Are you looking for a place to eat with your family that offers casual dining and isn’t so uptight and formal? Well, look no further, as Applebee’s is the place to feast! Applebee’s is famous for being an informal restaurant chain. I like to eat at Applebee’s with my family for lunch or dinner as a casual way to dine in and enjoy some quality time together. My favorite Applebee’s to visit is located at 4935 Graywood Avenue, Lakewood, CA 90712. Be sure to check it out if you’re ever in the area!
One of my favorite dishes at Applebee’s is their spinach and artichoke dip appetizer! This dish is served piping hot with a thick spinach and artichoke dip made with melted Parmesan cheesy goodness. The dip tasted so rich and creamy in flavor. In addition, the warm and crunchy corn tortilla chips dipped in red salsa add a nice spiciness, making this appetizer more delicious. I would rate this dish a 10/10!
Next, my main entrée was the Oriental Chicken Salad! Served with a garlic breadstick, this salad consists of crunchy white meat chicken tenders, fresh lettuce greens, purple cabbage shreds, almond pieces, small thin rice noodle sticks, oriental vinaigrette dressing, and shredded carrots. My breadstick tasted warm, soft, buttery, and full of garlic herb flavors! The oriental chicken salad tasted so good and refreshing. The thin rice noodle sticks, almonds, vinaigrette dressing, along with the shredded carrots brought out the nice crunchiness and rich flavors of this salad. This was my first time trying a salad from Applebee’s, so I was very impressed with this entrée. I rate this salad a 10/10!
In conclusion, I would rate my dining experience in Applebee’s at the Lakewood Center Mall a 10/10! I loved the creamy spinach and artichoke dip appetizer and fresh oriental chicken salad dishes. I totally recommend this place for any families who want to dine in a casual restaurant and spend time with their loved ones. I will definitely be coming back to this Applebee’s in the future!
