Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Ugh, I don't know why I let my hubby pick this place when we go out to eat. The kids enjoyed their mac and cheese and chocolate milk, but really, you can get that almost anywhere. The adults shared an appetizer-- spinach dip with chips and I had a southwestern shrimp pasta. Everything was very underwhelming. Too much salt and grease and not real flavor. The service is good, but that's not enough to bring me back.

Mass market american food and overpriced. On principle alone, i find applebees offensive because it does two things,1. doesn't try to be different and 2. places like these drive mom and pop greasy spoons out of the marketplace. They celebrate how generic they can be in their menu items and I noticed that they seemed to purge their item of any unique items that they add to it. To top it off, at this particular location, the service is downright mediocre. Many a time i've gone in (not by choice mind you) to find a somewhat rude waiter or waitress. In general, I can't recommend this place. You don't get good food, you don't get good service, and you get an environment that has been much better done by TGI Fridays, Old Chicago, Buffalo Wild Wings, Ruby Tuesday's, 3 of which are right across vicksburg from this location. I know that Applebee's is catering to be generic however, in terms of quality to price, if you compare them against a greasy spoon sort of restaurant, their quality is significantly beneath that of the greasy spoons I frequent and applebees is substantially more expensive and that is really sad because these restaurants become more and more common and the greasy spoons where you actually get to know the waitress and chef are becoming rarer and rarer by the day. If you must have generic food, there's an Old Chicago, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Ruby Tuesday's across Vicksburg within walking distance from applebee's.

Blah - I knew the dessert chef for all of Applebee's - way too much sweet and not enough flavor. The same can be said for the menu - way too much SALT and not enough good flavor. When are these low end restaurants going to learn - and why monster portions?

It's the prototypical American chain family dining restaurant, with somewhat mediocre food for the price but better appetizers/specials. Sizable bar area nestled in the middle of the restaurant seating, but Beer selection is minuscule relative to their nearbly competition, and the staff includes both remarkably good and frustratingly inattentive personnel. Very family friendly, a little pricey for the quality if not ordering a special or happy hour item, and even a little more generic than TGI Fridays and other stereotypical American restaurants.

Stopped in for an early dinner. I had the Thai Shrimp Salad and a lemonade. Both were good. I sat at the bar (the only one), so Ican't speak to the service. It was pretty slow, so they were attentive. Salad was zippy, and fresh. I had two lemonades. The first seemed weak, the second was good. Not too sugary. Same decor as always ;)

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
