I am always hesitant to visit a chain and haven't been to an Applebees in years but I was pleasantly surprised when we visited last Monday. It was a holiday and the place was packed for lunch. The hostess opened the door for us and quickly had us seated in a nice sunny booth by the window. Our waitress was fantastic-she took our order quickly and checked back on us often. They have a lot of fun non-alcoholic drinks and my husband went with a berry lemonade which included free refills! We ordered the chicken wonton wraps as an appetizer and they were the perfect size, very tasty with a sweet glaze on the chicken and veggies. There are a lot of nice lunch combos for $6.99-$8.99 and I went with the chicken tortilla soup with a side salad with bacon. The soup had the perfect amount of spice and the side salad was a pretty hefty portion. We could not skip the dessert and I went with the brownie a la mode which was decadent. The prices are reasonable and of course a fine place to take the family.
