Applebee's Grill - Buffalo

My family and I have visited Buffalo Applebee's countless times and have always had fantastic experiences compared to other Applebee's locations. The service is consistently excellent, and we always joke that we should have gone to Buffalo Applebee's when we have a less than favorable experience at another location. We have had many enjoyable evenings here, from celebratory dinners to cozy date nights with my husband. My favorite dish is the 4 cheese mac and cheese with extra honey pepper sauce and a side of sweet Asian chili sauce - trust me, it's absolutely delicious!

This is my fourth visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately it will also be my last. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it came out mostly raw and could probably still moo. The appetizers were decent. The ambiance is pleasant, but it won't be enough to make me come back for a fifth time.

The restaurant was just okay. The chicken dish I ordered (bourbon shrimp chicken grill) was clearly frozen. The service was average. The lettuce in my friend's enchilada was slimy, indicating poor quality. Overall, the cooking was not up to par. I was disappointed but not surprised, as this seems to be a recurring issue at this restaurant. However, our waitress was very friendly and provided excellent service. On a second visit, I ordered a triple chocolate meltdown, but was served a Hawaiian Smoothie instead of the virgin pina colada I requested, and it was not good. It tasted like a sad mix of low-quality ingredients in a glass.

We had a fantastic time and the boneless chicken wings were excellent.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. However, I was disappointed that the prices of the drinks were not listed. I was planning on indulging in a drink, but I was surprised to find out that it was almost as expensive as my entire meal. I will not make the mistake of ordering a drink there again.
