I LIKE Applebees, but not love. Their Fiesta Lime Chicken is really good. And their frozen peach margaritas are really, really good. We used to go there in college to start out the weekend. I also ran up a $100 bar tab there once. Damn those margaritas.
But my vote is for Carrabbas. Yummo.

Applebee's is ok- they have a few good sandwiches. But for the price I can go to a real restaurant and get better, more interesting stuff (fast food joints are really not that cheap any more- for MAYBE 5 bucks more than a Mickey D's or Applebee's meal I can have sushi or indian or a good vegetarian meal elsewhere). I'm a food snob and I hate chains.

Almost all of my friends, past and present...and my family. I think this is a STL thing. Parking lots of various Applebee's are full most of the time, even at odd times like Tuesday at 10pm. On Sunday nights you see shitloads of social fraternity and sorority students eating/drinking there after their chapter meetings.
People over here seem to be huge fans of chain restaurants period. If you express dislike of chains, you'll be viewed as a snob.

Olive Garden rocks. That's one of the few chains I like.

On the plus side, it is a child-friendly restaurant which is a must with a preschooler.
If we're talking about chain restaurants, I'll take Ruby Tuesday any day over Applebee's.

I'll choose TGI Friday's over both.

Correction: they used to be good. I liked it when they had their days-of-the-week burgers. Now they've revamped the menu and I really have to search for anything good. Plus they screwed AXO Alum's family over.
I like Applebee's appetizers but I like appetizers anywhere. I'm an appetizer hog. They have like one thing I like on their menu, the zesty ranch chicken sandwich or whatever. It's a buffalo chicken sandwich and I love buffalo sauce.
We go there because my mum is a celiac and that limits places she can eat out. She can eat the ribs there no problem. I like their fries too but that's it. If it's between Applebees and anywhere else you know where I'm headed.

You can buy it in the grocery store or at the liquor store. I know exactly which drink you are talking about because I buy it and make it at home. All you need is ice and a blender.  Oops I am referring to the drink at Fridays, not Applebees.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about those...I think my favorite was the Wednesday Burger (yummmmm).
As far as kid's meals go, Friday's has given us the best bang for the buck.

Mine was whichever one had the mushrooms and swiss. I always put bacon on mine but bacon goes on everything. I'd be Jewish but I love bacon too much!

Applebee's is OK. It's the "have a beer with dinner" place nearest my house so sometimes I just end up there out of not wanting to schlep anywhere else. I can't see making more of an effort than that to get to one though.
I agree w/ honeychile on Denny's. Dirty, gross food and terrible service.

I totally agree. The first and only time I went to Friday's was when I was in California. I didn't see anything too spectacular about it, but I did like the variety of drinks. The Mango-Berry Daquiri (i think that's what its called...ITS HUGE) is awesome!
