Applebee’s Happy Hour Menu, Prices, Times & Best Deals (2026 Guide)
Applebee’s Happy Hour is one of the easiest ways to score half-price appetizers and discounted drinks at a restaurant most Americans already know by heart. But the menu, the hours, and the prices change depending on which Applebee’s you walk into — and that trips up a lot of first-time visitors.
This guide breaks down exactly what’s typically on the Applebee’s Happy Hour menu, what you can expect to pay, which calories and allergens to watch for, and how to get the most food for your money.
Because pricing varies by state and franchise owner, we’ve used realistic ranges pulled from multiple current sources rather than pretending every location charges the exact same dollar amount — and we’ll show you how to confirm pricing at your local restaurant in under a minute.

This is the most commonly reported schedule across Applebee’s locations, but it is not universal. Some franchises skip the late-night window entirely, extend weekend hours, or adjust based on state alcohol laws (a few states restrict discounted drink pricing altogether). The safest way to confirm timing is to check the Applebee’s app, call your local restaurant, or ask your server when you sit down — especially before a weekend visit.
