Diabetics must resist their temptations when dining at Applebee's. Most of the items on Applebee's menu is either stuffed with sodium or sugar. You must be extra careful and pick low-sugar and low-sodium diet at Applebee's if you are diabetic.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for Diabetics:
If you are starting your meal with appetizers then make sure you skip the Classic Buffalo sauce, Honey BBQ sauce, and sweet Asian Chile sauce on your wings order. It is highly recommended to skip the appetizers if you are dining alone and instead build your appetizer keeping nutrition in check. Among the steaks, you must stay away from the Applebee's Riblets platter as well as Bourbon Street Steak at all costs. Shrimp 'N Parmesan Sirloin is also not recommended. Skip the sandwiches, wraps, and tacos as well. Desserts may be tempting but it is recommended to avoid them at Applebee's for their high sugar content. All the beverages except Iced Teas must be avoided as well to control your sugar intake.
Most of the foods served at Applebee's restaurants are high in sodium. Unless you are visiting the restaurant or dining here in the group, there are hardly any options from the main meals if you wish to keep your blood pressure in check. You can rely on a few salad options though. If lucky, you may find low-sodium ribs as well at the restaurant.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Blood Pressure
Avoid Green Goddess Wedge at Applebee's. Broccoli Cheese Soup and French Onion Soup contain over 1000mg sodium and hence must be skipped as well. Skip all the chicken dishes and seafood at Applebee's except Grilled Chicken Breast and Baked Haddock without sides respectively. You must also skip Brunch Burger, Quesadilla Burger, Triple Bacon Burger, and Whiskey Bacon Burger at Applebee's. High sodium intake can be lethal for a high blood pressure candidate. Avoid ordering foods that contain over 1000mg sodium at Applebee's, especially if you're dining alone.
Food Suggestions for High Blood Pressure at Applebee's
Well, steaks and ribs go hand in hand with cholesterol. Being their signature dish, it will be a challenge to find low-calorie, healthy food for those concerned with their cholesterol levels. However, you can always opt for their salads and other light foods to keep the cholesterol in check.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for High Cholesterol
If you have high cholesterol, then you must avoid eating sandwiches, wraps, and tacos at Applebee's. While the salads and soups sound healthy, you must skip the Fiesta Chopped Salad and Loaded Potato Soup at Applebee's. It is also advised to dodge the Three Cheese Chicken Penne and Chicken Fajita Rollup. Any main meal with over 100mg cholesterol is not idle for someone with high cholesterol. So, skip those items at Applebee's.
Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
This is the second Applebee's that I tried in the last year. I went again to this one for a simple lunch with a friend, and we decided to try the 2 for $20 special again. Once again, I was disappointed -- so I must remember to honor the old saying, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me". We shared the one appetizer, and we selected the fried mozzarella sticks. They were bad and hard. My friend order the SW shrimp and pasta dish and that looked pretty bad (I did not get a chance to taste it). I ordered the three cheese pasta and grilled chicken. There was some cheese on the pasta -- I could taste it, but there was no sauce or liquid -- just dry, cooked pasta, that tasted cheesy. And my chicken was burnt and dry and overcooked. The whole dish was disturbingly dry and bad!! I know that what they show on their TV advertising and on their menus are "doctored" and "made up" dishes to make them "show" better for advertising purposes. But what they actually serve is pretty bad and that is a travesty. I think the other "semi-fast food" places like Olive Garden, Chili's, and Red Lobster, have better food. And I think Applebee's would be better off (or perhaps their customers) if they provided small salads instead of the sickly "one appetizer to share" option. So if anyone ever sees me write another Applebee's review, slap me up against the side of my head!!

arrived at restaurant at 1:30 and waited 35 minutes for salads.... drank ice water... server never came to see if we were ok or to apologize for slow service.... the place was not that busy. Finally our salads arrived with medium cool lettuce and the chicken on top was like ice (it was grilled chicken) so.... we walked out after one bite... not exactly a dine-n-dash... wouldn't recommend this one!!!

I've been to Applebee's many times before and their food and service is always average. Nothing to write home about but not necessarily poor. This location was just that, average. We were seated in the bar and we had a friendly server. The food was surprsingly good. We wouldn't have come here except for the fact that we had a gift card but I was pleasantly satisfied with the entire dining experience. Keep in mind, they do half off drink and appetizers during happy.

