text: I really want to like this Applebees but I just do not I keep trying and am disappointed every time We recently went there for dinner and the service was AWFUL They were sort of busy but not THAT busy We placed an order for an appetizer which came out after our meal was served This is the THIRD time this has happened there I do not understand why this is so difficult to get right Our waitress gave a pathetic Eh sorry and walked away You could at least ACT like you cared a smidgen No drink refills either which irked mennLunch is somewhat better At least the service is anyway I do love their all you can eat salad and soup at lunch nnI am also not sure why but the ice tea at this Applebees and at the IHOP across the street taste funny Maybe the water Apparently other people have commented on it as well because the wait staff have agreed some people notice that taste nnIt is a slightly longer drive to go to the Applebees on Gilbert but I feel like the service is definitely better there and that is where we will be going from now on
