My family and I haven't had the extra funds lately to go out to dinner and the last time was such a horrible experience at another restaurant we were hesitant to waste the money. However we decided to go and chose this Applebee's. Can I tell you the food was delicious and actually fresh out. We didn't have to wait for very long. Also our server I believe his name was Robert was so attentive to our needs and made sure we had what we needed and never had to wait....

Felt like I time traveled back to 2005 when my family and I had dinner here last week, and I mean that in the best and most nostalgic way. The restaurant was immaculate with not a single crumb in sight. Even more impressive was the service. The manager runs a very tight ship and checked on every table with genuine care, and the entire staff was happier and more attentive than what we often see at high-end restaurants in Nashville. They were extremely busy and still delivered warm...

My uncle and I went to Applebee's for the free Veterans Day dinner. The staff was exceptionally cordial and helpful. Brittany, our server, was hustling but still most pleasant. The sirloin steak was outstanding, which was a most pleasant surprise, given that Applebee's isn't a steak house. This was definitely a five-star experience. Kudos to Applebee's for 18 years of recognizing America's military veterans in a very thoughtful and tangible way.
