Applebees in Calgary
I have visited many Applebees all over the US and Canada. I have liked them quite a bit in the past. This time on my birthday we decided to go to the Applebees on Country Hills Blv., the only one in Calgary.
We were there around 3pm on a thursday afternoon, and so needless to say, found parking right in front of the door. We were grateful for this as we were bringing in a baby in a stroller.
Once inside the greeting staff, seemed a bit lost and confused, they didnt know where to put us with a stroller and all, and so for 5-7 minutes we stood at the front as the girl frantically ran around cleanign tables and muttering inaudible stuff we couldnt understand. Finally, she took us to the back, and we realized she was looking to put us in a quiet spot with lots of space. Good for her!
The wait staff, and server were very friendly, very curteous and very caring of the fact that we were here with a baby, they even split our food, which we were sharing into two plates, so it would be easy for us to each eat our meal without having to reach over, all this with a baby.
The bathroom was quite clean and the change table functioned well and was clean.
The only complain I have is with the food, it was barely palatable, and the quality has gone down lots since I have last visited an Applebees. The Nacho’s nuevo were quite good however.
All in all, even though this restaurant has been attached to a family tradition (my husband and I allways went to an Applebees for a meal when we rented a car, yep we have rented quite a few cars :D), I must say I will pass on this restaurant in the future. Either we will need to stop renting cars, or look for a different place to fulfill our family tradition.
