The last time we had Applebee?s was about 2 summers ago in Richmond so we decided to give this location (Fair Lakes) a shot. Upon arrival there was a large group waiting to be seated, however the hostess was able to sit me and my son within 5 minutes of our arrival. Ordered a couple drinks while we decided on what to order. We decided to try the classic combo appetizer which had boneless wings, spinach artichoke dip, chips, chicken quesadilla, mozzarella sticks and celery. We were previously only given one plate and I asked for another and I wish I hadn?t. The plate looked disgustingly dirty but I opted not to say anything to keep the peace. Opened up the napkin wrapped fork and knife and those were nasty looking as well. Luckily, I had ordered a glass of water and dipped my fork and knife in it to try and clean it a bit. We didn?t want these things to ruin our experience so we decided to dig in. For starters, the chips were stale. The artichoke dip was okay but nothing worth finishing. We ate the boneless wings which was about 4-5 pieces, as well as the chicken quesadilla which were the only items we actually enjoyed. Our entrees were brought out about 10 minutes after and I asked our server to take the sampler platter away since we didn?t plan on finishing it. I ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken Shrimp, and my son ordered the Classic Chicken Broccoli Alfredo (minus the broccoli). My chicken was greasy, but I ate it with my mashed potatoes to mask the greasiness. The onions and mushrooms on top had a pleasant flavor but was too salty for my liking. My sons meal (chicken Alfredo) looked rather bland and he mentioned the breadstick that came with it was hard and definitely not freshly baked. He ate most of his pasta but it was very clumpy and not what you would expect when eating a creamy entree. The thing we enjoyed most was our couple of appetizer samp

Then we had to wait a long time just to ask him for the bill because he didn't show up at our table. The service was really very bad. The place was not that crowded. Although the taste of the food was very rich.

The chicken shrimp is delicious! We had the $5 mucho cocktail, the blue motorcycle. Definitely will be back for the great waiter and good food items!

They put everyone to one side of the dining area, which meant we sat right next to an elderly group and there was no sort of border in-between us. Our server was good, but the other workers were extremely rude.A host/busgirl that was cleaning that table after they left was loudly complaining about the group that had sat there. Thewaiter that finished serving the table across from us also complained due to their tip. Customer service aside, the food was asI expected, bad. I ordered the Garlic Parmesan chicken and ????. The unnecessary sweet sauce on the chicken in the alfredooverpowered everything else and pretty much became the sauce. Overall.. I will never come back.

The fries were the most soggy things I've ever had that I would rather eat a raw shrimpthan those fries ever again. MY burger was a big fail, I definitely regret and so do my coworkers ordering from this service,please save yourselves the misery from this.
