text: I hate to say this, but I have eaten meals at Applebee's that were better than the two times I have been here.  We went yesterday and while I do enjoy the atmosphere, that is about it.  The first time we went a few months ago, we thought it was just okay too, but not bad enough to post a review, but also not good enough either.  The items we have tried thus far:\nFireball whiskey wings - not spicy at all, but i did like the lollipop style presentation.\nCarne asada tacos - no flavor to the meat at all.  Salsa bland as well.\nBBQ burger -  WAY better and much cheaper at Bobby's Burger Palace.\nBig Dipper roast beef sandwich - NO FLAVOR AT ALL!  No horseradish taste and the au jus tasted like canned beef broth.  Also, horribly tough meat that tasted faintly like smoke and the bread hardened up immediately as if microwaved.\n\nBoth the above had an assortment of different fries tossed together that would have been good had they not tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp.\n\nNow mind you, nothing at all between the meats and the fries on both visits tasted like they had been hit with any seasoning at all. I am very surprised at the bland fast food quality for the prices they charge.  Guy always seems to be about flavor and nothing has it!!  I am a local and love his shows, which is why I gave him a second chance to begin with.  The restaurant seems to be about style only, not food and not service.\n\nNow, add to the fact that we had a snarky wannabe comedian for a waiter, who only came back to see if we wanted another drink after my husband was already done! Will not be back!!
