Looking for a place to dine out?

I was looking around Restaurant Selector for a local restaurant in my area and was amused by the site’s creator idea and concept. As quoted directly from their site:

When you can’t decide where to go for lunch or dinner, use the selector. The ‘Restaurant Selector’ uses a random function to select it’s results. The site is also constantly expanding to include new features, check back often, use it everyday!

I enter the zip code in the search box, and it came back with lots of options with reviews and descriptions, location, phone numbers, website if available and even a distance (in miles) within your area.
