The short answer
If you can't decide what to eat, use an app that narrows your choices to one dish and then shows where to get it. FeedMii does this with swipe cards or a spin wheel and then lists nearby places that serve the dish. If you already know the cuisine and only need a restaurant picked, Restaurant Roulette or I Don't Care spin a wheel of nearby restaurants. mood eats suggests dishes from your mood and the weather.

How to choose
- You don't know what you want: pick an app that chooses a dish first (FeedMii, mood eats).
- You know the cuisine but not the restaurant: a restaurant wheel is faster (Restaurant Roulette, I Don't Care).
- Two people disagree: a head-to-head format helps (Food Flip, Dinner Decider).
- You want to cook at home: use a recipe app; most apps here find restaurants.
