Applebee's - Taylor

I’ve had some disappointing experiences here in the past, but this time was fantastic. The food arrived almost instantly, including the appetizers, and everything tasted fresh. The bartender was quick with the drinks. If you order a margarita, I recommend asking for light ice!

I didn't have high expectations for a small city grill, but I was pleasantly surprised! The place was bustling with a loyal local crowd, which added to the lively atmosphere. There was one server working the bar as well, and another who was still learning the ropes. We were hoping they wouldn't be too overwhelmed. I ordered a steak, and it was absolutely amazing. It was cooked to perfection and incredibly juicy—I even had to ask for extra napkins! Last week, when I wanted to visit (a 15-mile drive), the evening manager kindly called me to let me know they would be closing early, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be returning!

At first, I was a bit irritated because there was no one else in the restaurant, yet it took 20 minutes to be seated for our party of 10. Fortunately, our waitress, Sky, really stepped up. She took charge, combined our tables, and took all of our orders efficiently. She was fantastic with our group, and we all appreciated her hard work. We made sure to tip her well. Sky, keep reaching for the stars! You're destined for great things!

Actually, I was surprised. My 6 ounces Sirloin was tasty and right to medium cooked rarely. It was cut very nicely. I had also ordered special steamed broccoli with cheese sauce. It was to order and tasted really good. The French onion soup I had as an appetizer was excellent. The only thing I have to say negatively is that the waiters don't put us and let us wait 12 minutes when there were 15 percent of the capacity patronage. I literally saw 5-6 tables where they could let us sit while sorting out a waiter problem that was decided who wanted to wait for us. Our waiter was very good 20 percent tip waiter. I'll be back. I think these were just short employees. Good work, but not great, so I'll get her a 4.3 this time. Give them another chance to update gor safely 5.
