With the rising costs of fast food , we’re all looking for ways to enjoy the same delicious meals for less; and this new TikTok hack has got your covered for your next meal at Applebee’s. The fast-casual restaurant is known for their all-American bar menu, as well as their iconic all-you-can-eat buffet that runs in-store periodically throughout the year. But, if you’re in the mood for something bigger than wings and ribs, this hack involves good old fashioned cheeseburgers.
Kayleigh Leon , a popular TikTok food blogger with over 27 million likes posted a video on August 19, 2024 showing the kid’s meal at Applebee’s compared to the adults’ one. The video gained 186,000 views in just under 12 hours, and shows customers how to get major discount on their meal. Kayleigh shows a side-by-side comparison of an Applebee’s standard cheeseburger and fries meal with a kids’ version of the same thing, and spoiler alert, you can’t even tell the difference.
Both burgers, which are served in a shiny and delicious looking brioche bun, are the exact same size and come with the same portion of fries. But get this; the adults’ one costs $12.99, and the kids’ one costs $6.
99 and comes with a drink. So, you’re getting a meal for half the price. Of course, this isn’t the case at all restaurants, where the kids’ meal is usually significantly smaller, but Applebee’s aren’t playing around with their burgers.