We went to eat here on a Wednesday night. Kind of crowded, but still we were seated within about 10 minutes (party of 2). We were seated, then we waited.. and waited. Finally another waiter came to take our drink and food order, he said the assigned waiter was too busy. We gave him our non-complicated order: appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 drinks. Our assigned waiter finally came around, oblivious to the fact that someone else already took our order. Food came out fairly quickly, could have been a bit faster. Our assigned waiter brought out our entrees - no appetizer. I was a bit frustrated, but we began to ate our meals anyway. After awhile I think our waiter know how irritated we were, so the manager came by. The manager apologized (which was great), ordered our appetizer and brought it out immediately and offered us a dessert - all on the house! I was very impressed with their ability to sense a problem and quickly correct it. For that, I will definitely return!!

Lunch was good. However my first table had ants crawling (by the window) We were quickly reseated. Applebees is good for a quick meal. I had the shrimp thai salad. Our server was attentive and kept our glasses filled. Valerie had a burger that was perfectly cooked as well. All in all I do like Applebees.

If expecting carside to go don't count on it. I waited 20 minutes before going inside and finding out my order was ready. They asked for the type of vehicle I drove and the color and last time I ordered online I went for just to go and they didn't ask that question. I waited there and they never showed up so I went inside to get my food and it took them 2 minutes to get it. Seriously I asked for Carside to go and they don't even apologize. I still like Applebee's but the chances of me coming back to this one is a No.

Took a wiles to have the server come over to wait on us. About 10 minutes. bartender at least made sure we had drinks. They were training a new waitress. the both kept walking past us saying "we will be right with You" . Service was fair. food was absolute crap. tasted like cold bbq dogfood. i complained. they brought out more cold bbq dogfood. then took the dogfood off our bill. would have rather paid for it and had it be real human food. Im not that picky but the food was sooooooo bad. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! NO JOKE. PLEASE READ THE OTHER REVIEWS

We decided to go to Applebees for a couple drinks haven't been there in a while ordered the $8 twofer ordered nachos and the sweet potato fries sweet potato fries were okay the Nacho on the other hand were horrible, that's also supposed to have green chili beef there was no meat at all on the nachos except for a bunch of fat. When I mentioned it to my waitress she was concerned she said she'll talk to her manager she came back and said sir you only get 3 ounces of meat on your nachos and I told her that's fine but it wasn't meat it was pure fat and disgusting. They took a dollar off my tab. The $3 Long Island iced teas we're OK should have just stayed with the drinks

Ate at the bar on a Sunday after work. Got the French onion soup (very good) and the brisket nachos. The nachos were listed as having queso cheese on them, but when I got my order all I had was a weak smattering of melted shredded cheese. As I was picking at them, I asked the bartender if I could get a side of the queso since they forgot it. After checking in the kitchen, she said they were out of the queso, but the manager would come by and probably give me a discount. The manager DID come over, but just gave a weak apology and reiterated there was no queso. No discount. He did ask if I wanted something else, but by that time I just wanted to leave. If you're out of something, let the customer know before you make it so they can order something else. The manager just didn't seem to care about anything. I won't rush back.

Typical applebees. The host is crazy and talks too much, the food is reliably good and consistent.
Me and my wife are regulars here! Its a fast meal when I dont feel like cooking so I make sure to swing by after physical therapy (AFC) to snag some food on the way home... We had a great time and i was going to post something last night but my battery was dying... The server was great, some rocker chick, I forget her name cuz we were drinking, she was awesome!! We had the two for 20 meals... I ALWAYS get the rib basket and wifey always gets something that sounds healthy... Food was spectacular, but the salad was awkward because of the hot bacon vinagrette dressing, it wasn't for me...But all in all great time EVEN though it wasn't happy hour... Was cheaper then I thought... Sorry no pics... I was spending more time with my wife then the electronics and basketball game that was going on!! We love Applebee's!!

2/15- Prices on the thursday wings are now .55 each and a pbr 22 oz brewtus is about 2.25 Still a great price for a well cooked chicken wing. Many places are at .75-1.00 !! Chicken wings give me sticker shock theses day!!

If you sit in the bar area, you shouldn't have a problem. One night we got stuck at a table outside the bar because every seat was filled and had the worst experience ever. Waited 15 minutes for water, after waiting 10 minutes to be acknowledged..... Yeah, ..so just -1 star for that experience. But if you go sit at the bar with AJ or Kaleigh and you will be in good hands.

