Kid’s sporting events, homework sessions, after-school clubs – Oh my! Being a mom can be a busy task. Add in the daily duties, work and the kids’ school activities and I can be a mess by dinnertime. This is especially true if we are running late in the morning and I just forget to take something out. Come on, we have all done it. Right? My solution: Applebee’s Carside To Go is What’s for Dinner!
Applebee’s To Go allows me to order all of our favorites online or by-phone. You get to select from the full extensive menu of delicious options including kid’s meals and appetizers. Yum, right? From Chicken Mac N Cheese to Bourbon Street Steak, there is something to tempt even the picky eaters while keeping mom and dad happy too.
Imagine a world where you can have a delicious meal from Applebee’s right in your own home. All the comforts of being in your own space with the goodness of your favorite local eats! Take a minute to really consider what this means.
Undressed, in your pjs or just want to shuck those stinky work boots and relax? No problem!
Hyper kids that take one bit and run? I’ve right there with you. No problem!
Like to watch the tube while you dine because otherwise you would never get to catch up on your favorite shows? No problem!
Ordering is simple. Select your meals from the menu online or in the app and checkout. When you select the Carside option during the ordering process online or in the app, you’ll be asked to input your vehicle make, model and color. This feature is there to help the Applebee’s team locate your vehicle when you arrive. Once your order is placed, you are told what time your meal will be ready for pickup.
Once you arrive to the restaurant, park in the designated spots outside and an Applebee’s team member will deliver your order. For us, our carside pickup location is in front of the fence blocking their dumpsters. I know it is not the best but maybe it was the only solution since they do not have any front door parking spaces. Since we never have to get out of the car to collect our Applebee’s To Go, it really makes no difference to me.
Note – I was rushing and walked halfway to the door on my first pickup. This is not typical and I had a dua moment when the Applebee’s employee meet me halfway and reminded me that they are happy to come to my car. Heck, my most recent experience was in the pouring rain and they still came out with our Carside To Go with a smile on their face. Now, that is great service!
Applebee’s To Go is “What’s for Dinner”
Our most recent experience – We were totally having a weird back to school day. Tons of forms to get my teens all settled with my eight year old in tow. He was grumbling as he followed us around while watching YouTube way too loud. It was a stressful moment for sure. Of course, we were rushing along and realized it was nearly 5pm and dad was about to get off of work. Oops! Not my best with it mom moment.
To take a blah day into a better evening, I ordered Applebee’s Carside To Go and let them take the dinner wheel! This round was a quickie since the kids grazed for most of the day at home. So, I went with things to make Pop “aka dad” smile including his favorite: The Classic Combo. This appetizer offers a bit of the best bar style foods out there including Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Mozzarella Sticks, Boneless Buffalo Wings and Chicken Quesadilla.
Can you say, give me pretty please? It is a lot and perfect for sharing. So, I didn’t have to be worried if Elliot snagged a mozzarella stick from his plate. True to his nature, he did too.
Now that dad is all too happy, what about me? Grilled Chicken Wonton Tacos are my life! Seriously, I love the crunchy shell paired with a seasoned chicken and out of this world coleslaw. It is my go-to item no matter if we order in the restaurant or online. It maybe listed as an appetizer but it is all I need to feel content with my meal. After all, there is no rule against what’s for dinner. As long as mom is happy, everyone is.
Now don’t misunderstand me. Most orders are full dinner blow outs with steak, Applebee’s famous ribs and even a Oriental Chicken Salad or two. They deliver quality no matter the order size, occasion, time of day or location you choice to partake in. All in all, one of our favorite ways to do, “What’s for Dinner.”
