Went for lunch today while running errands, had a rare time off at the same time as my husband. Were seated quickly, the place was nearly empty, and it took about ten minutes for waiter to come over to get drink orders, then another ten...to bring them. We waited what was probably another ten minutes for him to come to take our orders, then at least a half an hour to get the food. I got assorted appetizers - the wings were cold under warm sauce, the onion rings were ok, the spinach dip blazing hot with stale chips. My husband's food was better as far as being warm. I was seriously wondering if they ordered car side to go from a different Applebee's and drove to get it - they sure took enough time!
We ordered iced tea and flavored lemonade. Tea was most likely a powder mix - ick. The raspberry lemonade was really good, it's too bad a refill was never offered, and when it was requested, it was brought just before the check, and he didn't want it any more. When requesting the refill, we told the waiter we were in a bit of a hurry and needed a box and the check. It was ten more minutes before that happened. Subpar food, subpar service. Wendy's would have been a better choice today, I guess.More
