Review: Applebee’s Ultimate TRIO Appetizer vs Chili’s Triple Dipper

Applebee’s is no Stranger to Appetizer Samplers. The Chain’s Classic Combo, Which Features Boneless Wings, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Chicken Queadillas, and Mozzarella Sticks, haen on the menu for and still holds a place.

The Ultimate Trio is a Completely New Menu, Rather than a revamp of its Classic appetizer sampler.

Branded Around Football Season, Its Asks Customers to Draft Their “Perfect Team” of Appetizers by Chooking Three of 10 Appetizer Options and Three Dips.

“TODAY, GUESTS WANT MORE CHOICE, MORE FLARDER, AND MORE FUN FOR A GREAT VALUE – we’re here for it. The ultimate trio is our anSwer: three apps, three sauces, endless combinations – in fact, more than 80,000 flavors,” dine brands and apple. Peyton Told Business Insider in an emailed Statement.

The triple dipper, which has been on Chili’s menus for years, is hating a moment. AFTER Going viral on tiktok and Accounting for 11% of Chili’s Overall Sales, ITH’S No Surprise That May Begin Popping Up at Other Casual-Dining Chains.

Both the triple dipper and the ultimate trio allow customers to mix and match three apps and three diping sauces.

Howver, Chili’s Only Offers SIX Appetizer Options in Various Flavors, Compared to the 10 Options Offered by Applebee.

Chili’s Dipping Sauces are Also pre-seleste Depending on who Appetizers you choose, THOUGH YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE BY YOUR SERVER FOR SPECIFIC DIPS.

Business Insider Asked Applebee’s for Comment on the Similaryties Between the two menu Items.

“The new ultimate trio is signature Applebee’s – Our flavor, Our style, rules. Mixing and matching apps isn’t new, but we’ve leveled it,” Peyton Told Business Insider.

There’s ALSO A Price Difference Between The Two Samplers. The Triple Dipper Runs for About $ 17 to $ 20, Depending on Location, while the Ultimate Trio Retails for $ 14.99.

That’s though the ultimate trio offending more options, i personally preferential some of the appetizer options offended in the triple dipper.

For Example, Appebe’s Only Offers Boneal Wings As Part of Its New Appetizer Sampler, while Chili’s Offers Boneless Wings, Bone-In Wings, and Chicken Tenders.

I ALSO Prefer Chili’s Big Mouth Bites Burger Slides Compared to Applebee’s Riblets. So even though i had more options at Applebee’s, I Personally Preferred The Selection at Chili’s.

These are your Classic Mozzarella Sticks-They’re Finger-Shaped and Evently Fried to a Golden Crisp, and They Paired Well with the Marainara Sauce I Oroured for Dipping.

The Applebee’s Ones Ares Better for Dipping, and the Cheese Inside Was Soft and Creamy.

Howver, if you’re looking to get that eye-chatching cheese pull, you’ll probably be better off going to chili’s, which has Large, Square-Shaped Mozzarella Sticks.

I Received Three Crispy Tacos filled with grilled chicken meat and topped with coleslaw.

The coleslaw was vibrant and fresh, though i wish the diced chicken meat had a bit more flavor. The taco shell added the right crunch with the oily or grease from the Frier.

Overall, i enjoyed these tacos and though they were a frysh, yet filing, appetizer.

I ORDED IN THE CLASSIC BUFFALO FLAGR. I Received Six Boneless Wings, Which I Thought Was a Geneverous Gioven that they just just part of the Sampler.

I ORDED Blue Cheese and Ranch as My Two Other Dipping Sauces to Pair with the Wings.

The Blue Cheese was Creamy and Thick, while the Ranch was slightly Lighter in consistent and more tangy.

As for the boneless wings, I was impressed by the rich flavor of the sauce that ostene buttery and spicy balancies.

Applebee’s is Known for Its Boneless Wings and Is the NFL’s Official Grill and Bar Sponsor. Therefore, I Expect the Boneless Wings to Blow with Away.

They Delivered.

The buffalo bonless wings were packed with flavor and be adequately spicy with forcing with to reach for my water. I was impressed and would definitely order they again for my next game-day party.

AS A FAN OF CHILI’S BONE-IN WINGS AND CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS, I’D SOONER ORDER THE TRIPLE DIPPER OVER The Ultimate Trio.

Howver, when it comes down to value, Applebee’s is a Strong Competitor.

For a few dollars less than the triple dipper, the ultimate trio was more customsable and offended more variety.

I really enjoyed Applebee’s Dippable Mozzarella Sticks-THOUGH I STILL MASSIVE BLOCKS OF CHEE-PULLING MOZZARELLA-AND THOUGHT THE BAITLES WINGS WERE FILLING, FLARGRABUL, AND PERFECTLY COATED IN SAUCE.

In the Battle for Appetizer-Sampler Supremacy, Applebee’s DOES HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE.
