Applebee’s Senior Discount
Quick answer: Applebee’s doesn’t have a company-wide senior discount, but some locations give guests 60 and older 10 to 15% off. A few still honor the old Golden Apple card. Ask your server before you order, because it’s up to each restaurant.
Does Applebee’s have a senior discount?
Some do. Nearly all Applebee’s restaurants are owned by franchise groups, and each group sets its own deals. Where there’s a senior discount, it’s usually 10% or 15% off your food for guests 60 and up. Plenty of locations don’t offer one, and it’s almost never printed on the menu.
What happened to the Golden Apple card?
The Golden Apple card was a senior discount card that some Applebee’s handed out years ago. Most restaurants stopped using it. A few still accept an old card or give a newer version, so if you have one, bring it and ask. If you don’t, just ask about a senior discount. You don’t need a card where the discount exists.
How to ask for it
- Ask when your server first comes to the table: “Do you offer a senior discount here?”
- Call ahead if the discount decides where you eat. The host can tell you in a minute.
- For to-go orders, call the restaurant. Online and app orders don’t have a senior option.
If your Applebee’s says no
- Join Club Applebee’s. The free rewards program gives new members a welcome treat, plus birthday rewards and member-only deals, at any age.
- Look for the value combos. Applebee’s runs set-price meal deals through the year. They change often and prices vary by location, so check the menu for your restaurant on applebees.com.
- Share an entree. Portions are big. Two people splitting a meal and an appetizer usually leave full.
