High Cholesterol 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.

So, skip those items at Applebee's.

    The food in Applebees tends to be very consistent from location to location, which means we are never disappointed. The staff at this location is exceptionally friendly and the wait times are limited. Food is served quickly and prepared properly. If I had any complaints, it would be for some reason this locations seems to occasionally attract some rather boisterous groups, which can make for an unpleasant experience for everyone, however not much can be done unless they severely cross the line. I would recommend.

    For some reason, I continue to go back to this restaurant despite the fact that every time I do go, my food is disgusting. The reason for that is probably the fact that the Sycamore/Dekalb area simply just doesn't have a wide variety of places to eat. Every visit I've paid to this particular location, my food has very obviously been microwaved. As if this fact alone isn't bad enough, the last time I went, my date found two bugs floating in his drink, where the waiter acted like it was no big deal and never once apologized. I've worked in the restaurant business before, so trust me, I know that things happen and accidents occur. However, EVERY single visit is a disappointment and the food is cold. Save your money and go elsewhere.

    This place is good because you know what to expect when you eat there. I never used to like Applebee's but their new menu gave me some better options and I was pleased with my meal!

    Applebee's pretty much wrote the book on mediocre food, and the DeKalb location is a model for this mediocrity. You come to Applebee's because you want to get waited on, but you don't want to spend the money to go to a real restaurant. When you discover the quality of the food in proportion to how much you spent, you realize you've been ripped off. In addition, the DeKalb location has serious service issues. The last five times I've been there, there have been major issues with the service: orders forgetting to be placed, drink orders not delivered but still charged for, neglecting the table, chatting and joking with friends; the list goes on. The only possible reason to go to Applebee's is to watch sports at the bar, have a few drinks, and eat some pub grub. It has a nicer atmosphere for this than, say, Buffalo Wild Wings where it is simply to loud.

  • Dave T.

    Decent tasting food but way overpriced. Service was good, but not exceptional. Supposed to be unlimited fries with hamburger that cost around $11.00, never ask if I would like more. Hamburger and fries at the most would cost $7.00 elsewhere. I would not go back.

    Clean atmosphere and our waiter was new but fabulous/sweet. We were seated near the bar at a table (location was fine). The manager who greeted us was pleasant but allowed the bartender to be obnoxious to waitresses as well as to him. That single person alone made the experience negative. His loud arrogance and attitude made it very clear he was the one in charge... bluntly he was an ass. He talked down to the other employees and when the manager asked him a question the jag actually put his finger up to shush him and said, "I get to you in a minute". The manager walked off. Seriously?! It was not a relaxing experience by any means.

    New Owners decided to change their chips and salsa to a mini cake pan with green and red salsa cups that resembles a thimble. Chips come out pre-crushed so they fit into the thimble. They will get you a refill upon request but management really needs to rethink their decision.

  • Nadine K.

    The food was delicious but the poor waitress was running around like a crazy person. I'm guessing because of understaffing. But serious I waited longer to get a box for my food then to actually get my food. This is ridiculous. Plus the crappy watered down drinks doesn't help.

    My husband and I have been here a few times since the beginning of 2012. The food has been alright, and actually the fajitas are better than ever... but my complaint is directed more towards the service and the attitude of the staff. Our server (Mike, I think?) was okay, but he spoke way, WAY too fast for me to even understand him. I had to ask him to repeat himself several times. It was very hard to understand anything he was saying. We came to this location in the early dinner hours last Saturday night, and our order took well over 30-45 minutes to get to our table. It wasn't busy. I really didn't see the reason for the delay. While we waited, I noticed a couple sitting behind my husband complaining about their food. One person ordered the fajitas and even took it back, because "it was too spicy". So when I saw others having problems with their order (same server), that was a red flag. Also, I should add that I saw this same couple on our way home, and at a stop light, the lady actually got out of the car, and gave the driver behind them their food they didn't eat, from here! But anyway, I digress. Our food was okay. We both got burgers. While we were eating, I noticed one of the hosts complaining, quite loudly. He complained about how bored and tired he was, and just wanted to go home. He looked like he could care less about seating people. (I believe attitude is everything, and if you're the first person a customer sees, show that you actually care, or at least fake it until you make it... don't complain within earshot. ) So, with the extremely long wait and the weird vibe I got from our server (and his inability to speak slowly/clearly for customers to understand), I don't think we'll be coming back to this Applebee's. My husband even got sick after eating the bacon cheeseburger. If we want to go out to eat at a sit-down place we'll make the drive to Geneva or Lombard.

    Just an average place. Out waiter was very nice, I don't really like chains, but I got shrimp and rice, which was very good, but then again, it is pretty tough to mess up.

    I go to Applebee's for Tuesday night half price wine. The bartenders are great. I usually get a little appetizer and it's always good. Cant beat the price for the wine though!

  • Brian K.

    This place is flat-out LOUSY. The wife and I went back after they revised their menu and re-decorated. The place looks nice, I just wish they would actually make their food vs microwaving everything. If any of you think there is any kind of cook, you are very mistaken. The fries are so salty and "seasoned" they were not edible. I had the Ruben, and it was really nothing special. We will never go back. Go spend your money at the small mom and pop places. Big chains don't need your money.

    I can't think of why anyone would eat at Applebee's, unless you don't have other choices. The food is extremely bland, which I guess many people like bland food because there are over 1,500 of these abominations. I have eaten at Applebee's. I had wings and some sort of pasta dish that was more boring than going on a date with a rake, more tedious to eat than mud, and almost as bland as plain rice cakes. I don't eat mud, but can imagine it being tedious.

    Most of the food i've had there is good, prices are a little high for the quality of food though. Wait staff has been attentive and our orders always come out quick, hot, and correct.

  • Jesus F.

    Food consistent as with any Applebee's, but the service was sub par, the hostess looked like she would rather be breastfeeding Tasmanian devils instead of having to be there. Then she gave me the worst seat in the place (which was almost empty), and I had to move to another table as I felt I was put on time out. Food came in, and the waiter brought two glasses of sierra mist, I guess he didn't want to be bothered either. Not going again.
