The bar and primarily the bartender Candance is the only reason we come to Applebee's. She is attentive, friendly and makes you feel comfortable whether your a regular or a first timer. If it wasn't for Candance we would drive to Fayetteville or Raleigh, and would no issue doing so.
February 2025
Went with the wife and son for an early dinner. As we Entered there seem to be a lot of confusion. It wasn't busy then but apparently it was earlier as they ran out of hamburger rolls. With a grocery store down the street maybe they could have sent someone out for more when they were down to their last 2 or 3. On this visit we could have named it Crabapplebees. However, the food that did arrive was tasty so why the 3 stars.
