[Baracco, Andrew W]

You can still order the old fashioned way at Applebee's but the change
comes when it is time to pay the bill.

At least with Appleby's , you can check out their menu online in advance
so 
that you have some idea what you want to order before you eat there.  I
ate 
lunch at a nearby Appleby's in the Bronx about a month ago, and they
still 
took orders the old-fashioned way: by waiter.  Before my visit, I
checked 
the menu first online and decided what I wanted to order so that I would
not 
have to ask the waiter for help reading off the various menu choices. 
Apparently, no touchscreen tablets at this location yet.
