Applebee's Launched a 3-Course Meal Option—And It's Just $11.99

Applebee's is all about "eating good in the neighborhood," and it seems the restaurant chain has come up with a new way for us to do just that.

The company announced Sept. 4 that it was launching the 3-Course Meal, a limited-time-only menu option that provides "the ultimate dining experience" with some of its most popular dishes. Customers get to pick from different menu items to create their perfect three-course dinner, all for $11.99.

All in all, there are 15 different dishes available as part of the 3-Course Menu, and they're a mix of salads, appetizers and entrees. Course 1 can be either a House or Caesar salad, while the choices for Course 2 include Boneless Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Crunchy Onion Rings. Finally, Course 3 can be Three-Cheese Chicken Penne with a breadstick, the Classic Cheeseburger with Fries or the Shrimp Wonton Stir-Fry. There are six more entree selections, too, but their availability depends on which Applebee's location you go to.

All that food for $11.99 is a deal you won't find many other places. The only thing missing is dessert, but of course, Applebee's has plenty of those, too—if you still have room after your first three courses.

Like Applebee's, a lot of restaurant chains have birthday songs. Click HERE to read our ranking of the best ones.
