The food: where these dishes come from

Applebee's is known for mozzarella sticks and barbecue ribs. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a Applebee's location. How Applebee's's 88 Florida stores compare with their counties.

A routine inspection is one visit on one day. Inspectors in different counties record violations differently, so compare a count with its county average, not with a restaurant in another county.
