We recently went to the same Applebees. I thought it was just me thinking that the service was extremely slow! We went in, absolutely famished, and the service was (and I am not over exaggerating), extremely slow. It took forever to have lunch, and it was not like it was overly crowded. I may give them yet another chance, because I too like Applebees, but I will try it at a time, where I have all the time in the world…so it may be a while.

Around a quarter of the unoccupied tables were waiting to be bussed, which gave the whole place a feeling of neglect.
Never again - we'd have been better off grabbing a burger next door at Wendy's.
