Applebee's Des Moines

The restaurant was very busy when we visited and they were short-staffed. We had to wait a bit to be seated, but it wasn't too long. Despite the staffing issue, we felt that our meal arrived promptly.

We were in search of a casual dining experience for a quick meal. The bartender was friendly and provided great suggestions for specials on both food and drinks. Service was quick and our food arrived promptly. While masks were optional, customers maintained proper distancing from each other.

I have a special fondness for this restaurant for several reasons. Des Moines offers a variety of great dining options, ranging from high-end establishments to more casual ones.

Arrived at the Applebees restaurant about 4:30pm on a Friday nightThe place wasnt too busy and we were seated promptly.

Applebees is price gouging during this crisis, shame on themThey took their two for 22 special off-line.
