    Had to admit I was a little surprised to see a chain restaurant like Applebees be in a town of this size.  

    I've had to work in this area several times in the last few months, and I have dined here on several occasions.  I have been pleased with the servers as well as the dining options.

    I live in town and rarely even attempt to eat here because it's usually poor service and not very good food. However today I decided to give it another shot. Went in. Got seated. Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink orders or ask if we needed anything or something. Keep in mind there are two other customers in the whole restaurant. After 15 minutes we got frustrated and left. Now we are at taste of Italy in the same shopping center and have been here 5 minutes and already have our salads and drinks and are being treated amazingly.

    The service sucks and the food is always cold. The only thing worth going for is the mixed drinks but you have to be willing to wait a while for someone to even notice you sitting at the bar.

    If I could give zero stars I would. I was not expecting much but this was horrible! We waited about 15 minutes for a server to say anything to us after we were seated. The waitstaff was friendly enough. The manager, (or someone wearing camo crocks, Jean's, and an oversized long sleeve came out to assist the 2 waitstaff during a rush, was loud and wasn't value added to the situation. We finally got our food that sat in the window for at least 10 minutes (the plates were so hot), but it was all over cooked. My husband asked about the beers on tap and they still had Samuel Adam's Octoberfest...its Memorial Day. So he got a regular Sam. Which happened about 30 minutes after ordering it, and it wasn't drinkable. My husband will drink anything but took one sip and pushed it away. At this point my daughter had to use the restroom, so my husband took her to the men's room. They immediately walked out and he sent her to the women's room. Apparently, there was a backed up toilet that had so much in it, feces was almost seat level. The womans room wasn't much better. It hadn't been swept in a while, so much so there were dead bugs. The soap dispenser was laying on the counter, empty. There were 2 paper towel dispensers wall mounted but 1 didn't work and the other was mounted crooked. To make matters worse, I had to stop at a gas station 20 minutes later because I got sick. I'm so thankful my kids didn't eat off my plate for once! We will NEVER make this stop again on our way to the Blue Mountains!!

    I got the bacon cheeseburger and fries for lunch. After about two bites of the burger, i couldn't eat anymore of it. It tasted like an entire bottle of liquid smoke was dumped into a single burger patty. ALL i could taste was a smoke flavor, not even the bacon cheese or other toppings i had. I never knew it was possible to mess up a burger that bad, but they sure did! Our server was great though
