Greedy, unethical owner and server...
I went to Old Mill Brewery with a Groupon yesterday. The Groupon was for $40, for which I paid $20. I have used dozens and dozens of Groupons and have never had any other restaurant add charges because I was using a Groupon. The issues that I experienced were these:
They upcharged FULL MENU PRICE on the food we had BECAUSE we used a Groupon. So, for an item that was $15.99 on the full price menu we were charged $21.39 with the Groupon upcharge, I was also charged a $1 upcharge on one other item. They also added a service charge of 18% to our ticket for a party of 2, which is usually added only for parties of 6 or more in the majority of restaurants.
The point of buying a Groupon is to get a good deal, and they definitely left me feeling insulted and ripped off instead.
The food and beer don't even matter, because of the greed of the owner and the server.
If you are a Groupon user, beware of this restaurant. Where the Groupon said ""get $40 worth of american pub fare and drinks for $20"", I actually got $40 worth for $34.88. That is NOT how Groupons work. They were greedy and unethical, and I am disappointed and will not be returning.
