Best Apps For Finding A Place To Eat

Posted by Chris Hall on March 1st, 2010

I've been hungry lately. Real hungry. Some hunger is conquered by Chipotle, but this hunger is only has one weakness, and it is good, local food. Fortunately for all of us in the same situation, there are plenty of apps for that. Here are the four best, brought to you by the never ending hunger of Chris Hall.

4. Yelp - I really like Yelp when I'm looking for a place to eat. Because of its vast user base, the Yelp app provides more restaurants per search than any other app I've found. There are also more customer review on Yelp than any other service, so if you believe that more is better, Yelp is for you. The problem with Yelp is the fact the reviews are all user based, and very rarely do people give mediocre reviews. When I search for restaurants, everything is right around 4 stars, leaving me to wonder what I should really eat that night. There is an occasional in-depth review, but for the most part people just write something like, "This is THE place to go" with an occasional, "my waiter didn't bring my water fast enough, but I still go four days a week… 1 star!!!".
