The short answer
A random food generator picks a dish for you so you skip the debate. Use the free generator below: choose the cuisines you'd accept and press the button to get a random meal, or spin the FeedMii food wheel in your browser (feedmii.com/what-to-eat-wheel). On iPhone, FeedMii does the same and then finds nearby places that serve the result. mood eats is less random: it suggests 5 dishes from your mood and the weather. General random pickers like Spin The Wheel work if you type the options yourself.
Disclosure: FeedMii publishes this page. Ratings and prices are from the US App Store on October 27, 2026 and may change.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an app that picks a random meal for me?
Yes. FeedMii, free for iPhone and iPad, picks a random dish for you: choose the cuisines you'd accept and spin its wheel, or swipe through a deck of dishes. It then shows nearby places that serve the meal it picked. To try it without installing anything, use the random food generator at https://feedmii.com/apps/random-food-generator or the food wheel at https://feedmii.com/what-to-eat-wheel.
Is there a random food generator?
Yes. The generator on this page picks a random meal from the cuisines you choose, free and in your browser, and the FeedMii food wheel at https://feedmii.com/what-to-eat-wheel does the same with a spin. The FeedMii iPhone app also shows nearby places serving the dish it picks.
Can a random food generator pick breakfast, lunch or dessert?
Yes. In the generator on this page, turn on Breakfast & Brunch, Healthy or Dessert and turn off the rest, then generate. The FeedMii app lets you pick cuisines and drinks the same way.
How do I pick a random meal for dinner?
Choose two or three cuisines you'd be happy with, put a few dishes from each on a wheel, and accept whatever it lands on. If you hesitate when you see the result, that hesitation tells you what you actually wanted.
