Applebee's All You Can Eat

[Alpha8472]

Applebee's has brought back its all you can eat boneless wings, riblets, fries, coleslaw, and double crunch shrimp for $14.99.

With the high price of fast food these days this seems like a good deal. It's too bad that Applebee's has been closing locations all over the place. You have travel far to even find one.

If the bad service I have experienced is any indication, Applebee's is one of the few places where I could still end up hungry after an all you can eat special. Seriously, I have never been to a restaurant where I have received such consistently bad service regardless of the location. It has been at least ten years since I have been to Applebee's and I am honestly surprised that there haven't been more closures.

Just saw an interesting article about a study claiming that mid-range sit-down casual restaurants (Chilis/Applebees/Olive Garden etc) is the one venue where classes (lower/middle/upper) actually mix in society these days. Everywhere else (retail, leisure, etc) is so stratified.

I don't think Applebee's has anything to worry about here. It would be like if McDonald's offered an all you can eat. The food is so bad you won't want any more after the first serving.

I wonder if Applebee's posts a time limit in the restaurants. McDonalds has a 30 minute limit posted in various locations (franchisee locations around Reno have this, seen in Stockton, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver also). Never seen a time limit in a corporate McDonalds. The time limit sign can then be used for justifying calling the police and trespassing out individuals who overstay the time limit. I think 30 minutes is unreasonably short.
