Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

I went last night with my girlfriend. I rate them 4 stars for a few reasons.

PRO'S:
- The food was excellent. My chicken parm, rice and spinach tasted like it was prepared for a king. Best I've had in a while. My gf's dinner was larger than she expected and the bacon, tomato and cheeseburger, was well above expectations. Her fries were crispy and yummy! ( I stole a few ;)

- The service was fast and friendly. They were attentive, but not overbearing. And when our order was screwed up (mentioned in the cons), the chef, who looked like a young Ashton Kutcher,  came out and was friendly and made sure everything was to my liking.

- The taco's were very tasty and I didn't get charged extra for the extra cheese, cream cheese and applesauce for the chicken.

- The Coors light I ordered, was very fresh, well priced and in an over-sized glass, which was a nice surprise.

CON'S:
- The mango tea was VERY bland. I didn't complain about it, but felt I should have said something.

- The chicken parm was quite good, but  it would have been nice to have some steak sauce on the table. Salt, sugar, ketchup and pepper was the only options set out on every table. Considering how many different steaks they have on the menu, you'd think they'd have some steak sauce available on each table.

- With the nacho's, I specifically asked for no jalapenos. Yet when the dish came, it had at least 10 jalapenos in sight. I had to get it sent back and made right.

- They pushed for us sitting in the lounge / bar section, but we opted for a booth in the quieter sections. I understand they were low on seats, but I was going with my gf, not a buddy of mine, watching the game on the flat screens. However, they seemed ok with our opting for a quieter area.

- Not too much of a gripe, but more of a suggestion.... having dividers in between each table side would be a big plus. I don't want to hear everyone else conversation, just my gf's. (and sometimes not even hers - just kidding honey)!

Overall, I would go there again, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Awful! Came here at 7:45 on a Saturday night and it was DEAD. Despite very few customers our waitress was unfriendly, never refilled our drinks, and the food took 50 minutes to arrive.

I won't be coming back.

My friend and I came to this Applebee's on 01/26/ mainly because the other restaurants near by were so full and the wait was very long, too long for us since we were somewhat in a rush.

We ordered the 2 for $20: Mozzarella Sticks as an appetizer. I had the Grilled chicken and Shrimp and he had the Chicken and 2 cheese pasta.

There were a total of 9 Mozz Sticks - Amazing deal and it's always loaded with cheese - as long as it's not over done. My dish was terrific. It came out in a hot grill, still sizzling. The dish has good flavor and nice appealing look. The three cheese pasta looked really good too. The chicken pieces were nice and tender for chicken breast.

We didn't stay for dessert but she did bring out my water with lime (which was fresh) but she forgot the lemon.. no big deal. He had the raspberry iced tea. Took her awhile to refill the drink but she was altogether very friendly and was quick on her feet considering how many tables she has going.
