    All though the food is good I can't get past the black mold on the ceiling above our table. Please someone clean up this place.

    Served us ten minutes before closing. Good food and excellent service. Drank some beer and salmon after a long road trip!

    We had a little hiccup at the start but when I got my Asian chicken wonton tacos I was blown away. They were the best I've eaten at an Applebee's in years. The tacos were full and had a good amount of chicken, slaw and sauce. I told the server to compliment the chef who came out to thank me. He did an amazing job. The combo was good too. If I'm ever in the area I'd again for the tacos. The service was good not 5 star. Always room for improvement.

    I have eaten at more than 50 different Applebee's in the last few years because of my job. If you follow my reviews, you know it is because I know what to expect when I order it and I will not be surprised. Tonight after a long road trip to Chicago and on my way back to Atlanta, I decided to stay in Dalton and finish the drive in the morning. I headed to Applebee's for my standard steak and bourbon. When I walked through the door, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this location was physically different than any other location I had ever been to. It was open and inviting. Gone was the dark dingy bar and overhead bar storage. The bar top beer dispenser was relocated to the wall on the end of the bar. A major plus for anyone who wants to sit at the bar but shows up later in the evening and the only seats that are used to be available were behind the draft beer station. Now every seat at the bar has direct access to the bar tender and a great view of the plethora of televisions in the bar area. Booths have been replaced with tables and chairs, with a line of padded bench seating with tables and chairs along two sides of the perimeter of the bar. A very upscale modern decore abounds. Even though I know I am not sitting at a 5-star Atlanta bar restaurant, I certainly do not feel that I am sitting in an Applebee's. It is a much brighter and vibrant experience. I now feel based on comparision that it may be a bit dark in regular locations. As for the food, I ordered my standard 9oz sirloin and 2 sides of mashed potatoes. (As you know I long gave up ordering the broccoli because it disapates heat so fast it always arrives to the table cold). Sirloin ordered medium well and was done perfectly. Mashed potatoes were great as always. (Not rocket science to make mashed - but you would be surprised what I see, eating on thw road 200+ days a year) As stated in numerous reviews over the years, Applebee's will never win a Michelin star for fine dining, but the food for the price added with the service is almost always great. If the food does not meet you expectations at this price, then your standards are entirely too high. As for service, this location shines. Heather behind the bar is exceptional. Prompt service (and the bar is full tonight), freindly and always with a smile. When in the area and headed to Applebee's to sit at the bar, hopefully she will be here to serve you. She has been here for 8 years, so hopefully you can experience her southern hospitality! Some side notes I think that are worth adding: The bathrooms here (and I can only speak abouth the mens room) are devoid of the stupid "apple" tiles. Every time I have used facilities in the other restaurants, I always had the feeling that I was in kindergarten. I realize that that was the compny logo, but in that application it seemed childish. The fixtures are updated and the door has a transluent panel. Very modern. The only negative is that they have one stall and one urinal. Perhaps small for the number of people this place seats. Additionally I think the stall (built to accomodate handicap personnel) is too big. You could turn a semi-truck around in that place. Plus 3 points for decor..... minus one of size and utilization of space. The computer stations for servers have been relocated. One is behind the wall that the draft beer is on and they have built an entirely new station in the dining area. This eliminates unnecessary conversations (and wasted time) between the servers and the bartender. Servers only need to come to the bar to pick up drinks. With the new "boothless" layout, this location has an easier time of seating group of more than four by sliding two (or more) tables together instead of waiting for the one large booth space to empty. Lastly, I just want to point out that this location has numerous "Veterans Only" parking spaces. Some locations have one and most have zero, so it was nice to see that there was some acknowledgement for service personell (I retired after 21 years of Naval Service). All in all I give Applebee's a huge thumbs up for this location and the changes to bring this brand into this century! I love the new atmosphere! I will be sure to stop at this location when I travel on I-75 to or from Atlanta to support the changes that were made here when they completely rebuilt this in February 2014. Unfortunately now when I travel to "standard" Applebee reataurants, I will be slightly let down because of what I know they are capable of being! Kuddo's to the person or group that had the vision to break from the corporate standard and venture out and create something new and exciting!

    Mediocre. The food seemed like it had been heated in a microwave and was the quality of a frozen dinner. Not worth what I paid for it.

It has a good vibe, plenty of seating and plenty of parking in a lot next door. Parking is super tight around the restaurant property, but there is parking on the street and walkable parking as well! I really like their burgers. My only complaint is that I don't like the lettuce they use, but hey, I just took it off and I was super happy.

This is probably as close as they have to a sports bar atmosphere given the number of tv's and of course the ping pong table. When the weather is good, they have the ability to open up the back of the restaurant to their outside eating area, which is great. When the weather is uncooperative and the outside closed off, I find HFC to be a bit dark, with the motif maybe a bit dated. There's a full bar, with a very good beer selection. The service is always good, a characteristic of all the Monen restaurants. As to the food, there's a broad enough selection to satisfy anyone in your family. While the Philly brisket sandwich I had was just okay and I'm still trying to figure out the buffalo cucumber salad, the nachos and chicken wings were really good.
