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
Three of the items I ordered they were out of, Tomatoe basil soup, french onion and wedding soup. The waiter suggested the chicken berry salad, he stated the chicken was cooked to order. When the salad came out the chicken was reheated and I literally had one strawberry on my salad. Afterward the waiter mentioned he wa pre-med and asked us to donate to charity. I wrote a complaint to the corporate office on 07-01-2012 and over a month later there i still no response. DO NOT GO TO APPLEBEES

Lunch special is good deal. $7 for all you can eat sald, soup/chili, breadsticks. Salad was presented in a small kidney shaped dish which made it really difficult to eat. French onion soup ok, but chili was greasy. Breadsticks were really nice. Staff good.

The bar staff here is great, and the food is just as good. Definitely a great neighborhood place.

The best part about this place is the bar staff. They're always great, attentive, helpful and quick to refill your glass. There are some tasty cocktails on the menu, but I think the basics are best. It's not the best place to watch a game, as their TVs are placed high and have limited selection. The seating is also strange for the TV viewing. The food here is just below average. It's salty and everything seems heavy. It doesn't even look appetizing to me on TV - and if they can't make the commercials look good, that's a problem. Sometimes I pop in here for a drink after work, before shopping at Kohls, but that's about it. I don't go for meals anymore.

Umberto Eco says Americans have a horror of emptiness they try to fill with "insane abundance." Shenanigans, I say, I just want a four inch thick steak with lobster and baked potato, and sour cream and melted butter, and grilled tomato and horseradish sauce and a spinach-salad appetizer with candied fruits and bacon and Gorgonzola, and for dessert the Leaning Tower of Fudge. I'm looking over the edge and it looks like the cliff over which the rule of law drops into a Hobbesian free-for-all. It looks delicious. I had 18 beers and four shots and I feel great.

This is a review on their take-out as I just came home from work and decided to pick up some food. The food. Horrible. Not worth the price and I wish I just swung over to McDonald's because their prices are better and well, presentation wise their burgers are better. Take a look at these pictures I'll post on the setup and the meat was burnt. The people there are nice and the person who took my order was as well. I don't know about their dine-in experience but the food has to be better because this was just absolutely a disaster.

Justin Z.
The food was great. Service was a little slow due to our server having 5+ tables. But he was very professional and appeared to try to give the best service he could while being busy. We will be back if in the area again.

Amy K.
This Applebee's used to be my go-to place for a late night eat. From experience I can say that the server's are very hard to get a hold of. Not because they are busy but because they are too busy standing around chit chatting. The last time I was there, the server took away our plates without asking. When I told her I wasnt finished, she puts the plates back down AFTER she had already stacked them in her hand. I won't be back again.

This Applebee's is never packed when I am there but is also never empty. My experience has been that service is slow and not very attentive. I thought that the addition of the touchscreens would be a good change and helpful to check out or call server but they do nothing to help any of that. The servers don't tread on other servers tables to help each other out so if your server is MIA then good luck. The appetizers are really good. The entrees are just chain restaurant food and nothing special. The drinks are drinks. There is always three servers near the front door that seem to just be hanging out so they definitely always get the door for you as you come and go.

This place Applebee's food is 'Horrible' I order 2 for $20 meal. I had order lemon chicken n it came with rice. Rice is so hard n very dry. Even chicken were very dry no flavor n chicken were burnt. I did not pay for this horrible meal. They need to fire this chef who ever made this horrible food. Get another chef who know how to cook with flavor!!!! This chef need to go back to culinary school n start from the bottom. Chef Ramsey came to this Resturant ate this food. He would of spit it out!!!! That's how 'Horrible food is. I would give Zero rating to Applebee's. They need to improve their food n get new chef. No flavor to the food no one will dine in. Food is all abt presentation, taste n flavor. We all first eat with the eyes then taste. Get a new chef Applebee's!!!!

Tuesday evening about 9:30 and sitting at the bar. Appetizers a good value and beverages aok. Bar service pretty damn good - Khaleef. Almost left due to one employee getting off work that was bitching out loud to the bartender about having to close on Monday and not getting the hours she wants or the money she needs. Air your complaints away from customers. Who wants to hear your sad story. She is probably not worth keeping. Attitude.

Mike said it best in his tip: just okay. I happened to come on a trivia night, so they had a lot of tables to just one server. While he was nice enough, I got most of my needs (extra dressing, etc) from the busser who kept coming by to check on me. My server did spend a ton of time with his regulars, so I never got a refill on my drink although I got my check fairly quickly. I do like Applebee's but the odds of me returning purposely to this location are low unless I happen to be nearby.

