I eat here all the time with my friends. The food is great, and service is almost always perfect.
At any restaurant, there are employees that aren't the greatest, but from what I've experienced at Applebee's in Malden everyone really wants to take care of us.
Also, like any chain restaurant, food never get's the same respect as it would from a mom and pop shop, but I've always had a great meal, great serving sizes, and always leftovers.
I will keep coming back and brining my friends with me. Thanks Applebee's!
For the prices.....your getting a good deal. No restaurant gets it perfect every time but the do try.
