text: Okay Here is the truth I go to this Applebees for dinner because my son and I can walk there from the movie theater where we have been dropped off to see a show The food is not very good It is mostly out of a box or a bag that started in the freezer and prepared by someone with limited culinary training or authority They are reheating and combining What little comes fresh is often not fresh at all think two to three item salads with that one wonky tomato wedge We once asked for steamed broccoli for my son and were brought a hunk of broccoli that had not even been trimmed stalk leaves and all It had been lightly steamed at least nnWhats best are things like steaks burgers little sliders and other fried appetizers because well fried dessert shots like pudding in a glass The drinks are okay too nnThe tables are getting sticky with age They are wiped off with a communal rag kept in a bucket of disinfectant stuff behind the greeters podium it just makes my skin crawl every time it comes out of the gray water nnThe best thing about the place is the staff They are nice folks and well focused on customer service We try to leave a good tip every time
