Eater Guides You to the Best Places in Your Town to Eat or Drink

Eater Guides You to the Best Places in Your Town to Eat or Drink

Android (4.0+)/iOS (5.0+): Food and restaurant review blog Eater just unveiled a mobile app that helps you find the hottest spots in your town for dinner or drinks. The app features a top-down map view of your location, and pinpoints for Eater-suggested and reviewed restaurants and bars near you.

The app uses your phone's GPS to figure out where you are, and then shows you all of the restaurants and nightspots that Eater has reviewed nearby. Tap any one of them to see photos, read a snippet of the review (along with a link to read more), and quick buttons to call the restaurant or get turn-by-turn directions there. The app is fast, and while it's ad-supported, it's totally free.

Our friends at Eater sent the app over to us, and it's a great tool to find an excellent place to eat, without the clutter and overwhelming options you'll naturally get with an app like Yelp or FourSquare, which aims to give you all of the nearby options. The downside of course is that you'll only find results in the two-dozen cities where Eater has on-the-street reviewers and reporters. If you live in or near one however, the app is worth a look. Grab it at the links below.
