This conversation made me have to have pizza at work since I was working late and they catered.
I went to Applebee's tonight.
I'm not a fan of their food, but their happy hour? Ridiculous.
Cowboy burger with smokey mayo instead of the BBQ sauce. You can thank me later.
I'll thank you now; I never liked their BBQ sauce so i think that might actually be enough to turn that frown upside down. (Technically speaking.)
Get onion rings with more smokey mayo for dipping to replace the crappy fries Applebee's has. Their onion rings rock! Their fries...not so much.
It's like an extra $1.50 or something. Not bad.

Always trust a fat man when it comes to food.
Did you get a chance to try it yet?

Also, on that note, never trust a skinny chef. Lol

@MattKing , went to Applebee's tonight in your honor and had the burger I told you about. Delish! No mudslide though. I was a cheap date for myself tonight. I also went because of friend of mine waits tables there, and so I made sure to leave her a nice tip as well.

So, I looked it up and the only one is in northwest Houston, but I'm going to make the trip soon! Good man on the tipping, food service is never easy IMO.

Agreed. I found out they make like $2.15/hour from Applebees. The rest is tips. Also, they have to miss minimum wage for two weeks before Applebees recognizes it. Wow...

Make sure you take the survey too. General practice is, if you don't get like 5 surveys a week or something, you're stuck with the crap shifts like Carside to Go, etc. My friend told me she "never has that problem, because [she has] big boobs". Guys don't get that luxury...

That's actually quite the pro-tip! I think I'm going to do the happy hour this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed.

One other thing...if you like pickles, get EXTRA pickles for the burger. It gives it a nice crunch and the sauce compliments it really well.
-
Applebees has really good pickles actually, and they give you (usually) three tiny ones with the burger. Get at least 6 or 7 and use the sauce to hold them onto the burger. The fried onions they put on the burger aren't really crunchy and the burger is better with some crunch (for me at least). So again, here is your order:
Cowboy burger
Smokey mayo instead of BBQ (NO BBQ!!)
Onion rings instead of fries
Extra smokey mayo for dipping with onion rings
No tomato (trust me...wrong texture and flavoring for this burger)
Extra pickles (at least half a dozen, if you like pickles)I give you the best burger I have had yet.
Let me know how it goes!
