My mother and I ordered the choose 3 appetizers for $12.99 deal for lunch today. We ordered two french onion soups & pretzels and cheese. After waiting 25 minutes the server came and said that she was just told they have no more pretzels which confused us because they could have told us 25 minutes ago. The manager came up and apologized saying it was her fault because she was short staffed and busy and couldn't relay the message to the server fast enough. We then got spinach dip to replace the pretzels and it was disgusting. They took the dip away and ended up taking it off the bill and one of the soups. The soup was awesome but the management was terrible. She had enough time to relay the message because she was conversing at the bar for ten minutes. Very disappointed and will not be returning to this applebees anytime soon.
