Applebees Gift Card Bonus: A Perfect Holiday Treat! {Giveaway!} #BuyLocal

Are you trying to support local businesses while holiday shopping this year?  I absolutely love the idea!  Did you know that over 60 Applebee's in Michigan are locally owned and operated?  TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR) is a restaurant group which is committed to supporting other local business throughout the state by using seasonal fresh produce when possible.  Also, TSFR has recently teamed up with Michigan breweries and distilleries to feature MI-made craft beers and cocktails!  How cool is that?

Friday after Thanksgiving, Ricky and I went to check out their happy hour menu and loved the locally inspired drink menu!  Plus, you can't go wrong with $4 appetizers and $3 beer specials. Many places don't feature local beer on their Happy Hour specials, but Applebee's had so many great deals.

Browsing the menu, I was very pleased by the kids menu.  I love to see healthy options like grilled chicken and GoGo Applesauce!  The girls love "Apple House" and I saw many things they would gobble up on the menu. 

Our favorite part about our Applebee's visit? It seemed truly like a local neighborhood bar.  People knew each other and everyone had a friendly rapport with each other. Since this location is less than 2 miles from our house, we will be coming back whenever we have a chance!  To find a locally owned Applebee's around you, check here! 

In December, whenever you purchase a $50 Gift Card at Applebee's, you'll get a $10 card FREE!

Now time for the fun part! I have a quick giveaway for you!
