Applebee's Cheeseburger Guide: Prices, Special Creations, and Best Value Hacks
By Robert Thorne
Q1: Does Applebee’s offer the $8.99 burger deal all year long?
No. The $8.99 burger and fries promotion primarily appears as a seasonal promotion, most notably during the National Cheeseburger Day deal in September, or as targeted mid-week promotional events. Standard pricing applies outside these promotional windows.
Q2: Can I get Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos outside the 2 for $25 menu?
Availability depends on franchise location. When featured as an active limited-time addition, select locations permit ordering them as a standalone appetizer, though they are fundamentally designed and priced as an entrée option within the two-person bundled menu.
Q3: Are Applebee’s handcrafted burgers cooked to order (medium-rare)?
Most locations cook their patties to medium-well or well-done by default for operational consistency and cross-franchise safety standards. While servers may record temperature preferences, flat-top smash execution means burgers arrive closer to well-done.
Q4: Do To Go specials include free fry refills?
No. Free refills on fries only apply to dine-in patrons where specifically stated by local restaurant policy. Takeout and delivery orders receive a single standard portion box of seasoned fries.
