Ribs are one of Applebee's signature plates, and the menu gives you a few ways in depending on how hungry you are — from the classic full rack down to the smaller Riblets that made the chain famous. Prices span a wide $7 to $18, so this section covers both a quick add-on and a full centerpiece meal.

How the cuts differ

  • Double-Glazed Baby Back Ribs — the full-size plate: a rack basted in a sweet-and-smoky glaze, served with sides. The half-rack is the lighter, cheaper way to order it.
  • Applebee's Riblets — the smaller, saucy riblet portions the chain is known for; a mid-priced middle ground.
  • Crosscut Ribs — cut across the bone for a different bite, and the cheapest way to get a taste of ribs on the table.

Pair any of them with a couple of picks from the sides menu, and if you're torn between ribs and beef, the steak entrées are right next door.
