This go-to deal is redeemable on Monday after the big game and is valid whether you dine in or order online. Use promo code PICK6 at checkout (limit one per fan).
Did we mention Applebee's has a fully stocked bar? This chain is rolling out loads of fan-favorite drink specials that pair equally well with a touchdown or field goal. Its Super Bowl ready cocktail recipes are as tasty as they are pretty, like the restaurant's Passion on the Beach.
