This app is great

Wow I didn’t know there were so many black owned restaurants near me! This app is great 🙂

Great for avoiding BOBs!

I always use this to check and make sure I’m never supporting a BOB since they hate my kind. Works great, 5 stars!

Best app for the culture

Love this app! I can’t believe I didn’t know about it any sooner. These restaurants need the support. I plan to visit every single one in my city. Thank you to the developer for this!

Get this one!

I’ve found great restaurants using Eat Okra in several different states. I don’t usually leave reviews but I like to contribute to the helpful info users have shared with me. It’s a great app especially for business travelers who are tired of the same ol’ chain restaurants in every city.

Love this app!! :)

There aren’t a lot of black owned restaurants where I live, but this app helps me find them all and keep track of them all. I absolutely love this app. I couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s really easy to use too.
