I hadn't been to an Applebees in a long time, but was pleasantly surprised. Â Nothing extraordinary, but not bad either. Â The cheesesticks were particularly good - good flavor, and melted but not runny.
The late night appetizer special (half price after 9) is great, and it's good to have options that stay open past 10 in CR.
Applebee's trys to take on a local favor by hanging banners of the local high schools and sports teams. Â That's were the local flavor ends. Â The menu is very chainish, the same everywhere, lacking in both flavor and imagination. Â We gave them a shot last weekend because we had $5.50 coupon for their 550 calorie menu. Â Apparently it's only good on one meal, not both. Â That's what we get for not reading the fine print. Â We still paid a lot for a poor meal. Â No wonder this chain is trouble. Â We shoulda had Sushi House :-(
