Applebee's allergen notes
Applebee's interactive nutrition menu on applebees.com has an allergen filter covering eggs, fish, dairy, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts and wheat, and it flags sulfites and gluten-containing ingredients. The company says shared cooking areas and fryer oil mean it cannot guarantee any dish is free of allergens or gluten, so tell your server about allergies.

Applebee's menu questions
What is Applebee's 2 for $25?
Applebee's 2 for $25 is a bundle that includes one appetizer and two entrees from a set menu for $25 before tax and tip. The entree list changes from time to time as new dishes rotate in. Prices and participation can vary by restaurant, so check your local menu.
What time does Applebee's open and close?
Most Applebee's restaurants open around 11 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. or midnight, depending on the location and the day. Because most are franchised, hours can differ from one restaurant to the next, so look up your location on applebees.com before you go, especially late at night.
Does Applebee's have a rewards program?
Yes. Club Applebee's is free to join and focuses on member perks rather than points. Members get exclusive offers and early access to new products and promotions; in 2025, for example, the Date Night Pass contest was open only to members. Applebee's has also partnered with Wyndham Rewards on to-go orders.
Does Applebee's still have All You Can Eat?
Applebee's brought back All You Can Eat for a limited time in summer 2026 at $15.99, covering boneless wings, riblets and Double Crunch Shrimp with endless fries. It is dine-in only with no sharing or to-go. The deal returns periodically, so check your restaurant's current menu before you go.
Does Applebee's have half-price appetizers?
Many Applebee's restaurants have offered half-price appetizers during late-night hours, often starting around 9 p.m., on items like Boneless Wings, Mozzarella Sticks and Spinach Artichoke Dip. The deal is dine-in only and not every location runs it, so ask your restaurant before ordering.
Does Applebee's serve breakfast?
No. Applebee's serves lunch and dinner, with most restaurants opening around 11 a.m. If you want breakfast from the same parent company, IHOP is Applebee's sister brand under Dine Brands, and a few locations house both restaurants under one roof. Check the locator for those.
