Groupon restaurant deals - any good?

My feeling is that restaurants that offer these deals tend to be useless places, empty for a reason. Am I being harsh?

I think it is like anything, there are good and bad. I have had some very good meals. When I see the same place keep coming up then I tend to avoid it.

I would say on balance they are good deals and it gives you an opportunity to try places you wouldn't other wise.
Not sure if I can mention names, but I've been treated well and no differently from full paying customers when I have used coupons for restaurants however not the same when I purchased a hair stylist deal ....

Yeah it's a real mixed-bag. I've been to some great restaurants through Groupon but I've had friends that have been to not so great ones. Check the restaurants reviews on Tripadvisor etc before buying!

the ones i've tried have all been good, some spectacularly so - definitely check reviews first though
