Some friends of mine decided to go to Applebee's, we get there and was immediately greeted and was shown to our table. We waited 10 minutes before a waitress even came over to get our beverages..we just decided to put our food order in at the same time.(now that she took forever to get to us..we don't know why she was slow it was 9:30 at night and not that many people in there eating) Meanwhile, we're just sitting there and realized the table itself was not cleaned..we all put our arms and elbows in some sticky stuff! gross! we had to ask the waitress to wipe the table, instead the towel was just given to us!! We were like WHAT! So we had to wipe the table!!! Then about 25 mins later she starts to bring our meal out, I had to ask her for our appetizer...keep in mind our dinner has already arrived and on the table! We had to wait another 5 mins to get our appetizer.. Mozzarella Sticks...that tasted like freezer burn water sticks! The prime rib was over cooked and the mashed potatoes were dry and their asparagus was so thin and greasy! ick! the other dish we order was new york steak with fried shrimp...the steak was tough and the shrimp..there was no shrimp! it was just a ball of overcooked batter, we also order chicken and veggies which the chicken was not cooked and still rare and the veggies were greasy! I order the Roaster Turkey & Bacon on a Chibatta Bread with fries...the fries had so much salt on them it was unbearable to eat and the sandwich..well you get the picture how this is all going! It took her another 15 minutes to check us out! This was an awful experience...I don't recommend going there even if you are starving and it's the closest place to eat...go somewhere where they actually care about the quality of their customer service not to mention their food! Eating microwave food is better than eating there.
This whole experience just reminded me of the movie "Waiting"....
