Lots of great favorites including meatloaf, hamburger steak, wings, fried chicken gizzards and livers, homemade desserts, including cobblers and banana pudding, etc, etc, with all the homemade sides and vegetables that you can imagine. And then there are the "throwed rolls." Hot with butter, honey, gravy, sorghum molasses, and more. Great service and down home country ambiance to spare. Don't go expecting fancy, but I guarantee you won't leave hungry.

The staff were friendly as usual and our server was really good and the place is clean as usual! The salmon patties were really good, I'd order them again. The food, overall, seems to be not well mixed with salt. My husband's chicken and dumplings had an inedible layer of just pure salt. He mixed everything up and it was better but the shock of a mouthful of salt lingered for the rest of the meal. The fried potatoes pass around had the same issue. This is still very much so a tourist destination and a once in a blue moon trip for us when we find ourselves in the area. The allure of the "throwed rolls" and pass arounds is enough to keep this place an option for us, especially since we're learning what not to order.

Unfortunately, the Skillet Cookie was a HUGE disappointment! The assumption is that if it's a "skillet" cookie - it will come out sizzling/hot. NOT!

Wow. I mean I've ALWAYS loved Applebee's, but todays visit left MUCH to be desired…read more My server, who was also the bartender was let's just say not very happy to be at work. I watched as she stood with her hands on her pockets, sour look on her face.... However, She was very happy to chat with the 2 older gentleman sitting in her section. (They seemed to be regular's) I asked for extra parmigiana on my Tomato soup....apparently a mistake. When she brings my food out, it has powdered parmigiana on it Gross. When I asked about it she explained "They discontinued that." I sat and listened while she told another guest that Covid has made it impossible to get Celery. ‍ Lastly, She took a phone call from what seemed to be someone wanting a job and after being incredibly rude to the poor person, she hung up with a very loud sigh and said "Yea, she's never calling you back!" Situational awareness is a thing. People hear you. People see you....and more than anything, people feel when you do not want to wait on them or be "bothered" to help them.

The place is nice and modern looking/loud with the noise traveling all over like a noisy bar. The menu is good with something for everyone and we had a burger and country fried steak and I can only review the country fried steak. The service was that southern US slow but ok. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The country fried steak was bigger than the average and hot from the fryer with a nice crispy crust. The steamed broccoli was slightly better than room temperature with a little crunch left in it and not total mush. The mashed potatoes were cold straight from the fridge for some reason like leftovers. My plate had chips on them that I would have thrown away in my kitchen. The water cup was a cheap plastic cup with a heavy a chlorinated taste in the water and not drinkable. Overall my lunch was disappointing for a restaurant with such a high number of reviews which I feel is fake compared to other restaurants in town.
