Applebee's Grill + Bar

Came on National burger day and Applebee’s Monticello delivered!

The food was quite good. I ordered the chicken alfredo pasta and I liked it very much. The taco salad was alright. The decor is outdated and the restaurant is not very clean, being as many things were dusty and clearly have not been given attention for some time. The setup has not changed for many years. Although, the server we had was very kind and gave the appropriate amount of attention. It wasn't very crowded, but the music was a bit too loud. They do require reservations, although it's not necessary on days that aren't busy.

My family and I have been going to this Applebee’s for quite awhile. We usually have a good time, but tonight all of that has changed. When we walked in the door the greeter was very kind and asked us “How many?” There was no line and the place wasn’t crowded. After telling him “5” he continued to ask me for my personal contact information. I thought that was strange because this has never happened to my family and I on any of our other evenings out at our local restaurant. I continue to give them my personal information only to turn around and my wife and daughter are being yelled at by who I can only assume was the bartender. Screaming at them that “they can’t be in here without a mask on”. I pause for a moment and look around at everyone in the restaurant and nobody besides the staff had a mask on. We let him know that it would only be 30 seconds or less to seat us and then we wouldn’t have to ware them. The bartender then proceeded to run to get his boss or the manager. The manager sheepishly wandered out from the back and looked as if he didn’t want to get involved. After a minute of back and forth my family and I left the restaurant saying “that we won’t be back”.nnThis is where it all starts, close down all the family run small businesses. Once their out of the way impose policies that force people to do things they can’t or won’t do and deny them service if they refuse. It’s time to stand up for what’s right.

Celebrated a birthday ud83cudf89. Was a good time. Staff was friendly.

The food was delicious as always, love the chicken wonton tacos! The service could have been better from out waiter considering the place wasn't even 25% full.
