Applebee's

Applebee's is better during happy hour when the booze is cheap-a-licious and the appetizers are half-a-licious. So don't waste your time or money by going before 9pm!

I'm giving it average rating. Look, it is what it is. It's not Cheesecake Factory. In fact that's where we were headed, but too crowded. So I'm thinking Applebee's at Quakerbridge mall actually benefits from The Cake as a traffic driver. They shouldnt waste the chance to win new customers. If CF too crowded Applebee's gets the spillage. For us it was fine.

Seated in bar area. Lots of tvs. No wait. Ordered the chicken tacos appetizer. There are four of them. Not bad. Not a lot of chicken. But good enough. Steak fajita and chicken and shrimp fajita entrees. We both agreed. Too much seasoning for the steak and chicken. Totally unnecessary with a fajita style entree which has many flavors and textures. So not badly prepared, but a taste not to our liking. Observation not a judgement.

Service was good. Prompt. Friendly. No issues for us that night.

What a bad experience my boyfriend and I had here in September. Flies, flies everywhere. My boyfriend and I sat on the restaurant side (opposite of the bar), near the window. There were so many flies flying around. My boyfriend made a comment that "imagine what the kitchen is like". We got the 2 for $20 deal (one appetizer, two entrees). The food was okay. No wow factor. They filled us up so that was good. We had a really nice waitress. I used to come here for half off appetizers during my undergrad years. But don't think I will be taking advantage of that anymore.
