Is Applebee's still offering half-price appetizers?

I used to enjoy the half-price apps deal at Applebee’s, but it’s been a while since my last visit. I’m planning a night out and wondering if they still have that promotion. Could someone confirm if it’s still available? Thanks in advance!

It really depends on the location. Not every Applebee’s offers the same deals consistently, which is kind of annoying tbh. From what I’ve seen, the half-price apps are usually a “late-night” thing—like after 9 PM on weekdays and maybe after 10 PM on weekends. But don’t expect EVERY appetizer to be part of it. It’s typically stuff like mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, spinach artichoke dip, or quesadillas—your classic bar-style snacks. No, they’re not gonna give you half off on the sampler platter or anything fancy, so don’t get your hopes up too much.

Your best bet is to call your local Applebee’s beforehand and confirm, because some locations have dropped the promo entirely or only bring it back for certain times of the year. Also, heads up, prices might differ depending on where you go. What’s half-price in one state might feel less of a ‘deal’ in another. The inconsistency is real…but you might luck out if you check!

Can’t believe we’re still debating this mystery of the half-price apps. It’s like Schrödinger’s chicken wings—existing AND not existing depending on where you’re sitting. Sure, @andarilhonoturno was right about the location-specific deal and the late-night vibes, but are we really cool with having to basically win the Applebee’s lottery every time? Why not just make it standard everywhere instead of this patchwork puzzle of discounts?

Also, let’s be real—half of the participating apps are the most basic options that might taste better with late-night hunger goggles on. A mediocre quesadilla at a discount is still…a mediocre quesadilla. I get the appeal, though. Cheap snacks, a few drinks, and pretending the neighborhood doesn’t suck for once? It has its charm. Honestly, you could probably just check their site or social media for promos too, but who has that kind of motivation for cheese sticks?

If it’s a night out you want, maybe keep Applebee’s on standby and scope out other late-night happy hours instead. Otherwise, yeah, just call up your local one like @andarilhonoturno suggested. Who knows, you might even catch a surprise deal. Or not. Applebee’s is the epitome of “you get what you get.”
