Applebee's

Eh, it's a chain restaurant. Nothing awesome or anything to make note of. I will say that the service here is a little different than other Applebee's. It's not bad service, just typical of a busier restaurant. Waitstaff doesn't have time to hold your hand and listen to your life story. Not that they should. My food arrived on time, hot and how I ordered it. I got plenty of refills. No complaints.

I liked it here.

I came here with my girlfriend and her friend for a long lunch and a serious discussion. Her friend didn't eat, my girl had chicken fingers, and I had blackened chicken alfredo. We also had dessert. My food was very very good. The blackened chicken alfredo was way better than what I've had in Friday's, and as good any pasta I've had, including in well regarded restaurants such as Maggiano's. The dessert was really good too.

The one thing I was not wild about was that the waitress could have come around a little more. I didn't have terrible experiences with the waitress like Ashley T or Angela S, but I think she could have been more energetic about seeing if we needed anything else, and drink refills. So, that's my one gripe -- the service could use improving. Can't justify taking off more than a star for that though.

Overall, considering this is supposed to be one of those "cookie cutter chains," they do a good job. This was my first time here, but my girl comes here often and says our experience here was the standard, not the exception, and it's one of her favorite restaurants after many visits. It's not Tru or Charlie Trotter's, but it could be waaaaaaaaaaaaay worse. Good, solid restaurant for most regular occasions.

HORRIBLE!

I've tried this location several times in hopes that things will get better and not travel to Crestwood, but it hasn't. One night, some friends and myself visited this location after rehearsal. Granted its late and I understand that you want to go home but this is your job. We were seated quickly but took 15 minutes just to get water.....20 to place our order. Actually, it took so long, I looked up the number, called the location, asked to speak with a manager and told her that we had been sitting for 20 minutes wating on someone to take our order. When the food finally arrived, in another 30 minutes, it was cold....we were done and all the manager did was not charge us tax!
