More 4 Your $Buck!

Although I am only 17, I wish I could have tasted some of these drink specials they cater on certain days. I mean, nothing wrong with a Margarita here or there with a plate a steak.

If you want a family friendly place where you can stuff yourself til you explode and drink until you feel dizzy (good dizzy, not bad dizzy) then this is the Applebee's for you!

Facility Overview

At first when I walked in and the host had held the door open for me, I was taken aback someone who finally treated me like the queen I am. HA! After being led to my booth near the bar, my server, Marcia, was fantastic, like a sweet little southern belle who spoke with a smooth Tennessee accent.

The restaurant itself was clean, kept up, and comfortable. It was a little darker in there than I would have imagined, but the service made up for that. The entire dining experience was fantastic. I was always kept entertained and fed. About half way through my entree the manager came and asked me how my meal was. I felt a little special but then I noticed he went to almost every table. :( But I figured, if someone that important who was probably stressed over the management of the restaurant, came to greet their customers, it was because they really wanted their guest to have a special experience and a good expression.

Rate The Restaurant out of 5
Dining Room: ****
Bathroom: *****
Service: *****
Cleansliness: ****

They definitely know what they're doing over there.

Food 4 Dayz!

FIRST OFF; Fried Green Beans!

These little buggers were delicious. I've never had fried green beans before, so I figured why not? They sauce on the right is a chipotle-mayo sauce, with kind of a spice. The other sauce, white one on the left, is a horseradish mix. I personally hate horseradish and I did taste a teeny bit, almost puked. But hey, if you like it, GO FOR IT! It's an acquired taste.
The above picture is one of the best appetizers they have, in my opinion. These are their boneless wings. Comes with a side of Ranch, Blue-Cheese, and extra dipping sauce, like whats on the wings. If you do like a little bone in your meat, they have regular wings as well. And not stopping there, they offer Fried Green Tomatoes, Mozzarella Sticks with marinara, Pretzel Bread and their new beer/cheese sauce, and so much more! I didnt try the Pretzel Bread but Marcia did tell me it was a crowd favorite. So jump on over to your crazy side and take divvvve!
They have 5 different flavors of bbq sauce, for those of you who can't handle the burn, Honey BBQ would be best for you. I chose the hottest sauce because I like my chicken hot and spicy.
 
Entrees:

The picture below is their amazing Three-Cheese Chicken Penne pasta dish. It's served with a breadstick as well, even though the pasta is more than enough to fill you up. It was very good. Perhaps even a favorite of mine. They have penne pasta covered in a 3 cheese sauce; mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan—topped grilled chicken, bruschetta, fresh basil and Alfredo sauce. The sauce is just the perfect amount, and thick too. Not watery and running off my plate! Definitely an Italian food lovers perfect choice.



Below is a picture of their Southwest Shrimp Fettuccine, also available with steak instead of shrimp, for only about $1 more. It's covered in chipotle lime shrimp on top of fettuccine noodles tossed with black bean corn salsa, garlic, herbs and white cheddar cheese. Spicy Queso Blanco and chopped cilantro finish it off Southwest style. It does have a little spice, which is what I like, but if you'd rather not have a lil kick, then this isn't the dish for you. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and still steaming when they brought it to my table. I personally adore their pasta but don't even begin to believe they have a small menu. They serve steak, chicken, burgers, seafood, and more. Not to mention their kids menu has anything your little hoodlum desires.
 
Delectible Desserts:
 
This one serving dessert is only 1.00$! It's a cheap price for a good ending to a meal. This is Applebee's Brownie Bite, the smaller version of the Blue Ribbon Brownie dessert. But if you want to get yo' sweetz on; check out their dessert menu, all of those pictures made my mouth water.

When you go out to eat, you stuff your face so much you want to explode, but even after all that; desserts always catch your eye. The problem is, they're always too big and push you to the end of uncomfortably full. But this little lovely is a great idea. Only 1$ and you get a scoop of ice cream and a small brownie, just to top of your gourmet dining experience. Who ever decided the Brownie Bite was a good idea, really had a break though!



Everything the served was HOT HOT HOT! And fresh too. Even the brownie and chocolate sauce on the brownie bite were warm, just melted in your mouth.
