Applebee’s Prices

While the Applebee’s menu prices are in the mid-range level in comparison with more affordable fast-food chains, these provide good value for the money because of the combination of good food and drinks, fast service, and lively atmosphere. Keep in mind, too, that the restaurant chain manages to maintain consistency across more than 2,000 restaurants in the United States and in 15 other countries abroad. All of the restaurants also offer a wide array of mainstream American dishes and desserts including salads, chicken, pasta, and shrimp as well as alcoholic beverages served in the bar area.

Below are the latest Applebee’s menu prices.

History

On November 1980, Bill and TJ Palmer opened T.J. Applebee’s Rx for Edibles & Elixirs, their first restaurant, in Decatur, Georgia. In 1983, W.R. Grace and Company purchased the company, which by then had two restaurants. In 1986, the restaurants’ names were changed to Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar, which has remained to this day. By 1988, the management changed hands from W.R. Grace and Company to Applebee’s International, Inc. In November 2007, IHOP Corporation and Applebee’s merged and became the world’s largest full-service restaurant company with over 3,250 locations.

What They’re Famous For

Aside from the relatively reasonable Applebee’s prices, the restaurants are also known for the following things:

• Low-maintenance yet classy presentations of the food and beverages, such as half-priced appetizers and lemon wedge in a glass of water, respectively
• Happy hours where the delish food and drinks are more affordable yet the service and ambiance remain
• Freebies on birthdays – and not the tired old happy birthday song either since the chain has its own catchy version
• Meals with under 500 calories as well as the opportunity to ask for healthier ingredient options and accommodate your special dietary needs
• Carside-To_go service wherein you can call in your order, make a quick stopover to pick it up, and enjoy your food at home
