Every Applebees burger starts with a fresh 100% USDA beef patty smashed on a flat-top grill to seal in flavor, then stacked on a brioche-style bun with house toppings. The menu ranges from the straightforward Classic Cheeseburger to loaded specialty builds like the Whiskey Bacon Burger with bourbon sauce and crispy onions. Every burger comes with a side of seasoned fries, and you can upgrade to Onion Rings or Garlicky Green Beans from the Applebees sides menu.

Ordering Tips for Applebee's Burgers
Applebee's handcrafted burgers are made with fresh never-frozen USDA beef patties cooked to order on a flat-top grill. The lineup of ten burgers ranges from the $12.49 Classic Burger up to the $18.39 Grilled Cheese Cheeseburger. All burgers are served on a toasted brioche bun with seasoned fries included. The Whiskey Bacon Burger at $16.99 comes stacked with whiskey glaze, crispy onions, bacon, and cheddar.
For the best calorie value in the burger category the Classic Burger at $12.49 and 760 calories is the lowest calorie full burger option before modifications. Requesting no sauce and no cheese reduces the Classic Burger to approximately 600 calories. The Quesadilla Burger at $16.49 is the most unique option on the menu, served inside a flour tortilla instead of a bun with pepper jack, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, giving it a Tex-Mex twist unlike any other mainstream burger chain offers.
