This is a partnered post with Applebee’s. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
Last week was my daughter’s 12th birthday which was great reason to visit our new Applebee’s that recently just opened. I also wanted to try their new Wood Fired Grill Salads that I have been hearing about.
What I like about Applebees is their prices! Starting at only $8.99 at participating restaurants, the new Wood Fired Grill Salad lineup includes:
- NEW Southwestern Steak Salad: Hand-Cut Wood Fired USDA Choice Top Sirloin Steak paired with chimichurri, pico de gallo, corn and black bean salsa, cheddar, crispy tortilla strips and a creamy house-made cilantro ranch dressing.
- NEW Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad: Mixed greens, cucumbers, feta, almonds and house-made creamy mint-Greek yogurt dressing. Also available with Spicy Blackened Chicken.
- NEW Spicy Blackened Grilled Chicken, Avocado and Grapefruit Salad: Mixed greens, pickled in-house red onions, cilantro leaves and house-made champagne vinaigrette.
- NEW Crispy Chicken ‘N Spicy Cornbread Salad: Mixed greens, made-in-house jalapeno cornbread croutons, grape tomatoes, shredded cheddar, applewood-smoked bacon and buttermilk dressing.
Prepared on the new American-made wood fired grills, Applebee’s is now serving new made-to-order salads that pair tender shrimp, precisely-grilled chicken and Hand-Cut USDA Choice Top Sirloin with seasonal summer ingredients and made-in-house dressings for a unique salad experience.
I am a fan of shrimp so we ordered one of the salads with some wood fired grilled shrimp that was delicious!
When eating at Applebees they have so many great choices it can be hard to decide on what to order. While I started my meal with the spicy shrimp salad, we also couldn’t pass up on ordering their delicious mozzarella sticks on the appetizer menu!
We also started with some of the onion rings by request of my birthday girl that we also enjoyed.
When you have picky eaters in your family it can be difficult to eat out at a place that everyone likes. Luckily Applebee’s also serves kid favorites like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese that my daughter couldn’t wait to order.
What made the evening even more special was that the friendly staff at Applebee’s brought my daughter a special dessert for her birthday and even sang happy birthday to her. She was of smiles!
Tomorrow on August 3rd is National Watermelon Day. What a better way to celebrate the day by visiting your local Applebee’s to try their new Grilled Watermelon and Spicy Shrimp Salad!
