Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

Our group came for lunch and was waited on so efficiently, served in a reasonable time and the food was generous and very good.

If you've been to one Applebee's, you've been to them all. Can I get a witness?

Look, Applebee's isn't anything wonderful. It  won't knock your socks off. If you had guests coming in from out of town, Applebee's would not be anywhere near you're "Er-mer-GERD you gotta try this!" list.  Still, it's inoffensive. It's like the Maroon 5 of music. Everyone can handle it as background music, but I bet you don't know any truly rabid fans. Applebee's works the same way. Chances are even if you were traveling with a group of 200 people, every single one could find something unobjectionable on the menu.

Their Perfect Margaritas come pretty close to living up to that title, and it's nostalgic for me, because when I was an undergrad at Berry, Applebee's really was the only show in town if you wanted something other than beer. The food has that familiar chain restaurant quality of tasting like it was probably frozen and warmed up, but what the hey. That'll do, Pig, that'll do.

So there are plenty of chain restaurants in Rome, Ga, but this place is by far the best. I have never been to. The service is by far the best. Ask for Sasha, she's the best waitress there.

If you are a college student, I suggest coming here for drinks and to enjoy half off appetizers! Their perfect margarita is the best in town!
