Diabetics must resist their temptations when dining at Applebee's. Most of the items on Applebee's menu is either stuffed with sodium or sugar. You must be extra careful and pick low-sugar and low-sodium diet at Applebee's if you are diabetic.
Foods to Avoid at Applebee's for Diabetics:
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. You must also skip Brunch Burger, Quesadilla Burger, Triple Bacon Burger, and Whiskey Bacon Burger at Applebee's. High sodium intake can be lethal for a high blood pressure candidate.

Food Suggestions to Maintain Cholesterol Level at Applebee's
I'm generally not the kind of person who reviews restaurant chains. For the most part, we all know what to expect before we walk in the door. There are some exceptions... some good, some bad. This Applebee's experience falls into the terrible column (yes, I just added a column). I must preface this review before I continue. I grew up in Utah for the first 34 years of my life. I recently moved to Austin, Texas. With that said, I'm very familiar with the draconian liquor laws citizens in Utah have to put up with, but this place took it to a new level. It's easier to order a beer at Temple Square than this Applebee's location. I had to do some last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I decided to pop-in to Applebee's for a few beers after I finished up. I knew I would have to order food with my beer. Most restaurant chains in the area have a restricted beer/liquor license that require people to order food with their alcohol. I knew this going in, so I wasn't offended when she asked me if I was going to order food. After I placed my order, she asked to see my ID. I'm 36 years old, and can pass for anywhere between 35-45. Apparently, it's this franchise's policy to have a second person check the ID. I would understand another round of verification if I looked younger, or was acting weird, but this seemed overboard. To make things worse, it took her 10 minutes to track down the manager to verify my Texas-issued driver's license. Once she verified my ID, she brought out my beer and salad wedge. I sat quietly at the bar and worked on my laptop for an hour. She brought out a second beer, without giving me static. I ordered a third beer (in the span of 2 hours) and things got weird. She told me that she was going to have to cut me off at 3 (company policy I guess). That was fine by me, I wasn't planning on ordering more, but it seemed weird that she mentioned this before I even asked for another one. I understand she was playing it by the book, but it seemed strange that she was so adamant about enforcing rules before they were broken. I'm not sure if this location had been penalized for violations in the past, but the way they were serving me, it made me think they've had some previous trouble. The issue that bothered me most was that she acted put out and judgmental while she was serving me. That's the first time a bar tender has ever made me feel that way, which is why I'm giving this restaurant a 1-star review.

My second time to applebees ever! Our server was the best he told us to get a chicken dish he loved and it was the best. The rest of the food we got was just good not amazing by far. The manager came by to make sure we like everything. I would go back it was nice and comfortable!

I usually come to Applebee's when it's past 9 and I've had quite a few adult beverages for half price apps. This is the first time in probably four years I've been to one where I have been 100% alert. The first thing I noticed is they are absolutely trying to lose the "random sports pictures everywhere" vibe and trying to class themselves up a bit. Their menu is still huge and all over the place, but it's not a bad selection of choices at all. On Sundays and Mondays they have a 6.99 burger. Just a great deal. I got the Triple Bacon Burger because I'm looking for my first heart attack at 30. But I was very surprised by the burger itself. I was expecting something to be over-salted and dry, but it was well seasoned and moist. The flavors were all there and wasn't over powering at all for having three different types of bacon flavored substances on it. The fries tasted like they were drug through the Salt Flats though and the interior itself was dirty for a slow Sunday, but overall a pretty pleasantly suprising experience!

I had not been to an Applebee's in approximately 2 years and thought I would give it another try. It was exactly as expected. Nothing has changed or improved - same ok food, same ok service, still serve Pepsi. I don't fault them for this but am reminded why I don't visit too frequently.

Went with some extended family for a nice outing. I can understand that eating out is a luxury and I don't intend to be waited on like a king, but when you're paying $14 a plate for a group of 16, I do expect more. This place was pretty abysmal the night we went, I felt bad for them. Our orders were bungled and took an extremely long time to make it to the table. Service was very scarce, making the final payment a long, drawn out procedure. Overall, this definitely put a damper on our family time. Tl;dr slow service, weird portion size, and poor communication between kitchen and servers. Not worth it.

Let me start off by saying I'm not a huge fan of Applebee's, or of huge chain restaurants at all. I won a gift certificate at a golf tournament and I was tired after working all day, so I talked the wife into trying it again & she reluctantly agreed. I should have known better. The decor is awful, the food is frozen, microwaved crap, and the service is sub par. John Prince should sell them off and close them down.... To top it off, they added cheesy corn to the menu as a side.... And for those of you that have spent some time in KC, TX, SC, VA or TN know that cheesy corn is a great side dish with great BBQ... Well let me tell you, stay away from the microwaved mistake that they have added to the menu. This one item along will keep me from ever trying this establishment again. Good luck guys.

