| - I don't go to this location often and had not been here in years, but decided to stop in for lunch with my Mom after we finished up at the nearby Target. This place is in a great location and I really like the location by my home. We walked in and were not greeted by a hostess, not something I am used to at an Applebee's. The hostess came by within a few minutes and took our name down and said it would be about 30 minutes. Okay- doesn't look that busy, but what do we know. There was another group already waiting and then a woman and her child came in after us- they left rather than wait.
We were seated and greeted by a server after a few minutes. The server was friendly and polite, but I heard the same story about three different times between our table and two nearby. He said he had only been working here for about a month and that he would do his best, we said no biggie as long as the food is good and you keep us updated.
It felt like ages between the appetizer, entrée and check... it was also forever before we were given silverware or even napkins. I watched my mom squeeze lemon everywhere, and then have it stuck on her hands with nowhere to clean them off.
The we got a two for $20 deal... the salads came out and were doused with dressing. The lettuce was either not washed or just old, there were brown spots on it everywhere so I was leaning towards old lettuce. My mom had the um, steak stir fry and I had the fiesta lime chicken. She enjoyed her meal but I wasn't impressed with mine, I think the salad just let me down.
We saw tables in our section get up and move to other sections. The server was not bad, just talkative. I could tell you his career goals for the industry, and this was only our first time meeting him. I can't really remember ever eating at this location, well nothing other than an appetizer with a pint so I really cannot say whether this was a fluke visit or a normal occurrence.
