What's new
Everything we've shipped and everything on the bench. The app updates itself β you always have the latest.
The app now lives at https://roadworthy.us - short, memorable, and made for a US road-trip app. Old links keep working. Same app, same map, new address worth sharing.
Italian (8,447 spots, right after Pizza), Pub (1,853 - gastropubs, brewpubs, bar & grills, taverns), and Fusion (160) are filter chips now. And the "apply to all locations" box on the edit page carries the score along with the signature dish - new locations of a graded brand go green together, while any location that earned its own score from real drivers keeps it. The community's votes always outrank ours.
Carry over score as well with multiple locations
Add Italian as a category too pls
Think We need maybe "pub" and "fusion"
Sitting between Tacos and Sandwiches: one tap covers Chinese, Japanese, Sushi, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, Ramen, Pho, Poke and more - 39,000+ spots that had no chip to call home.
Think we need to have Asian as a sort (next to burgers, pizza, etc) No real way to get to them without.
Every search result now shows its town and state - we filled in the missing hometown for 100,924 restaurants the national import left blank (Hattie B's included), and anything still unknown heals itself as people browse. Coffee Shops is a filter chip now, with 15,345 spots behind it. Leaving a restaurant page no longer teleports the map back home: you return to exactly where you were browsing, the list follows along, and a Re-center button appears whenever you're looking somewhere you aren't. And adding places got easier - a web search box on the Add page finds any restaurant by name, no website required.
Maybe we should put a "web search" right above url to make adding places easier? If they don't have a website build a scraping tool to grab info?
When viewing a place and you exit out leave at that same place on the map. If you are looking at places in an area you don't want it going back to where you are every time. Maybe a button you can return to where you are if you want to "Re-Center"
Think we need to add "coffee shops" as a catagory.
There are a lot of places (hattie b's as an example) that don't show town and state when searching. Please fix
Search now looks where you're looking - anchor a state or town and results come from there, not from back home. Chains and dry cleaners no longer sneak into the search dropdown (every Chick-fil-A is gone, and the four genuine non-restaurants hiding in our data are off the map - The French Laundry stays, that one's real). URL autofill pulls the phone number, city, and opening hours straight from Google, and addresses land street-first like they should. Find other locations now sweeps the whole country: Hattie B's went from 1 result to 12. A failed save can't wipe your typed form anymore - the crash behind The Chick and The Pig is fixed, and that spot is on the map in Algonquin, IL. And signature dishes: type it once, tick "apply to all locations," done.
When sorting by state and trying a search within that state it does not work.
When adding Signature Menu item on multiple locations add the items across all locations
Was trying to upload https://www.thechickandthepig.com/ And would not upload. Pulled info but said couldn't save. The option was "reload" but when you reload it whipes information out. Please add and fix the issue on adding places.
Please remove all Chick fil a's This is a chain
All 1,028 Wawa, Buc-ee's, and Wally's locations are on the map as validated green pins with the new Legendary Road Stop badge and a dedicated filter chip. Brisket sandwiches, Beaver Nuggets, and built-to-order hoagies now count as worth the detour - because they are.
Doesn't work properly. Example https://hattieb.com/ There are a bunch of locations but only pulls 19th street and chicago locations.
Came across some dry cleaners, Mr Cs as an example. Need to remove any entries that aren't restaurants except the gast stations Wallys, Bucees, and Wallys.
Not pulling the phone number and imports the address weird. Make sure address, then city.
I think we need to add all Wawa, Bucee's, and Wally's gast stations. They are special and have great food. Please add
Searching monks now finds Monk's - punctuation doesn't matter anymore, and results near you rank first instead of alphabetical strangers from other states. Restaurants surfaced by the address search get saved to the map the moment you tap them. Also in this release: every green pin got photos, hours, ratings and an AI recap; 263 permanently-closed places were swept off the map automatically; 52 new One Bite spots; nightly cloud backups confirmed and a watchdog that restarts the app if it ever stops answering.
Coverage went from 30 thousand to 248 thousand independent restaurants - we mined the complete OpenStreetMap dataset for every named non-chain restaurant, cafe and drive-in in the country. And if you browse somewhere we still missed, the app quietly searches that area once and fills it in within seconds. Tested on Three Lakes, WI: zero restaurants before, the whole town now.
Enter where you're going and every restaurant along the way sorts by how many minutes of detour it actually costs you - computed on our own routing engine covering every road in America. Cards show open-at-arrival based on your ETA. Try it: set From and To on the Explore page.
We pulled Guy Fieri's full trail: 1,536 DDD restaurants added or badged (skipping ones reported closed), all verified-green with coordinates from the source. The map's curated layer grew from 431 to 1,960 pins, and there's a new DDD filter chip. Ratings and hours fill in automatically as people browse.
What's new entries now carry a status - requested, planned, in progress, done - so you can see where every ask stands (all eight of yours: done). Hovering any map pin shows the restaurant's name. Also today: filter chips actually filter (tacos, BBQ, fried chicken all have real inventory now), and admins can quick-grade any restaurant right from its page.
Make it when you "hover" it shows the name of the restaurant.
The filters (bbq, burgers, fried chicken, etc) are not working please fix
When an admin is logged in, let them rate, add , change score from anywhere
Back button on restaurant pages. Manual add now quick-grades (75-95 staff score) and finds coordinates from the address automatically. Toast and Instagram links pull through Google verification even when those sites block us. Multi-location grab: after autofill, hit Find other locations then Add all. Also new since v9: restaurants near you show in the list and map with Google ratings and live hours, sort by rating, and the What's new page you're reading.
When posting a url of a restaurant that has multiple locations. We need to gather all location!
Automatically make it to where we visited (because we have), and make it a 90 or road worthy stop. Also make where when manually entering can quickly choose the grade.
Toast also is a popular place that restaurants host their websites. Need to be able to pull from their link as well.
A lot of restaurants don't have a website. Need a way to grab from instagram
Need to be able to grab lat long upon sharing from address if need be.
When you are in a restaurant needs a back button to go to the prior page.
Sign-ups, confirmations, and password resets now flow through email. Verify spots you have visited and help new finds earn their color.
New Get-the-app page: one-tap install on Android and desktop, add-to-home-screen steps for iPhone. The app keeps itself up to date automatically.
Explore now opens centered on your location with a follow-me blue dot, falls back to city-level from your connection if GPS is off, and remembers where you were last time.
A public board of picks from the crew and fellow roadtrippers - anyone can post, no account needed.
30,000+ independent restaurants on a dark-theme map with the evidence-backed scoring system: validated picks start green at 85, new finds start gray and earn their color from real drivers. Search, filters, profiles, photo reviews, and a public suggestion box.
