This is one of the smaller Applebee's with limited seating and a smaller menu with limited choices. Granted, Ashland is not a metropolis by any means, but we should still get a regular menu with all the choices. Anyway, the service is a tad slow for the amount of people that are working and the limited amount of people they can seat. I always rate the percentage I'll tip by how often my drink glass goes empty and I must say, the waitstaff at Applebee's consistently gets a lower percentage tip from me because I am always waiting for a refill on my water. My husband has the same policy with his coffee cup. We're good tippers and it starts out at a 20% tip and only goes down from there. Sorry, Applebee's waitstaff, but fill the water glasses and coffee cups more often and you'll get better tips!
