Whenever someone invites me to Applebee’s I just tell them “No thanks. I can microwave the hell out of my own food at home for free if that’s what I wanted to eat.”
Meh, it’s been many many years. But I don’t remember Apple Bees being any worse (or better) than any other of those 90s chains. ( TGIF, Chilli’s, Ruby Tuesday, etc)
I’m kinda the same, only for me it’s been decades. But I will forever remember Applebee’s fondly because that’s where I first discovered fried mozerella sticks and marinara sauce. It was a religious experience, and for a couple of years I went whenever I had money and opportunity just to eat those. Can’t say I remember eating anything else there; I must have, at least the first time.
Applebee’s mozerella sticks are like Taco Bell tacos: they may not be the best quality, but if that was your introduction, nothing else can be quite as good in quite the same way.
Well, yeah. They are all shit.
Did that person think this was some killshot solely on Applebee’s?
They’ve probably never seen a forest either with all the trees in the way.
I don’t understand how anyone can eat at there. The food is actually terrible. It was one of two non-fast food restaurants in the town I grew up in and my parents always suggested to meet up there for dinner and I was still always like… I’d rather eat at mcdonalds than that place…
Boomers with zero discernment have kept some zombie companies alive for decades beyond their natural sunsetting. The same goes for said Boomers.
I haven’t eaten at and Applebee’s in well over a decade but in our late teens early 20s my friend group used to do half priced appetizers at Applebee’s once a week. It was cheap and we knew a couple of the servers so they were very tolerant of us. This is actually how one of my close friends met his wife.
A friend lived in a similar small town and if I went down to see him Applebee’s was the only place with TVs where we could watch sports. We were so happy when they got a Buffalo Wild Wings, even if they’re overpriced and I can go to better, local sports bars at my house, it’s a dramatic upgrade for his town.
The only way this story makes sense is if it occurred in the south, where they have club Applebee’s. Otherwise, I have a lot of questions about how this would even occur.
I’m sure this is possible, any specific reason you think this couldn’t happen at a normal Applebee’s in the northern US?
I didn’t say it couldn’t, just that it is improbable for myriad reasons. Not many beverage druggings occurring in well lit, highly staffed, low customer restaurants. Unless the drugger was in this person’s group, it would be pretty unusual.
She’s a reality TV actress, it’s likely a “joke”
( I looked her up, I don’t watch that shit )
