Out with my wife and kids tonight. Ordered an appetizer, it finally came..along with our salads and entree all at the same time. You can hardly eat for all the damn plates on the table!

I had a similar thing happen there once- not to mention the fact that it took 30 or 45 minutes to get it all out. I think that was just bad luck though; I've been there a few other times and the service was fine.

A chain restaraunt where the walls are littered with sports jerseys, fishing tackle, and pictures of James Dean.

My Applebee's stories:

In early 2006, my town was still rebuilding after the hurricane and there were only a handful of restaurants open. We ended up "celebrating" our 5th anniversay at Applebee's. This was a very emotuional time for my wife and when I gave her a personal gift before ordering drinks, she began crying noticeably. When the waitress arrived, she looked at her and then at me with a little confusion. I replied "I just asked for a divorce, could you give us another minute?"

I was once stuck on a job in east texas where the only "bar" was an Applebee's. That was two years ago and very nearly the worst 3 months of my life. I've eaten there twice since.

Mike

Applebees has never been good to me either.

Went there with the family, we all ordered babyback ribs after they were running a promo for them. We had been seated for a half hour before they informed us that they were out of babyback ribs and wondered what else we wanted to eat. We walked out and haven't been back.

That's just bad service from the food server. The appetizer order should be entered immediately, after they are served, then put entree orders into the kitchen. What'd you tip?

Service was good, food was good. But I ended up getting in a fight with the guy(to put it nicely) sitting behind me, in the restraunt.

I always enjoy the food when I go.

Unfortunately, every single time I eat there, without fail, I come home with RAGING diarrhea.
