This place is disappointing every time. Last night/valentines day I went in and waited for about 15 minutes for my pick up order. I asked the hostess if my food was ready and she went to the back. She came back out and didn’t say anything to me. I want to make it clear that everyone else in the building was hustling and bustling. She was just standing there. I had to approach her again and she said she didn’t know if my food was ready and that they didn’t answer her. After waiting a half an hour I was able to get someone else’s attention and they let me know that they bagged up my food at least 10 minutes before. Super nice lady told me to call if there was a problem. Obviously had to microwave my food when I got home. All that and my food was made wrong. I called and the manager I spoke with told me they were slammed and it was a holiday. My food was cooked and bagged…. the hard part was over. The wait isn’t an issue but the hostess’s lack of service and ability to communicate is. Thanks for the cold food!

I'm struggling between 3 and 4 stars. Why? The service was great, and the atmosphere was a cool, laid-back vibe, but the food was ok. First, we ordered appetizers. We ordered the queso dip and spinach dip. The spinach dip was gross. I didn't like it. The queso dip was a small portion and semi warm. This was shocking considering Applebee's is usually a decent place to eat. The appetizers were overpriced for the portion sizes as my meal cost as much as each appetizer. Now, I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The bacon cheeseburger was on point. I just wished the burger fit the bun. The thickness of the patty was great, but I'd rather it fit my bun and be thinner. They cooked it perfectly. No complaints on the bacon cheeseburger. The fries, on the other hand, were not hot but tasted old and semi warm as if they'd been under a heat lamp. The ranch is really good here. I like dipping my fries in ranch. The cost of that meal compares to the cost of a value meal at a fast food restaurant. I was pleased with the price! Who wouldn't rather eat at a restaurant for the same price as a fast food restaurant?! In fact, it may have been slightly cheaper but not much. Regardless, if you read my reviews, you know I am not a fan of fast food chains. Plus, for the same price you get served and the service was great. My friend ordered some salad bowl or rice bowl, which looked AMAZING. It had fresh avacado, rice, chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, and more. My other friend ordered a steak, the ribeye. She said it was just okay. My guess is that it wasn't hot or had sat too long before arriving, similar to my fry situation. Of course, if you want a great steak, you go to a steakhouse. At least, that's my philosophy. You wouldn't order a hamburger at a sushi restaurant. I'm just saying. Her mashed potatoes looked cold, and she didn't care for them. Also, we ordered drinks...it was happy hour. I ordered margaritas. Unfortunately, it tasted more like the mix than anything. It was disappointing. If you've had a good margarita, then you know, and I have. This was way too much mix! Of course, after watching the bartender, make other drinks, I understood why. He was barely filling his measuring cup for the alcohol halfway up. I didn't complain. My friend ordered a pina colada, which she seemed to thoroughly enjoy. She let me try it, and I thought it seemed watered down. It lacked that good, strong coconut taste. Like when you get a snow cone without enough syrup. I've eaten at Applebee's in the past, and this was my first semi-dissappointed experience. The best part of it all was the people I was with! Plus, no one was on their phones! If you are going to go out to eat with someone, be present, don't be on your phone the whole time. Life is about the quality time you spend with those who matter. Time is precious and the one thing you can't get back. Make memories. Don't spend your time on your phone, and don't allow your kids to do the same. It cracks me up that people fail to acknowledge the dangers of technology, especially the phone. Phones have become so important that they are more important than spending quality time with those we love or care about. Now, it's about getting the perfect pictures for social media or living vicariously through Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, or the many other social platforms rather than living in the moment. It's hard to live up to an image one creates online, and it takes away from the life we should be living IN! Memories are moments you can't get back. So live in the moment and create memories that last forever! The greatest gift you can give someone is your time! Don't waste your time or THEIRS by spending it on your phone!! One day, you don't want to wake up regretting not doing so! Time flies, and life is too short. Be sure that those who matter to you, those you love KNOW where they stand. It's never too late...unless they're gone! Don't wait for that to happen! Be kind

Great deals and delicious food. We did the 2 for 32, I got the chicken and shrimp, and my wife got the steak. They were cooked perfectly, staff was short but they were all great.
