Applebee's Menu Prices and Calories
Updated September 8, 2026 · by Menu Almanac Editors
There's no national Applebee's price list. Franchisees set their own prices, so a 12 oz. Ribeye in Carmel, Indiana doesn't have to cost what it costs in Evansville. What you get here is a reference price for all 88 items across 20 categories, sitting next to the calorie count Applebee's publishes.
Chicken entrées start at $13.99. The Ribeye tops the menu at $23.99. A fountain drink is $2.29. And the 2 for $25 costs exactly what its name says, which is why it's the one number on this page I'd trust at any location.

Applebee's Happy Hour Times
Happy hour runs 3:00 to 6:00 PM and again from 9:00 PM to close. It's dine-in only. That's when the core appetizers go half price: Mozzarella Sticks drop from $9.99 to $5.00, a Chicken Quesadilla from $11.99 to $6.00, and Boneless Wings from $12.99 to $6.50.
Drink deals are set by each restaurant, and six states ban them outright: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, North Carolina, Alaska and Utah. Through November 15, 2026, the national drink offer is the $6 Spooky Sips menu instead.
The full happy hour guide covers late night times, which half price app is the best deal, and the Oklahoma rule most lists still get wrong.
Applebee's Drink Menu Prices
Drinks come in three price tiers. Fountain drinks and iced tea cost $2.29 to $2.99. A Dirty Fountain Soda is $3.99. Signature cocktails start at $9.99 for a Mucho Blue Hawaiian and top out at $11.99 for a Top Shelf Long Island Iced Tea.
The exception right now is Halloween. Through November 15, 2026, the Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice are $6, and the Tropical Spell Mocktail is $4. The $1 Dollarita ran in July and isn't back yet. See the cocktail menu or what your bar discounts at happy hour.
Applebee's Menu Calories
Calories on this menu run from 100 for Steamed Broccoli to 2,200 for The Classic Combo, and the heaviest thing you can order is an appetizer, not an entrée. Most entrées land above 1,000.
The side is the easiest number to move. Swap Classic Fries (400 calories) for Steamed Broccoli (100) and you've cut 300 without touching the entrée. Every item's calories, protein and sodium are in the nutrition guide, and the allergen menu filters out milk, wheat, soy and the rest.

Delivery
