Save money on dining out and help support local restaurants #ReviewCrew in action

November 18, 2013 By Melanie Roberts 32 Comments

I’m part of the Restaurant.com #ReviewCrew and I was compensated for this post; however all opinions are 100% our own and no one influenced us in writing a positive review

I have used Restaurants.com for a long time now and get excited every time I get a lunch or dinner deal and it really is worth checking out if you are traveling or just looking for someone else to cook dinner for the night.

My Teen had his very first Wrestling Match the other day and we were a few towns over; I knew we might be there a while so the savvy Mom that I’m checked on Restaurant.com ahead of time to see if any restaurants are available for that town. I quickly found a Pizza Place that sounded interesting, was locally owned and had a great menu that would please everyone.

I was able to grab a Restaurant.com Gift Certificate and feed the kids during the Wrestling Match and everyone was happy including my wallet. I’m also happy that we found a local business in town and were able to support the family owned restaurant.

Some Restaurant.com Certificates have a minimum amount that needs to be purchased and some have different restrictions like dine in only, carry out only. Ours did have a $37.50 minimum purchase, which wasn’t hard to reach with 3 hungry kids and a hubby. We were able to place the order to go and take our lunch to the Wrestling Match and finish watching my son make 5th place in the county for his weight class.

Overall I’m super excited about using Restaurant.com to find lunch and dinner deals for my family to enjoy; this will come in handy for travels during the holiday season, especially since Restaurant.com has over 50,000 restaurants across the nation as part of their selection. There is bound to be one near your destination.

Our Pizza was amazing, as well as the wings that we ordered and without Restaurant.com I probably would have ran to a fast food chain somewhere in town to feed my family for a lot more and a lot less food. Our restaurant of choice was very friendly, clean and we will keep them in mind the next time we are there for whatever reason at all and make it a point to stop in and grab a few Pizzas.

Did you know that all the restaurant reviews on Restaurant.com are from real guests only? You will never find a review that was bought or created because someone asked for a favor. If you purchase a restaurant.com certificate you will receive an e-mail after redemption to review the restaurant. I loved that, gave it real reviews for every restaurant. Of course I gave my Pizza places a raving review as well, I want to make sure other people that visit the area will see this place and grab a deal for their family outing.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your next deal at Restaurant.com and enjoy a wonderful Family dinner on the go or just because you are busy with Kids, errands or other things;let someone else do the cookin’ for you and see if your favorite local restaurant is part of the Restaurant.com team.

                Restaurant.com is the trusted and valued source connecting restaurants and diners nationwide.  The company offers savings at thousands of restaurants nationwide with more than 50,000 gift certificate options.  Restaurant.com brings people together to relax, converse and enjoy well-prepared and served meals at affordable prices.  To date, Restaurant.com customers have saved more than $1 billion through the gift certificate program.

    I used to use restaurant.com all the time, but there are hardly any places here that use them. When I go on vacation, we usually stock up.

    I’m sure that he could eat all of that pizza by himself! 🙂 I used to be a volleyball coach, and I ate so much food on the run simply because the team and I didn’t have time for anything else! We could have used Restaurant.com gift vouchers back then. It seems like a great service.

    The last time I checked, Restaurants.com didn’t have any places in my area we could use it with. But I really hope they have expanded their market, I would love to use them!

    I have used Restaurants.com for getting a really good deal on eating at the Restaurants where i like. I bought a $25.00 gift certificate for $4 once. I took my family out for a delicous lunch. I need to get a new Certificate to eat out at the Holidays.

    I’ve heard of it before but still haven’t used it yet. I’ve heard that it’s a great place to find new restaurants in your area that you haven’t heard of before or noticed. I’ll have to try it out because we might just find our new favorite restaurant!

    I have heard many thing about Restaurant.com and most were not positive. Maybe they didn’t understand how the program worked. I am glad you explained about the minimum purchase. The pizza looks yummy.

      Hi Patricia.. I can honestly say we loved it… Not sure if people had bad experience with the service or the gift Certificate, but we really enjoy it and it could have been that Restaurant.com has changed since as well…?? So far it is a wonderful tool and I highly recommend it to all my friends to save a buck or two 🙂 Thanks for the visit and hope you will give them a try, too
