Applebee's Grill + Bar

My wife and I dropped in for an early dinner. I ordered a grilled chicken balsamic salad which was very nice and very filling. The wife had the small sirloin with mashed potatoes. She said it was good ,the serving was a bit small,but for us it was just wright.

Bar table area is okay to find your own seats if available. Didn't know this but now I do for quick seating. Happy hour drinks are not great there water down. Had to add also seating people next to a giant window with the blinds up is not only hot (this is AZ) but kills the mood of a nice relaxing atmosphere with music. A veiw of the parking lot is not worth it, and the bright sun shining on your face is blinding while you try to enjoy a cocktail. Close the shades and change this with nice dim lights you already have on in the day.

The server that we got was friendly and very outgoing. Our appetizer was the artichoke dip. Very good and justvenough chips to finish the dip and salsa. The Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp was also good. The only complaint I would have would be that iscwas really greasy. It came out on a cast iron skillet and was sizzling like fajitas do. It was just sitting in a pool of grease. Other than all the grease it was a great evening eating there.
