I remember them from a movie called Ricky Bobby. I really like their new commercials but that is not reason to try them. Thoughts?

As a kid, we lived in Texarkana for a time, and Applebee's was Sunday lunch after church type meal. Now...can't say I've been on my own accord in decades.

It has probably been 10 + years since the wife and I have eaten there and there is a reason it has been 10+ years.

I’ll eat at Applebee’s (or Chili’s) if that’s my only option.
Couple of years ago, the wife and I ate at an Applebee’s and had a terrific salad and steak. We were amazed. Some months later we went back to order the same thing. We were told that neither the steak or salad dressing were available now, due to “corporate”. Haven’t been back.

The one in Sherman would sell us beer in high school- I think that was the last time I went. The food just wasn’t good.

In Gainesville, Chili's has a MUCH higher reputation. The Applebee's is in an economically failing part of town and is more known as a bar for Texas residents that work at the casino. If you like flies and poor food, it's the choice here.
Pass the gravy.

They do have a Big National Advertising campaign started.
I like their riblets or whatever they call them. Beer is always cold and the $1.00 marg's aren't too shabby.
But I fit right in any WT restaurant.

Worst service of any well known chain restaurant I have been to. I actually left a dime tip at the Bryan one several years ago . I like Chilis, except they keep changing their menu and removing foods I like. That said being old and decrepit I dont eat inside restaurants any more and have take out spots I use. :Neither are on my list.

I’ve given them several tries to make it right, failed every time. And I’m talking just sandwiches mainly, lol.

I ate at one in Copperas Cove before a football game last Friday. It looked like the only place to eat where someone wouldn't try to stab me.
It wasn't as awful as I expected. Maybe that's the trick to the place, go in with really low expectations and they'll beat them.
I would probably eat anywhere else if I had the option, but I wouldn't pass one up if I was starving and it was the only thing available.

We usually do call in/take out at Applebee's every couple of months (during Covid). They are okay and convenient for us, usually after Church on Sundays.

I went there one more time. They would only take cash or credit card. They would not give me credit for my post count.

I would never go there just because of that stupid a$$, pop country commercial with people dancing. Kind of today's gay country mixed with rap, I'm sure the Luke Bryan kind of crowd likes that.

Stopped at one in Dyersburg, TN Sunday night, what a mistake.
Was shown where our table was and waited and waited. Finally a waiter asked if we had been waited on and we said no. He said he would find the waitress. After a while she shows up. I order a draft Bud Lite and she asks to see my ID so it can be scanned in the computer. Geez I am 72 years old. So, I asked her for her ID to verify that she was old enough to serve beer, that got no where. Gave her my LTC. Waited and waited to find out the machine was out of paper, finally the beer arrives.
Ordered shrimp which comes with cole slaw and french fries. Shrimp arrives and she asks if I need anything else? Yep, where is the cole slaw and french fires. She brings them and asks is there anything else? Yep, where is he ketchup for the fries.
Should have just gone to Cracker Barrel, but Ii wanted a beer.

They have been going down hill for a while now. The family 15 years ago used to go a lot. Now days once a year if that.
