I'd recommend ordering a big salad (my daughter said it was very fresh) or a burger or chicken dish. You might want to stay away from the steak, which my son said was stringy. We didn't even order dessert and still wound up paying around $85. It is a step above fast food, but not THAT big of a step.

If you want the reassurance of a chain when you are on the road this place is for you. This one Is a better than average Applebee's. The service was great, fast and reasonably attentive even though we got into town late and needed a meal.

Good food and service. Not bad but nothing spectacular. Higher end for the area.

In general, I dislike chain restaurants but we were meeting someone at their choice. This Applebees in particluar had extremely greasy/salty food. If did come quickly and it was hot, but taste was lacking. Our hostess was very nice and the service was good but I would not go back. Soup was too salty, sandwhich was a grease bomb. Salad... More

I ordered a salad, which had a few bits of romaine lettuce covering a radish/carrot/cabbage mix. It was a very cheap way to construct what they considered to be a salad. Fruit on salad was sparce at best. Service was prompt and friendly but it did not overshadow the poor food quality.

Our recent visit to Applebee's in Houghton, MI was Apple-icious! Our steak and chicken meals were delicious, and reasonably priced. Our server was very attentive. It was just what these weary travelers needed after a long - but delightful - day of sightseeing! We highly recommend this dining establishment.
