    I never expect great things from Applebee's, but for a quick late dinner that isn't from a burger drive thru, this can suffice. Not busy on a Tuesday evening so easy to get a table. Why they put us so close to the kitchen when other booths or regular tables were open I don't know. Hubby just had chicken tender platter. Nothing special. I usually like to try something a little less fried, so opted for shrimp broccoli cavatappi, in the new lower calorie category. Our server, Drew, was very nice. When he brought our meals he apologized for the delay. We didn't think it had been that long, but apparently it was. While DH's food was fine, mine had apparently sat for a bit. Minimal sauce to keep the calorie count down so dries out quickly, and sloppy presentation with bits of crusted broccoli scattered around the rim. Guess the microwave wasn't working and not stirred well because some parts were cold and others warm. I only ate half and brought the rest home. Other than being a bit too peppery, it tasted fine, broccoli was nice and crisp. Decent serving of shrimp. No complaints about the extra garlic.

    My son and Louisa.

Sadly seems to have gone down over the years and just did absolutely nothing for us when we went this time. We got the poutine against our better judgment and against the advice of other yelpers, absolutely should have listened. It was white cheddar cheese and white gravy over fries with two onion rings on top. I understand wanting to do a twist on a classic poutine but the twist is usually supposed to elevate the classic - not the case here. It was just okay and absolutely wouldn't get it again. It was salted well but it just looked unappetizing and was bland otherwise This next thing is my fault because why would I expect anything more after the extremely weird appetizer? I ordered a $11 garden salad and did the steak tips add on for $10. It was truly not bigger than side salad and came with three very tough steak tips. My husband got the chicken fried chicken for $19 which was nothing to write home about but wasn't as offensive as the salad. The most annoying thing was the plates! The mains were served on dessert sized melamine plates One bright spot was that our server Lindsay was excellent

Really pretty view, especially if you're looking to sit outside. We ended up at the bar, which was fine since we wanted the full bar experience. The vibe inside leans biker themed with an energetic but laid back atmosphere. TVs at the bar were showing sports and game shows, and even though it was mid afternoon and not super busy, there was a fun mix of people chatting and hanging out. Beer selection was decent, and the bartender recommended the buffalo chicken pizza. It took a little longer than expected to come out, but we didn't mind since we were enjoying our drinks. When it arrived, it was piping hot, cheesy, and flavorful. The buffalo sauce had just the right amount of kick without being overwhelming. My only wish: a bit more chicken on top. We also ordered a basket of fries, which looked like steak fries but were actually nicely crispy and had great texture. Perfect for snacking with drinks. Overall, this is a great casual spot for grabbing a beer and some solid bar food. Next time, I definitely want to sit out on the patio and enjoy that water view. I'll be back!

No din to shout over. Where's your "restaurant voice"? I ordered the "1/2 rack of ribs" for $28. One of our go to places charges $28 for a full rack (2 slabs). I received 6 individual ribs. Not a "Rack". The sauce was nothing special, just a commercial bottled product. Not "fall off the bone" tender either. I had to ask for extra napkins too. Most places bring them with the meal. The coleslaw was as tasty as the plastic container it came in. My Wife ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was cut up into small pieces and dry. She had to ask for extra dressing just to eat it. The dressing was just bottled and nothing special. Service was OK at best. Not impressed, won't be going back.

I had the pleasure of meeting a very cute dog who was celebrating his 18th birthday at the bar along with his two furry friends and their owners. Loved that the people at the bar were friendly and conversational even though I was a newcomer. We ordered some $5 Happy Hour cocktails, which were really great as they are made with brand name alcohol such as Stoli, Deep Eddy and Tangueray rather than no name alcohols from the well. Food happy hour specials were great too - The Waygu Beef Hotdog was served on a buttered and grilled roll and hot the spot. The fried pickles were good as well, although next time I'll ask for them extra crispy. Great place with friendly customers and employees, excellent service, and good food.
