When you step through the door of the restaurant your first time, you are transported into a world unlike any other. The low light of the restaurant casts shadows on the knick-knacks adorning the walls, and the translucent hum of the various screens through the restaurant create a sort of ethereal presence in the restaurant.

Right off the bat, you know you are in for a dining experience like no other.

"Welcome to Applebees!" a cheerful host says to you. "How many are in your party?" You hold up two fingers. "Right this way!" She responds. As you walk to your table, you wonder how she can deal with so many customers, yet remain so chipper, but shrug it off as another wonderful mystery caused by the splendor of Applebees.

The waitress takes your drink order and for a moment, your head is spinning. Do you want a soda? Do you want iced tea? You look at the drink menu and you see a litany of alcohol beverages you have only dreamed about - Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Light...

The waitress offers a helpful suggestion of an Oreo Shake, and you say that sounds great. She asks if you'd like a round of water for the table as well. You smile. This is the kind of attention to detail that you expect from Michelin Star rated restaurants, not a Neighborhood Bar & Grill!

As the waitress goes to fetch your shake, you peruse the menu. The pages are jam-packed with the names of delicacies that you can only imagine. Fiesta Lime Chicken? Shrimp N' Parmesan Sirloin? You shift in your seat; you suddenly feel very self-aware that you do not belong in this restaurant. Your palatte does not feel sophisticated enough for these cuisines, and you worry that you will not do these delicacies justice when you enjoy them.

Just at this moment, the waitress comes to your table and all your fears are dissuaded. You order the Chicken Tenders Platter (a local favorite). You take a sip from your Oreo Shake and breath a sigh of relief as liquified Oreos slide down your throat. You lean back in your booth and relax.

Suddenly, you hear a chorus of heavenly voices rise from behind you. You turn around to see all of the Applebees wait staff coming towards you, singing and clapping their hands. "Happy happy birthday, from Applebees to you," they cheer. "We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too, hey!"

As soon as they arrived, the employees scatter, leaving you to dwell on the beauty of it all; the fact that Applebees treats you with such precise, special attention, the five-star cuisine, the exotic decor, and the fact that the wait staff is so eager to share in your special moments with you.

It's not so much a malicious thing. Most of them don't have $20 for lunch. Blame fast food dollar menus and $5 pizzas.

Not long ago Mrs. DevsBro and I went into an Applebee's, got seated, smelled cigarette smoke, looked at the table next to us and found the source, stood up and left.

It was weird; it was the first cigarette I had seen in a restaurant in probably 17-20 years.

I read that all, too.. and imagined it happening.

Unfortunately though, the last time I was at Applebees it was not so great. The server was high and had an attitude. And the food was crappy.

Maybe I'll give them another shot sometime, though. Really inspiring read... >_>

One time they took literally ten minutes to get my soda refill. It wasn't even busy that day.


at most 3 maybe 4 mins if not busy.... and Tip is highly influenced on service. get more if do at least 4 stars. leaving it at 3 because they took too long. that Tip is going to get docked.

There was one in my city that I ate at a few times, but it's kinda pricy. The place is gone now, though. Not sure how widespread Applebees was or is in general in Canada.