Zach Q.
I'm usually a fan of these chain restaurants because for the most part, you know what you're getting into going in. I've yet to have a good experience at this Applebee's. it's never been absolutely terrible, but never real good. There is usually something wrong with at least one of our dishes, like over cooked steak, or something that doesn't taste quite right. Someone gave me a gift card so I stopped in for lunch, I had a cup of chili and a salad. Everything seemed alright, till after I left and wasn't feeling well. Oh well. It just wasn't meant to be.

A friend and I stopped in recently for lunch. We were greeted by a very personable young lady who was to be our server. We found her to be quite attentive as she stopped by our table quite a few times to ask if we needed our drinks refilled, and if everything was okay, etc. I thought the $10 price tag for approximately a cup of salad and roughly a cup of soup was a bit steep, but I was really more disappointed to see one other thing, or rather the lack of something. With the exception of the skimpy soup and salad, there was truly nothing on the menu that was diabetic friendly. When are restaurants going to smarten up and realize that just like everyone else diabetics need to eat? The problem is, we cannot eat most things that those who are not diabetic can eat. I am tired of paying for French fries, other potatoes and other high carb starches and so on that usually come with the meal (and that I cannot consume) which would send my glucose levels off the scale! This also goes for bread, buns, and croissants, which usually accompany burgers, other meats and cheese. To me, the ideal sandwich would a serving of food without the bread -- and it should reflect the lack of bread in the price I need to pay. I found almost all of Applebee's offerings way too high in carbs for me. For diabetics, it goes far beyond being trendy or being able to choose a way of eating. Our very health is at risk when we eat out. I would love to see far more low carb dishes on their menu. Maybe I would eat there more!

Typical Applebee's. But I actually love Applebee's. We always go for half prices apps after 9 and dessert. This location is usually crowded but the service is still very good.
(3)
Gina M.
Applebee's are never different from each other but this one has some great servers who are super nice to you and informative. It's nice to go there because you know you'll be taken care of. Their drinks are great too. Never had to wait- even on a Saturday or Sunday. Which is always a plus. My girlfriend and I always start girls night here when it's her choice. Great location. Close to Main Street too!
(5)
Vuthy O.
Vuthy, why do you keep coming here? Because it's next to your parents' house and they really like the familiar. Not that Applebee's does any wrong. The service is almost always decent, sometimes it's really good and genuinely warm. The food itself is decent. But dammit, it's just so underwhelming. It's expensive for what you get. There are better places to get burgers, salads, wings, steak, pasta, fajitas, dessert, everything they do. That said, I understand the value of consistency and familiarity. These things, Applebee's delivers in spades.
(2)
Lori B.
My friend and I got the 2 for 20 deal. We got the boneless buffalo wings (which are my favorite) for our appetizer. I got the quesadilla burger which was good but very filling and she got the chicken fingers which were average. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive!

Adelle R.
There are obviously much better places to eat than Applebees, but once in a while, when we are in a rush, we'll pick up dinner from here. The food is what is to be expected from a restaurant like this. We ordered take out last night and when we got home, my husband opened his food container and found the potatoes wrapped in a nasty plastic bag. Just disgusting! If they miss something as obvious as taking the food out of the bag, god knows what other unacceptable things are happening here. No matter how pressed for time we are, I will not be back.

Laura N.
This place has definitely changed for the better! The staff is friendly, management is almost always on floor checking up and asking how everything is going! They're pretty fast (even on busy nights) I come here often and I haven't had a problem in a long time! Food is cooked to my liking 99% of the time. Great three cheese penne and boneless wings!

Colleen M.
I'm not an Applebee's fan, but the husband likes it, so we go sometimes. This visit confirmed why I don't like it. I had the jalapeño shrimp which was supposed to come with veggies, rice, and black bean corn salsa. Well the salsa was not present on my plate at all. The shrimp tasted like they were seasoned with old bay, not even a hint of lime or jalapeño. He thought his meal was ok, although to me his chicken looked overcooked. And we had to wait longer than necessary for drink refills, so the service didn't make up for the shortfalls in the kitchen. Overall, I can't recommend this particular Applebee's, although honestly I've never had a great experience at any Applebee's.

Jen M.
It seems that this location is a hit or miss. Came for the late night happy hour and they got about everything wrong. Ordered the red apple sangria special. Brought the twice as expensive appletini. Ordered strawberry margarita. Got the regular. Ordered mixed veggies. Got broccoli. Only. Chicken was insanely salty for being on the 'healthy' menu! Ugh.

Sorry you're here but since you are, might as well get the 2 for $20 meal deal. Might find something good.

