The most ridiculous reservation system… The most ridiculous reservation system ever!!! We paid $50 for a reservation for 7 at Cidercaide in Austin this past Friday evening. When we arrived, we acknowledged the table they had saved for us inside and asked if we could sit Outside. We were told that if there was an empty table, of course! Little did I know that our $50 reservation would still be charged to my credit card. I will never make a reservation at a restaurant or any place of business using Tock!!!!!

It's a scam. Don't use unless you like giving donations to them. This is a company that accepts $$ for "gift certificates" and then you discover they have no restaurants that accept the credit. Haha. Jokes on you! I tried to use the credits twice with a restaurant they list. There's no phone number to discuss with them, and they refuse to answer emails asking the people who gifted you to be refunded. It's a scam.

Elaborate Scam We tried three times to use tock. Each time they charged us money in advance only for the restaurants to have never heard of tock before, and leading to a huge billing issue each time. Until now, we haven't been able to use our money on tock, and there's no way to remove it. And all support does is give default answers. Fairly convinced their business model is to make the product almost impossible to use so that they people just never use the money they actually have. If you like someone, NEVER gift them a tock gift card - it's the worst thing you can do to someone

What value does Tock provide diners? I made a reservation for two at Daisies, a relatively new Chicago restaurant. We had a lovely time, but I will not go back if every time I make a Tock reservation I am charged $21 for two for nothing. As a frequent restaurant diner (3-4 times a week) I prefer Open Table and Resy. My partner prefers to call directly to restaurants. Now, I understand why.

What a bunch of crooks What a bunch of crooks. They charged us $50 just to make a reservation at a NYC restaurant.
