Horrible food quality. Ordered the trio. 3 items with 3 sauces. Got 1 sauce. The wings were over done dry boneless wings. The shrimp were like little worms. The texture was awful. I can get better from a grocery store. Left feedback about the missing sauces and heard nothing from them. The food quality has really gone downhill.

Short review this time y’all..
We come about once every couple months.
It’s consistently good.. the best I’ve had, no, but never bad…. and after a long day when you want to eat and not risk a disaster or drop $100 per meal, it is perfect..
Mozzarella sticks are perfect, crispy with melted cheese…
Loaded waffle fries, crispy loaded with toppings and delicious…
Steak, shrimp, chicken, mushroom burger, everything we had was really good.
Our waitress was Madison, and if you’re going to stop in there, I would ask if she is working and if she could be your waitress. We have never had her as a waitress before and not that there’s anything wrong with anybody else that we have had, however, she busted her butt to take care of me and my wife. She was helpful when we asked for ideas and seems like she enjoys her job and helping customers.

Service was great. They were very nice. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and my fiancé a sirloin, medium well, with mashed potatoes and broccoli. First, the salad. I’m not kidding when I say every single piece of lettuce was either a rib or the center of lettuce. There was not ONE SINGLE leaf of lettuce in it! Not one! They mixed the dressing in prior to bringing it out, which surprised me but I didn’t ask them not to do can’t complain other than that’s about all you could taste bc it was DRENCHED. Needless to say, soggy left overs. My fiancé steak was without a doubt NOT a sirloin, maybe a round steak, but definitely not sirloin. Sirloin fat will render when grilled and it’s at least chewable. This steak was over done and more like chewing on shoe leather. I even tasted it and couldn’t even chew a bite enough to swallow it. The broccoli was pure salt and the potatoes somehow flavorless. With tip over $40 for a pretty nasty lunch. But hey, the wait staff was nice. I just won’t return and my chickens are getting the left overs.

Went with family. Great server. Unfortunately a well done steak came out medium rare, the first time. Second time it came out rare. Not to mention my step son’s fiance burger was pink too! We did get our dinners at no cost, but really I mean we’ll dons…no pink i get it not everyone’s liking but it’s easiest way to grill a steak IMHO.

Purchased ribs and onion rings to go. After being there for a while one employee stopped and ask if I had my order yet.
.I told him no and in about 2 minutes my server brought then to me with an apology for being delayed. A,fter getting home I found the ribs to be over cooked and very little meat. Onion rings were great though.

Usually, this place is an okay pitstop spot for lunch. Typically we order the 2 for $25 deal for my husband and I. We have been avoiding this place for several months because the food quality has steadily declined. After giving it another chance today, that boycott is permanent.
I ordered a 6 oz sirloin, rare. What I was given was NOT that. Hockey pucks are more tender than the rubbery, gray, over-microwaved meat analog that they call “sirloin” at this place. It wasn’t even fit for the dogs.
The instant mashed potatoes and microwave steamed broccoli were good though.
-100/10. Do not recommend.

Gotta love half price appetizers …12/9/22 update to 1 star now went for happy hour half price appetizers they removed some of the best ones and then the waitress came by multiple times telling us we could not take home our appetizers we did not finish no where in the menu or card on table state that , then she act like she was doing us a favor she would do it this time only then stopped to tell us several times that she got less of a tip and little did she know my leftovers was going home with me I paid for them . Prices have really increased too $80 2 people

Our group of 3 decided to eat here for dinner. The parking lot was somewhat full, so maybe an indicator it could be busy. The hostess took our name, and we waited to be seated (about 20 – 30 minutes). Our wait time might have been a little longer than normal, and it appeared they may have been short staffed since there were a number of empty tables and booths, but a lobby full of guest waiting to be seated.
Once seated, we were quickly served, and the waiter was polite and gave us time to make decisions about our meal. Once we ordered it didn’t take long to get our meals. There were no complaints about the freshness or quality of the food. Overall, this was a good dining experience.

Git Applebee’s door dashed tonight. I got 4 fries, bacon was charred and hard, and my girlfriend’s soup container was only 1/3 full. Food quality here has really dropped on the last few months. Food was nasty and totally over it.
