I have had food from here three times and have not been disappointed. Three different entrees; the bourbon steak, shrimp and riblets. I also appreciate that they offer a small desert for a great price. The Brownie Bite is really good and just enough to satisfy.

I ordered a medium rare steak which is supposed to come with mashed potatoes and a veggie. I got a cold, well done steak and three cold pieces of broccoli, no potatoes or substitute. Waste of $25 dollars.

We ordered the 2 for $26, and I have a few concerns with this order, unfortunately.
Though the appetizer (onion rings) was a good amount and cooked well, and the bacon cheeseburger was prepared correctly, the 6oz garlic sirloin has some issues.
I don't blame Applebees for the quality of the cut of meat (there is a larger amount of fat than I would expect). However, the steak was so saturated in butter that the fries were soaked in it. This made it so a good portion of the fries were soggy. Due to this, I feel like the fries should have been packaged separately from the steak, like the french onion soup was. It makes me glad I didn't order the salad instead, as a salad would have been entirely inedible if packaged with the steak. The french onion soup was also filled very very full (which I appreciate in theory) but this made it extremely troublesome to open without making a mess.
Also, a much smaller issue, but a spoon was included for the soup, but no fork for the steak?
My other concern is the price increase. I know that Doordash orders list food at higher prices to accommodate d Doordash as a company getting paid, but with this being the case, the 2 for $26 is no longer as listed, but instead a 2 for $30. And that's if you select one of the two only entrees that do not have added fees. Though many are only $0.69 extra, in-house only a handful are "premium" entrees, most do not cost extra. The same is true for the sides - in Doordash, only 4 of the available sides (out of probably around 10-12 options) were not additional costs. Most of them were $3-4 extra. This made the 2 for $26 $40 before tip, with only one "premium" side and only one entree that cost additional fees.

Riblets were all grisle and bone, barely any meat. Advertised as "sweet" and spicy Asian sauce but there was no sweet, just spice. Bland mashed potatoes, fries were good.

Both items were absolutely horrible. Minimal boneless chicken pieces: like 3. JUST THREE! The Caesar salad was horrible. 2 shrimps and 4 chicken pieces. Wrong dressing; I hate blue cheese and that's what I got!!!! Lettuce was brown and wilted. For the price we paid I expected more, much more. The meals were thrown together. My momma had the boneless chicken and she couldn't even eat it; the taste was terrible. I am so disappointed.
