I dont know where you live, but Applebee's has thee worst service...they seat you promptly, but then they leave you alone for about 45 minutes, they take your order and then they disappear for another 45 min. And its not like you can look around for the waiter/waitress, becuase they disappear somewhere in the back. I rather go to diner. I haven't been to Outback in awhile but I remember they have great steaks:D Olive Garden is pretty good, not the best, but good.
