Its certainly possible that this is how it is now or post-pandemic etc, I am not saying you are wrong. I do want to add that I worked at Applebees for about 10 years around 2004-2014 or so, and during that time, they cooked most of the things you would think any normal mid-range casual dining chain restaurant would cook. Certainly they had and used microwaves for some items but not all that many, and the majority of the popular items were grilled on an actual grill, cooked on a flat top, or fried. This included all the steaks, burgers, grilled shrimp, and chicken items, and the adult pasta was boiled in a pot of water on a stove. Fries, wings, fried shrimp, and chicken fingers were fried. The main popular things that were microwaved were kids mac and cheese and kids hot dog, and the mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables were microwaved to warm up but were previously cooked/mashed in the store earlier in the day and refrigerated.

Perhaps things have changed, but this was my review here in 2024 when this deal came around:



I suppose the upside is that's it's only gone up a dollar in two years.

Community Reviews

Applebee's all you can eat for $15.99 is mainly about cheap sit down variety, with riblets standing out as the strongest item and boneless wings still getting praise when paired with dipping sauce. The wings and fried items can be satisfying, but the chicken quality on boneless wings gets called out as poor, and the meal can feel heavy enough to cause regret the next day. The offer also runs slower than expected, with small follow up plates and long waits between rounds. It works best if you want a lot of food and do not mind a processed chain meal.

  • Wing-and-riblet fans who like saucy bar food, because the riblets are described as terrific and the boneless wings still work well with dipping sauce.

  • Hungry diners who want a sit-down meal with lots of food, because the all-you-can-eat format can be a decent value when you just want to stuff your face.

  • People who want quick refills on fried items, because sitting near the kitchen can get wings and fries served directly from the fryer.

  • Chicken-focused diners who expect good quality, because the chicken can be seriously bad and taste like processed bites.

    DelightfulFang4108BrightCemetery5374

  • People who want a light meal, because the portions and refill pace can leave you too full to keep eating more.

    BrightMusic932yayboogers

  • People who rely on boneless wings as the main draw, because they can be oversized nuggets and may taste low quality.

  • Steak diners who expect proper doneness, because the steak can arrive way too rare.

A bowl of pho or ramen starts at $16 in NJ.
An entree at a bar starts at $16.
Local AYCE sushi lunch special is $18 on a weekday.
Not sure where everyone else is from, but I don't think this is a bad deal if you just want to stuff your face.
Can someone please explain why this is a bad deal?

if you ask to sit near the kitchen, then you can request more all you can when your server passes by to get into or out of the kitchen.
If you ask to sit in the kitchen, they can put them directly from the fryer into your mouth

Betting that the boneless wings, popcorn shrimp, and fries are fried. Microwave would make them soggy.
Riblets could be microwaved and then tossed in sauce.
Honestly wouldn't be shocked if the riblets are fried. That's how Arby did burgers when they offered those a few years back (they were shipped par cooked & then fried to heat and finish) since they didn't have grill tops in the restaurants.

Applebee's is just microwave food. They don't cook anything there. Everything is frozen And precooked and just warmed in a microwave. Their steaks have char marks pressed into them and then warmed.
This is almost everywhere. Even expensive restaurants have been doing this since the beginning

I m putting my comment right now while waiting 15 mins to get my next plate . Try to get 2-3 plates ahead of you because they put following plates too small and waiting time is too long to get the next one because of that food sits in your stomach and can't eat more. I m kinda pissed.

They're their own Sysco. They're a billion-dollar corporation. Unfortunately the food is much more processed than I thought, with ingredients I try to avoid. The riblets are one of the only acceptable items imo and make this deal.
