- Replies 0
If you’ve been craving a hearty, wallet-friendly meal out, Applebee’s has just delivered the news you’ve been waiting for.
The beloved All You Can Eat (AYCE) special is back at Applebee’s locations nationwide, and this time, there’s a delicious new twist that’s sure to tempt even the most loyal regulars and curious newcomers alike.
What’s New on the Menu?
For years, Applebee’s AYCE deals have been a go-to for folks who love a good value and a great time.
This summer, the chain is upping the ante by adding Chicken Tenders to the AYCE lineup for the very first time.
That’s right—alongside the classic Riblets and Double Crunch Shrimp, you can now enjoy endless Chicken Tenders, each served with your choice of eight mouthwatering sauces.
Whether you’re a fan of Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Spicy Honey Mustard, or want to try something new, there’s a flavor for every craving.
And let’s not forget the endless fries that come with every order. It’s a feast fit for a crowd, or just a hungry soul looking to get the most out of their dining dollar.
How Does It Work?
The AYCE special starts at just $15.99 per person—a price that’s hard to beat in today’s dining landscape. Here’s how it works:
1. Pick Your Starting Plate: Choose from Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, or the new Chicken Tenders.
2. Select Your Sauces: With eight sauces to choose from, you can mix and match to your heart’s content.
3. Enjoy Endless Refills: When you’re ready for more, simply ask your server for another round—whether you want to stick with your favorite or try something new.
4. Don’t Forget the Fries: Every plate comes with bottomless fries, so you’ll never run out of crispy, golden goodness.
As Reid Leslie, Applebee’s Vice President of Marketing, puts it: “Every combination is a win when it comes to our All You Can Eat Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, and Chicken Tenders. Whether starting with Riblets or Chicken Tenders paired with your favorite two sauces, followed by Double Crunch Shrimp, or sticking with your favorite—the combinations are endless.”
A Restaurant on the Move
You might have noticed some changes at your local Applebee’s lately.
The chain is in the midst of a major “Lookin’ Good” reimaging program, designed to refresh the look and feel of its restaurants and bring them up to date with what today’s diners expect.
This multi-year effort comes after a challenging period for the brand, which saw the closure of around 300 locations between 2016 and 2023, and up to 35 more in 2024.

But Applebee’s isn’t just closing doors—it’s opening new ones, too.
The company is experimenting with dual-branded Applebee’s and IHOP locations, with 12 to 14 of these innovative restaurants set to open across the US this year.
The goal? To create a more inviting, modern dining experience that keeps loyal customers coming back and attracts a new generation of fans.
Tech Upgrades and Tasty Sips
Alongside menu changes, Applebee’s is rolling out new technology to make your visit smoother and more enjoyable.
Employees and guests are getting used to Toast Go handhelds and kitchen display systems, which help speed up service and keep orders accurate.

And if you’re in the mood for a drink, Applebee’s has you covered. Try a refreshing Strawberry Daq-A-Rita, a tropical Rum Breeze, or one of their famous Party on the Beach Bacardi Buckets.
For tequila lovers, the $6 Watermelon Mana Margarita—featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Teremana Tequila Blanco—is a must-try.
Prefer something non-alcoholic? The new “dirty fountain sodas” offer a fun twist on classic soft drinks.
With inflation still making headlines and many of us watching our budgets, the return of Applebee’s AYCE deal couldn’t be better timed.
For less than $16, you can enjoy a filling meal, try new flavors, and spend quality time with friends or family—all without breaking the bank.
