The Applebee's Platter To Avoid And Save Yourself Disappointment
BY Jen Peng
The Applebee's riblets platter — riblets, a sauce of your choice, coleslaw, and fries — took the bottom spot in our ranking of the chain’s most popular items for good reason.
If you're expecting a lot of meat, you'll be disappointed with the riblets. A former Applebee's prep cook confirmed they have a high bone-to-meat ratio.
Many customers have also reported that the riblets, which some speculate are made of button ribs rather than trimmings off a rack of ribs, can come with too much gristle.
The riblets come in a smaller portion as a plate and are often offered at a decent value as part of the all-you-can-eat menu, but dealing with so many bones is not worth it.
