Applebee’s raises prices again on all-you-can-eat wings and shrimp deal
Eatin' good in the neighborhood might get a little more expensive the next time you go to Applebee’s.
The restaurant chain recently announced that its All You Can Eat offer has returned with endless Chicken Tenders, Riblets and Double Crunch Shrimp available for $15.99.
But the new promotion has been met with some criticism on Reddit due to the increased price.
"So Applebee's came back out with their all you can eat again this year and yet again raising the prices, used to be $9.99, then 12.99, and now a ridiculous 15.99 for subpar food that they don't cook fresh and make in batches," one user said on the subreddit r/fastfood.
Press releases by the company in 2022, 2023 and 2024 show that prices have increased from $12.99 in 2022 to $15.99 in 2025.
Applebee’s did not immediately respond to Paste BN’s request for comment on Tuesday, May 27.
Price increases not just happening at restaurants
Food at Applebee’s is not the only place where things are set to get more expensive. As tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump come into effect, various retailers across the U.S. have said they are set to increase prices to respond to the tariffs.
On Sunday, May 25, Trump announced he is extending the deadline for a 50% tariff on the European Union until July 9, a measure he had earlier said would go into effect on June 1.
Nike, Adidas and Puma have all said they are set to increase their prices due to tariffs. Moreover, Walmart's Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey said in a CNBC interview that shoppers in the U.S. will start to see prices rise at the end of May and certainly in June.
And when it comes to consumer electronics, Best Buy CEO Corie Barry projected that prices for U.S. consumers would rise.
"While Best Buy only directly imports 2% to 3% of our overall assortment, we expect our vendors across our entire assortment will pass along some level of tariff costs to retailers, making price increases for American consumers highly likely," Barry said in the March 4 call.
