Applebee’s Grill + Bar Allergen Menu

Before your next trip to Applebee’s Grill & Bar, check this reference guide for a list of the sandwiches, burgers, steaks, pasta dishes, and other menu items made with eggs, fish, gluten, milk, nuts, sesame, soy, sulfites, or wheat.
Read through to the final section of this allergen report for a list of menu items made without any of the nine major food allergens.
The first section of this allergen menu provides a quick overview of the nine ingredients recognized by the FDA as major allergens.
If you’re familiar with the list of foods that restaurants must declare as allergens and you understand the risk of cross-contamination, click the button below to skip directly to Applebee’s allergen guide.
Overview of Food Allergens
The United States FDA has identified nine major food allergens: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soybeans, tree nuts, and wheat.
Certain foods, such as highly refined oil, even if derived from a particular allergen group, are exempted from federal regulation. Refined soybean oil, for example, is not considered a common allergen in terms of disclosure requirements.
Fast food menu items are prepared in common areas using shared equipment and kitchen tools. By way of example, fried foods are generally cooked in the same fryer and oil used for other products that contain milk, wheat, or fish.
In addition, restaurant suppliers may prepare foods in facilities where soy, eggs, nuts, wheat, and other ingredients are present.
As a result, even foods made without a declared food allergen may come in contact with allergens through cross contamination.
Applebee’s Allergen Menu
This section lists menu items made with one or more common food allergen. Nutrition and ingredients information is sourced from Applebee’s restaurant, based on standard formulations and recipes, and excludes any substitutions or add-ons.
The FDA has not identified gluten or sulfites as major food allergens. However, many individuals are sensitive to these ingredients and Applebee’s is transparent about what goes in the foods served at its restaurants. We have updated the following allergen guide to identify foods made with gluten and/or sulfites, where applicable.
Appetizers
The following table lists the allergens in chicken wings, tacos, onion rings, and other shareable plates served at Applebee’s family restaurant.

Applebee’s staff may follow strict safety procedures; however, the restaurant cannot guarantee food options are 100% free from the risk of allergens.
Kitchen areas have limited space and food is prepared on and with shared equipment. Menu items may contain or come in contact with other foods during the preparation, cooking, and serving process.
Moreover, recipes and ingredients may vary by location or due to seasonal changes. Individuals with food sensitivities should discuss any concerns with the manager at the local restaurant prior to ordering.
Made Without Major Allergens
While the recipes for certain food products may not include eggs, milk, sesame, wheat, soy, fish, or nuts, there is no guarantee of food safety at any restaurant. Due to cross-contamination, trace amounts of any major allergen may be present in foods listed below.
Applebee’s Grill + Bar indicates which menu items are made with gluten. The following foods, when ordered as an a la carte option without side dishes, are made without any of the nine common food allergens and without gluten or sulfites.
Unless otherwise indicated, the menu items listed below exclude any additional flavoring, dipping sauces, or dressings.
