Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar

Went here on a Friday evening and could barely hear my company with the loud music. The servers were good and the food was typical but the environment was more for a teenager hang out than the crowd applebees markets to. Still, I can't complain about the staff, food or drinks too heavily. Our server was nice especially since he knew we were grumpy due to the environment.

We went to our local neighborhood Applebee's tonight, to use up a gift card we had.  We walked in and were seated right within a few minutes.

The place wasn't bustling, or full, but that's about what you would expect for a Thursday night.  We decided to do the '3 for 20' deal - one app, and two dinners for $20.00

First, we ordered the spinach and artichoke app.  It came out quickly and we were actually impressed!  It was a lot of food for the money - and surprisingly good.  The chips were warm, and the dip had lots of hot melted cheese on top.

I got the three cheese chicken penne pasta, and my husband got the house sirloin.  The pasta was ok, but it was very, very  rich.  I ate about half and then I was done.  After a while, it got cold and I just couldn't do it.  My husband said his sirloin was just ok - but obviously if you go to Applebee's, yourre not going to get a top of the line steak.

Overall it was your typical Applebee's experience.  I gave it three stars because the service was good, and the food came out very fast.  Overall the food just wasn't the greatest, and nothing too memorable.

If we got another gift card we would go back... I just wouldn't get the penne pasta again.
