Had to take the LR and Mrs. out for dinner. They didn't want to go to the local cuz they wanted different food.
I had the large Sam Adams. Crystal had some kind of cranberry drink. The Mrs. had the "large screwdriver". Both of their drinks came in "goblets" and the Mrs. wasn't too fond of hers as it tasted like orange juice. So next round she ordered the "regular" sized drink with a shot of vodka on the side.
Realize the large cost a dollar more than the regular. The shot cost 4.50.
When it arrived in it's frosty glass (fake frosty as it stayed that way after it was warm) I looked at the volume of the pint glass the regular came in and the empty goblet. I poured the ice out of the goblet into LR's half empty and them poured the regular in to the large. It filled the whole goblet. HMMMMM.
An extra buck? The waitress came over and thought they gave her a large by mistake. I educated her. She seemed embarrassed.
Here's the total:
Large Screwdriver: $5.25
Regular Screwdriver: $4.25
Shot of Vodka: $4.25
Long Island (Large) $7.50
My local:
Mixed drink: $3.50 (it's really a double shot...barely any OJ)

Have you ever been eating at Applebee's, looked around and thought to yourself, "Why am I eating this Godforsaken Applebee's food alongside all of the mindless chattle that's easily herded toward this hog trough by bad advertising?"
And if you've ever had such a thought, have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you owe the purveyors and customers of the Applebee's family a sincere apology?

Every time Applebee's is mentioned, I think of that guy that left a $10k tip for a bartender, and wonder "wtf was he thinking?"
Sounds like it would cost an arm and leg to get a good buzz in there... Then again, its a family restaurant; they probably dont want any of our ilk there..

Listen pal, I'm dealing with women, a full fucking moon (and everything that might entail-"a nod's as good as a wink to a blind man") and they want fucking Applebee's. I guess I'm eating at fucking Applebee's. But I kept the receipt, for next time. So there won't be no more next time. This is the last time.swingbozo wrote:Frapplebees?

I'm sure I'll catch flak here, but what the hell.
Is Applebee's continental cuisine? No.
Is Applebee's a place where you can go and not have to spend an inordinate amount of time pondering their offerings? Yes.
Is Applebee's the only restaurant where some of you have experienced shitty service and order screw-ups? If you're honest, the answer is a resounding 'no'.
You can say that Applebee's, Chili's, Friday's, etc. have 'dumbed-down' going out to eat all you want but when I want to go somewhere that I know will provide me with decent service and decent food at a decent price-point, I'll hit Applebee's.
The drink prices Judge spoke of may be the result of a high-dollar market (i.e. San Diego).
