Ehhhh….
The service was spotty at best.
The guy at the bar was attentive and working hard.
His female partner was unaware when people needed refills or even ready to order.
She spent most of her time unloading the dishes and talking with a friend. The soup was good but the burger had no flavor. Maybe the service is better on the floor.
The male bartender was fine but he was doing everything.

This was my first time having Applebees and I was pleasantly surprised. - Pretzel appetizer is insanely filling.
They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the in.
Salty as hell but I just swiped the crystals off the top and it was fine. - Mozzarella sticks came out piping hot with cheese pull.
Lots of marinara sauce for dipping.
Delicious. - Chicken tenders were crunchy and flavorful.
Not very juicy but tasty. - Ribs didn't have a ton of meat on them but flavor was satisfying for the expectation that I had going in. The 2-for deals are phenomenal for the amount of food.
You can get anything and they balance out the price between the $20-$30 ranges.
Service was also very good when I went.
Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and got beers and food out quickly.

I ordered classic cheeseburger, and it was fine.
