Seriously, I would go to Applebee's if they had a better selection of gluten free options. My wife has celiac and the entire family doesn't go there to eat if they can't properly serve her.
Right now, they bring out some giant chart and you have to decipher it while cross referencing the menu. It takes longer, lowers your confidence that they know what they are doing and is embarrassing for the person having to dig through it all. Somebody at Applebee's needs to take a trip to Outback and ask for a gluten free menu.
Bottom line: if somebody in the group will have to worry about their meal, the restaurant is off the list.
