Applebee’s introduced fresh excitement to its popular 2-for-$25 deal in July 2025 by adding two new entrées and bringing back a customer favorite. As part of the broader Applebee’s specials July 2025 promotion, this update gave guests new flavors to enjoy while maintaining the value and variety the promotion is known for. Whether you're dining in, taking out, or ordering delivery, the updated offer is designed to please a wide range of tastes.
Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine
This new entrée combines crispy, breaded chicken breast with rich marinara sauce and a creamy Parmesan Alfredo pasta base. Served with a buttery garlic breadstick, the Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine delivers comfort food with a satisfying balance of texture and flavor. It’s ideal for those who enjoy Italian-style meals with bold seasoning and indulgent sauces.
BIG Bangin’ Burger
The BIG Bangin’ Burger makes a bold statement with its hearty half-pound all-beef patty, layered with two slices of melty American cheese and topped with Applebee’s house-made jalapeño-bacon “Bangin’ Sauce.” Served on a toasted brioche bun with the traditional lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, this burger is a mouthwatering choice for anyone craving a mix of heat and savory comfort.
Oriental Chicken Salad
Rejoining the lineup by popular demand, the Oriental Chicken Salad offers a lighter yet flavorful choice. It includes crispy chicken tenders over a bed of fresh greens, shredded carrots, chow mein noodles, and almonds. The dish is tossed in Applebee’s sweet and tangy Oriental vinaigrette, offering crunch, freshness, and balance that perfectly complements the other heartier entrée options.
What’s Included in the 2-for-$25 Deal
Guests selecting the 2-for-$25 deal can choose two full-size entrées from the current menu, including the new Chicken Parmesan Fettuccine and BIG Bangin’ Burger, and add one shared appetizer or two side salads.
