Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
Came here yesterday with Brad after a long day at the mall. I was excited to try #GetFried. I have seen them all over Twitter and Instagram. One thing I thought was weird though is they never post pictures of their food... I ordered the 716 and Brad ordered the Oh Canada. While ordering, I noticed the fries were freshly fried, since someone kept bring batches of them. Something odd is they didn't use fresh cut fries. Just fries from a bag. Down a star in my book. Five Guys in the mall even uses fresh cut fries. I also noticed the queso and nacho cheese were clearly from a bag. Eating the poutine, you can tell the gravy is from a can too. Down another star. The 716 was as expected. Didn't blow my mind, but this is a mall food court. Something I did wish was that the fries were seasoned. Or they should at least have salt and pepper there to season them yourselves. That would have helped with the gravy too. Down another star. All-in-all, it was eh, okay. I probably wouldn't be back because I tend to eat healthier than this. The pricing seemed very expensive for what you get, although the portions were a good size for a mid day snack. The service was good though, although it is Chipotle-style assembly line, which I am not a fan of anyways. With more unique branding (rather than using slogans that have been on Tumblr/Pinterest for years), different products, and actual seasoning, I think #GetFried could be a lot better.

Do you like French fries? Do you like cheese on your fries? How about bacon? How about steak? Heck, how about almost anything you want on your fries? If so, #getfried is the place for you. #getfried is a new food court option at the Galleria Mall. Let's start with the fries themselves - terrific. Crunchy and seasoned well. The toppings themselves are decent too. I ordered the Rocky Balboa. This is basically a Philly Cheesesteak (minus the roll) on your fries. Really good. One thing to remember though - This is a PHILLY Cheesesteak and not a Steak and Cheese. As such this means it's done the Philly way - with Cheese Whiz. I personally prefer melted provolone on steak subs but if you order this the standard way it's done correctly - for better or worse. Everything here is a single price so if you'd prefer to substitute you can do so. So are these the best fries on the planet? No, not at all. However, considering it's a food court option, they're good. So if you're tired of Subway, the Chinese place, etc, I would recommend giving #getfried a try. A welcome addition to an otherwise lackluster food court.

Do NOT waste your time on the poutine. First off, they don't use real cheese curds. Its some cheap, flavorless cheese product. The gravy comes from a bag. Second, the menu says "melted cheese curds." The girl making my fries told me they don't melt the cheese anymore because the cheese was "exploding" on them...? So you're stuck with a basket of gravy covered fries and ice cold chunks of cheese. If you like real, authentic poutine, this doesn't come close. Also tried the pizza fries, they were okay, but the sauce was on the very sweet side. A weird combination, though. I personally don't think pizza toppings and french fries vibe too well. I really don't like the fact that not many of the ingredients are fresh. The fries seem like frozen fries; very bland. The cheese sauce is a bright yellow, bagged nacho cheese. The bacon bits are very obviously loaded with chemicals and the chives are dried. An interesting addition to the food court, but they definitely need to make some improvements.

Upon walking up I looked at the idea of a big basket of fries customized to my choosing...a deep breath....Daddy's home! Although I was a little surprised to see pans with Pre cooked fries under heat lamps, a little disappointed to find out my fries wouldn't be cooked to order...BUT...They ran out of the lamp fries...so mine were cooked fresh. Holla! Anywho, back to the potatoes. The fries are really good. What I call "Carnival Style" taste really fresh, crispy, right amount of salt. I got "The Brit" AKA Fish & Chips. Pretty good, lacked a sauce. Also they were out of Lemon...absurd! The Tatar sauce and The fish itself was pretty average. Can't be bad. My buddy got the traditional "Oh, Canada". white curds and brown gravy. He said he liked it. But he's a real Canadian. So he gave it "7 out of 10" I'll trust his opinion. Though pretty average. The idea is great. Customizable poutine with plenty of innovative template list. It's awesome. Defiantly stands out in the Mall as far as a food court in concerned. Defiantly don't overlook!

I was so excited for this place to open. My boyfriend and I LOVE poutine and have tried it from every place within 50 miles. Granted, we knew this wasn't going to be some legit duck confit and curds stuff but wow... it was bad. The fries in themselves were very bland. They kind of just threw stuff on like a Subway for loaded fries.It's not even worth the time to actually write a full review. It was just bad.

Okay so here goes. First off I did not expect the worlds greatest poutine but I was very disappointed. The gravy was packaged and the curds went on cold. My wife had the waffle fries with bacon, nacho cheese, and ground beef. No that's what was up. They were so good I threw away the so so poutine and got an order for myself. They were so good I actually hurt myself eating them. Had it not been for the cold cheese curd and packaged gravy on the poutine it would have been a five star review. If you do get adventurous and order the poutine don't order with waffle fries. The fries soak up the gravy so fast they get extremely soggy.

Absolutely disgusting. How do you mess up French fries?! We were excited that the galleria finally got a French fry place, like many malls do. The design is nice and the menu looks good. But once we got in line I began to get nervous. As I was waiting I watched a guy pull out a plastic bag of gravy, walk over to the line and pour it into the warmer to be served. It looked gross. Next, out came a box and a plastic bag of chili. Come on. I understand it's fast food but seriously everything here is prepackaged, frozen crap. So I went as light as possible to avoid the processed garbage. I couldn't get much cheese because it was nacho liquid cheese. Yuck. So I got some chives that were dried. Not even fresh chives?! Literally nothing fresh at all. How disappointing. When I finally made it through the line of pre packaged junk, the fries weren't even good. Barely crispy. What a joke. Come on buffalo, get with it.

I love fries. Like, I have an unhealthy attachment to fries. So of course I had to check this place out! If you're someone who loves fries, and loves a lot of random stuff on your fries, this place is perfect. The fries were freshly fried and perfectly crispy (nothing worse than soggy fries with lots of toppings). I ordered the 716: waffle fries (you can choose from straight, tater-tots, waffle sweet potato, or curly!) topped with shredded chicken, wing sauce, and blue cheese. It was divine. My friend built her own, starting with the sweet potato fries and she was very happy with hers. Refreshing change from the normal mall fare. And they're local!

I paid for items they didn't even have... the items I did pay for were cold and the food quality was mediocre. Very disappointed! Looks can be deceiving!! I'm sure the good reviews on here are from those who work there or are related those who own this establishment..

I wish everything was a little warmer. Maybe a little fresher. A great concept and I could taste the goodness but it just didn't hit a homerun. So many choices but the staff was great in helping me make a decision. But again a little more warmer and a little more fresher.

I don't know why but I was expecting it to be more like duck frites, but its just normal French fries considering all the hype. Yes the fries were very good, and my daughter wanted the Chili cheese fries and I ruined my diet by eating them with her. They were beyond good. But probably will stay away from that area of the mall when I'm there, just so I Dont get fat.

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.

When a restaurant serves ribs as their main dish, then you can assume the diet-friendliness of their menu. Well, Applebee's is no different. However, you can dig deeper into their menu and pick some good healthy food options for sure.
