It’s been about a year since Red Lobster’s Ultimate Endless Shrimp offering came to a close, and there’s been a crustacean-shaped hole in our hearts (and stomachs) ever since. After Red Lobster was rescued from bankruptcy, it became abundantly clear that bottomless shrimp wouldn’t be making a return. Thankfully, Applebee’s all-you-can-eat menu is back … and for only $15.99.
Like Red Lobster, Applebee’s has been offering its limited-time All You Can Eat promotion for a few years now. The offer has extended to include other parts of the chain’s menu, like wings and ribs, but its shrimp deal will definitely pique the interest of Endless Shrimp lovers and budget diners alike. While Red Lobster’s bottomless shrimp came at the rate of $25 per person, Applebee’s charges almost $10 less for the deal.
According to a press release, the endless Double Crunch Shrimp is served with the chain’s Signature Coleslaw, cocktail sauce, and Endless Fries. While the singular shrimp dish pales in comparison to Red Lobster’s vast Endless Shrimp selection, Applebee’s does have other delights to choose from on its All You Can Eat Menu.
What else is on Applebee’s all-you-can-eat menu?
In addition to the Double Crunch Shrimp, the Riblets — one of Applebee’s most popular menu items – is getting the all-you-can-eat treatment. Like the shrimp, it comes with coleslaw and Endless Fries, with the option for Honey Barbecue or Sweet Asian Chile sauce. Diners can also get all-you-can-eat Chicken Tenders, with the usual classic sauces such as Buffalo, Hot Honey Glaze, and Applebee’s brand new Spicy Honey Mustard sauce.
To join the bottomless food menu, Applebee’s cocktail menu is getting bigger with the addition of three new flavors for its Bacardi Buckets. With names like Party on the Beach Bucket and Strawberry Daq-A-Rita, the tropical-inspired drinks come just in time for the summer. Along with the new cocktail choices, Applebee’s is hopping onto the dirty soda trend by giving guests the option of adding swirled cream, whipped cream, and a cherry to any fountain soda for $1.
