I ordered a farmers omelette cooked soft, and rye toast well done, very good! The presentation was as good to the eye, as it was good for the palette!! The waitress never removed my empty plate, no one likes plates not cleared when done. All the staff were friendly, and the time of day they were slow. I will stop in again when I'm in the area.“

Had a great experience at Applebee’s! The food was fresh and flavorful—I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, and it was perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive, though the wait time was a bit longer than expected. The atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. Overall, a solid choice for good food and a relaxed dining experience.

Would definitely come back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I saw this trending in my doordash app for weeks before I finally decided to try it and I'm really glad I did. I ordered from the Grand Blanc location. I got double chicken and rice and it also included jalapenos, onions, peppers and tomatoes, and something called sizzle sauce. It was super tasty and the portions were amazing. I ate on it three different times. But what I really appreciated most was how small all the pieces were .....everything was diced really fine and mixed really well. I got the mild level spice which was spicier than I would have liked but it had fantastic flavor. I just had to chill it out a little bit with some more ranch. Those fresh jalepenos hitting. I'm eager to try some of the other items they have on their menu as they sound super tasty. This will become a staple for me for sure. They have steak and brisket and other items I'm going to try in my bowl next time. They have specialty egg rolls I want to try. Check them out definitely the service was amazing, the quality was great, the portions were great, the price seemed a little high but they're often running deals like buy one get one. A go-to.“

The cook they have now is incredible. He’s clearly a professional—his plating was on point, the food came out cooked perfectly, and he handled the entire kitchen by himself with ease. No chaos, no yelling—just smooth, quality work. You could tell he takes pride in what he does.

This kind of effort deserves real credit. If this cook stays, this location is going to be amazing. I’ll definitely be back again“
