Is this a specific majestic Applebee's you attend? Is it in Narnia? Lot's of people obviously like them otherwise they wouldn't have successful restaurants all over the place. They aren't any cheaper than the next place. That's because their strategy has always been #1 Open a restaurant in an area without much comparable competition and #2 Decorate the walls with local flair and favor to simulate the home-feeling local-support mentality. Their smart marketing doesn't mean the vast majority of Applebee's don't have wretched food. TGI Fridays, Chili's, Outback, Ruby Tuesdays, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, >>>>>>>>> Applebee's I'd take Applebee's over Denny's, but that's absolutely it. |

The worst thing about this story IMO is the waitress posted this on r/atheism. That place is a shithole.

We have no Applebees here. Hell, we don't have any of the big US chain restaurants like Applebees

I'll give you TGI Fridays and Outback but not the others. Chili's I think is almost similar to Applebee's so I'll call it a push. I don't find Olive Garden that good at all other than their breadsticks and Red Lobster is just disgusting. |

Chili's ribs, burgers, and fries are way better than anything on the Applebee's menus. And Red Lobster's quality is incredibly all over the place depending on where you are in the country. If you're on the coasts, it's a lot better because the fish is fresher. If you're in like, the midwest it's apparently wretched. I'm pretty close to the shore here in NJ so their food is usually pretty good. Plus, cheddar biscuits.
Olive Garden is pretty awful though. You get more authentic Italian food from Chef Boyardee. I don't get how they're always so popular in this part of the country. This region of the country is one where you can throw a rock and hit like 5 different Italian restaurants of far superior quality. And they're typically cheaper or at least on par with Olive Garden's prices.