You'd hardly notice this Applebees if you were driving by. Lived around the corner for a year and a half and just got around to stopping in. It's actually a pretty nice little Applebees, but I must say it was the least crowded one I've ever dined in. As most do, we went for the great deals, like the 2 for $20. Ended up getting an appetizer sampler (my favorite of any restaurant) plus the two for twenty. Everything was good as usual. Nothing ever blows you away here. Portions were large so both me and my fiance had left overs that I enjoyed for the next two days. Staff were very attentive and the service was quick. Couldn't have asked for me. Recommend this Applebees to anyone looking for a decent meal at a great price.

I came to this Applebees twice with a group. Each time, mistakes were made, the service was bad, and the food was poor quality. When my boyfriend was given a gift card to Applebees, we decided to try their take-out option to avoid another bad experience. We ordered two ordinary menu items by phone. The girl who took the order said that our food would take 15 to 20 minutes to be ready for pick up. It took one full hour. We arrived 15 minutes after we placed the order and sat on a bench at the front of the restaurant for 45 minutes. The teenager at the desk basically pretended that we weren't there. Several other people sat around waiting for their take-out orders too. This was a Wednesday night, and the restaurant did not look busy at all. At the hour mark, a waitress dropped off several take-out bags in a little alcove nearby. She came out and delivered one bag to a girl who was waiting. The other bags sat in the room unattended. Finally, a waiter arrived, picked up our bag from the alcove, and took our payment. All he said was, "Is there anything else I can get you?" Are you kidding? Because it had been neglected, our food was cold. We waited an hour for cold, part soggy, part dry, bland, unhealthy food. No one said "Sorry for the wait," "We're really busy tonight," or "Let me see what's taking so long." No one even acknowledged that we had been waiting. How does this place stay open?

Phil S.
It's what you'd expect from a place like this. Loud, obnoxious, mediocre food. The saving grace is it was pretty cheap and the waiter was pretty helpful and honest about what to order and what not to order. I ordered a Queso appetizer, and it was watery. Not what I expect when I'm ordering chips and dip. Dinner was a chicken, cheese, and pasta dish. Pasta was undercooked, chicken was badly badly overcooked (charred). I guess you get what you pay for.

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.

Ordered strawberry margarita. Got the regular. Ordered mixed veggies. Got broccoli. Only. Chicken was insanely salty for being on the 'healthy' menu! Ugh.

Sorry you're here but since you are, might as well get the 2 for $20 meal deal. Might find something good.

You'd hardly notice this Applebees if you were driving by. Lived around the corner for a year and a half and just got around to stopping in. It's actually a pretty nice little Applebees, but I must say it was the least crowded one I've ever dined in. As most do, we went for the great deals, like the 2 for $20. Ended up getting an appetizer sampler (my favorite of any restaurant) plus the two for twenty. Everything was good as usual. Nothing ever blows you away here. Portions were large so both me and my fiance had left overs that I enjoyed for the next two days. Staff were very attentive and the service was quick. Couldn't have asked for me. Recommend this Applebees to anyone looking for a decent meal at a great price.

the menu is the menu - you know what they have. Service is dicey here. Last time we were there...totally understaffed. The servers were pleasant, but over worked

I came to this Applebees twice with a group. Each time, mistakes were made, the service was bad, and the food was poor quality. When my boyfriend was given a gift card to Applebees, we decided to try their take-out option to avoid another bad experience. We ordered two ordinary menu items by phone. The girl who took the order said that our food would take 15 to 20 minutes to be ready for pick up. It took one full hour. We arrived 15 minutes after we placed the order and sat on a bench at the front of the restaurant for 45 minutes. The teenager at the desk basically pretended that we weren't there. Several other people sat around waiting for their take-out orders too. This was a Wednesday night, and the restaurant did not look busy at all. At the hour mark, a waitress dropped off several take-out bags in a little alcove nearby. She came out and delivered one bag to a girl who was waiting. The other bags sat in the room unattended. Finally, a waiter arrived, picked up our bag from the alcove, and took our payment. All he said was, "Is there anything else I can get you?" Are you kidding? Because it had been neglected, our food was cold. We waited an hour for cold, part soggy, part dry, bland, unhealthy food. No one said "Sorry for the wait," "We're really busy tonight," or "Let me see what's taking so long." No one even acknowledged that we had been waiting. How does this place stay open?

It's what you'd expect from a place like this. Loud, obnoxious, mediocre food. The saving grace is it was pretty cheap and the waiter was pretty helpful and honest about what to order and what not to order. I ordered a Queso appetizer, and it was watery. Not what I expect when I'm ordering chips and dip. Dinner was a chicken, cheese, and pasta dish. Pasta was undercooked, chicken was badly badly overcooked (charred). I guess you get what you pay for.
