Applebee’s Heats Up Summer with Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos on Popular 2 for $25 Menu

The Applebee’s 2 for $25 menu welcomes Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos. Guests can discover the new entrees, premium $10 margaritas, and charity drink specials.
Applebee’s is giving diners a new reason to visit their neighborhood grill this summer. The restaurant chain announced the official debut of its new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos, bringing a mashup of two fan-favorite items to its signature 2 for $25 value menu. Available now through August 16, this limited-time release pairs a classic American flavor profile with Applebee’s iconic crispy wonton shell.
Applebee’s 2 for $25: A Bold New Twist on Comfort Food
The new appetizer is designed to deliver a lot of flavor without breaking the bank. Guests can choose the new wonton tacos as an appetizer to share, alongside two full-size entrees, all for the value price of $25.
“Combining two of our guests’ favorite dishes to create our new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos was a no-brainer,” said Michelle Chin, chief marketing officer at Applebee’s. “It packs bold American comfort in every bite: seasoned ground beef, melted Cheddar, Applewood-smoked bacon, pickles and a drizzle of spicy honey mustard. Perfect for sharing on our 2 for $25 menu, or enjoying by itself, you can treat yourself this summer without breaking the bank!”
Expanded Entree Choices with Applebee’s 2 for $25

To give guests even more variety, Applebee’s has expanded its 2 for $25 entree lineup for the summer. In addition to signature appetizers like classic Boneless Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, and Spinach & Artichoke Dip, guests can pair their starter with three newer Applebee’s 2 for $25 entrees:
- The O-M-Cheese Burger
- Fiesta Lime Chicken
- The California Grilled Chicken Salad
Premium Summer Cocktails

To complement the updated food menu, Applebee’s is introducing premium spirits to its beverage lineup. Guests can cool down with two new $10 Don Julio Margaritas or a $6 Bacardi rum cocktail, all served in the chain’s signature Mucho glass. The limited-time drink specials feature:
- Backflippin’ Blue Margarita: Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Malibu Coconut Rum, blue curaçao, passion fruit, pineapple, cherry, and lime.
- Prickly Plunge Margarita: Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Smirnoff Vodka, triple sec, prickly pear, and lime.
- Bacardi Blushing Dragon: Bacardí Superior Rum, dragon fruit, premium lemon sour, and lemonade.
“Delicious, refreshing and packed with premium spirits, guests can unwind and cool off with our new Don Julio margaritas and Bacardi cocktails served in our signature Mucho glass,” said Nate Grover, executive director of Bar & Beverage at Applebee’s. “For 25 years, Applebee’s Mucho cocktails have brought fun, flavor and cheers to guests nationwide, so grab your friends and sip summer away at your neighborhood Applebee’s!”
Dining for a Cause
Beyond the food and drink deals, Applebee’s is continuing its long-standing tradition of supporting the fight against childhood cancer. From now through August 30, the restaurant will donate 50¢ from the sale of every new Lemon Berry Sunshine drink (available for both dine-in and To Go) to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). This year marks 22 years of partnership between Applebee’s and ALSF. To find your nearest location, order online, or sign up for the Applebee’s E-Club to receive exclusive deals, visit Applebees.com.
