| - We live 1/2 mile away, hadn't been there in a couple years, but close to the movies, so thought we'd give it another shot. OK for my wife, not good for me. It's a meat lovers festival, and while I'll get some chicken once in a while, I'm more vegetarian when out, like Saturday night.
They don't have a vegetarian section at all on the menu, and when asked, the server said the could "substitute a soy burger for any of our other burgers". "We only get a request once in a while and tell tell them we have a soy thing." Really? What a poor answer for someone who really wanted a true veg offering. 3 of the 5 burgers had bacon on them, and the other 2 just aren't what you'd serve on a veg burger. This guy didn't even know what kind of a burger it was, and didn't even go ask. Boca? Black Bean? No clue. He just laughed about everything. I ordered it anyways as a veg patty with cheddar, lettuce and tomato. What a joke.
The burger was dry with hard edges, served with 2 small end cuts of tomato that didn't even cover the patty, a piece of lettuce, one ring of onion (which I didn't ask for nor want), one small piece of dill pickle, which I also didn't ask for. The fries were OK, but I could taste that either they were deep fry in beef grease, or they had fried some kind of meat in it, since the fries has a meat undertone. I was very disappointed. Off flavor.
When a server can't even tell you what kind of burger it was, and didn't go ask, I took it as an insult that vegetarians aren't respected very much, and this give didn't care. He joked in his Jacksonville, Florida, southern accent like he'd good 'ol boy his way through the meal. Sorry dude, laughing and joking just shows why you don't take your job seriously. I was close to speaking to their manager about their menu.
This guy was all over us before ordering and while eating, but when it was clear we were almost done and weren't ordering dessert, he was hard to get back. He was in it for the orders. Took almost 10 minutes just to get the bill. Once we got him and told him we were headed to a movie, he jumped and got our bill fast.
Speaking of Vegetarian Offerings...Even all but 1 of their salads had chicken on them. What the?? With so much health consciousness going on, why don't they get on board with offering true vegetarian offerings.
Sorry, it will be a cold day before I go into another Applebee's unless I see some serious respect for the vegetarians who are typically larger spenders and tippers. I'll vote with my money elsewhere.
By the way....my wife's riblets were alright, good portion, but were covered with so much sauce, made her wonder why. Sauces cover a lot of sins of a kitchen.
