Default What Happened To Applebees??

I love Applebee's Weight Watcher Menu, especially their Onion Soup au Gratin and Steak & Shrimp entree.

Last time I ate at Applebee's the WW menu was gone

I was forced to have a side salad & be on my way...

Anyone else notice this at their local Applebees?

I hope they bring it back..

I ate there 2 weeks ago and it was still there. Our Leader says WW is in the middle of a 5 year committment with Applebees and everyone is hoping that it goes longer than that. That's odd that it's gone from your Applebees

Where are you from, Want2LoseCutie? I'm in Minnesota and the two Applebees I go to both have the WW menu listed on the website

I'm in NW MN and the Applebee's in Fargo and Grand Forks (both in ND) still have the WW menu. The menu itself is much smaller and in a booklet format. The WW menu was on the last inside page.

Did you ask about it? I did notice that less attention was drawn to the WW section of the menu. You could easily order off of the WW section without anyone noticing that you didn't order an "ordinary" dish. It just looked like part of the regular menu (but was also on the last page, but it wasn't in booklet form, just part of the last page).

Also, even when restaurants take something off of a menu, they often will make the dish when requested if at all possible. Did you go for lunch? I've also known some Applebees to have separate lunch and dinner menus.

BTW, I meant the whole Applebee's menu is now in more of a booklet form instead of a larger size menu. It's kind of short with wide pages. After I wrote my other message, I was trying to figure out if it read that I meant the WW section was like a booklet. LOL

SOmetimes restaurant chains will have independant owners who are not subkect to the chain's menu items, so they don't have to have the WW options. However it is also possible that it is a seperate menu that you have to ask for. You could call and ask if they have the WW menu and if they do then maybe the next time you go and don't see the menu, you'll know to ask for it.

That's how I remember the WW section before, as separate short pages within the menu, but when we went today, the weight watcher's section was just one section that shared the page with like beverages or something. It was maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the page, just a new paragraph really.

You are all right. I went back and it was a seperate menu! THANK GOD

However, I am bummed that they took the shrimp & steak option off the menu. This was in NJ. I also noticed Applebees removed it from their website menu. Bummer.

Thanks everyone!

I know!!! I loved the steak and shrimp but it's gone! Just that one dish was gone, and the tilapia. Of course, my TWO FAVORITE things! I go to Applebees more than anywhere else primarily because of those dishes! And now they're gone!

I was also bummed to find that the steak & Shrimp Skewers were no longer on the menu. I would order that every time.

Some Applebee's still carry the steak n shrimp skewers and some don't. The ones here in Central MN that I have been to recently (Willmar and Hutchinson) Don't have the Steak n Shrimp...but they do have the tilapia...my new favorite.
