I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There's nothing worse than going to a restaurant starving, only to discover they don't have even ONE vegetarian option on their menu.
My dad and I made a pit stop at Applebee's on our way to the airport. We were headed on a trip and were in a bit of a time crunch. We were famished and Applebee's seemed like a safe bet. Think again. Every single item on their menu had either chicken or shrimp in it and the only thing they offered non meat-eaters was a three cheese pasta dish. Yeah, like I want to eat that and then sit on a plane for hours.
I wasn't impressed with Applebee's at all. In this day and age, it's pretty lame when a restaurant can't cater to such a prominant dietary restriction.
It was my first time there and I can guarantee you it will be my last.
