I don’t think they’re in the same nature as Applebee’s at all, but, Dallas BBQ is the shit.
How is the food cooked? That’s usually what it comes down to. Normally when chains like Applebee’s etc have ribs, it’s not slow cooked/smoked, and generally leads to the meat shrinking really fast, burned more than acceptable meats, and tougher meats due to cooking at higher temperatures since you normally have a specific time frame you’d like to order in and be out of the restaurant. That sort of cooking doesn’t lend itself well to BBQ IMO. That’s almost always why the chains never nail it right compared to doing it yourself at home.
In my experience, lower-middle-class suburbanite white people think it’s classy, while still being cheap enough that they can eat there every day.
Applebee’s is always poppin on friday’s in my area especially since its right across the street from the mall and a college around the corner…I cant remember when I ate there but a large majority of food in restaurants is bland…nothing like homemade imo… IHOP is what needs to be discussed…
Went to Applebee’s a long time ago to meet a blind date. Got laid that night. Never had another reason to go back.
We were supposed to go to Applebees one time but we never went. Everything happens(or doesn’t happen) for a reason I suppose.
That one song from Spiderman 1 was pretty good. Well, a pretty good credit song.
Which you would have never willingly subjected yourself to, were it not for the vain hope that there might have been some after credits footage.
Yeah, but-
yeah…it’s true.
That wasn’t Nickelback–just the one guy from Nickelback.
It’s still terrible.
Well, I’m sure somebody out there likes it. I mean, it got into Spiderman! That movie was awesome.
Yeah, Spider-Man was pretty cool. It was the best thing that ever happened to whatsishorseface.
For what it’s worth, Canada still harbours STRONG hatred for Canada birthing Nickelback.
Went to Applebee’s once. Food was crap, servers were competent, but won’t go back.
I lol’ed when I read the title because it is so true. I live within walking distance of an applebees and my whole
life I have never understood why people love it so much. In the 3 times I actually went there the experience
was always mediocre. The food was mediocre, the waiter was loud, and place just had a boring vibe to it.
that nickleback spiderman song was TERRIBLE*
*this coming from someone who liked dashboard confessional’s “vindicated” for spiderman 2
I dig their $5 burger and fries deal, when I am out late and everyone else is closed and I need a meal and a drink that’s the place to go. the only other place open late is Steak n Shake and I can get a greater/better quantity of food at Applebees.
I guess I am just lucky by not having a shitty Applebees in my area, fast service, decent food, average cute waitresses.
Golden Corral or gtfo
IN my area post 10PM appetizers are half off
Best food there -> Buffalo Wings Appetizers
order 2-3 orders of those and drinks = Dinner for the night for cheap. Also their deserts are not that bad either. Its pretty good food for cheap price though its no ruby tuesdays for sure.
At least you guys have a lot of choice. Most the major chain restaurants up here suck(with very few exceptions).
