Applebee's Grill + Bar

The kids menu has a nice selection but I do wish they would offer two sides for the kiddos instead of one. Chicken strips and fries is okay but my daughter would like one other variation to munch on like apple slices, mandarin oranges (something healthy that promotes a fruit or veggie for the kids). My husband and I enjoy their 2 for $2X meals with the choice of 2 side salads or an appetizer to split. We often take advantage of their half price appetizers from 3-6pm for the kids to munch on while they wait and get the side salads for ourselves. We have been to many restaurants and this is by far our favorite for when we go out as a whole family. Our hamburgers and steaks are always cooked like we ask (unlike our experiences with Red Robin in Auburn) and we have had wonderful waitresses/waiter's.

two days ago was our first time we came to that good restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We had a good time with the attentive service, with the first-rate cooking and booze and with the comfortable pay. We will definitely come back in a short time.

We typically don't have issues here, but I ordered my Bourbon Street Steak medium and it came so well done and so small. It was also missing the onions and mushrooms. Our waitress didn't come back to check on us for a bit and it wasn't until the manager was making her rounds that I was able to tell her what was wrong. She apologized, took my order again and asked if I wanted a salad to tide me over until my steak was ready. I said sure and waited another 10 minutes for that. By the time I got my salad (with the wrong dressing) my husband and kids had finished their meals. Our waitress appeared and I told her what was wrong again and she got me the correct salad dressing. Another 10 minutes and my steak, broccoli, mushrooms and onions were brought to me. All while my husband and kids sat and watched me eat. When we got the check they had removed my drink and meal and it was free, so that was very nice of them. They also said we could take home the well done steak and broccoli if we wanted to. We tipped as if paying the entire bill because they did give me what I had ordered, it was just a bummer I didn't get to enjoy eating with my family. I felt the waitress, manager and kitchen were just too busy to pay attention to the details. I thanked them for making it right. Everyone has a bad day or an off night. Just a bummer experience that night.

Stopped into this location after work to grab dinner and a couple of beers after work. Decided to get the chicken finger platter and a couple of draft Coors Light which ran me ~$30 after tax and tip. I sat at the bar as I normally do when I eat out alone and it took about ten minutes for the bartender to take my drink order. Which is understandable to an extent considering how busy they were. Another thing that popped out to me was that it seemed liked the bar hadn't been wiped up in a bit. The food came up quick, tasted great and was made correctly. The service from the bartender after he had a moment to catch up was quick and polite. I would come back to this location again after this experience
