点评:We took our Mother there for her 89th birthday. When I asked her where she wanted to go, she said Applebee's since she hadn't been there in a long time.
What a big mistake! I worked in food service for about 40 years, and I have never seen such lackluster service by a server in my life! She was mostly deadpan in personally throughout our meal, that is for the few times we saw her. Brought our drinks but not the creamer for the coffee. By the time she brought the creamer the coffee was too cold to drink, and she had to get another cup. Our meals came out in a quick manner which was good. My husband had the "all you can eat" chicken wings special. One of the sauces he originally wanted was out of stock, so he orders another flavor. But the wings and his fries were not hot when it arrived. My lunch was hot and good so was my Mother's. The server did not check back on us for quite a while. With "all you can eat" you would think that the thing to do would be to stop by and see if you wanted more wings. Nope we had to flag down the server to order additional wings. While she was there, we asked for a refill on coffee and water. Five minutes later she came back with coffee but no water. At that time, she asked again about the sauce for the wing refill. So obviously she did not place the reorder yet! Finally got the wings after 25 minutes! That is so ridiculous considering it was now after 2 o'clock and the restaurant was not busy! Of course, our server blamed the kitchen, saying it was because there was only 1 cook on duty. Seriously, 25 minutes for chicken and fries to be dropped into the fryer? It was truly sad that the majority of our lunch conversation was about how horrible it was. I felt so bad about my Mother's 89th birthday lunch turned out like this!

多么大的错误!我在餐饮服务行业工作了大约 40 年,我这辈子从未见过服务员的服务如此乏味!在我们吃饭的整个过程中,她本人大多面无表情,那是我们见过她的几次。带来了我们的饮料,但没有带来咖啡奶精。等她端来奶精时,咖啡已经凉得不能喝了,她不得不再拿一杯。我们的饭菜很快就出来了,这很好。我丈夫点了“吃到饱”的特色鸡翅。他原来想要的一种酱料没货了,所以他又点了另一种口味。但是送来的时候鸡翅和他的薯条并不热。我的午餐又热又好吃,我妈妈的也是。服务器很长一段时间没有检查我们。对于“吃到饱”,你会认为要做的就是停下来看看你是否想要更多的翅膀。不,我们不得不标记服务器以订购额外的翅膀。当她在那里时,我们要求补充咖啡和水。五分钟后,她拿着咖啡回来了,但没有水。那时,她又问起鸡翅补充装的酱汁。所以很明显她还没有重新订购! 25分钟后终于拿到翅膀了!考虑到现在已经是 2 点多了,而且餐厅还不忙,这太荒谬了!当然,我们的服务员指责厨房,说这是因为只有一名厨师值班。说真的,将鸡肉和薯条放入油炸锅需要 25 分钟?令人难过的是,我们午餐的大部分谈话都是关于它有多可怕。我对我母亲 89 岁生日午餐变成这样感到很难过!
