GLENDALE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar® unveils a brand-new addition to its lineup of innovative menu offerings – a series of Topped Steaks & Twisted Potatoes –starting at just $12.99. The classic combination of steak and potatoes is a fan favorite and Applebee's is giving guests all the power to add their own savory twist by selecting a choice of steak, delicious toppers and a twisted potato side.

Steak and potatoes may seem like a common-place menu item in restaurants across America, but the dynamic duo did not appear on menus of mainstream restaurants until in the 1970s.

For a fun spin on this classic staple, Applebee's decided to give steak and potatoes a delicious upgrade.

"At Applebee's we are always looking for ways to bring our guests the food they love and crave, and present it in a way they've never experienced," said Stephen Bulgarelli, chief culinary officer, Applebee's. "The customization and flavor options of the Topped Steaks & Twisted Potatoes allow our guests to choose a dependable flavor, while enjoying it in a way that is completely new and unexpected at their local restaurant."

Starting at just $12.99, the new Topped Steaks & Twisted Potatoes lineup includes:

• 2 Steak Choices: 6-ounce USDA Choice Top Sirloin and 8-ounce USDA Choice Top Sirloin*
• 3 Steak Topper Choices: Tavern Mushroom & Onion, Savory Herb & Butter Sauce, Creamy Horseradish & Gravy Topper
