CLOSED! Restaurant.com Review And Giveaway!

Restaurant.com 25 CLOSED! Restaurant.com Review And Giveaway!

Have you and your family cut back on extracurricular activities like enjoying a nice meal out? Being a stay at home Mom of two small boys, married to an underpaid (and might I add exceptional) Teacher has certainly made us re-evaluate our eating habits and pretty much all entertainment expenses in general.  That being said, I’d like to let you in on our family secret-Restaurant.com.

Restaurant.com offers gift certificates to more than 15,000 restaurants and bars across the country for a fraction of their actual value. That means customers have access to $25 gift certificates for only $10. From appetizers to dessert, from wine to dinner, Restaurant.com helps restaurant owners promote the new and unique aspects of their restaurants while providing diners with great value in a fun, new and cost effective way.

We have used them for several dining out experiences from wine bars to steak houses without hurting our budget. The savings is right at your fingertips! The Restaurant.com site is very user-friendly. From their main page, you are given the option to look up local restaurants by zip code, city or state. From there you can refine your search by many, many options to locate exactly what you want. Just check out this search I did for a local restaurant in Tampa. At the top of the listings it shows you the newest restaurant added to Restaurant.com and what restaurant is recommended in the area, Shula’s Steak house, can we say Yum! Once purchased, the gift certificate can be printed instantly or emailed for safe keeping.

Several times a year, Restaurant.com offers promo codes that can be used at their checkout page and can save your family even more money! I’ve seen codes as much as 80% off at times. You can’t beat that!! Oh and did I mention the gift certificates NEVER expire, even better! I’ve actually had a restaurant close before I was able to use the gift certificate and I simply contacted Restaurant.com’s customer service and they issued a credit to my account so that I could purchase a new gift certificate. Now that’s great customer service in my book.

So why not give Restaurant.com a look, or even better a try. I’m certain you will be pleased at what you find.

Right now we are giving one lucky reader 2 Restaurant.com $25 gift cards so they can enjoy a nice night out! Enter below!

I LOVE Restaurant.com and do not understand why more of my friends do not use it! Saves SO much money! There are several certificates I have already purchased (and have not used yet) including: House of Blues at Downtown Disney, Dexters and Kimonos. So, I’m looking forward to visiting those soon!
