Exterior of Applebee's
Applebee's is one of the most popular casual dining chains in the US, and it's having a moment right now.
  • I tried Applebee's for the first time to see which menu items were the tastiest.
  • The chicken-tortilla soup was delicious but I wish I got a bigger portion for the price.
  • The quesadilla burger and chocolate meltdown cake were definitely worth ordering again.

As fast-food prices increase, casual sit-down restaurant chains are swooping in to target budget-conscious diners with deals and special menu items.
