Applebee's Grill + Bar 1700 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, KS 66109

"Had delivery dinner for my elderly mother and myself on March 16th in the evening. I ordered the 6oz steak, most of which could not be chewed past the scant seasoning on the outside. I ordered it medium and it was delivered medium rare which was acceptable but the meat itself was likely an old reconstituted baby shoe. The mashed potatoes were adequate but not what I'd call good. I also had a side Caesar salad and it was almost decent but a good deal of it was thick white lettuce core which I don't eat. Mom's white cheddar chicken was dry and mediocre. I didn't notice cheddar of any color. The potatoes were so-so. I already don't like the Legends Applebee's so giving the leather steak to my dog was no big surprise but mom was very disappointed. She loves the place. Hopefully it will be the last meal she requests from Legend's Applebee's. The cost for this slop was more than $70."

"The food was good, service was quick and efficient. We had the classic broccoli chicken alfredo and double glazed baby back ribs with garlic mash in place of fries. The food was good although the alfredo was cold. I also had a margarita which was good. I’d say we would definitely go back and probably next time ask for the cold food to be remade as it wasn’t even really busy so there was no reason for cold food."

"Nice atmosphere. Our service was slow. My husband was happy with his bacon cheese burger but the 4 cheese mac and cheese with chicken strips was awful. The noodles just tasted wet, the cheese "sauce" had no flavor. The manager delivered our appetizer. I believe her name was Tammy, she was kind and friendly."

"Walked in the door and wasn't greeted for a good 5min when the whole restaurant was empty (mind you this was at 4pm) Only for the manager to tell us they were in the middle of a shift change (understandable) but then tried to convince us to go else where. Once seated our server was great but food took forever to arrive to our table, (over an hour) I was surprised it wasn't cold by the time it took. Food is overall mediocre for their prices & ever since they've changed the menus up it hasn't been the same."

"In the culinary rollercoaster that is life, Applebee's proved to be a delightful loop-de-loop of flavors and fun. The chicken wonton tacos danced into my mouth with such finesse, I almost considered giving them a standing ovation – the crispy performance was truly Oscar-worthy. Now, let's talk service. Our waiter was not just serving food; he was conducting a symphony of hospitality. I half-expected him to break into a tap dance routine, but alas, he refrained and stuck to impeccable service. Bravo! The atmosphere? Well, it felt like the kind of place where even the air conditioner is chill. It's like Applebee's whispered, "Relax, you're among friends," and I obliged with a contented sigh. In the comedy of life, Applebee's is the punchline that leaves you smiling. So, if you fancy a plateful of joy, a side of crispy brilliance, and a waiter who deserves a medal for his charm, Applebee's is your stage for a laugh-out-loud meal. Bon appétit and stand-up comedy, Your Comedic Food Critic Ken"
