I ate at Applebee's for the first time in my life today

There's a reason I've never chose to eat there. I'm not into those sort of mega chain places, and someone in my group chose to meet there for lunch. I went in with very low expectations, but they didn't even meet those.

I scoured the menu looking for something that would be hard to mess up and got a steak with roasted potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and onions. My medium rare came out medium well which soon after the first bite turned into well because it came on this sizzling plate. I didn't feel like sending a steak back at Applebee's when with a group. The potatoes was basically one small red potato cut into four pieces and the onions had bits of sautéed skin. Whatever seasoning they put on the steak was funky tasting.

I should have taken a pic of these fried onion strands a friend got which she did send back. They were dark brown, burnt and looked downright nasty.

Save the "no shite Sherlock" comments because like I said, it wasn't my choice. Another person picked up the tab, so thank goodness I didn't have to pay for that crap, but still I felt ripped off.

I don't have a clue as to how or why people actually go there. Never again.
