Ugh...I've been on a losing streak lately while getting lunch. Tried Applebee's for lunch on Tuesday. I hadn't been to one in years, and figured "why not"?
I should have asked myself "why"?
Service was pretty good, hence the two stars. They have a "14 minute guarantee" so that once you place your order, they guarantee you'll have food in 14 minutes or it's free.
The food was out within that time frame, I assume...I didn't have a stopwatch out but it seemed quick enough. I wish they'd taken longer to make it good. I could put some crappy chicken on a plate at home in under 14 minutes, but I pay someone else to do it in hopes that out will turn out better. It didn't. It was worse. Overcooked boneless wings that were overly breaded and tossed in poorly flavored sauce...Pretty much a swing and a miss all around.
Also overpriced for what you get...It's simply not worth it at all. If you ever find yourself in this "neighborhood" (see what I did there?), just drive on by.
I need to find the Applebee's that John Corbett has been going to...Until then I think I'll pass on a second trip to this place.
