Following up on our visit on 2-20-12, the fall-out of our anniversary dinner got significantly worse during the week. Eventually four of our six kids had stomach problems, one of them for more than a week. Regarding myself, I got stomach pains two nights later so severe, that I decided to go to emergency in the middle of the night, just to be sure. They did all tests (ultra-sound, X-rays and CT) and (fortunately) concluded that it was probably not more than a very irritated stomach. Two days no food, flush it all out and I should get better. During this process the manager of Applebees called, following up on our complaint. He apologized profusely and they did refund us the money. Maybe we would give them a chance again in the future. I doubt it after this ordeal. We have never had a bad experience like this before and prefer to avoid any reminders.
