We asked to move tables and ended up on the patio which wasn't much better since the tables were dirty with caked on ketchup and wobbly. We had to go in to ask to get more water and the bill in order to pay to leave. The food was horrible. Onion rings were probably precooked and sat under a heat lamp..not good. The boneless wings were nugget shaped and some mostly breading and hard. The highlight was the celery and dip. I suspect this restaurant will eventually close too like so many others which is sad since this is a small town on an interstate.

I came to Mount Vernon that four day weekend to celebrate two lives. The first lasted 97 years,…read morethe most positive energy you can imagine, and I will call her AJ. The second life celebrated was my own, an annual self-celebration by an everyday-self-centered man. The solo party began around 11 a.m. in the Doubletree parking lot across the street. Is there any truth to the idea that you cannot get a DUI drinking in a parked car if the keys are outside on the ground? Fortunately I did not find out. By the time I finished the second beer the edibles were starting to kick in pretty hard on an empty stomach. I next walked to BW3, enjoying a couple more beers and a street tacos app before returning to the sunny sidewalk that led to my ultimate destination at 105 Potomac Boulevard. I had read all the negative reviews. Melissa H., I understand your family waited 15 minutes to be seated, 30 minutes to get appetizers then 30 minutes to get your entrees. Landon M., your food took so long. Taaylor H., 30 minute wait for salad. Pamela H., your salads did not come out before the entrees. Rod H. had an extra 10 minutes over his promised 20 minute pickup time before his carryout order was ready. Savannah P. got unwrapped silverware brought to her in a bowl, Jaylee M. waited half an hour for a side of mayo. Gilbert L. had a 20 minute wait for drinks, 40 minutes for food, and 10 minutes for someone to take his money before giving up and paying at the bar. Megan H. did not get the birthday serenade her young daughter was expecting. KB never made it inside due to the cigarette smoking outside the restaurant. Bob P. had to ask for drink refills rather than having them brought to him unbidden. DS had to wait 5 minutes for a menu then 20 minutes for a bowl of soup. Kimberly B. got her free kids meals but never got the adult meals so left $2.00 after an hour and 20 minutes elapsed. Kelli G. walked out after no one seated her in the first 5 minutes. Melvin A. suffered not one but two overcooked steaks. Tish M. regretted not going to McDonald's after her takeout bacon cheeseburger turned out to be baconless and undercooked. After being told his favorite item was no longer on the 2 for $20 menu Nick F. only wanted one thing, no tomato on his pasta, but his wish was ignored. Bob Y. received no greeting from his server and was only comped his soft drink and cold artichoke dip after waiting over an hour and complaining to the manager. Michael P. got 1.333333 unchewable steaks and 0.666666 chewable steak for the price of 1 chewable steak. Ming S. was disappointed by the look of the cedar salmon. Doug D. felt that the boneless wings tasted microwaved. Abby M. was never offered a drink refill. Donna F. had to ask twice for a staff rendition of Happy Birthday and five times for a doggy bag. Barb K. waited 10 minutes to be served before realizing the next table over (that came in after her) was being helped first, which inspired a hasty exit. Sam B. was disturbed by offensive karaoke lyrics while trying to enjoy some pretzel sticks. Judy E. considered the grease level in the burger to be above an acceptable amount. Sonny S. had ringing ears from the slamming down of his plate on the table by the server. With these in mind I was prepared to wait, and would that be so bad? If I was back dining at the best pizzeria in Napoli or the most famous pho cafe in Ho Chi Minh City would I be counting the minutes? In Mount Vernon, Illinois I opted to seat myself at the bar. I saw people laughing, enjoying food and drinks on a Thursday afternoon. I thought to myself "We are too stuck in our minds on what is supposed to be instead of what is." So what if it took a while to place my order. I had Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to enjoy myself and reflect on AJ before her funeral Sunday. If it took 2 hours I can think of a million other things that would be worse than having to wait for someone to bring me something to put into my beak. It was at this moment Elton John on the speakers sang "and it's gonna be a long, long time" and I could not stop laughing. Maybe it was a long, long time, but my pretzel bites and double Bacardi and diet were just right. By the time I left that day to check in to the Doubletree across the street I knew that this restaurant in Mount Vernon, Illinois should be the first stop for anyone seeking true enlightenment. My journey is still just starting, but I will forever know where it began. On Sunday before AJ's funeral I came back for lunch, maybe a little sadder but the magic was still inside the Applebee's walls. I had the fried appetizer sampler and a cherry diet coke, in the same seat at the bar. On my last visit I had forgotten the gift card we received one Christmas, but this time I used it. When we first got the gift card I thought "Applebee's? Wow this person doesn't know us at all!" As it turned out they knew me all too well. 1.

The most enjoyable part of the dinner was the Blue Moon beer I ordered.

This place has undergone so many renovations and name changes over the years, but I think it's…read moreabout to take off. It's in a poor location, in the old part of town next to the high school. Parking can be a nuisance, but there is parking on the street, across the street in a lot as well as next to the building in another lot. The crowd here can be a little rough. I was outside waiting for a cab one night and someone approached me and said I was staring at him because he was hispanic. Then he pulled a knife out. I doubt this is typical, and the situation was rectified, but don't let your guard down here. The bar is a mixture of a pool hall, a dance club and a live music venue. In the first part of the place, there are pool tables, a long bar, seating and a dance floor. If you walk through that room and into the adjoined building, you'll notice they have built a room for concerts with a ton of seating and a bar inside there. So it's really two different bars in one. The bartenders are great, and the security staff is cool. It draws a mixture of crowds, and with MV being so limited in the nightlife, this place could be a real hit.

I ask for my drink to be corrected, and literally drank one drink out of it. "Oh she didn't know, she's new" was incredibly rude. It's my fault they served me the wrong vodka. Lisa asked me "what my fucking problem is, and what the fuck was I looking at?" Well considering there is no communication behind the bar, and someone directly next to me just got served Ketel One, and she's attacking me because "she didn't know", and just attended my 18 year old sisters funeral, not you. Has security take my full drink(and my only one)and walk me out of the bar. WOW. And Lisa is in customer service? I would like a refund.
