Ok, Applebee's. Yep. Applebee's. They are a giant chain. Yep. They aren't local. True. But..........I love this place! The Long Island Iced Tea's are delicious and the beer tap selection frequently changes and is usually quite good. Food menu changes often and have yet to eat a bad meal. The '2 for $20 or $25' meals are a great deal. With the meal deal you get 1 appetizer and 2 full entree's. Decent menu to pick from and of course there is the full menu to chose from if you wish. What makes me really like this place it the bar staff. They ALL have been very friendly and make you feel at home. Very attentive and always willing to chat and laugh with you. In fact, haven't run across an unfriendly staff member there yet. I cannot speak of the other locations around the area as we always go to the Hwy 100 location, but I am sure that you will find them all to be up to par. I say, go and find out for yourself and enjoy a Long Island Iced Tea and let the good times roll!

I hate to leave a bad review but this place needs some work. The food is typical of a chain, not great but satisfying. This service is terrible. Being in this industry, I commonly observe service and staff behavior closely. The bartender was inattentive and left the bar without a word for ten minutes while I was sitting there. Noone else tended the bar, even when 5 new customers sat down. When she returned to a nearly full bar, no apologies were spoken for the wait. I also noticed several servers hanging out at a nearby table socializing while several tables sat dirty and customers looking around needing service. I've been here multiple times and have always been amazed at the lack of professionalism.

I live not too far from this location and i've been there many times. I've gotten 1 or 2 waitresses the same otherwise its always a new waiter/waitress. I've never had anything bad to say about this place. I love it! Everyone is always so kind and attentive to me. Not to mention the food is great! I frequently go after 10 for the 1/2 off appetizers and the prices arnt bad either, so 1/2 off after 10 makes the price that much better! I go here with friends and family and we always love the service. It's a young upbeat atmosphere, the music is good and the drinks are good as well. I will continue to always go to this place!! Great job everyone, keep up the good work!!

Best part about chain restaurants is they are supposed to be consistent. Unlike many places in Wisconsin this place is always good and always taste the same as the other Applebee's. In this case this is one of the better Applebee's even when compared to Applebee's in Georgia.

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.
