First of all I want to say that I absolutely LOVE the APPLEBEE'S IN ATHENS. I was hoping that the Applebee's in Florence would be just as pleasing. However, after a trip there this past weekend, I will never be back. First of all it took us forever to get seated. Which would have been fine, but there were 5 empty tables that needed to be cleaned off & the waitresses were to busy flirting with other customers. Any way, we were finally seated & ordered. The grown ups in our group ordered steak & ribs. The kids ordered their usual corn dogs & fries. We got all of our steaks & ribs first. About 10 mins later the kids got their corndogs. One of them took a bite & said mom, this is cold. Not only was it cold, the hot dog was STILL FROZEN. So was my other sons. We told our waitress & about 10 mins later we had new corndogs, these were darker on the outside so we thought, maybe they were done. Boy were we wrong. I cut through both of the new ones & they were still frozen! We went through 8 corndogs before we got 2 that were cooked all the way through. We were all finished before the kids even got something that was edible. I could have over looked the first time, but come on, how hard is it to get a corn dog right? So that is why we will stick to the Applebees in Athens. Thanks for letting me vent.
