About Restaurant.com

When I entered the Restaurant.com homepage, I immediately noticed a diner smiling while eating, which gave me a good impression of the brand. It’s clear that the brand pays attention to detail, creating a website that’s simple and easy to use.

Restaurant.com connects diners with local restaurants by offering discounted gift certificates and special deals. It works as a marketing platform to help restaurants attract more customers and fill their tables. 

Diners can buy certificates at a lower price and use them at participating restaurants, although some rules may apply, such as minimum spending or limited usage times.

In 1999, CEO Dr. Cary Chessick in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Restaurant.com created a new kind of marketing program that many others soon followed. 

The program gives restaurants free marketing, an online presence, and access to a large audience of people who love trying new places to eat, all in exchange for dining discounts. 

Back then, most restaurants didn’t have websites, so free marketing was a big incentive to join. Even today, with many restaurants running their own sites and digital promotions, the benefit of reaching thousands of local diners still holds strong.

Restaurant.com Reviews

If you’re okay with the listed restaurants, their hours, and the spending limit, it can be a good deal. It’s also handy for group dinners with friends.

Check which restaurants near you accept Restaurant.com. You might find only a few you’d like to visit. Then see if there’s a minimum spending requirement before using your gift card. It excludes alcohol, tax, and tip. Also, look for any other rules, like certain days or times, or if it’s only for dine-in or takeout.

If you find restaurants near you listed on Restaurant.com, it’s a good idea to call them first to confirm they still work with the site. Some restaurants may no longer be partnered and might not even know they’re still listed.
