Ratings and reviews

Disappointed with this app. I didn't find it very useful. Seeing food options are great, but not useful without a menu, a hyperlink to the different websites, something more than what it offers. I would have to leave the app to retrieve that information. Not much here but names and reviews. Simply not enough. Good luck with the app. I love what you were trying to do.

A friend of mine came from out of town, we went to the restaurant she chose and it closed during covid and never reopened. It was a huge disappointment and waste of our time. Phoenix is a big city, so we drove pretty far. I won't berate your app, but you do need to be aware.

I have had this app for over a year but recently it got way better as more dining choices have been added. Pros: Easy to use interface. Love that I can set it for another city as I travel often...well used to before the Rona. I am a happy EatOkra user. Cons: Some of the dine-in or business hours info not right. Call the restaurant before you go.
