There are times when I don't mind a chain food experience and I've had positive experiences at Applebee's before, but overall I think the bad experiences override the good ones. \n\nSo on to my most recent experience at Apps. I ordered the sirloin with shrimp that my mother and I were planning on sharing. I need my meat cooked so I asked for medium well. \n\nThe entree came out and I was cutting it in half to give a portion to my mom when my steak knife wouldn't really cut through the meat. I thought it was weird until I saw that there was one millimeter (no joke) of the meat cooked and I was basically cutting raw meat. \n\nIt was disgusting, especially for someone who is really picky about meat. And it was also super annoying b/c it was done rare, not even medium, but rare. I think I may have been able to let it slide if it was at least medium. So needless to say when the server came back I told her that it wasn't cooked properly. She said that she'd tell them to put it back on the grill.\n\nUmmm...no thanks. The only thing that may be equally horrible as having your meat undercooked is having it thrown back on the grill so that when it's returned you're eating an animal chew toy at that point. \n\nSo asked our waitress if I can order something else. She was nice about it, but I could sense she was annoyed. But I'm the one who suffers b/c I'm waiting around for the new order to come out while everyone else is chomping down on their food. I should mention that I was really hungry b/c it was after work and I hadn't eaten since lunch. \n\nAnyhoo - I'll be thinking twice before going to Applebee's."^^ . "1"^^ . "2012-01-29T00:00:00"^^ .
