I eat at Applebee's often. I Love their boneless riblets. But I tried their New Bourbon Street Chicken Andouille. It was superb. It is my new favorite dish. Our waitress Lillian was so kind and attentive. And for me to remember your name, you must be special. We will certainly be stopping by again the next time we're in Manhattan Kansas.

What a fun flashback. I started my 30 plus year career in restaurants here as an expo. Great to see its still going strong. Love the new look inside. Gotta admit I was pretty burned out on Bee's food after working there forever but it was good to come back. Food tonight was great. Our server Logan was on point. He took great care of us. Not sure about the fryed breadsticks though??? I like the original garlic bread better.

Our waitress & manager are very awesome definitely a great place to eat love this place definitely will come back great job Shelly

I just had the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp, and it's a dish that delivers on flavor and comfort. ​The dish is served sizzling with sautéed mushrooms and onions. The garlic mashed potatoes are creamy and well-seasoned with a noticeable, but not overpowering, garlic flavor.
