It's easy to see why it took Applebee's so many years to release its nutritional information. The 1,330-calorie Riblets Basket, the 1,390- calorie Oriental Chicken Salad, and the 2,370-calorie Appetizer Sampler are just a few of the little nightmares lurking on the menu.
The bright spots on the menu include the steaks and the ever-expanding "Have It All" menu (despite some serious sodium issues).
