Our first visit to this new Applebee's restaurant.
First was disappointed that they do not use any apps for reservations. However in hindsight I don't think that they'll need it... Based on my first visit I doubt that they will be very busy.
As always my first litmus test in my ordering a nice Guinness draft... Nope ... Not only no Guinness, but no dark beers on draft. Strike 1
Found a nice looking shrimp Thai salad... And asked about soup... None that I cared for, so I asked for chilli... Nope ... No chilli... Strike 2
Wife ordered a meal and a side salad... A lengthily discussion ensued due to the fact that they do not have any common dressings ... Finally got the honey balsamic... Little did we know that it really didn't matter... We never got the salad! ... Strike 3
When our meals arrived I would have loved my wife to have taken a picture of my face... In the large shallow dish was the smallest $11 salad I've ever seen... It was about 5 inches in diameter... And an inch deep... With 6 shrimp. About 8 forks and I was done. Wow... Strike 4
The waiter didn't ask if we would like dessert, and its just as well as we couldn't wait to get out of the place.
Have to add the fact that of the 4 flat screens that I could see... 2 displayed nothing... Broken? ... Don't know... The one that I had the best view of had kdka news on ... How entertaining...
Another funny thing that I'll remember... While waiting for our food... And that salad that never arrived... We had been sitting for 10 minutes with 2 glasses of water... The waiter stopped by and asked "how is everything?" ... I replied that the ice water was great. My wife said that my reply was mean... I told her that I disagreed... If I wanted to be mean I would have told the waiter that I ordered ice water with lemon and didn't get the lemon.
Another disappointing restaurant in Murrysville... Too bad.
