Tips for Choosing Applebee's Sides

Applebee's made-from-scratch sides are the foundation of most entree dishes and are also available individually from $2.99. The Garlic Mashed Potatoes at $3.99 and 250 calories are the most ordered side dish and pair well with any steak or chicken entree. Seasoned Fries at $3.99 and 430 calories are the default side for most burgers and sandwiches but can be substituted for any other side at no extra charge at most locations (prices may vary by location).

For the lowest calorie side option Steamed Broccoli at $3.49 and 60 calories is the best choice for guests watching their calorie intake. Seasonal Vegetables at $3.49 and 80 calories are equally low in calories and offer variety. Substituting either of these for Seasoned Fries on any entree reduces your meal by 350 to 370 calories without impacting satisfaction or flavor significantly. Browse all low calorie options on the under 600 calories guide (prices may vary by location).
