    Seared salmon with spaghetti squash
    Gary M.

    We've dined here twice in the past year while traveling on I-95. It's right off Exit 94. If you are coming from the northbound lanes, ignore all the signs for other restaurants, cross the highway at the light off the exit ramp then turn right on the access road heading towards Cracker Barrel and you'll soon find Houlihan's on the left. (If you turn right at the light, like I did twice, it's miles and miles before you can make a U-turn.) We had a terrific lunch this week. The pan-fried pork dumplings were some of the best dumplings we've ever been served! The chicken tortilla soup was also delicious. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her seared salmon served over spaghetti squash with pesto sauce and a tomato concasse. I opted for the tuscan white bean salad. It was plated artistically (as was the salmon) and was quite sufficient as a meal even though it was intended as a side dish. The "Tuscan toast" with which it was served was rock hard, so I crumbled the pieces over the salad the best I could to serve as croutons. Our server was Vanna and she was attentive and sweet as pie! One criticism: There was an employee at the bar who was on the phone for the entire time we were at the restaurant. I don't know how any of the bar customers got served by her because her back was to everyone seated at the bar.

    Nice Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, my fave!

    I was blown away! Normally I don't review chains, but here I'll make an exception. On this night Houlihan's was exceptional. I sat at the bar, since I was dining for one! The lady next to me had the most amazing grilled scallop dish and when she told me it was amazing, well I just had to order!!! Scallops over bed of Asparagus Risotto with Arugula Salad with Olive Oil! Paired with Kendall Jackson Chardonnay this was a 5-star meal! So GOOD!!!

    Salmon on spaghetti squash

    Stopped in for an afternoon lunch for a crab cake sandwich but looks like that's not on the menu anymore. So I got the salmon on spaghetti squash and it was amazing! Glad I got something different.

    Place was filthy , floor were sticky , dust on every lamp, waitress didn't check on us , the food omg gross and clearly spoiled chicken. My partner burger dry and look like a hockey puck.

    Needed a lunch break after departing our camp area in Georgia as we make our way to Ohio. We were unsure of exactly where to stop, the reviews on yelp helped us decide. Very clean and well kept restaurant. Our server was exceptionally quick and professionally charming. I decided to try their fish and chips while my wife wanted something a little bit lighter so she ordered their Caesar salad and chips and salsa. Our food came out relatively quickly. I forgot to mention that we didn't order adult beverages as well. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of those. My fish and chips were absolutely delicious! I thought the tart sauce they made from scratch was exceptionally yummy. My wife's Caesar salad was extremely good. The only down check of our visit was the flavor of the salsa. Not really sure but it seemed to be overly sweet.

    We tried coming here twice. Here's what happened. 1st time: the grill was down, so we couldn't order my steak salad or ribs. The order arrived at 2 different times. I received my Asian lettuce wrap after my fiancé food was almost finished. I cancelled the crème brûlée order due to the timing and just wanted to leave at this point. The waitress was very good in trying to help us chose something else. They comped us for one of the meals and comped us anyway for the dessert. No complaints here. So we waited a few days to give them another try. 2nd try: 2-3 days later, we called and confirmed the grill was up and running. We told the waitress what happened to us the first time. Then she took our orders, but unfortunately, they just ran out of ribs. The very reason we returned. So my fiancé ordered a French onion soup and I got my steak salad. The soup - the bread was too mushy- wondered if they used baguette bread or not? The cheese was a bit rubbery. Steak salad- I know it was a wedge salad and I ordered it w dressing on the side BUT the presentation of the ingredients on my plate was simple unappetizing. The ingredients were not somehow tied all together. It just seemed out on a plate with no thought to it, imo. The steak had nice flavor but a bit too much grissle in it so I really could not chew it. I liked the polenta bread crumbs that came with it. In both cases the fried mushrooms were excellent! But unfortunately, we just had a not do great experience at this location. So we may be hesitant next time.

    Ahi tuna salad
    Rodger S.

    We had a disappointing dinner here tonight, My ahi tuna salad wasn't very good. The tuna was tasteless. The rest of the salad was OK but very bland. If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered the seared salmon salad. My husband's shrimp pasta was't good either. It eas described on the menu as being light, but it turned out to heavy. The decor of the restaurant was pleasant.

