FAQs

Applebee’s offers six signature wing sauces: Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Sweet Asian Chile, Garlic Parmesan, Extra Hot Buffalo, and Hot Honey Glaze. Separate salad dressings like Ranch, Caesar, and Bleu Cheese are also available for a small extra charge.

Most sides at Applebee’s fall between $4 and $6, with premium options like loaded mashed potatoes running slightly higher. Breadsticks are the cheapest item at under a dollar. Prices vary by location.

Classic Buffalo and Honey BBQ are consistently the most requested sauces. Classic Buffalo appeals to guests who want traditional wing flavor, while Honey BBQ is the top choice for anyone who prefers no spice at all.

Not by default. Items like onion rings, breadsticks, and mac and cheese all contain wheat. Steamed broccoli and coleslaw are closer to gluten-free but may still have cross-contact risk. Always check with your server.

Yes, sides and sauces are available through the Applebee’s app, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Sauces sometimes require manual selection during the delivery order process, so double-check before submitting.

Onion Rings and the Basket of Fries are the most popular shareable sides. Both come in portions large enough for two or more people and pair well with almost any dipping sauce.

Steamed Broccoli is the healthiest option by calorie count. The House Side Salad or Caesar Side Salad, ordered with dressing on the side, are also lighter choices compared to fried sides.

No. Prices can vary by state, city, and individual franchise location. The numbers in this guide are national estimates, so your local Applebee’s may charge slightly more or less.

Typically, sauces are sold as an add-on to an existing item rather than as a standalone order. If you want extra sauce for something you already ordered, just ask your server or add it during online checkout.
