| - I've visited this location many times in the past and the only thing that I have to say is "This place has really fallen off."
One of the first things that you'll notice when you walk in on a weekend, is that the overall atmosphere of the place seems to be gloomy. You just get the feeling that the people eating there aren't really enjoying themselves.
The food is really bad. The riblets that I had during my last visit tasted like they were a few days old and had been microwaved, even the bones were dry and there was an odd freezer burned like taste. My mother had a steak and after cutting into it and taking a bite, she swore that it had been microwaved. We both had salads which seemed to be extremely small and were made with ingredients that were close to their expiration date (limp lettuce, slimy tomatoes, and old cheese). I should also mention that the salads were served warm along with lukewarm dressing.
The overall service was nothing to really write home about (as the old saying goes). Given the ratio of waitresses to customers, one would expect the service to be more prompt, but it wasn't. The food also seemed to take a really long time to come out, about 45 mins for a steak with fries and riblets with fries, it may have actually been closer to an hour.
If you're in the area and in a bind to find something to eat, I recommend that you either find somewhere else to go or just save your money and hit one of the local grocery stores. Since Applebee's is a chain, I don't think Kitchen Nightmares will be coming to save them :)
