Order take-out or delivery from a number of restaurants in your area. Let GrubHub find restaurants near you by using your phone’s GPS capability, or input the address or location of your choice. GrubHub aggregates menus and reviews in one place, so you can figure out where you want to go based on more than just what's close. GrubHub also lets you order food from restaurants it determines are open and accepting online orders, and you can input your credit card info right to your device, making ordering delivery or take-out as easy as pressing a button.   Less

Foodspotting for Android provides users with a comprehensive list of popular restaurants in their area. Using GPS, the app finds user-submitted restaurant reviews to recommend. The difference between this app and a lot of similar ones is that users can also identify a favorite dish at a particular restaurant- even if, overall, that restaurant has not received very good ratings. Users generally upload photos of their recommended restaurants or dishes, and Foodspotting lets you customize your search by following users with similar tastes, allowing you to bookmark favorite dishes and restaurants, and by letting you provide your own feedback of other users' recommendations. Foodspotting, which just hit the Google Play store's Editor's Pick list this week, is a user-submitted work-in-progress, so if you live in one of our more rural coverage areas and Foodspotting recommends you dine at a restaurant 50 miles or more away, do us all a favor and add your own local recommendations.   Less
