Apple Bee's Food Going Down Hill

So we have been going stir crazy in the house and today it was finally nice enough to go out and get some stuff done. We got most of our stuff this morning and then once we got home we realized we still needed one more thing to complete a project. We are giving up cable but we would still like to catch the local news so that we can see what idiots in Oklahoma are doing.

We had to go back and get an converter box so that we can use the antenna. Our TV was made one year before they came standard in the TVs. Yes we want a new TV too but that is another post. So anyways, by the time we get the converter box it is almost 6:30 p.m. and we are both hungry and so is Max, who didn't get a very good lunch or a nap all day. So we go to Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW). I happen to see another couple walking out as Tim is getting Max out of the car and ask how busy they were. They said there were about 25 people waiting to sit down. So BWW is out, we move on. Apple Bee's is the next closest thing.

I go in and ask how long the wait was, it was 10-15 minutes. It's doable so we decide to stay. We sit down, no problems. We get our drinks and order an appetizer, still no problems. Then we wait. There was another couple who sat down in the booth next to ours. I'm watching them and then I see out of the corner of my eye that they got their appetizer. I'm puzzled, we sat down before them and ordered before they even got to the table. Then about 3 minutes later they get their meal. Come on, we don't even have our appetizer yet.

We ordered some buffalo wings, just the regular ones. Well apparently I didn't read the menu because they are boneless now and they totally tasted like shit. I mean these things were awful. I had 2 and that was it. They tasted like they came out of a plastic bag, dropped on the floor, then thrown in the fryer and then served to us.

So then the meal comes. I had the chicken finger platter. So for the large size I thought it was a bit small, could have been a kid's portion with these 5 little tenders. I'm use the really big ones, like you get 5 but can only eat 3. The fries looked like they had been sitting under the light and tasted that way as well. Now mine was the good meal. You should have seen Tim's BBQ sandwich. The outside portion of the meat was hard and crusty, you couldn't eat it. The onion rings on top of it were like 3 weeks old, and the meat had no flavor. So it was suppose to be a BBQ sandwich and the there looked like there was about 1/2 tsp of BBQ sauce on it.

Okay so now to the point. I don't expect to much out of McDonald's and Burger King. I know what I'm buying when I go there. Something quick and easy. When I go to an Apple Bee's or Chili, or a place that is a little more expensive then Mickey D's and BK, expect a little bit more. I'm not looking for Gordan Ramsey's burger or chicken finger platter but I am looking for something better than Mickey D's or BK. Tonight, I would have eaten Mickey D's or BK over what we were served. We will not being going back. Yes I did pay, we did eat it, begrudgingly but that is mostly because we were hungry and didn't want to hear the boy scream because we were putting him back in car seat again to go to attempt to go to another place to eat. Lesson learned, NO MORE APPLE BEE'S!!!
