Applebee's has good food and good variety. Their two for $ are nice but price has raised over the years. Not surprising but limits our dog to the restaurant. Only special reasons now. Service was slow and our waitress had a very large party to serve as well as other tables and there was only one other waitress. We got there at 12 noon for lunch and didn't leave till 2:30. We tried paying on the table app and it ended up with computers down and charged us twice abs then for our meal and someone else's meal at our table which they paid in cash after getting some bills reversed out when computers went down. They said to wait 24 hrs and the amount would be credited back to our card for our friends meals that they ended up paying for in cash with the mess it caused. Amount never got credited back to our card and after a phone call, they said they would look into it and call back and never did. So, advice is not to use the table tablet but pay the waitress and make sure it's correct. Two calls later and still no resolution for the $34+ meal that got paid for twice that day. Other than that, we enjoyed the food.

Food was good but food delivery was slow. Normal Applebee's atmosphere. Waitress just seemed uninterested.

Can't complain. I had their sample platter, it's a huge serving of appetizers and the French onion soup. Very filling!

Sewage Smell! This place literally smelled like sewage when we walked inside!! On Friday 3/22/2024 Me, my wife and our friend walked through the doors and a very strong sewage smell hit us like a ton of bricks. We thought it would go away, but it did not. The host was about to sit us at our table and we just couldn't stand the smell so we told him we would be leaving. I don't know how anyone who was there on Friday eating or working there could stand that smell. Maybe it was an isolated incident but this was our experience. The food and service may have been great but we couldn't stay.

I went in to get two salads to go. A wonderful young lady by the name of Jasmine took my order and was so kind and showed me that there were two types of the same chicken salad. She smiled was so helpful and I let the manager know that she is awesome, because I used to be a waitress and to walk in and have somebody smiling and going above and beyond is what I look for when I go in a restaurant whether it's take out or dine in. She was the best!

Great Riblets as always! Must say that it's kind of frustrating that I had to order my own drink & food vua the table "gamer/menu" tablet-thingy... my server was too busy at the bar with other customers.. she was nice tho' but I still tipped her because she brought my food & drink....I did call for her once for a refill also via that table tablet-thingy.. my drink needed refilling. Otherwise, satisfactory lunch
