I keep going back here to give them one more try, despite my wife saying she's had it with this restaurant. After this latest visit, I guess I'll have to give in to her wishes. We've had both good and bad dinners here, but lately they seem to be consistently mediocre or worse. The chicken with portabello mushrooms was amazingly tasteless. My wife's fries, accompanying her shrimp dinner, were stiff and unappetizing. The waitress, friendly enough when she showed up, either wasn't trained properly to clear plates promptly or just didn't care. The appetizer was late, so much so that it arrived only minutes before the main dishes ...we had just started into it. I wondered to my eating companions if they understood the purpose of appetizers. I know Applebees in other areas have been better ... so I blame this one on it's manager. The wife wins this one ... we won't be back.
