My family and I don't eat there very often. Usually we eat a other local restaurants. But if I remember right, it's good food.

It's an American restaurant with a very limited menu. (IMO)
I'm, generally, not a fan. (Though they do have good BBQ-chicken sandwiches.)
I'm more a fan of Outback. Mmmm... The "Mad Max Burger" with a bowl of Baked Potato Soup. :drool:

They are way to expensive and they don't have what I like. So, I don't go there anymore. Good cause there's no AppleBees in Hinesville... I went to AppleBees when we went to SC on vacation one year. Awful it was.

I don't care too much for AppleBees. I rather go to Ryans but Hinesville don't have a Ryans.

For a while i wasn't that huge of a fan of it -- i prefered to go to TGIFridays, but over the years it has slowly grown on me.
I now LOOOOOVE Applebees!!! We go there ALLL the time on weekends after dance rehearsal and such! I was just there on saturday, matter of fact!! My favorite thing to get is their oriental chicken salad, or wrap! MMMM! They also have DELICIOUS desserts!! My friend and i split the blondie brownie on saturday too! Oh good times!

Although the food is pretty good, it costs too much. And I don't like the "Yuppies" atmosphere.
I once saw a set of encyclopedias sitting on a high shelf gathering dust, put there for "atmosphere". And I remember thinking, "I bet somewhere near here is a smart kid growing up in poor family who would love having these encyclopedias, instead of them sitting here being ignored by Yuppies."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight, it's a restaurant!! I didn't get it at first. When I read through the topic I first thought it was about 'appletrees', , guess not...
Well anywayz, looked at the site cuz I've never heard from it.. Looks very McDonaldish, But I guess it's very healthy and stuff? Looks kinda nice. We don't have it over here in Holland!

I used to like getting ribs at applebees, but I really don't like going there anymore. It's okay if you're in a hurry and know what you're going to get. Like McDonalds. It's scary, avoided at all costs, but acceptable if there isn't another quick solution.

I have been to three different Applebees and none of them were good, so I am definately saying no.

I've learned a lot about how they make food at places like Applebees and after hearing all of that.. I am not interested in eating their food. The only reason I don't like their food is because they use the cheaper brands of ingredients except for the produce. I'm paying 12 bucks for a steak dinner that should only cost 7 bucks.

We don't go to Applebees. Don't know why, just don't. I think the last time we went, Grace was here.
I like their chicken fingers, but then again, I like nearly everyone's chicken fingers,

My teacher works as a purchasing manager for a major hotel in town and he knows everything about whats bad in the restaurant industry. I've learned things like "steaks in places like Applebees are pumped with water to stay moised." All the other steaks in town from "steak houses" are bone dry. The reality is I can get 5 pieces of steak for 12 bucks instead of one piece from Applebees.
