I just went there tonight before the movies with a friend because Texas Roadhouse had a two hour wait. I asked for my burger to be well-done, not burnt to a crisp, and the fries didn't have much flavor at all. I can get a better burger at home.

Alrighty then.
You know why I don't go to Applebee's? Because it's fuckin' Applebee's...

They been shuttering eateries for yrs nowI just went there tonight before the movies with a friend because Texas Roadhouse had a two hour wait.

There are very few of those chain places like Applebees or Chili's that I will go to. I make better food and my drinks are better.

Now I understand why there was hardly anybody there. It's like good old Crocodile Dundee says:

Absolutely.
St. Augustine's independently owned restaurants are served by a fleet of fishing and shrimp boats which bring in hundreds of pound of fresh catch, literally, every single morning.
It astounds me that a restaurant like Red Lobster can exist here...

St Augustine is one of our favorite places to go!! Plenty of great food, an awesome state park for camping, and tons of history.

I don't doubt what you say about Texas Roadhouse for a second. Last night the parking lot of my local Texas Roadhouse was packed. I was at the place next door: Fazoli's which is my next favorite place after Golden Corral. To me, there is no better breadstick compared to what comes from Fazoli's. Olive Garden came close the last time that I was there, but still, to me, Fazoli's is the best.
God bless you always!!!

P.S. Apple Bee's has always been a middle of the road restaurant in my opinion. I've never hated it, but it is not a favorite either. If anything, I only think about a cousin that I lost to Cancer in late 2011 whenever I am there. She and I went to my local Apple Bee's on December 31st of 2010, and the expression on her face for most of the night was like a window into the only thing that was on her mind: the deteriorating of her health. Her final day was on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

I have a recipe for them.

I don't think Red Lobster realizes you can prepare seafood without deep frying it.

But then you have to go to Walmart.

I actually opened the first Applebees in MN as a cook years ago when I still did that for a living.
Food was pretty good then for a fast paced sit down eatery...
Went to one a couple years ago and the food was awful and nothing like what used to be served there.

True...
Walmart... the only place I feel I should wear a mask... and that was before the pandemic...
You could probably find the mix at any grocery store, probably Amazon as well...
Then there is always the online copycat recipes:

I have no idea how this franchise is still in business.
In the 90s they use to okay. Up there with Ruby Tuesdays, Chilis.
By the 2010s... they were obviously in financial squeeze.
Last time we were in one was somewhere in West Virginia, traveling through and hungry, not much along the interstates there.
So we went there. I remember we both said we wished we would have just went to the Wendy's next to it.
