Don't buy the certificates for papa johns. You can't combine these certificates with ANY special they are running. Can only use with regular prices items. Not worth it.
If I don't check my credit card they would have double charged me. I will never use this service again. I am going to let Atlas Chicken know what they did also.

I bought several certificates to use at a restaurant and unfortunately they went out of business. I tried to reach out to Local Flavor only to be redirected on their site and the only way to contact them was by an online form. I never heard from anyone. Yesterday we used a different certificate and got a survey email from Local Flavor that had a phone number i called and was finally able to to talk to someone about a refund. They would only give me credits not a refund which would have been fine however it was not the full amount of credits/cash i used to purchase the certificates. They gave me a credit of $56 but it should have been $75! I have now lost out on $25 and have no other options than to use the "credit" they offered me. They would not honor the same promo or even offer something similar to it for me to recoup some of the $25 lost. Then to make things worst after talking to the already irritated manager ( i have to assume she was having a bad day since she got on the line and was not pleasant at all) she emailed me and was completely rude that email should have never been sent to a "customer we value". Customer service is awful - they need to work on that BIG time, i will never purchase another certificate from them ever again and i advise you not to do business with them either, if you do good luck if you have an issue. (she also advised me that their policy's would be changing and be getting worse - i have to assume business is not going well and they are on the brink of going under!)
****DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM*****
I purchased one of their "Deals" and the Restaurant closed it's doors a few weeks later. I have contacted and contacted and CONTACTED Local Flavor for a refund. Submit a request so they can ignore it. Try and call and they have you hold just to tell you on a recorded message to try again later-
Do yourself a favor, Don't. Just DON'T!
Bought 2 coupons for the Cabin in Willowick Ohio because we like the place. We went there tonight with our $25 coupon and spent $130 only to be told that they no longer accept the coupons and sorry.
I ordered 3 of the Bounce special and they worked perfect with no issues! These reviews make you nervous but I had no issues. I also got additional savings for my first order
I am a merchant. It is absolute a rip off, I would never ever recommend it to any business. I believed this sales person like an idiot, she was really good in selling me this trash.
They sell coupons to restaurant that won't take them...then won't give you a refund. Took about a year to get reply from them
SCAM DO NOT BUY FROM THIS MERCHANT! If your purchase expires you will NOT be refunded to purchase from another company! What a SCAM! They take your money and leave you left with nothing. They try to keep repeating that it states it in fine print. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! Will never purchase from here again!
Bought an offer for cookie factory that expired in December went to use it and was told they were not accepting them when I contacted local flavor I was told that Christmas was considered an event or promotion so I was not eligible for a refund since when is Christmas a promotion or event it is a bakery all year it sells baked goods nothing special about that,, use groupon they honor their vouchers
You have no way to get ahold of this Company that You spend money with. Businesses went out of Business and I could not get ahold of Local Flavor to get My Money back
I Purchased a certificate on their site. The Business refused to honor the certificate. I called customer service more then 10 times its straight go to voice massage. I lose my money
If I could give negative stars I would! This company is a SCAM! They advertised certificates for my business WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT! They STOLE money from my business! DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE!
If your a restaurant owner, run! Do not do business with these people. This is the deal with Local Flavor, "we will sell your food for half price" (which you see nothing from, and when I say nothing, I mean not a dime). They make $10 for $20 of your food, which YOU the restaurant owner are supposed to honor, just for them putting your picture on there website to draw in 'Cheap-asses' who won't tip, buy all the coupons they have to offer so you are feeding the same cheap $#*! family for months on end for FREE. Then when they ask for a upgrade, say Avocado on a burger or extra ranch, they $#*! and complain cuz you charged them 0.50 for it! Worst deal you can ever do. We were giving away $1200 to $1500 a month to a handful of the same customers! Couldn't get out of it. Put us out of business when we stopped offering the cheap asses free food they started writing bad reviews! Think of attracting the worst customers possible and offering them free food, that's what this program is about %100! Run!
Month after month we receive the MINT MAGAZINE at our home, advertising coupons available for sale for POPPY'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT in Ponte Vedra and BEACHSIDE SEAFOOD in Jax Beach having LOCAL FLAVOR COUPONS or sale. We rush to purchase the day the magazine arrives, only to get the message that they are SOLD OUT! I find it more than coincidence that even though we check off to notify us when they come available, we are NEVER notified, yet the next MINT MAGAZINE comes out with the same advertisement! Deceiving the public is what they are doing@@!
CERTIFICATES ARE NO GOOD. THEY DON'T REFUND. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS ARE DUMB AS MUD. THEY ACTUALLY TOLD ME THEY ARE DOING A "one-time courtesy" BY GIVING ME A CREDIT FOR FUTURE USE THAT I WILL NEVER USE.
Went to use a certificate for Popeyes and they refused it, saying they don't receive their money from LocalFlavor so they stopped taking them. LocalFlavor is taking forever to get back to me!
I Purchased a certificate on their site. The Business refused to honor the certificate. I tried contacting local flavor which was a complete joke! Do not purchase from this site!

I purchased a certificate from Local Flavor entitling me to a $30 voucher to use at Moe's Southwest Grill. I placed an order for $39.31 and provided the certificate number. I provided the voucher to the merchant. However, when my credit card bill arrived I found that the $30 certificate was not applied. I contacted Local Flavor and they told me that the voucher was redeemed by the merchant for that transaction. I am now out the $30 certificate. When I contacted Local Flavor to explain the issue they told me that they are not responsible for anything after I purchase the certificate and that has to be worked out between me and the merchant. I contacted both my credit card company and the merchant and they both told me I need to resolve this with Local Flavor but they refuse to resolve this and work with the merchant so now I lost a $30 certificate and Local Flavor refuses to help me. They don't stand behind their certificates and if the merchant decides to just not redeem the certificate the consumer loses
I've used LocalFlavor so many times and it works! I'm picky on where I eat so when they are available in the website, I get them right away and use it right away and it always works
Answer: Unfortunately it looks like their customer support is shut down or closed with no answers. I had to go to my bank to reject the transaction and get my bank to refund our money for the invalid certificates.
Answer: The number they have is bs as the whole company is. Most merchants say they were tricked and claim they get nothing. This is why merchants often are refusing these vouchers also. Have fun trying to get refund on anything. They were decent early in but not now. Stay clear of anything with these guys...
