I took my daughter to Applebee's Strongsville for her birthday lunch today and everyone was happy! We had a party of five and we were very happy with the service and the food. Our server, Beth, was the best and the door greeters were just as good. However, the food is just mediocre for the price. It just doesn't match the price. I think you could just get better food for the price somewhere else. Maybe it's the kitchen team- the Applebee's in Middleburg Hts has much better food...just a thought.
