This week we headed out to the "Neighborhood" aka Applebees. Applebees is one of those places that is a notch above fast food but yet isn't quite fine dining. It all seems very processed to me.
As we sat down they hand you a massive menu that has just about everything under sun on it. It is actually a two part menu. They always seem to be changing their menu but is really the same menu with different variations. There is only so many ways you can do chicken or a steak.
As we were perusing the menu, I noticed the two for twenty special that was featured. It is two entrees and one appetizer for twenty bucks. However it requires skilled negotiations to find somebody to partner up with you. I went with the fallback and guilted Becky into it. Had to talk her down from the salmon and into the Cedar Grilled Lemon Chicken. I had the Three Cheese Chicken Penne to complete the twofer. Maeve went with the 4-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders. Bridget ordered the Chicken Fajita Rollup.
Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food came out hot. However there is just something missing in the taste. It just all seems very bland to me. There was nothing that stood out to the group. None of us finished our meals and didn't bother taking anything home. This shouldn't disparage chain restaurants as Bonefish does a nice job as a example. This was our first chain restaurant of our journey so hopefully things will look up.
