The short answer
Restaurant picker apps take the nearby options and choose one for you. Restaurant Roulette and I Don't Care spin a wheel of restaurants that match a cuisine; Food Flip makes you pick between two at a time; Dining Decider and NomBot show one or three suggestions at a time. FeedMii works the other way round: it picks the dish first and then lists nearby restaurants that serve it, which helps when you don't know what you want.
Disclosure: FeedMii publishes this page. Ratings and prices are from the US App Store on October 25, 2026 and may change.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an app that randomly picks a restaurant?
Yes. Restaurant Roulette and I Don't Care build a wheel from restaurants near you and spin it. FeedMii spins a wheel of dishes instead and then shows restaurants near you that serve the winner.
Which restaurant picker works when travelling?
Apps that use your current location work anywhere they have restaurant data. FeedMii also has a Local option that suggests dishes from the country you are in, then finds places that serve them.
