Best service. Food was amazing. Wait time was very short. Maxine made my gummy fruit drink and it was bomb. Melissa was our waitress and did an excellent job. She was very attentive and very sweet. We come here alot and have never had a bad experience. My fiance got the the om cheeseburger and said it was the best burger hes ever had. I got the cajun salmon which was equally as good. Will definitely be back in the future as we live in the area. Thanks for the awesome service ladies....

Thank you for accommodating my entire wrestling team, managers, coaches and some parents on such short notice after our state qualifying tournament. The food and service was great especially for such a large group and after 10 pm. Would definitely recommend the Waverly-Shell Rock Applebee's.
