"Have a day at Cochenia Beach and enjoy the sun, the breeze and my son, the grandchildren. In the late afternoon, at 2:30 a.m., children are hungry. Packed and decided to stop in a restaurant about 5 miles on the road on Cortez Blvd and Hwy blvd 301 (a place I had stopped a few times before. We had 8 people and were told 45 minutes, space had many open tables. Left for another place, same franchise. I have to go to Ellenton, Hwy 301, I-75. Immigrant and waited an hour. As resource-saving at Applebee's on the other hand. Come down, don't wait. At this season we have friendly, open tables and great service from Brittany, one of the best servers I had in quite some time. We had left 2 other places with red pepper, and it seemed to us, they had no time for us. I know, Coved, Coved, Coved is the excuse of many companies these days, yes I know it's real! Applebee is my place now. I had the Classic Cheeseburger, with Pommes; excellent choice for now. Thank you, Brittney, an Applebee is to make us feel at home in your place!"
