Best Things to Order at Applebee's
The dishes people keep coming back for, and the little things worth knowing before you order them.
Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger
The most fun burger Applebee’s makes: four slices of American on toasted potato bread, with a cup of tomato basil soup for dipping.
$14.99 · 1,420 calories
Boneless Wings
The most popular starter for a reason: soft inside, crisp outside, and $6.50 at happy hour. Getting them To Go? Ask for the sauce on the side.
$12.99 · 1,080 caloriesQuesadilla Burger
Grilled tortillas instead of a bun, with pico and Mexi-ranch keeping it bright. It’s messy and a little greasy in the best way, so grab extra napkins.
$15.99 · 1,620 calories
Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine
The best pasta on the menu: thick noodles and properly crispy chicken. It reheats better than almost anything else, so it’s the leftovers pick.
$15.99 · 1,480 calories
Mozzarella Sticks
The most consistent appetizer: crisp outside, stretchy inside and rarely greasy. At happy hour they drop to $5.00.
$9.99 · 860 calories
Chicken Quesadilla
The best-value half price app. It’s $6.00 at happy hour, packs 49g of protein, and holds up better in a To Go box than anything fried.
$11.99 · 1,170 calories
Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese
The best starter for sharing: warm, buttery pretzel sticks with beer cheese and honey Dijon. Order them at happy hour, when the price makes more sense.
$10.99 · 1,160 calories
Whisky Bacon Burger
For sweet and smoky fans. The whisky glaze leans sweet, and the smoked bacon and crispy onions keep it from tasting one-note.
$15.99 · 1,590 calories
Sizzling Caramel Apple Blondie
The dessert to share. A warm blondie with cinnamon apples and vanilla ice cream, with caramel poured over the hot skillet at your table.
$9.49 · 990 calories

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.
Applebee's happy hour times and prices cover late night times, which half price app is the best deal, and the Oklahoma rule most lists still get wrong. For the rest of the current promotions — the 2 for $25, the $9.99 Really BIG Meal Deal and the $6 Spooky Sips — see our Specials & Deals guide.
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 isn't back nationally yet (last national run: July 2026), and no October 2026 local return has been verified — a Maryland report circulating this month is a 2017 release, not a 2026 offer — so check your local restaurant. 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 Applebee's calorie guide, and the allergen menu filters out milk, wheat, soy and the rest.
Lightest and Heaviest Dishes on the Menu
- Lightest: Steamed Broccoli (100 cal), Garlicky Green Beans (150 cal), House Side Salad (160 cal).
- Heaviest: The Classic Combo (2,200 cal), Ultimate Trio (1,850 cal), Hand-Battered Fish & Chips (1,680 cal).
One caveat before you plan by calories: Applebee's cooks everything in a shared kitchen, so these numbers reflect the standard recipes — cross-contact with allergens is always possible. Check the allergen menu before ordering if that matters to you.
How to Order at Applebee's
Where you order decides which deals you get. Half price apps and the new O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger are dine-in only.
Dine-in
The only way to get every promotion on the menu, including happy hour and the 2 for $25 with the O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger.
Carside To Go
Order ahead on the Applebee's app or site, park in a Carside spot, and staff bring the food out. You pay restaurant prices with no delivery fee. Details on takeout.
Delivery
Ordering delivery through Applebee's own app or site gets you the restaurant's menu. DoorDash and Uber Eats set their own item prices and fees on top, so the same order costs more there. Compare them in our guide to Applebee's delivery — options, fees and how to order.
Feeding a crowd rather than a table? The Applebee's catering menu and prices cover trays, platters and boxed lunches for pickup.
If you have food allergies, plan before you go: the kitchen is shared, so allergens hide in the standard builds. Filter the Applebee's allergen menu for the dishes that fit your needs.
Staying in instead? Ordering direct through Applebee's own app or site keeps you on restaurant prices, while third-party apps add their own markups and fees — see getting Applebee's delivered: fees, apps and coverage before you order.
Find an Applebee's Near You
Almost every Applebee's is run by a local franchise owner rather than the company itself. That's why the one across town might open later, skip weekend happy hour or charge a little more for the same burger.
So before you head out, look up your restaurant and give it a quick call. It's the easiest way to know tonight's hours and whether the deal you're after is running.

Applebee's Menu FAQs
What's on the Applebee's 2 for $25 menu right now?
One appetizer and two entrées for $25. Since August 31, 2026, the new O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger is one of the entrée choices, and it's dine-in only. Other entrées on the deal include the Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger, Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine and California Grilled Chicken Salad. Each franchise picks its own line-up.
What time is Applebee's happy hour?
3:00 to 6:00 PM, and again from 9:00 PM to close. Half price appetizers run in both windows, dine-in only. Mozzarella Sticks come to $5.00 and a Chicken Quesadilla to $6.00.
How much is Applebee's Really BIG Meal Deal?
$9.99. You get one entrée, classic fries and a fountain drink. The three entrées are the Big Cluckin' Chicken Sandwich, the BIG Classic Bacon Cheeseburger and the Big Bangin' Burger.
Is Applebee's All You Can Eat back?
Applebee's announced it on May 11, 2026 as a summer deal at $15.99: unlimited Boneless Wings, Riblets and Double Crunch Shrimp with endless fries, dine-in only. No national extension has been announced since, so ask your restaurant.
What is the O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger?
It's Applebee's fan-favorite Quesadilla Burger with bacon and Pepper Jack cheese, served sizzling in a skillet of molten queso and melted Cheddar cheeses, with white corn tortilla chips topped with queso, house-made pico and cilantro. Applebee's launched it on August 31, 2026 as a limited-time, dine-in-only part of the 2 for $25.
What's the highest calorie item at Applebee's?
The Classic Combo appetizer platter, at 2,200 calories. It's heavier than any entrée. The heaviest burger is the Quesadilla Burger at 1,620.
Does Applebee's still have the $1 Dollarita?
Not nationally right now. The last national run was July 1–31, 2026. No October 2026 local return has been verified — a Maryland $1 report circulating this month is a 2017 release, not a 2026 offer — so check your local restaurant. Nationally, the featured cocktails through November 15, 2026 are the $6 Spooky Sips, and there's a $4 Tropical Spell Mocktail.
Does Applebee's have a gluten-free menu?
No. There's no separate gluten-free menu and no gluten-free kitchen. A handful of dishes have no wheat in the standard recipe, but shared grills and fryers mean none of them are safe for celiac disease.
Are Applebee's prices the same at every location?
No. Most Applebee's are run by local franchise owners, and each one sets its own prices. Treat any published price, including ours, as a close guide.
Is Applebee's cheaper on DoorDash or the Applebee's app?
The Applebee's app. DoorDash and Uber Eats set their own menu prices and add fees, while Carside To Go through the app charges restaurant prices with no delivery fee.
