Popular restaurant chain brings back all-you-can-eat meal deal
With food prices elevated and household budgets feeling the pinch, dining out has increasingly become a luxury. Families are looking for ways to enjoy a meal away from home or on vacation without overspending. That's one reason a deal like Disney's "kids eat free," is headline-making news. But loss-leaders - so-called because they are products sold below cost - are not always a gamble that pays off for restaurants. Remember in 2024 when Red Lobster promised customers endless plates of shrimp for just $20? It was a move the chain hoped would help shake off its pandemic hangover. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Consumers were looking to find value and stretch budgets, but since restaurants already operate on thin profit margins, the gamble didn't pay off for Red Lobster. The chain closed dozens of locations last year and eventually filed for bankruptcy. Red Lobster's loss-leader shrimp offer wasn't necessarily the reason for the filing, although it may have accelerated the process. Nevertheless, other restaurants are trying to reinvigorate in-person dining by introducing, or reintroducing, deals that many of us thought were long gone. Applebee's is one of them. Applebee's (DIN) just announced its popular "All You Can Eat" deal for a limited time. For $15.99, customers can gorge on unlimited servings of Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, and Chicken Tenders, plus endless bowls of fries and cole slaw. The deal serves up potentially enormous portions of food for a relatively small price. The all-you-eat plan allows diners a mix-and-match format so they can customize their meals. The meal includes a protein - chicken, pork, or shrimp slathered in one of Applebees' signature sauces - alongside fries and cole slaw. Related: Disney World makes families a generous offer The sauce lineup for this special includes honey BBQ, honey dijon mustard, buttermilk ranch, blue cheese, and hot honey glaze, along with fan favorites like classic buffalo and spicy honey mustard. "Every combination is a win," said Applebee's Vice President of Marketing, Reid Leslie in a statement. Diners can add a "dirty soda" with a swirl of cream, whipped cream, and a cherry for just $1 extra.

The menu of seasonal cocktails on offer includes Bacardi Buckets in tropical flavors like Strawberry Daq-A-Rita and Rum Breeze as well as $6 Watermelon Mana Margaritas. Leslie says the drinks are meant to evoke summer. Applebee's is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and its huge list of appetizers offered at relatively budget-friendly prices. The new throwback offer speaks directly to customers' current cost-cutting priorities.

Applebee's is also hoping that offering extras like cocktail and dessert specials that are only available in the restaurant will compensate for the dollars lost when people eat more than the food costs. Applebee's All You Can Eat deal is available for in-house dining only.

Applebee's fan favorite deal returns
By Published: Updated: Applebee's All You Can Eat (AYCE) specials are back in restaurants nationwide today. The restaurant chain is allowing customers to enjoy Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, and Chicken Tenders with endless fries. This marks Chicken Tenders' AYCE debut, and it comes with the choice of 8 delectable sauces, including Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, and Spicy Honey Mustard. 'Every combination is a win when it comes to our All You Can Eat Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, and Chicken Tenders,' said Reid Leslie, vice president of marketing. '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.' The popular deal is running for a limited time and starts at $15.99 per person. The special comes in the midst of the restaurant chain's 'Lookin' Good' reimaging program, a multi-year effort aiming to make the look and feel of locations meet customer expectations. Applebee's is implementing the plan to help the chain climb out of its longtime financial struggles. Before the plan was initiated, around 300 Applebee's were closed between 2016 and 2023. The restaurant chain went on to shutter up to 35 restaurants closed in 2024. Applebee's employees and customers have also been adjusting to Toast Go handhelds and its kitchen display systems. Despite the changes, the brand suffered a 4.7 percent decline in sales during last year's fourth quarter. When not enjoying scrumptious AYCE food and Toast Go technology, customers can enjoy Strawberry Daq-A-Rita, Rum Breeze, or Part on the Beach Bacardi Buckets. The buckets feature $6 Watermelon Mana Margaritas containing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Teremana Tequila Blanco. Guests can also enjoy the restaurant chain's new dirty fountain sodas.

Applebee's fan favorite deal returns... with a tasty twist

The restaurant chain went on to shutter up to up to 35 restaurants closed in 2024. The program kicked off with 30 of the 47 Applebee's locations Dine Brands took over from franchisees last November. Dine Brands CEO John Peyton confirmed that 5 of those units would become dual-branded Applebee's and IHOP restaurants. At least 30 of those restaurants will then be refranchised after the revamps. In total, the company plans to open 12 to 14 of the dual-branded restaurants in the US this year. Applebee's employees and customers have also been adjusting to Toast Go handhelds and its kitchen display systems. Despite the changes, the brand suffered a 4.7 percent decline in sales during last year's fourth quarter.
