and I still can't fathom as to why. The food is absolutely atrocious and disgusting. Pretty much the only thing that is worth eating at this place is the mozzarella sticks, and that's saying a lot. I would rather eat at the food court at Target next door than step food into this establishment again. I suggest that you try one of the very limited local restaurants in Superior and give them some business instead of Applebee's, or at the very least go to Grizzly's. If you must eat at Applebee's, wear a diaper. Or, eat before you go and just drink your dinner.

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.