Ended up in the bar area as the restaurant was busy. Waiter Reese was GREAT! He made good recommendations and was very fast and made sure we had what we wanted. I am a margarita person, and it's hard to find a margarita in Bountiful. I had the Perfect Margarita. I have tried the others here as well, not good that's for sure. The perfect margarita was ok, but this is Applebees so I kind of figured it would not be what I call a good margarita. Had the spinach and artichoke dip to snack on....average.

Bambi H.
The food was mediocre at best, service staff had their pants hanging off their ass, the waiter couldn't remember orders long enough to get the order placed. Three times he had to come to the table, just to ask what drink I ordered. The best part of the meal was the fries, and they were so salty they were barely tolerable

We usually have good servers when we go there but our recent server ruined our experience. She was more interested in talking to her family then helping us. Our appetizer took forever to get to us and then it was cold. The kids mac and cheese we ordered was kraft not the usual and then I asked for a to go box and she couldn't bring us one because she had to use two hands for one drink. We won't be back. I finally got a chance to eat out and we had horrible service.

Meh. I'm feeling a little blah about Applebee's. My ankle biter was awarded a free kids meal for good behavior at school so we hopped on over there for lunch. They serve Pepsi products (ick) Strike one. They have 10-15 year old pictures of irrelevant celebrities. Britney Spears, the cast of Cheers, and Catherine Zeta Jones adorn the walls. Strike two. Our table of 3 was only provided with one set of silverware and one napkin. We only got more well after receiving our food and having to ask some rogue server for more. Strike three. Ankle biters ordered grilled cheese and fries, while I went off of the appetizer menu and ordered the veggie patch pizza. Food came out fast, service was moderate. The manager came around to check on us, which I always appreciate. My "pizza" was a dry tortilla topped with artichoke spinach dip, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. Well, it was drowning in cheese, I scraped most of it off. Good flavor, poor execution. Grilled cheese was just okay and the fries probably win the award for best food at the table. With so many food choices in this area, you have to step it a bit.

Food was good but size of the burger was WAY SMALL for the price. I had the cowboy burger..it was about the size of a junior burger at a fast food restaurant. If was the right portion for the price I would give 4 stars.

PRESENTATION: It's like any grill. It has a bunch of pictures. TASTE: I always get the Chinese chicken salad, which is good. I haven't gotten anything else cause I don't know what else taste as good as that, I have snacked on some other people's entrees but it just seem like I would get it. The boneless wings were pretty good to appetize on SERVICE: The lady that served us was like she didn't want to wait on us. She came back to our table like twice. Once to get our order and handed our food. By the time we were done we waited for a minute to get our bill. VALUE: The pricing is okay, but I think we could get better food and service from somewhere else who cared a little more.

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.

PRESENTATION: It's like any grill. It has a bunch of pictures. TASTE: I always get the Chinese chicken salad, which is good. I haven't gotten anything else cause I don't know what else taste as good as that, I have snacked on some other people's entrees but it just seem like I would get it. The boneless wings were pretty good to appetize on SERVICE: The lady that served us was like she didn't want to wait on us. She came back to our table like twice. Once to get our order and handed our food. By the time we were done we waited for a minute to get our bill. VALUE: The pricing is okay, but I think we could get better food and service from somewhere else who cared a little more.

I'm generally not the kind of person who reviews restaurant chains. For the most part, we all know what to expect before we walk in the door. There are some exceptions... some good, some bad. This Applebee's experience falls into the terrible column (yes, I just added a column). I must preface this review before I continue. I grew up in Utah for the first 34 years of my life. I recently moved to Austin, Texas. With that said, I'm very familiar with the draconian liquor laws citizens in Utah have to put up with, but this place took it to a new level. It's easier to order a beer at Temple Square than this Applebee's location. I had to do some last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I decided to pop-in to Applebee's for a few beers after I finished up. I knew I would have to order food with my beer. Most restaurant chains in the area have a restricted beer/liquor license that require people to order food with their alcohol. I knew this going in, so I wasn't offended when she asked me if I was going to order food. After I placed my order, she asked to see my ID. I'm 36 years old, and can pass for anywhere between 35-45. Apparently, it's this franchise's policy to have a second person check the ID. I would understand another round of verification if I looked younger, or was acting weird, but this seemed overboard. To make things worse, it took her 10 minutes to track down the manager to verify my Texas-issued driver's license. Once she verified my ID, she brought out my beer and salad wedge. I sat quietly at the bar and worked on my laptop for an hour. She brought out a second beer, without giving me static. I ordered a third beer (in the span of 2 hours) and things got weird. She told me that she was going to have to cut me off at 3 (company policy I guess). That was fine by me, I wasn't planning on ordering more, but it seemed weird that she mentioned this before I even asked for another one. I understand she was playing it by the book, but it seemed strange that she was so adamant about enforcing rules before they were broken. I'm not sure if this location had been penalized for violations in the past, but the way they were serving me, it made me think they've had some previous trouble. The issue that bothered me most was that she acted put out and judgmental while she was serving me. That's the first time a bar tender has ever made me feel that way, which is why I'm giving this restaurant a 1-star review.

