I ordered the half rack of ribs, but even the service was subpar. The ribs were not fall-off-the-bone tender as advertised; in fact, they were tough and difficult to eat. The presentation of the dish was disappointing, with only a small amount of mashed potatoes and half a rack of ribs on the plate. There were no vegetables offered, and the overall appearance was sad. The mashed potatoes were cold, and the meat was too tough to enjoy. The waitress mentioned that maybe two different people cooked the dish, but that doesn't excuse the poor quality. It's disheartening to see such a fantastic restaurant neglecting the presentation, taste, and quality of their meals.

I've never had a bad experience in an Applebee's, but this experience was truly exceptional. They weren't too busy so we were seated comfortably. Our waitress Ashley was awesome. She didn't have to write down our order, she just remembered it. Even with appetizers, side salads, and my wife making substitutions to her sides. She stayed on top of our drinks, evenbringing us a preemptive refill, which was greatly appreciated. She was friendly and professional. Now to the food, if youhaven't had Cheeto boneless chicken, you're missing out. So good. I don't usually do boneless chicken because it's mostlyadditives, but these were real pieces of chicken. The 3 cheese chicken Alfredo was really good, I had leftovers...that neverhappens.

Unfortunately, my meal arrived without the broccoli and extra shrimp. I sent it back, and when it returned, there were only two additional shrimp and a plate of cold, overcooked broccoli. The chicken was also overcooked. Despite my disappointment, the server made no effort to resolve the issue. We won't be coming back to this restaurant.

While the food was decent, it was excessively salty—almost like beef jerky. The most significant problem was the price difference; the menu listed it at $13, but I was charged over $22 on DoorDash. Overall, it felt like I only received half a meal, and the portion was even smaller than most appetizers I've tried.

She made it clear that the extra chicken I ordered in my Chicken Fajita Rollup would incur an additional charge and even returned to confirm whether I wanted the fries that came with the meal or if I preferred my soup as a substitute. Taylor was very attentive throughout our visit, checking in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed for a wonderful lunch. The food was delicious! Thank you, Cooks! We will definitely be coming back to this location.
