I love that restaurant gift cards don't expire. I do wish that more restaurants in my area participated! If your fave restuarant is on here... you should 100% buy the gift cards and treat yourself to a some extra food/drinks!

Great to hear you're loving the flexibility. When your favorite restaurant shows up, it’s the perfect excuse to go out and enjoy a little extra while saving big!
Lost my certificates
I had gift certificates from the old app, they disappeared and I found out that now I have points but not able to redeem for $5 so if I exchange my point I lose $ because I exchange 2500 points for only $20, where’s the $5 option?

Hi Victor— thanks for your feedback. We requested more information from you through Trustpilot so we can look into your account and help resolve this but didn't hear back from you.
Just to clarify: your points never expire, and 2,500 points equals a $25 Restaurant.com certificate. You can redeem your points for any available dining deal listed on our site — there's no forced downgrade in value, and no requirement to redeem for $20 instead of $25.
We’d love the chance to help you directly. Thanks again - we look forward to hearing from you.

I always check Restaurant.com before we go on vacation to check if any restaurants on on there. We have tried some new ones because we got a certificate and we still go there years later. I live a good deal!

We've been using Restaurant.com for years to try new spots and for some of our favorite restaurants. Never had an issue with redemption and the periodic discounts make the savings even better.

Great when it works, need more options
I have used Restaurant.com for years and had many good experiences at home and when traveling. However, I find it less and less useful. There are very few if any restaurants in Delaware and certainly in the middle and southern Delaware areas. I have also run into situations where the restaurants have said they no longer accept the certificates. The Middletown and Smyrna areas of Delaware have grown tremendously in the last 10-15 years and continue to grow rapidly, yet still few if any new opportunities on Restaurant.com.
When it works it is great. I just wish there were more options in the Middletown, Smyrna and Dover areas. I most frequently am looking for casual places like pizza, cheesesteaks, burgers and ice cream places.

Hi T D,
Thanks so much for being a longtime supporter — we really appreciate you sharing both the positive experiences and the areas where we can do better.
You're absolutely right that Middletown, Smyrna, and Dover have seen tremendous growth, and we've shared your feedback with our restaurant team to help guide future outreach. While we’re actively working to expand our network, the aftermath of COVID continues to impact restaurant participation — especially in smaller markets.
In the meantime, you might want to check out our Dining Discount Pass option, which gives you access to thousands of national offers, including casual spots like pizza, burgers, and ice cream. It can be a great short-term way to keep enjoying savings while we work to bring more local restaurants on board. You can learn more at: https://restaurant.com/dining-discount-pass
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!
Super easy to use
Super easy to use. I like that I can buy Restaurant.com vouchers and am able to transfer them. Especially during Covid when a lot of places either no longer acceted them or went out of business. The app makes it a lot easier to use for me and for restauarants.

Thanks for the feedback, Ringo — and we’re glad to hear it works well when you find a restaurant you're interested in trying out.
We know that in less populated areas, options can be more limited. That’s something we’re actively working on as we expand the program across the entire nation. The good news is your points never expire, and any unused certificates can always be exchanged anytime — so we hope you’ll check back as new deals become available.
We also offer a Dining Discount Pass that gets you discounts at national establishments. You can redeem your points for that if it's something that interests you.
Thanks again for being part of the Restaurant.com community!

Love Resturant.com Gift cards
I been using Resturant.com from last 15 years. It is a best app for Resturant deals. I have saved lots of money so far & sometime I have paid that in tips. I would consider trying once definitely.

Fifteen years is amazing! It’s great to hear how much you’ve saved and how easy it’s been to use. Thanks for being such a loyal fan of Restaurant.com.
Mostly Good
I have had many delicious meals at some of the participating restaurants and it is always nice to receive the discount/savings when paying my bill.
I have also had the unfortunate experience of dining in a restaurant and subsequently learning they will not accept the certificate even though the restaurant is still on the website.

We’re so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed many delicious meals using Restaurant.com — and we truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
We also understand how frustrating it can be when a restaurant appears on our site but no longer accepts certificates. While all participating locations agree to honor our deals, occasionally a restaurant leaves the program without notifying us. We’re under new management and actively working to improve how our listings are maintained.
We're also rolling out new tools for our restaurant partners that we're optimistic will help reduce miscommunication and make it easier for them to update their participation status in real time.
As a reminder, your points never expire, and any unused certificates can always be exchanged at any time — no questions asked. Just log into your account and head to the Certificates section to make the switch.
Thanks again for your feedback — it helps us continue to improve the experience.

Looking for that new GEM of a restaurant? Look Here!
I have been using Restaurant.com for many years. What is great about using them is the gems I have found over the years. Yes, sometimes I have dined at a restaurant because of the offer on Restaurant.com and found the restaurant below average, but this has been exceedingly rare, and at least I got to try the place at a discounted rate. But this is more than offset by the many gems I would never have found if not for Restaurant.com. We have found five over the years that consistently rate five stars and many more above-average places. Each gem is in our top restaurants we frequent, and we dine out at least 5 nights a week. For example, we found a Jewish deli in San Diego, Elijah's, on Restaurant.com. It has exquisite corned beef sandwiches. Whenever we go to San Diego, we always stop at Elijah's. The other is Trupiano's Italian Bistro in Fallbrook. This is way off the beaten path for us, but we try to visit Trupiano's at least every other month. They have outstanding food, and the service is always fantastic. We love their stuffed mushroom appetizer and several Italian dishes and pizzas. If you have never tried Restaurant.com, give it a try. I am certain you, too, will find that gem that you will return to frequently. In the worst case, you get to try new places for less. I understand they are now under new management, and I am already starting to see some wonderful improvements.

What an incredible review. We love hearing stories like this—finding hidden gems, saving money, and turning new discoveries into favorite spots. It’s great to know places like Elijah’s and Trupiano’s have become part of your regular rotation. Thank you for being such a loyal supporter over the years and for recognizing the improvements. We’re just getting started!

Not Free Food, But Good Meal Deals
I've used Restaurant.com for many, many years. Dining with their certificates allows us to have more enjoyable meals out, with significant savings. Restaurant.com is a great way to discover new restaurants and experience them at a discount.

I’m still waiting on my refund
I’m still waiting on my refund! I have 4 unused SoGo coupons that I was supposed to get refunded for since they no longer take the coupons. I can’t even sign in to my account on the app. I’ve been cheated and robbed.

Hi 420ba,
We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment with SoGo. Not to worry - you haven't lost any value. If you have unused restaurant certificates, you can exchange them for a new restaurant at any time, for any reason—no questions asked. We don't offer refunds due to the flexibility of our exchange policy, where your points will never expire and can always be exchanged.
If you're having trouble with the app, please ensure your operating system is updated and you're using one of the top browsers like Safari or Chrome. While our app is optimized for the most prevalent devices and browsers, occasionally a user will experience a glitch. You can also try deleting and reinstalling the app. That has worked for others.
Additionally, our website is mobile optimized, and you can always access your account on the restaurant.com website.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback!

I like that these certificates do not expire. There are many selections to choose from. If I decided to want to switch to a different certificate, I can get credit for the one snd buy a different one. The only issue I have is if there are discount offers, if I am using my points, it won't allow me to use the discount.