This is by far the worst apple bees I've been to me and my family used to eat at apple bees all the time. Every time we go there something wrong with our order or its cold or old we went there last Saturday and I swear all my friends order was wrong as well as mine food and we spoke to the manager and she said the issue is that it was a trying store what does that have to do with the quality of wait staff and food.also gave Apple bees another chance Saturday and the same thing happened again I waited 25 minutes for a salad and to top it off my food tasted old I went with friends again I also to my better half some food home and they could not eat the food it tasted old he said and the bread was hard as a brick also my favorite treat is the blonde needless to say it tasted old again I've spent several hundred dollars at Apple bees I work to hard to have crappy wait staff and old food and a manager telling me it's a training store is no excuse...

They have "reverse" happy hour after 10pm and 1/2 price appetizers plus drink specials. They also have Karaoke on certain nights of the week - in 2011 they had it on Tuesday nights but as of 2013 they've been doing Karaoke on certain Fri, Sat, Sun. They also have Bud, Bud Light, and Coors on tap for $3 ALL DAY LONG. This is as of Dec 2013. To all you fuddy-duddys typing bad review on this place, you should realize that this location is on one of the busiest corners in the Gilbert/Mesa area, so cool your jets and stop acting likely fat grumpy self-important little pigs. (run-on sentence, I know) Apple Bees is suppose to be a fun place to eat and spend time with friends/family or a drunken stuper. I eat here often enough to know that your servers are constantly hustling to get your order out to you. They don't want to piss you off - they need your tips. So be kind to your servers where ever you go....or they'll spit on your food, or worse...TRUE TAT! P.S. I'm not in the food industry but know plenty of people who are~

Rachel Ray says if you see a restaurant with a line, it's a good sign the food is good. Restaurants know this too and I think often they create a false perception by making people wait. When a customer walks in, sees a full lobby, and is given a short wait the expectations are increased. When I arrived I noticed the parking lot was not that full. Multiple parking places up front and on each side. I walked in to see 5 people waiting; I gave my name (table for 1) and was told maybe 3 minutes. A couple of other people came in behind me and were added to the list. As I looked around between the row of tables on the right side of the restaurant, the main dining section, and the area on the left there were 8 empty tables I could see, plus half of the bar was empty. So what's with the wait? My 3 minutes turned into closer to 10. The hostess sat me at a table and said the server would be right with me. A few minutes later and he wasn't there yet, so she came back and took my drink order. She returned (still no server) and she asked if I was ready to order. I asked about the soup and she had to check (which is fine since she isn't a server and doesn't need to know what the soup of the day is currently). I ordered the soup and a salad - which normally would be the $6.99 lunch special, but only until 3pm. Finally the server showed up with the soup and he said he thought the salad was almost finished. It's a salad - the smallest one of the menu and shouldn't take that long. The soup and salad are also on the 13 minute lunch menu so it should be quick. He returned one other time with a refill on the drink I finished the soup and salad, yet the server was not around. The empty plates and drink cups sat there for nearly 10 minutes. He when he came back I asked for the check and it was another wait. All in all it was an hour dining experience for a cup of soup and a small salad. As I left, the lobby was full with people waiting for a table - but once again there were several open tables. It wasn't that busy, especially for a Saturday night, yet the lobby was full when there were plenty of seats available and the server was very slow. The one redeeming factor was that it wasn't karaoke night. That usually is a horrible experience.

Came here twice, service sucked both times... Don't recommend this location. Tried to order the crispy orange chicken the second time we were there and even after waiting and some of the ingredients were recalled! Waitress tried to help me out with figuring out a new order kinda similar to my original but I was still upset. Don't come here

Went to this restaurant for a celebration with daughter, s-i-l, and granddaughter. Got seated quickly for a large party, and our server was great. The problem was the kitchen. I ordered the house special sirloin, medium rare, which is my usual order. When the steak came (and it was the last of six plates out of the kitchen), the steak was vastly overdone - it was WELL done, and would have been inedible. I asked the server to take it back, and by the time it came, everyone else had finished their meal---I don't believe that the kitchen put the right emphasis on replacing it. When the second steak came, it was so full of gristle that I managed to get about 3 bites out of it...I left the rest of it on the plate. This is truly the first time I've had a problem with Applebee's, and I've eaten in locations from Arizona to Tennessee and back. I wasn't very impressed with this one.

