Applebee's in Fargo

“Tonight we had Jenna as a waitress. She did a great job being friendly, efficient and explained how the tabletop checkout worked. Hey we are boomers! We need that assistance. Food came in a short time and was good. Many years ago I was a waitress in college, my husband ran a kitchen. We both greatly appreciated a job well done by this restaurant.“

“I went in for dinner and left three hours later convinced I’d joined a suburban cult that worships mozzarella sticks and half-price drinks after 9.
The Riblets arrived sticky, smoky, and emotionally complicated — like texting your ex and ordering another plate at the same time. The spinach-artichoke dip bubbled like a tiny volcano of poor decisions. I made eye contact with a stranger doing the exact same thing. We nodded. No words needed.
Somewhere between the third round of apps and the off-key birthday song, time stopped mattering. The booths were just sticky enough to keep you grounded. The lighting was gas-station flattering.
I left with a to-go box the weight of a small child and the quiet certainty that Applebee’s never really closes. It just waits.“

“Okay, so for me this place has a lot of typical 90s bar and grill nostalgia , but is that ever really a bad thing? Onion rings were so crispy, service was friendly and they really shine on any appetizer type food. The grilled cheeseburger was good too and it came with a cup of tomato soup. It was mid afternoon and I felt hungry so probably ordered too much. I got prompt refills on my soda pop drink and a to go cup too. It was mid afternoon and not all that busy. Has a very casual social vibe and I sat on bar side in a booth. I was happy with my food and visit. Very worthy cheat day food and good waffle fries loaded appetizer too. The waffle fries seasoned just right and they had a lot of good potato flavor.“
