I've never been a fan of Applebee's but met up with friends per their request. Went on a Friday at 2:45pm for appetizers...but ending up getting the two for $20 with the hubs.
We started with buffalo chicken wings, then my hubbys entree was a hamburger and fries with bacon. From the couple of bites I took...I was not impressed. The bacon seemed half cooked, the tomatoes/lettuce were very unappealing visually, the hamburger clearly wasn't quality. (but what do you expect...its Applebee's.) I ordered the shrimp/fries...totally great if you are craving fried food as I was on this particular visit.
Like Ellen B mentioned...no "culinary excellence" here...but that is only to be expected. Overall, not horrible but not fabulous...just "Meh. I've experienced better." ;0)
