well, we experienced a totally different restaurant  than the other reviewers. first, the food was fine. it is a chain restaurant, so expect less than top of the line.
second, service. very nice waitress and quick service. we will stop again, if in transit through the area. applebees definitely got the job done.
We ate here on a Saturday. Â We were rafting that day and we're hungry so this was the "best" option ad there are not many places here. Â They were backed up. Â Â The waitress said the kitchen was backed up when we sat down which was a nice heads up. It then went down hill. Â Our appetizer came out cold. Â The waitress said there was nothing she could do about and If we wan we could talk to the manager. Â 45 minutes later we received our meals and our first refill. Â She didn't even take out empty glasses ad another waitress finally grabbed them 15 minutes later. Â Â We had to constantly ask for refills. Â Out burgers were not coined even close to how we asked and the fries were cold. Â The manager gave us a basket of hot fries and took the appetizer off the check. Â It took 2 hours from the time we sat down to getting our checks which also took forever. Â We should have went to Wendy's instead or drive to another gown! Â Bypass this restaurant while on 19!
Review Source:Already a bit discontent that we were running behind to get on the road, my mood was only made worse when we opted for Applebee's. Not a lot of options in Summersville as far as food is concerned, but fast food with a 50% "we bring it to your table" upcharge wasn't really better than Taco Bell or Long John Silver's, in my opinion.
Initially, when the waitress refilled my sweet tea (an obscurity in Columbus) almost instantly, I thought this might not be so bad. However, our food took forever to come out. Our check took even longer. The mixed vegetables that came with my meal were clearly of the frozen variety, as is 90% of the food served, I'm sure. The beer selection was deplorable, Sam Adams being the only thing remotely close to a microbrew. To make matters worse, I kept getting stared at because of my being a weirdo covered in tattoos. Not by the staff, but the other bar patrons. That's negative points on the atmosphere scale.
If you absolutely must be waited on with a tip expected, then this is an option. Not necessarily a good one, but an option. If you aren't kingly and don't mind walking your food to your own table, then I'd recommend other fast food.
