Applebee’s In Rockaway, NJ is one of our favorite places to eat as a family!
Are you looking for a restaurant with a fun atmosphere AND healthy food choices?
If your answer is YES, then Applebee’s is the place for you!
I have always been a big fan of Applebee’s for their inviting atmosphere and amazing food, but as a parent, I have recently found even more reasons to love this franchise. Applebee’s offers a wonderful kids’ menu full of healthy food choices for growing children. This past December, Applebee’s introduced their new and improved kids menu full of exciting and healthy options that will please any child (and parent)! Now kids can choose from meals like grilled chicken, salad, and pizza along with tasty sides.
How Hungry Are You?
Check out all the great options on the Applebee’s Kids Menu! More Choices, More Flavors!
On the new kids’ menu at Applebee’s kids can choose from the Really Hungry ($4.99) or the Really Really Hungry ($5.99) menu options. Each meal comes with an entree, side and drink, and they are available for children ages 12 and under. The portion sizes are perfect for little and big tummies!
Grilled Chicken Grillers with GoGo squeeZ Applesauce on the side is perfect for your really hungry child! Add a glass of milk for a complete meal.
Here is what you can find on the Applebee’s Kids’ Really Hungry Menu:

Great options right? Well, it doesn’t stop there. Each meal above also comes with one amazing, healthy side!

As stated on the menu, some items are “part of the Kids LiveWell program and have been verified by the National Restaurant Association and Healthy Dining to meet specific nutritional criteria established by leading health organizations’ scientific guidelines.”

Looking to make your meal well-rounded? I suggest ordering a glass of nice cold milk to go with your kids meal. Allergic to milk like my son? Then try the apple juice. My kids (and I) have tried many of the items on this amazing menu. My kids’ favorites include the Chicken Grillers, Cheese Quesadilla, Cheesy Bread Pizza and Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese. As for sides, our family LOVES the GoGo squeeZ Applesauce, Vanilla Yogurt with Strawberries and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. No matter what your preference, there is an option for everyone!
The yummy Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese is one of our favorites. Choose the Caesar Salad and a cold glass of milk, and you have the perfect meal!
Still have room for more? Applebee’s offers 2 amazing dessert options for the little ones: an Oreo Cookie Shake ($2.89) and Oreo Cookie Sundae ($2.49). Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla milkshakes are also available as well as chocolate and strawberry sundae.
Are you hungry yet? Then turn off your computer, round up the family and head on out to your local Applebee’s. I recommend the Applebee’s in Rockaway but they are all amazing with delicious food, friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere!
