Applebee's

Thankfully I was only in there once and left town the next day. What a horrible experience. Now I know you don't go to Applebee's for steak but I had a great one a few months ago at a different location so I thought I would try again. Horrible. No flavor.
The service was unfriendly and the place was empty. The girl behind the bar was a real joy - not, barely a smile except for the guy she was flirting with. Thankfully I have no reason to ever go back.

Pekin is very limited so I really hate to give this such a bad review as so many others have really ditched this in their reviews.  SO, being a local....here goes.  Chip had steak which was done to his specs and was very good.  I always get the perfect margarita which for some strange reason is served with an olive (why I ask) but whatever.  It is always perfect.  I ordered off their lite menu and ordered the chicken with rice, lime and cilantro.  Apparently, the cooking staff got confused between cilantro and parsley.  Small town....it's all good but wld have been much better with cilantro.  I can brush that off.  Wait staff, is and has always been good.  Attentive and alter.  So to say in bold ....do not eat here is a bit harsh Jean.  But maybe Jean shld learn to either cook or be catered to.  I wld go back but prefer the mexican joint over Applebee's.  Cheers!  Gwen

Piss poor food and service. Don't waste your time or money.
