Are Applebee's riblets good?

They are good but a little expensive for the amount you get. And they are very messy.

And they're impossible to eat. There is rarely any bone to hold on to, so the only way I can figure is to put the entire thing in your mouth and spit out the bone, which is hardly polite.

they are very good (i like to get the platter with their chicken tenders too).
Just don't be afraid to get a bit messy eating them!

I always get a bunch of gristle when I eat them. Nasty.
I'd rather have good ribs, not Applebee's riblets...

Yeah this basically what I have to do also. I do try to be discrete about it. I actually ate some last night. :)

Yep, had them about 2 weeks ago! Their chicken flatbread pizza is also very good! Unlike ads to the left of the forums!

What's good to one person is not good to another. Try them for yourself.

I remember when the Ribletts first came out and they were real good. Now, they suck. It seems like they were a lot lower quality so I asked a friend of mine who worked at Applebees back when they first came out. He told me at first, they got the Ribletts from a certain supplier and they changed suppliers to save a little money. However, they also sacrificed a little quality.

My advice is to go out to a really good Ribs place if you want ribs. Spend a little more and get good quality ribs. :)

No they're not. They're too small to eat easily because of the bone. Too much work, not enough food :D Whats with all the novelty food anyway? Hardees has slammer burgers, there's riblets, am I going to start getting a thimble to drink from, and have all my food fit on a tea cup saucer?
