Pretty quiet when we arrived after 9pm; as we sat at bar however, they did have several tables along the side of bar and on the upper floor. Good spot for sports- 12 TVs I believe. Haven't eaten at AB since Vegas; they are open late til midnight daily. Tried their margarita flight good but a tad sweet for me as I like more sour. We both tried their Cajun menu Pasta with Sausage and Shrimp plus Chicken and Shrimp with mash. Dessert good blondie just sweet. All food pretty good, service by Autumn was good. Anytime you want a late night bite they're open til 12midnight.

In the past I had a bad experience, glad to see they changed!

Once again one of my favorite places to go. Staff is always nice drinks and food are always good.

I've been coming here for years. It used to be a great place to go for a quick cheap dinner.
The 2 for 25 has slimmed so much, there are hardly any options anymore. They stopped putting the price of drinks on the menu. But I guess this is some new thing all restaurants have started doing. Kinda sucks but ok.
The reason they get the one star is for the service.
Food was as good as Applebee's always is.
Here's the issue, my server was rude and short with me. She didn't even offer us dessert, which comes with the 2/$25 so that's kind of irritating. And the cherry on top, I payed with card and left a cash tip. My server, Jennifer u, gave me a pen that was running out of ink so it took me forever to sign and fill out my receipt. I didn't put anything on the tip line, filled in my total and when we stood up to leave, Jennifer swooped down on my table and grabbed that cash before we could even walk away.
Even with awful service, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and left a 20% tip. Thinking maybe she had a long night, it's covid it can't be easy to serve right now etc..

Wrong choice.
She altered my receipt and gave herself another $10 tip off my card so she got a $20 tip on a $50 bill. Though I would love to be that generous, she didn't provide adequate service to deserve a tip that large , no matter what her personal thoughts were on it. The manager has initiated a refund but never said what consequence this women was going to get.
So just be aware. If your server is Jennifer U. She will steal from you!
I will probably not be going back. Even after years of going there. Can't trust them anymore 😔

Ordered to go at 10:30 p.m. took 45 minutes to cook a cheeseburger and fries. Then the french fries were cold when I tried a few on the way home. Take out burgers should have lettuce, tomato, etc on the side so it doesn't make the bun soggy! Apparently they missed that culinary lesson. Cold fries and a soggy burger. Now that's NOT eating good in the neighborhood.

Ordered Fish &Chips … paid over $20 for 3 pieces of fish … no chips at all. Ordered a regular Cheeseburger with waffle fries… burger was small and there was maybe a half dozen pieces of fries. All in all, a total ripoff. Never again, folks.

Wow! What a wonderful place. I’ve always enjoyed Applebee’s for 20 years or more and especially the riblets. You can’t really find them anywhere else.

However, this Christmas, I was blessed with a gift card for Applebee’s! It was perfect gift as it was for $25, which I thought would be enough for one meal, as I often enjoy eating alone. This is due to my busy schedule, attending college classes and staying active with my local Christian Church. Well, I went in, gift card in hand and sat down. The waiter was amazing. He didn’t rush me, and gave me time to look over the menu. There are so many delicious things that are available at the Applebee’s restaurants. I noticed a large sign with the burger and fries special.

The waiter came back to give me some water. I asked him about it and he explained that you had your choice of either the spicy chicken sandwich or the bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink! I couldn’t believe it? Is this one of those small little mini burgers I asked. No, he commented. It’s a full-size burger.

I said I’ll have it and give it to me pink. All right, no problem he said.

I enjoyed the burger thoroughly. It was cooked perfectly. The meat was tender and everything about it was perfect. Even the fries were acceptable. The dinner was terrific, but when the waiter came back, I asked him about desserts, which he offered, and I felt like having some ice cream. They have a small ice cream scoop with a very small chocolate fudge brownie and I didn’t really want that much so that was perfect.

The waiter warned me that it was very small and I said that’s great, then he said yeah you won’t have to feel guilty tomorrow about eating too many calories! And it was perfect as small as it was it hit the spot, very delicious.

So overall it was a great experience. Later I found that there are two restaurants competing for the $9.99 special and that’s a good thing to have that kind of competition to provide Excellent dining options.

The best part, of course, is that my $25 gift certificate will provide me with two meals, and I fully intend to return very soon and perhaps try the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a drink, oh my!