Mandy B.
Very POOR service. One person in the party got grilled cheese and the cheese wasn't even melted. Waitress seemed out of it and didn't care AT ALL. Ordered a medium well cowboy burger. It was RAW!! Wasn't the first time food has gone back here and the fact that 2 out 3 orders in one sitting went back was ridiculous. It wasn't even a crowded night.

Well my wife and I used to come here every once in a while for their happy hour, however they just changed their menu and the choices are awful. No more boneless wings on the happy hour menu and the prices increased to boot. The 2 for $20 mwnu continues to be subpar and they even moved some items to the 2 for $25 menu. Needless to say, we will not be back for a while. Nothing there that would keep us coming back like before.

I love this place. It's in the same strip mall as the Fry's I am now going to and also Ace Hardware, Anna's Linens and a few other places I buy stuff at when needed. I go on Saturday mornings at 11 when it opens - which is in half an hour from now, lol - there is a bartender named Monica in there, she is the bomb. She makes GREAT margaritas and I have no problem at all with the food there. I try something different every time and I haven't been disappointed yet. The service is good and the wait staff is very attentive.

About Applebee's
Applebee is an American full-service restaurant brand popularly known for its signature Riblets. Applebee was conceptualized in 1980 by Bill and TJ Palmer in Atlanta, Georgia. At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.
Later in 2007, IHOP Corp. now known as DineEquity, Inc. acquired Applebee's and began their journey together to make Applebee's the world's largest full-service restaurant chain. Today, Applebee's serves at more than 1,830 locations worldwide. The Applebee's menu ranges from Appetizers and Salads to heavy meals consisting of ribs and steak. Although the trademark dish Riblets is a hot favorite among regular Applebee's dwellers, the restaurant also serves some amazing burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and salads.
Healthy Food Options at Applebee's
When a restaurant serves ribs as their main dish, then you can assume the diet-friendliness of their menu. Well, Applebee's is no different. However, you can dig deeper into their menu and pick some good healthy food options for sure. You can try the salads, light sandwiches, appetizers to ensure you don't order heavy items, etc. If you are really diet conscious, then you got to be careful with their steaks & ribs as well as desserts section.

2/15- Prices on the thursday wings are now .55 each and a pbr 22 oz brewtus is about 2.25 Still a great price for a well cooked chicken wing. Many places are at .75-1.00 !! Chicken wings give me sticker shock theses day!!

If you sit in the bar area, you shouldn't have a problem. One night we got stuck at a table outside the bar because every seat was filled and had the worst experience ever. Waited 15 minutes for water, after waiting 10 minutes to be acknowledged..... Yeah, ..so just -1 star for that experience. But if you go sit at the bar with AJ or Kaleigh and you will be in good hands.

This is by far the worst apple bees I've been to me and my family used to eat at apple bees all the time. Every time we go there something wrong with our order or its cold or old we went there last Saturday and I swear all my friends order was wrong as well as mine food and we spoke to the manager and she said the issue is that it was a trying store what does that have to do with the quality of wait staff and food.also gave Apple bees another chance Saturday and the same thing happened again I waited 25 minutes for a salad and to top it off my food tasted old I went with friends again I also to my better half some food home and they could not eat the food it tasted old he said and the bread was hard as a brick also my favorite treat is the blonde needless to say it tasted old again I've spent several hundred dollars at Apple bees I work to hard to have crappy wait staff and old food and a manager telling me it's a training store is no excuse...

I've never been a huge Applebee's fan but I have gone here three Thursday nights in a row! I bring a buddy and get chips and salsa during their karaoke time. Servers are super friendly.

