Applebee’s Menu with Prices and Calories

Applebee's menu

Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar cooks a wide American board from a bar-led dining room. The Applebee’s menu runs from boneless wings and riblets through sirloins, skillets and pasta. Kitchens fire steaks to order and glaze the ribs twice before they reach the table.

Riblets built the reputation, and they still arrive on a platter under a sweet glaze. Bar seats carry their own draw, with margaritas mixed to order and a rotating drink promotion.

The short answer

The Applebee’s menu covers appetizers, burgers, handhelds, steaks, ribs, seafood, pasta, salads, bowls, sides, desserts, kids plates and a full bar list. Every row below carries one calorie figure and one price. Riblets, boneless wings and the Quesadilla Burger are the names people search for most.

Applebee’s Menu Prices and Calories

The Applebee’s menu is built around a bar and grill kitchen that runs one board from open to close. Riblets, boneless wings and hand-battered fish anchor the fryer, while sirloins and salmon come off the grill. Sections below follow the order a server works through.

Skillets arrive still sizzling, and pasta bowls come tossed to order in the pan. Allergen declarations for these dishes live on the what each dish declares, item by item. Portions scale up through platters and party trays.

Applebee’s Appetizers Menu Prices

Boneless Wings arrive tossed in Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ or Sweet Asian Chile and and they come by the plate or by the platter. Mozzarella Sticks fry to order beside the beer cheese dip. Chicken Wonton Tacos sit at the light end of the Applebee’s menu starters, a long way under the nachos and the loaded fries.

Applebee’s Burgers Menu Prices

Burgers on the Applebee’s menu come on a toasted bun with fries alongside. Quesadilla Burger swaps that bun for a folded Mexi-ranch quesadilla, which is why it reads heavier than the Classic Bacon Cheeseburger. Impossible Cheeseburger holds the plant-based slot.

What to Expect Inside an Applebee’s

Applebee’s runs a full-service dining room with the bar at its centre. A host seats you, a server takes the order, and the kitchen sends plates out as they come up. Booths line the walls and high-tops fill the bar side. Televisions run above the bar.

Carside To Go pulls into marked bays outside, and a runner brings the bag out to the car. Delivery goes through the app and the website. Kids get their own menu and crayons at the table. The room gets loudest across the afternoon and the late-night bar windows.
