Applebee's - Buffalo

Not many places are open late after the pandemic. We had just finished bowling and decided to grab a bite at a restaurant around 10:30 PM. We...

We had a disappointing experience at this Applebee's location. Cole was our server, and while we initially ordered everything without issue, it's important to note that we were a party of nine.

Absolutely not. I always forget why I avoid this location. I might not go for a year or two, but then I return and remember—oh, the service is terrible!

I just popped in for a quick meal and wasn't sure what I wanted, so I decided to order the sampler. It came with mozzarella sticks, boneless wings served with celery, spinach and artichoke dip with chips, and chicken fajitas. The sampler also included a variety of dips and sauces: blue cheese, marinara, and salsa. I also tried the Blueberry Lemonade for the first time, and it was fantastic!

However, my confusion deepened when two Caucasian men walked in and were promptly seated at the bar, without any acknowledgement of our presence. While I wouldn't have minded sitting at the bar myself, it was disheartening not to be offered that option at all. It was a rather odd experience. Additionally, the restroom had an even more unpleasant odor than the entrance area. I began to question whether we were being overlooked because we are not Caucasian. Ultimately, we decided to leave.
