If you are person who ever comes home from work and doesn't want to bother cooking, you might decide to order in or go out to eat. However, it might seem like you keep going to the same places and that you're starting to get bored. You might not know how to find great restaurants in your neighborhood, however. Here are some tips for figuring it out and getting the job done.

1. Use an App

There are a variety of mobile apps that are available that will allow you to figure out which restaurants are worth trying and which ones are not. One such app is called OpenTable, which is designed to allow you to make reservations on your phone without having to call the restaurant itself. They recently partnered with Yelp in order to allow you to look at reviews of the restaurants before you make a reservation. This is a great way to make sure that you are able to get food that you are going to like without having to wait too long for a table. Another great app option is known as Foodspotting, which is where users can go to restaurants and talk about the overall restaurant but also go into depth about the food that they ate. It features a photo-book scrolling format that allows you to look at the different dishes that people have eaten. If you see one that catches your eye, you can easily go for it.

2. Ask Restaurant Workers Where They Like to Eat

The next time that you go to a restaurant, ask your waiter and waitress what his or her favorite restaurants are and how they compare to the one at which you are currently sitting. You might not get an honest answer to the second part of your query, but it should be easy to find out where your restaurant workers like to eat and what dishes they like to get when they go to that restaurant. Getting reviews of different places is a great way to make sure that you are exploring all of your options.

3. Use Travel Websites

Finally, don't be afraid to use travel websites to find out about other restaurants. You might not know that the shady looking deli by your work serves the best corned beef in town until you read about the restaurant on the travel website. Pretend to be a tourist during your lunch break.

For more information, talk to a company that specializes in helping to find the best local restaurants in your area.
