Applebee's is the place to go for a fun night of casual dining. This location has a good size parking lot and a fun family atmosphere. There is a "carside to go" service, so customers can call to order and the food is brought right out to the car. Applebee's also features a great selection of 2/$20 meals, pick and pair lunches, and many items that are under 550 calories. Stop in for a great time and great food.
