I gave them 1 star because I couldn't give a negative star. The restaurant was empty, and it took almost an hour for the waiter to come. Then when they did come, it took over an hour for our food to come. It gets worst, the waiter brought everyone's food out, but forgot to put one of orders in to the kitchen. The last meal didn't come until everyone was done eating. When I asked for the manager, it took 30 more minutes for him to show as well. They gave us a discount for the mishap. Overall, this was the worst experience I've ever had at an Applebees, I will not be returning to this one.
