"The barbecue brisket tacos at Applebee's were a fan favorite for nearly a decade before being abruptly removed from the menu in 2021. They featured shredded beef barbacoa, sweet Memphis barbecue sauce, pico de gallo, a blend of cheddar cheeses, and crispy onions drizzled with Mexi-ranch sauce in a flour tortilla."
"Applebee's was allegedly forced to slim down its menu during the pandemic due to a huge decline in sales and decided to discontinue items that weren't selling well or took more time to prepare."
"Despite the chain's reasoning, customers were less than pleased with this item's removal. 'I want my freaking brisket tacos. It's so hard to find something so delicious,' one person said."
Applebee's operates in 11 countries, providing a diverse menu that includes American, Mexican, Asian, and Italian dishes. The restaurant chain frequently introduces and removes menu items to balance quality and variety. While some items, like the barbecue brisket tacos, have been discontinued due to sales declines, others, such as the Tex-Mex quesadilla burger, have gained popularity. Customers often express nostalgia for discontinued items, highlighting the challenge of meeting diverse diner preferences.
