Our server, Marcus, did an excellent job, and all the food was delicious. I only wish I had saved room for dessert; it looked amazing!

We ordered appetizers that were half off during happy hour. My dip trio was delicious, though unfortunately, it wasn't part of the half-off deal. The queso dip was so tasty that I can’t stop thinking about it. The mozzarella sticks were fantastic, and the Buffalo chicken bites were great as well. I didn't get a chance to try the wonton tacos because I was too full, but they looked really appetizing!

Good customer service is hard to come by these days, but our server, Trent, was kind, attentive, and really sweet to not just my sister and me, but also to my toddler daughter, which isn't always the case wherever we go. Thank you, Trent, for making our lunch so enjoyable!

Without an explanation she just left. Then ten minutes later she brought the appetizer. She said our dinner plates were on the warmer. They didn't lower our bill or offer us a bigger appetizer or anything. I wasn't very satisfied with the service there.

No One came to to offer drinks. No Hello, How are you doing tonight? Nothing!! Totally ignored. Finally after 10 minutes I asked the girls cleaning tables if we were supposed to order our own food and drinks. They said they would get a server. Meanwhile there was a server busy gossiping with this couple across from us. Other people came by and said hello to them, so evidently one of those people had worked at Applebee's. When we finally got service the food was good, but the experience was negative. Won't be back. Next time it will be another restaurant instead.