    Chicken tenders, fries, and side of ranch.

Our waitress forgot to put our order in, so we ended up sitting there for over two hours waiting for food. Throughout the evening she would disappear for long periods of time, making it difficult to get any updates or assistance. When the meal finally started coming out, it arrived in stages instead of together. Sides didn't show up until we were nearly finished with our entrées, which made the whole experience feel very disorganized. We also ordered a beer and had to remind her about it because it never came. By the time it finally arrived, there really wasn't an opportunity to order another one. To make matters worse, the fried shrimp and scallops were over-breaded and disappointing. The corn was completely tasteless and added nothing to the meal. For a place that advertises seafood, (and Pricey $$$) we expected much better quality. Between the long wait, the poorly timed service, the lack of attention, and the underwhelming food, the entire dinner was frustrating. Sadly, this was not the experience we hoped for, and we won't be returning.

It smells better and the service is top-notch. I would almost bet that my server came down from corporate. She was very pretty and very attentive and was taking care of five tables at once and did not ever break a sweat or miss a beat. She was very very very effective. Now owned to the review of the food. In honor of the restaurants, new management and new staff and total new attitude I decided I would try to new menu items. One of them is the pickles spears fried just like you know fried pickles, but they cut them long and made them in the shape of french fries and season them with Tajin. They come with a queso sort of dressing and let me tell you it is top notch. It was really really good. Mine came out blistering hot which means they had just come out of the fryer, which is the only way they would be any good the delicious dill pickle flavor is inside of a crunchy shell of some sort of breading, the Taheen is dusted over it and the spicy dressings for dipping, I saved some of the dipping sauce for my french fries, which came out next with my burger that was cut in half and sitting in a pool of multi cheese. I can't remember what they call the darn thing but the picture of it will be in my review. The burger was your basic really good burger with some honey mustard sauce on it Which sounded peculiar when I ordered it, but it's exactly what it needed. My only suggestion is that they put the cheese on top of the fries not under them I know that's not part of the description on the menu, but it would've been appreciated because then you would've got cheesy fries with your cheesy grilled cheese hamburger floating in a puddle of cheese yeah I know if you don't like cheese don't order this OK That would be my one instruction. I washed all of mine down with a Dr Pepper. It was really good. Everything was delightful. I mean you gotta consider that it is in Applebee's, with all that that suggests, but this one has gone through a rebirth and is much better than I remember from say three or four months ago when I ate here last. The main reason I eat here is because I stay at the Hampton Inn that is exactly 100 yards behind it and an easy walk across the parking lot and I don't have to go anywhere. Although I didn't notice there's a ruby Tuesday across the road that I may have to try next time. Value for a dollar check good food check not particularly exciting food but something you won't get anywhere else for sure I mean, who else is making fried dill pickles spears with Tahin dust on them..

Server was pleasant and initially attentive in drink refills until I had to leave my booth and walk over to the other side of the restaurant where several servers had gathered and were talking and I asked for a tea refill. A couple of the servers, as well as my server, promptly stood up from the table area where they had gathered and offered to refill my drink. My original server, which had the word "Expert" on her red shirt and appeared to be one that trains new employees, did take my glass while I walked back to my booth and she brought the refill quickly to me. The food was at the proper temperature and was very tasteful! At the conclusion of the meal my server delivered the check/bill to my table which totaled $29.08 and I paid with a $50 bill (the only cash I had with me at the time), with the correct change of $20.92 being returned to me. I was a little disappointed in that when the server returned with my change she provided a $20 bill along with $0.92 in change. Anyone want to take a guess if I left the $20 bill for a $29.08 check/bill? Nope, not me. Maybe I'm wrong and just not with the times but does someone typically leave a $20 bill as a tip for a $29.08 meal? Again, restaurant was not busy, there was a bar nearby in the restaurant, shouldn't the server had tried to break up the $20 bill in smaller denominations? I'll probably return in the future but will probably either use a credit card or make sure I have more smaller types of cash currency with me.
