Depending on how busy they are is how good their food will be. I suggest not to order steak their at all. Every time I do I am disappointed. My steak is usually rare when I ask for medium. The quality of the steak is horrible, its tough and I have to choke it down because some of the sinew or something always is hanging up in my mouth. Who knows maybe its because I am hungry, really hungry and I don't chew my food properly.
From now on I don't order any steak from Applebees.
I do suggest the desserts as they are really good.
