6 Best Burgers at Applebee’s

Most people go to Applebee’s for its wide variety of appetizers and drinks, but Applebee’s also serves some delicious burgers.

From the classic cheeseburger to the more innovative quesadilla burger, Applebee’s burgers are made with an all-beef patty and served with classic fries.

While many items at Applebee’s taste good, the delicious handcrafted burgers make up some of the most popular items on the Applebee’s menu.

In this article, we’ve rounded up the best Applebee’s burgers to help you decide what to order next time you’re craving a burger.

6. Impossible Cheeseburger

Like many other restaurants, Applebee’s is beginning to diversify its menu to accommodate those with dietary restrictions. The Impossible Cheeseburger is Applebee’s answer to the challenge.

The burger patty, free from meat and made from soy protein, potato protein, and sunflower oil, is combined with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles.

The burger is also served on a brioche bun with a side of fries.

It can be customized by adding ingredients, changing the cheese or bun, and removing any of the vegetables on the burger.

Coming out to 1050 calories, the Impossible Cheeseburger is an excellent choice for those who don’t eat meat, and though very similar, it isn’t quite the same as a regular beef burger.

5. Quesadilla Burger

Continuing with the “Tex-Mex” flavor that Applebee’s loves to bring into many of their foods, the Quesadilla Burger makes for a delicious alternative to the regular burger.

The “burger” stuffed between tortilla wraps includes beef patties, Pepper Jack cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, pico de gallo, lettuce, and Applebee’s homemade Mexi-ranch sauce.

The burger can be customized by removing or adding ingredients, but it isn’t quite as customizable as the other burger options. It’s also served with French fries.

At 1620 calories, this burger is a great choice for those feeling adventurous or just can’t get enough of the “Tex-Mex” flavor.

4. Classic Burger

Sometimes, a regular old burger is what you’re looking for after a long day at work or on the road. The Classic Burger is great for those with “old-fashioned” taste buds.

The classic burger is served on a brioche bun with a juicy beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a side of fries.

For those who want something easy and predictable, this has to be your go-to pick.

The burger can be customized by adding or removing ingredients, but with too much customization, you might end up ordering one of the other types of burgers.

At 1120 calories, you can’t go wrong with a classic burger.

3. Classic Cheeseburger

If you’re confused about the difference between the Classic Burger and the Classic Cheeseburger, don’t worry – there is no difference except for the addition of cheese.

The Classic Cheeseburger is served on a brioche bun and includes a beef patty, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a side of French fries.

At 1220 calories, the cheeseburger can be customized by adding or removing the ingredients that come on the burger and can be cooked anywhere between rare and well done.

2. Classic Bacon Cheeseburger

For those who think that they might be beginning to pick up a trend with these burgers, you’d be right.

The Classic Bacon Cheeseburger adds one item to the Classic Cheeseburger – can you guess what it is?

If you said bacon, extra points for you! The Classic Bacon Cheeseburger is served on a brioche bun and includes a beef patty, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles.

The burger is served with a side of French fries and can be customized by adding or subtracting ingredients.

At 1320 calories, the Classic Bacon Cheeseburger does not disappoint.

1. Whiskey Bacon Burger

If you’re looking for an exciting change to the classic burgers, the Whiskey Bacon Burger is a delicious, fun, and hearty change of pace.

It’s so good that we’d argue it’s one of the best things to eat on the Applebee’s menu.

The Whiskey Bacon Burger is served on a brioche bun with a beef patty, Pepper Jack cheese, crispy onions that resemble onion rings, fresh onions, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.

The burger includes a homemade steak sauce infused with Fireball Whiskey.

The sauce adds moisture to the burger and a nice flavor kick to the delicious combo.

At 1620 calories, the Whiskey Bacon Burger is served with a side of French fries and is sure to have you feeling full. It is a must-try!

Conclusion

If you call yourself a burger lover, you will surely enjoy Applebee’s variety of burgers on the menu. Of course, you can and should try other menu items, but the burgers are elite.
