    Tex-Mex Shrimp Irresist-A-Bowl

    We love going to this Applebee's location. We have always had good service and always had good food. No complaints!

    Beef and potatoes

    Service: Four of us arrived around 7:00 and were seated promptly. Our waitress arrived quickly for the drink orders. After she left, it was awhile before we saw her again. She apologized when she came back and the rest of our visit was very timely with everything. Food: We all ordered a beef and potatoe dish, chicken quesadilla, spin art with chips, and lemon Chx with cranberry rice. The chicken quesadilla got a great review and our waitress said it is her favorite item on the menu. The beef and potatoe dish was good but the portion was smaller than expected. The spin art was a hit as well. What peaked my interest the most was the drink menu, specifically the rasberry Cosmo and bourbon berry drink. I didn't try either but if like to. The blonde brownie dessert also sounded pretty good too.

    My new favorite low-calorie dish at the local Applebee's.

    When it's a little past 10 PM and all restaurants around are closed, these guys just saved me!!! Lol

    Service was terrible. So slow, we ordered right as we came in and it took almost an hour to get our appetizers.

We had a few plates of the loaded nachos with chicken and with beef... They were heaped high and delicious. Plenty on each plate for two or three people. The meat additions are not discounted during happy hour, but even at full price with the half-price nachos it's a bargain. Others in our group got the quesadillas and we shared some deviled eggs. All of them are very tasty. We also got some cheese balls. They were pretty much the standard fair but also very good. Drinks are another great bargain during the happy hour with discounted beer and mixed drinks. All the drinks were very tasty. Our server was Bailey. She was very pleasant, fun, and enthusiastic. The food came out very quickly, and the drinks came off the bar in a very reasonable time as well. There is a large U-shaped bar and plenty of booth and table seating along with that outdoor patio. There is a 4% non-cash adjustment for using your credit card. Definitely a very discounted happy hour, but the food was delicious and I would try it again for happy hour or just for dinner

It was getting to be dinner time, so asked my wife to meet me here for my last stop. Every time we've stopped here, we have been impressed with the quality of the food and tonight was no different. I had already enjoyed some Happy Hour specials at another venue, but my wife hadn't yet eaten dinner. She ordered the Gyro & Fries (see picture) and as you might guess, I did try a couple of bites. We both thought it was a very good gyro and were delighted to see that it is the daily special each day from 11-2, so we will definitely be coming back for lunch some day.

Don't tell him I went without him :) Anyway, I'm glad the wife and I gave it a try. We walked in at 5:30 on a Friday and it was busy. We didn't wait but for a few minutes and had a table. The greeter was very friendly and our server was super nice and pleasant to have as a waiter. His recommendations were spot on. The whole restaurant was hopping busy but operating very smoothly. Not a quiet place, a true sports bar ambiance. The wings were very very good. Maybe some of the better ones I've had here in town. The gyro was fantastic, and huge. Great value. The wife's flatbread was great too. Excellent food all the way around. Prices for very reasonable. Happy hour helps some of the prices for sure, but still a well priced establishment. We are fans of this place and will most certainly be back.

Pale ales are usually not my choice but it was worth a try. I ended up ordering 3 before we left. For food each ordered 2 tacos each a la carte. I ordered one grilled shrimp taco and one blackened chicken taco. My friend ordered one fish taco and shrimp taco. We ordered 1/2 order of the jumbo pretzel appetizer which came with one jumbo pretzel, queso, and nacho chips. The queso had a good amount of heat. The pretzel was soft and not too much salt.

We snagged a spot near the back. The waiter was quick to take our drink requests. He came back soon and I asked his recommendations. He sold me on a omelet and my girlfriend got french toast My girlfriend sold me on the Taps potatoes. I haven't had potatoes like that. Almost cut like potatoes chip but then fluffy and fried. Not over crunchy and not to heavy. The make to order omelet was good to. For some reason they left the bacon out but I just tossed it on top with the avacado I was craving. The TVs were on but not to loud yet. There was some football playing later in the afternoon but it wasn't game time yet Music played as we sat and chatted. The food was good. My friend really liked her French toast and black tea. I'm glad I made it out for breakfast. The staff was friendly the whole time. Completely affordable breakfast for us two ladies. I think I want to come back and do this again.

Staff was hostile and abusive to me and my wife all the way out the door. I was outside while my wife stayed at the front desk to try to smooth things over, and the staff yelled at me outside, on the public street, threatening me and my wife who was still inside. I insisted on collecting my wife and leaving. All I asked was an acknowledgement that the staff was out of line escalating the situation when we were trying to leave peaceably and had already exited the door. I tried calling after we left to at least collect a simple courteous explanation, but the staff yelled at me and hung up three times. Then the restaurant owner called me, and boy can I tell where the problem is! He also yelled at me and threatened me for nothing while claiming I'd attempted to assault his staff. I never even raised my voice, never got a word in edgewise. Currently the owner is on social media trying to slander me. He keeps changing his story too, saying I assaulted first the hostess and then the server. Video footage is on my side and will be subpoenaed as evidence if necessary. Since the entire staff wants to keep escalating and escalating this situation all night long and into morning, I'm fighting back. I was insulted, harassed, and discriminated against, just because I tried to eat dinner. All Felix and Oscars' owner need do is simply apologize and I'd consider the matter settled.
