Apple Bee's Menu & Prices – 2026
Applebee’s menu centers on casual American fare, highlighted by its popular 2 for $25 value deal (one appetizer and two entrees). Caloric density varies widely: the 6 oz. Top Sirloin is a leaner choice at 550 calories, while the Whole Lotta Bacon Burger reaches 1,570 kcal. Standard price points for individual entrees range from $14.49 to $21.59, though limited-time offers like the Really Big Meal Deal provide a burger or sandwich with endless fries for $9.99.
The nutritional value can be managed by selecting from the “Irresist-A-Bowls®” or grilled sections. For example, its secret menu the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp (800 kcal) offers high protein, whereas the Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders delivers a heavy 1,370 calories. Guests can improve their meal’s profile by swapping Classic Fries (430 kcal) for Steamed Broccoli (100 kcal) or a House Salad (150 kcal with light dressing).

Dirty Fountain Sodas
The Dirty Fountain Sodas category is a modern addition to the beverage menu, inspired by the “dirty soda” trend. These drinks involve taking standard fountain sodas like Pepsi or Mountain Dew and “spiking” them with cream, flavored syrups (such as coconut or lime), and fresh fruit. This provides a customizable, non-alcoholic treat that offers a creamy, dessert-like twist on traditional soft drinks.
Ultimate Trio
The Ultimate Trio category focuses on the brand’s popular appetizer-sharing model. It allows guests to select three different starters from a curated list—such as Boneless Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, and Spinach & Artichoke Dip—to create a single, massive platter. This is designed for groups who want to sample multiple “bar bites” without committing to full-sized individual portions.
Skillets
The Skillets category features meals served on sizzling cast-iron plates to maintain heat and enhance flavor through caramelization. Signature items like the Bourbon Street Steak and Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp are defined by their heavy seasoning and the sound of the sizzle as they reach the table. These meals are typically paired with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed onions and mushrooms.
Appetizers
The Appetizers section houses the foundational starters of the restaurant. Beyond the components of the trio, this includes the Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip and Chicken Wonton Tacos. These items are engineered for social dining and are frequently featured during the restaurant’s famous “Half-Price Appetizers” late-night specials.
Irresist-A-Bowls®
The Irresist-A-Bowls® category provides a more contemporary, “all-in-one” meal format. These bowls layer fresh greens or grains with vibrant vegetables and proteins. Popular versions include the Southwest Chicken Bowl and the Tex-Mex Shrimp Bowl, offering a nutrient-dense option that focuses on bold sauces and varied textures rather than traditional side-dish plating.
Steaks & Ribs
This category highlights the restaurant’s grill expertise. It features different cuts of beef, such as the 6 oz. and 8 oz. Top Sirloins, which are seasoned with a signature dry rub. This section also includes the Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs, which are slow-cooked until tender and slathered in either Honey BBQ or Sweet Asian Chile sauce.
Handcrafted Burgers
The Handcrafted Burgers category features 100% ground beef patties served on toasted brioche buns. The Whisky Bacon Burger and the Classic Cheeseburger are staples here. These burgers are known for their “stack height” and are served with a side of classic fries or an upgrade to onion rings.
Chicken
The Chicken category offers a variety of fried and grilled poultry entrees. This includes the Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders Platter and the Grilled Chicken Breast for those seeking a lighter protein. Many of these dishes emphasize house-made sauces and are served with traditional sides like coleslaw and fries.
Pasta
The Pasta section features hearty, cream-based comfort dishes. The Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders is a fan favorite, combining sweet and savory flavors with a rich cheese sauce. Other options include the Classic Broccoli Chicken Alfredo, served with a side of golden brown breadsticks.
Seafood
The Seafood category provides lighter, ocean-based proteins. The Hand-Battered Fish & Chips offers a classic pub experience, while the Blackened Cajun Salmon provides a zesty, grilled alternative. These meals are often paired with steamed broccoli or rice pilaf to balance the savory seasonings.
Sandwiches & More
This section features a wide array of handhelds that go beyond burgers. Highlights include the Classic Clubhouse Grille and the Oriental Chicken Salad Wrap. These items are popular for lunch or guests looking for a traditional deli or toasted sandwich experience.
Salads
The Salads category highlights the brand’s ability to turn greens into a full meal. The Oriental Chicken Salad, topped with crispy noodles and a signature vinaigree, has been a bestseller for decades. Other options include the Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Salad, which utilizes seasonal fruit and nuts for a fresh flavor profile.
Desserts
The Desserts category provides a sweet conclusion to the meal. The Blue Ribbon Brownie and the Triple Chocolate Meltdown are indulgent, chocolate-heavy choices served warm with vanilla ice cream. For a smaller treat, “Sugar Dusted” donut holes are often available for sharing.
2 for $2X
The 2 for $2X (frequently 2 for $25 or 2 for $30) is a hallmark value category. It allows two guests to choose one shared appetizer and two full-sized entrees from a specific list for a single fixed price. This category is the primary driver for budget-conscious couples and friends looking for a complete multi-course meal at a discount.
Kid's Menu
Designed for guests 12 and under, the Kid’s Menu offers simplified, smaller portions. Options include Chicken Tenders, Macaroni & Cheese, and Corn Dogs. These meals are served with a side (like apple slices or fries) and a drink, often featuring fun activities on the physical menu.
Sides
The Sides category allows for the final customization of any plate. Staples include Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Basket of Fries, and Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese. Guests can also upgrade to premium sides like Loaded Garlic Mashed Potatoes or a Side House Salad to round out their entree.
