Applebee's in Saginaw

“With so many chain restaurants going from bad to worse these days, it was a refreshing experience at Applebee's on Tittabawassee Rd. Jaclyn gave us great service and knew the price of all the drinks. (For some crazy reason, the menu has no prices which gives the impression that if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it). Drinks were great and reasonably priced. The bacon cheeseburger tacos were a perfect appetizer. The sides (mashed potatoes, Cole slaw, garlic green beans and onion/mushrooms) were some of the best sides we've experienced. Remarkably, the Bourbon chicken and shrimp was not overcooked; just right, moist plump and tender. Even more remarkable was that my medium rare sirloin was perfectly cooked too; very pink with red at the core! It was clear from the very appetizing plating to the perfectly cooked meat that whoever is doing the cooking here is way more sophisticated than the typical chain line cook. At this establishment, it would appear that they are not just following the corporate guidelines, they are inventing the best practices.“

“Food was great, place was clean, service was excellent. The young lady we had as a waitress was Ella and she was very sweet and efficient when getting what our table needed. Ella, if you see this keep up your hard work and I appreciate how sweet and soft spoken you are. Thank you!“
