However, Friday night, after realizing that we had no hamburger to cook the Mexican casserole I was planning I did suggest that we go to "Everyone's favorite neighborhood." Two reasons led me to choosing Applebees that night. 1.) I had seen some commercials about the 550 calorie menu that they have and knew that I would be able to find something to eat there that wouldn't completely ruining my figure. 2.) I had a coupon for buy one entrée and get a second half off. So we jumped into the car and headed out.
I was impressed.
We got there and were seated right away on a Friday night. We did decide to sit at the bar in order to get seated sooner. The bartender handed us our menus and after sifting through it I realized that my decision on what to have was going to be MUCH harder. Not only did every item on the "under 550 calorie" menu look great, but they had so many new and different choices than the last time I was there. Everything looked great.
My husband and I ordered and appetizer of potato twists and queso blanco. The seasoning was excellent and I really wish I knew how to make that queso! Ethan chose to have provolone stuffed meatballs with fettuccine alfredo and I chose a 550 calorie chicken teriyaki pasta. Both meals were fantastic. We both raved while we ate about how good it was, and were happy to take some home with us.
I left there thinking..."I could come back here real soon and try something else." Maybe I had stayed away from Applebees long enough for them to revamp their entire menu (except for a few classic items) and rekindle my liking for it. So if you haven't been there in a while, you might give it a try. You might just be as impressed as I was.
