Lunch at Applebee's

550 Calories 

Roma Pepper Steak and

 A Fiesta chicken Chopped Salad

     Had lunch today at the Edgewood South Braddock Ave Applebee's after the gym. With my wife Paula, brother George and sister-in-law Kathy. Very nice lunch. Our waitresses name was Shawnta and She was polite, friendly and very professional. The salad would have been plenty for lunch; it was large. I was in the mood for a steak and a salad as well.  The Fiesta salad consisted of chopped lettuce tossed with black bean corn salsa, roasted red peppers and onions, tortilla strips, white cheddar and spicy jalapeno dressing, mounded nicely with chimichurri glazed grilled chicken. I asked for extra dressing and that was a spicy salad.  In a rating of 1 to 10  with 10 being the best, I give it a 10 over all and a 10 on spiciness.  

     On to the main course. I had the  Roma pepper steak off the 550 calorie menu. The Roma pepper steak came with chunky pepper relish piled over a 7 oz sirloin. Served with red potatoes and a large grilled portobello mushroom cap stuffed with a creamy white wine artichoke cheese spread.

The potatoes were nice and soft. The portobello mushroom was fantastic it had a nice creamy smooth  taste 

and the steak was cooked medium well like i requested. Perfect!. I give this a rating of an 8 over all. The steak was good and the red potatoes where ok and the mushroom cap was excellent

Service Rating a 10
