  Applebee’s used to be our favorite restaurant but when we went there this time we were in the states, it was a big disappointment… Not the best no more… Either our taste changed or their dropped their quality… It was decent but nothing special…

  Not very good. This one is for the one located in 32175 State Hwy 79, in Temecula, CA, but I doubt there are better of this franchise. I can not remember a time when Applebee’s was something special, and now even less so, I sadly spent money on this place. At one time they served a decent Onion Soup, but that positive is way in the past, their newer version another sad reminder that this eatery has very few good things to say about it. The Waitress that served us, Tracey g., was a true professional in her demeanor and was rewarded accordingly. Besides her fine service, the food ordered was: Fish and Chips: at almost $14 a plate it was way overpriced and badly presented. The quality of the food left a lot to be desired, even though their Cole Slaw (of which they serve you such a small serving they must be counting calories in the back) was acceptable. Three pieces of fish, under par fish certainly, with a batter that is a failed formula as far as taste is concerned. Fries are nothing special, look elsewhere for good fish and chips. 2.5 Stars.Cowboy Burger: at $9.99 each, it also lacked the wow factor, and now with fierce competition all over, they did not step up to the plate, they basically keep serving the same bland, uneventful burger. Sizable enough to satisfy the average appetite, the waitress asked if we wanted to include onion rings for an additional $1.75. I do not know why, but it seems that these days the idea of adding fries, onion rings, etc., inside the burger is growing in popularity! As a matter of fact Burger King (possibly now a days one of the less quality burgers available in free America), is including their already highly unappetizing french fries inside a $1 burger. I figure is all about the volume, but little to do with quality taste. Topped with crispy onion strings, bacon and cheese, this one is eatable, but not memorable by any stretch of the imagination. Overprices, average tasting, In and Out down the street puts it to shame for far less $. 3 Stars.Bourbon Black and Bleu Burger, at almost $11 the only thing really attractive is the name. Came with applewood smoked bacon, bourbon caramelized onions (I do not know exactly what that term is, because what arrived to the table was a gooey, overly cooked, mushy mess for such a fancy way of calling it), jack cheese, bleu cheese crumbles (this bleu cheese was at the bottom of the pecking order as far as Bleu Cheese is concerned) on a toasted bun with smoky mayo (so fancy the title, but so little taste that what is the difference?). A very clear reminder that Applebee’s burgers are plain and expensive. 3 Stars at the most.Service was more than adequate, even though we surely waited over 25 minutes for our order to arrive, to the point that the lovely lady in our group suggested she might go to the kitchen to speed up things, she being such a bad cook herself.To be blunt but honest, most of these so called national franchises leave you feeling like you could have done much better spending the same amount at Costco, per say, and end up eating so much better for less money. Of course the old tradition of being served is attractive, but not one of the three in our party had enjoyment eating at Applebee’s. This is officially the very last time. We already given this place way too many chances to no avail. 3 Stars barely.
