Applebee's is a chain restaurant found around the country. The service is friendly and now they have added to your table a machine where you can play games, answer trivia questions, or add to your order. There is a slight fee for the two former items so you would swipe your card in order to use it.
I normally come here during the week when they have lunch specials. You get a choice or soup, half sandwich or half salad of the ones listed.
I normally order the French onion soup along with the Chinese chicken salad. Although it comes fried you can request it grilled and you get a small breadstick to go with it.
It is a smaller portion than regular size for the same items but since I don't eat a whole lot I find it to be enough. Food is okay. Prices are reasonable.
They have another option when you come at other times for a 2 party sharing meal which is listed on the menu.
On this particular visit I noticed a young boy was celebrating a birthday so a group of waiters came gave him a small dessert and sang to him. Desserts are also reasonably priced but not overly big.
I stop here when I want a change of pace and want to save a few dollars on a lunch.