They have "reverse" happy hour after 10pm and 1/2 price appetizers plus drink specials. They also have Karaoke on certain nights of the week - in 2011 they had it on Tuesday nights but as of 2013 they've been doing Karaoke on certain Fri, Sat, Sun. They also have Bud, Bud Light, and Coors on tap for $3 ALL DAY LONG. This is as of Dec 2013. To all you fuddy-duddys typing bad review on this place, you should realize that this location is on one of the busiest corners in the Gilbert/Mesa area, so cool your jets and stop acting likely fat grumpy self-important little pigs. (run-on sentence, I know) Apple Bees is suppose to be a fun place to eat and spend time with friends/family or a drunken stuper. I eat here often enough to know that your servers are constantly hustling to get your order out to you. They don't want to piss you off - they need your tips. So be kind to your servers where ever you go....or they'll spit on your food, or worse...TRUE TAT! P.S. I'm not in the food industry but know plenty of people who are~

Rachel Ray says if you see a restaurant with a line, it's a good sign the food is good. Restaurants know this too and I think often they create a false perception by making people wait. When a customer walks in, sees a full lobby, and is given a short wait the expectations are increased. When I arrived I noticed the parking lot was not that full. Multiple parking places up front and on each side. I walked in to see 5 people waiting; I gave my name (table for 1) and was told maybe 3 minutes. A couple of other people came in behind me and were added to the list. As I looked around between the row of tables on the right side of the restaurant, the main dining section, and the area on the left there were 8 empty tables I could see, plus half of the bar was empty. So what's with the wait? My 3 minutes turned into closer to 10. The hostess sat me at a table and said the server would be right with me. A few minutes later and he wasn't there yet, so she came back and took my drink order. She returned (still no server) and she asked if I was ready to order. I asked about the soup and she had to check (which is fine since she isn't a server and doesn't need to know what the soup of the day is currently). I ordered the soup and a salad - which normally would be the $6.99 lunch special, but only until 3pm. Finally the server showed up with the soup and he said he thought the salad was almost finished. It's a salad - the smallest one of the menu and shouldn't take that long. The soup and salad are also on the 13 minute lunch menu so it should be quick. He returned one other time with a refill on the drink I finished the soup and salad, yet the server was not around. The empty plates and drink cups sat there for nearly 10 minutes. He when he came back I asked for the check and it was another wait. All in all it was an hour dining experience for a cup of soup and a small salad. As I left, the lobby was full with people waiting for a table - but once again there were several open tables. It wasn't that busy, especially for a Saturday night, yet the lobby was full when there were plenty of seats available and the server was very slow. The one redeeming factor was that it wasn't karaoke night. That usually is a horrible experience.

Came here twice, service sucked both times... Don't recommend this location. Tried to order the crispy orange chicken the second time we were there and even after waiting and some of the ingredients were recalled! Waitress tried to help me out with figuring out a new order kinda similar to my original but I was still upset. Don't come here

Went to this restaurant for a celebration with daughter, s-i-l, and granddaughter. Got seated quickly for a large party, and our server was great. The problem was the kitchen. I ordered the house special sirloin, medium rare, which is my usual order. When the steak came (and it was the last of six plates out of the kitchen), the steak was vastly overdone - it was WELL done, and would have been inedible. I asked the server to take it back, and by the time it came, everyone else had finished their meal---I don't believe that the kitchen put the right emphasis on replacing it. When the second steak came, it was so full of gristle that I managed to get about 3 bites out of it...I left the rest of it on the plate. This is truly the first time I've had a problem with Applebee's, and I've eaten in locations from Arizona to Tennessee and back. I wasn't very impressed with this one.

Very POOR service. One person in the party got grilled cheese and the cheese wasn't even melted. Waitress seemed out of it and didn't care AT ALL. Ordered a medium well cowboy burger. It was RAW!! Wasn't the first time food has gone back here and the fact that 2 out 3 orders in one sitting went back was ridiculous. It wasn't even a crowded night.

Place works very slow the severs keep playing around and when I got my spinach artichoke dip there was noodles on the inside of it.

Well my wife and I used to come here every once in a while for their happy hour, however they just changed their menu and the choices are awful. No more boneless wings on the happy hour menu and the prices increased to boot. The 2 for $20 mwnu continues to be subpar and they even moved some items to the 2 for $25 menu. Needless to say, we will not be back for a while. Nothing there that would keep us coming back like before.

I love this place. It's in the same strip mall as the Fry's I am now going to and also Ace Hardware, Anna's Linens and a few other places I buy stuff at when needed. I go on Saturday mornings at 11 when it opens - which is in half an hour from now, lol - there is a bartender named Monica in there, she is the bomb. She makes GREAT margaritas and I have no problem at all with the food there. I try something different every time and I haven't been disappointed yet. The service is good and the wait staff is very attentive.
