What genius mind created this??! 5 By rhobkickrhun Thank you thank you thank YOU! I’m so tired of my dishes. LOL.

Great addition for sheltering in place 5 By Lin Da Bee Easy to use. The visuals are great—a picture of the outside of every restaurant. It helps me remember if I’ve ever been there.

The MOST USEFUL restaurant app 5 By JGoldrath Another former beta tester here. Since I started using WhatToOrder a few months ago, It doesn’t even cross my mind to start a restaurant or food search from a delivery or reservation app, or from a review app like Yelp. You end up seeing only their limited inventory of restaurants and/or seeing them in questionable order, with restaurants right around the corner from me nowhere to be seen. I’ve used the app a lot, but wanted to highlight one situation where it saved me a ton of time researching. Back before everything closed down in NYC, I needed to find an Italian restaurant in the Bronx that was on either OpenTable or Resy (where I have accounts), since I was traveling up there with my family and wanted to make sure I could get a table. Bonus points for any place that had Linguini alla Vongole. WhatToOrder was the only app I could have possibly used to do this. I applied all the filters (cuisine, location, reservation providers and the linguini dish), and then linked to Yelp for each of the options, comparing their ratings, looking at photos. WhatToOrder doesn’t have restaurant ratings yet, but it required practically no additional work to make the extra tap, and the quid pro quo was that I knew I was seeing everything, and restaurants were ranked transparently by distance. I could have checked Google reviews and photos instead of Yelp, as both are equally comprehensive, to compare apples to apples. If you want the flexibility to flip back and forth between different review platforms, then having WhatToOrder and coming in “from the top” will save you a lot of time and frustration. The reservation filter came also in very handy. You end up linking to the mobile web version of OpenTable/Resy, rather than the app, and I was asked to sign in, but I believe in the short term those sites keep you logged in (as you navigate to different pages on the site), and in the longer term both iOS and Android will save your credentials so you only have to enter them that first time. Once you give this app a try, there is no going back.

Great for actually seeing the food nearby 5 By nothx123 I got this last fall as a beta tester when restaurants were still open, so I mostly used it for the dish search. I work in Williamsburg, and used it a lot when I wanted something specific for lunch. It was awesome for that! It’s a lot quicker to see everything by dish rather than having to check every restaurant. I ended up trying a lot more places than I would have otherwise. Now I’m using it to find restaurants that are still open near where I live, which has been a godsend. I’m in Queens, so the best stuff isn’t on Seamless. If you live in the outer boroughs, I definitely recommend downloading!

Super p 5 By TracieH1 Like the previous reviewer I was also a beta tester, so I’ve had a chance to use the app for a few months. Although, yes, there is probably an app out there for all of the individual features on WhatToOrder, it's nice to just need one app to access all of them. For example, if you want delivery, you don't necessarily need to know if a restaurant is on Seamless or Caviar, etc. You can see all the options and link directly to the one you want to use. So that’s helpful. I’m writing this during the pandemic, but this will hopefully be relevant soon — I actually found the app most helpful for going out to eat with friends, especially when everyone wants something different. Over Christmas, I planned brunch with three friends. One is vegan, but one wanted anything but “vegan” food. One of us was on a budget, but no one else wanted “diner” food. I was pregnant, so I didn't want to leave my neighborhood, etc. etc. WhatToOrder is the only app that made it easy to actually find a place that worked for all of us. Also, when you search for something like “vegan” or “gluten free,” you see all the individual dishes. An entire restaurant isn’t marked “vegan” just because it has one vegan dish. Because you can see the entire menu with individual dish prices, it's easier to decide whether the restaurant will work or not. Finally (sorry, not to make this too long), it’s also easy to enter different locations and see what's nearby. So if you're meeting a friend in a neighborhood you don't know very well, you can see, for example, what restaurants are close to the train and all the menus with dish prices. I will definitely say the app has helped me break out of the habit of ordering from the same three or four places all the time!
