Rosey Posey Best dining out experience in a very long time! I have been to other Applebees locations in years past but, this is the first time I have been to the Dawsonville location. Clista served us, and she was very friendly and professional. Starting from the top I immediately noticed it was QUIET. No crazy loud music blasting, no wall to wall television situation either. There were TVs more near the bar, but I FULLY appreciate that there was plenty of space to dine in peace with no tv in my line of vision. I completely despise going out and see the restaurant with TVs covering every inch of available wall space, right along with loud and unsettling music blasting at ear piercing decibels. Its TOO MUCH! It is very unnerving and does not promote any sense of peace or calm. That alone is enough to drive me away. So, none of that was going on in this Applebees. I appreciate that A LOT!
The place seemed clean except a spot where it looked like a small corner table was being used to store condiments and a dustpan. That was a bit unsightly but also would be my only complaint.
We were greeted and our order taken promptly. We went with the white queso and chips for the appetizer which was delicious. Our appetizer was a bit late coming out, and we didnt complain but they comped it anyway with out our asking or anything. That was a nice gesture. It shows me they do care about their customers and will do the right thing independently.
For my meal I ordered the Cheddar bacon chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was great, but just a tad south of being served hot. Judging by the fact that the fries were crispy and piping hot I am assuming the sandwich was ready before the fries. And that would mean the sandwich cooled a bit before the fries were ready. Aside from that it was a good sandwich. That crispy bacon was just perfect! No one at our table had a complaint about their food. My daughter was pleased with the fish and chips, she really loved the coleslaw which is not something she usually likes. My other daughter had chicken alfredo, and my husband had the A lotta bacon burger.
Last thing, parking was great. Plenty of parking! I hate going out and all the good parking is reserved for mobile or app delivery services. I appreciate that they leave parking for people who physically came to dine in. Too many places are giving all the good parking spots to the pick up crowd!
I look forward to dining here again, and I regret not giving them a shot sooner! I will likely go out of my way and call their store and tell their manager how nice it was in their establishment.
