Applebee's Menu Prices at a Glance
Applebee's competes on deals more than on everyday list prices. A burger here costs a little more than at some rival casual dining chains, but few guests pay full price. With 2 for $25, the $9.99 meal deal, half price happy hour appetizers and the drink of the month, there is usually a cheaper way to order the same food.
The prices below are national averages checked across several states. Most restaurants are franchise owned, so prices differ by city, and deals such as the Dollarita and late night happy hour are decided by each operator.
Quick answer: happy hour is 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday with half price appetizers and $5 cocktails. 2 for $25 gives you one appetizer and two entrees. A Classic Bacon Cheeseburger is $14.99, and the $9.99 Really BIG Meal Deal is the cheapest full plate.

Loaded Nachos (1,290) and Spinach and Artichoke Dip (1,170) both beat every burger, and the Riblets Party Platter passes 2,800. For lighter choices, Grilled Salmon (480) and Cedar Grilled Lemon Chicken (580) are full entrees for less than half the calories of the average plate.
