    Bourbon chicken and mashed potatoes
    Kelli T.

    Me and the family dined at our local Applebees and it was ok. My bourbon chicken and shrimp were good , however it was painfully obvious that our broccoli and cheese & mashed potatoes had been microwaved on high. Andre our server was friendly enough, but not as attentive as I'd like. We had to wait on water several times and parts of our order were forgotten too. Maybe Om just used to fine dining and I have unrealistic expectations for Applebees. I'll give em another chance soon.

    My friend and I were in the area and they wanted to stop because they heard the tv ads for 2 for $20. I don't usually stop at Applebee's since a lot of the food has a high calorie and sodium content but I figured whatevs since it's only a once in a while stop. I checked In on the yelp app and I was given a free appetizer upon each check in which was nice! I went with the sirloin steak, garlic mashed potatoes, bacon Mac and cheese and a house salad with Caesar dressing and for the appetizer I went with the boneless honey barbecue wings. They give you a lot of food!!! Everything was good, the chicken on the wings was tender but the wings have a bit too much breading for my taste. The salad was good as was the garlic mashed potatoes. The bacon Mac and cheese was decent though it didn't have a lot of flavor. The sirloin wasn't all that juicy but it was about what I was expecting. For $10 bucks you can't really beat the food if you go in expecting it to be an average meal.

    Great service, good food and good times. Atmosphere it's pretty calm definitely great

    Martha is the best most amazing most best waitress in the world. Service was immaculate. My cheese in my dip was well melted. I tried shrimp for the first time #LostMyShrimpVirginity. Martha made me feel like a new woman, like a natural woman. Currently my family is paying for my funeral because I died and went to heaven eating their food here, Martha is invited. Martha is the OG and doing the eulogy. I will never forget Martha and my experience with her. My friends are cool too. If you're the boss reading this thank you for the brownie bite :) for anyone else reading this I recommend this place thank you. Go there and spend a lot of money. Oh and tell Martha she's great

    I was already fearful of this place seeing that they only have a 2 star here on Yelp. Gulp…read more My department settled on a team outing this week here, team building of sorts. We came to eat some apps, "football bowling, do some axe throwing too. We had reservations for our department from 2-4pm. It kind of looks like an office building. Then again I guess it doesn't matter what the exterior looks like. I ordered the blackened honey glazed salmon on the Michigan salad with no blue cheese and balsamic dressing instead. The Michigan salad is made with iceberg lettuce, blech. The first salad came with blue cheese atop it, gave it to another colleague. The salad was sub-bar, would be better with mixed greens, the dressing is definitely not balsamic, it tastes super sweet and syrupy, like the raspberry vinaigrette. The blackened salmon is good at least. We ordered cheese bread, nachos and hummus for some shareables. The nachos and hummus weren't too bad. One of my colleagues got the BBQ chicken wrap and liked it well, came with the sweet potato fries. Our waitress, never got her name, was great to our department team. The blackened salmon is really good. They should put that on the menu. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing is a little too sweet, too sweet. The service here was definitely a four, but the food was a three for me.

It was full of customers and had a bridal event and memorial at the same time as having almost full capacity inside. Wait staff was new and being trained and attentive. I ordered the ahi tuna salad and my friend the vegetable burger. Good portions- HUGE for salad. Reasonable beer menu- not extensive but maybe just right. Quick even though obviously busy. Large parking lot and really a maze of rooms available inside. Staff not mask wearing. More for your situational awareness than anything. Not a lot of veg options- didn't see any vegan- and could be wrong about that. A lot of cheese and meat, some fish. Good that we had was good. It's a bit out of the way for me and will keep it in mind.

The place is huge: dining rooms, private room, large bar area with many TVs, a stage and dance floor area, plus an outdoor patio which is enclosed for all year round use. It is usually very busy and therefore very loud especially in the bar/TV area. The menu has lots of options including for restricted diet which I appreciate being gluten free. The portions are large, you get your money's worth, even if the food itself is not super imaginative. The salads are my favorite, and are large enough to share. The Chop salad with steak and shrimp is very filling. The Greek with chicken actually comes with a good amount of toppings, not just a single beet or pepperoncini pepper on top. The service is always great and staff is friendly and accommodating. Splitting bills even for a large group is not an issue. If you're there on a weekend night for the live music, the dance floor area can get packed. The crowd and vibe depends on which band and music genre is playing. Overall it's usually a good night out, not a lot of places where you can get dinner and dance in the same location.

But this place was almost completely empty. We came on a Saturday night during the basketball finals. You would have thought a sports bar with TVs all over with the game on would have had a crowd of people. Honestly, we had a big party of 14 but I only saw one more table of people in the entire place. That tells me they are not doing enough to promote and pull in people. They are in a prime spot at what should be a busy strip mall. When I go to CAVA nearby, they typically have a line out the door with a depleted food supply due to so many customers. This place should be the same or they will not make it here. Looking at the Yelp pictures and their images I knew exactly how this place would be and I was correct. Their food seems like Gordon Food Service or Sysco, not house made. It was like Ram's Horn or Leo's food trying to be a sports bar restaurant. The prices were fine, could have been better. I had the mermaid water cocktail. That was a good price, and tasted pretty good but was not great. We also had a Rochester Red and Yueling beer which was very nice and the prices were not too bad for the beer. I had a Georgia Reuben which they just labeled as a turkey Reuben. It came with chips but I upgraded to fries. I asked for extra crispy fries, but they were extra soggy. The ranch was good. the sandwich was actually good, the bread was crispy and the turkey was nice, but it did taste like something I get at a Coney. It also stated on the menu that the meat was stacked high, and literally it was one layer of meat. A deli would have been more worth it. My husband got their burger which also came with chips. He opted for an even higher upcharge for sweet potato waffle fries. They were good but not worth the amount they charged. The burger was tasty and had a nice char, but paying about $70 for a couple drinks and a couple sandwiches that were not memorable is not ideal. We came with a large group of people and many voiced a similar opinion and did not want to meet here again. I hope Joe's takes note since in order to do well they will need to pull in large parties to sustain their business. For myself, I would meet friends again if they asked, but I would not necessarily bring the family back for a meal.

Got two cocktails and they were good but not very strong and again nothing to go crazy about. But hey, this could be just me because it certainly was packed. However, this is one I can check off the list as having gone but not one I need to go back to.
