I love urbanspoon. I travel a fair bit & finding a restaurant is not hard; finding a good one another story; and finding a good one near where I am or where I am going makes it that much harder.
Urbanspoon helps on both counts–good and nearby. My GPS, googlemaps, and AroundMe round out the quartet of finding good food on the road. When traveling I hate to eat at the same place twice. Urbanspoon caters to this impulse in me with its slot-machinelike interface.

Technology has advanced a bit since this article was written in 2007, and we think that GoodFood (by Goodrec) is a better alternative to finding local restaurants.

It has a fully interactive map view like Google Maps, as well as fun and useful ways to filter content and an easy way to make your own short recs. It’s a bit like the twitter of restaurant reviews.

GoodFood is available in the iTunes store at http://goodrec....oodfood/iphone/

Goodrec launched at TechCrunch 50. You can read about our public launch here on Techcrunch: http://www.tech...-to-the-public/

one valuable thing they did is aggregating newspaper reviews into the site, otherwise would be hard to find.

I love their iPhone app. It’s fun to shake for a restaurant – especially if you’re in a spontaneous mood.

With respect to the other commenters, I think UrbanSpoon goes one better.

Dining out is such a matter of personal preference. In a restaurant town like Seattle, there’s a range of places to eat from hole-in-the-wall burger shops to fine dining.

UrbanSpoon brings the best of what’s “professional” with what matters to you. It packages it up in a hip, easy to use site that’s also available on Facebook.

I think it has some room to improve, but it’s a superior product to what it’s been compared to here.

This site is not that big of a deal. Its a total clone of openlist.com and from what I can tell is actually built on the openlist software just has a different flavor.

I should note that the site which executes this model the best in my opinion is Metacritic. I’d like to see Metacritic add restaurants.

It has come up in Google searches of mine recently. It’s a good approach — kind of like Google News with a filter.
