The pasta, on the other hand, was overcooked to the point of being mushy. If there was any seasoning in the sauce, it was completely overwhelmed. It seemed like the cook took the pasta straight out of the water and dumped it into the sauce without draining it, resulting in a watery, starchy mixture. The final dish resembled the paste we made in second grade art class. Now, onto my current experience, which inspired this review. I’m currently a patient at Taylor Medical Center, where I had their chicken cheese penne pasta. Remarkably, it was far superior to what I had from Applebee's. This is hospital food, which is generally on a level I would compare to military rations or MREs. After my first bite, I was reminded just how terrible the penne from Applebee's was. It's shocking that they charge customers for such poorly prepared food. With such blatant incompetence in the kitchen and a complete lack of quality control, I’m baffled as to how this place remains in business. One would think that the poor quality would drive away customers, or that the franchise would have pulled the license and closed the restaurant by now. In my opinion, this establishment is a serious contender for the worst restaurant in Taylor, Hutto, or anywhere within a 25-mile radius.
