My friend and I stopped here after a jaunt at Cabela's. whatever mystery dish it was supposed to be that we ordered, was nothing more than reheated leftovers with a lot of burnt garlic thrown in to disguise the original flavor. Pure trashy food. Food was horrible, but my main complaint, and the reason for this review, is what happened when we beginning to eat. we were sitting at the high-top tables near the bar, when what turned out to be the replacement cook coming on to duty, clocking in at the bar register, to our UTTER HORROR and AMAZEMENT, lifted her shirt, exposing her bra, and proceeded to apply her roll-on antiperspirant to her armpits, there in the dining room, six feet from us, in plain view! Her clothes were soiled and filthy, with either mud or cow manure on them as if she just walked in off a farm! We summoned the waitress to bring forth the manager immediately. He approached, and we reported what we had seen. He told us he was sorry, but tried to excuse her piggish behavior by saying that she worked in the "back of the house" and was the cook coming onto duty! Apparently that must mean she had never been around actual human beings or knew of social etiquette! I would have thought he would have fired her on the spot or at least send her home. For all you Dundee Applebee-lovers, if the cook is brazen enuff to stand there and be an unsanitary pig in broad daylight, how is she handling your food in the kitchen with no eyes on her?? We didn't bother finishing, we just paid and left. We went to McDonalds instead, cuz at least we know what to expect there.
Review Source:No reviews here, huh?
Well ...it's your average Applebee's. decent food and service with an occasional screwup on an order. The menus are all the same. They do well here.
There are other places in town for the creative traveler with a little time to explore if your tired of the same old stuff. Face it Applebee's is everywhere and is a good fall back if an area  lacks.  This area does not.

Mex place downtown. Awesome pizza joint downtown. Great bar in the east side that serves food so  good you'll forget you're in a bar.  Thirstys?  Yea.
Me and my relative went to this Applebee's once after we looked around at Cabela's, and the waitress was very nice and helpful! This was my (I think) my first time eating at Applebee's, and I ordered one of their steak meals, and I loved it! This is a pretty good restaurant, so if you're ever in Dundee, this is a great place to eat:)
Review Source:I came here with a party of six on Sunday, August 4. There was no one inside to greet us, and we waited about five minutes before someone showed up. There was noone in front of us, but there was a couple sitting on the benches in the waiting area. There were a lot of empty tables. When an employee finally came to greet us, he asked us if we minded waiting five minutes. We said fine, and sat down. After 10 minutes, we discovered that we weren't waiting because the table wasn't available, but because the kitchen was backed up. So, instead of sitting us at a table where we could be drinking our beverages and waiting comfortably, we were waiting on the benches in the waiting area, because the kitchen was backed up? That's the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard.
My pregnant wife, who was thirsty, asked if we could be seated so that she could order a drink. They finally sat us, and the wait staff was great after that.
