*****

This app has all the locations visited by Guy Fieri on the show, geo-located around you wherever you are. Great for travelers looking for a good meal around the country.

The Unofficial Guide to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives has been one of the top 10 apps in the Food & Drink category almost every day for the last 6 months and was #1 for two weeks running. 80,000 users can't be wrong.

We've collected all the locations for you, geo-located them, and organized them by season and state. Every venue from the show is in the app, including the closed locations or those that have changed hands and names. 

Some of the restaurants have closed over the years. We've left them in the directory, but added the word *Closed* to the name of each so you don't waste your time trying to go there. 

Major features: 

► 980 Locations (as of 8/5/2017) and updated every week after the new episode airs, which is more than every other app – including the Food Network's own Food on the Road app (because we own them all and we check each week). Also, we regularly update closed or new addresses as we're informed by users.

► All locations are sortable by distance, alphabet, season, and state:

► Links to 456 recipes (so far) featured on the show (which you can also use as Guy's eating list)

► A Near Me map that lets you see as many or as few locations as you want 

► Recipes are sortable by season or by type of dish (main, side, breakfast, etc). 

► Post your visits to your Facebook or Twitter account.

► Leave comments about why you love each location for others to see.

► Update button if you find a mistake or a closed location

► Facebook, Twitter and Yelp links for every location that has them

### 5/5 — A fun way to explore a new city

*2025-12-13*

We love the app when we travel, it’s also fun to experience home with new experiences

### 1/5 — Unable to open

*2025-10-04*

I tried to open the app and got a connection error   
I tried to report the issue but the developer website is no longer available.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-06-09, version 3.0*

This app does not provide needed information. The amount of small diners is not worth the money and I found it unusable. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — App crashes

*2024-12-22, version 3.0*

I open the app, and am on a time limit before it crashes. Very exciting.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-08-13*

A great way to find the best spots when you are traveling.

### 5/5 — DDD

*2024-04-22, version 3.0*

Great app for DDD lovers! Just ate at my 220 Triple D. Thanks to this app!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-01-17, version 2.10*

Don’t spend money on this app. Doesn’t work. Keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy. Outdated. Poor functionality.

*2023-01-14, version 2.10*

You’ve wasted $2 if you purchased the ‘app’ like I did.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-11-30, version 2.10*

Must have been better a few years ago. As of 11/2022, this app is comically bad.

### 1/5 — Limited map views

*2022-08-15*

Nothing more than a list. I had an app a few years ago that had all the food channel shows.  You had the ability to center yourself on the map and see what’s around you & from what show. Thought this could be the same but it isn’t.
