What About Applebee’s Burgers?
They’re big, fresh, and affordable because they’re from Applebee’s, of course! What more could you look for in a burger? Applebee’s has been crafting the best burgers for as long as we can remember. Although burgers are a staple at Applebee’s, one thing they’re known for is their riblets, which they brought back in 2019. They even depleted the U.S. riblet supply within the first three weeks; crazy, right? 🤯But their burgers still stood a chance, as it’s also one of the most ordered menu items. This proves the variety of burgers that Applebee’s offers. Check out the following burger items they have on their menus.

Handcrafted Burgers
As Applebee’s said, you would need to use two hands for their Handcrafted Burgers. Each of them includes a grilled to juicy patty that is piled high with different toppings. I guess it’s the bite that would tell you why they have the best burgers in the neighborhood! 😉 Choose your pick among the following:
- Whole Lotta Bacon Burger (New) – The newest addition to the Handcrafted Burger family, this burger is all about bacon! You get to enjoy the same Classic Burger, only with three pieces of Applewood bacon and a tangy bacon sauce.
- Bourbon Street Mushroom Swiss Burger – If you want your burger meaty and flavorful, then this burger is perfect for you! The patty is jazzed up with the trio of Cajun spices, black pepper sauce, and garlic mayo. It is finished off with Swiss cheese and sautéed onions and mushrooms.
- Neighborhood Burger – Get this neighborhood classic as it features two stacked patties smothered in garlic mayo. Other burger fillings also include American cheese, lettuce, and pickles.
- Quesadilla Burger – With this burger option, you don’t have to choose between these two meals again, as you get the best of both worlds. It features a pile of Pepper Jack cheese along with Mexi-ranch sauce. It also has a Pico de Gallo and shredded lettuce wrapped in a cheddar quesadilla. This Quesadilla Burger is served together with fries.
- Whi*ky Bacon Burger – If you want to add more flavor to your burger, get this option where the meat is smothered in a whi*skey-infused steak sauce. It also has a stack of Pepper Jack cheese, crispy onions, and Applewood bacon to accompany the strong flavor of the sauce.
- Classic Burger – Going back to the basics, this Classic Burger is sure to win your heart (and tastebuds) back with its familiar lettuce, tomato, and onion filling.
- Classic Cheeseburger – Want to hear the good news? You can get this even if it’s not the celebration of cheeseburger month. Sink your teeth into the goodness of the Classic Cheeseburger as it has the toppings of the classic ones, only with cheese on top.
- Impossible Cheeseburger – Applebee’s also offers a plant-based option for health-conscious guests who want to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day. It has the same stack as the Classic Cheeseburger, but the only difference is that the patty is made of plant-based ingredients. The Impossible Burger is also served with fries.
- Classic Bacon Cheeseburger – If you’re craving some bacon in your burger, upgrade your Classic Cheeseburger for this Classic Bacon one. It’s got the same stack, only with bacon magic!
Burger Sandwich
Yup, some burger variants are under the Applebee’s sandwich category! But those under the sandwich category have chicken instead of the grilled patty. If you want to switch from your usual burger order, give any of these sandwiches a chance.

- Bacon Ranch Crispy Chicken Sandwich – If you’re craving a crispy chicken sandwich, then you’ve come to the right place! This burger sandwich is filled with a crispy, hand-breaded chicken breast with two Applewood bacon. They’re all smothered in a ranch drizzle, along with pickles and shredded lettuce.
- Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Sandwich – Swap the crispy, hand-breaded chicken with a grilled chicken breast. It’s got the same filling but the only difference is the smokey flavor of this one.
- Sweet & Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich (New) – The newest featured menu item of Applebee’s is one sandwich that can compete with every Saucy Nuggs. This Sweet & Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich features a hand-breaded chicken breast that is smothered in Sweet Asian Chile sauce.
