My favorite that I've used for years, foursquare, is shutting down in a few days. Pretty bummed because I found some of the best restaurants I've ever been to with it. 15 years and thousands of reviews, all in the trash now.

Google maps is useless for most cities, in mine every restaurant has a 4.7-4.8, and seems gamed.

Yelp is an awful company I'd rather not use, and its based on top reviewers, rather than reviews.

Tripadvisor is missing way too much to be useful.

What are ppl using nowadays?

For vegetarians & vegans: Happy Cow

Vegan btw, and happy cow is probably the most buggy app on my phone. I'd like it to be good, but you can barely search within a map area.

on principle I don't use apps, their website seems to work fine though! Maybe this is showing my age, but I feel like researching restaurants is a task for being on a real computer 😄

also vegan btw, but can only afford to actually go to a restaurant maybe a few times a year.

vegan btw btw, also had issues with their app, but the website works just fine for some reason
