Applebee’s is known as the “Neighborhood Grill”. I would not ever say that I feel like I am eating with Tyler TX neighbors or feel comfortable. More times than one have I sat in frustration for much to long with no food nor drink and waiting for service.
In Atlanta Georgia the first Applebee’s was opened by Bill and T.J. Palmer in 1980. Now almost 30 years later Applebee’s is one of the largest restaurants chains in the United States. Applebee’s claims to focus on good food and great service, only a couple of the times that I have gone there and the service has been good.
The menu is full of a large selection and great prices. For the most part, you can not go wrong with the food. I have not had anything that I did not like. Pick from the many different appetizers, salads, steaks, pastas, ribs or steaks, chicken, or seafood. Also top off your meal with a delicious dessert. Try one of the three dessert shooter, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate mousse, or hot fudge sundae. Or try one of the delicious baked desserts. Let your kids choose between a kid’s size Oreo cookie sundae, or Oreo cookie shake. Applebee’s has it’s own section of the menu for Weight Watchers. Each item has less-calories.
If you want to have a place to go out with your friends watch a game or hang out and talk, Applebee’s has an large bar with all your favorite beers on tap; Miller, Coors, Bud Light, Budweiser, Corona, Blue Moon, Michelob Ultra, Heineken, and Samuel Adams. Or sit back and enjoy a Margarita, Sangria, Cocktail, Martini, or one of their other “refreshing favorites”. Enjoy a glass of white or red wines.
When you walk into the Applebee’s Tyler restaurant you will enjoy the décor of the antique pictures and fun antique pieces. Many times that I have been to Applebee’s, the servers always got something wrong; over-charged, orders came out wrong, and it took forever for drinks to be filled. It seems like the best service you get is when you call for “carside to go service”. In 2004 Applebee’s started the “Carside To Go”. This is one of the greatest ideas in the causal-dining business world. You simply call in, order, and they bring your food right to your car.
Though I do not enjoy the frustrating service and at times long waits, the food is great and prices make the food even better. If you want to enjoy food at home and not mess with the cooking, or clean the mess, call and pick up a great meal!
