"Friends had given us a gift card, for my Birthday. We hadn't been there for quite a long time, but it was worth it. Just a little menu shock, prices were a little more than what we expected, since the last time we went there 5 yrs ago. Instead of up to $10, price's were $10-$20 for most item's. Our waiter was very understanding, knew that we had a budget and we had come there w/a gift card to celebrate my Birthday. He didn't have to, but just the same, gave us another coupon for 40% off our bill.My wife enjoyed her Broccoli Grilled Chicken Alfredo, fairly large Sierra Mist, and I enjoyed the Prime Rib Hoagie w/Beef Au Jus, Seasoned Cut Fries, and the Coor's On-Tap 16oz Beer. If you wanted Water, they'd give it to you, no extra charge. They had at least 5 or 6 Beer's On-Tap, popular during the year. Just NOT Seasonal or Micro Brewed flavored Beer. So those are out; to bad, it would've made Dinner Perfect. They do have Seasonal Burger's and Cocktail's, so it's not a total waste of your money. Plus, they have 2 for one Special's for those who want to keep within Budget. We usually get them, normally, but it was my Birthday. My wife wanted to splurge a little; otherwise, we would've got those item's. I wanted to thank our waiter for all that he did for us, on my Birthday. I just hope it was enough for his time. Thank-you Applebees, John and Peggy.Kid-friendliness: They had a lot of children there, and teenagers too. It seemed kid's enjoyed there time there, from their food to watching Cable TV to the delicious desserts there."
