Applebee’s

Sunday… dinner time… excellent service. appetizers and drinks out quick… all around good time. husbands favorite place… glad to have some new menu items to change up as well.

Kitchen was slow as hell. We arrived at 5:55 on Friday and didn’t finish until a little after 7:00. We were seated In less than 5 min and the waitress was on the ball

Quesadilla burger! Whoever heard of such a thing? Well the brilliant person who came up with it, deserves kudos, very tasty.
This was the only saving grace of dinner here. Everything else can be described with the word «yuck». The runny spinach artichoke dip accompanied with oily tortilla chips, the yuengling draft beer I got tasted like straight up BUTT. and the fries, oily and unappetizing. The service was slow but we were chatting and were glad to not be rushed out.
Overall, only slightly worse than most applebees

Did she just give that guy my sliverware?
Yup, she sure did.
So, after waiting 45 minutes for my meal today (shrimp skewers, mind you, which should take 2 minutes total to cook), I asked for some sliverware (because, hey, it might be cool to have a fork and/​or a knife when participating in an activity such as eating).
Keep in mind, our waitress only had two tables at the time. It was just us and the elderly couple behind us, which had already paid their bill and was in the process of leaving.
Which table do you think our waitress gave the silverware to?
You guessed it, the table at which the man was standing up to leave and the woman was already sitting in the car.
Really?
I looked at the guy and he just laughed.
On top of that, our waitress (who only had two tables!), neglected to take our empty drink glasses after bringing us refills, and as a result, from mid-​meal to the end, we had 11 glasses at our table (see picture). That would be fine in any other situation (no it wouldn’t), except today, there were five of us at a four-​top, with me sitting on the end. It was crowded, to say the least.
I hate this place with a passion.
I’m not gonna say much about the food, because you already know it sucked. I got the Spicy Pineapple Glazed Shrimp & Spinach. I didn’t want to waste my daily calories on any of this shit. I was there to see people and not for the gourmet food. My shrimp were small and rubbery, the rice was instant, and my spinach looked like a pineapple spooged all over it.
None of it was good.
After my meal I thought about all of the delicious food I could have purchased for the $ 10 spent on my shrimp monstrosity and it made me really depressed that Applebee’s is a multi-​million dollar corporation, while places like Lee’s and D’Mangu have to fight for survival.
DO NOT come here… not even to drink!
