Each guide answers a separate search purpose. This entity hub keeps the brand overview concise while the linked pages provide the detailed prices, calories, availability notes and store differences. That structure prevents the complete menu from being duplicated across multiple URLs.

What Does Applebee’s Serve?

Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar built its menu around casual American bar-and-grill classics — handcrafted burgers, steaks and ribs, chicken and pasta, skillets, salads and shareable appetizers — served alongside a full bar with Signature Cocktails To Go, draft beer and wine. The menu spans 20 categories in our research, from Steaks & Ribs and Handcrafted Burgers to Kids Menu items, Desserts and Non-Alcoholic Beverages.

Popular Applebee’s Price Snapshot

Individual restaurants set local menu prices. The ranges below summarize exact price observations from our fixed Fort Worth, Orlando and Columbus restaurants on 1 Sep 2026.

The fixed research restaurants are 5370 N Beach St, Haltom City, TX (Fort Worth market), 1174 S. Kirkman Rd., Orlando, FL, and 3815 S High St, Columbus, OH. Taxes, delivery markups and optional customizations are excluded.

Why Applebee’s Menus and Prices Vary

Our own three-city research found real price and availability differences between restaurants. Prices differed on nearly every category checked, and Signature Cocktails To Go showed a near-universal pattern of items marked “Not offered” at our Orlando restaurant specifically, while the Sizzlin’ Cookie Dough Pie was only available at Orlando and not our other two restaurants. Several Appetizers and Sides items also priced differently by as much as $3 between stores, and some menu items — like Dressings, Wing Sauces and Sauces — are sold as variant selections rather than single fixed-price items, so they’re described in prose rather than forced into a price table.

Applebee’s Locations

According to a ScrapeHero count of Applebee’s US locations, there were 1,478 Applebee’s restaurants in the United States as of September 24, 2025 — the most current independently-sourced figure available at the time of our research, and explicitly dated as such rather than presented as a live, up-to-the-minute count. Dine Brands Global’s own Q2 2026 earnings release (dated August 5, 2026) confirms Dine Brands is the parent company of Applebee’s, IHOP and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, and reports the combination of all three brands at nearly 3,500 restaurants, without breaking out a separate current Applebee’s-only figure. That same release also reported ongoing net closures for Applebee’s during the quarter, so treat any single “current” count as a snapshot rather than a fixed number.

For a nearby restaurant, use the official location finder. Open the selected restaurant’s page to check its address, hours, Carside To Go availability and current promotions. Hours, service options and menu availability — including Happy Hour terms and specific bar-menu items — can differ between nearby restaurants, as our own three-city research found.

A Short Brand History

Brothers Bill and T.J. Palmer opened the first restaurant, originally named “T.J. Applebee’s® Rx for Edibles & Elixirs®,” in Decatur, Georgia in 1980, according to Applebee’s own official history page. The brand changed hands and names several times before becoming the Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar known today.

Applebee’s is one of the restaurant brands operated by Dine Brands Global, alongside IHOP and Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.

Applebee’s Nutrition and Allergen Information

Our three-city research captured calories for every canonical menu item we could match to a published figure. Rather than a separate specialist Nutrition guide, calorie figures for this cluster live directly on the Applebee’s Menu Prices pillar and on each category-specific child guide, next to that item’s price.

This research pass covered pricing and calories, not ingredient-level allergen data. For allergen information, use Applebee’s official nutrition and allergen documentation or ask restaurant staff directly, since preparation and shared kitchen equipment can affect cross-contact risk. Our full menu guide and each child guide preserve these calorie figures category by category.
