I ordered a steak, broccoli and salad. The steak was a perfectly medium rare, very nicely seasoned and delicious! Broccoli was just steamed broccoli, but was still nice and crisp. Salad was small and the dressing was pretty bad. Asked for a different one and it wasn't much better. Very clearly food service bottled stuff. But really, that was the only glitch. Would for sure come back here if I'm in Sumter again.

The wait staff that served our table was simply one of the best I've seen in the industry. She was incredibly attentive and her work ethic showed attention to details. She was kind and generous. Always checked to insure our glasses were full and keep us abreast of our food readiness. When it was time for dessert she did not hesitate to get our request out quickly. We were a party of 12 and we were so happy and excited to have my sister's birthday celebration at our favorite spot.

Oh, sorry not tonight. Well let me try over here. Not my first, second, or even third choice but it will do and looks like a solid yes. Excuse me but I am curious are you about to get out of here? No, we are open. The answer given begrudgingly was like we are open but the expression is why are you here we trying to close early. Finally, I found a place that is still open even though it is Applebee's. Hey, the very last option is Waffle House and getting my food through a bullet resistant window. I mean come on you get desperate but not that desperate. So I have not been to an Applebee's in a very long time. I was thinking on a Friday night restaurants should be open until 11/12 PM. Oh I was proven so wrong as my first stop was another casual downing place we will call Silis that rejected me due to it being 1001 so pickings were slim. The last time I did go was because I somehow had a gift card for them. Also it was when they had those $1 drinks. You know it is bad when you sigh as you know what you are about to encounter ranging from customer service, food quality, and cleanliness. Once I was finally noticed at the bar the female came over to ask about a drink. So, I went with a LIT and she handed me a menu that was just wet. I looked over and I still think why did I spend the time on this menu and just went with the riblets to go. The LIT was ok. It was good but did not taste like a LIT. If you want it just for the liquor then you good to go but I do like flavor in my drinks. If someone was to give it to you I am sure you would not guess it was a LIT but it was still pretty ok. Now the secret is to know the bartender. Two of her friends came in and after seeing their drinks made I was like how are they going to drive. Then the drink had a sidecar of tequila to go with the copious amounts of tequila already poured in it. The riblets were ok just like the drink. Good thing is that I was given a good amount and the bbq sauce was a savior. Here is the issue. I get firing up the ribs to get a slight char before serving but the char was very uneven. It was on some of the ribs but not the others. Coleslaw was pretty good and the fries were nothing to write to Yelp about. Still I am here writing about it. What you see and the conversations of the employees here are something to listen to. You have no choice as loud as they are talking. Across from me was a long line of used cocktail glasses that trust me was not just put there. I hear some of the employees talking about how few glasses they have to serve at times and why are there so many cocktail glasses piling up tonight. In my mind the time you spent talking someone could have easily removed them all from the counter. Hey if you got time to lean you got time to clean. Especially behind that bar area. Not a very inviting thing to see especially if it happens to be a customer 's first time in this place. This is one of those situations where I am sure Applebee's knows they are one of the few selections so what's the point of doing better or turning the needle a little bit up on the give a damn meter.

Who knew a casual night at the bar could turn into such a great dining experience? We arrived 1…read morehour before closing on a Saturday and the restaurant was super packed. The hostess were friendly and accommodating. My husband and I decided to skip the wait for a table and grabbed seats at the bar, and honestly, it was the best choice we made all night. The bartender wasn't just pouring drinks, she was running the whole show with top-notch service, great conversation, and attention to detail that you don't always find in a chain restaurant. Our Margaritas were perfectly balanced. The Food orders were a little off but the kitchen corrected the issues right away. My husband was missing his rice for his shrimp skewer meal and his side dish. The food came out hot and it tasted good. What really stood out was how the bartender managed to make the bar feel like the friendliest spot in the house - checking in often, making us laugh, and keeping everything smooth even when things got busy. Outback is always reliable for steaks and comfort food, but when the service is this good, it makes the whole experience that much better. If you find yourself in Sumter, skip the wait for a table and grab a bar seat - you'll thank me later.
