We were greeted right away. After we were seated, our server was over right away. Hunter was very helpful. The beer options are incredible and can be overwhelming. Hunter was really good with breaking the drink menu down. While beer isn't my thing, they cater to just about every taste. They even offer gluten free beer! Speaking of gluten free - they offer so many gluten free options. I opted for the lettuce wrapped double standard burger. It was delicious! It came between a head of iceberg lettuce (who needs a salad!). My boyfriend got the brisket burger and loved it! I tried a piece of the brisket and it was tasty. I should add, their prices points are reasonable too. All and all great atmosphere to dine in or catch a game - lots of tvs! Definitely worth checking out!

The tuna was good and I didn't hate the chips but it was a little bland for what you pay for it.

The Cajun Chicken Pasta was spicy, smoky, and totally hit the spot. Loved the kick! The Steak and breaded Shrimp combo was a winner - the steak was tender, the shrimp were plump and perfect. The combo dish with lobster, salmon, and shrimp (expensive but delicious). Lobster was fresh, buttery, like straight-up heaven. The Salmon was flaky, perfectly seasoned one of the best I have had. And the Shrimp with Rice Combo was simple but SO good. Our server was patient and friendly, and portions were generous. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits were got while we waited for our dishes were a highlight; they are basically the best part lol. The restaurant itself has lots of parking, which is a huge plus. Only thing was that the service got a little slow as we wrapped up, but it didn't kill the vibe. Overall, totally worth it. Next time, I am trying the Seafood boil, hmmm (already dreaming about it).

They play extreme sports clips and sporting games. At first the projector screen was closed, there were about four tables taken. When it became about six tables, they turned it on. Service was friendly, albeit slow. You do have to wave them down and keep a keen lookout for your server after they drop off your order. Our server didn't come by after the first drop off. It wasn't busy either, about four tables were taken. Wings with sauce on it are crispy and saucy at the same time, which is great. Good sized wings. Nachos were a show stopper. It's huge! They put a lot of salsa and sour cream on top of the nachos itself. Nicely baked nachos that can easily feed four people. Added the chicken on top and it was really small diced up chicken. Overall, a great ambiance, great tv and great food. The service can use some fine tuning.

Cesar salad to cool your tongue down, cold romain with house made dressing with just the right amount of anchovie for some light kick. Finished with fish and chips, light battered fillet atop a mound of fresh cut fries. Mac and cheese three with truffle oil and shallots. Flavor abounds! Fete du complete with their double chocolate brownie to end this flavor extravaganza. Wow....

When walking in - the small interior will throw you off but if the weathers right - the patio is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for affordable and something the kids will love. Service and food were top notch.

It had been 3 years since our last time doing this, and we didn't see the restaurant we previously had dinner at on the main street, so Mom suggested Applebee's, as she has been there before and enjoyed it. It wasn't very crowded when we arrived around 6 pm and it pretty much stayed that way while we were there. The venue is quite large and I noticed a TV, tuned to the 24 hr news station. Their A/C could definitely be felt and the service was quite prompt. I ordered their Shepherd's Pie w/Garden Salad (sans dressing), and I found both to be quite delicious and satisfying. I can reassuringly recommend Applebee's after my 1st visit, as I/we had no issues about anything while we were there.
