We were in town visiting an elderly family member who wanted to go to Applebee's so that's where we took her. I wasn't excited about going to Applebee's but wasn't going to deprive Grandma of her favorite restaurant. Furthermore, this is Elyria and our choices are limited.
I was very pleased with the food quality and staff attentiveness. The restaurant appears to have been refreshed in last few years. The hostess was patient with us and gave us a large table that accommodated our wheelchair rolling right up to it. Nice!
Food quality was 3.5 to 4.0 stars: good ribs, burgers, and 6oz steak. Tortilla chips were somewhat greasy and fries portion on small side. Cook time was so-so but the superior service and happy grandma makes five stars! Thank you Applebee's for providing a fun family dinner.
