Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

Ok is how I would rate this applebee's.  Service was adequate and the food was bland and tired.  Portions a bit small for the $$.

We went to Applebees for a Sunday lunch with a group of eight people (with a variety of personalities). We received excellent service. Ashley W was very patient with our group and was attentive, quick with drink refills (we never had to ask), and was able to answer all our questions. She was friendly and kind and positive. She cleared out plates quickly but not too quickly. She was also good at upselling- suggesting other items. We smiled when she asked us "would you just love some..." and described some of the desserts. Really charming but not pushy at all- great balance!

Our food came out quickly with enough time between the appetizers and meals. We thought the onion rings were excellent - perfect! The potato twists (like curly warm potato chips, lightly seasoned with a side of sauce) were also good and something you'd find at a street fair- not something I've seen on a restaurant menu.

The nachos were also great (my cousin ordered them but it was a huge order so we all shared)- spicy and great warm chips. My chicken caesar salad was really good. Only one complaint- the menu said "basket of garlic toast" but what I received were actually bread sticks, which I probably wouldn't have ordered if I had known that.

Everyone was really pleased with their meal. The service we received was really top notch from everyone, starting and ending with someone opening the door for us.

They had the Colts game on the TV and they even had the audio on in the restrooms!

Very positive experience at Applebees- thanks!
