Happy mothers day Mom. Where do you want to go to eat? I chose Applebee's in Hudson because we have three grand childen ages two, four and almost six. I always go to a restaurant with trepidation with the babies. But, as usual the children were treated like it was okay that they were there. The rest of us were treated like we were guests and it was okay that we brought the kids. I know it was mother's day and they were supposed to do that, but I know I can expect that treatment everyday. It was a happier mother's day and grandmothers day with the family and our Waitress made it feel like we were all welcome.Thanks. I got home and my son said, "it's been a while since I had such great service at a restaurant..I really enjoyed it," The food, by the way, is really great, the portions are generous and you get so many choices.

Not feeling great and hopefully I'll beat the decision of you.

Nothing special pre packaged food crappy service

First, let me say, the food is excellent! For that I will not complain. I went to this Applebee's to have a quiet dinner and get out of the house. First, they pack you in like sardines. Uncomfortable, but not too bad. The wait isn't bad at all (well, at least it's never been for me). However, the waitresses act as if they were prostitutes, liars and thieves. I do not believe they have every been taught manners. The waitresses are absolutely terrible. After they have ruined your day they will then expect a tip. Got one for ya hunny, tip: Don't drink and drive! They were waiting on my party and, as I stationed my teenage children in another location with their friends so they could socialize privately. I, as a food critic, could get a good idea on the waiters and waitresses and the types they had. They decided that behind my back they would try to flirt with my husband by caressing and touching each other as to allow him to see this and not me. The waitresses, keeping eye contact with him as to allow him to know it was him they were performing for. This was just the waitress for my section. The waitress for my kids section were trying to rush them out. After rushing them out brought their check to me (as was asked). She then proceeded to ask me to pay for it in the middle of my meal, to take care of it now because she didn't want to wait. (OKAY!!!) I was nice enough to do this for her and when I asked her how well they had tipped her she then thought it was time to lie to me. My children were given $10 to give to this woman for a $54 meal. (I felt this was a more than a gracious tip). To my dismay she responded by telling me they had only given her $3.50 for a tip. Me feeling mortified that maybe my children did do this I then proceeded to give her $7 more with my apologies. Well, before I left I found out from the kids that not only did they leave her the $10 tip, but other kids from around the table also left her money totaling a $22 tip from all the kids and myself. As I said Liars and Thieves. After I left I contacted the manager to tell him of this, told him of what she had done, he did nothing about it. To ensure he had done his job, I returned to Applebee's the next day and specially requested her table and bingo, she was there. No reprimand had even been made. She acted as if nothing ever happened then tried to nail me again. She didn't receive a tip this time. (no go sister!) If you plan on eating in this Applebee's make sure to ask for a waiter. The waiters on the other hand are excellent. Very good indeed! They were attentive to every detail. They took my order without writing it down (the order came back perfect, may I add). They smiled and greeted everyone in my party. They never allowed a glass to be empty. They didn't rush anyone and asked all appropriate questions and waited for a response. Never felt rushed or asked any rude questions. (They never made a pass at me either.) :)

Food was great service was sediment
