| - Happy Hour. Today, I went to Applebee's for HH with my colleagues. My son tagged along as it was on our way home. I was hoping to capitalize on half-price apps, but Son was hungry and wanted shrimp. We opted for the Pick 2 for $25, 2 select entrees plus a select app. We ordered the Mozzarella Sticks, Bourbon Chicken and Shrimp with Potatoes and the new Butcher's Meat and Potatoes.
The Mozzarella Sticks were okay, crispy with an okay marinara sauce. My son enjoyed them very much. The Butcher's Meat and Potatoes portion was noticeably smaller than the portion of the Bourbon Chicken and Shrimp. The mash potatoes and gravy was nice. The beef tips were on the tough and chewy side. My son's chicken was tough and dry. It could've used a sauce or gravy. The shrimp looked good. The potatoes were nice and crispy, but they were under seasoned. The skillet was sizzling and looked delicious, but the actual meal was underwhelming.
Our server was swamped with our party. We had 2 tables, a total of 12. At one point he seemed frazzled when he wasn't he was given a food order, but he regained his composure and explained that he was trying to get the drink order in first. At the end of our meal, he wasn't on top of getting our bills ready for us to pay. I observed that several in our party looked impatient.
Meh, was probably an accurate description for me, but my son rates it an okay. Okay, Taric, I did order entrees, and you can laugh at me.
