My latest culinary adventure took me to Applebee's Grill + Bar, a spot that's garnered mixed feelings from my palate. On one hand, the ambiance and service hit the mark every time, creating a welcoming environment that beckons for return visits. The highlight of my beverage experience was the Mai Tai Mocktail, a refreshing concoction that I can't recommend enough.
However, it's a bit of a roller coaster when it comes to the food. The all-you-can-eat chicken started strong but lost its appeal with overly breaded subsequent servings. And while the prime rib dipper and a chicken and shrimp dish were just okay, the Patron margarita stood out as a winner. It's worth noting that the service, although friendly, sometimes struggled to keep up, with longer than expected waits for both food and drinks.
Despite these hiccups, Applebee's still holds its charm as a family-friendly spot with a vibe that's hard to beat. It's the kind of place where you can find yourself comfortably seated, wishing for a better view of the game on a lazy weekend afternoon. If you're in no rush and in the mood for a casual dining experience, this could be your spot. Just be sure to try that Mai Tai Mocktail!
