Tonight, we had dinner at Applebee's in Crestview, and I must say it was one of the best experiences we've had there in a long time! Our server, Tamika, was absolutely incredible. The food arrived hot and was incredibly delicious!

We came in and requested to watch a specific channel while we ate. The manager was very friendly and accommodating. The waitress was also very friendly and helpful. Our drinks were refilled without us even having to ask, which was fantastic.

My family and I have been going to Applebee's for many years. My favorites are their French onion soup and top sirloin. The food has always been excellent, and we have consistently received great service during our visits.

Once we were seated, everything improved. My daughter wanted to try the Cheetos cheese bites, which were decent but not really my taste. Since we ordered a couple of items to share, we decided to start with some chip and spinach dip. I ordered the Bourbon Street mushroom Swiss burger with fries and a side salad. The burger was tasty, but it had a lot of juice, which made it a bit messy—I'm not a fan of having to wipe off excess liquid. I ended up taking the salad and appetizers home, along with the half-eaten burger and fries. Our server was very attentive, refilling drinks without prompting and almost before we even realized we needed it. We were never without a drink, and I was pleased to find that the beverages were served without being watered down. Overall, it was a good experience once we were seated.
