Applebee's Grill + Bar

The food, ambiance (pleasant mix of music), & service at this Applebee's in Ann Arbor was at the top of my expectations for Applebee's. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful , & expedient; serving appetizingly plated food that was at freshly prepared temperatures. Beverage refills were well timed. Plus, the restaurant had a "clean" feel (even in the restroom).

I like the modern look of the place. The menu has something for everyone. Unfortunately, the food isn't always as good as it looks on the menu. My favorite was the southwestern entre salad, which they no longer offer. The service is usually quite good and I always enjoy going there.

The Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp is always fantastic. But today I tried the buffalo chicken sandwich - they call it something else. It was so yummy. They accomplish what many others cannot seem to it's still crispy even while covered with buffalo sauce. The bun is a bit small, but that's not what you are after with a sandwich like this. Truly delicious! Stephen is the best waiter. Always remembers our drink order. Love love love Applebee's!

The steak and shrimp is good. Our service was prompt and courteous. Not our favorite Friday night location. Too busy and the food quality suffers.
