Applebee’s is bringing back its All You Can Eat deal for summer, giving dine-in guests unlimited Boneless Wings, Riblets, Double Crunch Shrimp, and endless fries for $15.99.
The offer returned on May 11, 2026, and is available for a limited time at participating restaurants. It’s a simple deal that flips the script on fast-food shrinkflation.
According to Applebee’s, the deal is built around three main proteins, and guests can mix and match them during the meal.
This kind of deal will turn-heads, especially now, when eating out can feel like a bigger decision than it used to.
What’s on the All You Can Eat menu?
Boneless Wings are crispy breaded chicken pieces tossed in a choice of six sauces. Those sauces are Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Sweet Asian Chile, Garlic Parmesan, Extra Hot Buffalo, and Hot Honey Glaze. The first serving comes with fries, coleslaw, and either Bleu cheese or house-made buttermilk ranch dressing. Refills do not include more coleslaw.
Riblets are also part of the deal. Applebee’s says they’re slow cooked and served with Honey BBQ, Hot Honey Glaze, or Sweet Asian Chile sauce. They come with signature coleslaw and endless classic fries.
Double Crunch Shrimp rounds out the offer. Southern Living reports that the shrimp replaced last season’s chicken tenders, giving guests a crispy seafood option alongside wings and riblets. The shrimp are served with cocktail sauce, coleslaw, and endless fries.
What Applebee’s said about the return
Michelle Chin, Applebee’s chief marketing officer, called it an “All You Can Eat American summer” and described the deal as “one of the best values out there.” She pointed to the three unlimited proteins and endless fries as the heart of the promotion.
Applebee’s also tied the food deal to its summer drink push. The company announced new Poolio with Don Julio margaritas, served in collectible Poolio cups. Chin said the drinks are meant to make “every sip feel like a mini vacation.”
How to get the deal
Applebee’s states the deal is dine-in only. It is not available for To Go orders. Price and participation may vary, and the offer is valid per person, per order. That means no sharing and no substitutions. Guests can find a nearby participating restaurant through Applebee’s website or app.