My second time to applebees ever! Our server was the best he told us to get a chicken dish he loved and it was the best. The rest of the food we got was just good not amazing by far. The manager came by to make sure we like everything. I would go back it was nice and comfortable!

Ended up in the bar area as the restaurant was busy. Waiter Reese was GREAT! He made good recommendations and was very fast and made sure we had what we wanted. I am a margarita person, and it's hard to find a margarita in Bountiful. I had the Perfect Margarita. I have tried the others here as well, not good that's for sure. The perfect margarita was ok, but this is Applebees so I kind of figured it would not be what I call a good margarita. Had the spinach and artichoke dip to snack on....average.

I usually come to Applebee's when it's past 9 and I've had quite a few adult beverages for half price apps. This is the first time in probably four years I've been to one where I have been 100% alert. The first thing I noticed is they are absolutely trying to lose the "random sports pictures everywhere" vibe and trying to class themselves up a bit. Their menu is still huge and all over the place, but it's not a bad selection of choices at all. On Sundays and Mondays they have a 6.99 burger. Just a great deal. I got the Triple Bacon Burger because I'm looking for my first heart attack at 30. But I was very surprised by the burger itself. I was expecting something to be over-salted and dry, but it was well seasoned and moist. The flavors were all there and wasn't over powering at all for having three different types of bacon flavored substances on it. The fries tasted like they were drug through the Salt Flats though and the interior itself was dirty for a slow Sunday, but overall a pretty pleasantly suprising experience!

I had not been to an Applebee's in approximately 2 years and thought I would give it another try. It was exactly as expected. Nothing has changed or improved - same ok food, same ok service, still serve Pepsi. I don't fault them for this but am reminded why I don't visit too frequently.

The food was mediocre at best, service staff had their pants hanging off their ass, the waiter couldn't remember orders long enough to get the order placed. Three times he had to come to the table, just to ask what drink I ordered. The best part of the meal was the fries, and they were so salty they were barely tolerable

We usually have good servers when we go there but our recent server ruined our experience. She was more interested in talking to her family then helping us. Our appetizer took forever to get to us and then it was cold. The kids mac and cheese we ordered was kraft not the usual and then I asked for a to go box and she couldn't bring us one because she had to use two hands for one drink. We won't be back. I finally got a chance to eat out and we had horrible service.

Meh. I'm feeling a little blah about Applebee's. My ankle biter was awarded a free kids meal for good behavior at school so we hopped on over there for lunch. They serve Pepsi products (ick) Strike one. They have 10-15 year old pictures of irrelevant celebrities. Britney Spears, the cast of Cheers, and Catherine Zeta Jones adorn the walls. Strike two. Our table of 3 was only provided with one set of silverware and one napkin. We only got more well after receiving our food and having to ask some rogue server for more. Strike three. Ankle biters ordered grilled cheese and fries, while I went off of the appetizer menu and ordered the veggie patch pizza. Food came out fast, service was moderate. The manager came around to check on us, which I always appreciate. My "pizza" was a dry tortilla topped with artichoke spinach dip, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. Well, it was drowning in cheese, I scraped most of it off. Good flavor, poor execution. Grilled cheese was just okay and the fries probably win the award for best food at the table. With so many food choices in this area, you have to step it a bit.

Went with some extended family for a nice outing. I can understand that eating out is a luxury and I don't intend to be waited on like a king, but when you're paying $14 a plate for a group of 16, I do expect more. This place was pretty abysmal the night we went, I felt bad for them. Our orders were bungled and took an extremely long time to make it to the table. Service was very scarce, making the final payment a long, drawn out procedure. Overall, this definitely put a damper on our family time. Tl;dr slow service, weird portion size, and poor communication between kitchen and servers. Not worth it.

Let me start off by saying I'm not a huge fan of Applebee's, or of huge chain restaurants at all. I won a gift certificate at a golf tournament and I was tired after working all day, so I talked the wife into trying it again & she reluctantly agreed. I should have known better. The decor is awful, the food is frozen, microwaved crap, and the service is sub par. John Prince should sell them off and close them down.... To top it off, they added cheesy corn to the menu as a side.... And for those of you that have spent some time in KC, TX, SC, VA or TN know that cheesy corn is a great side dish with great BBQ... Well let me tell you, stay away from the microwaved mistake that they have added to the menu. This one item along will keep me from ever trying this establishment again. Good luck guys.
