Overall my experience with groupon has been absolutely fantastic. The process is very simple and making going out to do something out of the ordinary easy. However, I have recently been to an event that was not what I was led to believe. Be careful because some of these events sold on groupon use the word "fest" a little loosely. I recently went to a BBQ fest assuming that it would be like any beer fest on groupon; I.e. 25+ beer booths giving out free samples. The event I went to was nothing like that. A friend and I paid 30 dollars to get in only to discover that there were 5 BBQ stands selling their product for full price. The only redeeming factor was that after contacting groupon I was quickly given a refund for this so call "bbq fest"

It was good but not great, I wish it was at a different location (bigger) and if they had more food vendors

It was worth the money, discovered some cool spots but not as much food as you would think. Several places offered welcome shots too
