Applebee’s is known for its affordable, casual dining experience, but some customers aren’t happy with the latest promotion. The restaurant chain offers an all-you-can-eat deal for boneless wings for $12.99, but viral TikTok says the wings aren’t worth the price.
In the video, TikTok user Shakirajar shows off an all-you-can-eat boneless wing meal. The shot also shows Shakirajar’s friend shaking his head. Clearly they were both unimpressed with the food. The video has been viewed more than 50,000 times since it was posted on August 25.
The footage is accompanied by a striking caption that reads: “I went to Applebee’s because they had ‘all you can eat chicken wings’ for $12.99, but they were so hard and salty I could barely eat a serving.”

The video sparked a lot of reactions from other TikTok users, many of whom expressed their disappointment with Appleby’s wing deal.
“The commercials made me want to invite my friends over here,” wrote one user.
A second user wrote, “Don’t tell me you meant to go.”
Several users said they had similar experiences. “My daughter and I went last night and we couldn’t even get through the first plate,” wrote one user. “Blue, I literally just got back from Applebee’s. It was so salty I couldn’t even finish the plate,” one agreed.
Applebee’s all-you-can-eat boneless wings promotion is trending on TikTok. And not everyone has ever had trouble climbing over a plate. One viral video shows a high school student claiming to have beaten Applebees after four rounds of wings. Meanwhile, another TikToker went viral after highlighting how he ate nearly 40 chicken wings, believing he couldn’t take them home, and was handed a to-go box by a server.
The Daily Dot reached out to Applebee’s in a press email and shakirajhall on TikTok for comment.
