Applebee's Neighborhood Grill

Walked out when the waitstaff thought that. Talking on the phone was more important than ever even saying hello

Applebee's . . . .

This place has had a total overhaul from the last time that I have been here. The menu, thou has alot of the same foods and choices on it, has been changed quite a bit from what it used to be and the prices have went up a bit as well. On some items by 2-3 dollars more.

The service that me and my buddy got was just lousy at best.  After it took 7 minutes (on average not bad but it wasn't that busy for a saturday at 2pm) then took another 10-15 minutes to get our drink order and appetizer. Took another 10-15 minutes to get our drinks and another 5 minutes after that to get our drinks.  So this is how our order went

Ordered a nacho to start off with, wasn't shabby. I ordered the burbon street steak which should be steak mashed or loaded mashed potatos steamed veggies and on the steak is sauteed mushrooms and onions, quite a nice meal.

Now it comes with steak (which is smaller now and cost 3dollars more) and the 2 sides is cut up red potato's and sauteed mushrooms and onions. I had ordered my steak medium rare and came back well done.
Told the server that my steak was over cooked and now another 15-20 minutes go by, my buddy's order was wrong as well but kept his mouth shut (I know why now). Steak still wasn't right and now my little bit of potatos tasted like they used a whole bag of salt on them. Suppose that is their way to prove a point.

Been here many times and appetizers and drinks usually alot better, but just expect an adventure when going there and eating.

Stopped in here for drinks and appetizers while staying at a local hotel.
The bartender, I think her name was Wendy, (I do know she was going to school for journalism, if you read this,,,stick to your journalism) was very friendly and a delight to talk to.
We had long island ice teas, and an order of cheese sticks. The drinks were very good and the cheese stick order was huge.
The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable.
