Common questions about Applebee's

What can I actually order low-histamine at Applebee's?

Only 8 of 182 items came back low, and they cluster around plain proteins like the burger patties, prime rib, and diced grilled chicken, plus the Asian greens and a few sweet toppings. Everything else is rated moderate or high.

Why do so many dishes at Applebee's rate high?

Yeast extract is the single biggest reason, pushing 27 items to high, with aged cheddar and parmesan close behind at 19 and 17. Lemon juice, lime juice, cherry tomato, and tomato paste each add another 15.

Are the burgers low-histamine at Applebee's?

The burger patties themselves came back low, so the patty on its own is one of the lower picks. Applebee's does not publish what can be left off, so the rest of a built burger is not something we can speak to from the facts.

Are there any low-histamine desserts or sweet toppings?

Yes, the caramel sauce, whipped cream, and the red passion fruit syrup all came back low. Those are the sweet items on the low list.
