Applebee’s reintroduces discontinued 'all-you-can-eat' promotion with six options for $12.99

APPLEBEE’S has brought back a previously discontinued all-you-can-eat deal for $12.99 per person.

Customers will have six options to choose from plus unlimited sides.

Applebee’s has reintroduced its all-you-can-eat boneless wings deal, starting August 7.

For just $12.99 per person, customers can order unlimited wings in the following flavors:

• Classic Buffalo
• Honey BBQ
• Sweet Asian chile
• Garlic parmesan
• Extra hot Buffalo
• Honey pepper

Customers don’t have to stick with just one but can try all the different sauces with each order.

What’s more, the deal includes bottomless classic fries, signature coleslaw, and blue cheese or house-made buttermilk ranch.

This offer is available for dine-in customers only at participating locations nationwide.

It is the first time Applebee’s has brought back the popular promotion since it was last available in March.

The chain also previously offered endless wings, riblets, and double crunch shrimp for $14.99 in January.

KEEP IT CASUAL

Casual restaurant chains like Applebee’s are offering great value for dine-in customers compared to fast food restaurants.

Fast food menu prices are up an average of 8.2 percent this year, whereas the rise at full-service restaurants has been just 0.1 percent, according to data from the US Department of Labor.

Another restaurant keeping prices low is Chili’s.

The chain’s 3 For Me combo features an unlimited soft drink, an entrée, and an appetizer for just $10.99.

Customers can choose from entrées like a burger and fries, cajun shrimp pasta, and even a 6oz steak.

APPLEBEE’S CLOSURES

But it’s not all good news for budget-conscious diners.

Applebee’s has warned that around 35 restaurants could close this year.

President Tony Moralejo recently explained on an earnings call that the closures are in part due to the changing customer behaviors following the pandemic.

He also revealed that some franchisees couldn’t renew the leases on their buildings.

Meanwhile, Outback Steakhouse has introduced five new summer menu items.

And the chief executive officer of Texas Roadhouse has hinted that prices could be going up.
