Had a great experience at lunch time with the Applebee's staff. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and comforting. She made a couple recommendations that we went with and we were very happy at the end. I wish I had a photo to share. Definitely stop by

Our server Jackie was amazing she was kind and very knowledgeable of all the menu. And our drinks made by Sophie were so delicious. The south west chicken bowl is something I will order again. Definitely would recommend and will come again. Also the new remodel inside is very modern and inviting.

I've been here twice in two years, and food is okay, not great. Service is always sub-par. Had I the chance to go elsewhere I would have. It's not a great place to eat. We got the All You Can Eat, shrimp, riblettes, or boneless wings. The shrimp were good not great, wings & ribs were not very good.

I had the classic cheeseburger with fries. The food was hot and tasty! We also ordered the chicken wontons but those were not brought to our table until after we had eaten our food. The server apologized and said it was her fault. That's really the only reason I'm giving three stars for service..... Other than that everyone was very attentive and our food was hot when it arrived. I'm giving three stars ambience which In my opinion, is top tier reading for a restaurant of this caliper..... Hopefully that doesn't sound pretentious.

I eat here often and the food is always good. I had the bourbon street chicken & shrimp, which has become my favorite here. The best part is its only 790 calories. The staff is always friendly. Highly recommend
