Do u dont wanna A restaurant tried to pull a switch-a-roo on the type of meat I was served.

So a group of us went to a local popular American chain steakhouse restaurant and all ordered different dishes. I ordered a filet, when my food arrived, I thought the steak looked more like a sirloin than a filet.

Upon taking my first bite it was chewy and not buttery like a filet. It was supposed to be an 8oz filet, it was more like 12oz sirloin, 2nd bite confirmed it was definitely not a filet.

I must’ve been visibly upset because the manager walked over and asked if everything was ok, to which I questioned the cut. She said it was a filet (but I think she went based on the toppings that are only offered on the filet). I said hmm ok, I guess.

She offered to switch it if I was not happy, I said it was fine, however, she insisted, so I accepted.. The second steak was a filet, appearance, taste and texture.. only the cook made it EXTRA peppery for me.. jokes on them I appreciated the extra pepper :)

Story time, the last time my wife and I went to apple bees we enjoyed the appetizer, we enjoyed our main course and even went for dessert which was unusual for us.. it was all so delicious..

We get our bill and while we’re waiting at the table for our server to take the check, the girl who was going to clean walked by our table in the bucket dark black dirty water, she proceeded to clean the doors with the rag, then the floors in front of the doors..

We were grossed out at how dark the water was when she walked by us, but here is where it gets worse..

As we pay and are about to leave she proceeds to a table that had just gotten up shortly before and using the same rag wiped down the table… That was the last time we went there.

That explains why every Applebee's smells like a dirty mop.

They padlocked the Applebee's in my town and didn’t tell the workers or customers .It was even on the local news too!

Too many places do, it’s honestly disappointing.
