Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

We are casual visitors to Applebee's (meaning we don't go all that often) but after last night that may change. The server, a very enthusiastic young man name "Tom", was super-attentive to our needs and very helpful. We used his suggestion to get the two for $20 and were glad we did. The chips for the appetizer (spinach and artichoke dip) were awesome. Thin, hot out of the fryer, crispy, and done just right. And it was huge.
The wife ordered a salad with chicken and I got the riblets basket. When the food arrived, the plate in front of me contained the better, but more expensive, half rack of ribs plate. I pointed this out to Tom and he said "if you want it, you can have it for the same price or I'll get you the correct order." Naturally, I kept it! The wife also ordered a specialty item that was no longer on the menu but they willingly made it for her anyway. When I got ready to leave, I asked Tom for a to-go cup for my soft drink which was almost a full glass. He brought me a to-go cup with a fresh soft drink already in it.
All in all, a great visit and very good food.
BTW, the server told us the half-price appetizers started at 9:30. Someone else posted that they thought it was at 10.

I like to go here for the great drinks (great prices). I especially like the Perfector. The appetizers are half price after ten.  The wait is always long, a popular place so be ready to wait. The ribs are especially worth the wait.

It's a standard Applebee's. The food is so-so, and the service is good.
