A Bite Out of Applebee's

Last night I rediscovered Applebee's. It's very rare that i get to eat at this American chain restuarant beacause there ar e none in my neighborhood. It just felt good to go there and enjoy some of their dishes. There's so many diverse dishes that it's hard to choose.

Applebee's started in the 1980's in Altanta, Georgia when Bill and TJ Palmer opened ther first Applebbe's Rx for Edibles and Elixers. it wss then takne nationwide when the giant W.R. Grace bought it. I t was then franchised and in the 1990's went overseas to Germany and The Netherlands. They also introduced their Rio Grande chain at this time too. By the millennium the chain was now seen in the Mid East and Latin American. Everyone loves Applebees and why not? The steaks are phenomenal, cooked like you did it yourself and the sides are wonderful. I had steamed veggies and a nutty rice pilaf that I could have ask for seconds. The restaurant also has a wide range of chicken , fish and ribs too. Unfortunately I didn't have any of their decadent desserts I would have liked to tried their dessert shooter s where you can get strawberry cheescake, chocolate mouuse or an ice cream sundae in tiny, little shooter glasses. There's also an ice cream pie and a blondie sundae that look pretty wicked too.

Another aspect is that Applebee's serves good food at good prices. You can get a filling steak dinner like I did for only $15.49. There are also lunches that start at only $5.99 featuring chicken Ceasar salad or French dip roast beef. Another is the big 2 for 20 value meals where diners can choose one appetizer and two meals for just twenty bucks. There's also the kids' 99 cents meal and half price appetizers on certain nights

Do what I did last night .Take a huge bite out of Applebee's . If you haven't been in a while , revisit it to taste their wonderful dinners and save on their great deals. You'll be glad you did.
