Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 The TV station I work at did a story about a month ago about how Applebee's was going to incorporate the point system into their menus. I'm not sure when it's supposed to start, but my WW leader confirmed that it was definitely going to happen in the near future. I think it will be awesome to not have to preplan/calculate/double- check calculation/plan/order/question the amount of oil used/look for oil spots on the plate/rethink calculation/double-check point finder/ask spouse if he sees oil on my plate/end up chewing on carrot stick. Now I just have to order. =) Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I believe that the WW leader yesterday mentioned that this should be sometime in 2004. I am REALLY looking forward to this because I like Applebee's. (So far, I've never had a bad meal or bad service.) AND.. it will be easier on the POINTS budget if I don't have spend a zillion points on a meal there!! > -----Original Message----- > From: ibeforej > > The TV station I work at did a story about a month ago about how > Applebee's was going to incorporate the point system into their > menus.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 I hope this isn't too late, but I'd avoid Applebee's. They are notorious for being unfriendly toward celiac's on a corporate level (personal experience) and rude on a local level (friend's experience.) Places that are good, if you have any near you, are Outbacks, Chili's, On the Border, Ruby Tuesdays, Red Robin, PF Changs and, if you don't mind asking for information, try an Indian or afghani or Greek or even just a local steak house (Chinese isn't good because of the soy sauce in everything.) Good luck! (And, if you went to Applebee's, definitely let us know how it went!) > Has anyone eaten successfully at Applebee's? Our air conditioner just went out and I'm not cooking in the house, and I'm tired of Mc's. I noticed the site didn't say anything, just the cya (cover your *ankle*) statement about ingredients changing and their customers were too important to make that declaration. > > If I don't hear back from anyone....I'll be able to give a critique myself later. > > Loriann aka Flitter the Christian clown and Celiac Disease > Wife to Dewight, USNavy Retired > Mom to , 15, Down Syndrome, PDD-NOS and Celiac Disease > and , 6 and ADHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Well, we haven't gone yet, but this is a brand new resturant in our town. Do you have any idea if their steaks are pre-marniated, like Ponderosa? Do you know if Denny's would be better? He's STILL working on our ac.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Loriann, This is arriving way to late for a Saturday night dinner but for the future, my 12 year old daughter was traveling with my parents and they stopped at an Appleby's. My daughter ordered one of their new meals that comes with rice noodles and vegetables. My mom went over the Wheat Free/Gluten Free needs with the waitress. My daughter said her dish was very good and she didn't have a reaction. She is very sensitive. Has anyone else had these at Applebee's?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks for all the input on Applebee's. We ended up not going because the ac guy was here until after 7PM! The kids go to bed at 8, so DH just ran to Mc's again....I think the week they're not here (when grandma and grandpa come get them a week before we move to Texas), I WILL eat out at a sit down resturant. With one autistic kid and one adhd, we haven't in a LONG time.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I know this is late, but for the future... Applebee's is now actually working on figuring out what is and isn't GF. Don't know how much there will be or when they'll get it figured out, but help is on the way. At almost all of these types of restaurants, the steaks are pre-marinated. For now, I personally still would not eat there. Denny's has a PDF listing of allergens on its web site and I think they also keep that list behind the counter. But I would take my own copy. I've been to Denny's a couple of times. I can't guarantee how bad contamination might be in the kitchen, but they seemed very concerned and at least a little aware. As with any chain, I suspect it varies from place to place. richard --- hs_myangels@... wrote: > Well, we haven't gone yet, but this is a brand new > resturant in our town.
