About Applebee's
Applebee's is a large casual dining restaurant chain known for its neighborhood grill-and-bar concept. It offers a broad menu of American-style fare including burgers, steaks, ribs, chicken dishes, pasta, salads, and a variety of appetizers, as well as desserts and a full bar with cocktails, beer, and wine. Locations are typically sit-down restaurants with table service and sometimes a separate bar area.
A charge labeled “APPLEBEES 9892 - POS” on your card statement indicates an in-restaurant purchase at a specific Applebee's location, with “9892” referring to the store number and “POS” indicating a point-of-sale (card-present) transaction. This could be for dine-in service, bar purchases, takeout, or curbside pickup paid at the terminal. Tips you added on a card receipt may be included in the final captured amount, so the final charge may be slightly higher than the initial authorization.
If you have questions about this charge, first compare the transaction date and amount with your dining receipts or bank app history. You can contact the specific Applebee's location (phone number is usually on your receipt or can be found via the restaurant locator on their website) to look up the check by date, time, and last 4 digits of your card. For unresolved billing issues, overcharges, or suspected fraud, you can also reach out to Applebee's corporate guest relations through their website contact form, and if needed, dispute the charge with your card issuer while the investigation is ongoing.
