GLENDALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Put away your pumpkins, because the holiday season starts now at Applebee’s! First, guests can celebrate with the 2 for $20 Value Menu* now featuring the Southwest Steak Bowl, available for dine-in, To Go or delivery** at participating locations, but only for a limited time. This guest-favorite menu includes the choice of one full-size appetizer to share AND two of these delicious full-size entrées all for only $20:

Southwest Steak Bowl: Grilled chipotle lime sirloin steak on mixed greens with cilantro rice, house-made pico de gallo, black bean corn salsa and guacamole. Topped with chimichurri, tortilla strips and a fresh lime wedge.
