after a doctor appointment, last week in an Applebee's. We should have walked out when stepping in the door we were hit with the smell of dirty mop water. They were not busy for months, it looks like they would have had time to clean the place up. They were so thinly staffed that the busy bartender was also waiting and bussing tables, service was slow and the food was awful. But other than that, it was a wonderful experience. I expect to return in about never.
