I have tried most of the items on the menu, and i have never had to send anything back, or failed to eat. I enjoy the boneless wings. They are very tatsty and usually are pretty good size.

This Applebees is lazy-person-walking-distance from a Tesla Supercharger, so it's awesome. Any time…read moreI'm passing through Lima, I stop at that charger, and there are lots of food options, and Applebees is one of them. People like to give Applebees a hard time because they don't make it fresh in the restaurant or something like that. Like they just reheat stuff they get from corporate. I don't care. It's Applebees. I didn't come here because I thought it was gourmet food - I came here because I know what an Applebees is like and I can just chill out while I charge and feed the family. They've got chicken fingers and asian chicken salads and burgers and beer and stuff like that. American food. At your Neighborhood Applebees. Exactly what you expect if you've EVER been to an Applebees in your life. The music is good. 90s-to-modern stuff that's a little grunge, which is where Applebees knows they are. The staff are friendly. The place is 'clean'. The location is good and the parking is easy.

There's a…read morediner menu letter board up on the wall, yellow with age, announcing the flavors of milkshakes and ice cream. It's from the 60s and probably hasn't changed since they put it up 65 years ago. There's a whiteboard on the back wall with the special for the day written out. Bacon egg and cheese omelette or a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on toast. Five dollars. The kind of place with a few locals sitting at a booth having their morning coffee, one of the waitresses offering Jim the last donut because they know he will want it. He accepts it. This is, in my mind, a classic American small town diner. The kind of place I grew up, eating in my hometown of 500 people. It's not high cuisine, there's nothing fancy about the food although I did come across a few things I had never seen before on the menu. Fried mush. Meat grits specials, like the scuttle butt and the chili Bob. An age old, but perfected recipe of eggs, meat, cheese, and a starch either potatoes ( homefries) or toast. The coffee is weak and not much flavor to it but, to be honest, it's exactly what you would expect in a place like this and there's something comforting about that. Honest, simple food made day and a day out, catering to the local crowd and a few roadway, travelers like myself who happen to come across it. There's a certain charm and depth to places like this that have been lived in day and day out by the same people for decades. For those like up rounded, there's the nostalgia and connection to the many other people having the same experience day after day in communities across the United States. Forgive me if I wax nostalgia can get a little sentimental here, but this morning's dining experience definitely elicited that for me. I hope you can find your own version of this sometime today or in the near future.

The home fries are the standout, perfectly seasoned with that elusive, golden-crisp exterior and a fluffy, tender center.

Accompanied by eggs cooked exactly to order and savory, juicy sausage patties, every element on the plate works in harmony.
