I recently visited Applebee's Grill + Bar for a quick dinner before catching a game. The atmosphere was cozy and casual, perfect for a laid-back night out. I ordered the Bacon Ranch Chicken Sandwich, which was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive! 🍔
The highlight was definitely the drink specials, but let's just say my $2 Long Island wasn't quite what I expected. At least the mozzarella sticks were decent! They do offer a great beer selection, so I’d be willing to give it another shot - perhaps for lunch next time... 🌟
