    Stopped by Applebees in Forestville, MD for a late lunch/early dinner. When we arrived the place was almost empty with only a few patrons. Since it was slow the Service was Friendly and Fast to our Delight. The drinks and appetizers arrived quickly and both were Delicious and Refreshing. The entrees followed up shortly afterwards and both our entrees were Hot and Delicious . I was Really Impressed this time around, because in the past I've had a few issues with service at this location, but not today. Thanks Again Applebee's in Forestville, we will Definitely be back Soon!!!

    What the pic looks like.

    I asked to separate the plates for brownie bite. Was told she'd have to make it to go. I pointed to cake pic to show the scoop size & got the cake. I've been getting them since it was $1.99. It's now $3.49 & less icecream. I was given what's shown on this pic. Cold fudge & nuts. Manager made it over but argued about the pic. Does pic 1 look like pic 2 even in 2 separate plates?

    This location by far, has the most un-professional ill mannered untrained staff I've ever been subjected to. I visited this location for dinner twice within the last week and have not eaten a bite of food from them. On 2/13/25, My bf and I visited this location and again on Monday 2/17/25, arriving around 8p on both days. On 2/13/25 we were sat by a hostess and that's about the sum it. We waited over 23 minutes and no one ever acknowledged that we were sitting there. Servers walked back and forth averting their eyesight from the large corner both where the two of us were sitting. At the 25 minute mark we left and went to another restaurant. On 2/17/25 my bf arrived at 8:05p and I arrived at 8:12p. By 8:20p no one had come to the table so I stopped a person that appeared to work there and asked if she would send the server over? About 5 minutes after that a young female approached the table, ( I later find out her name), although she did not introduce herself at that time. she immediately asked if we had any drink orders? I then replied "yes and I would like an order of buffalo wings with ranch dressing" My BF then proceeded to ask her, "what flavors of margaritas do you have?" She ran down flavors like mango, passion fruit, strawberry. When she got to strawberry, my BF interrupted her and said, "I'll get the strawberry margarita" and I said "make that two." She left the table and walked about two steps, turned around and said, "you want boneless right?" I replied and said "No bone in." She turns around and continues on her way. About 10 minutes later, she comes back to the table with two light yellowish drinks, sets them down and says, "I'll come back to take your order." I stopped her and asked what flavor margarita was in front of us and she replied, "passion fruit." I replied , "I'm sorry , but this is not what we ordered." She quickly responded, "yes it is!" and "well we don't have strawberry anyway!" There was another issue with the order. I attached what I tried to order in person like I did online . It's too negative for yelp so we'll skip ahead. I asked another server to get the manager When the manager, came out he greeted us , introduced himself and asked how he could help us? Within seconds of my bf and I beginning to explain that we had an issue with the server and overall customer service in that particular location the server walked by and overheard me saying "I don't know her name but we were sitting......" before I could begin to point to where we were sitting, she interjected and said, ". My name is ____!" Further illustrating her lack of professionalism. He heard us out, but then defended her by offering a reason for her misunderstanding my order, by showing me something on the backside of the menu. I contended with the fact that I was pointing to the menu item when I was ordering, So overall less than 1 star if I could, this is why people go across the bridge to VA or go to DC. Unprofessionalism at its finest!

    It was just a quick visit on an extremely rainy day. This location smells like mold and dirty. I believe it is a very old establishment and needs lots of upgrade to be made. Our waiter was not knowledgeable and didn't make any effort in responding to our questions when asked about the drinks from the bar (ya'll lost out on us buying some drinks). The selection of food on the menu is varied however we chose the "all you can eat" for $14.99 promo that basically is an overload of carbs with unlimited fries, breaded shrimps, breaded boneless wings and very saucy riblets. The downfall is that you can not order more than one protein at a time this creating a problem when the waiter is not constantly coming to your table to place more of the orders. The whole thing was messy and have no plan on returning to this establishment any time soon. The only thing I can say is, the fries where freshly made!

    "Why did it have to snow tonight?! We're stuck in this hospital...when we should be following that…read moremonster's trail," Roberto DaCosta (Sunspot) shook with anger as he expressed a desire to seek revenge against who or what attacked their teammate, Danielle Moonstar, leaving her on an operating table on the brink of death. "Waste o' time, Bobby, you won't find the critter there," Sam Guthrie (Cannonball), the oldest of the teenagers that make up the New Mutants, responded, "It'll be here." "What are you talking about, Sam? Explain yourself!" "Stands t' reason, ever since we've known her, Dani's had a special fear of a spirit bear she said murdered her parents. None of us really really gave the story much credit, after all who believes in magic?" Sam paused oh so slightly before continuing. " 'Cept Illyana's a real witch, an' we fought demons and sorceresses. Maybe Dani wasn't kidding." Sam shifted his tone to reveal his evidence. "Illyana tells me Dani spent the last week or so in the Danger Room fighting bears! T'night, she walked out into a [winter] storm, alone, armed with a bow an' arrows an' wearing war paint! And got mauled. We were wrong t' doubt her. We should'a listened, we should'a seen the signs." Whenever my wife and I visit a restaurant or bar for the first time, whether we are there by ourselves or--in this case--treated to a meal by our favorite neighbors--I can count on her to sort through, heed, and pick up on every nuance in every aspect of culinary service that is there to be sensed. In this case, at the Dockside Restaurant & Sports Bar at 421 Deale Road in Maryland, the food was mostly wonderful, and the prices were more than reasonable for this economy. What prevents Dockside from receiving at least four stars was primarily the service. Two orders of fries, one sweet potato and one regular, weren't hot; and although our waitress reluctantly brought one of the orders back to exchange it for a new batch, the fries didn't taste any warmer. Our other host ordered his crabcake lightly-fried, only for it to be brought out broiled. He still enjoyed it, but it wasn't exactly what he wanted or ordered. By the end of the meal, it became obvious that, if we return, we need to ask for Sarah, who, although she was tending the bar and wasn't even our waitress, still brought one of our neighbors a fresh cup of Pepsi Zero that she could take on our return trip home. Sarah also exhibited a great sense of humor, an attentiveness and an attention to detail, and, most importantly, remembered with pleasure our hosts, who have dined there frequently. Apart from the pumpkin cheesecake, which was so infused with nutmeg and pumpkin spice that even Linus from Peanuts couldn't have tasted the pumpkin, and the lukewarm fries, our meals were terrific. I devoured the perfectly-seasoned shrimp from the fried shrimp platter; everyone loved their onion rings and their cream of crab and Maryland crab soups; and we all agreed that the crabcakes, boiled and fried, were scrumptious.

Based on my previous experience, I didn't really know how it would be or if I would enjoy myself, but I want it to be open and give it a chance. There was a DJ, and since the last time I came, the booth moved! The afro beats were going strong. It was pretty busy in there, but there was space to sit at the bar. We just got a round of rails and we're satisfied for the night. The Vibes were pretty awesome and both the patrons and the staff were very nice. Now, if I ever want to go anywhere randomly late at night, I can get here in 10 minutes. I should give the food another shot. I wonder if it is improved over time?

The ambiance just felt off. It was bit dark, a bit unkempt, and the crowd was...interesting. Not the vibe we were going for at all. There's a small pool hall attached, which could be a plus for some, but it didn't really change my overall impression of the space. We stayed for maybe five minutes max before deciding to leave. As soft life luxury girls, we knew this just wasn't our scene. Because of that, I can't speak on the food or service, but first impressions matter and this one didn't land for me.
