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.

Skip all the chicken dishes and seafood at Applebee's except Grilled Chicken Breast and Baked Haddock without sides respectively.

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
This is like any other Applebee's chain you visit. Same menu and same friendly service. You can have anything from a salad to a steak and many combinations in between. Their food is great and the staff is friendly. The dining area was extremely clean and the fully stocked bar was crowded. The wait staff was extremely nice and helpful even though they were experiencing a bit of a rush at the time. It is a great place to go for a lunch rush in my opinion. The restrooms were a bit dirty for my taste, but other than that. I suggest anyone to pay them a visit.

We've eaten here now on two separate occasions, and I can assure you that we will not be suckered in for a third time. Our first experience was a total disaster - waited forever to be seated, waited longer for a server to even acknowledge our presence at the table and waited even longer for our food and drink refills. After speaking with the manager, it was explained that he was in the process of getting things back in shape (this was Sept 2014) and that the generally unacceptable experience we had resulted from being short on staff and being seated in a section without a designated server. Fast forward to March 2015. Had hopes of watching the Notre Dame/UK game (ND fans, wearing ND clothing), and this experience was WAY worse than our other one. We waited 45 minutes for a high top in the bar and were then told that none would be opening up any time soon and were seated at a table - only for us to watch as they immediately sat people at 3 different high tops. Again, we waited for an unacceptable amount of time to be greeted by/waited on by a server, and after that long of a wait, she was incredibly hateful at that. Not sure if it was because she was having a bad night in general or because she didn't like our ND attire (it seemed to be a common theme of the evening), but no matter what the reason, she probably should've been in the back washing dishes instead of dealing with people. Two strikes, and this Applebee's is out for us.

They charged her bank account then refunded right away. It showed immediately on mobil account. My granddaughter checked the new bill & they had charged her $10.99 FOR A SIDE SALAD. Bill of $35.89 was questioned again. New bill came for $32.45. She paid it & we left. Looked at mobil bank account again & they hadn't put the $35.89 back on her account. SO BACK TO APPLEBEE'S WE GO. Asked for manager about refund. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE $35.89 COULD NOT BE PUT BACK TLL MONDAY. So I ask how did the $68.93 get put back. After many excuses it came to you have to wait until Monday.

We eat at various Applebee's frequently. This was our first time eating at the Georgetown location and will be our last! It started with a very dirty wine glass - had the previous drinker's lipstick and dried food particles, then our food came and my son's ribs were over cooked and extremely dry, my chicken was burnt on the edges and dry, my husbands pasta was okay, but was served with a breadstick that tasted like it was reheated from earlier that day. This location really needs to clean up their act - and to boot our waitress acted like she'd rather be anywhere but there! We appreciate Applebee's consistent quality from location to location but were disappointed with our experience at Georgetown.

Bring you own salad dressing.....choices are limited. Who serves a Margarita in a martini glass.....but you get about 3 drink worth. Food was good though. My first time in KY, and it was enjoyable.

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.
