Solidly Mediocre
Riddle time: What do you get when you combine 130 taps with an Applebee's kitchen? An Applebee's that serves old beer. The food selection is seems too broad to be made exclusively on-site and you simply can't move enough of those niche beers without it aging and the tap lines needing thorough cleaning. All of that blends into a uniquely "meh" experience, and it just keeps declining. I've made my disappointment known to two bartenders and a manager, each expressed a shallow corporate written concern and dismissed me quickly as the card was authorized to pay the check. The attitude was unexpected since, they had asked how I enjoyed the experience, so I answered. Don't like negative feedback? Don't ask for it. At this point, I'm just avoiding any holding of Darden, especially Yard House. It just isn't that good.
