A brief history of restaurant

Jery and Al Lapin along with Albert Kallis set up the first restaurant way back in 1958.  And since then, newer restaurants have opened across the United States, as well as in the Canadian region of British Columbia, and in the Mexican cities of Monterrey, Querétaro, Tampico, and Mexico City.  Today, the chain has around 1,500 restaurants in all the 50 states, besides locations in Canada, Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

menu and service

At each table you’ll find a sugar boat and also syrup dispensers for three different flavors of pancake syrup: strawberry, blueberry, and old fashioned.  At restaurants, they also serve warm corn syrup that is artificially maple-flavored, and offered with every meal that includes pancakes or waffles.

A few years ago, the core menu was revamped by adding newer options for lunch and dinner, so it was no more merely a breakfast restaurant.

Recently, “New York Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes” and “Butterscotch Rocks Pancakes” replaced “Corn Cake Pancakes”.  And even more recently, Butterscotch Rocks were pulled off Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic’s menu.

The “international” addition to the chain’s name derives from three core crepe-style pancakes on the menu: “German” (served with lemon butter, lemon slices and powdered sugar), “Swedish” (served with lingonberry butter and lingonberries) and “French” (served along with orange marmalade).  These crepes topped with fruits are served along with an egg-and-meat plate as the restaurant’s “International Passport Breakfast.  Belgian waffles and French toast further emphasize the menu’s international theme.

Buyout of Applebee’s

On November 29, 2007, acquired Applebee’s for US$2.1 billion.  As part of the take over, a renewal of Applebee’s menu, image and a new re-marketing scheme for the brand was undertaken.
