The viral Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger continues to join five new menu items, like Sesame Salmon and Lemon Parmesan Chicken.
For those staying along International Drive or visiting the nearby theme parks, a viral favorite has returned with even more “ooey-gooey” appeal. Applebee’s continues to offer the Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger.
Located just a short walk or quick drive from Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Surfside Inn & Suites, the International Drive Applebee’s is a prime spot for a post-park meal. For $11.99, guests can dive into a burger served in a “cheese pool”—a sizzling skillet filled with molten queso and a melted Cheddar cheese blend.
Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger
The Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger itself features an all-beef patty topped with American cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, and a unique spicy honey mustard, served with classic fries. “An instant fan-favorite, our NEW O-M-Cheese Burger now has even more cheese,” said Michelle Chin, Applebee’s chief marketing officer. “Our guests have been buzzing with excitement since we first launched the O-M-Cheese Burger, and we can’t wait to see their cheese pulls multiply from their own ‘cheese pool’ in their skillet!”
More Than Just a Burger: Five New Menu Items
While the Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger is the star of the show, the restaurant has also launched five additional menu items to provide more variety for the whole family:
- Loaded Potato Waves: Crispy, thick-cut potato slices smothered in melted Cheddar and bacon, served with ranch.
- Sesame Salmon Bowl: Seared blackened salmon over cilantro rice with avocado cucumber salsa and almonds.
- Lemon Parmesan Chicken: A comfort dish featuring hand-breaded chicken with a zesty lemon garlic parmesan sauce and mashed potatoes.
- California Grilled Chicken Salad: A lighter, 600-calorie option with avocado, bacon, and Lite Italian dressing.
- Strawberry Balsamic Chicken Salad: Fresh greens topped with grilled chicken, strawberries, and a balsamic glaze.
Budget-Friendly Dining on International Drive
For vacationers keeping an eye on their food budget after a day at the parks, the Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger has been added to the signature 2 for $25 Menu for a limited time. This allows guests to pair the burger (or other favorites like Fiesta Lime Chicken) with a shared appetizer or two side salads.
Whether you’re heading back to your hotel after a long day of thrills or just cruising the I-Drive corridor, the new menu offers a mix of hearty comfort and lighter, fresh options. You can find these items for dine-in, To Go, or delivery through the Applebee’s mobile app. To find your local restaurant to dine in, visit Applebees.com/restaurants.
