Applebee's 2 for $25: The Best Combos by Savings, Protein and Calories
How the Deal Works
One appetizer, or two side salads, plus two full-size entrées for $25. Drinks, dessert, tax and tip are extra. Franchisees choose which entrées they offer and some charge more to swap in a steak, so check the menu at your table. The full entrée list is on our 2 for $25 menu page.
Best Combo for Savings
The deal is a flat $25, so the most expensive picks save the most. Regular prices from our menu data:
| Order | Regular price | You save |
|---|---|---|
| Boneless Wings + 2 Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp | $48.97 | $23.97 |
| Boneless Wings + 2 Fiesta Lime Chicken | $45.97 | $20.97 |
| Spinach & Artichoke Dip + Classic Bacon Cheeseburger + Fiesta Lime Chicken | $41.47 | $16.47 |
| Two side salads + 2 Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine | $41.96 | $16.96 |
Prices are reference figures, and your restaurant sets its own. The pattern holds anywhere, though: pick the wings and the skillet and you get the most off.
Best Combo for Protein
Chicken Quesadilla, Fiesta Lime Chicken and Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. That's 49g, 61g and 57g, or 167g of protein for two people, at 3,370 calories. The quesadilla is the highest-protein starter on the deal, and the Fiesta Lime Chicken is the highest-protein entrée on the deal that we have figures for.
Best Combo for Fewer Calories
Two side salads, the California Grilled Chicken Salad and the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp. 320, 920 and 1,010 calories, or 2,250 in total. Swapping the appetizer for side salads is the biggest single change. The shared starters run 590 to 1,170 calories on their own.
The Combo to Skip
Boneless Wings, a crispy Oriental Chicken Salad and a Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger come to 4,060 calories. That's more than two people's worth of dinner, and not because of the burger. The salad is the surprise.
2 for $25 or Something Else?
- Two people who both want a burger or chicken sandwich and no starter: two $9.99 Really BIG Meal Deals cost $19.98 and include drinks.
- Eating between 3:00 and 6:00 PM: half price appetizers can beat both, if you're happy making a meal of appetizers.
- A family of four: the 2 for $25 plus two kids meals at $6.49 to $7.49 comes to about $38 to $40 before drinks, tax and tip.
To Go and Delivery
The 2 for $25 works for Carside To Go and delivery through Applebee's own app. The exception is the O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger, which is dine-in only. Delivery apps set their own prices, so order through Applebee's if you want the $25. If it's traveling, pick pasta over anything fried. More on takeout.
