Sit-down Dining Chains

Restaurants are listed in alphabetical order. If you have info on a Sit-down Dining Chain please email us at canieatthere@gmail.com.

Applebee's
Web Site

Allergy Alert: No Allergen Information Available; Call Ahead or Ask Your Server

From Applebee's Web Site (January 2008):

"Where can I get nutritional information on Applebee's items?

We provide nutritional information on all of our Weight Watchers items, including fat, fiber and calorie counts and Weight Watchers Points values. We do not provide nutritional information on other Applebee's items - with approximately 1,900 locations in the U.S. alone there are many different vendors, which makes it extremely difficult to obtain nutritional information for out items."

Author's Note: Boo! I think they can try harder than this.

Thank you for writing this blog. I have a 22 month old son with multiple food allergies and the information you've posted is invaluable. We went out to eat at IHop this week and I doubt that I will take him there again. It was very difficult to find a food that I could order for him and the waitstaff was less than helpful about it.
