  My father invited me to dinner on a Sunday night (tonight, to be exact) because my sister-in-law had given my dad gift cards for Applebee's for a belated Christmas gift.
  After waiting for more than 10 minutes and debating seating ourselves, we were finally greeted and I had informed the hostess that we would need non-bar seating. My dad then mentioned he would prefer a booth if possible. The hostess proceeded to seat us behind a large party (probably a 10-15 top). I asked her if we could sit elsewhere because it was very loud (as they were getting ready to leave) and there wasn't much room in for us to get in and out, and she moved us to the end of that section (which was fine). She took our drink order (2 waters) and told us that our server would be a few minutes because he had stepped out on break. She brought us back our drinks and as she got ready to set down my water, my napkin flew off the table and fell on the floor (where it remained for the rest of our dining experience). She told me she would bring me another one (which I never received). About 5 minutes went by, and our server arrived at our table to take our order. We ordered from the 2 for $25 menu and got salads as our appetizer, my father requesting Bleu Cheese dressing and myself asking for French with a side of Ranch (expecting, if anything, a normal sized French dressing and a smaller size cup of Ranch, and if not, two normal sized dressings).
  Our salads were brought to us, and my salad had two very small cups of dressing, while my father had a normal sized Bleu Cheese dressing. Around this time, my dad had also finished his water. I waited for a few minutes to see if our server would return to check on us, which he did not. By the time my father had received a refill on his water, I had decided to just deal with the two smaller sized dressings and had completely finished my salad (this was well over 15 minutes). We received our food, which was really good, the only reason I give this experience more than 1 star. Our server checked on us less than 5 times during our entire dinner, one of those was to take our food order and the other was to refill my dad's water.
  As a server, I understand when things get busy that you cannot check on your tables as much as you'd like. If that were the situation at hand, I would've been much more understanding. The restaurant was hardly busy, even with the large party (which left shortly after our food order was taken). There is a difference between an overwhelmed server and a bad server, and what we received tonight was flat out bad service. This was not my first experience with bad service at this specific Applebee's. We have decided to use the curb-side service for the remainder of our gift card.

  I've always been a fan of Applebees. This was one of my poorer experiences but still pretty good food. The service was a little bit unfriendly and our first table had freezing air blowing on us.

  Friendly, prompt service and delicious food. I've never had a bad experience at this location.
