Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

Good ol' Applebee's. The food is always great, and the servers are usually pretty awesome. I have been going to the Anderson location since I was a child, and it has always been great. Some of the newer menu items are not that great, such as the sizzlers. For one they stay extremely hot for too long to get to enjoy them, and then they are bland! Stick to the ribs and burgers. The fried green beans are very good too. I will always go back!

My husband and I stopped in for dinner on a busy Saturday evening.  We are new to Anderson, but have frequented Applebee's all over the country, we have always had great food, and great service.....except this visit.  Our host was very friendly and seated us right away.  The table (and chairs) were unfortunately, dirty....as was the silverware.  Not being difficult people, we just asked for extra napkins and cleaned the area ourselves. Our server, unfortunately, was one of the most unfriendly people that I have met since moving to the area.  She started out ok, no smile, or greeting but at least took our drink order.  She came and took our food order, and I can only assume that she was unhappy that we ordered the 2 for  20.00  special.  From that point on, she was rude and abrupt, she went so far as to bring our appetizer and dinner out all together, dropped everything on the table, and walked away with not a word!  The food was good as usual, but we ate quickly and paid our check feeling quite uncomfortable.  We only left her a 15 percent tip, and we usually tip 20 to 25 percent....hopefully others who are similarly treated will follow suit.  We will not return to this Applebee's....the are plenty of others close by.

Food was great, served pretty quickly. Was disappointed to be sat at a dirty table which is where the 5 star disappeared. Great place to eat, has yet to disappoint me.
