Deptford Applebee's To Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day

DEPTFORD, NJ — Wednesday, Sept. 18 likely ranks among key "holidays" for cheeseburger aficionados — as it is National Cheeseburger Day.

Foodie lore attributes the sandwich's beginnings to a teen, who created the juicy burger-option in 1926 while working as a fry cook at his father's Pasadena, California, sandwich shop, "The Rite Spot."

Applebee’s restaurants across South Jersey, including Deptford, are celebrating by offering guests its Classic Bacon Cheeseburger with endless fries for just $6.99. Only the Classic Bacon Cheeseburger is part of this deal.

This old school burger is made with Applebee’s handcrafted all-beef patty topped with guests’ choice of two cheese slices and two strips of Applewood-smoked bacon, served with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on a Brioche bun. Not a fan of bacon (or maybe even cheese)? Guests can also enjoy the Classic Cheeseburger and Classic Burger with endless fries for the same price.

The Deptford Applebee’s is located at 1850 Deptford Center Road. Other participating Applebee’s restaurants are in Atlantic City, Audubon, Cherry Hill, Hammonton, Mays Landing, Mt. Laurel, Pennsville, Sicklerville, Somerdale, Somers Point, Swedesboro, Turnersville, Vineland, Voorhees, Westhampton and Williamstown.
