Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

Bob Evans was closed for some big remodel, which forced me - due to being extremely hungry - to go down the road to Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar! This was a mistake - should have could have and now would go anywhere but back to this joint.

There were 20 workers and 15 people in for something to eat or drink - you'd think service would be great, but it was far from great!

I ordered the new pretzel appetizer and after waiting way longer then any appetizer should take - I asked the super smart waitress what was taking so long. She grunted and quickly left - only to return to tell us she forgot to put it in and asked if we still would like it.

Not being a good and patient person - I simply said, "No, that's ok - we will just take our food now." A bit longer wait and our food was finally being delivered - though not by our waitress.

The food itself wasn't half bad, but it was only 3.5 star at best. Take a look around and the cleanliness wasn't so good either and please don't look in the restrooms - at first glance everything is ok - but try not to breath!

Value is all over the place though and parking is also not an issue. They accept credit cards and have a full bar - something I should have thought about sitting at before ordering my food - maybe a drink would have chilled me out some - though maybe that's where my waitress was too much!

They do have a large selection of your basic food with some twists, but the lack of being offered seconds on coffee or a refill on my tea and the fact that it takes that many people to screw things up - there's a pretty good change I won't be back!

It's an Applebee's. There's standard food, standard drinks, and standard service. It's good for breaking up the monotony of campus food but not particularly special for a nice dinner. Overall there are probably better choices in the actual towns of Fredonia and Dunkirk, but if you want very unadventurous food you can't go wrong with standard Applebee's.

I love the car side to go service.  It is the same food as inside, but so easy to grab dinner on my way home.
