They've just remodeled/ updated so it does look nice. Its a community type restaurant with the nearby cities landmarks pictured on the walls of the entrance. Sports theme inside, plenty of televisions and a good size bar. Clean, friendly, decent priced. However, the food is just that, food. I have a hard time whenever i go finding something to even just "settle" on. Spice it up Applebees! I'd be more likely to return if they did.
Review Source:While it was really packed the evening that I went, I checked in on Foursquare and read some of the tips people left about the place. Not good at all. The first complaint from people was the food, next was the service.
I should have taken the hint.
We didn't have to wait too long, but once we were seated, my mom & I both went with the fish & chips. Simple, right? Oh and we ordered the "butterfly chips" as an appetizer. I was looking forward to the yummy sounding dip.
We waited... and waited... and -- oh, here comes the appetizer! Yay!
The server comes by and asks if it's warm enough -- I immediately said "yes" because I often want to just enjoy the food and not answer questions all evening. My mom begged to differ. But more importantly -- why did he ask if they were warm enough for us? Is that a normal complaint they get? Had they been sitting unattended for some time before being delivered to us? I thought that was rather suspect.
But nevermind that... what really took the cake was the fact that our meal came immediately after the appetizer hit the table. What?? Who does that?? Â Our faces asked the same question... the waiter said "I can take these back and keep them warm". Umm, NO! Fried fish kept warm = soggy fried fish. No. Nononono. We'll just keep our meals and nibble on the now, really cold butterfly chips.The waiter sensed our issue and directed his manager to our table. We expressed our concerns and he offered us a free dessert shooter. He *should have* offered to comp our appetizer. Because by the time we're done with all that, who has room for dessert?
I ended up taking the hot fudge sundae shooter and my mom went for the cheesecake shooter. Wise choice -- the cheesecake was better.
The service (our waiter) wasn't bad, but the timing sucked and so did the quality of the food.
p.s. A table adjacent to us had big time issues with their food. I overheard their complaints and dialogue with their waiter and manager, too.
