Applebee's Nutrition Guide

Applebee’s and Weight Watchers

By working with Weight Watchers, Applebee’s has provided a place where Weight Watchers members (and other weight-conscious customers) can enjoy nutritious palate-pleasing meals in a friendly atmosphere. There is a Weight Watchers “flag” next to the suggested items as you go through the menu so that you can quickly pick them out. You can therefore choose easily to eat in this sensible way of low calorie and yet very tasty meals.

Weight Watchers advises to “resign from the clean plate club” by eating only half your meal and putting the rest in a doggie bag. You will be happily pleased to see how good the balance of your meal will taste warmed up the next day as you also get an extra meal for your money.

Extras at Applebee’s

Applebee’s concept is to present casual dining with mainstream high-quality wholesome American dishes and a neighborhood type of pub. It is one of the leaders in that field. They encourage the personalization of their restaurants and instruct their managers to personally visit each customer to discuss the meal and the service. Surveys at the table, online, and by phone additionally see how customers feel about their restaurants.

Also offered is “Carside to Go” where you can call in your order and it is brought out to the curb when you drive up to the restaurant.

The employees are encouraged to get involved in neighborhood charities and events as a way to show the community that Applebee’s is very community conscious.
