@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!

I've never seen pickles reviewed before.

Some have really lousy pickles. Applebees have a good crunch and taste fresh.

@ajstringham are they dill, butter, sweet, other?

This is our first weekend home as a family in over a month. We are just about to head out to our first family meal together, just us, in forever.

Oh yeah, actually talked her into the diner! Whoo hoo.

Not sure to be honest. My pickle pallet isn't the most refined...lol

Dill is generally served there.

That was my gut instinct but I wasn't going to say anything.

You can often tell because... it tastes like dill.
